The sudden turn of events made Emperor Yu and his eight guardians brace for battle!
They seemed surprised to find others present.
Following the direction of the voice, Emperor Yu and his eight guardians showed disdainful expressions!
They saw a young man in modern attire appear in mid-air, riding a flying sword!
Although he was handsome, they didn't consider handsomeness to be edible.
"Nascent Soul stage first layer cultivation?" Ao San grinned, "I never expected an ant like you to possess a spiritual artifact. Are you here to deliver it to us?"
Emperor Yu said, "Ao San, kill him, and that spiritual artifact will be yours!"
Emperor Yu did not take a cultivator at the first layer of the Nascent Soul stage seriously!
"Yes!"
Ao San was overjoyed and appeared before Chen Nan like a streak of light!
He threw a punch, creating a terrifying sonic boom!
As a peak expert at the ninth layer of the Nascent Soul stage, he could make Chen Nan vanish with a mere flick of his finger, let alone when he went all out!
He had no intention of wasting time with Chen Nan.
And at this moment!
Chen Nan moved!
His right hand, shaped like a dragon's claw, reached directly into Ao San's dantian!
*Pu ci!*
At this moment!
Time seemed to freeze!
Emperor Yu and his seven other ninth-layer Nascent Soul stage experts were all dumbfounded!
They clearly saw a mist of blood splash from Ao San's dantian!
Then, Chen Nan kicked Ao San's chest!
Ao San screamed and was sent flying backward!
Looking at Chen Nan again, he held a golden core the size of a walnut!
"Boss, avenge me!"
Ao San's face was filled with horror!
He couldn't understand how things had turned out this way!
Chen Nan was merely a cultivator at the first layer of the Nascent Soul stage, while he was a powerhouse at the ninth layer!
He could kill such an ant with a flick of his finger!
Moreover, after going all out, he had his life's golden core extracted by the opponent!
This was too damn brutal!
Emperor Yu's face was solemn, and he said in a low voice, "Young man, we should be meeting for the first time, right? Why did you injure my subordinate?"
Chen Nan looked at a grave below, "Do you see that lonely grave?"
"And then?" Emperor Yu had been cultivating here for days and had naturally noticed the lonely grave below!
Chen Nan's eyes showed an undeniable self-reproach and pain, "The woman inside is my wife. When I married her, she was already dead!"
Emperor Yu sneered, "Marrying a dead person? I never thought you'd be such a devoted lover!"
Chen Nan asked, "Do you know how she died?"
Emperor Yu frowned!
Chen Nan said through gritted teeth, "She was forced to death by your subordinates, True Person Nanyang and True Person Liyuan!"
"Therefore, from that moment on, I swore to the heavens that I would kill you in this life and avenge my deceased wife!"
Emperor Yu's killing intent surged, "Meaning, you killed Nanyang and Liyuan?"
Before the Underworld collapsed, he had dispatched two Foundation Establishment cultivators, intending to take over Mount Zhongnan as his cultivation ground!
But the two never returned!
Although he had guessed at the time that they had likely met with misfortune!
He never expected Chen Nan to deliver himself to his doorstep!
Chen Nan met his gaze and said coldly, "I am here today to kill you and avenge my deceased wife!"
Emperor Yu snorted heavily, "It's not that I look down on you, but do you have the strength?"
Even though Chen Nan had just killed Ao San, in his eyes, he was merely an ant!
Chen Nan's aura erupted, stirring the heavens and earth, causing the clouds and wind to change color, "Do you think you're the only one who got the news about the spirit stone vein on Qinglong Mountain?"
"Did you hear that someone was undergoing tribulation here, and then a spirit stone vein appeared?"
"Do you know that I was the one undergoing tribulation?"
"What do you mean?" Emperor Yu's face was filled with anger, but for some reason, an ominous premonition arose in his heart!
Chen Nan said, "Actually, you are very intelligent. If you hadn't been hiding in the capital, I would have had no chance to deal with you!"
"After all, your subordinates are hidden within various influential families!"
"Once I make a move against you, the capital will be in chaos!"
"Therefore, I had to find a way to lure you out!"
"You'll surely be very angry when I tell you this!"
"The reason you got the news about the spirit stone vein appearing on Qinglong Mountain was that I deliberately leaked it to you!"
"Only by doing so could I lure the snake out of its hole!"
"It's just that I didn't expect you to be so cruel as to kill the brothers who died for you!"
"Aren't you afraid they'll report you to King Yama after they die?"
"Then I'll send you to meet King Yama, and you can ask him directly if they reported me!" Emperor Yu pointed a single hand at the void, and in an instant, a massive golden palm print appeared in the sky!
This palm print blotted out the sun, like the Tathagata's divine palm, exuding a destructive and unparalleled aura!
Emperor Yu knew Chen Nan was not an ordinary person!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have instantly killed Ao San, a ninth-layer Nascent Soul stage expert!
Precisely because of this, he directly used his ultimate move!
His intention was to instantly kill Chen Nan!
Chen Nan looked up at the sky, calmly watching the giant golden palm descend!
"Why doesn't this guy dodge?"
"Perhaps he's stunned by my boss's technique!"
"That's right, a mere cultivator at the first layer of the Nascent Soul stage, his strength might be great, but how would he know the might of a peak ninth-layer Nascent Soul stage expert?"
As Emperor Yu's subordinates behind him were discussing animatedly!
The golden giant palm struck Chen Nan like a meteorite hitting the earth!
To their disbelief!
The giant palm did not smash Chen Nan into a pulp, but instead crushed over him, then heavily landed on Qinglong Mountain below, causing the mountainside to collapse and leaving a giant palm imprint!
And Chen Nan was completely unharmed!
Chen Nan spoke, "Is that all?"
"Holy crap! What's going on?"
"My boss's technique clearly hit him, but why is he unharmed?"
"Is this guy human or ghost?"
Emperor Yu's subordinates behind him were all stunned!
The scene before them surpassed their understanding!
"Next, it's my turn to fulfill my promise, it's time to kill you!" Chen Nan's gaze fell upon Emperor Yu!
Although he was only a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage!
Yet, under Chen Nan's gaze, Emperor Yu felt a sense of dread and terror!
He had never imagined that he, a peak ninth-layer Nascent Soul stage expert, would feel fear and unease in front of an ant at the early Nascent Soul stage!
Without further thought, he directly ordered, "What are you guys still standing there for? He's just wearing a treasure that can ignore magical attacks. Attack together, we must hack him into a thousand pieces!"
"Kill!"
Seven experts at the ninth layer of the Nascent Soul stage respectively unsheathed their long swords and flew towards Chen Nan, launching a fierce assault!
They did not have spiritual artifacts and could not fly on swords!
But at close range, they could fly through the air!
Chen Nan's eyes were indifferent, and he let out a low cry, "Sword, come!"
Instantly!
Nine swords were unleashed simultaneously, transforming into nine long rainbows of different colors in the air!
As fast as lightning, they instantly pierced the foreheads of the seven ninth-layer Nascent Soul stage experts!
Blood splattered across the sky!
The bodies of the seven men paused briefly in the air before falling towards Qinglong Mountain below!
Seeing this, Emperor Yu's face completely changed, his eyes filled with terror, "How can you be so strong?"
