"The master is right!"
"Yes, you said not to kill them, but you didn't say we couldn't kill them!"
"Damn it, you dared to threaten the master with Emperor Yu. Do you think our master is a pushover?"
"Brothers, enough talk, let's kill these scums! Let them know the consequences of offending our master!"
Xue Yun and the others attacked Zhong Wu and the others simultaneously!
A fierce battle thus ensued!
The sounds of impact above Qinglong Mountain echoed like thunder!
Blood was seen splashing across the sky!
It stained Qinglong Mountain red!
A pungent smell of blood filled the air!
However!
The situation was not very favorable!
After all, Chen Nan's side only had five Heavenly King-level powerhouses, while the enemy had six!
Their strength far surpassed Xue Yun and the others!
In an instant, dozens of Golden Core stage experts on Xue Yun's side were killed or wounded!
Even Xue Yun was severely injured by Zhong Wu!
He had cultivated the Buddhist arts of Golden Bell Shield and Iron Shirt, giving him terrifying physical defense!
Not to mention the wolf-toothed club in his hand was a low-grade spirit artifact!
It swung with great force in his hands!
Seeing Xue Yun in a precarious situation, Chen Nan pointed his finger from afar: "Go!"
Instantly!
A flying sword pierced through the air, instantly shattering Zhong Wu's Golden Bell Shield!
It pierced through his chest, splashing blood!
"Little Chen Nan, aren't you afraid of heavenly condemnation for doing this?" Zhong Wu was furious. He hadn't expected Chen Nan to attack from the shadows, nor did he expect his attack to be so terrifying!
Even his proud Golden Bell Shield couldn't withstand Chen Nan's assault!
Chen Nan stood quietly on the Gentleman's Sword, a hint of disdain on his face: "I only swore not to kill you, but I don't recall saying I couldn't injure you, do I?"
As he spoke, a sharp light flashed in his eyes: "That's right, I only said I wouldn't kill you, not that I couldn't injure you. This means that even if I beat you until you're at death's door, the heavenly laws can't do anything to me!"
Boom!
A clap of thunder suddenly rumbled from the sky!
As if the heavenly laws were protesting!
Zhong Wu laughed maniacally: "Little Chen Nan, your words have already displeased the Heavenly Dao Daddy. If you dare to injure me again, Heavenly Dao Daddy will not let you go. He will instantly obliterate your soul, and you will never be reborn!"
A cold smile played on Chen Nan's lips: "Ask the Heavenly Dao grandson if he dares to strike me?"
He believed he hadn't violated his oath!
Therefore, he had no fear of the heavenly laws!
"You, you, you... You are audacious, to call Heavenly Dao Daddy 'grandson'?" Zhong Wu's face turned green with anger, his eyes filled with coldness!
If Chen Nan called Heavenly Dao Daddy 'grandson', then what should he call him?
Chen Nan looked up at the sky: "Our score is not settled yet. One day, I will trample you under my feet!"
Boom!
A bolt of heavenly lightning struck Zhong Wu without warning!
It left him charred and sent him flying for thousands of meters!
???
???
???
At this moment!
Everyone wore expressions of shock!
What was going on?
Clearly, Chen Nan was disrespecting you and provoking you in every way!
But why did you strike Zhong Wu?
Zhong Wu called you Daddy!
While Chen Nan called you grandson!
Could it be that a father hitting his son was justified?
Could it be that even you were a bully who picked on the weak?
This was too damn brutal!!!
"Why is this happening?"
Zhong Wu was stunned, unable to accept being struck by lightning even after groveling to Heavenly Dao Daddy!
Just then!
Xue Yun appeared before him like a ghost, his long sword sweeping out and cutting him in half at the waist!
Normally, being cut in half wouldn't be fatal for a Golden Core stage expert!
But if the vital Golden Core was damaged, death would be instantaneous!
Zhong Wu's tragic death instantly reversed the tide of the battlefield. Although the remaining five Heavenly King-level experts fought bravely, they had already lost in terms of momentum!
------
Half an hour later!
The battle ceased!
Although Xue Yun and the others emerged victorious, they paid a considerable price!
More than four hundred people were killed or wounded!
Even the five of them were injured!
Fortunately, they had successfully annihilated the enemy!
After the battle!
Chen Nan rewarded those who had performed well!
Each of the five peak Golden Core stage cultivators received five thousand spirit stones, while others received five hundred each!
Although they paid a heavy price in this battle, those who survived gained significant opportunities!
After all, they received many magical artifacts and spirit artifacts!
Frankly speaking!
The more than two hundred people who survived under Chen Nan's command saw a significant improvement in both their strength and equipment!
It was like a piece of ore that had been refined!
Chen Nan said: "From now on, you will live in Jizhou. This is my home, protect its safety!"
"Master, why don't you give us a name?" Ge Deng asked!
Liu Yidao also said: "Yes, yes, although the five of us had our own forces before, now, we are one family!"
Sword Demon suddenly said: "The master's surname is Chen, why don't we call ourselves the Chen Family Army?"
It was evident that Sword Demon wanted to flatter Chen Nan!
The others nodded repeatedly!
Thinking this was a good name!
Unexpectedly, Chen Nan said: "Although this name is down-to-earth, it's not arrogant enough and doesn't reflect our power. In my opinion... let's call it the Sky-Piercing Association!"
The five peak Golden Core stage cultivators all felt their scalps tingle!
Sky-Piercing Association?
This name was too arrogant!
Boom!
Without warning!
Another bolt of heavenly lightning struck down!
However, it landed on the waist-severed Zhong Wu...
Everyone gasped in surprise!
He was already dead, and you're still striking him?
But...
Why didn't you strike Chen Nan?
The crowd was curious, but they dared not say anything more!
Chen Nan spoke, saying: "Go back and cultivate well. You guys strive to reach the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible, and then I'll know how strong I am!"
Xue Yun and the others fell silent!
If you wanted us to break through just to test how strong you are!
Then we'd rather never break through!
Although they all knew that their strength would increase dramatically after transforming their Golden Core into a Nascent Soul, for some reason, they all had a premonition!
Even if they truly reached the Nascent Soul stage, they feared they wouldn't be able to defeat Chen Nan!
Because there were too many strange things about him!
Afterward, Chen Nan landed before Nangong Wan's solitary grave, pulled out the weeds, and said softly, "Wan'er, I'm going to Kunlun Mountain. I'll visit you again after some time!"
My parents and two younger sisters followed Jia Xiu into the Ninth Minor World of Kunlun Mountain. By rough calculation, more than half a year had passed!
With no news for such a long time, he didn't know their current situation!
Moreover, the crisis in the mortal world had now been resolved. If possible, he hoped to bring his parents and two younger sisters back to live in the mortal world!
After all, a minor world was not the mortal world, and they certainly wouldn't be able to adapt to life there!
However!
Before going to Kunlun Mountain, he had to go to the capital!
He had obtained so many spirit stones this time, he had to give some to the Guardians!
It could also be considered a contribution to the country!
But just as he was flying towards the capital on his sword, a tragic cry for help from Xue Yun echoed in his mind: "Master, hurry and save us..."
