Hua Zun, enraged, roared, "Kill him!"
"Kill!"
Despite one person being slain!
However, the Thirty-Six Heavenly Stars were all elite fighters trained by Hua Zun!
Even knowing Chen Nan's formidable prowess, they faced death with resolve!
"Scram!"
Chen Nan wielded the Sky Burning Furnace, showing no semblance of technique.
Anyone who approached!
Would be sent flying!
Their armor was indeed impenetrable!
But it could not withstand this terrifying force!
The dreadful impact directly shattered the internal organs of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Stars!
In layman's terms, Chen Nan's current fighting style was akin to "striking through the mountain to hit the cow"!
In less than five minutes!
All Thirty-Six Heavenly Stars lay on the ground!
Blood seeped through the gaps in their armor, dyeing the earth beneath them red, a truly gruesome sight!
His display of rampant slaughter stunned everyone!
Could humans truly be this fierce?
Mind you, those were the Thirty-Six Heavenly Stars!
Since their inception, they had never suffered a single defeat!
Nor had any of them ever died!
And now!
They were all wiped out by Chen Nan!
Even witnessing it firsthand, they felt utterly astonished, as if seeing a miracle!
They simply couldn't believe what they were seeing!
Chen Nan consumed a Spiritual Flood Dragon Pill, and his blood energy instantly returned to its peak state!
He gripped the Sky Burning Furnace in one hand, appearing like an invincible general guarding a crucial pass, and declared loudly, "You want the spiritual artifact in my hand, don't you? If you want it, come and seize it!"
At this moment.
A white-robed elder from afar spoke, "Sect Leader Senior Brother, in my opinion..."
Before he could finish, Hua Zun shot him a chilling glare, "Do you intend to teach me how to act?"
"I..." The white-robed elder was speechless.
He simply didn't want Hua Zun to make an enemy of Chen Nan.
Even though this young man was only at the peak of the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, he was virtually invincible among his peers!
Rather than making an enemy of him over Fan Ce and the warm jade, it would be better to resolve the conflict peacefully!
However!
Sect Leader Senior Brother was obstinate and refused to listen to advice!
"Chen Nan, do you actually believe that by killing the Thirty-Six Heavenly Stars, you have defeated my Huashan Sword Sect?" Hua Zun's killing intent was palpable.
Both the Thirty-Six Heavenly Stars and the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends were the culmination of his over a hundred years of effort!
They were his masterpieces!
Now that they had been successively eliminated by Chen Nan, his fury was already immense!
Chen Nan replied, "Hand over Fan Ce and that warm jade, and I will descend the mountain right now!"
Hua Zun retorted angrily, "If you descend the mountain now, where will the prestige of my Huashan Sword Sect lie?"
With that, he waved his right hand.
He gave an order to the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Huashan Sword Sect, "Attack together, and no matter what, you must kill him!"
"This..."
"Even the Thirty-Six Heavenly Stars died by his hand, how can we possibly win?"
The disciples of the Huashan Sword Sect's eyes were filled with apprehension. Chen Nan was no mere grunt; even if they charged, they would only be cannon fodder!
Hua Zun's eyes were cold, "Today, I will wear him down. I want to see how many elixirs he has to replenish his true qi!"
"Sect Leader, do you intend for us to be cannon fodder?" a disciple exclaimed.
*Whoosh!*
Hua Zun immediately used a spiritual artifact, severing the head of that disciple, "This is the consequence of defiance!"
Witnessing this scene.
Everyone was profoundly moved!
The disciples of the Huashan Sword Sect, suppressing their fear, drew their swords and charged towards Chen Nan!
Chen Nan cast his Gravity Technique, causing all the disciples who charged at him to collapse to the ground, unable to move.
His eyes were cold and filled with fury, "Hua Zun, you are the Sect Leader of the Huashan Sword Sect, how can you stand by and watch these disciples die before your eyes?"
Hua Zun retorted, "Their mission is to dedicate themselves wholeheartedly to the sect, to die without regret. Isn't this precisely the time for them to demonstrate the value of their lives?"
Chen Nan angrily asked, "Shouldn't you, as the Sect Leader, be protecting your disciples?"
Hua Zun questioned, "If they cannot even perform the tasks I assign them, why should I protect them?"
Chen Nan was left speechless.
He had never imagined that the Sect Leader of the esteemed Huashan Sword Sect would be such a selfish and self-serving individual!
Upon closer reflection, it made sense!
The Huashan Sword Sect had committed too many wicked deeds over the years!
Was this not a classic case of "the rotten beam at the top causes decay below"?
"You may descend the mountain. I do not kill the innocent!" Chen Nan sighed inwardly.
Ultimately, he could not bring himself to kill these people!
Hua Zun let out a hearty laugh, "When they became disciples of the Huashan Sword Sect, their personal information was recorded. If they fall today, I will provide some compensation to their families."
"But if they desert, not only will they pay a heavy price."
"Even their families will be implicated!"
"So, ask them, do they dare to desert?"
"Young Master Chen, please grant me a quick end!"
A cultivator at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, filled with despair, raised his sword and thrust it at Chen Nan!
He did not fear death!
He simply did not want to implicate his family!
Although he harbored resentment!
He could not change the situation today!
"My apologies, brother!"
Chen Nan struck him down with a palm strike.
Those affected by the Gravity Technique also struggled to their feet and attacked Chen Nan!
Chen Nan's gaze turned icy!
These people did not deserve to die!
But they were forced to die by Hua Zun!
"Hua Zun, die!"
His hair bristled with rage, and his Shadowless Sword transformed into a streak of rainbow light, slashing towards him!
He could not stand by and watch these people march to their deaths!
It was utterly meaningless!
The only thing he could do now was to slay Hua Zun!
But Hua Zun was, after all, a cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment and possessed a spiritual artifact!
He sent Chen Nan's Shadowless Sword flying with a single strike, and like a phantom, appeared behind Chen Nan, his sword silently piercing towards his back!
Chen Nan instinctively used his Earth Evasion Technique, reappearing a hundred meters away next.
At this moment.
His eyes, as he looked at Hua Zun, were filled with solemnity!
The power of a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator was truly terrifying!
His speed was incredibly fast, not even stirring the slightest breeze!
Even with his "Shrink Earth into Inches" technique, he dared not expose himself to the opponent's gaze!
Otherwise, before he could land, he would be ruthlessly eliminated!
"You've finally brought out your spiritual artifacts. These two spiritual artifacts will soon be mine!" Hua Zun openly admitted his greed for the two spiritual artifacts.
"Who said I only have two spiritual artifacts?"
Chen Nan raised his arm, and three more spiritual short swords appeared before him.
Four spiritual artifacts hovered in mid-air, emitting dazzling radiance!
Hua Zun was taken aback, then revealed a greedy smile, "I underestimated you. I truly didn't expect you to possess so many spiritual artifacts. Mine, all of it is mine!"
"If you want them, you'll have to prove your strength!"
Chen Nan formed hand seals, and the four spiritual short swords flew out one after another.
He intended to use his most powerful methods to kill Hua Zun!
If this person did not die, his heart's hatred would not be extinguished!
*Boom, boom, boom, boom!*
In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged over a hundred blows!
Even with four spiritual artifacts, Chen Nan could not inflict even the slightest injury on him.
After all!
The strength of a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator was truly exceptionally terrifying!
He grew weaker with each passing moment, while his opponent grew stronger!
Suddenly!
Hua Zun appeared behind him like a phantom, his sword fiercely stabbing towards Chen Nan.
"Bad!"
A sense of crisis, unprecedented, enveloped Chen Nan!
And at this moment of extreme danger, the Guardian Elder of the Mountain appeared out of thin air, his eyes blazing with cold intensity, "Would you dare to kill someone we favor?"
Hua Zun was furious, "Are you attempting to rebel?"
