At this moment!
Everyone looked down the mountain in unison.
They all felt the aura of a Foundation Establishment stage expert rapidly approaching!
When Ye Ce appeared.
Nangong He's eyes widened in disbelief. He roared, "Damn it, why are you back? Didn't you forget what I said? *Waah*..."
He was so enraged that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Chen Nan's face was grim.
The killing intent in his heart boiled infinitely!
The scene before him was too tragic!
There were corpses everywhere!
Familiar faces were everywhere!
There was the top prodigy of Fire Cloud Cave, Shi Haotian, who had threatened to teach him a lesson if he made Nangong Wan unhappy!
There was also Elder Wu, who treated him as his own son and wished for him to become the sect leader's son-in-law!
However.
He never expected that the next time they met after their last farewell, they would be cold corpses!
Blood had formed a river.
It felt sticky underfoot.
The pungent smell of blood created an illusion.
As if they had arrived in hell!
And the cause of all this was two mid-stage Foundation Establishment experts!
His eyes turned crimson, and he said to Nangong He, "I'm sorry, Sect Leader, I misspoke, but I cannot stand by and watch Fire Cloud Cave suffer such a disaster!"
"I owe Wan'er the truth!"
"You... you shouldn't have come back!"
Nangong He sighed.
His daughter's meridians were shattered, and she was dying. Reading Books
It would have been better if she had left with hope and love!
"Let her go!"
Chen Nan looked at True Person Li Yuan and uttered cold words.
"You want to get in another two rounds while the iron is hot? If that's the case, I'll grant your wish!" True Person Li Yuan sent Nangong Wan flying with a palm strike.
Chen Nan leaped forward and caught the girl in his arms.
Her condition was dire; she had only a breath left.
However.
The smile on her face was radiant.
She exuded a happy smile.
Her long wait was not in vain.
Because the man she waited for had returned!
"Ye Ce, it seems we can't have our wedding..." the woman said, weakly raising her hand to gently caress the man she had longed for.
"But to die in your arms, I am very happy."
"Don't speak, don't speak yet, listen to me, okay?" Chen Nan wept, controlling his internal true qi and sending it into her body, attempting to repair her damaged meridians.
But.
His true qi entered her body like a stone sinking into the sea, causing no reaction at all.
Nangong Wan smiled, "Say... I'm listening..."
Chen Nan's tears burst forth. He choked back his sobs and said loudly, "I'm sorry, I lied to you. My real name is not Ye Ce, and I'm not like this now."
"My name is Chen Nan, and I came to Fire Cloud Cave only to kill Jiang Ye."
"However, my feelings for you are real."
Nangong Wan's smile grew even brighter, "If you... didn't have any... feelings for me... why would you come back? Can I see what you really look like? I... I'll find you in my next life..."
Chen Nan sobbed uncontrollably and immediately reverted to his original appearance.
Nangong Wan gazed at him dazedly, "If you didn't cry, you would definitely be very handsome..."
Chen Nan quickly wiped away his tears and forced a smile.
"I'll remember you... If there's a next life... please don't reject a girl eighteen years younger than you..." With a blissful expression, she closed her eyes, appearing to have fallen asleep.
"No!"
"No!"
"Eighteen years is too long!"
"I can't wait that long!"
"You can't die!"
"I want you to stay by my side forever!"
Chen Nan held her tightly and let out a deafening roar to the heavens.
He had thought he could save Nangong Wan.
But he never imagined she would die in his arms!
This blow was exceptionally severe for him.
It was unbearable!
True Person Li Yuan sighed from the side, "What a deeply moving love story! I'm almost moved to tears!"
Chen Nan looked up, his eyes bloodshot, and a terrifying killing intent erupted from his entire body, "The two of you must die!"
True Person Nanyang sneered, "Even the eight Foundation Establishment experts of Fire Cloud Cave couldn't harm us, and you, a mere early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, actually think you can kill us?"
"Truly overestimating yourself!"
Chen Nan, holding Nangong Wan, handed her over to Nangong He. Then, he turned to True Person Nanyang and True Person Li Yuan, his killing intent undisguised!
"Today, I will use your two heads to mourn all the disciples of Fire Cloud Cave and the heroic spirit of Wan'er!"
As he finished speaking, he clenched his right hand in the air.
Countless snowflakes melted into water, which, under his control, transformed into sharp water swords.
*Swish, swish, swish!*
The water swords slashed down continuously, emitting sharp whistling sounds!
After entering the Foundation Establishment stage, Chen Nan's comprehension of the Water Control Art deepened, and its power increased.
But unfortunately.
His opponents were two peak mid-stage Foundation Establishment experts!
"Your strength is not enough to kill us," True Person Nanyang said with a playful expression. He formed a hand seal, and a sword over ten meters long materialized in the air.
This long sword was condensed from water vapor, but it appeared exceptionally sharp.
"Die!"
With a roar, True Person Nanyang controlled the sword and slashed directly at Chen Nan.
*Whoosh!*
The void was torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound!
Chen Nan formed a hand seal, and a giant mystical turtle enveloped him.
He resolutely blocked the opponent's fatal blow.
At the same time.
He cast the Gravity Art to cover the two of them.
Then, a water dragon appeared out of thin air and crushed towards True Person Nanyang.
"To be able to wield the Water Control Art to this extent, your strength is indeed formidable," True Person Nanyang retreated, "But ants are still ants. With just this, you are not enough to kill me!"
He extended a palm.
*Whoosh!*
The wind howled, and a giant palm, tens of meters tall, appeared out of nowhere. It grabbed the water dragon by the neck. With a squeeze, the water dragon dissipated into nothingness!
"Young man, stop resisting futilely. There's no point. No weakling can defeat a stronger cultivator in terms of spells!"
True Person Nanyang said with a playful smile, "Your beloved is already dead. She must be lonely on the road to the afterlife. Don't you want to accompany her?"
"Since spells cannot defeat you, then I will end you with a sword!"
Chen Nan summoned his peach wood sword, used the Spatial Folding technique, and combined it with the Golden Serpent Sword Art to launch his strongest attack.
"Fellow Daoist Nanyang, do not be careless. This child's movement technique is profound," True Person Li Yuan's expression turned solemn.
All martial arts prioritize speed.
Even though they were peak fourth-level Foundation Establishment cultivators, they did not dare to underestimate such an opponent.
"A mere ant, can it possibly injure me?" True Person Nanyang's eyes were arrogant as he struck towards Chen Nan.
This blow was incredibly domineering.
It was utterly destructive!
In an instant, it pierced through Chen Nan's chest.
True Person Nanyang rejoiced, but then he discovered it was merely an afterimage left by Chen Nan!
At this moment.
Chen Nan's voice came from behind him, "Die for me!"
Before he could react.
*Thwack!*
The sword pierced his chest, splashing a mist of blood!
