Fan Ce's eyes were filled with horror.
Spiritual artifacts!
Let alone ordinary people, even the entire Mount Hua Sword Sect possessed only one.
Now that the opponent wielded a spiritual artifact, how could he not be shocked?
After the shock.
A trace of greed appeared in his eyes.
If he could kill Chen Nan.
Wouldn't he be able to possess this spiritual artifact?
Wouldn't his strength advance by leaps and bounds?
"Die!"
After Chen Nan killed the disciple at the first level of Foundation Establishment with a single sword strike, he set his sights on another young man.
The Shadowless Sword tore through the air.
The young disciple was shocked and instinctively raised his steel sword to block.
But.
It was no match for the Shadowless Sword's attack!
Puff!
The Shadowless Sword sliced through his long sword and pierced his chest...
"Uncle Fan Ce, please avenge us..." he fell to the ground, his breath gone.
Fan Ce revealed a meaningful smile: "Not bad, truly not bad."
"I never dreamed that this trip would not only yield warm jade but also a spiritual artifact!"
"Mine."
"The warm jade is mine!"
"The spiritual artifact in your hand is also mine!"
"All of it is mine!"
In fact, with his ability, he could have saved the second disciple just now.
But.
Why would he do that?
If he did, how could he pocket the warm jade and the spiritual artifact?
"You think you can kill me?" Chen Nan's eyes were ferocious. He cast the Gravity Technique, instantly enveloping the opponent.
But.
He had underestimated the opponent's methods.
The opponent also possessed the Gravity Technique.
And his gravity was even stronger than Chen Nan's!
As a result, his feet felt rooted to the spot, unable to move!
"Die!"
A cold glint flashed in Fan Ce's eyes.
He thrust his long sword towards Chen Nan!
"You think this can kill me?"
Chen Nan formed seals with his hands, and the Shadowless Sword transformed into a blur, slashing at Fan Ce.
Fan Ce was as nimble as a swallow and his swordsmanship was superb.
Although he did not meet the Shadowless Sword head-on with his long sword, the sword energy managed to resist the attack of the Shadowless Sword.
"A mere cultivator at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, I'd like to see how long you can wield your sword!"
"When you are exhausted, that will be your time of death!"
Fan Ce said with a playful smile.
He did not intend to clash head-on with Chen Nan.
After all, this fellow possessed a spiritual artifact, and even his magical artifact could not withstand it.
Chen Nan's face was grim. The opponent was too patient.
If this continued.
When his spiritual energy was depleted, he would surely become a fish on a chopping block, at the mercy of others.
And now.
He could only pretend to be out of spiritual energy.
Only by luring the opponent closer could he smash him to death with the Heaven Burning Furnace!
Thinking of this.
His body trembled slightly.
As if he had been shocked after urinating outdoors in the dead of winter.
"This is the moment!"
Fan Ce's heart leaped with joy.
He used his long sword to strike the Shadowless Sword directly, sending it flying.
At the same time.
He appeared before Chen Nan like a phantom.
The long sword in his hand was filled with murderous intent, locking onto Chen Nan's heart!
The terrifying sword energy even left a gash on his chest!
If this hit, he would surely die on the spot!
"Die!"
Just as Fan Ce thought Chen Nan would be killed by him, he was horrified to discover that Chen Nan produced a golden alchemical furnace from his left hand. The furnace exuded a terrifying power, crushing towards him.
"Holy crap, you actually have two spiritual artifacts?" Fan Ce's eyes were bloodshot, his eyeballs almost popping out.
Boom!
In the end.
The alchemical furnace landed on him.
But it activated his protective charm. Even though he was sent flying, he did not suffer a fatal injury.
"Damn it!"
Chen Nan never expected Fan Ce to be so troublesome.
Even though he wanted to kill the opponent, he had missed his chance now.
After all, for a master of this caliber, if he couldn't kill him in one blow, he had no power to defeat him!
"Fan Ce, I'll leave that warm jade with you for now. Take good care of it for me!"
Chen Nan, full of unwillingness, took out the teleportation talisman that Elder Wu had bestowed upon him in the Fiery Cloud Cave.
He infused it with his true qi, and he instantly disappeared from the cave.
"Damn it!"
Fan Ce was enraged.
Two spiritual artifacts!
Just like that, they had vanished!
He was extremely unwilling and gave chase with all his might.
But.
His speed was no match for the teleportation talisman.
Moreover, the wind howled outside, and even though Chen Nan had left a trace of his aura, it was quickly dispersed by the wind.
He whistled.
A snow eagle flew from a distance and circled overhead.
Fan Ce whispered, "Someone just ran out of this cave. Go and help me find his whereabouts!"
Yo!
The snow eagle let out a high-pitched cry and spread its wings, soaring into the sky.
It took in the scene below.
Then, it spotted Chen Nan and let out a cry, following him from afar in the air!
"Could this snow eagle be from the Mount Hua Sword Sect?"
Chen Nan also noticed the snow eagle following him in the sky.
Although he had teleported a considerable distance earlier, for a strong cultivator at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment or above, more than ten li was nothing.
If it weren't for this snow eagle monitoring him from the air, he could have evaded the pursuit.
But now.
With the snow eagle constantly monitoring his every move, he had no way to escape!
Without further thought, he took out some Qi-replenishing pills to restore his cultivation.
The wound on his chest was not fatal, but it had bled a lot.
Most importantly, he felt a pressure he had never experienced before!
Fan Ce's pursuit made him feel uneasy. If he caught up, he would surely die a miserable death!
"You surnamed Chen, you can't escape. I advise you to hand over those two spiritual artifacts. Perhaps then, I can give you a quick end!"
"Otherwise, when I catch you, I will make you wish you were dead but could not die!"
Fan Ce's voice came from behind.
Chen Nan glanced back. Fan Ce was currently more than ten li away from him.
Even if he could use the "Shrink the Ground into an Inch" technique, he could only keep the distance within about ten li.
Therefore.
To survive.
He had to eliminate the snow eagle in the sky.
However.
The snow eagle's flight altitude was more than a thousand meters above him.
If he didn't have exceptional eyesight, he wouldn't have been able to spot it.
"My Shadowless Sword has a maximum range of five hundred meters. Even with the Shadowless Sword, I can't kill this snow eagle!"
"Therefore, I need to get to higher ground!"
Chen Nan's gaze fell on a mountain peak ahead.
This mountain peak was not high; it was just a small mound in the Kunlun Mountains.
He ran quickly.
No one knew his intentions.
When he appeared on the mountaintop, he moved his mind.
The Shadowless Sword soared into the air, becoming the only splash of color in the vast expanse of heaven and earth!
When a scream echoed from the sky.
When the snow eagle fell from the sky, covered in blood!
Only then did Fan Ce understand why Chen Nan had gone to that mountain. He let out an enraged roar, "You surnamed Chen, even if you kill that snow eagle, I will find you and dismember you!"
"Don't worry, even if you don't come looking for me today, I will take your head!" Chen Nan's eyes were icy cold as he deeply imprinted Fan Ce's appearance in his mind.
Then, he used the "Shrink the Ground into an Inch" technique and disappeared on the other side of the mountain peak.
When Fan Ce appeared on the mountaintop, Chen Nan had already vanished without a trace!
