“Do you think this can kill me?”
Jiang Ye roared.
His figure suddenly vanished.
The next moment, he appeared before Chen Nan, his fist the size of a sandbag smashing directly towards Chen Nan’s chest.
*Bang!*
The protective amulet was activated, and Chen Nan was instantly sent flying back more than ten meters.
Facing a peak Fifth Layer Qi Refining cultivator, he had no power to fight back.
Unless he used talismans for ranged attacks, close combat was tantamount to seeking death.
Even though the protective amulet had just withstood Jiang Ye’s attack, the impact still made his blood churn, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.
The two were separated by three major realms. Even with Chen Nan’s heaven-sent talent, his current cultivation was insufficient to defeat the opponent.
Moreover, the opponent’s speed was incredible, as if the wind was beneath his feet, constantly staying close to him.
“Die!”
Jiang Ye swung his fist again, smashing Chen Nan away and shattering his protective amulet.
The next second.
He reappeared before Chen Nan, raising his fist to strike!
“Die!”
Chen Nan roared.
The protective amulets he had refined upon arrival were all depleted. This time, he had to face the opponent’s attack head-on!
“Face me head-on? Are you my opponent?”
Jiang Ye was full of confidence, his terrifying fist tearing through the air, producing a sharp whistling sound.
Chen Nan waved his hand, and the Burning Heaven Furnace appeared before him.
The Burning Heaven Furnace, emitting a faint golden light, was exceptionally striking under the night sky.
This caused even Jiang Ye to show a look of shock.
He sensed a terrifying aura and wanted to retract his hand, but it was too late.
*Dong!*
A loud, echoing impact suddenly rang out.
Jiang Ye cried out in pain and retreated more than ten steps.
At this moment.
His right fist was already mangled, revealing the skeletal bones.
Looking at Chen Nan, he was completely unharmed.
The Burning Heaven Furnace hovered above his head.
It emanated a brilliant glow.
Making him look like an immortal descending to the mortal realm.
“A spiritual artifact? Is that a spiritual artifact?” Jiang Ye’s eyes were filled with shock.
Chen Nan shrugged his shoulders with an undeniable smile, grinning, “Yes, this is the Three-legged Eight-Horned Golden Crow Furnace that your Jiang family and I exchanged for.”
“Even with a spiritual artifact, you will die!”
Jiang Ye formed hand seals, and the blood energy within him erupted, instantly raising his cultivation to the peak of the Sixth Layer Qi Refining.
He used a blood-burning secret technique to temporarily boost his cultivation.
Although it caused great harm to his body, as long as he could kill Chen Nan and reclaim this spiritual artifact, it was all worth it.
After all, magical artifacts themselves were rare, let alone spiritual artifacts.
This item alone was enough to stir up a bloody storm in the cultivation world!
“You think boosting your cultivation can kill me?”
Chen Nan formed hand seals and controlled the Burning Heaven Furnace to smash towards Jiang Ye!
Jiang Ye raised his hand to suppress it, his dense true qi enveloping his right hand.
*Dong dong dong dong!*
Muffled collisions resounded incessantly, like muffled thunder, deafening.
For a time, the two fought to a standstill, evenly matched.
“To entangle with me for so long with only a Second Layer Qi Refining cultivation, your talent is indeed terrifying. However, you are at the end of your rope, aren’t you?”
Jiang Ye’s aura grew stronger and stronger. “Chen Nan, you are about to be defeated. After you are defeated, I will make you watch helplessly as your family is killed by me!”
Chen Nan grinned, “Oh? Is that so? Where are my family?”
Jiang Ye’s expression changed drastically. “Damn it! You actually had someone secretly rescue your family?”
“Otherwise? Why would I waste so much time with you?” Chen Nan’s body shook, and his eyes turned sharp.
At this moment.
He could also go all out!
“Die for me!”
Chen Nan roared, controlling the Burning Heaven Furnace to transform into a dark golden light, smashing at Jiang Ye from all directions.
Jiang Ye remained unmoving, his true qi forming a light barrier that enveloped his surroundings, blocking the Burning Heaven Furnace’s attack.
Even though the Burning Heaven Furnace was a spiritual artifact, it could not break through his protective true qi.
“Chen Nan, you are too weak. With your cultivation, you cannot unleash the true power of this spiritual artifact!” Jiang Ye walked towards Chen Nan, disdain in his eyes.
“Cultivation too weak?” Chen Nan laughed. “How about I increase it a bit?”
As he spoke.
He silently chanted the Yin Absorption Art.
The yin energy in the heavens and earth was summoned, surging into Chen Nan’s body!
Late Second Layer Qi Refining!
Peak Second Layer Qi Refining!
Great Perfection Second Layer Qi Refining!
Early Third Layer Qi Refining!
Mid Third Layer Qi Refining!
Late Third Layer Qi Refining!
Peak Third Layer Qi Refining!
Great Perfection Third Layer Qi Refining!
His cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.
As if riding a rocket!
Under Jiang Ye’s horrified gaze, he directly entered the early Fifth Layer Qi Refining before stopping.
At this moment, he was full of vigor, his eyes filled with divine might. Every movement seemed capable of stirring the forces of heaven and earth.
“Who exactly are you?”
Jiang Ye was uneasy. He had initially thought Chen Nan had used a secret technique to temporarily boost his cultivation.
But he never expected that he had truly entered the early Fifth Layer Qi Refining.
“Your young master is the one who will kill you!”
With his strength increased, Chen Nan’s control became even more powerful.
He casually waved his hand, and the Burning Heaven Furnace fiercely smashed towards Jiang Ye!
Jiang Ye no longer dared to underestimate Chen Nan, raising his hand to counter the blow.
But at this moment.
The Burning Heaven Furnace instantly returned to its previous size!
*Dong!*
As Jiang Ye struck with his palm, a clear sound reverberated through the night sky.
Jiang Ye’s right palm instantly fractured, and his entire arm lost its ability to move!
“Jiang, you can die now!”
Chen Nan, holding a wooden sword magical artifact, controlled the Burning Heaven Furnace while charging at Jiang Ye.
“Chen Nan, I will not let you off. One day, I will kill you myself!” Jiang Ye roared. He formed hand seals with one hand, and a yellow earthy light burst from his embrace.
Then, his entire body instantly disappeared from Chen Nan’s sight.
Chen Nan stopped, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.
“Young Master, Jiang Ye must have used a teleportation talisman. Such a talisman can instantly move a person more than ten miles away, and it is a winning treasure for escaping!”
Guan Qing flew over in the night sky. He had just secretly rescued Chen Nan’s parents and sent them to a safe area.
Chen Nan understood, “The methods of cultivators are truly unfathomable.”
Guan Qing nodded, “Therefore, many cultivators are willing to gather together, exchange experiences, and trade Taoist magic.”
“It’s a pity he escaped!”
A hint of ferocity flashed in Chen Nan’s eyes.
Jiang Ye was a formidable opponent. If this person remained alive, it would be like a thorn in his throat.
No one knew when he would suddenly appear. If he managed to capture Chen Nan’s family again, he would surely kill them directly.
There was another point.
This person knew that he possessed a spiritual artifact. Once this information was leaked, he would undoubtedly become the public enemy of the cultivation world.
At that time, even with his exceptional talent, he would be unable to withstand the pursuit and encirclement of cultivators from the cultivation world!
Thinking of this, he looked at Guan Qing, “Old Guan, do you know which cave dwelling Jiang Ye cultivates in on Mount Zhongnan?”
Guan Qing gasped, “Young Master, you’re not thinking of going to Mount Zhongnan to kill Jiang Ye, are you?”
