The two figures attacked rapidly in the rainy night.
Despite the ground being covered in puddles, they moved across the water without causing the slightest ripple.
"With my current abilities, I can't yet tread on accumulated water like this."
"If I'm not mistaken, these two are at the ninth level of the Caiyin realm, close to the Juhun realm."
Chen Nan's expression turned grim.
But.
His eyes were filled with burning intensity and fighting spirit. Although his cultivation was only at the fifth level of Caiyin, his physical body was far stronger than that of ordinary cultivators. And most importantly, he had mastered the law of space. While the law of space could only cover a radius of five hundred meters, it was more than enough to deal with two peak Caiyin realm experts. Of course, this was not to say the law of space itself was incredibly powerful. It depended on who wielded it. Chen Nan's mastery of the laws was far beyond that of ordinary people. After all, he was the Lord of the Immortal Realm, having reached the pinnacle of his application of rules.
"I'll use these two to test my current strength!" Chen Nan stood up, opened the door, and appeared in the courtyard.
Dense raindrops fell from the sky, but an invisible energy field surrounded him, repelling the water. He gazed into the darkness, his hand behind his back, and spoke indifferently with a high-class demeanor, "Since you're here, show yourselves!"
The next second.
Two figures clad in straw capes and wearing conical hats appeared before Chen Nan. Each held a long sword, exuding a murderous aura. Their intentions were hostile.
A middle-aged man with half his face covered in a green birthmark grinned, "I didn't expect you, a mere constable, to sense our presence!"
Chen Nan: "You must have stumbled in here by mistake?"
The other middle-aged man asked, "What do you mean?"
Chen Nan: "This is a vital area of the county yamen. I am a constable of the yamen. If you kill a constable in this vital area, it is a grave offense, punishable by the extermination of nine generations of your family! If you two truly entered by mistake, I can let you leave. Otherwise, you will regret coming here."
The middle-aged man with the birthmark sneered, "No, no, no, we didn't stumble in here by mistake. We came specifically to kill you. That's right, someone in the martial world has offered a bounty of one hundred thousand taels of silver for your head, Constable Chen. We came for that hundred thousand taels of silver."
Chen Nan was enraged, "Who has such a deep-seated hatred for me to place a bounty of one hundred thousand taels of silver on my head? Am I that cheap? This is simply too much!"
The other middle-aged man frowned, "Are you feeling unwell? If people had no enmity with you, why would they offer one hundred thousand taels of silver to have you killed?"
The middle-aged man with the birthmark roared, "Second brother, stop talking nonsense with him and cut off his head."
"Presumptuous!"
Accompanied by an angry roar, Wu Jiu, with several brothers wearing long sabers at their waists, rushed over with murderous intent. "You disregard the law and dare to commit murder in the county yamen?" "Do you think we are merely decorations?"
One of the middle-aged men openly displayed his disdain, sneering, "With you ants, you're hardly our match."
Wu Jiu's expression remained unchanged, "Even if we are not your match, we will absolutely not let you commit murder in the county yamen." As he spoke, he drew the long saber at his waist with a clang.
"Captain Wu, you all retreat first," Chen Nan said. "They are right; you are not their match. As for these two, leave them to me." "Oh, lend me your saber." His own saber was inside the house.
Wu Jiu hesitated for a moment before tossing his saber to Chen Nan. Although he had initially thought Chen Nan, newly appointed as a constable, was a weak young master from a wealthy family, the reality proved otherwise. This guy was tough. That is, his strength was tough.
Chen Nan, holding the long saber, looked at the two middle-aged men. "Which of you two will go first?"
"Forget it!"
"Come on together!"
"How arrogant!" the birthmark man snorted. "With you, a mere ant at the fifth level of Caiyin, you dare to suggest we both attack you?" "Are you worthy?"
The middle-aged man beside him said, "Big brother, I'll deal with him!"
As the words fell, he moved like a phantom, soaring into the sky. The long sword in his hand erupted with powerful sword energy, executing a move like "Splitting the Mountain" as he struck down at Chen Nan's head.
At the critical moment, Chen Nan raised his saber to block. The instant the saber and sword collided, a crisp clang resounded. Terrifying energy rapidly spread outwards, even momentarily stopping the falling rain.
"What?"
The middle-aged man was shocked. He had expected to heavily injure Chen Nan with a single blow, but he never imagined that Chen Nan could block his attack. He hadn't even budged.
"Is that all?" A dismissive smile played on Chen Nan's lips. He then channeled Yin energy into the long saber, and as sword energy surged, he forced the middle-aged man back several meters.
"Boss, this guy is strange and very strong." The middle-aged man's eyes were filled with apprehension. Chen Nan had blocked his attack without using Yin energy, indicating his physical body was terrifyingly strong.
The birthmark man scoffed, "How strong can a mere ant at the fifth level of Caiyin be?"
"Damn it, you curse when you can't win?" Chen Nan roared, swinging his long saber at the opponent. His physical body was indeed very strong, but his speed was inferior to theirs. As a result, no matter how he attacked, he couldn't land a blow.
The birthmark man laughed heartily, "Hahaha, an ant is still an ant. Even if your strength is not bad, your speed is too slow!" "The supreme martial art is 'invincible with speed.' We have an absolute advantage in speed." "With this alone, we can crush you!"
As he finished speaking, he held his long sword and instantly appeared behind Chen Nan. The sharp sword lunged silently towards his back!
"Be careful!"
Wu Jiu and the others' faces instantly changed. At this critical juncture, Chen Nan, to everyone's astonishment, vanished into thin air.
"Teleportation?" The two ninth-level Caiyin realm experts felt their scalps tingle. Teleportation was a technique exclusive to experts in the Earth Ghost realm. They had never imagined that a mere cultivator at the Caiyin realm could master such a divine ability.
"Now, am I faster than you?" A soft, sinuous voice rang out. Just as the birthmark man turned around, a flash of saber light met him head-on.
"Not good!" he cried out, instinctively raising his sword to block.
Boom!
With a dull thud, Chen Nan's long saber struck his sword. Terrifying energy surged from the blade to his arm, causing the flesh and blood to explode.
"How can this be?" The birthmark man, as if seeing a ghost, decisively raised his left hand, turning it into a blade. He neatly severed his right arm at the shoulder. Blood spurted! He let out a heart-wrenching scream, "Second brother, you were right, this guy is very strong! Run!"
The two were terrified! They immediately leaped onto the rooftop and fled into the distance.
Chen Nan sneered, "You come when you please, and you leave when you please? Do you think the county yamen is a marketplace?" As he spoke, he activated the law of space! He instantly vanished from his spot...
