"I..."

Chen Nan didn't expect things to turn out this way.

He just wanted to protect Gongsun Yudie, after all, she was pregnant and couldn't suffer the slightest harm. But unexpectedly, in his haste, he struck too hard and injured Hua Xian'er.

"Now that it's come to this, you needn't say more."

The disappointment in Hua Xian'er's eyes gradually turned into indifference as she pointed her magic wand at Chen Nan: "You and I were already enemies, and it's only natural for you to help the Sky Sword Sect against me. The debt of saving my life in the Ghost Realm has long been repaid. From now on, our past relationship is severed; only the enmity of you killing my father and brother remains!"

What should have been a simple matter, Chen Nan hadn't expected it to evolve like this. Not only was he unable to resolve her feud with the Sky Sword Sect, but even his relationship with her had become precarious.

Shaking his head, Chen Nan said, "I won't be your enemy. Can't you not do this?"

"Telling me not to do this, haven't you thought about how you treated me!"

Hua Xian'er looked down at her right shoulder, where Chen Nan had struck just now, then pointed to the ground below and said, "Back then, right here, I watched as my father and brother died at your hands, Chen Nan. My hatred for you now is far deeper than for the Sky Sword Sect!"

Chen Nan mused for a moment and said, "All this is what I owe you. In the Ghost Realm last time, I said no matter if you seek vengeance against me or not, I vow never to hurt you."

"Never hurt me? Then what do you call that punch just now?" Hua Xian'er sneered.

"Earlier, I acted in haste and lost control."

Looking at her, Chen Nan raised his hand and struck his own chest. Instantly, a sweetness rose in his throat, and a large mouthful of blood spewed out.

Gongsun Yudie, upon seeing this, rushed over and grabbed Chen Nan's hand, chiding, "You fool, what are you doing, stop it!"

Hua Xian'er frowned, with a slight wavering in her indifferent gaze.

Chen Nan pulled Gongsun Yudie behind him and looked at Hua Xian'er saying, "If you still feel unsettled, you can take action personally."

"You!"

Hua Xian'er felt a twinge in her heart.

Not because of Chen Nan's injury, but because this person she wanted to kill but couldn't bear to, didn't understand her feelings at all.

In her heart, Hua Xian'er thought, whether it was the vengeance for her father or the strike just now, if she truly wanted revenge, why wait until now?

Chen Nan, no words of yours could be more hurtful than that!

Thinking this, Hua Xian'er felt her eyes moistening, but she quickly dried them with her Fire Magic Power. Pointing at Chen Nan, she said, "Either fight me, or release my grandfather."

Chen Nan looked towards Sect Leader Fang Jingshan.

After a moment of hesitation, Fang Jingshan said to two disciples beside him, "Go bring Hua Kuangdao out."

The two disciples accepted the order and left.

Five minutes later, Hua Kuangdao, shackled hand and foot, was brought out by those two disciples. Especially shocking were the two large iron hooks piercing through his shoulders, penetrating his scapula.

Chen Nan's face changed, and he looked at Fang Jingshan with some anger, "Sect Leader Fang, what's going on here!?"

When he had captured Hua Kuangdao, considering that he owed Hua Xian'er too much, he had the Sky Sword Sect imprison him temporarily but not mistreat him in life.

But he never expected the Sky Sword Sect to pierce through his scapula!

For a martial artist, the scapula is the key to arm movement. Piercing it is as crippling as crippling the hands, an extremely cruel act.

Fang Jingshan lowered his head, not knowing how to respond, as they hadn't followed Chen Nan's instructions.

"Grandfather!"

Hua Xian'er, traversing space, appeared before Hua Kuangdao. Her two bursts of Magic Power sent the two Sky Sword Sect disciples flying. Then, Gold Magic broke all the chains and hooks on him, and she couldn't help but cry as she held him: "Grandfather, how do you feel? Does it still hurt?"

With great effort, Hua Kuangdao raised a hand, resting it on his granddaughter's back: "Xian'er, you're truly my good granddaughter. To think your Cultivation has become so strong. Destroy all those Sky Sword Sect scoundrels, avenge your father and all the disciples!"

Touching the wounds on his shoulders, tears rolled down Hua Xian'er's cheeks.

She turned slightly, glaring coldly at Chen Nan.

A few days ago by the Ningjiang River, she clearly remembered Chen Nan saying her grandfather was merely under house arrest by the Sky Sword Sect, well-fed and well-treated. Yet it turned out this 'well-fed and well-treated' meant the torture of pierced scapula.

"I truly never thought it would turn out like this."

Chen Nan deeply regretted it. Had he known, he wouldn't have handed Hua Kuangdao to the Sky Sword Sect at all.

"It's you!"

Hua Kuangdao recognized Chen Nan at once.

"Senior Hua, I'm sorry." Chen Nan lowered his head, feeling truly ashamed to face Hua Xian'er.

"If apologies were useful, the world wouldn't know the word revenge!" Hua Xian'er, both angry and furious, looked at her grandfather's pierced scapula and asked, "Grandfather, who did this?"

With trembling hands, Hua Kuangdao slowly raised his arm.

He pointed to the Law Enforcement Elder of the Sky Sword Sect and said, "It was him, the old scoundrel Mo Jingyang."

Hua Xian'er's entire body surged with Magic Power, her cold gaze filled with endless killing intent. She fixated on Mo Jingyang and coldly declared, "Old scoundrel, prepare to die!"

As her words fell, she waved her magic wand—

Void Split!

Space Magic was unleashed, and the Void around Mo Jingyang twisted instantly, chaotic Space Power erupted. With a "puff," his entire being was obliterated by Void Power, leaving only a mist of blood settling in the air, without even time for a scream.

The wizard's long-range attack was swifter than a cultivator's. Although tens of meters away, no one could stop it, not even Chen Nan.

"Junior Brother!"

"Senior Brother!"

Fang Jingshan and the elders shouted in vain.

"Hua Xian'er, you're being insufferable!" Fang Jingshan bellowed, "No matter what, my Sky Sword Sect will not spare you today. Disciples, set up the Array, capture this Evil Woman with me!"

Hua Xian'er scanned the crowd, her killing intent undisguised: "No matter what, even if the Emperor descends from Heaven, nothing can stop me from leveling your Sky Sword Sect today!"

"You demon girl, don't be arrogant, disciples, kill with me!"

With a loud shout, Fang Jingshan transformed into a Liu Guang rushing toward Hua Xian'er. His body thinned out in the air and eventually turned into a Giant Sword slashing down at Hua Xian'er.

The Body Sword Formation's power wasn't weak, as Chen Nan had experienced on Sky Sword Mountain.

But with Fang Jingshan's current Cultivation, he was far from being Hua Xian'er's match.

"Die!"

Hua Xian'er swept her magic wand, and a massive wave of fire surged towards the Sky Sword Sect members.

This was an area attack; with her power alone against dozens present, it wasn't ignorance, but sheer overwhelming strength that allowed her such audacity.
