This left Ji Tonggui, who was about to break through to the Cloud Sea Realm, vaguely suppressed by Chu Nan.
Bang! Crash!
The two exchanged blows, sparking countless sparks.
With a pchhis sound, Ji Tonggui's spear lunged like a dragon, directly piercing Chu Nan's shoulder, but the latter didn't even furrow his brow.
He instead tightened his muscles, fixing the spearhead firmly within, and took the opportunity while Ji Tonggui found it difficult to retract his weapon, to slash out with full force.
"Black and White Sword Technique, White Slaughter!"
Unlike Black Silence, White Slaughter focuses on Light Martial Intent, valuing speed, an ultimate killing move seeking a burst of explosion in an instant.
Though Chu Nan hadn't comprehended Light Martial Intent, the Black and White Guiyuan Sword itself matched this sword technique; thus, its power remained formidable even now.
The radiant white sword blade flashed out, combining extreme speed with such proximity that, even if Ji Tonggui didn't die, he would sustain severe injuries!
"No!"
Seeing the White Slaughter coming, Ji Tonggui felt an endless crisis and, between life and death, roared and twisted the spear tip.
Bang!
Chu Nan's shoulder exploded, exposing flesh and bone, and the spear was instantly freed from its binding.
Though Ji Tonggui freed himself from bondage, it was already too late; White Slaughter was already upon him.
Rip!
White sword qi fell like a galaxy, piercing Ji Tonggui's chest.
Even though he dodged his heart at the moment of being slashed, the sword qi still pierced through his body, nearly tearing apart half of his body.
"Bastard!" Ji Tonggui cursed angrily, despair shown in his eyes.
Just as Chu Nan prepared to slash another sword to end Ji Tonggui's life, his eyes flashed and he quickly dodged.
As soon as he left, a colossal tiger entwined with thunderbolt smashed into Chu Nan's previous position, shattering the light of the White Slaughter Sword into bits of white light.
Ji Tonggui, initially severely injured, narrowly escaped death, his face as pale as paper.
Huo Zhen and Huo Yang walked out slowly, regret evident in their eyes.
The two, seizing the opportunity to act together, assumed they could at least injure Chu Nan, but unexpectedly, he had detected them beforehand.
How could they have known that Chu Nan's soul was comparable to a Cloud Sea Realm martial artist, his spiritual sense continuously probing in all directions, having detected them the moment Huo Zhen and Huo Yang acted?
After Huo Zhen and Huo Yang made their move, they stood together with Ji Tonggui.
Ji Tonggui's half body, nearly torn apart, healed after consuming an elixir, but faint scars remained visible.
The three exchanged a look, understanding each other without words.
Though Chu Nan was only at Divine Illumination Realm Six, his accumulation was exceptional, and wielding an imperial-grade spirit martial made his power nearly overwhelming to others.
Ji Tonggui dared not be reckless anymore and chose to join forces with Huo Zhen and Huo Yang.
Seeing this, Chu Nan remained expressionless, though slightly regretful, as if it weren't for Huo Zhen and Huo Yang's interference, he would have just killed Ji Tonggui!
Consuming an elixir to heal his shoulder wound, Chu Nan's pale complexion improved slightly.
But in truth, this was merely on the surface; the most serious was his Dantian. Just forcibly using White Slaughter further aggravated his Dantian's injuries, and even his Treasure Blood couldn't recover promptly.
He could only ensure the Dantian wouldn't be damaged.
But this affected the speed and potency of Chu Nan's spiritual power operation, and now, with the three joining forces, Chu Nan knew trouble was brewing.
Though the situation was dire, Chu Nan showed no fear.
King Zhao's Seal and Dragon Slaughter Tower both returned to their respective owners' sides, protecting themselves.
Seizing the opportunity, Chu Nan exerted himself to adjust his injuries, preparing for the upcoming fight.
Ji Tonggui, along with the other two, did the same; Chu Nan was tough, possessing sword qi capable of slaying a Cloud Sea Realm, like those of the Black and White Sword Saint, which they had to fear.
Under the protection of King Zhao's Seal, the three silently accumulated power, readying themselves.
Half a cup of tea later, Chu Nan and the three across exchanged a look, as if his mind was connected to Ji Tonggui's, the Dragon Slaughter Tower and King Zhao's Seal collided in midair.
In the air, dragon roars were continuous; Chu Nan performed Desolate Profound Transformation, his momentum increasing!
"Wind Thunder Blade!" The pressure on his Dantian was immense, so Chu Nan, cautious about using the Black and White Sword Technique, didn't exert his full force.
Wind and thunder howled, sword qi transformed into a long rainbow screeching, tearing through the clouds toward Ji Tonggui and the others.
Ji Tonggui and the others' eyes glinted fiercely, and they all leaped forward, each wielding a spirit martial to crush downward.
The trio combined forces, the thunderous strength burst forth, their spiritual power converging to form a seemingly ancient fierce beast from the past.
The beast roared, letting out a thunderous roar, dispersing wind and thunder!
Chu Nan's eyes widened, hastily controlling his sword to slash out, the black and white sword qi sweeping across heaven and earth, landing on the ancient fierce beast.
Crack!
The fierce beast shattered, transforming into a mass of thunder-bolstered blue smoke in midair, knocking Chu Nan back hundreds of steps.
Chu Nan stabilized himself, scale armor beginning to crack, seeping strands of blood.
After all, he was merely at Divine Illumination Realm Six, facing three combined at Divine Illumination Realm Nine; it was extremely tough for Chu Nan to contend.
"Look quickly, Chu Nan is done for!" Huo Yang saw blood seeping from Chu Nan's scale armor, his face immediately showing excitement.
Even Ji Tonggui was full of anticipation, for once Chu Nan was dead, he could collect the Dragon Slaughter Tower.
Huo Zhen said coldly, "Don't give him a chance to retaliate, let's do it again!"
The trio nodded in unison, once more releasing martial skills in sync.
Chu Nan was already a spent force, his Dantian's injuries growing more severe; utilizing each trace of spiritual power made his meridians feel as if they were being torn apart.
"Black and White Strangulation!" Chu Nan bet everything, using the Black and White Sword Technique's final sword technique!
Light and darkness instantly fused; with one sword thrust from Chu Nan, the black and white forces, resembling two intertwined giant pythons, transformed into a raging storm, roaring towards Ji Tonggui and the others.
"Such strong martial skill!" Ji Tonggui's face turned grim, yet full of confidence, "Chu Nan, die for me!"
As his words fell, the three struck in unison, and the ancient fierce beast charged out once again.
The sword qi screeched, the beast roared; the collision of the two forces erupted with an earth-shattering roar as if it could shake the Three Realms.
Light and darkness shattered successively, the beast also let out a mournful howl.
Boom!
Eventually, the sword qi collapsed, and the broken beast, carrying overwhelming might, charged irresistibly towards Chu Nan not far away.
Chu Nan could not evade, being struck solidly by the beast, breaking several ribs.
This was the most severe injury he'd suffered since he broke and rebuilt himself, uncontrollable blood streaming from his mouth.
"Chu Nan is already exhausted, what are we waiting for!" Huo Yang, overjoyed, directly charged at Chu Nan for a cautious final battle.
Ji Tonggui and Huo Zhen followed closely, the three forming a triangle to surround Chu Nan, unleashing various martial skills and spirit martial upon him relentlessly.
Chu Nan seemed like a beast trapped in a desperate battle, unable to find an opportunity no matter how many times he tried to break out.
Three Divine Illumination Realm Nine combined, after all, were not something Chu Nan could contend with now.
Even employing Black and White Strangulation again, it was thwarted by Ji Tonggui and the other's collective power.
Chu Nan fell into a dire strait!
Yet, the more dire the situation, the calmer Chu Nan grew, enduring the injuries while searching for a way to break the deadlock.
"Could it be, I have to use it…" A flicker of hesitation passed over Chu Nan, swiftly turning to resolve, "It seems there's no other choice!"
