He seemed to have turned into a gust of wind, constantly circling around Chu Nan, looking for an opportunity.

Chu Nan remained motionless, as if he couldn't find any trace of Huo Qiu at all.

A few breaths later, Huo Qiu's eyes lit up as he said, "It's now!"

Boom!

Spotting the opportunity, Huo Qiu suddenly launched a punch, aiming straight for Chu Nan's back, intending to crush Chu Nan's heart with a single blow, leaving him no chance to turn the tables.

"I've succeeded!"

Huo Qiu felt the impact and his expression instantly turned joyful.

However, before he could revel in his success for two seconds, Huo Qiu found that his full-strength punch barely broke through Chu Nan's skin!

At that moment, the previously motionless Chu Nan suddenly turned his head, and Huo Qiu saw his icy gaze.

"No good!" Huo Qiu's heart trembled, and he was about to back away.

But Chu Nan swiftly slashed out with a sword, and Huo Qiu only saw a flash of sword light pass before his eyes, after which he knew nothing more.

With one hand, Chu Nan lifted Huo Qiu's head and tossed it at Huo Jing's feet, saying, "If they're just this kind of trash, it's better not to send them to their deaths."

While speaking, the minor injury caused by Huo Qiu had already fully healed.

Huo Qiu's speed was indeed very fast, even Chu Nan found it difficult to catch up, so he stopped his assault and instead quietly prepared, waiting for Huo Qiu to strike.

By relying on the formidable physique acquired after devouring the Weeping Blood Flood Python, Chu Nan withstood Huo Qiu's deadly attack.

Enduring the pain, he finally unleashed a long-prepared sword strike, severing Huo Qiu's head.

The entire battle was completed in a flash, so fast that even Huo Jing didn't have time to rescue him.

Everyone looked towards Chu Nan, deeply shaken by how he had once again slain someone from the Cloud Sea Realm.

Chu Nan was simply reckless, incredibly arrogant.

Even Huo Tao, looking from afar, furrowed his brow deeply, and a strong killing intent flickered in his eyes, though he restrained himself.

As a dignified Cloud Sea Realm eighth-level, how could he stoop so low as to personally deal with a mere Divine Illumination Realm?

Huo Jing, with his Cloud Sea Realm second-level cultivation, was enough to deal with a single Chu Nan!

"Chu Nan, you've killed several people of my Huo family, your crimes are unforgivable, and today, I will personally kill you."

"And you, Huo Nianfang, after killing Chu Nan, wait for the family's punishment."

Huo Jing's dark eyes exposed unabated killing intent.

Regardless of what happens inside the Heaven-Shaking Secret Realm, if they don't kill Chu Nan now, the impact on the Huo family's prestige would be too great.

The dignified strong race of the Imperial Capital, unable to deal with a mere Divine Illumination Realm, would surely be ridiculed by other strong races.

No matter what, the Huo family must win this battle!

"Well, I'm really curious to see how you could kill me!" Facing Huo Jing's threat, Chu Nan smiled calmly, he wasn't the least bit afraid, and instead seemed eager to fight.

He judged that he could possibly kill a Cloud Sea Realm second-level with all his might, but he hadn't truly tried it yet, after all, the gap between the second level of Cloud Sea Realm and the first level of Cloud Sea Realm or Divine Illumination Realm was much larger.

If he hadn't obtained the new Ancestral Bloodline, Chu Nan certainly wouldn't have had this confidence.

All the martial artists around were confused, amazed at Chu Nan's confidence in facing Huo Jing from the Cloud Sea Realm second level without fear.

The gap between the first and second levels of the Cloud Sea Realm was quite significant.

Huo Jing was thoroughly enraged by Chu Nan's contemptuous attitude, and immediately channeled the terrifying spiritual power within himself, causing his whole body to shake uncontrollably.

"Boastful brat, I really want to see if your strength is as big as your words!"

Spiritual power gathered, instantly forming an invisible giant hand, exuding terrifying pressure, as if it was choking everyone's throat around.

Under the power of this invisible hand, even a first-level martial artist of the Cloud Sea Realm would be smashed into mincemeat.

Huo Mountain and Huo Qiu together couldn't withstand even one move under Huo Jing.

This gave Huo Jing the confidence he needed to believe he could slay Chu Nan.

All the surrounding martial artists dispersed for fear of being accidentally injured by Huo Jing, which would be a huge loss.

Chu Nan held the Black and White Guiyuan Sword, quietly channeling his spiritual power to transform it into Sword Qi, a surge of aura ready to launch a thunderous strike at any moment.

Though his words were filled with contempt, Chu Nan would not be careless in battle.

The path of martial artists is vast and diverse in techniques, which cannot be taken lightly.

"Die for me!"

Huo Jing, with his charges complete, shouted loudly before controlling his invisible hand to fiercely strike at Chu Nan.

Wherever it passed, the ground cracked, vegetation turned to powder, emitting a sky-shattering roar as if it would cause the heavens and earth to change drastically.

The terrifying aura was far beyond what Huo Mountain and Huo Qiu could compare to, like a firefly against the moon!

"Huo Jing's Heaven-shaking Hand is getting stronger and stronger!"

"Back then, Huo Jing, with this martial skill, once smacked a second level demon beast of the Cloud Sea Realm to death with one palm. With Chu Nan's strength, it would be tough to withstand it."

The surrounding martial artists were shaken in their hearts, simultaneously sighing at Chu Nan's overestimation of his capabilities.

Huo Nianfang looked at Chu Nan with worry. With such a terrifying attack, how could Chu Nan withstand it?

Facing Huo Jing's sure-kill strike, Chu Nan's eyes shot forth a dazzling light as he swung his sword fiercely at the invisible hand.

As the sword was slashed out, countless black and white Sword Qi gushed forth, the second-level martial intent released perfectly.

The Sword Qi crisscrossed, carrying an unstoppable mighty aura that fell on the invisible hand.

Boom!

The Sword Qi and the invisible hand fiercely collided in mid-air, two terrifying forces exploded into a huge ball of energy, causing the ground below to instantly sink by a meter!

The sharp gales mixed with Sword Qi swept all around, and for a moment, the two forces were evenly matched.

"On par?"

"Terrifying, too terrifying. Chu Nan, just a loose cultivator from Qingxuan Province, without a strong background, how could he cultivate to be so powerful."

Divine Illumination Realm ninth level faced with a hard battle against a Cloud Sea Realm second level, had it not been seen with their own eyes, who would believe it to be true.

Huo Jing's expression was gloomy, he never expected that his Heaven-shaking Hand could not take down Chu Nan, but instead boosted his prestige greatly.

However, in the next moment, even more frustrating things happened to him.

Boom!

The sound of cracking spread as the light ball in mid-air made a splitting noise, and finally the invisible hand couldn't withstand the confrontation any longer, beginning to crack inch by inch.

A few breaths later, with one last explosion, the invisible hand completely collapsed under the Sword Qi's onslaught.

The remaining power of the black and white Sword Qi gently blew across Huo Jing, slicing off a lock of his dark hair.

The lock of hair scattered to the ground, causing Huo Jing's eye to twitch, his heart churning with gigantic waves.

Although Chu Nan's sword didn't injure him, their martial skill confrontation clearly left Huo Jing half a step behind, even if it was just a lock of hair, it still meant an inauspicious start for him!

"Chu Nan, you..."

Huo Jing gritted his teeth, taking a step forward, the ground beneath him cracking like a spider's web.

Seeing this, Chu Nan laughed and said, "If you can't kill me, it's not necessary to take it out on the ground, is it? But speaking of it, with my current state, killing you would indeed be somewhat challenging~"

"So next, I will use all my strength!"
