The enormous array emerged, instantly trapping Zhi Tianping and that Ancient Wood together, followed by several figures rising from the ground, exuding powerful Martial Artist aura.
"Chu Nan, do you still remember me?" One person slowly stepped out, staring at Chu Nan with a proud look.
Chu Nan focused his gaze, his expression slightly sank, and coldly said, "Huo Jinya!"
This was a Martial Artist of the second level of the Cloud Sea Realm, who had once attacked the Spirit Corpse Sect but was scared off by Chu Nan. In just a few months since their last encounter, he had come again to launch a siege on Chu Nan.
Beside Huo Jinya stood two Martial Artists whose aura was not inferior to his, both being cultivators of the ninth level.
Also, there were others above the eighth level of the Cloud Sea Realm, surrounding Zhi Tianping and controlling the array to imprison him.
It was clear that the adversaries were well-prepared, having planned this for a long time, even considering Chu Nan's strong Spiritual Sense. It's unknown what method they used to make Chu Nan almost unaware.
At this moment, Huo Jinya was confident of victory, with three ninth-level cultivators in total. Apart from him, the other two were from the third level, with an incredibly formidable strength.
With such power, even if there were ten more Chu Nan's to deal with, he confidently believed he could handle them with ease.
"Chu Nan, the Huo family has truly exhausted a lot of effort to bring you back to our family." Huo Jinya boasted of his achievements and explained his plan, "We have been observing your movements daily, knowing that you desperately needed the Primordial Demon Beast."
"To make you walk into our carefully designed trap, our Huo family traded dearly with the strong race Li family to acquire the Sumeru Vine and lured you here."
"Everything went as I expected, and you indeed came here without hesitation after learning about the Sumeru Vine's whereabouts."
"Although we lost a Primordial Demon Beast, bringing you back to the Huo family makes this cost worth it!"
As Huo Jinya spoke, the other two third-level cultivators from the Huo family approached Chu Nan, ensuring he had no chance of escape.
"Huo Jindiao, Huo Jinming, let's take action together to capture him alive and bring him back to the family!" Huo Jinya gave the order, and Huo Jindiao and Huo Jinming, two middle-aged Martial Artists who looked nearly identical, nodded in agreement.
"Quick and decisive action is crucial—we've spent such a large cost, and it will be difficult to explain to the family if we can't get enough benefit from Chu Nan!" Huo Jindiao reminded Huo Jinya.
Huo Jinya nodded, his eyes showing even more excitement. In his eyes, Chu Nan was now like a lamb to the slaughter, with no chance to escape!
"It's not that easy to catch me!" Chu Nan activated his cultivation, summoned the Blood Pattern Sword, and vigilantly watched the three.
Upon hearing this, Huo Jinming laughed loudly and said, "Chu Nan, with your fourth-level cultivation, do you expect to escape alive? Just surrender obediently!"
As his words dropped, the trio attacked Chu Nan simultaneously, releasing their own Sea of Clouds, which altered the color of the sky and earth within a hundred-mile radius. The terrifying pressure felt like a ten-thousand-foot-high mountain, making it difficult for Chu Nan to breathe for a moment.
Rumble...
The trio struck at the same time, with their Spiritual Power forming massive palms, intertwining wind, fire, and thunder in a fierce, unstoppable force!
It gives the impression that just touching it would result in being annihilated to dust.
Zhi Tianping, trapped within the array, became extremely anxious, frantically attacking the array in hopes of escaping to assist Chu Nan in battle.
But the array was exceptionally powerful, making it difficult for him to break through even as a second-level cultivator.
Seeing this, Chu Nan felt a deep gravity in his heart. There was no doubt that this was the most dangerous battle he had encountered since setting foot on the Martial Dao.
The three ninth-level cultivators charged in unison, an overwhelming threat that few in the Celestial Crossing Realm could withstand.
Yet Chu Nan showed no fear, having the option to summon Lu Yao directly.
Lu Yao's strength was incredibly formidable, able to easily resolve the danger, but he decided not to rely on her and chose to fight himself.
Although the situation was perilous, it was not entirely hopeless!
"Today, I, Chu Nan, will fight three ninth-level cultivators in one day—it is indeed a world-shaking feat!"
Boom!
A Sea of Blood surged forth with countless beast shadows of Primordial Demon Beasts obscuring the sky, all confronting the massive palms coming towards them.
However, this power ultimately proved too fragile, vanishing before even touching them.
Huo Jinya laughed and said, "Chu Nan, the three of us joined forces can contend with even a fourth-level Martial Artist. No matter what means you use, it's hard to resist us!"
Huo Jindiao spoke coldly, "Surrender and come back with us to the Huo family, and I'll spare your life!"
Huo Jinming, however, licked his lips and said, "Huo Mingxian told us, your blood contains a great secret, so let's enjoy it before bringing you back to the Huo family!"
Chu Nan's expression turned icy, fully aware that the maid who served his mother, Huo Mingxian, indeed knew the secret about him.
If not for this, the Huo family wouldn't be so aggressively targeting him.
As the three massive palms were about to strike, Chu Nan immediately summoned a third-level Sea of Clouds, activating the Desolate Profound Transformation.
Eight arms extended from his back, his entire body covered in a black scale armor, surrounded by layers of cold mist.
This was not the Zangba Evil Body, but a completely new transformation resulting from devouring Ten-arm Ape of the Sky and Yin Swallowing Spider King, these Primordial Demon Beasts.
Facing Chu Nan's full-force eruption, Huo Jinya showed a disdainful expression. In his eyes, Chu Nan was already trapped beyond escape.
"Chu Nan, suppress him for me!"
The three palms simultaneously descended, filled with the Palm Power of the ninth-level cultivators, which is something ordinary Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artists cannot resist.
"Dragon Slaughter Tower!"
The Dragon Qi erupted as Chu Nan summoned the Dragon Slaughter Tower, channeling full power to smash towards Huo Jindiao.
Under Chu Nan's forceful activation, the Dragon Slaughter Tower instantly expanded to over a hundred feet, moving with overwhelming might.
Crack!
Huo Jindiao's Thunder Palm was shattered in an instant, countless Thunder Powers dissipating into starlight and disappearing in the air.
"Good boy, you indeed have some skill!" Huo Jindiao exclaimed while preparing to make another move.
Meanwhile, Huo Jinming and Huo Jinya's attacks followed closely behind.
"Battle Soul Banner!"
As the Mad Banner waved, Huo Qi's Yin Soul moved with Chu Nan's arms, leading thousands of Yin Souls to attack Huo Jinming.
The storm power was torn apart under the Yin Soul's power, and Huo Jinming said unexpectedly, "You actually imprisoned Huo Qi's soul, damn it!"
Huo Jinya's eyes showed surprise; Chu Nan's strength had become even more formidable than when he was at the Spirit Corpse Sect.
"Chu Nan, you are indeed extraordinary, let's see what other moves you have!" Huo Jinya shouted, his Flaming Giant Palm's fire once again radiating dozens of miles, incinerating everything to ashes wherever it passed.
Previously, they refrained from using full strength for fear of accidentally killing Chu Nan, but after witnessing his astonishing strength, they decided to go all out without holding back!
