Chapter 1018
Chapter 1018: You Want to Know My Name?
Lan Xiaoni’s eyes widened in shock as she witnessed Chen Nan’s defeat. She was the one who had been severely injured! She was still waiting for Chen Nan to help her, but Chen Nan was defeated first?
Chen Nan had told her that he would only need a minute.
A minute had passed, and Chen Nan had been ground into the dirt by Xiao Chou!
What the f*ck?!
Why was there such a huge disparity between the two men?
“Little Ni! Save me!” Chen Nan mustered up all his strength to cry for help.
Xiao Chou immediately swung his staff toward Chen Nan again.
Right at this moment, a blue streak of light hurtled toward Xiao Chou at an alarming speed.
This was an extremely powerful streak of blue light, and if Xiao Chou insisted on attacking Chen Nan, he would be struck by the streak of light too, which would pose a very real threat to his life.
Xiao Chou was not keen on sacrificing himself in exchange for Chen Nan’s life. His life was much more precious than Chen Nan’s.
He immediately withdrew his silver staff to use it as a shield.
Boom!
A violent boom erupted, and Xiao Chou was knocked flying by the blue streak of light.
He focused his gaze to discover that this was a semi-transparent blue fish.
The little fish wiggled its tail and tore through the air again before crashing toward Xiao Chou with the speed and power of a bolt of lightning!
Xiao Chou didn’t dare to underestimate the little blue fish.
This little fish was even more powerful than Chen Nan!
It was quite obvious that this was another one of Lan Xiaoni’s tycoon trump cards.
“Run, Chen Nan! I’ll hold them off with Little Spirit Fish!” Lan Xiaoni yelled.
“Alright!” Chen Nan didn’t hesitate even for a single moment as he crawled up from the ground with great difficulty and fled into the distance.
Xiao Chou turned to the mermaid, whose body was riddled with wounds, to find that she was crying.
However, she suddenly began to smile again as she cried.
She had clearly been forced into dire straits by Bai Yao.
Xiao Chou was quite sensitive and could empathize with Lan Xiaoni’s feelings.
Lan Xiaoni was creating a chance for Chen Nan to escape by sacrificing herself.
Even though this was her decision, she was still extremely hurt by the fact that Chen Nan had fled the scene so quickly. He hadn’t offered words of resistance. In fact, he didn’t even take a second look at her before he ran away.
She was crying as she was going to die, and she was smiling at her own stupidity.
Even though Xiao Chou could empathize with her, he was not going to allow this foolish woman to live.
After all, she was an accomplice in Chen Nan’s plan to kill Bai Yao. Just this one crime was completely unforgivable in Xiao Chou’s eyes.
Xiao Chou picked an opportunity and swung his silver staff violently into the little blue fish’s head.
Boom!
The little blue fish shattered and exploded.
Blue shockwaves erupted forth, annihilating everything within a radius of several hundred meters.
Xiao Chou was knocked flying by the explosion and threw up a large mouthful of blood.
Fortunately, he had his black crystal armor and Divine Flame to protect him. Otherwise, his Soul Formation Stage body would be unable to endure such a terrifying explosion.
“How dare you hurt my dao partner? I’ll kill you!” Bai Yao flared up at the sight of the injured Xiao Chou, and her saber swung down toward Lan Xiaoni with even greater ferocity.
Lan Xiaoni tried to defend with all her might, retreating as she did so. However, it was very difficult to keep up a watertight defense, and her fair, smooth skin was soon riddled with wounds, making her look extremely disheveled.
She had been severely injured by Yao Ji’s laser cannon blast, and she was no match for Bai Yao’s violent barrage of attacks.
Soon, Lan Xiaoni was unable to hold on any longer.
A white saber projection imbued with peerless sharpness sliced through Lan Xiaoni’s defenses before slicing apart her waist in one fell swoop!
Her fishtail and her human body were brutally separated just like that.
Lan Xiaoni’s eyes slowly glazed over, and she looked down with incredulity at the two halves of her body, from which blood was gushing forth.
She turned her eyes in the direction that Chen Nan was escaping toward to find that he had long since disappeared. There were still tears flowing down her face, and it was hard to tell whether she was crying or smiling.
Is this the end…
I haven’t even gotten married yet.
I had finally abducted my dream groom, but he’s now gone without a trace…
Lan Xiaoni slowly closed her eyes.
She fell into a boundless expanse of darkness.
Bai Yao swung her snowy white saber toward Lan Xiaoni again.
Boom!
A blue barrier suddenly erupted from Lan Xiaoni’s body, defending her from Bai Yao’s attack.
Bai Yao and Xiao Chou’s expressions shifted at the same time.
An indescribably terrifying aura burst forth from Lan Xiaoni’s body.
Lan Xiaoni’s receding vitality was suddenly arrested. At the same time, a pair of eyes as blue as the ocean appeared in mid-air, exuding a suffocating pressure that gave onlookers a powerful sense of asphyxiation.
This was an aura of a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure!
Xiao Chou and Bai Yao were both struggling to breathe.
Fortunately, the pair of blue eyes did not turn to look at them. Instead, they were silently staring at Lan Xiaoni.
Whoosh!
Lan Xiaoni’s body was enveloped by the blue barrier, and a powerful force catapulted her through the air toward the western direction, where she soon disappeared into the clouds.
The pair of ocean blue eyes slowly disappeared, and the heartstopping pressure was suddenly alleviated.
Xiao Chou and Bai Yao both heaved sighs of relief.
“How unfortunate. Both of them managed to run away.” Xiao Chou was a little disappointed
Bai Yao turned to Xiao Chou, and a vibrant smile appeared on her face. “However, we completely crushed them! We won this battle, didn’t we?”
Xiao Chou also began to smile at the sight of Bai Yao’s enticing smile. “That’s right! And I don’t know about you, but I thoroughly enjoyed the pummeling I dished out!”
Xiao Chou and Bai Yao had emerged from this battle between couples with a crushing victory.
Within a certain forest outside of Qing Hu City.
A figure was flying quickly through the air.
Chen Nan was on his way back to the Hei Hu City, where the Black Fox Tribe was based.
Taking part in further battles would be impossible. He had been severely wounded and debilitated, so engaging in any more battles would be akin to suicide.
He couldn’t let Lan Xiaoni’s sacrifice be in vain. She had swapped her life for his.
Chen Nan’s expression was full of resentment at the thought of the tragic fate that had befallen Lan Xiaoni.
“Xiao Chou, Bai Yao, An Lin… Hehehe… Do you really think you’ve won? Lan Xiaoni is a princess of the Spirit Fish Clan! Do you think you’ll get away with killing her?
“I’m really looking forward to your expressions of despair when you realize just what you’re up against…”
With this in mind, a hideous smile appeared on Chen Nan’s disfigured face.
Boom boom boom…
Energy exploded and boomed, audible even from this far away.
Vital energy surged in massive waves as gale-force winds swept through the air for hundreds of kilometers.
This was a battle of a scale that had not been seen in the Creation Realm for the past hundred years. Most of the Soul Formation Stage cultivators taking part in the battle were all just cannon fodder.
“It’s such a pity for me though. Who would have thought that in this one battle, I would lose both my supreme-grade concubine, Bai Yao, and my future wife, Lan Xiaoni…” Chen Nan heaved a forlorn sigh, feeling very sorry for himself.
Boom!
A crimson sword projection suddenly swept through the air before striking Chen Nan’s body!
“Puah!”
The scorching sword projection sliced viciously into Chen Nan’s body, and he threw up a large mouthful of blood as he plummeted from the sky.
A figure appeared before Chen Nan with an expression of surprise and elation.
Chen Nan gripped the massive wound on his chest as his eyes widened in shock. “Who… who are you?”
A man holding a crimson longsword chortled with glee as he looked down at Chen Nan. “If it weren’t for you muttering all that crap to yourself, I wouldn’t have recognized you, you hideous f*ck! You look so different from the photos! It must be all of those misleading photo-manipulation apps!”
The man spoke to himself as he laid the blade of his longsword on Chen Nan’s neck.
“I am the man chosen by God! The entire battle is well within my grasp!
“You want to know my name? I am the elder of the Four Nine Immortal Sect, Tang Ximen!”
