CHAPTER 946: CHAPTER 946: ARE YOU CHEN NAN?

The middle-aged cultivator was extremely domineering, completely disregarding Chen Nan as he lifted his foot and walked towards the pill room.

But seeing that Chen Nan had not left, his face suddenly turned grim.

"Are you deaf? If you’re seeking death, then let me fulfill your wish!"

His aura erupted with a bang, revealing a cultivation at the peak of the Foundation Establishment’s ninth level!

The secret realm of the Ancient Realm can only accommodate cultivators up to the Foundation Establishment. With his peak ninth-level Foundation Establishment cultivation, he was already the strongest in the secret realm.

So the middle-aged cultivator, having no scruples, made a move to kill Chen Nan.

I saw him strike out with his left hand, mighty mana surging like a rolling river, engulfing Chen Nan.

Chen Nan, enshrouded in the attack, lifted his head, a grim smile forming at the corners of his mouth.

"I remember you, you’re from the Wang Family, right? Before, you stood beside Wang Teng and also hurled a couple of insults at me, right?"

"Just perfect, since you all previously insulted me and wanted to eliminate me, let’s start collecting some interest from you."

As the words fell, the Void Breaking Sword transformed into a gray line and shot forth. At the same time, Wind Roar Sword appeared in his hand, and with one thrust, a violent gust swirled forth.

The whirlwind shredded the middle-aged cultivator’s attack like dry rot, and then the fierce wind poured over him, leaving numerous wounds in the blink of an eye.

The middle-aged cultivator’s face changed dramatically, hurriedly summoning a magic treasure to defend, looking at Chen Nan in shock.

"Who... exactly are you?!"

The Void Breaking Sword came silently, the middle-aged cultivator’s mana defense ripped apart like paper, even a protective nine-grade shield was easily pierced through with a hole.

"No!"

With his protective magical artifact shattered, the middle-aged cultivator became panicked; but by then it was too late to beg for mercy.

The Void Breaking Sword easily pierced through his flesh, shattering his Dantian and stabbing out from his back.

Bereft of all strength, he collapsed to the ground, face pale as a sheet.

"You... you are Chen Nan?" The middle-aged cultivator finally realized, "Turns out we all underestimated you."

"Hehe, what a bother."

Chen Nan clenched his five fingers, the whirlwind swept through, leaving nothing but a broken corpse in the same place.

With a wave of his hand, the middle-aged cultivator’s storage bag flew into his hand. After checking it, he found that it was not particularly wealthy but had some belongings.

"Sure enough, killing and plundering is the fastest way to get rich."

Chen Nan sighed, then entered the pill room, but after searching around, he found that the elixirs stored in the pill room had long since lost their potency.

"What a pity, truly a great pity!"

Seeing a bottle of elixirs in his hand turned into blackened pills, he was heartbroken.

Just by looking at the jade bottle they were stored in, one could tell these elixirs were high-level elixirs.

If they had been preserved until now, these elixirs would have been invaluable!

Just as Chen Nan was lamenting in his heart, an unexpected change occurred.

A clear, chilling light suddenly appeared, a sharp sword pierced through the void like a meteor, aiming straight for Chen Nan’s back.

This sword was too fast—so fast Chen Nan couldn’t react in time—and his chest was directly pierced, even his heart was shredded by the Sword Qi.

The Sword Qi rampaged, shredding everything within the pill room, even hurling Chen Nan’s body against a wall with force.

Bang!

The wall collapsed, dust rising everywhere, revealing another room behind it, seemingly a place that stored valuables.

Chen Nan lay on the ground, motionless, his breath barely detectable.

The mastermind finally entered the pill room—he was a young cultivator with clothes embroidered with a unique pattern resembling clouds on his chest.

This was the emblem of the Piaomiao Sect!

"Great, I managed to kill Chen Nan. When I return, I’ll surely receive abundant rewards!"

The newcomer was overjoyed. In fact, when Chen Nan killed the Wang Family cultivator, he had arrived nearby, hidden using a special magic.

Upon realizing it was Chen Nan, he was even more excited, as before entering the Ancient Realm Secret Realm, Senior Brother Xie Dong told them that if they could kill Chen Nan in the secret realm, it would be a great achievement.

So when Chen Nan let his guard down, he used his most powerful sword, indeed killing Chen Nan.

"Chen Nan, you can only blame yourself for killing Elder Liu’s grandson. Who else should I kill if not you?"

The young cultivator walked forward joyfully, his fingers pinching together with a slight twist, the longsword flew up again, heading towards Chen Nan to ensure he was truly dead.

But just as the longsword was about to strike, Chen Nan’s body melted away like ink, disappearing into thin air.

Clang, the sword stabbed into the ground.

The young cultivator suddenly felt the temperature around him rise sharply, a bad feeling welling up in his heart, he swiftly turned around.

Then he saw Chen Nan walking out from the shadows, a black flame quietly burning at the heart’s position on his chest.

"You... are you a man or a ghost?"

The young cultivator retreated two steps in fear, his voice trembling.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator’s body is still quite fragile. Being pierced through the heart usually means either death or severe injury.

Only by reaching the Golden Core Stage, merging one’s life into the Golden Core, does the core become the center. Even if the heart were destroyed, it could regrow.

So, when he saw Chen Nan still alive and well, there was only fear left in his heart.

Chen Nan did not answer; he just looked over coldly, killing intent evident.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, that sword would indeed have been fatal.

But his physique was inherently strong, and with his cultivation in the Mountain and Sea Spirit Casting Record, his body was no less sturdy than a first-layer Body Cultivator in the Golden Core Stage.

His impressively robust recovery ability allowed his heart to quickly heal.

"Piaomiao Sect’s member? So it seems Liu Shenyan knows that his grandson was killed by me?"

"Truly bad news, but his grandson deserved death, and thinking of avenging him, Liu Shenyan must be getting senile!"

"Oh well, I’ve made enemies with many already; one more doesn’t matter."

Chen Nan self-muttered, and after speaking, he extended his right hand, fingers open wide, as invisible winds flew out like spirit snakes, instantly entangling the young cultivator.

"Wind Strangle!"

With a low shout, his fingers clenched tightly, several wind ropes transformed into deadly weapons, swiftly tying him up, strangling the cultivator to death in a matter of moments.

This person’s cultivation wasn’t on par with Chen Nan’s, and only by relying on stealth and magic advantage did he manage to launch a successful sneak attack.

Thus, dealing with him didn’t take Chen Nan much effort.

He picked up the young cultivator’s storage bag, rummaging through it to find two jade scrolls.

As he pressed the jade scrolls to his forehead, Chen Nan delightedly realized he found what he wanted!

Being unnoticed by Chen Nan when lurking nearby indicated that the cultivator’s concealment technique was quite sophisticated.

Who would have thought this magic was indeed carried by him?

This now became a benefit for Chen Nan.
