At this moment!
Chen Nan experienced what was called bone-deep pain!
He also realized how cheap mortal lives were in the eyes of cultivators!
Agreed!
Yan Xiong's actions also deeply enraged him!
His eyes turned blood red, and his pupils were filled with bloodshot veins!
"Die for me!"
He held the Junzi Sword, used the "Shrinking Ground into an Inch" technique, raised his long sword, and swung it down without any pattern!
Boom boom boom boom!
The sound of collisions, like thunder, echoed continuously!
Chen Nan fought like a madman, forcing Yan Xiong to retreat step by step, without any ability to fight back!
But his opponent was ultimately at the Great Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment. Even Chen Nan could not inflict any damage on him!
It wasn't that Chen Nan's strength was too weak; fundamentally, he was currently controlling the formation and had unleashed six clones to protect the mortals!
This was equivalent to multitasking eight things at once!
"Do you see? With your strength, you can't kill me!" Yan Xiong laughed loudly, his words full of disdain!
Chen Nan panted heavily, continuously attacking his opponent!
Even though it was difficult, he had to kill him if possible!
Yan Xiong continued to taunt, "Chen Nan, if you recall your six clones and disable the formation, you might be able to kill me, but now, you are destined not to unleash your full strength!"
"If I were you, I would definitely abandon the lives of these ants and focus on killing the enemy!"
Chen Nan roared, "If I abandon their lives, what would be the point of infiltrating Wuyang City?"
"Master, you can disable the formation, which will save your mental energy!" Jin Tong's voice echoed in Chen Nan's mind!
Chen Nan's eyes widened with rage, "If the formation is disabled, many of them will surely seize the opportunity to escape!"
"These people will all die today!"
Jin Tong, "If absolutely necessary, I can help you control the formation!"
Chen Nan's eyes lit up, "You can?"
"Yes!"
Chen Nan immediately said, "Alright, you help me control the formation and protect those civilians, and I will kill Yan Xiong and the others!"
Instantly!
The six clones returned to Chen Nan's main body!
The great formation in the air also flickered for a moment!
This was the transition period for Jin Tong to control the formation disk!
After the transition period, the formation was instantly pushed to its extreme by Jin Tong!
Streaks of sword light flashed in the air, striking towards those cultivators!
Although Jin Tong was a puppet, his mastery of controlling formations was beyond Chen Nan's!
At this moment, under Jin Tong's control, the formation displayed its peak power!
It was like an ordinary pencil. If given to a child, they would only doodle.
But if given to a painter, they could create exquisite and lifelike paintings!
The principle was the same!
"What is going on?" Yan Xiong gasped!
He could feel that the formation seemed to have been taken over by someone else!
Its power was far greater than before!
"Eat my sword!" Chen Nan's voice boomed like thunder, and he slashed at Yan Xiong with a powerful "Splitting the Mountain" strike!
Yan Xiong, caught off guard, raised his Tiger Head Saber to block in front of him!
Boom!
When the two weapons collided, a terrifying energy surged into Yan Xiong's body through the saber!
Yan Xiong did not want this energy to enter his body!
But!
He was utterly incapable of doing so!
The energy completely disregarded his control, like a mountain flood, raging within him!
Tearing at his flesh and meridians!
It also sent him flying back dozens of meters. His tiger's mouth trembled slightly, and he could see scarlet blood slowly dripping down the saber!
"Kill him!"
"Kill him!"
"He killed my daughter, I want to flay him alive!"
Seeing Chen Nan gaining the upper hand, the people in the distance cheered excitedly!
"Didn't you want me to go all out?"
"Then show me the strength to make me go all out!"
Chen Nan moved like the wind, appearing before Yan Xiong and launching another powerful offensive!
Still simple sword moves, but this time they made Yan Xiong suffer immensely!
The opponent's physique was too strong, even he was far behind!
However!
He found an opportunity, and when Chen Nan showed a flaw, he waved his right hand, "Soul Locking Rope!"
As the words fell!
A thin red thread flashed by and instantly entered Chen Nan's body!
Chen Nan's figure froze in place, appearing like a statue from a distance!
Yan Xiong laughed heartily, "We are cultivators, what do cultivators compete with? It's spells and magical treasures, my young friend! Have you ever seen a fool like you who only cultivates his physique?"
"No matter how strong your physique is, what is it worth in front of magical treasures?"
The cultivators behind Yan Xiong also burst into laughter!
"The Soul Locking Rope is a magical artifact specifically targeting the soul. Once hit by it, anyone will become a lamb to the slaughter!"
"That's right, Chen Nan is doomed this time!"
Yan Xiong looked at the camera broadcasting live from a distance, waved his right hand, and the cameraman and camera flew before him.
He faced the lens, provocatively addressing hundreds of millions of citizens, "Did you see? This is the hero you chose. Do you think he can kill us?"
"Heh!"
"Arrogant ants, how can you provoke our strength?"
"Today, I will kill him in public and show you the consequences of being our enemy!"
His words ignited the fury of hundreds of millions of citizens!
But!
They were completely helpless!
Even if they didn't want Chen Nan to be killed, they couldn't save him!
Anger!
Feelings of helplessness filled people's hearts!
Some cultivators watching the live broadcast also showed playful smiles!
If Chen Nan could truly reclaim Wuyang City today, it would undoubtedly strike a blow to the cultivators' arrogance and prevent some malcontents from imitating Gui Ye.
But if Chen Nan were killed today, the secular world would have failed before even starting!
In that case, they could do whatever they pleased in the secular world!
------
"Holy crap, how could this happen?" Meng Kuo's face was sallow, devoid of any color!
They were just outside the gates of Wuyang City, planning to rendezvous with Chen Nan here and lead the reinforcements into Wuyang City!
But they never expected the opponent to possess a magical treasure like the Soul Locking Rope!
"We underestimated them!" Li Mu clenched his fists, his fingernails digging into his palms without him realizing it!
Qin Hongyu suddenly said, "Did we also underestimate Chen Nan?"
"Think about it, he has surprised us every time!"
"Like today!"
"The forbidden weapon was about to be activated, but didn't he unseal Wuyang City in the last ten minutes, letting us understand the situation inside and thus avoiding a catastrophe?"
"I believe he won't disappoint us this time either!"
Meng Kuo said, "Yes, as long as his head isn't cut off by the enemy, there is still hope!"
A bitter smile appeared on Li Mu's face, "The Soul Locking Rope is an extremely sinister magical artifact that specifically targets the soul. Once hit by it, there is no possibility of survival!"
Qin Hongyu let out an excited scream, "Look, Chen Nan seems to have moved!!!"
