At the same time.
The sect leaders of the four hidden sects simultaneously stopped their attacks.
Their brows were tightly furrowed.
They stared intently at Chen Nan.
They could feel Chen Nan's aura had weakened compared to before.
Logically, this should be a good thing.
But for some reason.
The fiery wings, more than ten meters long, behind Chen Nan.
And the enigmatic smile on his face.
Both gave them an ominous premonition.
Although Chen Nan was still at the Soul Gathering realm.
Yet, everyone.
Felt an inexplicable fear towards the unknown.
"Tired?"
"How about you try my attack next?" Chen Nan grinned.
With a wave of his hand.
Swish!
The crimson Dragon Restraining Chain instantly appeared before Wan Yan, the Zhuang Lord of Hidden Sword Villa.
Wan Yan showed a hint of disdain on his face.
Terrifying yin energy surged out, blocking Chen Nan's attack.
Chen Nan frowned slightly.
As expected.
Even though he had obtained the Fire Element Law.
He had not completely mastered it.
With his current ability to control the Fire Element Law.
It was not enough to kill a Body Seizing realm expert head-on.
Of course.
Even a Soul Devouring realm expert, he might not be able to kill.
Although he had killed several Soul Devouring realm experts before.
That was with the power of the Fire Element Law.
And now.
If he wanted to fully unleash the power of the Fire Element Law.
He would still face the risk of backlash.
"Die!"
Wu Xin, the leader of the Moon Worship Cult, pointed his finger from a distance.
A terrifying finger seal tore through the void.
It struck Chen Nan's chest heavily.
Puchi!
Chen Nan was sent flying dozens of meters.
Spitting out a mouthful of blood.
His chest felt a sharp, intense pain.
Seeing this scene.
Du Yuan immediately became enraged. She flew to Chen Nan's side, her eyes full of murderous intent: "Wu Xin, old man, you dare to injure my brother? Are you tired of living?"
Wu Xin's face showed a hint of disdain: "Valley Master Du, in the scramble for opportunities, casualties are inevitable."
"Even you cannot protect him today."
"Then let's try!" Du Yuan erupted with powerful killing intent.
The air plummeted.
Patches of heavy snow appeared in the night sky.
It was summer now.
Yet, large snowflakes were drifting from the sky.
This strange weather phenomenon puzzled even the Tianting on the ground.
What puzzled it even more.
Was that the large snowflakes only floated in the night sky, not falling.
Curious.
It stretched out its tongue to lick one of the snowflakes.
Immediately, a heart-wrenching pain surged through it.
It hadn't licked a snowflake.
It had licked a blade!
"It's Snow Falling on the Mortal World?" Yu Bo, the楼主 of Heavenly Net Tower, looked grave.
He immediately unleashed his profound yin energy to resist the falling snow.
As a leader of a hidden sect himself.
He knew the terror of this move.
"Valley Master Du, I never thought you would use Hundred Flowers Valley's strongest move for this man." Wan Yan's tone carried a hint of sourness.
"What's so good about him that you would use this move for him?"
"Do you really want to fight us to the death?"
Chen Nan's heart trembled violently.
He didn't know what Snow Falling on the Mortal World meant to Du Yuan.
But one thing was clear.
This move must have greatly harmed her.
Otherwise, these four people would not appear so uneasy.
Du Yuan: "Chen Nan is the man I've chosen. As long as I'm alive, I won't let anyone harm him."
"And certainly not let anyone harm him in front of me."
Speaking this, she turned to look at Chen Nan, a hint of paleness appearing on her beautiful face.
Giving off a tragically beautiful aura: "Don't worry, with your sister here, I won't let you suffer any more harm."
Chen Nan suddenly felt an invisible knife pierce his heart.
An unforgettable pain.
He never expected Du Yuan's feelings for him to be so deep.
Even to the point of risking her life.
"What have I done to deserve this!"
His emotions were complicated.
Honestly.
Since arriving in the underworld.
Chen Nan had planned to restrain his philandering nature.
He didn't want to be a player.
He didn't want to be a scumbag.
Although there was Ning Yinqiu.
But to him.
Ning Yinqiu was a remedy for loneliness, a way to relieve boredom.
As for Leng Qingmei, it was out of revenge.
Xia Youwei's situation was a bit complicated.
It was mainly due to the debts the host had incurred.
But he also had good feelings for Xia Youwei.
After all, that girl was truly innocent, kind, and pure.
But it was only a good feeling, not true affection.
But at this moment.
He realized.
His plan to seal his heart seemed to be failing.
His heart was made of flesh.
Not stone.
Du Yuan's kindness towards him, he saw it all.
Who wouldn't love such a person?
Xiang Tianshe, the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, sighed: "You should know that love is the most fatal poison in the world. You shouldn't have fallen in love."
"If not for that, you wouldn't be in this predicament today."
He was a master of poison.
And he even believed the most fatal poison in the world was love.
Du Yuan's lips curved into an enigmatic smile: "I know love is the most fatal poison in the world, but if I don't taste this poison, how can I say I've truly lived?"
Wan Yan, the Zhuang Lord of Hidden Sword Villa, snorted: "Valley Master Du, I don't deny that Snow Falling on the Mortal World is a powerful move."
"However, do you think you alone."
"Can withstand the four of us, peak Body Seizing realm experts?"
Yu Bo, the楼主 of Heavenly Net Tower, looked at Du Yuan with complex emotions: "Valley Master Du, I respect you for sacrificing yourself for love. Since that's the case, my Heavenly Net Tower is willing to give up this opportunity!"
Heavenly Net Tower was the most mysterious and reputable among the five hidden sects.
He didn't want to take advantage of someone's misfortune.
Du Yuan looked at Wan Yan of Hidden Sword Villa, Wu Xin of the Moon Worship Cult, and Xiang Tianshe of the Five Poisons Sect, a mad smile appearing on her face: "Fighting four might be difficult."
"But fighting three, I can try."
A cold glint flashed in Wan Yan's eyes: "Overestimating yourself!"
Puchi!
Without any warning.
A long sword appeared out of thin air behind Du Yuan.
It instantly pierced through Du Yuan's chest.
Chen Nan's face changed drastically.
He felt the spatial fluctuations.
He wanted to intervene, but he was a moment too late.
He could only watch as Du Yuan's chest was pierced.
Scarlet blood stained Du Yuan's clothes.
But she gritted her teeth tightly, her eyes filled with hatred: "You can die now!"
She slashed out with her sword.
The falling snow surged towards Wan Yan.
"Block this sword energy!" Wan Yan's face was grim as he roared at the two elders behind him.
Then, he grabbed at the void with both hands.
The next second.
Countless swords appeared around Chen Nan and Du Yuan.
Just as Chen Nan was about to use his spatial domain.
Du Yuan said softly: "Did you forget what your sister told you earlier?"
"But..." Chen Nan's eyes turned red.
He naturally remembered Du Yuan's instructions.
Not to use his spatial domain in front of outsiders.
However.
He hadn't expected.
Even at this moment.
Du Yuan was still considering him.
Du Yuan reached out and wiped the blood from the corner of Chen Nan's mouth, a confident smile on her face: "Your sister is the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley, after all. How could she not have any life-saving means?"
