The woman who met his eyes was no other than Bai Yu.
The heroine written by Chen Nan, Bai Yu.
No!
More accurately, she was Bai Yu, the Huang-rank divine constable among the four divine constables of the Zhenyao Division!
Chen Nan knew Bai Yu was out on a mission.
But to be honest.
He had absolutely not expected to encounter her at the ruins of the Water God Cult.
Seeing her being pursued by four experts.
Without a doubt, she must have discovered some treasure on the island.
At the same time.
Bai Yu also saw Chen Nan, her eyes shimmering with disbelief.
She too had not expected to meet Chen Nan here.
Without thinking further, she threw out a dark wooden sword: "I'll hold them off, you quickly take this sword and leave."
Chen Nan curiously examined the wooden sword in his hand.
This wooden sword was filled with an ancient and desolate aura.
Although it was made of wood.
It exuded a terrifying aura.
"This girl has good fortune, to actually find the Water God Cult's sect-protecting artifact!" Di Ting's voice was filled with surprise: "If you wish to find the ultimate fortune, you must obtain this sword!"
"Legend has it that this sword is named Gong Gong Sword."
"It is refined from ten-thousand-year-old black wood."
"With it, you can summon water laws."
Chen Nan rejoiced.
He had not expected to obtain the Gong Gong Sword upon entering the Water God Cult.
However.
Was Bai Yu truly acting out of good intentions?
Chen Nan had no answer in his heart.
Because Bai Yu had always harbored resentment towards him.
Hating him to the point of wanting to tear him to pieces.
Now she threw the Gong Gong Sword to him, ostensibly to let him escape.
But who knew if she was trying to use these four people to eliminate him?
"Chen Nan, you damn bastard, hurry up and go!" Bai Yu produced a long sword in her hand and, with her back to Chen Nan, engaged the four powerful individuals in battle.
Although her cultivation was only at the peak of the Body Seizing realm.
The strength she displayed was comparable to an expert of the Ghastly Spirit realm.
She had even managed to hold off the four Ghastly Spirit realm experts.
Chen Nan watched everything silently.
Realizing he had judged her with a villain's heart.
Bai Yu genuinely wanted him to take the Gong Gong Sword and leave.
She was not trying to use these people to get rid of him.
Thinking this.
He put away the Gong Gong Sword, a hint of a meaningful smile appearing on his face: "As a man, how can I let a woman cover my retreat?"
"I absolutely cannot have women behind me."
"Hmm, women can only be in front of me."
Bai Yu's face turned green with anger!
This scoundrel.
At a time like this, he was still making lewd jokes?
Can't you be serious for once?
She knew Chen Nan was powerful.
But she didn't believe Chen Nan could defeat four Ghastly Spirit realm experts simultaneously.
Unlike her.
She had already figured out the methods of these four.
By entangling with them, she could completely delay them.
Thus buying Chen Nan a sliver of hope.
Of course.
She wasn't doing this solely for Chen Nan.
But rather, she didn't want that wooden sword to fall into the hands of these four.
Because this could change the current situation in the imperial court.
It could give the conservative faction more leverage.
Although the Zhenyao Division always maintained neutrality.
They couldn't just stand by and watch the conservative faction grow stronger.
Swish swish swish!
The four Ghastly Spirit realm experts who were fighting Bai Yu simultaneously fixed their gaze on Chen Nan.
"Are you Chen Nan of Tongcheng?" an old man's eyes gleamed with amusement: "It's truly a case of finding what you seek only when you stop looking. Effortless gain."
"I was planning to kill you in Guangling Prefecture after obtaining the Water God Cult's fortune."
"I never expected to meet you here!"
"Since that's the case, then you shall die!"
With that, he bypassed Bai Yu and appeared before Chen Nan, wielding a long sword.
He thrust out his sword.
But Chen Nan calmly dodged it.
Chen Nan curiously looked at them: "Who do you belong to?"
"The Imperial Tutor?"
"Or a King by another surname?"
"It doesn't matter!"
"It doesn't matter!"
"Since you wish to kill me, then I shall annihilate you and feed you to the dogs!" With that, he unleashed a palm strike.
Scorching flames instantly struck the old man.
Even with his protective yin energy, he couldn't withstand the flames Chen Nan unleashed.
Although he wasn't injured.
His clothes and hair were instantly reduced to ashes.
He appeared completely bare.
"Eunuch?" Chen Nan exclaimed in surprise.
At the same time, he understood their origin.
They must be people of a King by another surname.
After all, only kings or emperors had eunuchs by their side.
"I will kill you!"
The naked eunuch's eyes blazed with fury, his long sword transforming into countless sword qi that appeared behind him.
"Die!"
He waved his arm.
The sword qi behind him seemed to press down like a dark cloud, instantly crushing towards Chen Nan.
The void trembled.
Giving the impression that it was about to be annihilated at any moment.
But Chen Nan, with a detached expression, met the sword qi head-on.
He allowed the sword qi to pierce through his body.
But it caused no harm whatsoever.
"What?"
The four Ghastly Spirit realm experts simultaneously gasped.
They couldn't believe that Chen Nan, a cultivator at the second level of the Soul Devouring realm.
Could withstand the full force of a Ghastly Spirit realm expert's attack.
Even seeing it with their own eyes.
They felt a sense of unreality.
"Your attack isn't enough to harm me!" Chen Nan appeared before the old man like a phantom, and he unleashed a punch.
Intense flames instantly engulfed his fist.
The terrifying heat instantly ignited the air.
Causing space to distort.
The old man's face turned pale.
He felt Chen Nan's terrifying power.
Even though Chen Nan was only at the second level of the Soul Devouring realm.
He still felt a strong sense of crisis.
He had a premonition.
If this fiery fist landed on his head,
Even if he didn't die, he would be severely wounded.
Without a second thought, he used all his might to try and dodge.
But he was shocked to discover a mysterious force that directly restrained him in mid-air.
Only his thoughts could move.
Everything else was frozen!
"Explode!"
Chen Nan's voice echoed in the old man's ears.
The next moment.
The old man felt a sharp pain.
And then his consciousness vanished.
The other three Ghastly Spirit realm experts were stunned.
They watched with their own eyes as their companion's head was blown apart by Chen Nan's punch.
Blown apart by a junior at the second level of the Soul Devouring realm.
This was hard for them to accept.
Because they had never imagined that a junior at the second level of the Soul Devouring realm would be so powerful.
He could actually kill a Ghastly Spirit realm expert instantly.
It was quite unfair!
Before the three could recover from their shock.
They were surprised to find.
Chen Nan clenching his fiery fist and smashing it fiercely onto the ground.
All three were bewildered.
They didn't understand why Chen Nan was attacking the innocent ground.
Before two of them could react.
They were horrified to see the head of their companion beside them being smashed by a fiery fist!!!
That fiery fist seemed to appear out of nowhere.
Swift, invincible.
Without any warning.
Making it impossible to guard against.
An old man's scalp tingled, and he looked at Chen Nan in terror, his voice trembling: "Your punch was clearly aimed at the ground just now, why did it kill my companion?"
Chen Nan's lips curved upwards, revealing an infuriating smile: "I'll just ask you one thing, are you afraid of my strength?"
