CHAPTER 878: CHAPTER 878: KILLING THE CHICKEN TO WARN THE MONKEY

Chen Nan’s smile became the shadow of the old woman’s life.

Of course, her life was also about to come to a halt.

The old woman couldn’t understand why a seemingly delicate pretty boy suddenly exploded with such terrifying combat power.

Generally, such prodigies should have long made a name for themselves; they couldn’t possibly not recognize him.

"It’s all your fault, why did you hide your strength? Otherwise, how could we have attacked you?"

"It’s all your fault, you deserve to die!"

At this moment, she seemed to have gone mad with fear, screaming in terror, her five fingers opened, countless vines shooting towards Chen Nan like arrows.

Chen Nan’s expression was peculiar; he didn’t expect there’d be such little fairies in the Cultivation World.

No, now it’s the old fairy. It seems like there are always fools like this wherever you go.

"You all want to kill me, yet it’s my fault? It’s simply unreasonable!"

"Shock God Stab!"

Chen Nan’s gaze sharpened as a massive surge of Divine Soul Power suddenly poured out, transforming into a sharp stab fiercely piercing the old woman’s soul.

The old woman’s mind suddenly went blank, the severe pain causing her body to twist, directly falling to the ground, writhing and screaming.

"Die!"

Chen Nan pointed forward slightly, and the Void Breaking Sword at his Dantian suddenly flew out, silently slicing through the thick vines as if cutting paper, piercing the old woman’s Dantian.

The old woman whose cultivation was wasted looked even older, and it seemed she didn’t even have the strength to speak.

The Void Breaking Sword returned, piercing the old woman’s head again without a trace of blood, returning to Chen Nan’s Dantian.

In face-to-face combat, the Void Breaking Sword is nearly an unbeatable weapon, the more he uses it, the more he likes it.

Chen Nan picked up the old woman’s storage bag and continued his pursuit in another direction.

Because he had already dispatched the King of Ten Thousand Gu, he felt a sense and quickly arrived at the place where the King of Ten Thousand Gu was.

At this time, the cultivator with the scar was already dead, lying on the ground, his body a strange bluish-purple, with two small holes in his neck, obviously poisoned by the King of Ten Thousand Gu.

"You brought this on yourself!"

Also picking up the storage bag, Chen Nan returned to the small waterfall, where the severely wounded hooded man was still alive, barely clinging to life and lying on the ground.

In the distance, Mo Yan and his group hurriedly caught up.

"Hurry, it might already be too late, the young cultivator might have already been killed by Skinny Ghost and his men!"

Mo Yan’s tone was hurried and anxious.

For the sake of an unfamiliar cultivator, they chased all the way here, it sounds foolish, yet it proved that all five of them were good people.

But suddenly, they smelled a strong scent of blood, and even a lingering high temperature.

The few of them changed their expressions and stopped, after walking forward a few steps, they saw a corpse, it was Skinny Ghost!

At this time, Skinny Ghost’s head had exploded, leaving a fist-sized hole in his chest, dying a gruesome death.

Seeing this scene, Mo Yan and Xu Man’s faces turned extremely unsightly, both forcibly suppressing the nausea in their hearts.

And the long-haired petite woman behind them couldn’t hold back anymore and ran to the side to vomit.

"Is he... Skinny Ghost?"

Mo Yan nodded solemnly: "No doubt, it’s Skinny Ghost."

"It seems we’re too late!"

The group continued forward, quickly arriving near the small waterfall, though they dared not get close, stopping ten fathoms away.

They clearly saw the young cultivator by the shore of the pond, who they previously thought was certain to die.

Now, Chen Nan had revoked his Heaven-Burning Transformation state, with little mana left in him, needing to find a place to recover well, yet he suddenly sensed several breaths arriving in front of him.

He grabbed the dying hooded man with one hand and lifted him in front, then turned his gaze towards Mo Yan and his group, his eyes cold.

With a bang, golden Heaven-Burning Flame surged from his palm, burning the hooded man completely in the blink of an eye, contributing his final bit of value.

That was Chen Nan’s way of killing chickens to scare the monkeys!

Chen Nan also realized that the people who arrived were the kind-hearted ones who prevented him from joining Skinny Ghost’s group outside the Wuyin Forest, feeling a bit surprised.

He wasn’t sure if these people came with good intentions or had ulterior motives like Skinny Ghost.

Therefore he kept them at arm’s length, using actions to show they were unwelcome.

After finishing everything, Chen Nan collected the last storage bag, turned around and leapt over the small waterfall, vanishing into the forest.

"Indeed, we are too late!"

The long-haired woman timidly said: "He’s so powerful, did he kill Skinny Ghost and his men all by himself?"

Xu Man gazed in the direction where Chen Nan disappeared, feeling something different inside.

The man she once looked down upon, considered a troublemaker, turned out to be a strong person whose strength exceeded their imagination.

Even the five of them dared not easily make a move against Skinny Ghost and his men; killing Skinny Ghost and four others would be impossible.

Yet that young cultivator did it easily.

The man didn’t need their help at all!

"Clearly so powerful, yet acting weak; truly insidious!"

Xu Man’s mood was complex; she should be happy that he didn’t need their help, but she just couldn’t be happy.

Mo Yan sighed: "Sigh, seems we worried for nothing."

"With such strength, how is it possible he needed us to rescue him?"

...

In the Yunxiao Sect, Xu Wencheng came out of the room looking satisfied, not even tidying his clothes properly.

In the room behind him, several female disciples of the Yunxiao Sect were silently crying, their bodies naked.

Outside the door, several disciples of the Yunxiao Sect harbored intense resentment.

During Xu Wencheng’s time at the Yunxiao Sect, the female disciples had been almost completely ravaged, including women they were smitten with.

Yet they dared not refuse, for Xu Wencheng was a disciple of a Nascent Soul Old Monster, and an Inner Sect Disciple of the Yuantian Sect.

They could only swallow their anger and resentment, hiding it deep in their hearts.

"Any news?"

Xu Wencheng glanced at them, relishing their discontent even more.

He liked the feeling of being hated yet untouchable.

A disciple of the Yunxiao Sect stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Young Master Xu, we’ve found information about Chen Nan. He’s gone to the Wuyin Forest."

"Because he bought a broken sword at the Myriad Phenomena Commerce, many people remembered him. With a portrait, you can find out easily."

"Wuyin Forest?"

Xu Wencheng instantly understood Chen Nan’s plan, sneering coldly.

"Haha, daring to go to such a place, truly ignorant. Does he think he can transform after an ordeal? Naive, foolish!"

"Even if he’s talented, what does it matter? In the face of an absolute power gap, he’s still nothing but an ant! Let me go meet him personally, or my master will soon be unhappy."

Hearing Xu Wencheng was leaving, several Yunxiao Sect disciples were overjoyed; this bully was finally leaving.

Unexpectedly, Xu Wencheng turned around, smiled wickedly at them: "You few, come with me."
