Dashing Student

At the final moment of his life, Tang San's heart was filled with fear and regret.

If only he had known, he wouldn't have joined the fun.

If only he had known, he should have killed Chen Nan upon meeting him.

If only he had known...

Unfortunately, there are no many "ifs" in the world, only hindsight.

Chen Nan looked at the fearful Tang San and slapped him, causing his large head to fly out, smash against a tree, and explode.

The few cultivators desperately fleeing also couldn't escape the swift Void Breaking Sword, which pierced their Dantian and then returned to pierce their heads.

Even if immortals came, they would be powerless to save them.

Once he confirmed that these people were dead, Chen Nan breathed a sigh of relief.

If time had allowed, he would never have let these people die so easily.

To pay back their evil deeds done upon him, it should have been tenfold!

Chen Nan spat and suddenly relaxed, his body falling straight down.

At this moment, the medicinal power of the Heavenly Demon Pill started taking effect, making Chen Nan feel excruciating pain, as if being dismembered, with his body being crushed bit by bit and then reorganized.

The meridians in his body recovered little by little, his bones seemed to be tempered, emitting a gleaming light, and even his flesh seemed to be evolving toward demon beast-like qualities.

The wounds originally left by Tang San and the others on him were rapidly healing, and even the flesh cut from his shoulder had sprouted flesh buds, growing quickly.

This terrifying healing ability surpassed even that of a demon beast; Chen Nan's body exceeded that of a demon beast.

He could feel his body's recovery ability was abnormally strong, his physical strength greatly enhanced, and all hidden injuries and damaged foundations in his body completely restored.

Even his Dantian was suffused with some special aura.

However, before the transformation of his body was complete, Chen Nan was extremely vulnerable; even an ordinary person could easily claim his life.

At this moment, Chen Nan had no time to check the condition of his body; he was urgently thinking about Mo Yan and the others.

Faster, even faster!

…

On the other side.

Mo Yan and the two others used the Wind-controlling Talisman's effect to rush through the forest like the wind, not even knowing where they had run to.

Fortunately, the Green Ghost Yaksha Ape had been left behind and couldn't catch up for a while.

The Wind-controlling Talisman's time limit ended, turning into a pile of ashes.

Mo Yan took deep breaths, turned his head to look, and nervously patted his chest.

"I wonder how Brother Chen is doing now. Without us by his side to protect him, I hope he remains safe and sound."

"He will surely be alright," Mu Wanqing, looking equally disheveled, replied, her eyes bright and intimidating.

Xu Man chuckled, "Good people don't live long, but villains last a thousand years. Chen Nan isn't exactly a good person, so he definitely won't die."

All three had an inexplicable confidence in Chen Nan.

But at that moment, applause suddenly sounded beside them, and a somewhat eerie figure slowly walked out.

The man wore a gray long robe, a scholar's cap, and held a fan, appearing like a scholar but exuding a chilling aura.

"Brother Mo, long time no see, eh?" The man greeted courteously with clasped hands.

Mo Yan's face turned very grim, and he bluntly questioned, "Young Lord Yin, Li Xing? Why are you here?"

Li Xing chuckled, "Seeing Brother Mo running so fast, I had no choice but to use a Wind-controlling Talisman myself, but it really hurt my heart."

"However, I believe Brother Mo has something that can compensate me, right?"

Clearly, chasing them and then demanding compensation wasn't how a sane person would behave.

Being fellow cultivators from Ten Thousand Beasts City, Mo Yan knew Li Xing's style somewhat; although dressed like a scholar, he was a pervert, not someone to be understood with normal logic.

Moreover, showing up in Wuyin Forest at this time couldn't be for leisure, and chasing them all the way was clearly for something unspoken.

And Mo Yan didn't want to offend such a treacherous entity. In terms of strength, Li Xing was perhaps even a notch above him.

So, he knowingly felt like he wanted to ease the problem with money, even though it was extortion.

"What do you desire?"

Li Xing chuckled, but his smile was unsettling.

"I want the Thunder Wing White Tiger, and I want Chen Nan!"

"Impossible!"

Mo Yan refused without thinking. If Li Xing were to extort some of his things, he would be willing to offer even a considerable amount.

But Li Xing wanted things Mo Yan simply couldn't give.

So, the negotiation broke down immediately.

Li Xing put away his smile and, with a swish, opened his fan, acting cool while fanning himself twice.

"So, Brother Mo, are you planning to become my enemy?"

"I really don't understand. For someone you've barely just met, why do you protect him so?"

Xu Man snorted coldly, pulling out her longsword: "People like you would never understand principles, never understand righteousness!"

Li Xing nodded slowly, unfazed by the insult.

"Alright, alright, then let's have a match. Let's see if Brother Mo's strength has improved!"

As they were about to engage, a massive creature suddenly leaped out from the forest and landed with a crash.

Everyone turned to look, seeing a divine White Wolf Demon Beast, standing two meters tall and over three meters long, a true giant.

And atop the White Wolf stood a man, his arrogant expression speaking volumes of his identity.

Beast King Zhou Hui!

And his tamed beast, the White Wolf: "You all ran pretty fast, huh? Hand over the Thunder Wing White Tiger and Chen Nan, and I will spare your lives!"

Zhou Hui's personality was exactly as he portrayed it: arrogant and proud, looking down on others.

Even when talking to people, he maintained an air of superiority.

Mo Yan and the two others' faces turned extremely grim.

If only Young Lord Li Xing were present, they might still manage.

But with Beast King Zhou Hui added, they stood no chance at all.

Seeing Mo Yan silent, Zhou Hui became exceedingly impatient.

"Those idiots bore the brunt of the Green Ghost Yaksha Ape's rage for you. Time is limited; I won't linger here with you."

"Hand over Chen Nan, or die!"

Unable to stand his arrogance, Xu Man retorted angrily, "Dream on!"

"Courting death!"

Zhou Hui suddenly grew angry, and the wolf beneath him howled, then lunged at Xu Man, with its massive paw crashing down like a giant stone.

"Watch out!"

Mo Yan furrowed his brows, mana surged within, and a metallic sheen appeared on his body, propelling him in front of Xu Man with an arrow step, his giant sword shielding them like a barrier.

On the side, Li Xing smirked sinisterly, trails of black mist appearing on the surface of his body: "Brother Mo, I am still here. How can you be distracted?"
