Dashing Student

The excruciating pain brought the Ape King back to consciousness, and the bloodthirsty red light in its eyes dimmed slightly. It could feel something ruthlessly destroying its insides, but it was completely powerless to stop it.

It raised its head and looked at Chen Nan with a gaze full of hatred, baring its teeth and displaying the last of its ferocity.

Before the Ape King could make its next move, Chen Nan's assault was already underway.

"Fierce Tiger Seal!"

"Dragon Tiger Seal!"

"Shock God Stab!"

All kinds of magic were unleashed on the Ape King until Chen Nan exhausted his mana, finally stopping.

The massive body of the Ape King collapsed to the ground, unable to die in peace. But its abdomen was sunken, a large chunk of flesh consumed by the King of Ten Thousand Gu.

Chen Nan staggered slightly, the flames on his body receding.

Though he had performed better compared to his fight against the Thunder Wing White Tiger, he still used all his strength in this battle.

Upon realizing the Green Ghost Yaksha Ape had truly been slain, all the loose cultivators were filled with overwhelming shock.

They had witnessed a miracle!

Words in their hearts condensed into just two.

"So strong!"

To battle the Green Ghost Yaksha Ape with cultivation at the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment Stage, this alone was enough to instill fear in the loose cultivators.

Yet Chen Nan's face looked somewhat pallid with the flames on his form now dissipated, as his mana was drained thoroughly. It seemed his condition wasn't very good.

Could he have suffered significant injuries during his battle with the Green Ghost Yaksha Ape?

This was the thought in many loose cultivators' minds.

If that were the case, now was the period of Chen Nan's vulnerability!

Greedy hearts once again arose; many eyes glistened with intent.

At this moment, several cultivators were feverishly fanning the flames.

"Chen Nan is already at the end of his strength. This is our chance!"

"Chen Nan is so powerful, he must carry substantial opportunities. Don't you all want them?"

"Go for it, take a gamble!"

With others' encouragement, the loose cultivators finally broke through the last layer of rationality, rushing towards Chen Nan.

Even before they approached, numerous magic attacks fell down.

At the sight of this, Chen Nan was astounded.

He thought slaying the Green Ghost Yaksha Ape could intimidate these loose cultivators, but he underestimated their greed.

Though Chen Nan could leave, he ultimately decided to delay a little longer.

Mo Yan and the others certainly hadn't gone far; if caught up, they would become leverage against him.

Hence, he glared at the approaching loose cultivators, clearly discerning the greed in each person's eyes, releasing a sudden fierce killing intent.

"Since you seek death, I shall grant it!"

Chen Nan directly retrieved over a dozen bottles of elixir pills, pouring them into his mouth madly, their effects quickly dissolving within him, replenishing his mana.

The loose cultivators presumed Chen Nan had suffered injuries, merely toughing it out, unaware he was merely depleted of mana, which would quickly be restored with elixir pills.

Before various magic could fall, Chen Nan executed the Small Shifting Technique, advancing instead of retreating, and directly plunged into the crowd of loose cultivators, the blazing Heaven-Burning Flame rekindling fiercely.

Fists enveloped in flame struck out, a single punch could kill a cultivator, neither spiritual artifacts nor mana shields could withstand his punch, as if paper.

The Dragon Tiger Seal roared, crashing down killing one cultivator after another, with its shockwaves even sending nearby cultivators flying.

In the span of mere breaths, several cultivators perished under Chen Nan's hand.

He now appeared like an unfeeling war god, reaping lives on the battlefield, with blood splattering on his body evaporating in the blink of an eye.

The loose cultivators gathered here ranged from the third layer to the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment Stage, their prowess relatively weak, thus unable to resist Chen Nan's assault.

The loose cultivators finally recognized Chen Nan's formidable strength, enough to slay the Green Ghost Yaksha Ape. How could their puny selves possibly withstand?

How did they foolishly dash up earlier?

Unbeknownst to them, the ones who incited the loose cultivators against Chen Nan were a few direct disciples of the Yunxiao Sect, acting on Xu Wencheng's orders.

Just now, witnessing Chen Nan's dramatic battle against the Ape King didn't satisfy Xu Wencheng, so he wished to have the loose cultivators clash once more with Chen Nan.

After all, these deceased individuals were merely loose cultivators; killing one, still countless others remain, neverending.

"Haha, indeed quite entertaining!"

Some loose cultivators were terrified, witnessing firsthand as comrades had heads shattered by a punch, an immensely shocking sight.

Thus they wished to escape, to turn from this humanoid demon Chen Nan.

For those fleeing, Chen Nan paid no mind, intending only to kill more loose cultivators, to instill fear in them.

Chen Nan did not realize, his furious slaughtering demeanor was spreading widely, thus a title "Flame Demon" emerged in Wuyin Forest.

Mentioning it filled countless loose cultivators with dread.

Fear began spreading, and the loose cultivators fled, but awoke too late, and Chen Nan's killing speed was too quick.

By the time all loose cultivators fled, over a hundred bodies were left on the ground.

"Phew, finally over."

Chen Nan exhaled slowly, after repelling the loose cultivators, he could finally take some well-needed rest, for indeed too much had transpired in recent days, leaving him mentally exhausted.

But suddenly, a deep unease intensified within his heart.

A figure slowly emerged from the shadows, taking a few steps forward, arrived before Chen Nan.

The person was Xu Wencheng!

The loose cultivators fled, the fun certainly ended, so Xu Wencheng prepared to act himself, to kill Chen Nan and complete the task.

Feeling the powerful aura of the person in front, Chen Nan's heart sank immediately.

This aura surpassed both Thunder Wing White Tiger and Green Ghost Yaksha Ape; it was without doubt that of a Golden Core Stage expert!

"Chen Nan, your performance just now was satisfactory, so I'll let you choose your manner of death."

Xu Wencheng uttered, eyes filled with disdain, utterly disregarding Chen Nan.

None rival Golden Core, all are mere ants; this was his mindset now.

"Are you... Xu Wencheng?"

Chen Nan instantly guessed the identity of the figure, there was no other but the third disciple of Master Xuanming, even this scornfulness was inherited.

"Correct, I follow the master's orders to kill you!"

"Old dog Xuanming!"

Chen Nan swore, fury surged in his heart, without hesitation he pointed forward, flames forming an arrow directly targeting Xu Wencheng.

When the arrow got within only an inch of Xu Wencheng's face, it inexplicably stopped.

Then the entire arrow exploded with a bang.

Xu Wencheng wore a leisurely smile, maintaining a superior posture: "Chen Nan, don't think of resisting, you know nothing of the gap between Golden Core Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage."

"That's a chasm you cannot surmount!"
