Dashing Student

"You little bastard, don't think you can escape!"

Xu Wencheng was filled with rage as he watched Chen Nan about to vanish from sight.

Being a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, even at the first level, he was still a genuine powerhouse, akin to the master of a third-rate sect!

Handling a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator should have been an absolute crush, and Chen Nan should have died from his earlier attack!

Yet now, Chen Nan was still lively and even trying to ambush him; this was a provocation to a presumed Golden Core Stage mighty figure!

Throwing the dead Yunxiao Sect disciple to the ground like trash, Xu Wencheng's body slowly began to float upward, surrounded by a gust of wind as he abruptly charged out.

The explosive sound he left behind was deafening!

Several Yunxiao Sect disciples covered their ears, and it was only after Chen Nan and Xu Wencheng had both left that they looked at their companion's corpse on the ground.

A sense of desolation arose in their hearts.

Cultivators with weak strength are as insignificant as ants in the Cultivation World.

At this moment, Chen Nan was fleeing at high speed, his body transforming into a bolt of lightning as he whizzed through the forest. Although his speed was swift, it couldn't last long.

After just a few breaths, he had already traveled over ten miles and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he suddenly heard the sound of explosions coming from behind.

Turning his head back, he saw a rolling dust cloud coming from behind, smashing ancient trees thousands of years old into pieces and leaving a deep trail on the ground.

"Is Xu Wencheng mad?" Chen Nan was shocked and cursed.

He knew they were almost at the edge of the Wuyin Forest's outskirts, and going further would take them into the depths of the forest.

The demon beasts here are at least of the cultivation level of the Green Ghost Yaksha Ape and Thunder Wing White Tiger, with Golden Core Stage beasts being abundant.

Venturing inside could only result in certain death!

But with Xu Wencheng's imposing pursuit from behind, Chen Nan could only grit his teeth and forcibly use his Thunder Wings, once again turning into lightning and rushing forward.

Xu Wencheng was no longer concerned, chasing after him with great momentum, quickly alarming many demon beasts as powerful auras soared into the sky.

Chen Nan and Xu Wencheng, in their chase, soon covered a hundred miles, thoroughly entering the Wuyin Forest's depths, where the powerful auras of demon beasts could be clearly felt.

These beasts each had their own territory, roaring fiercely and driving weaker beasts away, causing even the perimeter demon beasts to become restless.

That day.

The demon beasts throughout Wuyin Forest were roused, and the cultivators still in the forest suffered an unexpected catastrophe.

Like a headless fly, Chen Nan fled, shoving elixir pills into his mouth desperately to barely maintain the Thunder Wings, knowing he would soon exhaust himself this way.

Meanwhile, he had to avoid the powerful demon beasts, quickly leaving the bounds of known maps, finding himself in a place unfamiliar even to him.

Finally, unable to hold on, the Thunder Wings flickered twice before dissipating, and he, propelled by inertia, fell toward a cliff's edge.

The sudden appearance of the cliff in the forest puzzled Chen Nan, as though the earth had split open, forming a bottomless crevice.

What concerned him more was the lack of mighty demon beasts' aura in this direction, which was why he fled here.

He then noticed an eerie cold air emanating from below the cliff, penetrating his bones, nearly freezing his blood.

The abyss below emitted an ominous aura, and since no demon beast dared approach, Chen Nan knew it was a place of grave danger.

Encountering such a place, the best course would be to turn back immediately.

But Chen Nan could no longer leave, as Xu Wencheng had already caught up to him.

This entire chase had alarmed numerous demon beasts, leaving Xu Wencheng fearful, though fortunately, none pursued him.

Right now, he had only one thought: to kill Chen Nan and erase the humiliation!

"Chen Nan, where will you run now? You're nothing but a little bug, ready to be crushed by me!"

With a bottomless, ominous cliff behind and a Golden Core Stage Cultivator in front, any choice seemed like certain death.

Fury surged within Chen Nan as he fiercely glared at Xu Wencheng, "Xu Wencheng, if I survive this, I will claim your life!"

With those words, he hesitated no longer and leapt off the cliff.

At least this way, there was dignity in dying.

"Madman!"

Xu Wencheng stepped forward quickly, only to see Chen Nan's body fall like a leaf, soon engulfed by darkness.

He wanted to pursue, but apprehension about the cliff held him back.

The fact that no demon beast dared come near indicated the danger of this place.

After contemplating for a moment, Xu Wencheng jumped down as well, intending to explore with his Golden Core Stage's ability to fly, but barely descended a hundred meters when a strong suction from below gripped him.

It felt like a terrifying demon beast below was opening a massive mouth!

At the same time, a wave of coldness swept over, making him shiver.

"Hmph, Chen Nan, alive or dead, I won't let you go!"

Leaving that fierce remark, Xu Wencheng immediately flew up the cliff, no longer daring to peer into the abyss.

…

Chen Nan plummeted into the darkness, feeling a force tugging at him from below.

The darkness of the abyss wasn't truly dark, but a black mist, and inhaling a breath felt like his internal organs were freezing.

This coldness seeped into his bones, chilling even his soul.

Falling further, Chen Nan couldn't just give up. With a thought, the Heaven-Burning Flame surged out and enveloped him.

The Thunder Wings quickly reformed on his back, intending to lift him back up.

But just as he had the thought, Chen Nan sensed an overwhelming suction force that even the Thunder Wings couldn't resist.

So Chen Nan changed his mind, diving headfirst into the deep darkness.

Passing through layers of black mist, not even Chen Nan knew how deep he went. The Thunder Wings had long since dissipated, and he occasionally cast a fireball to see if he had reached the bottom.

But each time, the fireball would be swallowed by the mist after falling a few meters.

Habitually casting another fireball, Chen Nan finally saw it land on the ground, realizing he was only about ten feet from the abyss floor.

"Damn!"

He exclaimed and quickly conjured the Thunder Wings to slow his descent but crashed heavily to the ground shortly after.

He didn't know how many of his bones had broken, lying immobile, but as he rejoiced in his survival, numerous ghostly green flames appeared around him.

"What have I gotten myself into?"
