Chapter 1292: A Man's Blood and Guts
"A mere brat, and you dare to speak arrogantly."
Sect Master Han Batian let out a cold laugh, a jet-black Flying Sword slashing towards Chen Nan to block his attack.
"Clang!"
With this strike, the Flying Sword was knocked back, and Chen Nan was also forced to retreat violently.
This Flying Sword had already surpassed the category of a Holy Artifact, being an Immortal Artifact of the Immortal Domain Realm, its power incredibly immense.
Even though Chen Nan's Demon Sword combined with the Sky-cutting Sword Finger, it couldn't manage to injure it.
The Corpse-controlling Sect, after all, being a major sect, Han Batian himself might only have the cultivation of the Heavenly Passage Ten Layers, but this Flying Sword is an heirloom passed down by successive Sect Masters, considered a heavy treasure of the Corpse-controlling Sect. Besides, the true strength of the Corpse-controlling Sect lies not in their own cultivation, but in their combat ability through corpse control.
Otherwise, a sect without strong forces from the Immortal Domain could never compare to a super sect like the Taixuan Taoist School.
"I want to see just how formidable your blood is!"
Han Batian retracted the Flying Sword, rapidly shaking the Copper Bell in his hand rhythmically, instantly producing a crisp ringing sound. The ground below quickly cracked, and shadows shot up from the underground, standing in the void, surrounding Chen Nan completely.
There were a total of five War Corpses, and to everyone's astonishment, these nameless warriors all had a pair of wings on their backs.
Bodies of the Heavenly People Clan!
Even though Chen Nan at this moment was driven by devilish killing intent, a sliver of clarity deep within his Sea of Consciousness made him feel unparalleled shock.
This Corpse-controlling Sect had actually unearthed the bodies of the Heavenly People Clan and refined them into War Corpses!
"Chen Nan, these Five Immortal Corpses had once slain a strong figure from the Immortal Domain thousands of years ago. Today, I want to see if your blood is more formidable or if my Five Immortal Corpses are more powerful." Han Batian shouted loudly, controlling the five War Corpses to launch an attack on Chen Nan.
"I despise these birdmen, damn Immortal Corpses!"
Chen Nan forced a mouthful of fresh blood out using Inner Strength, spraying it around, immediately causing the air to be enveloped in a blood mist, filling the entire Dual World.
With a loud shout, the Dual World expanded rapidly, carrying his blood mist, enveloping all five War Corpses within. Instantly, a tragic scream resounded as the five War Corpses howled, the moment they came into contact with Chen Nan's blood, their bodies emitted green smoke, releasing a particularly unpleasant stench.
"Life and Death Reincarnation, Heaven and Earth Imprisonment!"
Chen Nan rapidly rotated the Dual World, like a gigantic Tai Chi Diagram suspended in the sky.
The five War Corpses were trapped inside. Ordinarily, with Chen Nan's power, he wouldn't be able to imprison them. However, being restrained by his blood, the five War Corpses were suppressed to the point of immobility, only able to emit continuous wails while their wings could not move at all.
Chen Nan wielded the Demon Sword, within the realm of the Dual World, he could traverse space at will, appearing wherever he desired.
He shot a Blood Arrow onto the blade, raising the sword and striking down, severing a War Corpse's head, then punching it out, sending the head flying out of the Dual World, towards Han Batian far away.
"Beast, stop it!"
Han Batian's face turned aghast, at this moment, he finally understood how terrifying Chen Nan's blood was.
Even the Five Immortal Corpses, which could kill strong figures from the Immortal Domain, couldn't withstand the corrosion of his blood, being firmly trapped within the Dual World without the slightest chance to retaliate.
Han Batian urged that jet-black Immortal Artifact Flying Sword, along with two Grand Elders beside him, to launch an attack on Chen Nan, trying to rescue the five War Corpses.
Chen Nan remained indifferent, showing no acknowledgment.
Within this Dual World, he could traverse space at will, no matter how fast the Flying Sword was, it could not match his spatial traversal speed.
He continuously swung the Demon Sword, the Sword Light flickering, filled with Killing Aura, as if chopping melons and vegetables, two more War Corpses' heads flew out of the Dual World.
"Heh heh..."
Compared to the War Corpses, Chen Nan at this moment seemed more like a devil.
He let out a sinister cold laugh, his entire body shrouded in an interwoven black and golden Xuanhuang Qi, in an instant slaughtering three War Corpses, then the space trembled, and he appeared in front of the fourth War Corpse.
"Stop it!"
Han Batian screamed, heartaching beyond measure, desperately urging the Flying Sword.
However, no matter how fast his Flying Sword was, it couldn't catch up to Chen Nan's extreme spatial traversal speed.
Within the Dual World, Chen Nan's speed was unparalleled under Heaven.
"Poof..."
Black foul-smelling Corpse Blood splattered outward, Chen Nan lifted the sword and struck again, slicing another War Corpse into two pieces.
Han Batian and the commanding elder felt an excruciating heartache, nearly going mad.
Finally, before Chen Nan could destroy the last War Corpse, his Immortal Artifact Flying Sword reached within the Dual World, with several meters long edge, stabbed towards Chen Nan head-on.
Chen Nan had already witnessed this Immortal Artifact's power, and he could feel that the previous time, Han Batian was merely blocking his attack, without exerting full strength. Now he struck out in anger, and the power was incomparable to the previous day.
"Kill!"
Chen Nan's left hand activated the Heavenly Mountain Seal, while the right hand used the Sky-cutting Sword Finger to urge the Demon Sword.
"Boom..."
The sky trembled, with Chen Nan's two attacks simultaneously striking the Immortal Artifact Flying Sword, an unmatched energy storm spread out, the Dual World trembled, almost shattering, Chen Nan flew backward some distance, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
The Immortal Artifact's power far surpassed that of a Holy Artifact.
Seizing the moment of success, Han Batian quickly shook the Copper Bell in his hand, wanting to save this last War Corpse.
However, Chen Nan suppressed it with Blood Qi, and the Dual World imprisoned the War Corpse tightly. Then, with a spatial crossover, he appeared near the War Corpse, wielding the Demon Sword for a fierce strike.
"You're courting death!"
Han Batian was furious, and the Flying Sword guarding the warrior beside him struck towards Chen Nan.
Chen Nan's War Intent soared to the heavens, instead of retreating, he advanced, summoning the Ancient Shield with his left hand to block the Immortal Artifact, while the Demon Sword in his right hand slashed down unhesitatingly.
"Poof..."
Corpse Blood splashed, a putrid scent permeating the void, the last War Corpse was slain.
At the same time, Han Batian's Immortal Artifact Flying Sword also struck the Ancient Shield, producing a violent buzzing sound. Though the Ancient Shield remained unbreakable, the mighty force rebounded it, leaving Chen Nan's entire left arm numb, his body flying a hundred meters backward, spurting blood from his throat.
"Little beast, you deserve death!"
Han Batian and the two Grand Elders' faces contorted with fury, glaring at Chen Nan.
The three Heavenly Passage Ten Layer experts surrounded Chen Nan in the center, launching an assault with one Immortal Artifact and two Ten-grade Holy Artifacts, sweeping half the void, bombarding towards Chen Nan.
Chen Nan exploded with all his Primordial Qi, executing the Chaotic First Form.
Yet despite that, he still couldn't withstand this powerful joint attack from the three experts, his body blasted hundreds of meters away, trailing a cascade of blood in the air.
"You wretched brat, meet your end!"
Han Batian roared furiously, once again driving the jet-black Immortal Artifact Flying Sword.
Chen Nan clenched his fists tightly, gritting his steel-like teeth, the devilish killing intent in his heart driving him to madness, leaving only unending hatred.
If I do not avenge this hatred, I am unworthy as a father!
His eyes bloodshot, he once again gathered Inner Strength, crashing towards the Dragon Emperor's Heart within his body.
