Chapter 1421: Grilled Demon Meat
When Chi Yu heard Chen Nan's words, he was quite infuriated.
He considered himself not weak. While not the top genius in the Demon Clan, he was definitely ranked among the younger generation. Yet now, Chen Nan showed him such disdain.
How hateful, how infuriating!
The more Chi Yu thought about it, the angrier he became. He had already made up his mind to slay Chen Nan and vent this anger!
Chen Nan glanced at him and said, "Beast, are you unconvinced?"
"Madman, you're asking for trouble!"
Chi Yu, burning with rage, raised the big spear in his hand and thrust it at Chen Nan's throat.
Chen Nan didn't dodge or avoid it. Summoning the Golden Phoenix Wing Mace, he slashed upward diagonally. With a clang, the Phoenix Wing Mace struck the spear shaft. Without a doubt, the big spear's direction was skewed, and the attack was naturally neutralized.
Chi Yu's face changed dramatically. Only upon this initial exchange did he immediately sense Chen Nan's power.
As the saying goes, 'The sword is the commander of weapons, the spear the rogue among weapons!'
The term 'rogue' doesn't imply that those who wield spears are dishonorable. It's not the meaning. Instead, it describes how spear techniques are versatile and cunning, relying mainly on speed and surprise, and thus don't demand much strength.
Generally speaking, except for some special cases, those who wield spears are usually not known for their strength.
Even though the previous move was inconclusive, Chi Yu already felt his arm going numb. He quickly retreated two steps, pondering to himself that since Chen Nan was strong, he would use cunning moves to win.
Determined, Chi Yu let his spear fly in all directions like a lively dragon, demonstrating the utmost flexibility of the spear by stabbing left and right, never allowing a collision with Chen Nan's weapon. He knew all too well that any clash would surely put him at a disadvantage.
Five moves passed quickly. Chi Yu hadn't even touched Chen Nan's sleeve, nor had Chen Nan managed to subdue him.
Chi Yu sneered inwardly, thinking, You boasted of taking my life in ten moves, but it seems you can't defeat me even in a hundred!
"Chen Nan, I thought you were something formidable, but it turns out you're just so-so!"
"Since you're so eager to die, let me fulfill your wish!" As Chen Nan spoke, he lifted the Phoenix Wing Mace with a breeze-like grace and said, "With this mace, I'll break your weapon."
"Hmph, such shameless boasting..."
Chi Yu didn't even finish the word "boasting" before his face changed drastically with fear.
Because Chen Nan had already swung the Phoenix Wing Mace, and its speed was so fast that Chi Yu almost couldn't react.
Chi Yu knew his strength was no match for Chen Nan's, so he didn't dare to block and tried to dodge to the side. Thinking he could avoid it, he was frightened out of his wits when he looked up, as the Phoenix Wing Mace followed him like a shadow, changing direction swiftly to strike again.
Panicked, Chi Yu had no time to evade further.
He hastily raised his big spear, gripping the shaft with both hands, and at once met the Phoenix Wing Mace in a clash.
"Clang!"
A deafening sound rang out.
Chi Yu felt his arms go numb, and his vision darkened as the shock tore the skin between his thumbs and index fingers, drawing blood.
The big spear in his hands happened to be struck by the sharp blade of the Phoenix Wing Spear, snapping it into two pieces. Fortunately, Chi Yu retreated in time; otherwise, his head would have been split open as well.
Although he narrowly escaped with his life, Chi Yu was so frightened he drew a cold breath, breaking out in a cold sweat.
It was only now that he realized Chen Nan had been toying with him earlier, not using his actual skills at all.
Seeing the panic-stricken Chi Yu, Chen Nan coldly laughed and said, "With this mace, I'll sever your right arm."
Chi Yu broke out in cold sweat, looking at the two-piece gun shaft in his hands, which could only be used like a club, swinging it felt awkward. Seeing the Phoenix Wing Mace coming down at him, he didn't dare to resist, desperately trying to dodge.
But who knew Chen Nan was feinting.
As Chi Yu dodged, Chen Nan retracted his mace and, with the speed of lightning, stabbed toward Chi Yu's right arm.
Previously mentioned, the two sides of the sharp edge of the Phoenix Wing Spear had crescent-shaped side blades. Chen Nan's strike landed the crescent blade right on Chi Yu's right arm. With a 'puff' sound, blood splattered, causing half an arm to fly off, turning into a red wing in the sky before falling to the ground.
Chi Yu let out a wretched scream, throwing away the broken spear pieces in his hands, spread his arms, and transformed into the original form of the Demon Clan—a large fiery red bird.
This bird was known as the Flame Bird, standing two meters tall. When it opened its beak to call, the sound was extremely piercing.
Unfortunately, with an arm cut off, only the left wing remained, looking extremely pitiful.
"You'll die!"
The Flame Bird spat human words, opening its beak to spew a fierce flame at Chen Nan.
At this moment, it was deep winter. The arena's surroundings were originally covered in white snow, but with this wave of fire, snow within tens of meters melted instantly, showing just how high the temperature was.
Chen Nan stood unmoved like a mountain. As the flames attacked, he merely released his Protective Gang Qi.
The Gang Qi was only to protect his clothes from burning because his martial body was totally unafraid of such flames.
"With this mace, I'll take your life!"
Amidst the flames, Chen Nan raised the Golden Phoenix Wing Mace and walked forward step by step.
Chi Yu was greatly shocked and quickly turned to flee.
Despite having just one wing left, his cultivation still allowed him to fly and at a considerable speed.
Chen Nan jumped up, stepped forward with the Slaughter God Seven Steps, and chased after him.
He didn't use the Dual World Extreme Speed because he had declared earlier that he wouldn't use any Divine Power Laws, only pure martial arts to kill.
Chen Nan stepped through the void, each step spanning several meters. In just four steps, he caught up to Chi Yu and mercilessly struck down on his head with his mace.
Although Chi Yu also had the cultivation of Tongtian's Second Layer, his techniques were far inferior to Chen Nan's. His slightly slower dodge resulted in being struck from the head down, smashing half of his body as the remains fell to the ground.
Chen Nan activated the Dual World, pursued, and chopped off the bird's leg and wing, bringing them back to the arena.
He tossed the bird leg and wing onto the stage, laughing heartily, "Everyone must be hungry, right? This beast brought us food to eat, just right for roasting. I bet it tastes good."
There was a burst of laughter atop Hua Mountain. Chen Nan's earlier moves truly did the Martial World proud.
Some Little Demons who had come with Chi Yu were so frightened by Chi Yu's tragic demise that they shivered all over, sneaking out of the crowd, attempting to flee.
As a result, with a buzzing sound, six of them were forced back to their original forms, crashing lifelessly to the ground. Only one was left alive, which Chen Nan spared to go back and report to the Demon Clan.
Chen Nan looked at Hua Xian'er and said, "Next, it's your turn."
Hua Xian'er smiled, forming seals and chanting incantations.
The Fire Element spread outwards from the bird leg and wing, soon roasting them to a golden hue, oil dripping down, the aroma enticing.
Chen Nan cut a piece from the bird leg, exclaiming how delicious it was.
The entire summit of Hua Mountain resounded with cheers. Others likewise took the Little Demon bodies to roast and share among themselves.
Chi Yu had come to Hua Mountain seeking trouble and showing off, but instead, ended up being eaten by them. If the Demon Clan experts were to witness this scene, they would be fuming with rage.
