Chu Wenrou's body was shaken and flew backwards, crashing into Chen Nan.

Due to her internal organs being torn apart, blood surged inside her, continuously gushing from her mouth, instantly staining the front of her clothes red.

"Sister Rou!"

Chen Nan shouted hoarsely.

The first thing he thought of was the Water of Life.

This magical water had the power to resurrect the dead, and despite Chu Wenrou's severe injuries, as long as she drank three drops, she could definitely be saved.

Thinking of this, Chen Nan's storage ring shook, and three drops of Water of Life flew out, enveloped by his Inner Strength, heading towards Chu Wenrou's mouth. However, at this moment, that Heavenly Passage expert let out a cold laugh, simultaneously driving eight Flying Swords surrounding Chen Nan, coming to attack the two of them.

If the opponent only attacked him, Chen Nan would take a few sword strikes if he had to, just to get the water into Chu Wenrou's mouth.

But the opponent was truly insidious; among the eight Flying Swords, five were aimed at him, while the remaining three were all directed at Chu Wenrou. If he didn't stop his actions, both of them might perish under the Flying Swords.

All eight Flying Swords were First Grade Sacred Artifacts.

Although the opponent's True Essence Power was divided into eight parts, weakening the individual power of each Flying Sword,

with eight Flying Swords attacking simultaneously, the combined power far exceeded the power of a single concentrated attack.

When the opponent attacked with one Flying Sword, Chen Nan was no match.

Now that eight Flying Swords were launched at once, with much greater power than before, Chen Nan stood even less of a chance to withstand them.

With Life and Death Reincarnation Speed utilized to its fullest, Chen Nan barely avoided attacks from three Flying Swords, then shielded Chu Wenrou behind him, right hand holding the Heavenly Punishment Demon Sword, left hand holding the Ancient Shield, combining with the power of the Sky-cutting Sword Finger to block the remaining five Flying Swords.

"Clang!"

The weapons in his hands just managed to block two Flying Swords.

But the remaining three Flying Swords pierced at him directly, fiercely stabbing his chest.

Sparks flew, the sounds of impact echoed, though the Flying Swords couldn't penetrate his Protective Dragon Scales, the invisible Sword Qi erupted and surged into him, severely wounding his organs.

The blood surging to his throat was forcibly swallowed by Chen Nan.

He neither counterattacked nor said a single word of nonsense, took out three more drops of Water of Life, and sent them towards Chu Wenrou's mouth.

But how could the opponent allow his wish, as eight Flying Swords once again attacked the two of them.

Chen Nan's eyes nearly split with rage; Chu Wenrou was hanging by a thread, and if delayed any longer, even the Water of Life might not save her!

Chen Nan barely managed to fend off the attack once more, suffering from extremely serious injuries.

He glared at his opponent, shouting, "You old thief, if anything happens to my Sister Rou, I'll bury your whole family!"

"You yourself are about to die, and yet you speak so arrogantly."

The Heavenly Passage middle-aged man said coldly, once again driving eight Flying Swords, attempting to slaughter Chen Nan and his companion at once.

Seeing the eight Flying Swords come again, although Chen Nan himself was severely injured, he could still withstand several more attacks, but Chu Wenrou, barely breathing, was about to succumb.

Chen Nan was burning with anxiety.

"Old thief, today even if we perish together, I'll take your head!"

The angry roar carried a wild devilish nature, echoing through the Nine Heavens, as Chen Nan channeled all his Inner Strength quickly through his meridians, crashing towards the Dragon Emperor's Heart within him.

"Boom..."

The moment the Inner Strength struck the Dragon Emperor's Heart,

Chen Nan's body felt as if the world was turning upside down; the seal on the Dragon Emperor's Heart was forcibly blasted open a bit, and raging Dragon Essence madly surged out, instantly filling Chen Nan's entire meridians.

"Ugh!"

Chen Nan couldn't help but let out a harsh shriek.

The partially unsealed power in the Dragon Emperor's Heart was too overwhelming for his current Cultivation Realm, causing cracks in all his meridians. If not for his strong Physical Body Cultivation, he might have exploded on the spot.

Enduring the intense pain in his body, Chen Nan's eyes turned red, sweeping his gaze over the surrounding eight Flying Swords; he lifted his palm and struck.

The massive Crack Blue Light Palm swept across the air.

"Crack..."

With a series of shattering sounds, all eight First Grade Sacred Artifact Flying Swords were crushed to dust by Chen Nan in an instant.

With the Dragon Essence power being so immense, Chen Nan's muscles swelled significantly compared to before. He quickly took out three drops of Water of Life, pouring them into Chu Wenrou's mouth, then forced himself to endure the pain, channeling Inner Strength into her to heal her.

Chu Wenrou's complexion swiftly improved, and once she was out of life-threatening danger, Chen Nan stopped infusing Inner Strength.

He glanced at those Corpse-controlling Sect disciples resisting the Chess Dao Soldiers, flicked a finger, and released the Chaos Sword Wave. Like rippling waves of water, it shattered the bodies of seven individuals in an instant.

With these people's deaths, the devilish nature in Chen Nan grew stronger.

The bloodthirsty impulse in his heart seemed to be fueled like adding oil to the fire, with the devilish nature driving him, his murderous aura erupted instantly.

Next, a Buddha Hand Seal blasted out, smashing the remaining people to pieces.

This included the expert of Ten Layers of Heaven.

By forcibly breaking the seal, and with the help of a small amount of Dragon Essence, Chen Nan now possessed the power of the Tongtian Ninth Layer Heaven.

He stared at the only remaining Heavenly Passage middle-aged man, waved a big hand, and a massive Light Palm instantly captured him.

The middle-aged man turned pale: "I didn't expect… you have such powerful sealed strength within you."

"Old thief, go and die!"

Chen Nan's eyes were red, his voice filled with devilishness, as his other hand raised, a massive Light Palm formed in the air, about to strike down on the opponent's forehead.

However, at this moment, a loud shout came from afar—

"Chen Nan, if you dare to kill my disciple, I'll slaughter your woman!"

With the shout, five elders arrived on Flying Swords, the foremost holding a hostage—Yun Fei from the East.

Chen Nan's expression changed dramatically.

These five should be the experts who arrived later, but unexpectedly they were so shameless. He shouted, "You shameless scoundrels, holding a woman who doesn't know martial arts, really bringing glory to the Corpse-controlling Sect!"

"Against a villain like you, what need is there for morality!" the leading elder snorted coldly, pointing at Chen Nan, saying, "I'm not making things difficult for you today, release my disciple and I'll release your woman, how about that?"

Chen Nan endured the excruciating pain from his meridians being assaulted by Dragon Essence, replying, "Of course, but you must release her first. My wife doesn't know martial arts, if I let this dog go and you enact treachery, she won't even have a chance to escape."

The elder sneered, "You're in no position to negotiate with me, otherwise I'll kill her immediately. Then this child in her belly won't survive either; it'll be a double tragedy!"
