"Senior Brother Li, first cut off Chu Nan's legs so he can never stand again!" Chu Miao spoke with disdain towards Chu Nan, mercilessly.

Upon hearing this, Chu Nan's expression turned grave, as his nemesis was right before him, yet he was utterly powerless.

It was the same when facing Chu Han, and now with Li Jianfei.

He never wanted to experience this feeling of being controlled and unable to resist again, but even though he was unwilling, he was powerless against a Spirit Pill Realm Martial Artist.

"I have the Nine Desolate Profound Transformation scripture. Given time, I can surely soar to great heights and uncover the truth of my parents' disappearance."

"How can I die here, die here!"

Chu Nan shouted in his heart, his eyes showing determination.

As long as he doesn't die, there's hope. He planned to explode his dantian and Emperor level martial vein to push back Li Jianfei, and then use this gap to take Gu Nianxue and escape!

Chu Nan didn't want to use this move, but faced with such a desperate situation, he had no choice.

Li Jianfei's expression was cold, the longsword he raised was ready to fall at any moment.

Chu Nan also gathered all his strength, preparing to explode his martial vein and cultivation for a desperate struggle.

At this critical moment, an incomparably icy aura suddenly emanated from Chu Nan's chest.

A frightful aura of cold, desolation, and sharpness... spread out with Chu Nan at its center.

"What's happening!"

Suddenly, Chu Nan felt like an invisible sharp sword pierced his chest, the sensation of being cut a thousand times made him wish for death.

Boom!

A wave of sword qi rippled out in all directions, forcing Chu Miao and Li Jianfei back several meters simultaneously.

The force suppressing Chu Nan disappeared, and he painfully tore open his clothes, discovering that the teardrop-shaped pendant hanging from his neck was melting at a speed visible to the naked eye, eventually transforming into a small sword tattoo the length of a palm.

"This is the pendant I got from Liu Cai, how did it become like this?" Chu Nan exclaimed in disbelief.

This pendant was obtained from Liu Cai after he recovered his cultivation and killed him. Because it was so sturdy, he suspected it was made of precious artifact refining materials and kept it on him, not expecting it to transform into this form.

Chu Miao clearly sensed that something miraculous was happening to Chu Nan, and with a vicious expression, he shouted, "Senior Brother Li, there's something wrong with Chu Nan, quickly kill him for me!"

Li Jianfei also had a grave expression. With higher cultivation than Chu Miao, his senses were sharper.

He clearly sensed that something particularly terrifying seemed to be awakening within Chu Nan.

The longsword decisively slashed out, raising a boundless gale. This strike was the full strength of Li Jianfei, and even a Martial Artist of the same Spirit Pill Realm level would find it hard to escape death!

But Chu Nan showed no fear towards this strike, the small sword tattoo suddenly poured out a large amount of pitch-black sword qi throughout his body, making his whole being boil.

Just now, the sword qi that rendered him almost powerless seemed utterly fragile in Chu Nan's eyes.

Chu Nan merely waved his hand lightly, and a pitch-black sword qi burst from his palm.

A "crack" was heard, and the sword qi slashing at Chu Nan snapped instantly, reverting to its original form of spiritual energy.

"How is this possible!" Li Jianfei exclaimed in disbelief, unable to believe what he was witnessing.

Suddenly, as Chu Nan glanced at him, Li Jianfei felt as if he had fallen into an abyss, his whole body chilling to the extreme, as if an invisible hand gripped his heart, ready to take his life at any moment.

Seeing Li Jianfei frozen, Chu Miao hysterically roared, "Li Jianfei, what are you doing, hurry and kill Chu Nan!"

"Die!"

Chu Nan's eyes were like lightning as he lightly uttered a word, and then sword qi surged all over his body. The pitch-black sword qi covered the sky, turning the entire sky into a shade of black.

Whoosh!

Chu Nan suddenly launched an attack, his body seemingly transforming into a pitch-black sharp sword!

In just a breath, he appeared in front of Li Jianfei, his forefinger slashing mercilessly like a sharp sword.

Under the pressure of a life-and-death crisis, Li Jianfei snapped back and tried to raise his sword in defense.

But he was already too late!

Swoosh!

A pitch-black sword qi accompanied Chu Nan's movement, passing through Li Jianfei's neck.

Under Chu Miao's horrified gaze, Li Jianfei's head flew to the ground, rolling with a thud to his feet.

Chu Miao could even see Li Jianfei's eyes, widened in fear and disbelief, before he died.

"How can this be!" The scene before his eyes scared Chu Miao soulless, unable to comprehend how Chu Nan had suddenly become so powerful.

Li Jianfei was a Spirit Pill Realm Martial Artist, yet he was killed by Chu Nan with a single finger!

Suddenly, shocked back to his senses, Chu Miao realized Chu Nan's deadly gaze was fixed upon him, and without hesitation, he turned and fled, wanting to escape this place.

But the killing intent in Chu Nan's eyes almost materialized, there was no way he would let Chu Miao escape.

Before Chu Miao could fully turn around, Chu Nan had already blocked his path.

Seeing Chu Nan's appearance, fear consumed Chu Miao to the extreme, but soon he calmed down, saying, "Chu Nan, how dare you kill me?"

"I am Chu Han's son, the patriarch of the Chu family. If you kill me, you will be making an enemy of the entire Chu family. My father and my second brother will not let you go!"

"Do you want to end up like your parents, dying a miserable death?"

Even at this moment, Chu Miao thought he could use the Chu family to suppress Chu Nan.

But Chu Nan paid no heed. With a single hand, he pointed, and two sword qi burst from his fingertip, piercing Chu Miao's knees.

Bang!

Chu Miao's legs lost strength, and he immediately knelt on the ground.

"You must die today!" Chu Nan said mercilessly, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

This time, Chu Miao was utterly terrified, quickly begging for his life, "Chu Nan, we are from the same clan, you can't kill me!"

Chu Nan scoffed mockingly, "Same clan, you dare speak to me of being the same clan?"

"If you truly considered me part of the clan, today would never have happened!"

Swish swish swish!

Chu Nan continuously pointed his sword fingers, with sword qi piercing through Chu Miao's body like a storm.

Screams of agony echoed all around, scaring the Demon Beasts hidden nearby into a terrified stampede, almost causing a beast tide.

"Chu Nan, you useless wretch, you dare kill me..."

A few breaths later, Chu Miao's body was almost reduced to pulp by the sword qi, finally collapsing to the ground with a thud.

Up until the moment of death, Chu Miao couldn't believe that Chu Nan truly dared to kill him.

With Chu Miao's death, the sword qi around Chu Nan slowly dissipated. Although he still didn't understand much about this power, at that moment, he was too busy to care.

He walked over to Gu Nianxue, carrying his exhausted body that was now weakened by the dissipating sword qi.

Due to severe injuries and blood loss, Gu Nianxue had already fainted without him knowing.

Seeing her still bleeding wounds, Chu Nan couldn't care less anymore, tearing open the tattered clothes on her chest, revealing a large expanse of snow-white stained with blood.

But Chu Nan was oblivious, at that moment, he only wanted to do everything he could to save Gu Nianxue's life.

He retrieved the Xiaoquan Sword that had been knocked away earlier, using the blade to cut his palm open, allowing the Treasure Blood full of spirituality to flow from his wound, finally dribbling onto Gu Nianxue's wound.

"The Treasure Blood can reform my martial veins and heal my dantian; it must also be able to restore Gu Nianxue's injuries."
