The Ancient Wilderness Forest, the only area cordoned off alone by the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect.

To allow sect disciples to maximize their training, the demon beasts here are the elites of their realm.

Not only are there demon beasts of the Yang Wheel Realm, but also those possessing formidable bloodlines inherited from antiquity.

Upon entering the Ancient Wilderness Forest, Chu Nan dared not slack off for a moment, hunting demon beasts everywhere and then devouring their bloodlines to enhance his cultivation.

Moreover, Kui Guang was beside him to offer guidance, making his understanding of various martial skills deeper and deeper.

In just seven days, Chu Nan successfully broke through to the late stage of the ninth level Martial Dao, getting closer and closer to achieving the Spirit Pill Realm.

However, he did not continue hunting demon beasts to enhance his cultivation, as increasing too quickly could lead to an unstable foundation, requiring consolidation through training or combat, before mustering one final push to break through to the Spirit Pill!

But what Chu Nan did not expect was that just as he was looking for demon beasts to temper his cultivation through combat, he encountered several unexpected guests.

"Chu Nan, what a surprise to meet you here!" A green-robed youth glared at Chu Nan with murderous intent, feeling incredibly delighted.

Seeing the green-robed youth, Chu Nan was a bit surprised, not expecting to meet Lu Qing here.

In the past, when Lu Qing tangled with Gu Nianxue, Chu Nan publicly defeated him, creating enmity. Meeting now would likely not end well.

If it were only Lu Qing, it wouldn't be an issue, but there were three others beside him.

Chu Nan had heard of these people.

The one in white beside Lu Qing was Lu Bai, who was at the nine-layer Martial Dao and an outer sect disciple.

But the other two were not simple. The muscular man with a bare chest was Lu Qiu, an inner sect disciple at the first level of the Spirit Pill Realm.

The black-robed youth leading them was named Lu Sheng, possessing the terrifying strength of the third level Spirit Pill Realm, considered an elite member of the Lu family whom Chu Nan could not defeat by any means.

"Chu Nan, you really are unlucky, always running into enemies." Kui Guang couldn't help but tease Chu Nan.

Chu Nan shook his head with a wry smile, staring intently at the murderous Lu Qing, full of vigilance.

Lu Qing stepped forward, speaking with a threatening tone, "Chu Nan, meeting us here is your fate. The humiliation you caused me back then will be repaid one by one."

"I advise you to cripple your cultivation and beg for mercy on your knees. If you make my elder brothers take action, it won't be as merciful as I am."

This encounter with Chu Nan was purely accidental; he was arranged by his father to follow Lu Sheng and Lu Qiu to train in the Ancient Wilderness Forest.

Chu Nan silently activated his cultivation technique, mocking with his eyes, "Lu Qing, who do you think you are, worthy of having me, Chu Nan, cripple my own cultivation!"

Killing intent surged within him; since enmity had been formed, reconciliation was impossible. Only one side being destroyed would end it.

The black-robed Lu Sheng sneered and laughed, "What a useless Chu Nan, if you don't seize the opportunity, don't blame me."

Then he looked at Lu Bai and said, "Lu Bai, take care of Chu Nan for me!"

Lu Bai sneered and said, "Don't worry, Brother Lu Sheng; I can kill this waste Chu Nan with a single hand."

Then he looked at Chu Nan and said, "Chu Nan, let me make you my offering to achieve the Spirit Pill Realm."

The cultivation Chu Nan showed was only in the early stages of the ninth layer Martial Dao, while Lu Bai had already reached the peak of the ninth layer Martial Dao, entering the Ancient Wilderness Forest to find the opportunity to break through to the Spirit Pill.

Chu Nan's eyes flashed with a harsh light. If Lu Sheng attacked directly, escaping would be extremely difficult.

But if it were Lu Bai, things would be different.

"Lu Bai, you will never step into the Spirit Pill," Chu Nan stated firmly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Bai was furious, charging forward recklessly to kill Chu Nan: "Bastard, I will kill you!"

He stayed at the ninth layer of Martial Dao for years, unable to endure anyone saying he couldn't cross into the Spirit Pill Realm.

His fist, full of overwhelming killing intent, was unleashed. Lu Bai held nothing back, determined to kill Chu Nan here.

Seeing Lu Bai's cruelty, Chu Nan also held nothing back.

"Thunderous Dominating Fist, hundred-fold vibrations!"

Seeing Lu Bai coming to kill, Chu Nan shouted, the long-prepared Thunderous Dominating Fist slammed down with a punch.

Having reached the ninth layer of Martial Dao, Chu Nan's Thunderous Dominating Fist finally achieved a hundred-fold vibration, its power comparable to top-tier martial skills!

Brilliant lightning flashed before his eyes. Lu Bai was shocked, attempting to retreat and evade but it was already too late.

Bang!

Chu Nan's punch penetrated Lu Bai's chest, followed by a lightning explosion, instantly shredding Lu Bai's body into pieces in front of everyone, turning into charred flesh.

"Didn't expect the hundred-fold vibration of the Thunderous Dominating Fist to summon Thunder Power!" Chu Nan was incredibly shocked by this new discovery.

Lu Qing was shocked, mouth agape: "How could this be!"

Lu Qiu's expression was serious; he couldn't have accomplished the feat of killing Lu Bai with one punch, even as a first-level Spirit Pill martial artist.

Lu Sheng, filled with rage, said, "Chu Nan, I'll kill you!"

But after his successful strike, Chu Nan felt no attachment, activating the Soaring Wind Sky-Stepping Technique crazily, with the Wind-Stepping Jade Pendant exerting its full effect.

His figure instantly vanished, in a blink of an eye, he distanced himself by a hundred meters.

Lu Sheng gritted his teeth in fury, burning with anger: "Chase him, don't let him escape!"

Failing to kill Chu Nan this time and letting him escape would be difficult to explain upon returning to the family.

But when Lu Sheng and Lu Qiu began to chase Chu Nan, they were surprised to find that Chu Nan's speed wasn't much slower than theirs.

Clearly, he was only at the ninth layer of Martial Dao, yet could explode with speed that wasn't weak at all compared to Spirit Pill Realm martial artists through the Soaring Wind Sky-Stepping Technique and Wind-Stepping Jade Pendant.

At times, they nearly lost track of him.

"Damn it! Did Chu Nan perfect his body technique martial skill?" Lu Sheng cursed angrily, ashamed.

However, Lu Sheng didn't know that after countless battles with demon beasts over the past few days, coupled with Kui Guang's guidance.

The Soaring Wind Sky-Stepping Technique had already reached perfection, coupled with a solid cultivation foundation and an exquisite Mortal Martial Wind-Stepping Jade Pendant, even Spirit Pill Realm martial artists couldn't catch up for a while.

But even then, Chu Nan was, after all, not a genuine Spirit Pill Realm martial artist.

No matter how fast he was, even if he completely shook off the first level Spirit Pill Lu Qiu, it was futile against Lu Sheng, who was relentless.

The immense gap in cultivation was insurmountable. As Chu Nan's spiritual power dwindled, his speed gradually slowed down.

"Chu Nan, die!" Lu Sheng eagerly swung a palm from several dozen meters away.

Reaching the Spirit Pill Realm means wielding spiritual power outside the body.

Even from afar, his palm turned into a violent wind, hitting Chu Nan.

"Humph!"

Chu Nan grunted, his clothes behind him torn open, revealing a blood-red palm print left by Lu Sheng's strike.

This palm injured him, slowing him down even further.

Lu Sheng, seeing the distance between him and Chu Nan narrowing, couldn't help but laugh: "Chu Nan, you can't escape from me!"

It wasn't long before Lu Sheng finally caught up to Chu Nan.

A palm came down, sending ripples of spiritual power everywhere, causing the surrounding trees to tremble, leaves rustling loudly.

Seeing Lu Sheng coming to kill, Chu Nan without hesitation thrust out a sword to cut towards Lu Sheng.

Clang!

The sound of metal collision echoed around, the sword trembled, nearly slipping from his hand, and Chu Nan staggered back several steps.

Lu Sheng laughed heartily: "Waste, run! I want to see how you plan to escape next!"

Chu Nan didn't speak, instead he gripped his sword tightly, charging at Lu Sheng once more: "Cyan Mountain Sword Technique!"

The perfected Cyan Mountain Sword Technique made the sword shine brilliantly as it cleaved towards Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng sneered coldly, clenched his fist, and punched towards Chu Nan.

Crack!

Sword Qi shattered, the sword was flung aside, and Chu Nan felt his organs swirling madly, utterly painful.

"Chu Nan, I will kill you!" Lu Sheng's expression turned furious, the strike he took wasn't as easy as it appeared.

A hideous gash emerged on his fist, nearly cutting down his fingers, hence solidifying more his resolve to kill Chu Nan.

Chu Nan's thoughts kept spinning; he was thinking of how to escape successfully, not wanting to die at Lu Sheng's hands.

Just then, Kui Guang whispered in Chu Nan's ear: "Follow my instructions; it can delay him for a while!"
