Boom!

A light shield suddenly exploded around Huo Ba, and its dispersing power tore through the surrounding land.

Even the Dragon Slaughter Tower shook incessantly, eventually flying back into Chu Nan's hand.

Huo Ba quickly got up, surrounded by golden transparent armor, and lunged towards Chu Nan like a savage beast.

"Heaven-Shocking Thunder Spear!"

Chu Nan retracted the Dragon Slaughter Tower, and a long lightning spear shot out like a rainbow towards Huo Ba.

Clang!

The Heaven-Shocking Thunder Spear struck Huo Ba, instantly sparking a burst of flames.

"Useless!"

Huo Ba laughed heartily, opened his palms, and the illusory armor covering his body extended a large hand towards Chu Nan.

Wind and thunder surged; Chu Nan's body traced residual shadows, and with a hand slash, a Wind Thunder Blade swept across the sky, landing on Huo Ba.

Tear!

Huo Ba's armor was torn apart by the Wind Thunder Blade, but quickly restored itself.

"Chu Nan, today you will definitely die!" Huo Ba combined his palms, and the illusory large hand attacked from both sides.

Crack!

With both palms united, Chu Nan was caught in the middle, emitting a sequence of cracking sounds.

Huo Ba laughed and said: "Chu Nan, I will crush you alive into meat paste, die for me."

After speaking, Huo Ba continued to manipulate the illusory large hand, incessantly attacking Chu Nan at its center.

Everyone's faces showed horror and worry, as if Chu Nan was really defeated by Huo Ba!

If Chu Nan died, how could Huo Ba spare everyone in the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect?

Swoosh!

Just when everyone was in despair, a purple stream of light soared into the sky, disappearing at the horizon.

Crack!

Huo Ba screamed miserably, his palms had two gaping wounds, and his illusory giant hand was inexplicably severed at the wrist.

Chu Nan slowly walked out, purple light shimmering at his brow, like a fiercely burning purple flame.

"This is... the Celestial Eye, you actually have the Celestial Eye!" Huo Ba shrieked, utterly incredulous.

Though he did not know what Celestial Eye Chu Nan possessed, he understood the power of the Celestial Eye.

"Truly a practitioner from the Imperial Capital, indeed perceptive."

"In that case, let you die under my Celestial Eye."

Chu Nan held the Yin Evil Spirit Pearl, and after absorbing it, the purple light of the Yin Evil Celestial Eye became even more dazzling.

"Yin Sha Tribulation Light!"

An intense light flashed in the Celestial Eye, and the Yin Evil Qi transformed into a purple stream of light, directly penetrating the void, aiming at Huo Ba.

"You can't kill me!" Huo Ba shouted, the illusory hand regrew, even manifesting a giant sky-conquering cudgel to smash towards Chu Nan.

Tear!

The Yin Sha Tribulation Light burst forth, flashing before everyone's eyes, leaving no trace of dust in its wake.

Yet all of Huo Ba's creations were severed and shattered by the Yin Sha Tribulation Light.

"How could this be!" His right arm snapped seven times, not even shedding a drop of blood.

Huo Ba's eyes widened, his entire body trembling in fear.

Chu Nan absorbed another Yin Evil Spirit Pearl, step by step moving towards Huo Ba.

Huo Ba stared at Chu Nan's brow, speaking in terror: "Chu Nan, you can't kill me, I'm a descendent of the Strong Race from the Imperial Capital!"

Chu Nan impatiently said: "Your kind of people have no creativity when begging for mercy, why is it always the same, calling out your background instead of saying anything else?"

As his words fell, the Yin Evil Celestial Eye mercilessly shot out another light.

In the blink of an eye, the Yin Sha Tribulation Light pierced through Huo Ba's brow, splitting the building behind him in two.

Huo Ba's eyes widened, even though his brow had been pierced, he dared not believe Chu Nan truly dared to kill him.

Chu Nan regretfully looked at the great hall ruined by the Yin Sha Tribulation Light, murmuring: "The power of the Yin Sha Tribulation Light is even stronger than I imagined; this strike could likely kill a Divine Illumination Realm seventh layer."

"The pity is, my Yin Evil Celestial Eye cannot spontaneously generate Yin Evil Qi, it must rely on Yin Evil Spirit Pearls."

"Looks like I need to head to the Cyan Profound Martial Academy to retrieve the Celestial Eye Fruit at the Meditation Cliff..."

Killing Huo Ba was but a trivial matter for Chu Nan.

After the battle concluded, Chu Nan returned to his usual self, put on his cloak, and sheathed the Blood Pattern Sword.

He approached Chen Kaiyang's side, bowing: "Disciple pays respects to Master!"

Chen Kaiyang nodded in satisfaction but still said: "When a disciple surpasses his master, your courtesy, I can hardly accept."

Yet Chu Nan humbly replied: "A day as a master, a lifetime as a master; even if I reach the Cloud Sea Realm, you remain my master."

Back in the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect, Chen Kaiyang helped Chu Nan greatly, and he would never forget this.

Those around looked at Chu Nan with eyes full of reverence.

A Divine Illumination Realm Martial Artist, one who dared to kill martial artists of the Strong Race from the Imperial Capital, not only possessing strength but also audacity.

This alone earned him everyone's fear and respect.

Chen Kaiyang was very pleased with Chu Nan's humble attitude, then he looked at Wan Qing and said: "Chu Nan, how should we deal with this Wan Qing?"

Wan Qing's Cultivation had been crippled, and seeing that Huo Ba was killed, he was endlessly terrified.

He crawled and knelt before Chu Nan, saying: "Chu Nan, spare my life, spare my life, I'll leave the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect now and ensure you never see me again."

However, Chu Nan's eyes flashed with killing intent: "During the Sect's crisis, Wan Qing betrayed the Sect for personal gain; what use is there in keeping such a person?"

With a casual flick, a Sword Qi was sent out, instantly beheading Wan Qing.

"Master, if there are more like Wan Qing, do not show any mercy, just kill directly. If you can't, I will do it for you!"

Killing Wan Qing was not only to punish him but to serve as a warning to others.

Now the Qingxuan Province is unstable, and due to his actions, the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect might face destruction at any time.

At such a time, it needed to show what the cost of betrayal was.

Even if you find a backer, if I, Chu Nan, want to kill you, I will!

After Chu Nan communicated with the elders of the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect and Chen Kaiyang, he ultimately decided to stay in the Sect.

If the elders and disciples were dispersed, they might not need an enemy to attack; the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect would fall apart on its own.

Moreover, once they left, the large Sect would definitely attract unsavory opportunists.

But with the power of Chen Kaiyang and others, it was impossible to handle any danger, so Chu Nan left the Sword Puppet, Axe Puppet, and six other Puppets, along with a large number of spirit stones to Chen Kaiyang.

These were enough for the eight Puppets to combine once, unleashing Cloud Sea Realm level power.

With the strength of these Puppets, as long as a Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artist doesn't attack, the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect will be safe.

Although Chu Nan lost a great advantage, he was not too concerned.

He couldn't always rely on external forces for battle; these Puppets would eventually be discarded, and now it just happened a bit sooner.

Chu Nan didn't leave immediately; he needed to prepare for his next venture to Pingyuan County.
