"Huo Nianfang, encountering the two brothers of the Zhou family, you won't escape today!"

"Even if you have a special physique, you can't withstand our combined strength. This Ghost Camel Peak will be your burial ground."

The youth leading the Zhou family brothers revealed a sneer, his eyes showing a greedy light.

People from the Huo and Zhou families actually clashed with each other.

Chu Nan was slightly surprised and then looked at the two young martial artists pursuing the girl from behind.

The two had ordinary appearances, but their cultivation was extremely profound. Especially after learning their surname was Zhou, Chu Nan couldn't help but take notice.

Before leaving the Spirit Corpse Sect, Sect Leader Chu Lingshan had told him that he had a sea of blood vengeance with the Zhou family, urging Chu Nan to keep an eye on them.

Unexpectedly, he encountered them just like this.

However, despite the circumstances, Chu Nan did not want to get involved in the matter before him.

The Zhou and Huo families were both strong races from the Imperial Capital. To Chu Nan, their fight was like dogs biting dogs.

He planned to observe in secret, wait for one side to die, then capture the Zhou family martial artists to inquire about the current situation.

"Zhou Yao, it's not so easy for you to kill me. Even if it means one of us dying, I, Huo Nianfang, will take you with me!" The girl's face was pale, but her gaze showed determination.

As the Zhou family martial artists drew even closer, Huo Nianfang made her decision.

Escape was no longer possible - only by fighting to the death was there a sliver of hope.

The leader of the Zhou family laughed scornfully, "Take me with you? Huo Nianfang, do you think you have that chance?"

"Now you're heavily injured. Even if you wanted to die, there's no way."

The other Zhou family martial artist said lecherously, "Brother, not only is this Huo Nianfang a peerless beauty from the Imperial Capital, but she has a special physique. If we brothers could dual cultivate with her."

"We would gain tremendous benefits."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yao's eyes lit up, "Indeed, indeed!"

"Killing her would be such a waste. First, let's dual cultivate with her and then see if we can seize the foundation of her special physique."

"Finally, throw her corpse at the doorstep of the Huo family to thoroughly disgrace them!"

Though Huo Nianfang was young, she was very famous.

At fifteen, she was at the fifth level of the Divine Illumination Realm, possessing a special physique, the Cyan Lotus Battle Body. Although she didn't have the Huo family bloodline, her status in the Huo family was quite respectable.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have had the opportunity to explore the Heaven-Shaking Secret Realm with the family elders in the Qingxuan Province.

"Wishful thinking. If that's the case, I'd rather die right now!" Huo Nianfang completely abandoned hope of survival, spiritual power surging throughout her body, and her Dantian began to expand.

From a distance, Chu Nan immediately judged that Huo Nianfang intended to self-destruct her cultivation.

His eyes revealed a complex expression.

Most of the Imperial Capital martial artists Chu Nan had seen were bullies and cowards.

But it was the first time he'd seen such a resolute girl as Huo Nianfang.

Though he admired her somewhat, Chu Nan had no intention of rescuing anyone.

By now, his grievances with the Huo family were irreconcilable. Even if he saved her, the Huo family might not make peace, and Huo Nianfang might even turn against him.

Rather than take risks, it was better to watch their fight, and only act after one side was dead.

Zhi Qingge, although she usually liked to do good and save others, her Zhi family had been destroyed by the strong races of the Imperial Capital working together, so she naturally had no goodwill and even less intention to intervene.

Just as Chu Nan planned to hide in the dark with Zhi Qingge, Kui Guang instead said, "Chu Nan, if you don't save this Huo Nianfang, you'll regret it later."

"Regret?" A trace of confusion flashed in Chu Nan's eyes as he was about to ask why he would regret it when he was interrupted by a cry of pain.

Looking up, he saw Huo Nianfang, who was about to self-destruct, firmly trapped in a large net in mid-air, her entire cultivation sealed instantly, and her delicate body smashed heavily on the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Zhou Yao laughed proudly, "Huo Nianfang, my Secret Treasure Heaven-Trapping Net can trap all martial artists of the same realm as me. In your heavily injured state, don't even think of escaping within an hour!"

"Brother, let's quickly completely seal Huo Nianfang's cultivation. Once we do, she will have no ability to resist," the other Zhou family martial artist said excitedly.

Inside the Heaven-Trapping Net, Huo Nianfang's face showed humiliation. She hadn't expected to be defeated here.

The two Zhou family members slowly approached the trapped Huo Nianfang, intending to seal her cultivation and take her away.

Their bodies were not yet there, but the voice had already arrived.

A cold snort came, "Let her go, or die!"

Chu Nan transformed into a Wind and Thunder Shadow, crashing into Zhou Yao and the others with an extremely aggressive stance, then stood in front of Huo Nianfang.

Zhou Yao and his companion stabilized their bodies. Huo Nianfang stared at Chu Nan, her eyes showing disbelief.

She had never seen Chu Nan before, and didn't understand why he would appear to save her.

"Fellow Daoist, don't worry about me. They are from a strong race of the Imperial Capital. You are no match for them." Huo Nianfang knew she was doomed, but she didn't want innocent people dragged down because of her.

At this time, Zhou Yao snorted coldly, "A brat who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth dares to interfere in my affairs. Kill him!"

He didn't regard Chu Nan at all, seeing him as an irrelevant obstacle.

The other Zhou family martial artist showed a ferocious expression and slashed his sword at Chu Nan.

Exerting the full strength of the fifth level of the Divine Illumination Realm, just as Huo Nianfang thought Chu Nan would be split in two by the sword, Chu Nan moved.

Aura erupted like a volcanic roar, his Blood Pattern Sword glowing with wind and thunder colors, slicing out with the momentum.

Wind and thunder intertwined, wild winds carrying thunder roared away.

"Wind Thunder Blade!"

The Zhou family martial artist was shocked, feeling a strong life-and-death crisis from this sword, immediately trying to retreat.

The reverse wind and thunder made it hard for him to escape.

Crash!

The wind blade tore, thunder exploded, and the Zhou family martial artist's flesh and blood shattered instantly, spewing blood as he flew backward.

After crashing heavily to the ground, his body trembled a few times before becoming completely silent.

With one sword, he killed a fifth-level Divine Illumination Realm!

Zhou Yao witnessed this scene, frowning deeply with a strong killing intent in his eyes.

Huo Nianfang was also incredulous; she hadn't thought anyone would dare to kill a Zhou family martial artist, let alone with just one sword!

It seemed Chu Nan was only at the fourth level of the Divine Illumination Realm. Could he be hiding his cultivation?

Zhou Yao gave Chu Nan a deep look, then said, "Do you know how much trouble you caused?"

"Killing my Zhou family martial artist, within the Celestial Crossing Realm, there's no place for you to hide!"

"Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, my Zhou family will crush your bones and scatter your ashes, and your family, mentors, and sect members will join you in the grave."

Facing Zhou Yao's threat, Chu Nan merely smiled faintly.

Imperial Capital martial artists thought they were naturally superior, with an ego beyond measure, disregarding everyone else, believing that their background was everything.

But Chu Nan always looked down on them - to martial artists, strength was everything.

"So you're from the Imperial Capital Zhou family, a real pleasure to meet you."

"The Zhou family is indeed strong, but you alone can't do anything to me!"
