Originally, Chu Nan didn't want to get involved, but Kui Guang told him that he would regret it if he didn't rescue Huo Nianfang.

He didn't understand what Kui Guang meant, but he couldn't disregard it.

So, as Huo Nianfang was about to be humiliated, Chu Nan decided to step in and save her, even if it meant killing Zhou Yao and his people.

"You think I can't do anything to you? How utterly arrogant!" Zhou Yao sneered, then said, "The man you just killed was in the same realm as me, yet I could have killed him with just one move!"

"You're only at the fourth level of Divine Illumination Realm. Even if you're a bit capable, you can't possibly be my match."

Zhou Yao was one of the legitimate lineage of the Zhou family who came to Qingxuan Province this time. Although he was the weakest, he could still look down on all Martial Artists in Qingxuan Province!

To him, Chu Nan was just an arrogant, ignorant fool.

If such a fool were in the Imperial Capital, he would have died hundreds of times over by now.

Even the rescued Huo Nianfang frowned. She was grateful for Chu Nan's rescue, but she hadn't expected him to be so oblivious.

After all, Zhou Yao was of the legitimate lineage of the Zhou family; he was not someone an ordinary Martial Artist could compare to.

"Whether I'm a match, we'll only know after the fight." Chu Nan's expression remained calm, and even though Zhou Yao had revealed his own power, there wasn't a ripple in his heart.

He knew that, to ordinary people, challenging the strong families of the Imperial Capital was tantamount to seeking death.

But for Chu Nan, it was business as usual. He had already killed Huo Ba of the Huo family; Zhou Yao was no different!

Though he currently couldn't contend with the strong families, that didn't mean he couldn't in the future.

Zhou Yao was furious. As a Martial Artist of a strong Imperial Capital family, how could he not be enraged being ignored like this?

"Fine! Since you seek death, let me, Zhou Yao, send you off."

"No one can offend the dignity of the strong families of the Imperial Capital!" Zhou Yao's aura instantly became fierce, completely different from before.

A gray flame burned between his eyebrows, causing even Chu Nan's Soul to involuntarily tremble.

"What is this power? It can actually cause my Soul to fluctuate, to feel a sense of longing!" Chu Nan's eyes lit up, and an expectancy rose in his heart.

He felt that maybe the Zhou Yao before him might bring him an extraordinary opportunity.

Huo Nianfang, seeing this, immediately warned Chu Nan: "This is the Soul Flame of the Zhou family, only a few of the legitimate lineages are qualified to use it."

"Once activated, his Power of Spiritual Sense will become extraordinarily strong, capable of directly attacking a Martial Artist's Soul with any released attack, even without touching the body, easily killing the Martial Artist!"

Soul Flame?

Chu Nan's eyes widened, and his Soul trembled with excitement, even making him lick his lips unconsciously.

"Ignorant fool, prepare to die!"

At this moment, Zhou Yao roared, and a longsword appeared in his hand, resonating with the Soul Flame between his brows, as he slashed out a strike.

This strike was like a serene lake suddenly surging with huge waves, roaring towards Chu Nan.

Chu Nan's pupils slightly contracted. Using Wind and Thunder Move, he did not dodge, but approached head-on.

Boom!

The huge waves engulfed Chu Nan. Huo Nianfang closed her eyes, unable to bear watching what would happen next.

Zhou Yao laughed wildly: "Fool, you dare to charge forward. You're simply courting death."

"Taking a direct hit from my Soul Flame, even if he doesn't die, his Soul will be torn to shreds, turning him into a living dead."

Just as Zhou Yao was feeling triumphant, the huge wave suddenly began to tremble, then exploded with a bang!

"Celestial Slayer Fire Bathing Sword!"

Zhou Yao's pupils shrank as he saw Chu Nan burst out from the wave, instantly appearing in front of him, slashing down with a sword.

The flame, like a giant dragon, turned into a sword blade and cleaved down towards him.

"Such a fierce strike!" Zhou Yao hurriedly swung his sword to block, but the clothes on his body were incinerated to dust by the flames.

Chu Nan retreated, staring at Zhou Yao longingly, and said: "Your Soul Flame is impressive. I must have it!"

"Wishful thinking!"

Zhou Yao, disregarding his nakedness, swung his sword again.

Swish swish swish!

In an instant, countless Sword Shadows appeared around them, cutting everything, including grass and trees, in two, infused with the Power of Spiritual Sense.

A force hit Chu Nan, causing a slight tremor in his Sea of Consciousness.

Zhou Yao, seeing that Chu Nan was unharmed, immediately roared: "Let's see how many strikes you can take!"

As his words fell, all the Sword Shadows reversed, transforming into a giant sword that reached the sky.

Even setting aside the Power of Spiritual Sense contained within, just the power of this Sword Qi could easily slay someone at the fifth level of Divine Illumination Realm!

The brilliant Sword Light fell, as if dividing the entire world in two.

Seeing this, Chu Nan's eyes shone brightly. The power of the Soul Flame was even stronger than he had imagined.

"Wind Thunder Blade!"

The fusion of Wind and Thunder Martial Intent released power, as Chu Nan executed Wind Thunder Blade with full force, causing the world's colors to change, even stunning Huo Nianfang, who was trapped in the entrapment net.

If not for Chu Nan's unfamiliar face, Huo Nianfang would have suspected he was a disciple of one of the legitimate lineages of a strong family in the Imperial Capital.

Crack!

The Sword Light was immediately shattered into countless fragments by the Wind Thunder Blade, like snowflakes falling continuously from the sky.

However, seeing this, Zhou Yao was completely unfazed, even showing a sly smile of success on his face.

Though his Sword Qi was indeed strong, the real killing intent was always hidden within the power of Spiritual Sense!

Whoosh!

The falling snowflakes suddenly rushed towards Chu Nan, immediately piercing deeply into his Sea of Consciousness like a rain of arrows.

Even Chu Nan felt a bit of pain at this moment.

Zhou Yao laughed: "Fool, the Soul Flame directly attacks the source of the Soul, unless you are a Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artist, there's absolutely no way to resist this power."

"Your body looks quite good. I've heard the Spirit Corpse Sect is coming. I'll have them turn your body into a Spirit Corpse!"

Seeing Chu Nan get hit, a trace of despair appeared in Huo Nianfang's eyes.

Such a Secret Realm's Soul Attack, with Chu Nan's Cultivation, it's absolutely impossible to block it, unless he has a Soul comparable to the Cloud Sea Realm.

But raising the Soul is extremely difficult, making it impossible for a Divine Illumination Realm Martial Artist to have a Soul of the Extraordinary middle-grade level.

However, just as Zhou Yao was feeling triumphant and Huo Nianfang was in despair, Chu Nan shook his head and said, "Zhou Yao, if this is all there is, I'll be taking your Soul Flame."

Having devoured everything of the Earth Demon Snake King, Chu Nan's Soul had already ascended to Extraordinary middle-grade, comparable to the Cloud Sea Realm.

Zhou Yao's attack, though sharp, couldn't do anything to him.

Yet, the power of the Soul Flame still excited Chu Nan. If he could devour it, perhaps his Soul could be elevated to an incredibly terrifying degree.

"Impossible, how are you still alive!" Zhou Yao's expression changed drastically upon seeing that Chu Nan was unharmed.

He was fully aware of how strong the Soul Flame was. With his Cultivation, he could only use one third of its power, yet it was already invincible within the Divine Illumination Realm.

But Chu Nan, only at the fourth level of Divine Illumination Realm, was completely unscathed.

At that moment, Zhou Yao made the most improbable yet the only explanation: "Could you be a Cloud Sea Realm who has fallen in Cultivation?"

"Is it really that hard to admit you're weak?" Power of wind and thunder surged around Chu Nan, who created countless Residual Shadows and launched his attack at Zhou Yao!

Seeing this, Zhou Yao was terrified, and immediately began chanting an incantation: "Damn, you can't kill me!"

As soon as his words fell, the teleportation net that was originally imprisoning Huo Nianfang turned to encase Chu Nan layer by layer.

Seeing this unfold, Zhou Yao was overjoyed: "Fool, the teleportation net has sealed your Cultivation. Let's see how you fight me now!"
