The fluctuations of Chu Nan's breakthrough to the Spirit Pill erupted, catching the attention of Lu Qing and Lu Qiu nearby.
They thought some ruins had opened up, so they eagerly came, hoping to find an opportunity to strengthen themselves.
Chu Nan observed from the shadows for a long time and noticed Lu Sheng did not appear. His heart quickly made a judgment.
"When Lu Sheng was hunting me down, he must have been separated from them completely."
"This is good. I've just entered the Spirit Pill Realm, so I might as well use the two of them to consolidate my cultivation."
The Lu family members were essential to be killed, facing such enemies, Chu Nan would not be merciful. Given the chance, he would eradicate them to prevent future troubles!
However, Chu Nan did not intend to ambush them. As a Spirit Pill Martial Artist, if he resorted to an ambush against such opponents, it would be too cowardly.
So, when Lu Qing and Lu Qiu focused on searching for opportunities, Chu Nan boldly stepped out.
"Chu Nan!" Lu Qing was the first to notice Chu Nan. Initially surprised, he then said excitedly, "So you were hiding here."
Lu Qiu, however, scrutinized Chu Nan with a watchful gaze, then asked, "Chu Nan, did you find the opportunity here already?"
Lu Qing's eyes brightened. If Chu Nan knew the location, it would save them a lot of effort.
So he directly threatened, "Chu Nan, obediently hand over the opportunity here and kneel to apologize, otherwise, don't blame my brother and me for being ruthless!"
Chu Nan stared at Lu Qing with a playful gaze, "With your cultivation, you dare speak such big words in front of me?"
Lu Qing felt a chill under Chu Nan's gaze. He looked at Lu Qiu and said, "Brother Lu Qiu, go on, kill this guy!"
Lu Qiu took a step forward, the aura of the first level of the Spirit Pill erupted. He said coldly, "Since you don't want to hand it over, I'll have to take it myself."
Seeing Lu Qiu preparing to fight, Chu Nan also unleashed his cultivation, the Spirit Pill Realm cultivation surging, startling both Lu Qing and Lu Qiu.
"Chu Nan broke through to the Spirit Pill Realm, how could it be so fast!" Lu Qing clenched his teeth in hatred, envious of Chu Nan's breakthrough.
After all, he was much older than Chu Nan, yet not even at the eighth level of Martial Dao.
Lu Qiu's expression was first grave, then he sneered, "You're merely a newcomer to the Spirit Pill Realm, how could you be my opponent!"
"Well, let me dig out your Inner Core alive and exchange it for cultivation resources."
"Intermediate Martial Skill, Flying Eagle Claw!"
With that, Lu Qiu leaped into the air, extending his arms, transforming his hands into talons like a hunting eagle diving towards Chu Nan.
At this moment, his eyes became incredibly sharp, filled with killing intent and frenzy.
Facing such might, Chu Nan merely shook his head in disappointment. Both at the first level of Spirit Pill, Lu Qiu was too weak.
He even felt that he could easily kill him even before his breakthrough.
"Thunderous Dominating Fist, Resonance Fifty!" In one breath, Chu Nan completed fifty resonations, much faster than before.
Boom!
Chu Nan's fist clashed with Lu Qiu's claw, producing a series of booms.
Lu Qiu's expression changed slightly. His Flying Eagle Claw usually crushed stones, but now it couldn't even harm Chu Nan, and instead, his own arm was faintly in pain.
Unwilling, Lu Qiu stepped back, then attacked again.
"Advanced Martial Skill, Throat-locking Claw!" Lu Qiu's hands seemed like iron, producing a piercing wind as they sliced through the air.
Watching from the sidelines, Lu Qing wore a proud look. Lu Qiu's move was incredibly vicious, having often brought people to their deaths.
Chu Nan neither dodged nor retreated, allowing the claw to grasp him.
Lu Qiu's five fingers soon clasped Chu Nan's throat. He immediately exerted force, intending to crush his throat, only for his heart to tremble.
He felt as if his hand caught hold of iron, and no matter how hard he tried, it wouldn't budge.
Chu Nan stared coldly at Lu Qing, "You're too weak!"
His physical body was exceptionally powerful, making it impossible even for a fellow Spirit Pill Martial Artist like Lu Qiu to move him.
"Thunderous Dominating Fist, Resonance Eighty!"
Crack!
A flash of lightning, Chu Nan unleashed another explosive punch. Lu Qiu, being up close, couldn't evade it and took the blow solidly, his body flying out like a kite with a broken string.
Not far away, Lu Qing was utterly stunned by this sight. Not even in battles between Lu Sheng and Lu Qiu had victory been so easily obtained.
For a moment, Lu Qing felt a chill down his back, ignored Lu Qiu, and turned to flee.
Chu Nan tapped his Storage Ring, and a sword fell into his hand, known as the Red Peak Sword, an excellent Mortal Martial weapon!
Back during the Wind and Cloud Ranking battle platform confrontation with Wu Fen, Chu Nan had seized two Mortal Martial weapons, including this one.
"Running is futile. In my eyes, you're already dead!"
"Cyan Mountain Sword Technique!"
Chu Nan revealed his killing intent, the Red Peak Sword slicing through the air, brilliant sword Qi like a crescent moon rushing towards the two.
After breaking through the Spirit Pill, the Cyan Mountain Sword Technique had reached perfection, allowing for casting sword Qi across space.
Seeing even from dozens of meters away, the sword Qi exuding endless power, Lu Qiu was instantly terrified.
His figure flickered, catching up to the escaping Lu Qing, saying, "Good brother, help your brother one last time—repay you in the next life!"
Then he grabbed Lu Qing and tossed him backward.
"Lu Qiu, you bastard!" Lu Qing cursed, facing Chu Nan's sword Qi head-on.
With a swishing sound, the sword Qi mercilessly split Lu Qing in two, blood scattering everywhere.
Chu Nan took two steps forward, retrieved Lu Qing's Storage Ring, and then pursued Lu Qiu.
After breaking through to the Spirit Pill, Chu Nan's Soaring Wind Sky-Stepping Technique became faster, catching up with the opponent within a few breaths.
Lu Qiu's face showed terror, as he turned around and threatened, "Chu Nan, if you kill me, the Lu family will never let you go!"
Chu Nan said disdainfully, "Who would know if I kill you here? You're too naïve!"
Seeing the threat was useless, Lu Qiu immediately begged, "Chu Nan, I'll give you my Storage Ring, spare my life, okay?"
While secretly thinking with hatred, "Once I return to the family, I must let them avenge me!"
Chu Nan looked at Lu Qiu playfully, and amidst his hopeful gaze, punched out.
Pfft!
Chu Nan's fist pierced through Lu Qiu's Dantian, a battered scarlet Inner Core clenched in his hand.
"You said you wanted to dig out my Inner Core before, so consider this tit for tat!"
Lu Qiu's eyes gradually dimmed, his body collapsing to the ground with a thud.
Chu Nan looked at the blood-stained Inner Core with some curiosity, "So this is an Inner Core, why is it so uneven?"
At this time, Kui Guang laughed, "You're cultivating the Celestial Tier supreme cultivation technique, so the quality of Inner Core others can't compare."
"But don't underestimate this Inner Core. The spiritual power it contains is comparable to a century-old spirit plant."
"Many martial artists rely on seizing others' Inner Cores to enhance their cultivation. Do you want to try it?"
Chu Nan put away the Inner Core, refusing, "After all, it was dug out from a person. Using it for cultivation feels like cannibalism. I won't do that."
Kui Guang seldom praised Chu Nan, "It's good that you have this awareness. Martial artists relying on absorbing others' Inner Cores grow quickly but are disdained by the world."
"Moreover, this opportunistic method rarely goes far, leaving many underlying issues. Truly ambitious martial artists disdain such methods for cultivation."
