Dashing Student-Chapter 769: Nothing More Than This

Shen Qinglan frowned slightly, clearly not understanding what Chen Nan meant by these words, but still expressed concern: "This is a gathering of the Outer Eight Sects, not a place you should be. You should leave quickly. If someone finds out you snuck in, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

This was also Shen Qinglan’s first time attending a gathering of the Outer Eight Sects, yet she knew that once an outsider sneaked in, they would pay a heavy price!

Just as Chen Nan was about to speak, a dignified young man with two goblets walked up with a dazzling smile on his face, followed by four peers!

"Hello Miss Shen, my name is Wu Di, a disciple of the Thief Sect, and I am also a loyal fan of yours. I wonder if I could take a photo with you and share a drink?" Wu Di looked at Shen Qinglan with a smiling face.

A trace of disgust flashed in Shen Qinglan’s eyes, and she said impatiently, "You’ve got the wrong person!" She then looped her arm through Chen Nan’s and was about to leave.

Wu Di’s smile stiffened, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to his courteous demeanor, albeit with a hint of threat in his tone: "Miss Shen, is there a need to give me no face?"

"I’ve got quite a reputation in the Outer Eight Sects. You should feel honored that I want to toast you with a drink."

The four companions behind him surrounded them, one of them sneering: "That’s right, Senior Brother Wu is a prodigy of the Thief Sect’s younger generation. It’s your fortune to be noticed by him, don’t be ungrateful!"

Shen Qinglan’s face slightly changed, subconsciously leaning closer to Chen Nan, whispering, "Chen Nan, let’s go, ignore them..."

The Thief Sect is the leader of the Outer Eight Sects, and Shen Qinglan wanted to avoid further entanglement with them!

However, Chen Nan remained motionless, merely glancing at Wu Di with faint disdain: "Since when did people from the Thief Sect start stopping people in the street? It seems the rules of the Outer Eight Sects are losing value!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Di’s eyes flashed coldly as he sized up Chen Nan, sneering: "Who do you think you are to speak of the rules of the Outer Eight Sects? You’re just a riffraff who snuck in, daring to put on airs before me?"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly reached to grab Chen Nan’s collar, his movements as swift as lightning, displaying the Thief Sect’s unique skill "Cloud-Exploring Hand"!

However, before he could touch Chen Nan, his hand froze in mid-air!

At some point, Chen Nan had already grasped his wrist, his five fingers tightening like iron pincers, causing the joints to make "crackling" sounds under the stress!

Wu Di’s face changed drastically, the pain causing veins to pop on his forehead, but he gritted his teeth and held back a cry: "You... courting death!"

He abruptly lifted his leg, aiming his knee hard at Chen Nan’s abdomen, while his other hand formed a claw, going straight for the throat!

Chen Nan snorted coldly, slightly shifting his form to easily avoid the knee strike, while the hand holding Wu Di’s wrist suddenly exerted force, giving it a sharp twist!

"Crack!"

A crisp bone-cracking sound rang out, Wu Di let out a scream, his entire arm limply hanging down, his face instantly going pale!

"Senior Brother Wu!" The four people behind him were furious, attacking simultaneously!

From one person’s sleeve, a cold light flashed, and three poison darts shot out swiftly!

Another drew a soft sword from his waist, the blade like a snake, thrusting straight for Chen Nan’s throat! The remaining two flanked one on each side, their punches fierce, clearly seasoned martial artists!

Chen Nan’s eyes were filled with even colder intent, his figure darting like a ghost, the poison darts "ding ding ding" embedding into the wall behind him, while the soft sword was caught between his two fingers, bent with a snap!

"Boom!"

The sword broke, and before the wielder could react, Chen Nan had already closed in, punching him in the chest!

"Pfft—" That person spat out blood, flying backwards, crashing heavily into a wine table!

The remaining three saw this and their faces changed drastically, but before they could react, Chen Nan had already charged into them like a tiger among sheep, his fists and feet like the wind. In just a few seconds, all four were on the ground wailing, with no strength left to fight back!

The banquet hall plunged into dead silence, everyone staring in shock at this scene, unprepared for the fact that this seemingly ordinary young man possessed such terrifying skills! fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Chen Nan said calmly, "The Thief Sect’s disciples aren’t much after all."

Wu Di, clutching his broken arm, looked at Chen Nan in terror, his voice trembling: "Who... who exactly are you?!"

Chen Nan gave him a cold glance from above, saying indifferently: "Who are you to know who I am? Get lost!"

Wu Di’s face turned ashen, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead. He had never suffered such a loss at an Outer Eight Sects gathering, and never imagined that a nobody would cripple his arm in an instant!

"You... you dare touch me?" He gritted his teeth and growled, his eyes filled with resentment: "The Thief Sect won’t let you go!"

Chen Nan laughed coldly, his gaze like a blade as it swept over Wu Di, saying calmly: "Say one more word and I’ll cripple your other hand too."

Wu Di shuddered all over, unexpectedly not daring to speak any further, staring at Chen Nan with eyes filled with a desire to tear him apart.

The atmosphere in the banquet hall plummeted to freezing point, the previously lively Outer Eight Sects disciples halted their conversations, all eyes simultaneously focused on Chen Nan!

Some whispered among themselves, while others showed apprehension.

Shen Qinglan’s heart pounded like a drum, her palms sweating. Although she knew Chen Nan was formidable, this was the territory of the Outer Eight Sects. Once everyone attacked together, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Chen Nan, we should leave quickly..." she urged in a low voice, her fingers unconsciously clutching his sleeve tightly!

At that moment, the banquet hall doors suddenly burst open with a powerful gust!

"Injuring a Thief Sect disciple and thinking of just leaving like that?"

A voice deep as thunder rolled in, vibrating the eardrums of everyone present painfully!

A middle-aged man in a gray robe strode into the hall like a dragon or a tiger, his facial features rugged, eyes sharp as electricity. Each step he took caused the ground to emit a faint rumbling sound!

"It’s Wu Tianxiong, the Sect Leader of the Thief Sect!" someone exclaimed.

At these words, everyone at the scene revealed fervent gazes. It was known that the Thief Sect was ranked first among the Outer Eight Sects, and its leader Wu Tianxiong was a grandmaster-level expert, whose strength was undeniable!

They believed that once Wu Tianxiong made a move, Chen Nan would surely be beaten until he coughed up blood!

In an instant, everyone’s eyes held intriguing expressions, as if they had already envisioned Chen Nan being beaten to the ground!

Seeing the newcomer, Wu Di immediately looked as if he’d found a savior, enduring the severe pain to shout: "Master! This person crippled my arm and insulted our Thief Sect! You must seek justice for your disciple!"

Wu Tianxiong’s gaze was like a knife as he scanned Chen Nan, then sneered: "Good, very good! It’s been many years since anyone dared to challenge my Thief Sect!"

Chen Nan asked calmly: "Your Thief Sect is all that?"

At that moment!

The other sect leaders also began to appear one after another!

The Thousand Gate Master, shaking an iron-bone fan, leaned with a smile on a pillar!

The Orchid Sect Master, draped in a cheongsam, lazily leaned on the second-floor railing!

The Divine Tune Sect Master, holding a bronze bell, had eyes flashing with a strange light!

The Red Handkerchief Sect Master played with a pair of blood jade walnuts, a playful smile on his face!

Only the Suoming Sect Leader, Qing Niao, remained hidden in the shadows, revealing just a pair of eyes as cold as frost.

"Wu Sect Leader, your disciple is outmatched, you can’t blame others!" The Thousand Gate Master deliberately dragged his voice, clearly fanning the flames!
