Peerless Dragon Sovereign-Chapter 551: Lu Yao, Ninth Heaven!

Chu Nan sped all the way and quickly reached the edge of the deep pit. However, as he flew out, his expression suddenly turned serious.

Zhi Tianping was on high alert at the edge of the deep pit. From all directions, several figures swiftly closed in, consisting of three at the sixth level and two at the seventh level, with Huo Jiantang among them.

"Chu Nan, we’ve been following you all along, just waiting for you to step into the Cyan Demon Mountain Range and seek your own demise!" Huo Mingxian’s figure appeared in the air, looking down at Chu Nan with contemptuous eyes.

This time, she brought the elite of the Huo family to kill Chu Nan and seize the Treasure Blood, eliminating future problems.

Including Huo Jiantang, there were three at the sixth level, two at the seventh level, and her, a formidable presence comparable to the eighth level.

Huo Mingxian was full of confidence. No matter how capable Chu Nan was, he couldn’t escape the Heaven and Earth Net she had set up!

Chu Nan stared intently at Huo Mingxian and coldly asked, "Huo Nianfang, so you tricked me into coming to the Cyan Demon Mountain Range to find the truth?"

Huo Mingxian laughed and said, "I didn’t deceive you; it’s just that you don’t have the opportunity to uncover the truth."

Her eyes were full of ridicule and a deep-seated bitterness.

Huo Mingxian was once the maid to Chu Nan’s parents. While in the Heavenly Balance Realm, she appeared infinitely reckless, but having come from a Strong Race, she was always the one served, never serving others.

Because Huo Mingxian always harbored resentment about this, though she gained benefits unimaginable in the Celestial Crossing Realm during her time as a maid, she felt no gratitude toward Chu Nan’s parents; instead, she felt they owed her.

With Chu Nan’s parents both suffering calamities, Huo Mingxian had no way to exact revenge on them, so she naturally turned her resentment toward Chu Nan and Huo Nianfang.

If Huo Nianfang had known Chu Nan was still alive, he likely would have descended upon Qingshan County long ago to kill him.

"Chu Nan, you crippled my cultivation back then. Did you ever think this day would come!" Huo Jiantang was elated as he had obtained a special cultivation method from Huo Mingxian.

His cultivation speed was incredible, restoring from the ninth level of Cloud Sea Realm directly to the sixth level!

This cultivation speed was so strange that even Chu Nan marveled at it; despite his abilities, even he couldn’t reach such an astonishing level in such a short time.

But Chu Nan remained unfazed, countering, "What makes you think you can kill me?"

With that, the Blood Pattern Sword slowly unsheathed, and Chu Nan stood with Zhi Tianping, an invisible aura emanating from them.

The Huo family martial artists exchanged glances and burst into laughter at the sight.

"Chu Nan, you are truly mad!"

"With the full might of the Huo family at hand, even if you were at the eighth level, you would perish here, let alone with a cultivation of only the seventh level of Cloud Sea Realm."

"Chu Nan, if I were you, I’d kneel now and beg for a quick death!"

Huo Jiantang brandished the Emperor’s Longsword, unleashing the aura of the sixth level, pointing his sword at Chu Nan, saying, "Chu Nan, I will use this sword to slice your flesh one inch at a time!"

A maniacal expression appeared on his face; if not for Huo Mingxian’s restraint, he would have rushed forth eagerly.

Chu Nan, however, clenched his fist and declared, "Huo Jiantang, I will pummel your body into pulp with my fists!"

Hearing Chu Nan’s boastful words, Huo Jiantang trembled with rage, finally looking to Huo Mingxian with anticipation.

Huo Mingxian looked down at Chu Nan calmly, slightly waved her hand, and said, "Kill him!"

Upon her words, Huo Jiantang showed excitement as if Chu Nan would be reduced to fragments the next moment.

The others were the first to strike, two at the sixth level, two at the seventh level, surrounding Chu Nan from all sides.

"Chu Nan, there’s only one outcome for offending the Huo family, and that is death!"

"Take this!"

"It’s over..."

"Kill!"

The four attacked in unison, their combined Spiritual Power altering the original sky color to one filled with their Sea of Clouds.

The powerful figures were like war drums, their forces combined like a massive sun falling swiftly from the sky.

The terrifying pressure made Zhi Tianping tremble all over, collapsing to the ground incapable of movement.

His worried eyes looked to Chu Nan; facing such a desperate situation, he couldn’t imagine how Chu Nan could turn the tide!

Huo Jiantang was even more eager, saying, "Don’t kill him too quickly; I want to slice his flesh piece by piece, letting Chu Nan die in utmost agony."

Huo Mingxian nodded secretly, knowing that the only outcome of this battle was Chu Nan’s death!

"Chu Nan, leaving the Imperial Capital, distancing yourself from Lu Daochang’s protection was your greatest mistake. Without the Supreme Sect Leader, who in this world can shield you?"

But at this moment, Chu Nan’s face revealed a smile and he said, "The power of Strong Races is indeed terrifying, but who told you that without Lu Daochang I have no one to protect me?"

Watching the terrifying force coming at him, Chu Nan swung his arm, and to everyone’s astonishment, a graceful figure flew out of his Storage Bag.

She was slender and charming, surrounded by Yin Evil Qi, yet appeared no different from a living person.

Even compared to her, Huo Mingxian paled in comparison.

Lu Yao stood in the void, looking at the approaching terrifying power, coldly saying, "Such insects dare to attack Chu Nan?"

Then she waved her arm under everyone’s shocked gazes.

The gauzy sleeve cut through the void, and all Spiritual Power collapsed, the combined Sea of Clouds in midair shredded, the four powerful ninth-level cultivators flung back in disarray.

Their faces showed terror, as if they had witnessed the most dreadful thing in the world. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"This power... How can it be!"

"Could it be..."

"A ninth-level powerhouse!"

Huo Jiantang trembled all over, never imagining that there would be a ninth-level combat power beside Chu Nan!

Huo Mingxian was even more shocked and pale; she knew Chu Nan had a Guardian by his side but never imagined this Guardian’s strength had reached the ninth level.

Most importantly, there were only a few ninth-level martial artists in the Celestial Crossing Realm, and she had no impression of Lu Yao before.

Especially after seeing that Lu Yao was devoid of vitality, Huo Mingxian was terrified to realize this person must be an ancient and powerful figure, perhaps present since before the division of the two realms.

Her eyes showed horror, about to give another order immediately.

However, the four Huo family martial artists were already scared out of their wits by Lu Yao’s combat strength, hesitating not at all to turn and flee.

For a ninth-level cultivator, killing an eighth-level takes only a slap, let alone those who weren’t even eighth-level!

"No escape!"

Lu Yao chuckled softly, then lightly pointed a finger.

Suddenly!

Silver Sword Qi pierced through the void, instantly penetrating one’s chest, the body shredded into countless pieces by the Sword Qi.

In the blink of an eye, a seventh-level was instantly killed, Lu Yao’s terror was unspeakable!
