School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master

Chapter 640: Chapter 714: Formidable Opponent

Yue Mountain, located among the most westerly groups of mountains in Ningjiang City.

The terrain is extremely perilous, rising over two thousand meters in elevation. From halfway up the mountain and above, one is enveloped in clouds and fog; the air is imbued with spiritual energy, and fairy mist drifts about as if it were the peak of Immortal Peak itself, a sight too beautiful for words.

What is even more surprising are Yue Mountain’s main peak and secondary peak.

These two peaks are the highest among the neighboring mountains, both nearly two thousand five hundred meters tall. Between the two main peaks lies an unfathomably deep ravine, shrouded in mystery.

Legend has it that these two main peaks were originally one, but for reasons unknown, they split right down the middle, turning into the two peaks we see today.

There are even rumors that claim the mountain was cleft in twain by a single sword strike from a legendary swordsman whose cultivation reached the skies!

The might of that single sword strike split a mountain in two.

Despite being somewhat fantastical, such a heaven-defying feat still inspires countless cultivators. They cultivate intensely, dreaming that one day, they too could cleave a giant mountain with one sword strike and stand proudly above all.

Chen Nan could no longer concern himself with the consumption of his True Qi; he dashed out of the school gates at top speed.

Just like the last time, he randomly carjacked a nice vehicle and sped off toward Yue Mountain.

Although his Qinggong was faster than any car when utilized, it would lead to excessive Inner Strength depletion, leaving him likely unable to change the situation even if he arrived on time.

Chen Nan drove recklessly on the road, even colliding with other vehicles during a couple of instances where he ran red lights.

However, he paid them no heed, made a sharp turn, floored the gas pedal, and continued forward, constantly cutting through shortcuts, speeding towards Yue Mountain in the west as fast as he could.

Yet, after racing on the road for five minutes, Chen Nan glanced at the GPS and realized he had only covered one third of the distance. Two-thirds were still ahead, and the enemy had given a ten-minute deadline—if he didn’t make it in time, they’d kill Su Qingqing.

A punch shattered the windshield, and Chen Nan had no choice but to leap out and sprint at full speed towards the peak of Yue Mountain.

He knew the enemy must have precisely calculated the timing to prevent him from driving and force him to deplete his Inner Strength speeding to the destination. Once he reached the peak, heavily drained of Inner Strength, they would find it much easier to deal with him.

However, contrary to Chen Nan’s expectation, at that very moment, a figure suddenly leapt out in front of him, blocking his path.

The man was dressed in a trench coat and appeared to be in his twenties, but Chen Nan had the intuition that this individual might actually be in his thirties. The fact that he maintained such a youthful appearance could be greatly related to his profound cultivation.

The trench coat-clad man looked at Chen Nan and said, ”You must be Chen Nan, right? As expected, your cultivation is profound. I came specifically to find you.”

”Do you need something?”

”Let me introduce myself. My name is Long Zhigang. I returned to Yutan Middle School today, so from now on, I will be your schoolmate. I’ve heard of your exceptional martial arts and wanted to exchange some pointers with you.”

Chen Nan’s expression turned cold.

Long Zhigang?

Wasn’t he the one Zhu Bajie mentioned this morning, the leader of the Four School Bullies? I originally thought he only knew some external martial arts, but it turns out he’s an Inner Strength expert, just like me.

”That phone call just now was from you, wasn’t it?” Chen Nan stared at him. ”If you’re a man, deal with me directly. It’s low to trouble a girl.”

Long Zhigang looked puzzled, ”I have no idea what you’re talking about. I just wanted to have a friendly spar with you. I haven’t made any calls.”

Chen Nan’s brow furrowed.

If the call wasn’t made by Long Zhigang, it meant the enemy was someone else.

Right now, he absolutely couldn’t afford to delay. If he missed the deadline, Su Qingqing’s life would truly be in danger.

”I don’t have time to fight you right now, let’s talk about it next time.”

As Chen Nan spoke, he strode towards Yue Mountain, but as soon as he took his first step, Long Zhigang delivered a palm strike and said, ”You’re such a drag, it’s just a friendly contest. Even if you lose I won’t kill you, what are you afraid of?”

Chen Nan had no choice but to counter with a palm strike of his own, pushing backward.

”Boom...”

Primordial Qi shook, and both men were forced back over ten steps.

After scanning Long Zhigang, Chen Nan said coldly, ”I have urgent matters to attend to right now, I don’t have time to spar with you. If you want to fight, let’s go back to school.”

Just as Chen Nan was about to turn around, Long Zhigang charged at him again, ”I don’t care if you have matters to attend to, my goal is simply to beat you and see who’s better. As for the rest, I don’t want to interfere, and I don’t care to.”

Chen Nan blocked his palm again, his fists clenched tightly, ”I’m in a rush to save someone, and someone will die if I’m late.”

”What’s that to me? Even if someone dies, it’s not me,” Long Zhigang said indifferently, rubbing his fists, and charged at Chen Nan once more.

Killing intent surged in Chen Nan’s eyes, ”Since that’s the case, then I’ll just have to kill you!”

Long Zhigang gave a cold smile, ”I only used a third of my strength just now, do you really think that was all I’ve got? To me, defeating you is just a game.”

”I don’t care how much strength you used, if you don’t get out of my way, I’ll take your life!”

Without the slightest reservation, Chen Nan vibrated his left arm, and the Fangtian Hua Ji, fused with the Melt Soldiers and Refine Body Divine Power, was instantly in his grip, stirring the void and striking downward at Long Zhigang’s head with a thousand layers of air waves.

The Fangtian Hua Ji, which could both hack and pierce, was a combination of a spear and a broadsword, well-rounded in both offense and defense.

With this strike from Chen Nan, the killing aura reached the sky, endless True Qi surged wildly, creating a palpable aura of death that blanketed the area, sending chills through anyone nearby, as if they were in an ice cellar.

At this moment, Chen Nan’s eyes flickered with a cold light, he truly harbored the intent to kill.

Though Long Zhigang only wanted to spar with him and had no deep-seated hatred, he was now obstructing Chen Nan from saving Su Qingqing, so Chen Nan’s strike would show no mercy.

For his girl, he wouldn’t hesitate to kill even a Long Zhigang, let alone face the world as an enemy.

Sensing the palpable intent to kill, Long Zhigang’s expression became solemn. Instead of retreating, he advanced, his right hand glowing with purple light as his fist rocketed upwards, shattering the void, and colliding with Chen Nan’s Fangtian Hua Ji.

When the two young powerhouses clashed with their full strength, their internal energy collided, shaking the void.

”Bang...”

Both men took a step back, seemingly equal, but Chen Nan actually had the advantage.

”Slash!”

With a fierce shout, he summoned the Heavenly Punishment Demon Sword in his right hand and executed a devastating attack.

He hadn’t used the Demon Sword from the start only to deceive his opponent, so he could severely wound or even kill him with one move when it mattered most. To save time, Chen Nan was willing to resort to any means necessary.

However!

Just as his sword came slashing down, light flickered around Long Zhigang’s feet, a residual image remained in place, and in the next instant, he appeared ten meters away.

The speed was frightening to behold!
