School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master

Chapter 784: Chapter 861: Invincible

Chen Nan stopped, and Zhao Han also stopped.

Guo Qiye, seeing the urgency, hurriedly said, ”Don’t you care about your lives? Soul Devouring Worms are not easy to deal with. What’s more important, the treasure or your lives?”

He wasn’t genuinely concerned about the life and death of Chen Nan and Zhao Han; rather, as the three were allies, his own danger in the Dead City would significantly increase if Chen Nan and Zhao Han were to die.

Zhao Han glanced at him, ”Your cultivation is not weak. Why are you more timid than a mouse?”

”You two are crazy and don’t care about your lives!” Guo Qiye said while retreating, and seeing the Soul Devouring Worms approaching closer, he finally took off running.

Chen Nan was speechless, ”I can’t believe you’re still a man. You depress me.”

”Coward.”

The Black Feathered Chicken couldn’t help but join in the mockery and then proudly said, ”So many stinky bugs, now Master Chicken can have a feast.”

Having said that, the creature actually flapped its wings and crowed triumphantly to the sky.

However, it was this crowing that stopped the incoming Soul Devouring Worms. Their tiny bodies lay trembling on the ground, no longer daring to move forward.

Chen Nan frowned, ”What’s happening?”

”They’re scared by your Grandpa Chicken. All insects in the world are just food for your Grandpa Chicken,” said the Black Feathered Chicken excitedly, flapping its wings and transforming into a chicken as tall as a table, then pounced towards the group of Soul Devouring Worms.

Chen Nan and Zhao Han suddenly understood.

Chickens usually feed on insects and are naturally the nemesis of the insect kind.

Seeing the Black Feathered Chicken attacking, Chen Nan was initially worried, but then noticed that the Soul Devouring Worms didn’t even dare to move in its presence, trembling on the ground under the chicken’s formidable presence.

”Awesome, so damn tasty!”

The Black Feathered Chicken cried out excitedly, pecking non-stop. With each peck, it ate at least two insects.

Chen Nan and Zhao Han both breathed a sigh of relief.

Expecting a fierce battle, they hadn’t anticipated that a loud crow from this dead chicken would intimidate all these worms.

There were hundreds of these Soul Devouring Worms, whose combined strength was definitely far above that of the Black Feathered Chicken. Yet in its presence, not a single worm dared to fight back due to their innate fear of birds, a natural predator-prey relationship.

The three panicked martial artists who had run over were middle-aged men.

One of them had reached the Ninth Layer of Imperial Path and the other two were at the Eighth Layer of Tao. Their cultivation was very strong, but against those Soul Devouring Worms, they could only flee for their lives.

Because their spiritual power was simply too weak. As soon as a Soul Devouring Worm touched them, it would immediately devour their soul and control their bodies.

Chen Nan turned to the martial artist with the ninth-layer cultivation and said, ”My name is Chen Nan, and this is Zhao Han. May I know how to address the three of you?”

”My name is Wang Xia, and these two are my brothers, Wang Qiu and Wang Dong,” said Wang Xia of the Ninth Layer of Imperial Path. ”Thank you both and your chicken brother for saving us; otherwise, we three brothers would have perished here today.”

”What chicken brother, call me Grandpa Chicken!”

The Black Feathered Chicken, currently engrossed in eating insects, suddenly interjected.

”Eat your food and don’t interrupt; no one would think you’re dumb,” Chen Nan laughed and chided, then looked at Wang Xia and said, ”I heard you say earlier that you know where the Extreme Cold Treasure is?”

Wang Xia knew all too well that Chen Nan had saved them for this treasure.

Yet, how could he willingly share such a treasure with others? He looked towards his two brothers, and the three exchanged a look of understanding.

Chen Nan watched all this and laughed, ”Brother Wang, you won’t play tricks on me, will you?”

”Of course not, Brother Chen, you are our lifesaver,” Wang Xia forced a smile and said, ”I’ll lead the way in a moment and we’ll retrieve the treasure together.”

”Brother Wang is indeed straightforward,” Chen Nan said with a smile.

Wang Xia smiled stiffly, continuously saying, ”It’s only right, it’s only right.”

In just two minutes, hundreds of Soul Devouring Worms had been consumed by the Black Feathered Chicken, leaving its belly round and full, having had a thoroughly satisfying meal.

”Burp... Stuffed to death, this Chicken Lord is.”

The Black Feathered Chicken, similar to a human, belched and transformed back into its small form, perching on Chen Nan’s shoulder.

Chen Nan pointed ahead and said, ”Brother Wang, please lead the way.”

”Alright, let’s go.”

Wang Xia spoke briskly, but just as he was passing by Chen Nan, he suddenly struck, swinging his long sword horizontally toward Chen Nan’s neck.

It looked like he intended to take Chen Nan’s life with one blow.

”Clang...”

Chen Nan was on guard, blocking the attack with his Crack Sky Hand.

At the same time, Wang Qiu and Wang Dong also made their moves, each wielding their swords and stabbing toward Zhao Han’s chest.

Though Zhao Han knew some close combat skills, it was not easy to dodge the sneak attacks of two martial artists at such close range.

In a critical moment, he suddenly raised his left hand, a bolt of lightning flashing across his palm, blasting towards Wang Qiu’s sword tip.

That was the Thunderbolt Hand Chen Nan had taught him.

”Clang...”

The sword tip stabbed into the palm, penetrating about half a centimeter deep, and blood dripped out.

Since he hadn’t been practicing Thunderbolt Hand for long, its power naturally couldn’t compare to Chen Nan’s Crack Sky Hand.

Wang Qiu’s sword was blocked, but Wang Dong’s sword had already reached his chest, nearly stabbing into his clothing when Chen Nan, quick as lightning, blocked Wang Xia’s attack on himself with one hand and summoned the Heavenly Punishment Demon Sword with the other, slashing upward.

”Clang!”

The sound of metal clashing echoed, causing Wang Qiu’s sword to tremble and wail.

The cold, shining sword, was instantly split into two by Chen Nan’s Demon Sword, with the tip falling to the ground, making a crisp sound.

”Ungrateful wretches, you’re asking for death!”

Enraged, Zhao Han leaped back several meters, forming a spell with his hands and unleashing his own Taoist Skill —

”Absolute Domain!”

As he shouted loudly, within ten meters all around, all tangible matters were bound by the power of the Domain.

Including Chen Nan, everyone felt as though stuck in a quagmire, as if their acupoints had been sealed, nearly unable to move.

”Brother, the task of killing is yours.”

As Zhao Han spoke, he formed a spell with his hands, a beam of light burst forth, reinforcing Chen Nan, and instantly Chen Nan was free from the Domain’s binding power, moving freely.

”Ungrateful dogs!”

Chen Nan cursed, his Demon Sword slashing downward, directly chopping Wang Dong to death.

The blood-dripping head was suspended in the air, looking particularly ferocious.

”Younger brother!”

Both Wang Xia and Wang Qiu’s faces drastically changed, desperately trying to harness their Qi Movement to break free, but the power of Absolute Domain was not so easily overcome.

Chen Nan trusted the power of Zhao Han’s Taoist Skill because he himself had suffered under it during their decisive battle. His Demon Sword swept across again, splitting Wang Qiu’s body from head to toe into two, but the severed corpse, restrained by the Domain Power, didn’t separate at once.

”Tell me, where is the Extreme Cold Treasure?” Chen Nan demanded, with the Demon Sword pointed at Wang Xia.
