School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master

Chapter 840: Chapter 918: The Jade Seal in Hand

The space magician possesses the ability to control space, even capable of traversing it as he wishes, moving with incredible speed. If he were to escape with all his might, other cultivators of the same level might find it hard to catch up.

Chen Nan hurriedly asked, ”Do you know the exact location? I am currently in the woods slightly east.”

Qing Ying said, ”The exact location is unclear, only that he fled eastwards. Many Jianghu forces are aware of this intelligence and are chasing him with all their might.”

”What realm is this space magician in?”

”The report claims he is in the Eighth Layer Heaven, but it’s uncertain if that’s accurate. When he was spotted in the urban area, he was besieged by three Nine-layered Heaven cultivators, yet he managed to escape through space magic in the end,” Qing Ying said seriously.

Chen Nan said, ”Alright, I’ll go after him first.”

”Alright, I’m heading your way too,” Qing Ying said.

After ending the call, Chen Nan continued to pursue eastward. After chasing for three miles, he felt fluctuations of magic elements and Inner Strength ahead.

”It should be here.”

Chen Nan looked ahead and sped up towards that direction.

About five hundred meters ahead, Chen Nan saw six people – four Nine-layered Heaven cultivators, and one Ten Layers of Heaven martial artist, besieging a magician.

This magician’s figure was dreamlike, flickering in and out, making it hard to predict where he would appear next.

The five masters had him surrounded, but while they held the upper hand in strength, the magician used space magic to traverse space so swiftly that he easily dodged all their attacks.

Chen Nan did not rush to help but hid in the shadows, preparing to reap the benefits of their mutual destruction.

He knew that although only five masters were besieging him now, in reality, many others lurked in the dark, eyeing him fiercely. No matter how skilled this space magician was in escaping, he could not get away now. What Chen Nan needed to do was wait patiently.

Once everyone is exhausted from fighting each other to a draw, he would then make a surprise move, kill without a hitch, and after seizing the Jade Seal, leave immediately.

Space magic, though formidable, was ultimately limited by the magician’s realm. Even if he could traverse space, he could only teleport about fifty meters at a time. Now, blocked in all directions by five masters sealing all escape routes, he had no way out with just fifty meters of space jump.

Chen Nan’s guess was correct. Sure enough, after a while, two more Nine-layered Heaven cultivators joined the battle circle to help deal with the space magician.

”Are all of you Huaxia cultivators so useless? Seven people teaming up against one, how shameless!” Despite being blond-haired and blue-eyed, the space magician spoke very standard Huaxia Mandarin.

”If it weren’t for your desperate attempts to escape, any one of us could slay you!” said the martial artist of Ten Layers of Heaven.

The space magician snorted coldly, appearing to the east one moment and then the west the next, charging left and right, but every time he was jointly blocked by everyone, unable to break through.

Chen Nan could see that the magician’s displayed strength now was not just Eighth Layer Heaven, but Nine-layered Heaven.

Seven top masters combined forces to attack, and the space magician gradually became somewhat powerless.

All around Gang Qi and magic treasures blasted, and no matter how exquisite his space magic was, he found it difficult to escape because wherever he fled, that area would be enveloped in attacks.

Within a radius of dozens of meters, nearly every spot was cloaked in Killing Aura. The moment he appeared, magic treasures would immediately bombard him, leaving him nowhere to hide.

”Pfft...”

Blood spattered as the space magician, dodging too slowly, had an arm severed by a Flying Sword.

Magicians excel at controlling magic elements but have very poor physical constitution. With his arm severed, the intense pain made it hard for him to concentrate, diminishing his control over magic power.

”Boom!”

The Ten Layers of Heaven martial artist struck with palm force spreading out, the space magician failed to dodge in time, hit in the chest by the palm wind, and his body flew backward.

Chen Nan secretly circulated Inner Strength, ready to strike at any moment.

At this moment, the space magician was already blood-soaked. When he was again hit by a magic treasure and his body flew back, Chen Nan’s figure flashed like lightning, stepping out the Slaughter God Seven Steps, passing through the void.

”Absorption Star Method!”

Chen Nan waved his hand, and the space magician flying backward was instantly drawn towards Chen Nan.

”Whoosh...”

With a flash of light and shadow, Chen Nan’s hand was like a sharp blade, slicing across the magician’s neck. The bleeding head fell, and the magician instantly perished. A black wooden box dropped from his body, tumbling to the ground.

Cultivators excel at Artifact Refining, usually storing things in a Storage Ring.

But this space magician, his greatest skill was opening dimension spaces. He had opened a dimension space within his own body, where the wooden box was hidden. Now that he was beheaded, the dimension space collapsed, and the wooden box dropped out.

Chen Nan reached out, waving downward, and the Absorption Star Method instantly pulled the wooden box into his hand while he kicked off the space magician’s corpse, swiftly retreating.

Unfortunately, he was ultimately a step late; the seven masters were already surrounding him, staring at him menacingly.

One of them said, ”Hand over the Jade Seal, otherwise you’ll meet a dead end.”

”Don’t be hasty, we are all Huaxia people, let’s not damage harmony before discerning truth. My purpose in coming here today was merely to witness the Imperial Jade Seal firsthand. After I look at it, if it’s genuine, I’ll immediately return it to you all,” Chen Nan looked at the crowd and said.

”If you dare to play tricks, we’ll ensure you die without a burial place!” Everyone stared coldly at him.

Chen Nan slowly opened the wooden box, revealing a White Jade Seal inside. On the four corners of the seal, one corner had been broken and repaired with gold, identical to the description in the records of the Imperial Jade Seal.

According to legend, in the late Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped power when Emperor Liu Ying was only two years old, the Jade Seal was in the care of Empress Dowager Xiaoyuan. Wang Mang entered the palace and forced the Empress Dowager to surrender the Seal, inciting her fury, and she threw the Seal to the ground, breaking off a corner, later fixed with gold, leaving a blemish.

After careful inspection, Chen Nan felt it was unlikely to be fake, then smiled at the crowd, ”I’ve finished looking. I’ll return it to you now.”

He smiled faintly and tossed the Jade Seal outward.

But at the moment of throwing, Chen Nan put the True Jade Seal into the Storage Ring, swapping it for the Fake Jade Seal which he threw out.

The crowd didn’t notice the detail and rushed towards the Fake Jade Seal eagerly.
