School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master

Chapter 1277: Chapter 1363: Assassination

Su Yixuan!

Seeing this painting, Chen Nan’s mind buzzed and he turned his gaze to Tao Zui: ”Can you explain what this is all about?”

”What do you mean by that, Brother Chen?” Tao Zui asked.

Chen Nan picked up the scroll and fully opened it. The person on it not only looked exactly like Su Yixuan but was also dressed in modern Earth attire, not the clothing of the Tao Realm.

”The facts are right in front of you, still pretending?” Chen Nan pointed at the scroll and said to Tao Zui, ”Zhao Han, you and I are like brothers, and I don’t care what your purpose is for coming here, but why do you hide your true identity from me?”

Tao Zui looked completely puzzled: ”Brother Chen, what on earth are you talking about? I don’t understand at all.”

Chen Nan nodded: ”Fine, you still won’t admit it, then tell me, where did this painting come from?”

”I painted it myself!” Tao Zui said.

”Then why did you paint it?” Chen Nan’s eyes fixed on him.

Tao Zui’s face showed an awkward expression, he took a sip of wine, and after a moment said, ”To be honest, the person in this painting is the one in my heart.”

”Have you ever met her?” Chen Nan frowned.

Tao Zui shook his head and sighed, ”It’s embarrassing to say, but I’ve never met this lady. It’s just that for the past six months, she’s appeared in my dreams almost every night. I don’t even know her name, but I believe this lady must exist somewhere in the world. So, I’ve painted many portraits and asked many friends to help search for her.”

”This is the reason you painted her?” Chen Nan had some disbelief.

Tao Zui smiled bitterly: ”I know, this is hard to believe, but it’s the truth. Brother Chen, you seem to recognize this young lady, please tell me where she is, what her name is?”

Chen Nan looked into his eyes and asked, ”Is everything you say true?”

”If there’s a single lie, may Heaven strike me down with thunderbolts,” Tao Zui asked excitedly, ”Brother Chen, please tell me the truth!”

Chen Nan put down the scroll in his hand, shook his head, and smiled bitterly: ”If you’re telling the truth, you’d better not fall for her, because you’ll never truly meet her in this life.”

Chen Nan didn’t understand why Tao Zui would dream of Su Yixuan, but he was sure there was definitely some connection between Tao Zui and Zhao Han.

After all, Zhao Han became infatuated with someone around six months ago.

And this Tao Zui also began frequently dreaming of Su Yixuan from about six months ago.

”Brother Chen, what do you mean by this, could it be that this young lady... she...” Tao Zui said with a trembling voice.

Chen Nan shook his head and said, ”Rest assured, she’s not dead. I also don’t know where she is now, and the Tao Realm is vast. To find her is like fishing for a needle in the ocean, it’s better to forget about it.”

Tao Zui shook his head and asked, ”Then... what is this young lady’s name?”

”Su Yixuan, the ’Yi’ in ’artistry’, and the ’Xuan’ in ’jade compass’.”

”When was the last time Brother Chen saw her?” Tao Zui’s tone was somewhat excited. For a full six months, he’d finally gathered information on this dream goddess.

Previously, he had doubted in his heart whether this lady in his dreams actually existed in reality. Now he was finally at ease because Chen Nan had seen this Miss Su, and he felt that as long as he kept searching, he would find her someday.

Little did he know, even if he found her, Su Yixuan would have already given her heart to Chen Nan.

”Three years ago, at Xuanwu City.”

Chen Nan had to lie, he couldn’t very well say it was in the Mortal World!

He originally intended to persuade Tao Zui to let go, but unexpectedly, these words only strengthened Tao Zui’s resolve to continue his search.

”No matter the ends of the earth, I must find her.” Tao Zui said.

Chen Nan chuckled, joking: ”If it is meant to be, you will meet. If not, why force it? Even if you find her one day, she may already be married.”

”This...”

Tao Zui was momentarily speechless.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, the sound of something breaking through the air was heard. Chen Nan instinctively tilted his head to the side as a flying sword as thick as a finger whizzed past his eyes at great speed.

Someone attacked!

Chen Nan was just about to get up when ”whoosh whoosh whoosh” three more flying swords, each the size of a finger, shot toward him at high speed.

These three flying swords were extremely fast, causing Chen Nan to scramble, showing that the attacker was formidable.

Chen Nan did his best to dodge two of the flying swords. Seeing that there was no way to avoid the third one, he struck forward with his hand. With a ”clang” sound, he caught the flying sword between his fingers, but the blade sliced open the skin on his finger.

His Crack Sky Hand was supremely powerful, yet it was still injured by this flying sword.

”Clang...”

Chen Nan broke the flying sword and threw it on the ground. At that moment, he noticed the wound turned black, and the blood flowing was also black.

This flying sword was poisoned!

”Playing poison techniques with me, you picked the wrong person!”

Chen Nan smirked internally, using his poison technique to counteract the poison. His wounded finger quickly returned to normal, and then his cells began regenerating quickly, healing the wound in mere breaths.

The reason Chen Nan had time to heal was not because the opponent stopped attacking, but because Yun Chen and the Tao siblings stood by fending off the subsequent attacks.

Chen Nan stepped forward a few paces, looked in the direction the flying swords came from, and shouted: ”What evil demon lurks there, come out and show yourself!”

”Hahaha, you’ve been poisoned by me, you can wait for death!”

A middle-aged man emerged, his face full of venomous intent, especially his eyes, which seemed like a venomous snake’s, sending chills through people’s hearts.

Chen Nan smirked coldly and said, ”Have you ever seen someone poisoned by the Seven-step Soul-breaking Powder still standing here laughing and chatting with you?”

”You recognize my poison!”

The middle-aged man’s face darkened, then he exclaimed: ”Impossible! My flying sword clearly cut your finger, how can it be that you’re not poisoned!”

”Playing poison techniques with me, you’re still too inexperienced,” Chen Nan said as he summoned the Golden Phoenix Wing Mace, pointing at his adversary: ”Tell me, you and I are strangers, and there’s no enmity between us, why are you scheming against me?”

”Someone wants your worthless life, prepare to die!”

As the middle-aged man spoke, his body vanished into thin air, and the next moment he appeared in front of Chen Nan, wielding a short sword as he thrust toward Chen Nan’s chest.

Chen Nan made no attempt to block, allowing the opponent to strike.

Meanwhile, he used a move called Red Phoenix Facing the Sun, thrusting his Phoenix Wing Mace toward his opponent’s face.

The middle-aged man sensed something was wrong; his weapon wasn’t as long as Chen Nan’s. If he didn’t evade, his head would certainly be pierced by the mace. He flickered and disappeared from Chen Nan’s sight once more, appearing the next moment behind him, thrusting the poisoned short sword again.

Chen Nan was shocked, realizing the man’s speed was incredibly fast. He had no choice but to activate the Yin Yang Dual World.

This tai Chi Dual World spun, two worlds alternating to block the attack, immediately neutralizing his opponent’s assault. Seizing the opportunity, Chen Nan unleashed a Python Roll, smashing the Phoenix Wing Mace backward.
