Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chapter 640: Chapter 190 Chen 94 How Dare You! (Seeking Monthly Pass)

”Pfft~”

Nan Batian spat out a mouthful of blood; like a kite with its string cut, he was sent flying backwards.

His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief, his Gang Qi emanated outward—yes, it was the Qi Blood Holding Core. Only those in the Qi Blood Holding Core Realm could emit Gang Qi like this. Lord Yelu was actually a powerhouse in the Qi Blood Holding Core Realm!

At this moment, Nan Batian was stunned!

And it wasn’t just Nan Batian—Elder Liu, Chen Jiusi, and everyone else drew a cold breath.

Lord Yelu had kept his true strength hidden; it turned out he had the Cultivation of the Qi Blood Holding Core Realm. Had it not been for Nan Batian’s pressure, they might never have known this.

Thinking of this made Chen Jie inwardly wary. Lord Yelu seemed to have anticipated the crowd’s reaction and turned his head to sweep a glance at them, revealing the demeanor of the King of Mianshui.

Nan Batian was nothing but a target he had placed in front, while he was the true king manipulating everything from behind.

Lord Yelu glanced at the crowd, pausing especially for two seconds longer on Chen Jie.

It was an act of intimidation; he was telling Chen Jie not to think that just because Nan Batian was taken down, he could claim kingship over Mianshui. In reality, Chen Jie was just another puppet in his hand for the future.

I hope you’re smart enough to understand!

Chen Jie also looked towards Lord Yelu. Their eyes met, and Chen Jie slightly lowered his gaze, signaling his submission.

Seeing Chen Jie’s quick understanding, Lord Yelu shifted his attention away. Since Chen Jie knew when to advance and retreat and was aware of his status, there was no need for further intimidation.

That moment of intimidation was not only to make him act sensibly but also to express dissatisfaction. ”You hid the fact that you know the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms from me, Lord Yelu. I am not pleased, and the consequences are severe. I hope you won’t be so presumptuous in the future.”

Chen Jie understood Lord Yelu’s message, bowing his head in submission and apology.

In a brief exchange of looks, the two had communicated their thoughts. Intelligent people often do so; a single glance can make it clear what the other person is thinking and trying to convey!

Their exchange was complete.

Meanwhile, Nan Batian had already landed; clutching his chest, he felt as though his ribcage was nearly broken, pain surging through him.

Pulling open the front of his shirt, he saw a dark, bruise-like handprint on his chest.

And there was also a knife wound on his back; blood had stained his entire back red. Nan Batian knew he couldn’t let the blood flow freely, or he would bleed to death.

He clasped his hands together, and the next moment, a surge of Cold Ice Gang Qi emanated from his back, instantly freezing the wound, stopping the blood flow by forming clumps of frozen blood.

Chen Jie raised his eyebrows slightly upon witnessing this; the Mystic Ice Power could also be used in such a way—another lesson learned.

Emergency treatment!

Chen Jie nodded, feeling that Nan Batian’s mastery of the Mystic Ice Power was impeccable.

Indeed, as a master who had roamed Mianshui for over twenty years, he had his worth.

It was just a pity that today was destined to be his downfall.

As Chen Jie reflected, Lord Yelu waved his hand, ”Capture him!”

Hearing this, several eager subordinates, believing Nan Batian to be severely injured and incapable of resistance, charged at him.

But they weren’t foolish; they knew they couldn’t get too close to such a violent man.

Thus, groups of them threw out their Thief Catching Nets, while others with swords and sabers closed in.

Swish, a net was thrown, quickly ensnaring Nan Batian.

The net was made of robust ropes, each as thick as a thumb, strong enough that once entrapped, even an ordinary thief couldn’t escape.

Seeing Nan Batian captured, one of the underlings shouted, ”Hahaha, go for it! Capture Nan Batian alive, fortune and glory are at hand!”

With that shout, the group charged toward Nan Batian, most of them from Qin Ying’s Eagle Hall, some from Liu Laoguai’s Guild Cao, but disciples from Chen Jiusi’s White Tiger Hall remained still.

At that moment, the underlings swarmed over.

Nan Batian’s face turned dark, and then suddenly, underlings surrounding him were sent flying as a loud bang echoed through the air, tearing the Thief Catching Net to shreds.

Hmm!

This move from Nan Batian left everyone with their eyes wide open; they could visibly see Gang Qi emanating from around him!

A sign of Holding Core!

Seeing this, everyone present was astounded. On the brink of battle, he was on the verge of a breakthrough into the Holding Core Realm!

He had been trapped in the Late Stage of Energy Transformation for twenty years, missing just the right opportunity, and unexpectedly, it had come at this moment.

Witnessing this from a distance, Zhao Ya’s gaze became more focused. ”Breaking through in the midst of battle, this Nan Batian is quite interesting!”

Ah Da remarked, ”Nan Batian’s talent is not weak, and after being immersed in the Energy Transformation for so many years, a breakthrough is not surprising. However, it’s incredible that he could make such a breakthrough at this moment of life and death!”

Ah Er commented, ”It’s a pity, it’s a bit too late. Even if he’s making a breakthrough now, with such severe injuries, especially after taking a hit from Yelu’s Sky Splitting Palm which has damaged his vital points, he won’t be able to use much of his strength.”

”Moreover, breaking through on his own without the aid of Elixirs requires a calm period of adjustment to use the full combat power.”

Hearing this, Ah San added, ”Hmm, even without injuries, his strength should have increased more than by thirty percent compared to earlier. But now with his severe injuries, his strength is far less than before, so the breakthrough is meaningless and of no use at all!”
