Peerless Dragon Sovereign

Chapter 697 697: Crushing Huo Jiantang

Especially with the help of Huo Mingxian, he made rapid progress, becoming a Nine Heavens powerhouse under the shocked gaze of everyone.

Not long ago, he even crossed into the Nine Heavens realm, becoming a powerhouse envied by countless people.

Yet Huo Jiantang, who had never faced setbacks, suffered repeated heavy losses before Chu Nan, each time with more severe consequences.

If he didn't kill Chu Nan, Huo Jiantang couldn't sleep well; he was restless, consumed by the flames of anger.

Thus he immediately transformed into a stream of light rushing towards Chu Nan. This time, it was not only for revenge but also to kill Chu Nan in the budding stage, preventing him from becoming a rival to the Huo family.

The Holy Martial Longsword emitted a brilliant silver sword qi radiance. This sword was extremely vicious, seemingly capable of cutting through everything.

Just when everyone thought Chu Nan was about to be cut in half by this sword, Chu Nan softly murmured, and his figure flashed suddenly.

Following that, with lightning speed, he also slashed out a sword.

Clang!

Both wielding sacred Spirit Martial Longswords, their strengths clashed fiercely in the air, causing the entire space to begin to tremble, as if something terrifying was being born beneath Ba Yang City.

In just a few dozen breaths, Chu Nan and Huo Jiantang fought hundreds of rounds.

Everyone believed that Chu Nan, who was not in the Nine Heavens, would certainly be defeated or even captured and killed by Huo Jiantang.

However, to their astonishment, Chu Nan and Huo Jiantang fought to a standstill, with the former faintly suppressing the latter, caught in an inconclusive struggle for a time.

"How can this be? What cultivation does Chu Nan have to contend with Elder Huo Jiantang?"

"Terrifying, too terrifying. If we don't kill him, our Huo family will have no peace."

"Elder Huo Jiantang, quickly kill Chu Nan."

...

Another sword light flashed, and an endless torrent of sword light erupted from Huo Jiantang's body. This sword utilized nearly ten parts of his full strength.

He wanted to kill Chu Nan in the Ancestor Sect, in Imperial Capital Ba Yang City, with the most powerful posture of the Nine Heavens, to expand his prestige!

"Chu Nan, die for me!"

The Holy Martial Longsword swiped across, and at this moment, Huo Jiantang didn't care whether Chu Nan could withstand the blow; he just had to kill him.

Only in this way could he vent his inner anger.

"A trifling trick, courting death!"

As the sword qi approached, Chu Nan immediately punched out.

The fourth-level Power Martial Intent and the fourth-level Sword Dao Martial Intent fused at this moment, gathering a terrifying destructive power between heaven and earth.

Boom!

Buzz!

Explosions and sword hums burst out simultaneously, their shocking power sweeping everything away, directly forcing Huo Jiantang's body to retreat hundreds of meters, with the hand seal left by Chu Nan's punch still on his body.

Huo Jiantang's body slammed heavily onto the ground, looking extremely miserable.

But Chu Nan stood in the air, holding the Golden Sun Bloodbath Sword, seeming like a powerful Sword Immortal newly emerged into the world.

Nobody could have imagined that Huo Jiantang, a Nine Heavens powerhouse, would be knocked to the ground by Chu Nan in front of everyone.

This was something they dared not even dream of, let alone witness.

"Chu Nan, being repelled by you just now was my temporary negligence. Next, I will focus entirely on killing you, leaving you with no hope of escape."

"Today, only one prodigy can stand here in the Ancestor Sect!"

Violent energy erupted once again from Huo Jiantang, emitting an incredibly terrifying power, even stronger than before by three parts.

The fierce sword qi swept through everything as Huo Jiantang regrouped and again charged up close to Chu Nan, slashing out with tremendous speed that crumbled everything in its path.

Before the sword qi had even fallen, it had already sliced through all the buildings in all directions with ease, making them crumble like tofu under the power of the Nine Heavens Martial Artist.

The sword qi struck again towards Chu Nan, far stronger than any previous sword qi.

The unleashed power seemed capable of slaying all martial artists below the Nine Heavens.

"As expected of Elder Huo Jiantang, a Nine Heavens powerhouse. This power is terrifying."

"Elder Huo Jiantang was born for the sword; his understanding of the Sword Dao has surpassed his peers since childhood. He is the foremost prodigy of the Imperial Capital's Sword Dao. How can Chu Nan have the capacity to contend with Elder Huo Jiantang?"

"Chu Nan is destined to die this time; he is too arrogant. Previously in the Imperial Capital, he killed many martial artists from the strong races, causing innumerable slaughter before coming to the Imperial Capital."

"Exactly, Chu Nan is a grievous sinner. Elder Huo Jiantang is delivering heavenly justice this time, not only killing the instigator but also allowing this demon nest to utterly dissipate!"

...

The martial artists from the Huo family were immensely excited, believing that Chu Nan couldn't withstand such a terrifying blow.

Yet just as all the Huo family martial artists thought victory was in their hands, Chu Nan's next move left them astonished.

The Golden Sun Bloodbath Sword, moving faster than lightning, erupted with the power of light and dark, mixing sword qi as it slashed towards Huo Jiantang.

The moment the two sharp swords clashed again, Huo Jiantang's body was blasted back hundreds of meters, apparently unable to withstand the force of the countershock.

Huo Jiantang barely steadied himself, gasping in amazement: "Could it be that you have more than one fourth-level Martial Intent on you?"

The sword Chu Nan unleashed just now was too fast, too powerful; a simple fourth-level Sword Intent could not possibly produce such terrifying power.

Previously, when repelled by Power Martial Intent and Sword Dao Martial Intent, he thought it was an illusion.

However, when Chu Nan again exhibited the fourth-level Light and Dark Martial Intent, Huo Jiantang horrifically realized that Chu Nan had as many cards as he did before.

But Chu Nan coldly laughed and said, "What difference does it make if I tell you, or if I don't? What you should care about now is how to die happily!"

Saying so, Chu Nan attacked again.

With his Heavenly Escape skill, his body technique speed became incredibly fast, arriving instantly before Huo Jiantang, then wielding his long sword, he launched a frenzied bombardment with various fourth-level Martial Intents at Huo Jiantang.

Huo Jiantang was merely a newcomer to the Nine Heavens, barely stronger than Jiang Meier. Forget Lu Daochang and Qiu Huang; even Ji Shenhao could easily defeat him.

And Chu Nan, who had defeated Ji Shenhao, naturally could crush Huo Jiantang effortlessly.

With one sword slash, the brilliant sword qi forced Huo Jiantang to continuously retreat, but before he could stabilize, Chu Nan's second sword had already arrived.

Chu Nan mastered the merging Yin Yang Cloud Sea, his power being an exceptionally unique existence across the entire Celestial Crossing Realm.

Evidently without cultivating Nine Heavens, Chu Nan's strength was already comparable to a Nine Heavens cultivator.

Rip!

A sword tore through Huo Jiantang's body, blood gushing out, staining the ground crimson.

An endless fury appeared on Huo Jiantang's face. He couldn't accept being defeated again by Chu Nan; he was the youngest Nine Heavens martial artist in the history of the Huo family.

He refuses to allow himself to lose.
