Peerless Dragon Sovereign

Chapter 700 700: Sword Slays Huo Jiantang

Upon hearing that Huo Mingxian wanted to return all of his parents' treasures, even someone as strong as Chu Nan couldn't help but pause in his actions!

At this moment, Huo Jiantang's face flushed red with excitement, while a glimmer of hope flashed in Huo Mingxian's originally dull eyes.

Since Chu Nan had already stopped his actions, it indicated that there was still a possibility for negotiation in this matter.

Huo Mingxian took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then spoke: "Chu Nan, if you spare Huo Jiantang's life today, the Huo family will absolutely not trouble you in the future."

"The grudges between us will be written off. Not only that, but I will also return all the relics belonging to your parents to you."

After saying this, he paused for a moment and continued, "These relics are extraordinary, and among them is a supreme treasure that only you and your sibling can use. Perhaps... in those treasures, there are also some words left by your parents just before they departed.

"Are you not at all curious or eager to know what they are?"

Huo Mingxian urged earnestly, even taking out a small and delicate storage bag from his bosom, waving it in front of Chu Nan.

Others might not understand the significance of this gesture, but to Chu Nan, it was clearer than anything.

He knew his parents were peerless powerhouses who once shook the lower realm, their status far beyond ordinary Celestial Martial artists of the Nine Heavens.

Therefore, the things they left behind must be rare treasures, and any one of them could likely cause a sensation throughout the Celestial Crossing Realm! Today, Huo Mingxian actually proposed returning these treasures to Chu Nan, undoubtedly bringing him immeasurable benefits.

"Chu Nan absolutely can't miss this opportunity!" Huo Mingxian thought to himself, confident in his judgment.

She believed firmly that once Chu Nan obtained these relics, he would surely rise to greatness in the future, achieving extraordinary feats that no one could resist the temptation of.

Thinking of this, Huo Mingxian wore a triumphant smile, as if she could already see the day when Chu Nan's fame would spread across the world.

For Chu Nan, the most important thing was the possibility of his parents' last words being among these relics, something he was unwilling to miss.

"Put down the sword and let the Huo family martial artists leave, and I will return the storage bag to you."

Huo Mingxian's voice was gentle and persuasive, as if it carried an irresistible magic, causing everyone present to involuntarily focus their gaze on Chu Nan.

Everyone wanted to know what decision Chu Nan would make in the face of such tempting conditions.

Chu Nan's eyes flickered with complex light, filled with struggle, hesitation, and reluctance.

However, when his gaze met Huo Mingxian's beautiful and profound eyes, he suddenly paused, then his lips slightly curved into a carefree smile: "Alright, alright!"

Huo Mingxian felt a surge of joy in her heart, never expecting Chu Nan to agree to her request so easily!

This meant that Huo Jiantang could finally escape this crisis, and Huo Jiantang, seeing this, felt a sigh of relief and was secretly grateful to have narrowly escaped death again.

Just when everyone thought Chu Nan would accept this deal without hesitation, a shocking change suddenly occurred!

In an instant, a dazzling sword light streaked across Huo Jiantang's sight like lightning.

Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, the head of a Nine Heavens level strongman was severed cleanly and soared high into the sky.

The expression on that head seemed frozen in time, forever lingering in the ecstasy of having just escaped death.

And the one who caused all this was Chu Nan, gripping the mysterious Golden Sun Bloodbath Sword!

As the setting sun stained with blood, the youngest Nine Heavens martial artist of Ba Yang City finally fell.

"Chu Nan, what are you doing!" Huo Mingxian in the holy-grade Spirit Martial exclaimed, looking at the scene in disbelief—Chu Nan had decapitated Huo Jiantang without any hesitation!

Her heart was instantly overwhelmed with anger and despair, as Chu Nan had already agreed to their terms, but now he suddenly went back on his word, which was unacceptable to her.

Huo Mingxian struggled desperately, trying to break free to rescue Huo Jiantang. Based on her understanding of Martial Dao, even a powerful Nine Heavens martial artist, if timely treated, could still be revived despite being beheaded.

"Huo Mingxian, stop wasting your efforts," Lu Daochang chuckled coldly, tightly restraining Huo Mingxian, giving her no chance to escape.

At this moment, Lu Daochang even harbored the thought of killing Huo Mingxian on the spot.

Huo Mingxian was furious; she defended against Lu Daochang's attacks with all her strength, while angrily shouting at Chu Nan: "Chu Nan, you despicable scoundrel! Why are you doing this?"

"Don't you want to get the relics your parents left behind? The opportunities hidden within them are beyond your wildest dreams!"

"Just to kill my nephew, are you willing to give up these treasures?"

Her voice was filled with resentment and unwillingness, yet Chu Nan acted as if he hadn't heard, standing there quietly, his gaze cold and resolute.

Facing Huo Mingxian's words, Chu Nan seemed oblivious.

His eyes fixed steadily ahead, without hesitation he swung his sword again. The sharp sword light flashed across the sky like lightning, carrying unparalleled might.

Under the sweep of the sword light, Huo Jiantang's previously intact head was instantly shattered, turning into a mass of crimson blood mist.

Huo Mingxian watched this unbearable scene helplessly, seemingly falling into madness, her eyes blood-red, her face ferocious.

However, Chu Nan's gaze showed no signs of fluctuating, even revealing a hint of cool ruthlessness.

Not only did he destroy Huo Jiantang's head, he then swung the longsword to obliterate his physical body as well.

With a loud "bang," Huo Jiantang's body completely exploded, scattering into countless pieces of flesh, as a rich scent of blood instantly filled the air.

After completing this act, Chu Nan had no intention of stopping.

With a single thought, fierce flames surged around him, activating his heart technique to mobilize the purest and strongest power within.

The flames shot up like a fire dragon, rapidly engulfing the surrounding blood mist. In an instant, the fire blazed skyward, burning the blood mist clean, leaving no trace.

Finally, Chu Nan summoned the emperor-grade Spirit Martial battle soul banner, suddenly opening the yin-filled Yin Evil Celestial Eye.

Through the Celestial Eye's scrutiny, he quickly discovered Huo Jiantang's soul hidden in the void.

Chu Nan's lips curled slightly, revealing a chilling smile.
