Peerless Dragon Sovereign

Chapter 702: Huo Nianfang Escapes

Chu Nan gently opened the True Martial Holy Hall, as if opening a blood-thirsty mouth, inviting Huo Mingxian like a guest to a trap.

This True Martial Holy Hall had endless power; as long as Huo Mingxian dared to step inside, even if she was a peak Unification Realm expert, she wouldn’t be able to escape alive.

Outside, Chu Nan couldn’t do anything to Huo Mingxian for a while, but if she entered the True Martial Holy Hall,

life and death would be at Chu Nan’s discretion with a mere thought.

Everyone fixed their eyes, wanting to see what the outcome of the battle would be.

However, much to Chu Nan’s disappointment, the seemingly furious and crazed Huo Mingxian did not lose her reason and charge into the True Martial Holy Hall.

She stopped dozens of meters away from the True Martial Holy Hall, her eyes still bloodshot but not as frenzied as before.

Huo Mingxian stood still for a long time, the murderous intent in her eyes igniting and extinguishing repeatedly.

Finally, she made up her mind, saying in a deep voice, "Chu Nan, if I don’t avenge this grudge, I swear I am no human."

"I’ll spare you today, but next time I will surely claim your life!"

After giving Chu Nan a long, hard look, Huo Mingxian ignored the Huo family martial artists being devoured by dragon beasts and turned into a stream of light, flying away.

At this point, she understood in her heart that continuing the fight held no meaning.

No good result could possibly come from it.

Moreover, the power obtained through mysterious means was like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to extinguish at any moment.

If she stayed any longer, leaving this place would truly be impossible.

Lu Daochang didn’t try to stop Huo Mingxian from leaving since at this moment her power rivaled that of a Nine Heavens peak expert!

In such a balanced power situation, if one side is dead set on escaping, the other side could never catch up.

With Huo Mingxian’s escape, the remaining Huo family martial artists seemed to lose their final lifeline.

Their faces filled with despair and fear.

Faced with the Ancestor Sect’s counterattack, they were helpless and could only be slaughtered.

The dragon beasts opened their blood-thirsty mouths, mercilessly devouring one Huo family martial artist after another.

Each chew came with the sound of bones cracking, chilling to the core.

The Ancestor Sect’s martial artists, like a pack of wolves, frenziedly charged at these invaders.

Their spirit martial weapons gleamed with sharp cold light, each slash bringing forth a trail of bloody lotus flowers.

The cries of the Huo family martial artists echoed one after another, with pleas for mercy never ceasing.

However, both the fierce dragon beasts and the frenzied Ancestor Sect martial artists ignored these sounds.

In their eyes, only slaughter and hatred existed.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the Huo family martial artists lay in a pool of blood.

Due to the presence of the dragon beasts, even their corpses were soon gone.

This gruesome scene deeply shocked the martial artists from various major forces hiding in the shadows, observing the battle.

The emergence of three Nine Heavens realm experts in the Huo family was shocking enough.

But now, the Ancestor Sect had Chu Nan, who could easily slay Nine Heavens martial artists!

Nine Heavens martial artists are incredibly powerful.

Since the separation of the two realms and the beginning of mastering the Nine Heavens cultivation method,

experts like these have always been as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

The death of a Nine Heavens martial artist was even rarer.

In this dignified Imperial Capital, it had been a thousand years since a Nine Heavens expert had fallen.

Yet today, the Huo family birthed the youngest Nine Heavens martial artist.

Ironically, this young Nine Heavens martial artist was the shortest-lived of all.

At this moment, Lu Daochang and Chu Nan stood in the void, their powerful aura intimidating the surrounding strong races.

The royal Ji family was also greatly shocked.

If Chu Nan could kill a Nine Heavens expert like Huo Jiantang, he could slay other Nine Heavens martial artists as well.

In an instant, all the strong races fell into deep fear and chaos.

Chu Nan wasn’t from any strong race or noble royal family; he was like a mysterious black horse appearing out of nowhere, catching everyone off guard.

As long as he remained in this Imperial Capital, sooner or later the existing power balance would be turned upside down.

Under his sword, at least one strong family would vanish into thin air, and that family could be any of them.

Except for the Huo family’s royal clan.

The Huo family had two Nine Heavens martial artists and could defend the clan using arrays against any assault.

The latter was the de facto controller of the Celestial Crossing Realm, sitting in the domain’s central royal family, and no one knew the depth of their foundation.

If Chu Nan wanted to expand his power, he would certainly target other families.

Martial artists of all the strong races were filled with anxiety and unease.

But they didn’t know that Chu Nan had already controlled the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall and Slaughter Emperor Sect, two powerful and terrifying forces.

In the near future, when Lu Daochang steps out of the Celestial Crossing Realm, he would gain the support of the second only to the royal family’s Ancestor Sect!

Despite the considerable disaster suffered by the Ancestor Sect, its foundation remained unshaken.

In fact, if they hadn’t faced attacks from two supreme Nine Heavens experts, the Ancestor Sect wouldn’t have sustained such severe damage.

If this information were known by the royal families and strong races, they would be even more shocked and take it even more seriously.

"Brother, you’ve become so powerful that even I can’t see through you now!"

Chu Nianfang looked at Chu Nan with immense joy because not only was he her only family member in this world, but also her mental support and reliance.

Chu Nan gazed into Chu Nianfang’s eyes with a hint of tenderness and a trace of guilt.

He softly said, "You’ve suffered this time, I swear from today on, nothing like this will ever happen again."

Though successfully slaying the Nine Heavens’ Huo Jiantang made Chu Nan incredibly elated, deep inside, he felt more fearful.

What if he hadn’t returned in time today? The consequences were simply unimaginable!

If he had been a step late, he might have left behind an irreparable regret.

Everything that happened today made Chu Nan profoundly realize that his vulnerabilities were too many.

Whether it’s the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect, the Spirit Corpse Sect, his sister Chu Nianfang, Gu Nianxue, or possibly the Ancestor Sect, they are all his concerns.

When he is present, these people might be safe temporarily; but if he failed to show up in time, who could ensure their safety?

Thinking of this made Chu Nan’s heart grow heavier...

For certain, there would be irreversible and irreparable events that would occur!
