"Indeed, I do wish to see what the man named Chen is plotting!"
Even though he knew there would be an ambush on Cangyun Peak!
The subordinates of the Blood Emperor were completely unafraid!
With over a hundred Golden Core stage powerhouses among them, why would they fear a mere junior like Chen Nan?
Fifteen minutes later!
The Blood Emperor led his men up Cangyun Peak!
At the same time!
The surrounding sky darkened!
Dark clouds churned!
A vast heavenly might descended upon the world!
But it did not draw the attention of the Blood Emperor's men!
After all, they were all beings who had survived heavenly tribulations, they knew the drill!
They knew that as long as they didn't enter the opponent's lightning tribulation, they wouldn't be affected!
"Are you Chen Nan?"
Seeing Chen Nan chanting scriptures under the mourning hall, the Blood Emperor spoke with a cold voice!
Chen Nan slowly looked at him and said, "Offer incense, pay respects, and kneel here for three days of repentance, and I will spare your lives!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Blood Emperor's subordinates were all enraged!
"Presumptuous!"
"Chen, who gave you the courage to say such things?"
"You are merely an ant in the Foundation Establishment stage; any one of us can crush you!"
"Chen, if you don't want to die, kneel and beg for mercy now, and the Blood Emperor will surely show mercy and let you live!"
"Indeed, if you don't listen to our advice, this day next year will be your death anniversary!"
"A mere ant dares to challenge the dignity of the Blood Emperor, do you truly think you are invincible just because you are the Sect Master of the Huashan Sword Sect and don't put other powerhouses in your eyes?"
"Sect Master Chen, the world is vast, and there are many powerful individuals. In our eyes, you are like an ant! I advise you not to think too highly of yourself!"
The Blood Emperor raised his hand, and the scene instantly fell silent!
"Now that you are alone on Cangyun Peak, I wonder how you intend to kill us!" he said with a playful expression, not taking Chen Nan seriously at all!
"So, you don't intend to pay respects and repent as I said?" Chen Nan narrowed his eyes slightly!
Boom!
The Blood Emperor made his move, and the mourning hall instantly turned to dust!
Countless memorial tablets also vanished into the heavens and earth!
As a peak Golden Core stage powerhouse, he could easily shatter a mountain with a casual palm strike; a mere mourning hall was nothing in his eyes!
"You are refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!" Chen Nan's eyes turned bloodshot!
The Blood Emperor said with a half-smile, "Yes, I am the Blood Emperor, one of the eighteen Heavenly Kings of hell. I am usually offered toasts, so much so that I find it bland when people offer me drinks now!"
"Since I can have a forfeit now, why not?"
He paused and then said, "May I ask you a question?"
Chen Nan replied, "You are about to die, so don't just ask one, ten is fine too!"
The Blood Emperor suppressed his anger and said, "Your Huashan Sword Sect's principle is to save all living beings, but why are none of your disciples guarding Cangyun Peak?"
"How could they bear to leave you alone on the mountain to die?"
"Tell me, if they can disregard their own Sect Master's life!"
"How can you save the world and all living beings?"
"Don't you find the slogan of saving all living beings laughable?"
Chen Nan said coldly, "Who says I am alone here?"
The Blood Emperor scoffed, "Are those eighteen pseudo-core stage powerhouses your trump card? If so, it would be too boring!"
Boom, boom, boom!
A series of thunderous roars suddenly echoed!
The surrounding vision instantly turned gloomy!
As if it were night!
Only around Cangyun Peak was a ray of sunlight falling from the sky!
A faint smile appeared on Chen Nan's face, "Perhaps to you, their strength is weak, but right now, they are undergoing tribulation!"
"What? Tribulation?" Lu Tong exclaimed in shock, "They've blocked our retreat! Damn it!"
The others also looked around!
Apart from Cangyun Peak, tribulation clouds enveloped all directions!
Directly blocking their escape route!
If they wanted to escape Cangyun Peak, they would have to pass through someone else's lightning tribulation!
If that were the case, they would be targeted by the tribulation!
Even though they were all powerhouses who had survived heavenly tribulations, they knew that straying into someone else's tribulation would result in a terrifying bombardment!
For a moment!
The atmosphere became oppressive!
Even though Chen Nan's strength was weak!
They still couldn't figure out his true strength!
Or what his trump card truly was!
"Boss, this brat is an ant. You don't need to make a move. I'll deal with this fellow first!" Cui Huai's eyes sharpened, and he drew his long sword, a terrifying sword energy instantly slashing towards Chen Nan's neck!
The next moment!
Chen Nan's figure gradually vanished into the heavens and earth!
What Cui Huai had destroyed was merely a clone of Chen Nan!
Just then, Chen Nan's voice echoed from a distance, "Since I dared to let you ascend the mountain, I am naturally not afraid of you!"
He stood on the eaves of the main hall of Cangyun Peak, his gaze indifferent!
Instantly!
A Sword Immortal puppet appeared behind him!
Without any warning!
It didn't even cause a ripple in space, or the slightest breeze!
The sudden appearance of the Sword Immortal puppet surprised the Blood Emperor!
As a peak Golden Core stage powerhouse, every blade of grass and tree on Cangyun Peak was within his perception!
But how did this man in green escape his perception and arrive here?
Could it be that this person's strength was above his own?
The others also felt unease and dread!
Although they all possessed Golden Core stage strength, if this man in green was a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, they would be no match for him!
"Martial Uncle, please help your junior slay the Blood Emperor!" Chen Nan bowed to the Sword Immortal puppet!
"A trivial matter!"
The Sword Immortal puppet clenched his fist in the air, and a blunt heavy sword appeared in his hand!
"It's a top-grade spirit artifact?"
The Blood Emperor gasped!
He thought of his own prized mid-grade spirit artifact long sword!
And felt deeply ashamed!
To think that the dignified Blood Emperor wielded a mid-grade spirit artifact, it was truly embarrassing!
However, his eyes soon gleamed with dazzling light, "This top-grade spirit artifact of yours is mine now!"
Although he was wary of the Sword Immortal puppet!
The Blood Emperor knew that if the opponent truly possessed Nascent Soul stage cultivation, they wouldn't even need to use a weapon to obliterate him!
And now, the opponent directly revealing a top-grade spirit artifact clearly showed a lack of confidence in their own strength!
Instantly!
The Blood Emperor transformed into a streak of blood-red light and charged towards the Sword Immortal puppet!
As a peak Golden Core stage powerhouse, his strength was terrifying. With a raise of his hand, winds and clouds shifted, the wind roared like thunder!
The Sword Immortal puppet also possessed the strength of a ninth-layer Golden Core stage cultivator. Although he couldn't cast spells, his physical body was formidable, especially when paired with the blunt heavy sword. He could easily contend with the Blood Emperor!
"Chen Nan, die!"
Cui Huai formed hand seals, and his flying sword shot through the air, exuding a destructive aura!
"Sword, come!"
Chen Nan raised his arm and shouted, and his Nine Bends Flying Sword flew out, distorting the void and clashing with Cui Huai's flying sword!
However, he had ultimately not yet entered the Golden Core stage. Even though he had the ability to kill opponents of higher cultivation!
Cui Huai was a ninth-layer Golden Core stage powerhouse!
The opponent's flying sword broke through the Nine Bends and grazed his cheek!
A sword mark appeared on Chen Nan's face, and a drop of blood fell to the ground!
"You will all die soon!" Chen Nan grinned!
He could sense the aura of the Immortal Slaying Vine.
