Everyone gasped in shock, their faces filled with horror.
A True Immortal level six expert's head had just been blown apart by Chen Nan's single punch!
This was a top-tier expert, even in the entire Immortal Realm!
Yet, this Earth Immortal realm cultivator had obliterated him with one blow.
Cai Jian was the most stunned.
How could this guy be so powerful? And why had he pretended to be so scared earlier? Did he find it amusing?
"I told you not to attack me, but you wouldn't listen!" Chen Nan said dismissively, flicking blood from his hand. "Who's to blame for this?"
To him, True Immortal cultivators were no different from ants.
Ye Qingshuang's expression turned grim. "We underestimated you, but you will still die today!"
He signaled his subordinates, and six mid-stage True Immortal experts simultaneously charged at Chen Nan, their blades radiating a chilling aura.
"You ants think you can kill me?" Chen Nan sneered. With a grasp, the middle-aged man's spear flew into his hand.
Though he didn't know spear techniques, he had practiced with a staff for a while. He wielded the spear like a staff and swung.
The air crackled with a sonic boom as the spear struck one of the men. A terrifying force surged through the weapon, causing the man to explode.
"Is he a demon?"
"How can he be so terrifying?"
"An Earth Immortal instantly killing True Immortals?"
"Even storytellers wouldn't dare to invent such a ridiculous plot!"
The bandits of Qingshuang Fort paled, filled with shock and unease. They couldn't believe a mere Earth Immortal junior could instantly kill True Immortal experts. Even seeing it firsthand, they found it hard to accept.
In moments, all six True Immortal experts were reduced to bloody mist by Chen Nan. He stood holding the spear, his white robe stained with blood, a fierce aura emanating from him.
"Stop wasting time and come at me together!" Chen Nan said calmly.
The Qingshuang Fort bandits trembled, intimidated by Chen Nan's ferocity. Despite their numbers, no one dared to step forward.
"What? Don't understand me?" Chen Nan's eyes narrowed. To the bandits' astonishment, he vanished from his spot.
The Great Roc technique was a spatial ability, impossible to track even for Immortal Emperor level experts. He seemed to have disappeared into thin air, filling the bandits with dread.
Suddenly, a spear materialized in the air, piercing a True Immortal expert's chest and impaling him. The spear reappeared, claiming another True Immortal's life.
"You're seeking death!" Ye Qingshuang roared, unleashing his sword towards the void.
A clang echoed as weapons met. Chen Nan reappeared in the air, looking at Ye Qingshuang with amusement. "Well, I underestimated you. I didn't realize you were an Immortal Emperor!"
"You deserve to die!" Ye Qingshuang's eyes blazed, and his sword erupted with countless sword qi, making the void tremble. It looked like a cloud, exuding a destructive aura.
Many believed Chen Nan was doomed, unable to withstand an Immortal Emperor's furious attack. But as the sword qi reached him, something bizarre happened. The countless sword qi stopped abruptly before Chen Nan.
Ye Qingshuang's face contorted in confusion. He tried to control the sword qi, but it was useless. He could sense them, yet they wouldn't move closer, as if an invisible barrier protected Chen Nan.
"A mere first-level Immortal Emperor, and you think you can kill me?" Chen Nan's lips curled into a disdainful smile. With a flick of his wrist, he threw the spear.
With a splash of crimson blood, the spear pierced Ye Qingshuang's body. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, looking down at the fist-sized wound in his chest. His eyes, filled with shock and fear, met Chen Nan's. "Who... who are you? Why are you so terrifyingly powerful?"
Everyone else's scalps tingled with a chilling dread. An Earth Immortal killing True Immortals was already unbelievable, but Ye Qingshuang was an Immortal Emperor! While the spear had only pierced his chest and wasn't fatal, they all knew that if Chen Nan had aimed for his head, Ye Qingshuang would be dead.
"Who am I?" Chen Nan chuckled. "Just an ordinary person!"
Ye Qingshuang spat out more blood. "Are you speaking human language? If you're ordinary, what does that make us? Trash?"
He immediately knelt. "Young master, I, Ye Qingshuang, have eyes but failed to see your true might. I shouldn't have ignored your advice. I beg you to show mercy and spare our lives!"
The other Qingshuang Fort experts followed suit, kneeling. For them, life was paramount, even above dignity. They didn't want to do this, but they were no match for Chen Nan.
Chen Nan sighed with feigned helplessness. "I actually hate killing. But I hate even more those who are given opportunities and fail to seize them! Like you. Didn't I offer you a chance to live? Why didn't you listen?"
His gaze sharpened, and the spear flew back, piercing the foreheads of the Qingshuang Fort bandits, including their leader Ye Qingshuang, like skewers. Despite their numbers and strength, they were no match for Chen Nan, who now possessed the power of a second-level Immortal Emperor.
After eliminating the Qingshuang Fort experts, Chen Nan spat. "You call yourselves bandits with such meager strength? I hate it when people disrupt my performance!" He then turned to the ashen-faced Cai Jian. "Senior Cai, where were we? If I recall correctly, you were about to attack me with your sword. Come, let's continue our scene!"
Cai Jian was stunned. You've already killed an Immortal Emperor. How can I possibly kill you?
