Chapter 1763: Crap, Time to Run
"What...what's going on?"
The cultivators were astounded.
"HAHA, Zhu Zihuang had a plan in mind all along. The Zhu Zihuang that Qin Nan defeated at the start was only a clone made of his fire. Even a powerful eye-technique isn't able to see through it."
The Peerless Ruler of the Nongyan Tribe burst out laughing.
The cultivators immediately came to a realization.
Zhu Zihuang summoned a clone with his flame while he hid inside the stormy clouds. Judging from his aura, the other four Peerless Geniuses must have shared some of their power with him.
"No wonder I keep feeling something is strange about the clouds, and the few of you are weaker than I thought," Qin Nan said.
The flames in his eyes grew stronger.
He was quite surprised by Zhu Zihuang's approach. The battle blood in his body began to boil.
"Qin Nan, I've gathered their power and sacrificed a part of my Natal Fire Seed and a huge amount of time to execute this art!" Zhu Zihuang said thunderously.
His body began to emit an imperious aura. Many Human Immortals and the Earth Immortals with relatively weaker cultivation wore a pale face.
Qin Nan's eyes flickered with astonishment too.
He could clearly see a great force accumulating in the two sabers that Zhu Zihuang was holding with his Immortal Eyes of the Divine God of Battle.
"I'll now show you my saber art!"
Zhu Zihuang made his move. He swung the sabers rapidly, firing countless terrifying saber intents in all directions. However, the saber intents surprisingly did not move any further.
They froze and scattered across the place. However, as more saber intents appeared, everyone saw an indescribable saber flower blossoming between the Heavens and the Earth.
A murderous aura roamed across the place like a dragon.
Qin Nan and the area within a thousand zhang went through a series of explosions, as if an immortal mountain was collapsing upon them, making it impossible to move.
"The One and Only Saber Art!"
Zhu Zihuang's will reached its limit.
The enormous saber flower collapsed. Everything in the surroundings began to lose its brilliance. Even the laws of the Heavens and Earth were incomparable to it.
It was Zhu Zihuang's trump card.
It was the reason that Zhu Zihuang dared to challenge Qin Nan to a duel.
The One and Only Saber Art was something he had coincidentally obtained from a dead cultivator. The terrifying will was capable of shattering and destroying everything.
It was unbeatable, not even the Strongest Immortal, Qin Nan could stand a chance against it!
"Such a terrifying saber art!"
"Its will is just too imperious!"
"Who at the same level could possibly resist it!?"
The cultivators were astounded.
Even the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor was dumbfounded. He was obviously shocked by the incredible attack.
Immortal Emperor Jiangjue and the Peerless Rulers were slightly in joy. They did not expect Zhu Zihuang to give them such a great surprise.
At this rate, Zhu Zihuang had a great chance of defeating Qin Nan and killing him.
"The One and Only...Saber Art?"
Qin Nan still did not react. His lips curled upward while his eyes were filled with confidence and a hint of disdain.
"You dare call it the one and only without my approval?"
A brilliant blue light erupted from Qin Nan's back following an explosion, emitting an indescribably imperious aura.
Parts of crimson-golden armor surfaced on Qin Nan's figure and wrapped around him. His aura began to skyrocket.
Divine Battle Spirit, the Crimson-Golden Battle Armor!
"Take this!"
Qin Nan stood in the air. He ignored the enormous pressure collapsing onto him and swung the Heaven-Shattering Saber forward.
It was just a single slash, yet it contained all his battle intent and the saber intent of the Dao-Jolting Saber Art!
The surroundings were completely lit up within the blink of an eye.
Zhu Zihuang's eyes widened. He saw the saber flower being shattered into pieces. He also saw an illusionary saber slashing at him and severed something inside him.
BANG!
A strong wind blew in all directions.
Zhu Zihuang whom everyone thought was unbeatable completely lost his aura. He fell to the ground covered in blood after suffering serious injuries.
"He...he lost?"
Immortal Emperor Jiangjue, the Peerless Rulers, the Peerless Geniuses, and the cultivators could not believe their eyes.
Even the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor could not help but swallow his saliva.
Did Qin Nan really just destroy the terrifying saber art with just a single slash?
"The One and Only Saber Art! The One and Only Saber Art! I didn't think I would lose to you even after using it!"
Zhu Zihuang rose to his feet staggeringly. His expression kept shifting until he eventually let out a sigh and tossed a storage bag, "Qin Nan, you've won!"
The hearts of Gu Julin and the others shuddered. They all tossed a storage bag to Qin Nan too.
However, their eyes were full of discontent.
They hated the taste of defeat the most, especially as a Peerless Genius who was also a core disciple of their faction.
"But, Qin Nan, thank you!"
Zhu Zihuang took a deep breath and bowed slightly.
Gu Julin and the others brought their fists together too.
Even though they hated being defeated, they knew it would make them stronger.
"Thank you too!"
Qin Nan returned the gesture.
The five Peerless Geniuses were worthy opponents indeed. He had learned a lot from the duel too.
"These geniuses always like to do this. It doesn't matter if they lost or won, they would act so courteously in the end. Isn't the Martial World meant to be deceitful and cruel..."
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor murmured. However, the envious look in his eyes had exposed his true thoughts.
"I can see the island!"
"Mm? Why are they so many cultivators here?"
Meanwhile, several auras were approaching from the distance, followed by curious and doubtful voices.
"F**k me! Didn't they say they will only be here in a few hours? How are they here already? Why didn't they keep their words!?"
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor cursed when he sensed the dangerous auras approaching.
Xiu Shenliang's lips twisted.
-Is the Demon Emperor seriously condemning the others for not keeping their words?-
"Fall back!"
Qin Nan's expression shifted. He quickly grabbed the two's shoulders and flew into the gate without any hesitation.
