Dashing Student-Chapter 1197: Overwhelming Counterkill

The Gu Family Ancestor could no longer maintain his image of a high master; he never expected that this little bastard before him could possess an endless array of astounding trump cards.

Where did he get so many enviable techniques? Sword Array, Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, Hongmeng Origin Thunder...

Who knows if he has more techniques that could threaten me?

At that moment, the "Wood Cyan Dragon" dragon head he summoned suddenly exploded, and a gigantic creature crashed to the ground, revealing a massive ape.

Shi Zhongsheng roared madly, grabbing the rolling vines with his body, as if two giant beasts were fighting each other, causing the ground to tremble incessantly.

Chen Nan freed himself and charged directly at the Gu Family Ancestor, his gaze firm. Even though his body was already drenched in blood, his expression remained unchanged.

This demeanor inexplicably made the Gu Family Ancestor feel anxious, as if he were facing a peerless fierce beast that could devour him at any moment.

"This boy must not be left alive!"

The Gu Family Ancestor immediately made up his mind. Seeing that Chen Nan was already within ten zhang of him, he beckoned with his finger, and a wooden thorn suddenly rose from the ground, piercing through Chen Nan’s body.

As blood dripped endlessly, Chen Nan condensed a Wind Blade in his hand, severed the wooden thorn, and continued to walk towards the Gu Family Ancestor, each step resolute.

"Even if you can get close to me, so what? Do you really think with your cultivation you can kill me? Stop dreaming!"

At nine zhang, another wooden thorn pierced through Chen Nan’s right arm, making it hang limp.

At eight zhang, it was the left arm, cascading blood dyed the wooden thorn red. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

At seven zhang, the left leg.

At six zhang, the right leg.

...

By the time Chen Nan dragged his heavily injured body within three zhang of the Gu Family Ancestor, seven wooden thorns had pierced through him completely.

If it were any other cultivator of the same realm, they would be in excruciating pain if not dead, but Chen Nan merely tightened his brow.

This made the Gu Family Ancestor even more panicked, roaring, "Aren’t you afraid of death? As long as you kneel before me and beg for mercy, I’ll spare your life!"

But Chen Nan still didn’t respond to him, just mechanically moving forward, each step leaving a bloody footprint.

This attitude infuriated the Gu Family Ancestor, unwilling to admit that he felt fear towards a dying young cultivator, and only by thoroughly killing Chen Nan could he be relieved.

He beckoned with his finger again, and dense wooden thorns, like a torrential rain, enveloped Chen Nan, making him look like a porcupine, his body pierced by arm-thick wooden thorns.

"Die for me!"

The Gu Family Ancestor roared, this time aiming the wooden thorn at Chen Nan’s brow.

Yet, at that moment, Chen Nan had already stepped within three paces of the Gu Family Ancestor, his previously weakened appearance vanished, replaced by a gaze full of murderous intent.

"Not good!"

It was only then did the Gu Family Ancestor realize that Chen Nan had deliberately accepted his attacks to get close enough for a "Killing Strike," his feigned weakness a ruse to lower his guard.

Sure enough, he was defenseless at this moment, while Chen Nan had already bared his fangs.

"Heaven-Slaying Art!"

A furious roar, a blood-colored phantom like an Asura appeared behind Chen Nan, wielding a long halberd, slashing fiercely at the Gu Family Ancestor.

At that moment, a scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, piles of skeletons, flooded the Gu Family Ancestor’s mind, as though he were falling into endless hell.

One must know that the "Heaven-Slaying Art" gathers Blood Evil Qi; those with unstable wills are easily influenced. By the time the Gu Family Ancestor snapped out of it, a deep wound had been cleaved across his chest, blood gushing out.

Immediately after, Chen Nan suddenly erupted, shattering all the wooden thorns stuck in him, while a Dragon Elephant phantom appeared behind him, golden flames surged from within.

Dragon Elephant Form!

Heaven Burning Technique!

With the blessing of both secret techniques, Chen Nan’s physical power had reached a terrifying level, yet he wasn’t satisfied. He used "Assassination Technique" to push the power of this strike to the limit.

As he threw a punch, the terrifying power slightly distorted the surrounding space, even his own physique struggling to endure the monstrous force, the skin on his fist splitting open.

This scene shocked the Gu Family Ancestor, who screamed in disbelief, "You are a body cultivator?"

It was only after fighting for so long did he realize his enemy practiced both martial and magical cultivation, but he understood this too late. Chen Nan exposed his physical power at this moment just for this final strike.

The fist, augmented by three secret techniques, viciously struck the Gu Family Ancestor’s head, which exploded with a dull "bang"!

Soon after, Chen Nan summoned the Demon Suppressing Sword, stabbing it fiercely from top to bottom into the Gu Family Ancestor’s body, even shattering his Golden Core, absorbing his remaining soul completely.

After doing all this, Chen Nan collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. This time, he had used all his techniques, even pretending to be weak to lower the Gu Family Ancestor’s guard, barely managing to kill this Golden Core Peak powerhouse.

Yet now, his body trembled uncontrollably, his mana depleted to the point that escape was impossible.

If the Gu Family Ancestor had been a bit more cautious towards him, it would have been his death today.

Scanning with Divine Sense, he discovered that the mountain’s rear was already teeming with Gu Family cultivators, unable to enter due to the Star Constellation Sword Formation.

Chen Nan took a deep breath, wiped the blood off his face, making himself appear even more ferocious. Shi Zhongsheng, maintaining Fatian Xiangdi, came behind him.

Then he dismantled the sword array, and the Gu Family cultivators rushed in.

Spectators saw the devastated mountain, the ground as if experiencing an apocalypse, and even three-colored flames burning on the ground.

These traces seemed to narrate just how perilous the recent battle had been.

"Patriarch?"

Someone shouted, and under the light of the flames, they saw a massive creature, scaring them to sit on the ground.

At the feet of this great ape sat a man, his body covered in clots of blood, clearly the enemy who fought with the Gu Family Ancestor.

Chen Nan’s menacing appearance made the Gu Family cultivators wary. The Gu Family Patriarch stepped forward and coldly asked, "Your Excellency, where is our Gu Family Ancestor?"

"Heh." Chen Nan chuckled, revealing rows of white teeth, but his appearance frightened the Gu Family cultivators into taking a step back in unison, "Isn’t he right there?"

He beckoned with his finger, and the entangled Shadowless Silk suddenly extended, wrapping the headless corpse of the Gu Family Ancestor, casually throwing it before the Gu Family cultivators.

"You... killed the Patriarch?"

The Gu Family Patriarch screamed in disbelief, knowing that the Patriarch was their family’s backbone, now completely broken!
