Dashing Student-Chapter 1240: Treasures All Over the Body

"Roar!"

The thunderous roar caused the cave to tremble incessantly, with stones "rustling" down. Jiao Yan savagely lunged at Chen Nan, spewing a foul stench from its bloody maw, its giant head like a small mountain!

Chen Nan stood upright at the forefront, his eyes cold but fearless because the Jiao Long before him was merely at the First-Layer Golden Core Realm. After so many years, he could finally use his realm to pressure others!

Originally planning a sneak attack for a quick kill to avoid much trouble—after all, Qilong Island was crawling with many from the Demon Clan, and what if more were drawn over?

However, he hadn’t expected Jiao Yan to devour a human upon arrival, a cruelty beyond words. His carefully gathered strength could only wound Jiao Yan slightly.

The Jiao Long Clan is indeed worthy of being one of the leaders among the Demon Clan, closely related to True Dragons, with physical prowess far exceeding that of ordinary demons.

"Stop for me!"

After a shout of anger, a terrifying shadow appeared behind him, and the massive power surged within his body, making his arms swell three sizes larger. His fist, as big as a sandbag, fiercely smashed forward, unleashing a whooshing, wind-splitting sound!

Boom!

After a loud crash, dust surged, enveloping both Chen Nan and Jiao Yan’s head, making the entire cave sway as if it would collapse.

The disciples of Sea Wave Island sat huddled together, eyes wide with despair. Recalling the scene of Jiao Yan devouring humans, they all trembled.

Although they desperately wished for Chen Nan to win, seeing the massive body of the Jiao Long, they extinguished their hopes. How could Chen Nan dream of using his flesh against the Jiao Long?

"It’s over, completely over now. I thought he pretended to faint for some hidden move, but I overestimated him..." A Sea Wave Island disciple said with a mournful face, crying.

As the dust gradually cleared, the previously despairing disciples suddenly widened their eyes, as if seeing a ghost.

"What the— is that even a human?"

Because there, Chen Nan stood unscathed, having only plowed a half-foot trench with his feet, retreating over a yard, yet had forcefully stopped Jiao Yan’s charge with his hands!

This shocking scene made the frightened female disciples’ eyes shine with excitement, hope rising in their hearts.

Chen Nan gritted his teeth, barely blocking Jiao Yan’s charge, feeling astonished. His cultivation was at the Third Layer of Golden Core Realm while Jiao Yan was only at the First Layer.

Yet despite the realm difference, their physical strength was nearly equal, showing the physical talent of the Demon Clan.

Jiao Yan was equally shocked. Facing human cultivators, those weaker would either have broken bones and tendons or shattered bodies after his charge, and even those with higher cultivation would be seriously injured.

For a cultivator to block him, how could he not be shocked?

Most importantly, at that moment, he sensed a familiar aura from Chen Nan.

Before Jiao Yan could ponder on that familiar aura, Chen Nan suddenly retreated, then his body soared, leaping atop Jiao Yan’s head. The Sword Chenyuan appeared in his hand, raised high before fiercely crashing down!

The astonishing power slightly distorted the space!

Even Jiao Yan was startled at such proximity and hurriedly shouted, "Wait, I..."

Bang!

The heavy sound of impact echoed in the cave, Jiao Yan’s head severely hit the ground, the rocks instantly crumbled like a spiderweb.

On its head appeared a deep dent, even the hard scales shattered by the strike, blood flowing out.

But the wound Chen Nan inflicted was insignificant compared to Jiao Yan’s enormous head, yet that immense force made his vision blur, his body twisting with pain.

The already precarious cave now seemed even more fragile, with large rocks falling, shocking the Sea Wave Island disciples who had just ignited hope.

Their bodies were weak, but the survival instinct unleashed their strength, helping each other run towards the cave’s exit, finally escaping at the moment of its collapse.

Outside, turbulent seawater lashed the shore as they stared blankly at the ruins, emotions indescribable, knowing both Chen Nan and Jiao Yan were buried beneath.

"A good person indeed," someone sighed deeply.

But just then, a huge rock atop the ruins flew a hundred yards high with a "boom," the ruins shook violently, and then Jiao Yan’s enormous body shot skyward from within.

Chen Nan stood firm atop the Jiao Long’s head, like roots taking hold, raining down punches, each punch carrying the Dragon Elephant Giant Power.

Though the area he could attack was small compared to Jiao Long, Chen Nan believed in persistence; he just had to keep attacking to bore through Jiao Yan’s head!

Jiao Yan soared into the sky, twisting in agony among the clouds, letting out a series of wails, finally unable to endure, plummeting into the sea.

Chen Nan was relentless, also diving into the water, determined not to give up, terrifying Jiao Yan. Taking advantage of the Jiao Long’s aquatic prowess, he fled desperately, but Chen Nan pursued closely, even using his Thunder Wings.

Even those idling on the shore of Sea Wave Island could see a water line rising on the sea’s surface, rapidly extending into the distance.

"Will he... win?" A female disciple cautiously asked.

They were all still poisoned, unable to use their mana, pinning their hopes on Chen Nan’s victory, for otherwise, they faced only death.

"He will win for sure! I saw that senior brother’s astonishing strength; he’ll surely come back to save us!" Another quickly responded, trying to convince himself.

Beneath the sea, as Chen Nan pursued relentlessly, he heard Jiao Yan continuously shouting ahead, "Stop chasing, I realize my mistake, I offended you, but I’ve been punished already."

The voice carried a hint of grievance, but Chen Nan’s heart was resolute, giving no heed, remembering Jiao Yan treating humans like food.

Moreover, the Jiao Long’s robust body and vigorous vitality made it ideal for crafting a Demon Spirit Pill, far exceeding that of other sea beasts, and virtually every part of a Jiao Long was valuable.

The scales could be forged into armor, Jiao Long Bone into spiritual artifacts, Dragon Horn as spiritual medicine, or ground into powder for talismans, Jiao Long Gallbladder also being able to craft elixirs.

Even the Jiao Long liver is a rare delicacy. It’s said Immortals eat Dragon Liver and Phoenix Marrow, and though a Jiao Long is not a True Dragon, it is a close relative.

So Chen Nan absolutely wouldn’t let this Jiao Long escape, pursuing without rest. But Jiao Long’s next words made him pause.

"As fellow demons, must you annihilate me completely? At worst, I’ll offer compensation!"
