Dashing Student-Chapter 1245: Offending a Formidable Enemy

Jiao Dao was thoroughly enraged, charging at Chen Nan with the resolve to die, letting out a mournful roar that incited the sea to revolt. Huge waves, blocking out the sky, swept towards them as if they intended to destroy everything.

"Humans, you call my Demon Clan cruel, but isn't it cruel when you slaughter livestock? Is it not cruel when you hunt demon beasts?"

"The Demon Clan eats people, just as you eat livestock; it's all according to the Heavenly Dao. My Demon Clan does not hide this, yet you humans feign righteousness with hypocrisy. Today, you've slaughtered my kin, and I will utterly crush you!"

Beneath the giant waves, Chen Nan and the cultivators from Sea Wave Island were as tiny as ants, about to be completely engulfed in an instant. Jiao Dao's accusations echoed between the heavens and earth.

Chen Nan sighed slightly. From the Jiao Long Clan's perspective, their kin were killed, and Jiao Dao was determined to sacrifice himself to take enemies down with him, a heroic, mournful act.

But from a human's point of view, the Jiao Long Clan cruelly ate people, and eliminating them was simply to act in accordance with the Heavenly Dao. All Chen Nan could do was to ensure Jiao Dao died with dignity.

"Go on."

Chen Nan made a single point forward, and two swords flew out from him, one to the left and one to the right. To the left was the Sword Chenyuan, its blade engulfed with three colors of flame, warping the surrounding space with terrifying heat.

On the right lay the Demon Suppressing Sword, emanating a bizarre red glow, as if it could devour the heart's soul.

The two swords drew dazzling arcs of light, directly piercing Jiao Dao's two eyes, stabbing through from his rear skull, and Jiao Dao's enormous eyes lost their luster in an instant.

Even his Divine Soul was absorbed by the Demon Suppressing Sword, the terrifying power of his Demon Core calmed down.

Even the monstrous waves, without Jiao Dao's urging, turned to scattered raindrops falling from the sky.

With a splash, Jiao Dao's enormous body fell onto the sea surface, creating a vast depression, and his blood gradually dyed the surrounding seawater red.

Thus, all twelve Jiao Long perished.

Despite winning this battle, Chen Nan hadn't sustained serious injuries, merely being swiped by Jiao Dao's claw, resulting in the fracture of a dozen bones.

The reason was his thorough preparation; whether with dozens of talismans, the Star Constellation Sword Formation, or the Hongmeng Origin Thunder, all were defiant measures.

Jiao Dao and the twelve Jiao Long died deservedly.

Chen Nan rose swiftly into the air, his large sleeves waving as he gathered all the Jiao Long's bodies — they were valuable spiritual materials, and if sold outside, they'd fetch an astronomical price.

Then he summoned the Nabing Lotus Heart, and the nine Array Swords scattered in the sea flew back, re-entering the Nabing Lotus Heart for nurturing.

Recognizing that soon people would come to investigate this place, Chen Nan quickly found the group from Sea Wave Island floating on the sea surface, preparing to leave.

But at that moment, a white dot suddenly flew from the sea surface, exceptionally striking in the darkness, escaping directly towards the distance, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Chen Nan wished to chase after it but was too late, his heart sinking: "Damn, it must be some technique of Jiao Dao's."

A cultivator from Sea Wave Island suddenly spoke: "I know this is a secret technique that only Nascent Soul Realm cultivators can employ. If killed, it carries the last sights before death back to a specific place."

Chen Nan's heart grew more somber: "It seems the white dot flew to those old Jiao Longs. I'd better keep a low profile from now on to avoid being discovered."

Having extracted a lot of information about the Jiao Long Clan from Jiao Yan's mouth, he knew they were incredibly strong, though few in number, extremely formidable.

Moreover, the Jiao Long Clan had several ancestors, all Nascent Soul Realm experts!

Chen Nan had provoked Yi Mingzi earlier, thus angering Master Canglan behind him. Now he had offended the Jiao Long Clan, adding more Nascent Soul Realm enemies.

He even feared he would become a target for many Nascent Soul True Men just like on the Nine Provinces Continent.

Carrying such worries, Chen Nan fled swiftly.

The white dot recording the last scene before Jiao Dao's death flew directly to a certain sea area, diving beneath the sea's surface.

In the depths of the sea, there lay a palace glowing with light, massive corals and shells abundant, forming this unique palace.

Outside the palace stood a plaque with "Jiao Long Palace" inscribed upon it.

The light dot entered the Jiao Long Palace, soon followed by a roar.

"How dare they slaughter my clan, they deserve no mercy! Find this human for me; I shall extract his Divine Soul and let him suffer myriad tortures for eternity!"

...

On the other side, Chen Nan, along with the group of cultivators from Sea Wave Island, fled quickly, escaping a thousand miles before casually landing on an island.

The cultivators from Sea Wave Island were incredibly nervous as they looked at Chen Nan, though they knew Chen Nan wasn't of the Demon Clan, the recent incident had turned them into frightened birds.

Chen Nan summoned the King of Ten Thousand Gu and approached one cultivator, scaring him into stumbling backward, utterly terrified.

"Don't worry, I only mean to detoxify you. If I wanted to kill you, you'd be dead by now."

The others reflected, realizing it was the truth; the person before them had slain twelve Jiao Long in one battle, no one dared offend him.

Thus, each resigned themselves to their fate, like warriors about to bravely sacrifice themselves.

Chen Nan smiled wryly, directly releasing the King of Ten Thousand Gu to bite onto one cultivator's arm. The man yelled but did not dare move.

But soon, he discovered all poisons within him disappeared, his cultivation suppressed by toxins restored, and he was overjoyed.

Seeing their companion unharmed, other cultivators finally breathed a sigh of relief, though the detoxification method left them uneasy.

Before long, the Sea Wave Island cultivators were detoxified, their cultivation restored, hastening to stand before Chen Nan and salute him, grateful for being rescued from the Demon Clan's clutches.

Through conversations with them, Chen Nan learned their senior brother was Zhou Mingyu, and the terrified junior sister was Qin Yuzhu, disciples of Master Hanyue from Sea Wave Island.

This time, they were out training, only coming here because Qin Yuzhu's friend went missing on Qilong Island. Now, they realized that friend must have become food for the Demon Clan.

Hearing they were disciples of Nascent Soul True Man, an idea struck Chen Nan.

"No need to rush to thank me, I saved you under one condition: I wish for your master to lend a hand once, to help me with something small."

The group exchanged glances, then nodded: "Since senior brother asked, we certainly won't refuse. No matter what, we'll ask our master to aid senior brother once."

Chen Nan felt completely at ease, not needing to know whether Master Hanyue was good or bad; after all, between them lay a trade.

Such trade relations are sometimes the most reliable!
