Dashing Student-Chapter 1310: How Dare You, Thief

The space law utilized by Chen Nan left Minghe Ancestor extremely shocked. As he saw Chen Nan charging towards him, he instinctively became wary and even summoned his own defensive spiritual artifact.

Unexpectedly, Chen Nan had no intention of attacking at all. Instead, his figure flickered, transforming into a bolt of lightning. Even a shadow of the Seven Stars appeared on the ground as he directly moved to the side of Minghe Ancestor's body and snatched the wooden box from his hand.

"You little thief, how dare you!"

Minghe Ancestor burst into a rage, slapping out violently, unleashing a terrifying surge of mana which transformed into a giant hand, slamming down hard on Chen Nan.

Blood sprayed in the air as Chen Nan was struck and sent flying. Yet, with both hands, he still clutched the wooden box tightly. It was thanks to his formidable physique that he survived the blow.

However, utilizing the space law had already placed an enormous burden on his body, with many parts already cracked, resembling a shattered porcelain.

Again being struck firmly on the body by Minghe Ancestor, even if he wasn't dead, he had lost half his life. At this moment, the world before his eyes seemed to spin, and blood oozed from his seven orifices.

He didn't notice that his blood, which had fallen onto the wooden box, mysteriously disappeared, as though it was being absorbed by the box.

"Little thief, I didn't want to kill you, but since you've angered me, today I will show you the might of a Nascent Soul!"

Minghe Ancestor roared in fury, veins popping on his forehead, releasing an imposing aura that even made the cultivators of the Ming River Sect tremble.

Ning Yu and others, following Chen Nan's instructions, swiftly retreated as soon as Chen Nan made his move. They knew staying behind wouldn't aid Chen Nan and would only be a burden.

In her hands, she held the King of Ten Thousand Gu entrusted to her by Chen Nan.

Looking back at Chen Nan, who had become a bloodied figure, Ning Yu was in tears, "Jue Mingzi, I will keep waiting for your return."

After saying this, they took Wen Ling, Jiang Han, and the crippled Song Qingzhu into the second checkpoint, with the King of Ten Thousand Gu ensuring they weren't harmed by Gu Insects on the second layer.

This was also Chen Nan's backup plan, so even if he perished, the King of Ten Thousand Gu could help him resurrect through a tribulation; if it were left on his body, Minghe Ancestor might discover it.

At this moment, Chen Nan's consciousness was fuzzy, faintly seeing the furious Minghe Ancestor. He couldn't help but chuckle wryly, "It seems it's not working."

Minghe Ancestor formed hand seals with both hands, mana surged from within, mobilizing the power of heaven and earth. In the sky, the clouds suddenly parted, and a massive ghostly hand thrust out, descending like a giant mountain.

Chen Nan looked up at the enormous ghostly hand, having already given up on resisting. Even his most powerful space law couldn't harm Minghe Ancestor; he was out of options.

Since he had left a backup plan, he faced death calmly.

But at this critical juncture, the previous voice sounded again in his mind, "Fool, open the box quickly. Do you really want to die?"

The voice carried a tone of exasperation, making Chen Nan subconsciously think he was hearing things.

Looking down at the wooden box in his hands, he decided to trust the voice once more. So he abruptly opened the box, revealing a shriveled arm quietly lying inside.

For some reason, upon seeing the arm, a sense of familiarity rose in his heart.

"What's the use of this thing?"

Chen Nan held the arm in his hand, not noticing that his own blood was continuously merging into the arm. Seeing the massive ghostly hand about to descend on his head, he instinctively swung the arm towards the sky.

In that moment, he suddenly felt an immense power, seemingly capable of annihilating everything, erupting from the shriveled arm.

Boom!

The massive ghostly hand conjured by Minghe Ancestor was instantly scattered by that powerful force, even tearing a huge hole in the sky.

Silence, an incredible silence filled the surroundings.

Minghe Ancestor's eyes almost popped out at this sight, while the cultivators of the Ming River Sect were dumbstruck, their souls nearly leaving their bodies. That power made them feel an overwhelming terror deep in their hearts.

It was as if they had encountered a natural enemy.

"Huh? Is it really that effective?"

Chen Nan suddenly stumbled, feeling incredibly weak and exhausted, as though he could pass out at any moment.

With his last bit of consciousness, he locked onto the still bewildered Minghe Ancestor in the distance and swung the shriveled arm again.

This time, he finally understood why the shriveled arm could unleash such formidable power—the activation condition was his blood.

Thus, in this instance, utilizing the shriveled arm drained all his blood, leaving him immensely pale and unable to endure any longer as he passed out.

But after he fainted, a terrifying force erupted from the arm, enveloping Minghe Ancestor and all the Ming River Sect cultivators within.

"No!"

Minghe Ancestor let out a scream, and then the world fell into silence.

The force rippled outward like waves, turning every cultivator who touched the ripples to dust in an instant, Minghe Ancestor included.

When the power dissipated, no living creatures remained in front of the stone platform.

A gentle breeze quietly drifted by, rustling a layer of ashes that had accumulated on the ground. Ning Yu and the others returned from the second checkpoint.

They weren't disobeying Chen Nan's instructions, but the King of Ten Thousand Gu had suddenly abandoned them, seemingly sensing something had happened to Chen Nan.

Given Ning Yu and the others' cultivation, it was challenging to safely pass the second checkpoint, especially with the Soul-devouring Gu, which would certainly be the end of them if encountered. Thus they had no choice but to follow the King of Ten Thousand Gu back.

Upon their return, they witnessed an empty scene. The hundreds of Ming River Sect cultivators had vanished, even Minghe Ancestor had turned to dust.

Deng Yunhe looked at the scattered ashes, jokingly saying, "Could they all have turned to ash?"

No one responded to him because nobody knew what had really happened here.

Ning Yu's sharp eyes spotted Chen Nan in the distance, unconscious, and she rushed over in a panic. Seeing Chen Nan as pale as paper, she was utterly terrified, her tears flowing constantly.

The others hurriedly came over, witnessing Chen Nan's alarming paleness, with the opened wooden box and shriveled arm beside him.

The arm was unremarkable, appearing merely as skin wrapped around bones, completely dried.

The King of Ten Thousand Gu returned to Chen Nan's body, coiling around his chest, continuously transmitting its mana into him.

Soon, a green light emerged from Chen Nan, and his remarkable recovery power began to take effect, gradually restoring the pallid body to a rosy hue.
