Dashing Student-Chapter 1329: Rebirth Through Death

The flying sword, exuding a terrifying sharpness, abruptly halted just as it neared Chen Nan’s body, as a hand directly grasped it.

This scene made Yan Huan’s heart sink instantly. As the owner of the flying sword, he naturally knows his sword the best. Due to his Golden Core with a gold attribute, his sword has a remarkable sharpness, able to gather Sharp Gold Qi from the heavens and earth.

But now, a Cultivator of the same Realm as him surprisingly grabbed his flying sword with his bare hand. To him, it was as if the sky had fallen; the flying sword he’d painstakingly refined now seemed like a child’s toy.

The hand wrapped in Scale Armor directly grasped the flying sword. Chen Nan sneered coldly, gripping the sword with both hands and exerting force, causing the combined power of the Heavenly Fox, Dragon Elephant, and Demon Ape to erupt, breaking the sword into two.

This scene left Yan Huan dumbfounded. Destroying a Seventh Grade Spiritual Artifact with sheer physical strength, is this still human?

"Who... who exactly are you?" he shouted in terror.

Yang Xing equally felt a chill on his scalp, waving and casting out over a dozen talismans. Though not as potent as the previous three top-grade Seventh Grade Talismans he had, they were indeed Seventh Grade Spiritual Talismans.

The Spirit Talismans roared as they flew, transforming into flames or ice spikes, directly enveloping Chen Nan. Yet Yang Xing turned his head and fled desperately, knowing the Sixth-grade Spirit Armor’s presence rendered the talismans ineffective against Chen Nan.

Just as expected, with the Spirit Armor’s protection, Chen Nan suffered no harm. Seeing the two trying to escape, he immediately summoned the Sun-shooting Bow, two Jiao Long Arrows flashed with radiance and were placed on the bowstring.

The longbow resembling a full moon, its enormous force fully pulled the Sun-shooting Bow open, and upon release, the two Jiao Long Arrows transformed into fierce and terrifying Jiao Longs, roaring as they pounced on the fleeing duo.

The Jiao Long opened its bloody mouth, devouring them, the Jiao Long’s shadow slowly faded, revealing their bodies pierced through, plummeting swiftly from the sky.

When Ning Yu and the others arrived, all they could see were the bodies of Yang Xing and Yan Huan.

"What should we do next?" Deng Yunhe instinctively looked towards Chen Nan.

Everyone knew that even if they repaired the Magic Array, under the relentless attacks of the Demon Cultivators, the City Defense Array simply couldn’t last for many days.

The Righteous Alliance’s reinforcements remained unforeseeable; all their hopes now rested on Chen Nan.

"Let’s see the Island Master first."

Chen Nan beckoned, Shadowless Play wrapped the two bodies and flew them over to Xin Zi.

Xin Zi watched the Array’s flaws being repaired, joyful in his heart, while outside the Array, the Demon Cultivators could only feign ferocity, helplessly.

But upon seeing the two bodies Chen Nan brought back, he was momentarily stunned.

"These two are spies, sent by the Demon Sect."

"Impossible!" Xin Zi instinctively retorted, "They are my close aides, upright people, how could they be spies of the Demon Sect?"

"Looks like you need to train your eye better," Deng Yunhe mocked.

Xin Zi’s face flushed with alternating colors of red and white, eventually calming down, feeling mocked; the two he trusted unquestionably were indeed spies.

"I, as the Island Master, have truly failed."

Deng Yunhe rolled his eyes and candidly remarked, "Not only failed, but you’ll die soon, this time the Demon Sect will persist till the end."

"Indeed."

Xin Zi looked up at the numerous Demon Cultivators, his voice somber.

Deng Yunhe wished to say more but was stopped by Zheng Yunzhou, who shook his head at him, indicating it wasn’t entirely Xin Zi’s fault.

True, he lacked discernment, and his ability was insufficient, yet he was undeniably a good person.

Chen Nan also gazed at the Demon Cultivators outside, observed the gathering dark clouds in the sky, and saw the three suffocating figures beneath them.

Without any intervention from the Nascent Soul Realm, the Golden Core Realm Great Perfection is indeed the strongest force, the authority on the battlefield.

Yet Chen Nan saw a glimmer of hope.

"I think I know where the glimmer of hope Elder Cui mentioned lies."

Deng Yunhe and the others looked over, curious expressions on their faces.

Chen Nan pointed to the three figures in the sky, enunciating clearly, "Born from death!"

The crowd, ignorant yet awed, shuddered fiercely.

...

"Now the Demon Sect army is pressing in, the Righteous Alliance’s reinforcements can’t arrive soon, so the only way to break the situation is to directly strike the key point."

"Eliminate those three Golden Core Realm Great Perfection, and the Demon Sect will collapse without a fight!"

This is Chen Nan’s "born from death" plan!

Xin Zi stood there, unable to calm the shock in his heart for a long time, finally realizing what the title Life-taking Yama represented — strong and mad enough!

Those are three Cultivators of the Golden Core Realm Great Perfection. Without reaching this Realm, no one knows how powerful they are, yet Chen Nan plans to take them down?

Isn’t this madness?

Ning Yu was the first to oppose, holding onto Chen Nan’s arm: "No way, it’s too dangerous, we can continue holding out, the Righteous Alliance’s reinforcements will definitely come."

She was persuading Chen Nan, also comforting herself, as this was their only hope.

But Chen Nan laughed: "Don’t you have confidence in me?"

"The gap is too large," Zheng Yunzhou also shook his head; no one thought Chen Nan’s plan feasible, as it was akin to courting death.

Xin Zi sighed, cupped his hands and said, "Envoy, thank you for helping Ten Thousand Treasures City, but this plan simply won’t work. Therefore, Envoy, please don’t take risks."

"Once the City Defense Array is breached, you all should leave. With your abilities, I believe you can escape the Demon Cultivators’ siege."

Yet Chen Nan steadfastly flew to the top of the city wall, across the Magic Array Barrier, across a large number of Demon Cultivators, looking at the three figures, resolutely saying, "You won’t stop me."

"Jue Mingzi!" Ning Yu came forward to hold him, her eyes already brimming with tears.

Back when Chen Nan battled fiercely within the Demon Sect area and almost met his end, her heart was as despairing as now.

"Do you remember what I said to you? Trust me." Chen Nan smiled tenderly at her.

"I will not die." Ning Yu remembered Chen Nan’s words and the sincerity in his eyes when he said them, ultimately nodded with difficulty.

"Then we’ll accompany you on this trip. Isn’t it just three Golden Core Realm Great Perfection ones? I’m not afraid of them!"

Deng Yunhe stepped up, cockily stating.

Zheng Yunzhou and Daoist Cui also stepped forward, showing their support through actions, yet Chen Nan shook his head at them.

"This matter I must do alone." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

After all, he still has a few chances, but their lives are only one.

Chen Nan gazed at the numerous Demon Cultivators, then turned to look at the fearful ordinary people in the city, murmuring softly.

"For so many people, sacrificing a life seems worth it too."
