Chapter 996: Chapter 996: Helping Neither Side
Chen Nan casually dealt with a black-robed man, looking at Priest Chang and the last black-robed man with a puzzled expression.
Both of them appeared incredibly shocked.
Especially the black-robed man, who was internally cursing mothers by now.
"Damn, this kid is playing the pig to eat the tiger!"
Clearly a Foundation Establishnt Third Layer cultivator, killing a peak Foundation Establishnt Ninth Layer cultivator as easily as slaughtering a dog, he must have hidden his strength.
Too insidious.
"Priest Chang, I didn’t expect you to find such a helper. No wonder you were trying to escape here."
The black-robed man’s voice was dripping with sarcasm.
Priest Chang was happy to be misunderstood and quickly shouted to Chen Nan, "You ca just in ti, help
get rid of him!"
Saying this didn’t help, it only made Chen Nan feel repulsed, clearly wanting to drag him into the water.
He initially thought this woman was of good character, seeing their first reaction was to want them to leave.
But as soon as Chen Nan seed helpful, she imdiately wanted to drag him in, and the tiny bit of goodwill Chen Nan had just evaporated.
In summary, neither of these people is anything good.
"Heh, you’d think relying on a Foundation Establishnt cultivator, you can handle ? Not taking
seriously at all!"
Before finishing his sentence, the black-robed man suddenly attacked Chen Nan, his aura erupted violently, changing the color of the sky and earth.
Golden Core Stage!
Chen Nan was taken aback, a massive oppression suddenly descended upon him but compared to previously facing the Golden Core Stage, it felt much easier now.
Co to think of it, the black-robed man was likely just a first-level Golden Core Stage cultivator, not one he hadn’t killed before.
"Golden Core Stage... is not unbeatable!"
Previously when he exterminated the Golden Core First Layer cultivator Xu Wencheng, he relied on Monk Chengming’s remnant soul from the Buddhist relic.
This ti, Chen Nan wanted to try if he could kill a first-level Golden Core Stage cultivator head-on!
The black-robed man’s five fingers spread open, and a cloud of black fog suddenly surged and quickly enveloped towards Chen Nan.
All the plants that ca into contact with the black fog withered in an instant, turning to dust, evident of its lethal poison.
Chen Nan had long known that the people of the Heavenly Border are skilled in beast taming, controlling Gu, and poisoning, so when he saw the poisonous fog coming, he remained calm.
"Go and wait for
from afar."
To avoid implicating A Yin, Chen Nan pushed A Yin behind him and then took a step forward, punching out with a thunderous sound.
Fierce golden flas burst out with his punch, surging towards the black fog like a tide, emitting a sizzling sound upon contact with black smoke rising.
The flas scorched away the black fog, and the black fog also continually corroded the flas, both forces dissipating each other, ultimately disappearing.
But just then, a silver light abruptly attacked, seizing the mont when the flas and black fog had just dissipated, aiming to catch Chen Nan off guard.
"Watch out!"
The woman, still in a deadlock with the black-robed man, shouted, her face showing panic, but she was too late to rescue, feeling a deep regret.
A potentially innocent man might be implicated and killed due to her.
The black-robed man, on the other hand, sneered, arrogantly shouting, "Priest Chang, don’t waste your effort. The Silver Ring Snake Gu, fed with my essence blood, is not sothing a Foundation Establishnt cultivator can withstand!"
"Watch him die in front of you... huh?"
Before he could finish, he let out a puzzled sound.
Because the Silver Ring Snake Gu, which had shot towards Chen Nan like an arrow, rely lay on his arm, appearing incredibly docile instead of drilling into his body or poisoning him, fearful tactics as these were.
"What is happening?"
The black-robed man’s jaw was about to drop, quickly pulling out an item to his mouth, issuing a peculiar sound like a whistle to urge the Gu insect to attack.
The once-docile Silver Ring Snake Gu began to squirm restlessly, constantly wriggling its body, yet it dared not attack Chen Nan.
This scene was incredibly bizarre, the black-robed man never heard of Gu insects betraying their master, leaving him deeply shaken.
Chen Nan rely smiled faintly, reaching for the Silver Ring Snake Gu no more than the length of a little finger, walking to the side with a playful smile.
"You two, carry on."
His face clearly held a look of watching a good show.
Both soone wanting to kill him and another trying to drag him into the fray were no good things.
The black-robed man was dumbfounded, and Priest Chang was also stunned, neither could believe Chen Nan had chosen to help neither.
"Are you stupid? If you don’t help
kill him, once he kills , he surely won’t spare you!"
Priest Chang, seeing a flicker of hope, was of course unwilling to give up.
Even if Chen Nan was but a Foundation Establishnt cultivator, as long as he disrupted the black-robed man, sacrificing her life, maybe she could turn things around.
Moreover, Chen Nan not fearing the Silver Ring Snake Gu, she knew this snake Gu was the black-robed man’s painstaking creation, renowned among Heavenly Border Gu worms.
The black-robed man, however, was delighted, even though he didn’t know why his Silver Ring Snake Gu did not attack Chen Nan, it no longer mattered.
As long as Chen Nan doesn’t interfere, after he kills Priest Chang, could a re Foundation Establishnt cultivator still cause trouble?
"Kid, don’t worry, as long as you don’t intervene, I won’t make things difficult for you!"
Two Golden Core Stage cultivators, who would usually not spare a glance at a Foundation Establishnt cultivator, were now exceedingly polite to Chen Nan.
Chen Nan remained noncommittal, not even looking at the two, just continuously stroking the Silver Ring Snake Gu in his hand.
This snake Gu, when faced with the aura of his King Gu, did not dare attack but also didn’t tremble like the other Gu insects he had encountered.
This demonstrated that this snake Gu’s quality exceeded that of ordinary Gu insects.
After playing with it in his hand for a while, he then handed the snake Gu to A Yin, while Priest Chang and the black-robed man resud their fight.
"Fool! Once I’m dead, you won’t survive either!"
Priest Chang was despairing, cursing Chen Nan in her heart a thousand tis.
She saw Chen Nan’s strength as, at most, the peak of Foundation Establishnt Ninth Layer, if she died, how could he face a Golden Core Stage cultivator?
But at this mont, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and deal with the black-robed man’s attack.
Though the black-robed man lost his Silver Ring Snake Gu, he had plenty of other Gu insects, flying out one by one, with several on the ground too.
Priest Chang relied on her last Gu insect, a black centipede twining her arm, whose scales edged up sharply like blades.
A sharp swing cut a Gu insect in half.
But with too many Gu insects, she could hardly hold on longer, coupled with her serious injuries, she gradually lost her strength, her face growing paler.
Not far off, A Yin happily received the Silver Ring Snake Gu, beaming with joy, but soon grew puzzled.
"Senior, the owner of the Gu insect is still around, giving it to
is useless."
Chen Nan smiled gently, patting A Yin’s shoulder.
"Don’t worry, the Gu insect’s owner won’t be around for much longer."
