Chapter 651: Chapter 727: Dugu Nine Sword Chapter 651: Chapter 727: Dugu Nine Sword “Eh?”
Seeing that Chen Nan had actually blocked that punch, the elder’s face showed surprise, as it was obvious to him that Chen Nan’s cultivation was not enough to neutralize his punch.
“The young man’s cultivation is not weak; he is indeed a prodigy,” the elder couldn’t help but exclaim.
Chen Nan bowed with his hands together, “Thank you for the praise, elder. Please instruct .”
The elder nodded, stepped to the side with his left foot, raised his right fist slowly, and then, in a flash, his figure disappeared from in front of Chen Nan.
Chen Nan’s expression changed, he scanned the surroundings, and did not spot the elder.
Where could he have dodged to in the blink of an eye?
Chen Nan heightened his alertness, his eyes scanning in all directions, ears listening keenly, his Inner Strength circulating to its peak, ready to strike at any mont.
Suddenly!
A sound of wind ca from behind, Chen Nan’s feet powered up, transmitting the strength from his legs to his waist, just as he was about to turn around, however, just then, the wind noise suddenly stopped, and the elder’s figure appeared in front of him, punching towards his chest.
The punch was as thunderous as a roaring storm, fast as a shooting star.
Apart from his master Xuan Tianji, Chen Nan had never seen anyone strike so swiftly.
He didn’t even have ti to swing out his fist to counter, when the elder’s fist had already smashed into the front of his chest, forced into a dire situation, with a shake of his body, the Ancient Shield manifested in front of his chest, and the elder struck the shield.
“Clang…”
The loud sound echoed between heaven and earth, Chen Nan was blasted back, crashing through two or three large trees, falling to the ground with blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. The elder’s strength was simply too powerful; this punch was beyond his ability to withstand.
Chen Nan got up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and walked towards the elder, “Thank you, elder, for showing rcy.”
His words were not re politeness, but because he truly felt that the elder had held back, and Chen Nan had the intuition that if the elder had struck with his full strength, the injuries would have been much more severe.
“It’s actually ‘lt Soldiers and Refine Body’!”
Observing the Ancient Shield that had appeared in front of Chen Nan, the elder’s expression could hardly remain calm.
Having lived for quite so years, it was his first ti witnessing this rare divine skill that existed only in legends.
“Trivial skills, I must have made you laugh, elder”
“Pretentious, I see you’re feeling quite proud right now!” the elder glanced at him, pointed to the right, and said, “Walk two hundred ters this way, then make a left at one thousand ters, a right at seven hundred ters, and face the next challenge.”
After speaking, the elder walked back towards the dicine field to continue watering and fertilizing.
Chen Nan expressed his thanks, then picked up the Black Feathered Chicken and walked forward.
“This old guy really has so skills,” the Black Feathered Chicken mumbled, “But still, much weaker than Master Chicken in my heyday.”
Chen Nan hit back, “Stop bragging, what good did being formidable back then do? You still got sealed. If you were really that powerful, how could you have been sealed in the first place?”
The Black Feathered Chicken was hopping mad, but powerless, finally shaking its head in frustration, “Mortal, Master Chicken can’t be bothered with you.”
“You’re just a joke,” Chen Nan said, dismissing it even more.
As for the elder he had just encountered, Chen Nan had to admit the elder’s formidable cultivation. No wonder Xuan Tianji had repeatedly instructed him that the Famous dicine Mountain Villa had deep foundations, advising him not to use force but to employ wit instead.
Following the elder’s directions, Chen Nan soon saw another field of dicine.
A middle-aged man stood in the center of the field, radiating a trendous aura, extrely sharp, much like a drawn sword.
Although still far away, Chen Nan could feel that this middle-aged man’s strength was even greater than the old man’s from earlier!
The middle-aged man looked up at Chen Nan, and in the next mont, his figure flashed, and he appeared right in front of Chen Nan. He shook his right hand, and a long sword was held in it, “If you can make the sword in my hand leave my grip, I will show you the way.”
Chen Nan tossed the Black Feathered Chicken aside and summoned the Demon Sword into his hand, “Please enlighten , senior.”
“Co on!” The middle-aged man stood there quietly, sword in hand, “I will suppress my Inner Strength and only use the power of the Master Realm to compete with you.”
Chen Nan’s heart trembled.
Using only the power of the Master Realm indicated that the opponent had already surpassed the Master Realm, having reached at least the Earth Penetration Realm, or perhaps even the Heavenly Passage Realm.
How could one possibly defeat such a master!
Chen Nan felt a sense of powerlessness, but still gripped the Demon Sword tightly.
He took a step forward, executing the Slaughter God Seven Steps. His figure charged at the opponent like a swift wind, and the Demon Sword slashed towards the opponent’s sword-holding right hand.
Chen Nan had thought his move was fast enough, but then—
“Clang!”
The middle-aged man moved like a flash, first blocking Chen Nan’s attack with a sword, then his figure flashed again, and he swept his sword horizontally towards Chen Nan’s neck. Just as Chen Nan was about to counter, the middle-aged man suddenly changed his move, slapping his sword blade onto Chen Nan’s right wrist.
“Clang clang clang…”
Chen Nan felt pain in his hand, and his fingers involuntarily loosened their grip, dropping the Demon Sword to the ground.
Just one move, and he was already defeated by the opponent.
Moreover, the middle-aged man did not go back on his word, Chen Nan could clearly feel that he had indeed only used the power of the Master Realm.
“Your strength is still far from sufficient.”
The middle-aged man shook his head, turned, and walked towards the dicine Field, tossing over his shoulder, “There is a stele in the forest on the left, engraved with the swordsmanship I just used. You can study it then co back to challenge .”
“Thank you!”
Chen Nan ran toward the left, the Black Feathered Chicken closely following behind.
Upon arriving in the forest, indeed there stood a stele, engraved with deeply profound sword moves.
“What profound swordsmanship!” Chen Nan couldn’t help but exclaim.
The Black Feathered Chicken, however, curled its beak, saying, “Although these sword moves are formidable, in the eyes of Chicken Lord, they are just so-so.”
Chen Nan excitedly grabbed the Black Feathered Chicken, “Does this an you have a way to counter his sword moves?”
“Nonsense, Chicken Lord was once a great master. Breaking these moves is like child’s play to ,” boasted the Black Feathered Chicken. But after glancing at Chen Nan, it added discontentedly, “However, with your current power, even if Chicken Lord teaches you, it would be hard for you to beat him.”
“No matter what, even if it costs my life, I have to win against him,” Chen Nan declared earnestly. “Do you have any good thods?”
The Black Feathered Chicken picked up a twig and began drawing on the ground, saying, “Chicken Lord once witnessed a peerless swordsmanship called Dugu Nine Sword. This swordsmanship consists of nine forms, but I only saw one of them, the Broken Sword Style.”
Chen Nan frowned, “Broken Sword Style?”
“Exactly, with just this move, if practiced to the utmost, it can break all the swordsmanship in the world!” The Black Feathered Chicken pointed to the ground as it spoke, “I have already drawn the moves for you, take your ti to ponder and practice.”
Could there really be such a powerful sword move in the world?
Chen Nan was sowhat skeptical, but when he saw the moves that the Black Feathered Chicken had drawn, he felt a familiar sensation, as if he had practiced similar moves in his youth!
