Chapter 1117 – Monarch Horoscope Contest (Two)
The overwhelming battle intent caused the geniuses to collect their thoughts.
“Surpassing the rules of cultivation!”
“Holy crap, is that really possible!”
“Gasp, a fifth-grade Tian ranked Martial Spirit, five Martial Trees, and the Heaven-Shattering Saber, isn’t this Qin Nan a bit too ridiculous!”
A few voices blurted out.
The geniuses’ gazes toward Qin Nan were filled with respect.
Although they had read ancient records and heard rumors about surpassing the rules of cultivation, they had never believed it. Therefore, the five Martial Trees that Qin Nan had displayed had completely toppled their understandings.
The main reason was that none of the geniuses who had encountered Qin Nan in the first stage had made it to the third stage, thus his secret was not exposed, which resulted in a great visual impact to them.
Shi Qingfan, Sorceress Qian Qian, and Sage Chen Zilai’s eyes flickered with astonishment. Qin Nan was the only one that the Monarch Ranking had ever referred to as the rare one, thus they were aware of how extraordinary his talents were. That being said, they never thought it would be this shocking!
Ao Cangtian, Jiu Jiu, and Yang Qi were dumbfounded. Even though they knew Qin Nan had surpassed the rules of cultivation, they never thought the number of his Martial Trees would increase to five in just half-a-year’s time.
“This kid…”
Tang Qingshan’s eyes glistened as the aura inside his body became restless. No one knew what he had in mind.
Jiang Bilan’s glamorous face under her black robe was filled with a smile. This guy was still the same, always entering the limelight wherever he was.
“Hehehe! A bunch of ignorant pricks! Qin Nan is my brother, how could he possibly be weak? They will probably shit their pants when they see his strongest appearance!”
Sima Kong felt extremely pleasant. He could not wait to see how they would react when they saw Qin Nan had nine Martial Trees in total.
That would be quite interesting to watch.
Qin Nan dashed toward the Faceless Cultivator and the geniuses around him despite them having an advantage in terms of numbers.
The crowd was instantly startled. They could only feel a great weight pressing down on them due to the approaching pressure, something that they had never felt before.
“Run!”
Many geniuses who had initially planned to target Qin Nan immediately made up their minds, heading toward the other Monarch Horoscopes. They no longer felt they would stand a chance against Qin Nan.
“I have to say, you’re the only genius that has actually impressed me, as you’ve surpassed the rules of cultivation! However, I’m interested to see exactly how powerful you are with five Martial Trees!”
The Faceless Cultivator made his decision after hesitating for a moment.
“The God of Ice descends! Freezing a thousand li!”
An ancient, mysterious, magnificent figure appeared from the Faceless Cultivator’s back. In the blink of an eye, the surrounding space froze instantly while his aura rose rapidly as if he had transformed into the God of Ice, who reached out with his icy palm and slapped downward.
A snowstorm was summoned, freezing everything it came into contact with!
“Let’s attack together!”
The remaining geniuses clenched their teeth and made up their minds, firing their artifacts and talismans in Qin Nan’s direction.
The geniuses nearby found their gazes fixated as they observed the battle.
Even though Qin Nan had five Martial Trees, no one knew exactly how strong they were.
“Break!”
Qin Nan’s battle intent surged as the five Martial Trees swept across the sky like meteors, colliding into the icy domain, the talismans, and the Monarch Arts.
BANG!
Following a huge explosion, the attacks were completely shattered into pieces!
Qin Nan did not give his opponents any chance to react. He charged toward them with a kick as a huge Destruction Domain crashed down upon them like a giant pitch-black mountain.
The cultivators were astounded, who swiftly executed their moves. However, Qin Nan had already predicted this, as he controlled the five Martial Trees to strike from five different directions, suppressing their moves and sealing their escape.
“Curse of the God of Ice!”
“Monarch Talisman!”
“Sky-Penetrating Imperious Spear!”
The cultivators were aware of the grave situation they were in, who immediately executed their strongest moves, causing the Destruction Domain and the five Martial Trees to tremble, but they remained unbreakable.
Gasp!
A series of deep breaths being drawn could be heard.
The geniuses targeting the other Monarch Horoscopes were dumbfounded. As they thought, the power of the five Martial Trees was overwhelming, not to mention Qin Nan’s Martial Spirit and the Heaven-Shattering Saber!
As such, many geniuses had decided not to compete with Qin Nan for the Monarch Horoscope; at least they would not dare to challenge him before he was injured. After all, the strength that Qin Nan had displayed was on par with Shi Qingfan, Sorceress Qian Qian, and the others, or even slightly stronger.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
A series of deafening blasts echoed through the entire dojo!
The short exchange between Qin Nan and the Faceless Cultivator had come to an end. As such, the geniuses began to focus on their own battles again!
Qin Nan continued to observe the situation while fighting the battle against the Faceless Cultivator.
“Even though I’m not too keen to choose you as my opponent, my senior has told me to inherit the Monarch Horoscope only after defeating the currently first-ranked genius on the Monarch Ranking!” Fang Changqing whom Qin Nan had stumbled into once before brought his fists together as he summoned a powerful heavenly flame while teaming up with eight other geniuses as they attacked Shi Qingfan.
“Bring it on!”
Shi Qingfan shrugged calmly as a great monarch aura was unleashed from his figure, summoning several ancient lotuses around him as he prepared a powerful blow in his body.
“I’ve said that I would kill you one day, and today will be the day!”
Tang Qingshan who had remained silent throughout the battle suddenly drew out his black saber and unleashed a shocking murderous intent. His figure turned into a beam of light and before the other geniuses could react, he had arrived before Dao Qianzhong!
“Kill me? You? How stupid! I’m the strongest in the Heaven-Saber Sect!” Dao Qianzhong showed no sign of fear as he let out a hollow laugh. Five ancient sabers appeared from his back, emitting five unique and colorful saber intents.
Jiang Bilan, Sima Kong, and Xuan Yue made their moves too. Jiang Bilan chose the tenth-ranked Heaven-Yin Daoist as her opponent. She unleashed a strong Death Qi as she charged toward the Heaven-Yin Daoist, leaving the latter in great shock. After all, the Death Qi was the natural enemy of his Heaven-Yin Qi.
Sima Kong somehow convinced Xuan Yue and Mu Mu to form an alliance. Although their strength was not too outstanding, due to Sima Kong’s shameless yet unpredictable movements, they had a short confrontation with Hua Dichen before switching their targets as they roamed across the place, causing many geniuses to clench their teeth furiously.
As for Sage Chen Zilai, Sorceress Qian Qian, Ao Cangtian, Jiu Jiu, and Yang Qi, they were facing the rest of the geniuses. Among them, a few whose names they had never heard before somehow possessed incredible strength, resulting in fierce battles between them.
The battles became more intense as time passed gradually.
After the initial stage of probing one another’s strength, most of the geniuses had begun to use their true strength, leaving the dojo in a great mess. Many geniuses were killed in the battle, causing blood to splatter everywhere.
