The Martial Monarchs, elders, and disciples finally gathered their thoughts at that instant.
"Gasp! Four Martial Trees!"
"Heavens!"
"Qin Nan has four Martial Trees!"
"No wonder my Senior Brother told me that even Shi Qingfan is no match against him!"
"F**k me!"
"Qin Nan has surpassed the rules of cultivation too?"
Several astounded voices could be heard.
They were unable to fully calm themselves.
Although the news about Shen Tianjing and the others from the half-God region surpassing the rules of cultivation brought them a great shock, they could somehow accept it. However, it was different in Qin Nan's case, as he was only a cultivator from the Eastern Continent.
What kind of place was the Eastern Continent?
In the eyes of the cultivators from the Middle Continent, the Eastern Continent was a desolated area, which no one would even bother visiting.
Meanwhile, on top of feeling astounded, the elders and disciples could also feel their faces burning as if they had been slapped countless times in the face.
The reason being that they had been mocking Qin Nan before the fight, not treating him seriously at all.
What were they feeling now?
The difference between them and Qin Nan was like the distance between the Heavens and Earth!
"HAHAHA! Four Martial Trees! Qin Nan, so the way you've surpassed the rules of cultivation was by having four Martial Trees! Most importantly, you're still not a Martial Monarch!"
Unlike the others from the three great factions, a great surge of joy arose within Sheng Tianjing's heart.
In the beginning, he was only interested to see who exactly in the Middle Continent had surpassed the rules of cultivation.
However, a crazier thought had just crossed his mind.
If he managed to find out how Qin Nan had surpassed the rules of cultivation, did that mean apart from having three Martial Spirits, he could also let his cultivation surpass the rules of cultivation too?
If he succeeded, he would have surpassed the rules of cultivation in two different areas, reaching an unimaginable height, making him the top genius of the entire Canglan Continent.
Even the empress eight thousand years ago would not be comparable to him.
"What is it?" Why the silence? Weren't you all acting smug before? Could it be that you're scared now? Don't worry, everything that I've said is still valid. You can all attack at once, in a battle of life and death!"
Qin Nan walked toward the people of the three great factions slowly with a sharp gaze and a tremendous aura.
"This…"
The elders and disciples of the three great factions were intimidated. None of them actually responded for a few moments.
However, as they were still from the half-God region after all, their knowledge and experience were relatively more profound than the cultivators of the Middle Continent. As such, they were able to calm themselves in a short period of time.
"Humph, Qin Nan, I admit that you're very strong indeed. No one would stand a chance against you in a solo battle.
"However, you're too full of yourself. Do you really think you're undefeatable with the four Martial Trees? Trying to challenge us all on your own?
"How naive!" The old man in the purple robe said with a dark expression, "Everyone, listen up. The disciples will split into teams of three and battle against him. We can easily defeat him when he runs out of energy!"
That was right, the elder was right. Qin Nan had only surpassed the rules of cultivation by having four Martial Trees. It did not make him undefeatable. It was not impossible for them to defeat him.
Besides that, there were around twenty of them. If they were split into teams of three to take on Qin Nan, they would surely defeat him in the end.
"I'll go!"
"Qin Nan, you're being too cocky!"
"I'll show you the strength of a real genius of the God Ranking!"
"Humph!"
"Don't you think that you're unbeatable just because you've surpassed the rules of cultivation!"
At that instant, following the roars, a disciple from each of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground, Jade-Lake Sacred Ground, and the Martial Principle Sect flew into the sky and charged toward Qin Nan in a ferocious manner!
The Martial Monarchs, elders, and disciples were startled as they subconsciously clenched their fists!
Qin Nan's strength was extraordinary without a doubt. However, if the disciples of the half-God region were planning to fight him with rotations, it would be difficult to predict the outcome!
"Three at a time?
"Whatever, as the final outcome is still the same anyway!"
Qin Nan's face remained expressionless as he began to move.
BANG!
Four Divine Battle Trees charged forward at the three disciples like four enormous, ancient mountains.
To everyone's surprise, the three disciples suddenly uttered sinister chuckles as their figures disappeared. The next moment, their figures had arrived before Qin Nan from different directions, surrounding him in the middle while executing terrifying attacks aiming at Qin Nan's figure!
It turned out that the previous figures charging at him were mere decoys.
Qin Nan's expression remained the same as a black glow was unleashed from his figure, spreading into the surroundings.
BANG BANG BANG!
A series of explosions was heard. The entire destruction domain was filled with cracks, but it did not shatter as it managed to withstand the attacks!
"This…"
The eyes of the three disciples flickered with astonishment.
What Monarch Art was that, able to resist all their attacks?
"Break!"
Qin Nan snapped, causing the four Martial Trees to turn back and collide into the disciples' chests.
Following a great blast and cries of agony, the three disciples were sent flying and slammed into the ground close to the edge of the dojo. Their entire bodies were soaked in blood.
Their bones, meridians, etc. were thoroughly shattered by the impact, turning them into half-cripples.
"We can't give him any time to recover. Go on!"
The old man in the purple robe and the other two elders demanded as they recovered from their astonishment.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Another three disciples flew out from the crowd. However, unlike the previous group, they immediately spaced out into three different directions while remaining a significant distance away from Qin Nan.
The three disciples communicated with each other through their Divine Sense and came to a decision. Their figures began to move rapidly as their hands formed hand seals as they fired ranged Monarch Arts, aiming at Qin Nan's figure.
This left Qin Nan in a tight situation, as if he were to focus on any of them in particular, he would have to suffer the damage from the other two directions!
"Trying to fight me from a distance?"
Qin Nan let out a cold grin as his figure transformed into a phantom with a whoosh. Within a single breath's time, he reappeared beside one of the disciples like a ghost.
"You…"
The disciple stared at him in astonishment with his eyes open wide.
However, before he could finish, four Divine Battle Trees descended from the sky and struck his chest, sending him flying instantly.
The other two disciples were startled as a great sense of danger arose within their hearts. However, Qin Nan's figure was like a giant bird with golden wings, able to follow tightly behind them wherever they went.
In the end, Qin Nan was able to seize the opportunity to suppress their figures with the Divine Battle Trees and launch his Martial Arts at them.
"Keep them coming!"
Qin Nan's figure came to a stop as he said calmly while placing his hands behind his back.
