The slash felt like a blinding flicker in the midst of endless darkness.
Everyone knew that cultivators were not allowed to battle inside Linran City.
At that instant, apart from the cultivators around the City Lord’s Mansion, many experts in Linran City immediately sensed the impact and focused their Divine Sense onto the battle.
They were astounded after learning of the situation. An inner disciple of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground, a genius of the God Ranking, was having a battle?
Zhan Xiaoxian who had just made her way to the scene felt her blood boiling.
She had decided to assist Duan Qing.
"Duan Qing, that's what you get for being so smug. This will be the end for you!"
Dong Kuo, the woman from the Undead Tribe, and the man from the Lightning Tribe were extremely excited.
However, at the last moment, Qin Nan's calm gaze suddenly changed, as a tremendous aura burst out from his body.
"Break."
Qin Nan dashed forward and threw a punch without using any Monarch Art.
The crowd could only see the shocking sword intent being completely shattered as if it had been struck by a giant blow.
"You do have some capabilities! Martial Spirit unleashed, Martial Tree unleashed, the enhancement from the South-Heaven Qi, Mount Tai Slash!"
Ning Jianfei let out a roar as a seventh-grade Tian ranked Martial Spirit, a ten-zhang tall rare phenomenon Martial Tree, and streams of South-Heaven Qi were unleashed simultaneously.
The ancient sword in his hand suddenly emitted a blinding glow, as the illusionary silhouette of a giant, ancient mountain was summoned. It felt like everything was only a mere ant before it.
It was a slash, but a mountain at the same time.
The cultivators were dumbfounded. The slash was too terrifying. There was no way they could resist it if they were fighting the battle.
"Crap!"
Zhan Xiaoxian's face turned pale.
Yi Feng who was standing not far away seemed intrigued, without showing any extra expression.
"Be gone."
Qin Nan did not seem bothered as his figure floated in the air.
The Destruction Martial Tree sprang out from his back, unleashing an enormous black glow that formed the destruction domain and devoured the giant mountain.
BANG BANG BANG.
A series of explosions took place.
The illusionary silhouette of the giant mountain shook vigorously as it rapidly crumbled.
In the past, Qin Nan would probably need to rely on the Heaven-Shattering Saber and the left eye of the Divine God of Battle to overcome the attack. However, since he had refined the piece of the Canglan Tree, it had allowed his Destruction Martial Tree to reach a height of ten zhang, and also caused its power to become somehow arcane.
He could easily nullify the Mount Tai Slash.
"This…"
Zhan Xiaoxian, Dong Kuo, and his crew, and the surrounding cultivators were dazzled.
How did such a terrifying slash get shattered so easily?
Was Duan Qing's strength really that terrifying?
Even Ning Jianfei was startled.
He finally understood why Duan Qing dared to challenge him. He was extremely confident in his own strength.
"Die!"
With his reputation as a genius of the God Ranking at stake, Ning Jianfei swiftly reacted and took out three talismans. He inserted his progenitor force into them, causing them to emit monarch glows.
These were all Monarch Talismans.
Buzz!
However, at that instant, an icy saber glow flickered, slashing the three Monarch Talismans in half, causing their power to dissipate.
"How is this possible!"
Ning Jianfei's expression changed tremendously. Those were Monarch Talismans. Ordinary attacks would not be able to destroy them at all.
At the same time, a strong sense of danger rose up in his heart. Before he could react, a force of destruction struck his chest.
BANG!
Ning Jianfei uttered a cry of agony as he spat out a mouthful of blood. His figure was sent flying by the impact, which smashed into the wall nearby, producing a giant hole.
"He…he lost!"
Dong Kuo and his crew and the four disciples of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground trembled slightly!
The entire street fell into a dead silence!
No one among the experts and cultivators would expect a reputable genius of the God Ranking to be defeated within a few hundred breaths' time!
Who exactly was this Duan Qing?
Qin Nan gathered himself and landed right in front of Ning Jianfei with a kick. He glanced down at him while summoning saber intent on his hand.
"Is he trying to…"
The crowd was thunderstruck.
"Brother Duan Qing, don't!"
Zhan Xiaoxian who was still immersed in great shock wore a pale face.
"Qin Nan, he's an inner disciple of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground, a genius of the God Ranking. If you were to kill him now, you would bring great danger to yourself!"
Yi Feng quickly transmitted his voice.
"Duan Qing, what…what are you trying to do? I admit that I was wrong, but I'm an inner disciple of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground, a genius of the God Ranking. If you dare kill me, you will be marked by the South-Heaven Curse, and be hunted by the experts of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground…"
Ning Jianfei completely lost his stance, whose eyes were filled with fear.
"Is that so?"
Qin Nan fired the saber intent on his hand with an expressionless face.
Hunted by experts?
He was already a three-starred enemy of the South-Heaven Gate. Why would he care any more?
"Stop it."
At that instant, a loud roar could be heard, as a figure arrived at a shocking pace, who turned out to be the Vice City Lord of Linran City, Guan Hai.
"Duan Qing, no violence is allowed within Linran City, let alone murder. You should leave the city at once, and we will not accuse you of using violence. That's the order from the City Lord."
Guan Hai said with a stern voice.
The authorities of Linran City had no intention of intervening in the matter. However, Ning Jianfei was nevertheless an inner disciple of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground. They would not want him to die in their territory just like that.
Ning Jianfei let out a relieved sigh. Now that Linran City was involved, Duan Qing would not dare to harm him any further.
"No violence is allowed in the city? Why didn't you guys intervene when Ning Jianfei started attacking me? What a joke, I insist on taking his life today."
Qin Nan uttered a hollow laugh, as he proceeded to slash downward with the saber intent on his hand.
"You…"
Ning Jianfei opened his eyes wide before a saber glow sliced through his body.
"You four are with him too!"
Qin Nan showed no hesitation as he turned around and launched four blinding saber glows aimed at the four disciples of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground!
The five disciples of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground were slain without mercy!
At that instant, Guan Hai, Dong Kuo and his crew, and the crowd of cultivators—including Yi Feng himself—were dumbstruck!
This Qin Nan still dared to attack after Martial Monarch Linran was involved?
How reckless could this man be?
