Chapter 1626 – Danger Strikes
"Fif…fif…fifteen zhang of materialized red glow?"
The faces of the five young men turned pale white instantly. Their bodies trembled in fear subconsciously as they began to stutter as they spoke.
They had come from another Small Immortal Realm, and were the top inner disciples of a faction led by a Peerless Ruler.
They had seen many Peerless Geniuses and some infamous cultivators, yet they had never seen a Heaven God emitting a crimson-red glow that was fifteen zhang thick.
"Fif…fifteen zhang?"
In addition to them, Little Peng Emperor Wan Xiao, Zhao Lijian, Elder Lin, and the peak Heaven Gods were totally dumbfounded too.
A solid, crimson-red glow covering a distance of fifteen zhang!
What does it even mean?
It's only possible when someone has killed at least eight Peerless Geniuses!
Most importantly, they had always kept an eye on Qin Nan, thus they clearly knew it had only been around a month since the little incident during the birthday feast!
What was he up to in such a short period that he had slain so many Peerless Geniuses?
"Qin Nan, you…"
Tang Qingshan was not familiar with the Seal of the Heavens and Earth, but since he had taken the path of killing, he knew the significance of Qin Nan's murderous aura.
It was not long since Qin Nan came to the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, and what exactly had he gone through already?
"Spare us! Senior, please spare our lives! We are the inner disciples of Aqua Lunar Immortal Emperor. We apologize for misbehaving, we'll now…"
The five young men immediately collected their thoughts and started begging. They totally forfeited their disdainful attitude.
Buzz!
However, before they could finish, an icy saber intent devoured them like a wide-open, bloody mouth of a demon.
The five peak Heaven Gods were killed instantly.
The Heaven Gods that were ten thousand zhang away gasped. The icy saber intent and the splattering fresh blood had combined into a great visual impact to them.
They initially thought they would have no trouble taking down a Peerless Genius with their number!
However, they realized they were wrong, very wrong!
Even Peerless Geniuses varied greatly in terms of strength, and this Qin Nan was definitely one of the strongest Peerless Geniuses they had ever seen!
They could not even survive a single attack from him!
"Fellow cultivators in the sky, you are pretty good at hiding. I didn't even notice you until now, and I'm very close to getting trapped in your formation."
Qin Nan raised his head and said coldly, his blood-colored hair dancing in the wind.
Even though he had yet to execute any Immortal Art, many of the Heaven Gods felt their scalp turning numb as if a ghastly demon had set its eyes on them.
"Run!"
The Heaven Gods that had only mastered two of the Four Extremities immediately executed their best movement technique and sprang into the distance without hesitation.
"Crap!"
Little Peng Emperor Wan Xiao, Zhao Lijian, and Elder Lin were startled too.
Qin Nan's murderous aura had indeed taken them by surprise, but they actually still had a great chance of taking him down if they stuck to their plan.
But now, the tables had been turned.
"Destruction Battle Saber!"
Qin Nan made his move by simply swinging his saber. A formidable saber intent sprang into the sky from the woods like a peerless, savage dragon, landing on the weak point of the formation.
BANG BANG BANG!
The runes of the formation surfaced and broke into pieces.
Following it, Little Peng Emperor Wan Xiao, Zhao Lijian, Elder Lin, and the others were exposed in the air.
"Little Peng Emperor, it's you again!"
Qin Nan's eyes were engulfed in golden flames as he put on his armor. He directly approached the enemy and lashed out with thousands of formidable saber intents.
"How did his cultivation become so strong?"
Little Peng Emperor Wan Xiao and Zhao Lijian initially planned to take Qin Nan on, but their hearts shuddered when they saw how strong the saber intents were.
"Withdraw!"
The trio immediately fled for their lives in their respective ways.
Meanwhile, they were regretting their decision too.
If they knew Qin Nan had grown so much stronger, they would not even bother troubling him for the time being, as it would only waste their effort, and would even put their lives at risk.
The remaining Heaven Gods no longer had the courage to fight Qin Nan. Their formation instantly crumbled as they spread in all directions.
"How can I let you leave so easily if you have already set up a formation for me? Sky-Desolating Saber Intents, White-Slash Flying Spirit, Death Upon the Area!"
Qin Nan executed three moves with an imperious aura.
Following it, streams of saber intents targeted Little Peng Emperor and the others. Meanwhile, countless streams of Sky-Desolating saber intents pushed forward as several spirits appeared.
AH!
Cries of agony echoed in the sky.
The Heaven Gods fell to their death with blood splattering across the air.
Little Peng Emperor Wan Xiao, Zhao Lijian, and the others were severely injured too.
"What's going on? Why are so many experts dying and running away?"
The cultivators on the other mountains, and those that were making their way to the same mountain were astounded.
They assumed someone had triggered some kind of death trap.
"Consider yourself lucky for being able to run away so quickly!"
Qin Nan's aura calmed down as he landed on the ground. He said to Tang Qingshan with a smile, "Senior Brother, it's been a while."
The smile was warm and sincere. It was totally different than his previous appearance resembling a peerless demon.
"You…"
Tang Qingshan was startled, before a smile surfaced on his face, "You're really impressive, aren't you? You are already so strong even though you've only come to the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm not long ago."
Qin Nan coughed and changed the topic, "Senior Brother, what happened just then?"
Tang Qingshan's eyes flickered. He let out a sigh and said, "It's rather complicated…"
Qin Nan listened quietly without interrupting, and soon learned the entire story.
Unlike him, Tang Qingshan went to the Xuanpingtian Small Immortal Realm after he arrived in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.
He then discovered a shocking treasure in a forbidden place, but the young men from before were prying on him too.
As he was running away, the black saber stayed behind to protect him, and he ended up losing it.
In order to find the black saber, he came to the Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm and made his way to the Land of Immortal Death following his instinct. However, he ended up stumbling into the same group of people.
"I see." Qin Nan nodded. He suddenly recalled something and said, "Senior Brother, these mountains are very likely some kind of conspiracy, we must leave at once."
He almost forgot about it as he was too occupied with saving Tang Qingshan.
"Conspiracy?" Tang Qingshan frowned and said, "I remember…"
Before he could finish, the two sharply sensed the mountain under their feet starting to shake vigorously.
