Chapter 1677 – Wan Xiao’s Sorrow
The fortunate encounters that had shown up this time were an ancient hammer carved with a few Nine Heavens Supremes on it, a golden sapling over half a zhang tall, and three pendants resembling a tiger, a cow, and a dragon.
Either one of the fortunate encounters was more valuable than the hundred immortal swords.
“Could that be the Sky-Golden Tree?”
“Go get them, we can ascend as long as we manage to secure any of them!”
The fortunate encounters immediately caught the attention of the cultivators that were in the middle of the battle. They quickly executed their forbidden arts.
“HAHAHA, my luck has come!”
Wan Xiao burst out laughing. His gaze sharpened, “These things are mine!”
He extended his wings and with a single flap, producing gusts of wind knocking the cultivators flying and shattering their arts.
The wind also blew the valuable loot toward him. He quickly put them away.
“You moron! You dare to hog all the loot?”
A loud roar came above Wan Xiao. Two Peerless Geniuses from the Sanqing Ancient Palace and the Ten Desires Sect weaved through the crowd and attacked Wan Xiao.
The other cultivators collected their thoughts too. They clenched their teeth and unleashed their Immortal Arts.
“Did you just call me a moron?”
Wan Xiao’s expression darkened. He was the son of the Golden-Winged Peng Emperor, he had inherited the bloodline of the ancient Golden-Winged Peng. It was his first time being called a moron.
Even Qin Nan did not call him a moron.
“All disciples, heed my order, kill these two morons!”
Wan Xiao snapped furiously. A brilliant purple glow burst out of his body as his feathers turned into blades flying at the two Peerless Geniuses.
A huge crowd of cultivators behind him reacted to his order and attacked too.
How could this moron possess such powerful strength?”
The eyes of the two Peerless Geniuses widened. The Purple-Golden Bird was most likely worthy to be ranked in the top thirty on the Immortal Ascension Ranking, a lot higher than them.
“You two morons! Why aren’t you calling me a moron anymore?”
Wan Xiao let out a hollow laugh.
“You are indeed a moron, there’s nothing wrong about that.”
A cold voice appeared. Ci Renxian was approaching from the distance with three Peerless Geniuses by his side.
“Big bird, I, Luo Yan have an offer for you. If you’re willing to give me the loot and be my mount, I’ll guarantee your safety, how’s that?”
Luo Yan came too, he was all alone.
“Crap!”
Wan Xiao immediately felt his feathers standing upright. He quickly executed his strongest escaping art and flew into the chaotic battlefield ahead.
He was incredibly displeased, yet he was well aware of his own strength. He could handle ordinary Peerless Geniuses, but he would not stand a chance against those that were ranked in the top ten.
“Where do you think you are running to?”
Two terrifying auras immediately approached Wan Xiao from the back. Wan Xiao’s face turned pale, he quickly executed another art and extended his wings as a shield behind him.
BANG BANG BANG!
Twelve Immortal Arts landed continuously on him within the blink of an eye. He was constantly knocked flying. The purple glow he was emitting gradually dimmed too.
“Big bird, I’m warning you, if you don’t hand over the loot and be my mount, I’m going to kill you!”
Luo Yan’s eyes flickered coldly.
Even though he believed Wan Xiao was a rare species, he would not hesitate to kill the creature if it kept rejecting his offer.
Ci Renxian remained silent. He executed a variety of Immortal Arts and chased after Wan Xiao together with the three Peerless Geniuses.
“Why does everyone want to make me their mount?”
Wan Xiao was totally infuriated after being blasted by the Immoral Arts. His feathers started to fall off too. He felt extremely sullen too. He clenched his teeth and said, “Do you really think you can bully me as you please? When my master Qin Nan comes, none of you will be able to escape!”
Qin Nan’s prowess was deeply implanted in his heart, hence why he would yell his name out in a situation like this.
That being said, he purposely called Qin Nan his master so his enemies would shift their attention to Qin Nan instead.
After all, it was the man’s fault for being late, placing him in such circumstances.
“Your master, Qin Nan?”
Luo Yan squinted.
“Qin Nan is your master?”
Ci Renxian was started, before he soon wore a cold grin and said, “So Qin Nan is your master, it looks like there’s more reason to kill you now. Besides, even if Qin Nan is here, it won’t make any difference…”
The man performed a series of hand seals while he was speaking. Wisps of Dao Intent lingered in the air.
He was about to execute his killing blow!
“Is that so?”
In the nick of time, a calm voice appeared. The deafening explosions across the place did not cover his voice.
A man holding a saber showed up at the edge of the Carnage Sacred Ground.
“Mm? God of Misfortune Qin Nan?”
Lin Qingpo, Xiu Shenliang, Ding Tianqi, and the rest of the Peerless Geniuses turned their heads toward Qin Nan.
“His cultivation…has grown even stronger?”
Lin Qingpo, Xiu Shenliang, and Ding Tianqi instantly recognized the growth of Qin Nan’s aura.
“Qin Nan, you are finally here, I thought you did not dare to show up.”
Ci Renxian remained collected. He said in a cold voice, “It seems like you have improved too. That’s fine. Otherwise, it would be quite boring.”
The man suddenly moved, slashing at Wan Xiao as if he had turned into a peerless sword.
He was going to slay Wan Xiao first before slaying Qin Nan.
“You…”
Wan Xiao’s face turned pale once again.
Why was Ci Renxian still picking on him instead of attacking Qin Nan?
How was he supposed to defend himself against such a strong attack?
Did he really have to use his trump card?
BANG!
A magnificent saber intent descended from the sky and landed on Ci Renxian, knocking him a great distance away.
“Such a powerful saber intent, mm?”
Before Ci Renxian could finish his sentence, he immediately sensed a great danger approaching. He immediately dashed forward, but he was still too late. A man with blood-colored hair appeared not far away from him and slashed with his saber.
The man groaned in pain. A huge wound was left on his chest. His long robe was dyed red.
However, his eyes widened in panic instead of anger. A great chill exploded in his heart, even his soul began to tremble.
The terrifying aura made him feel like a savage beast that had been asleep for thousands of years had just woken up!
