Chapter 1700 – Trouble Just Keeps Coming
Qin Nan did not stop. He continued to slash and fire his saber intents. A few tens of Human Immortals immediately fainted and fell to the ground just like before.
His two slashes had knocked out more than a hundred Human Immortals. Including those he had defeated before, he had knocked out half of the participants in the battle.
He had fulfilled the first requirement to become the Strongest Immortal.
“Such a strange saber art!”
“Qin Nan’s strength is just too terrifying!”
“He was being flanked by more than ten Peerless Geniuses, yet he still managed to defeat over a hundred Human Immortals in the process. Even a first-layer Earth Immortal couldn’t do that!”
The cultivators collected their thoughts. Their faces were filled with astonishment.
It had proven the saying, ‘he who is famous always lives up to his name’!
“He does have some tricks up in his sleeves.”
Meng Jiugong nodded slightly. As the Young Master of the Nine Palace Golden Immortal Sect, even though his cultivation was not particularly outstanding, he was still knowledgeable.
On the other hand, Heaven Immortal Wuchun, the Snow-Brow Heaven Immortal, the authorities, and the twelve Peerless Rulers of the Supreme Daoism factions were wearing grim looks. Their eyes flickered coldly too.
They had all treated Qin Nan as their enemy, thus the stronger Qin Nan seemed to be, the worse they would feel.
“Yan Qingyan, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and team up with Wu Huisheng and the others to knock Qin Nan out of the battle! otherwise, I’ll tell your master what happened and see what he’s going to say!”
A Peerless Ruler of the Reincarnation Sect with a goatee transmitted his voice.
He already gave Yan Qingyan the order before the battle started. However, for some reason, Yan Qingyan had disobeyed him. She insisted not to attack Qin Nan.
Meanwhile, other Peerless Rulers of the Supreme Daoism factions transmitted their voices once again. They were giving out orders to the disciples to target Qin Nan.
“Zhao Lijian, do as I say before.”
The South World Immortal Emperor expressionlessly transmitted his thoughts while he was tapping the Immortal Dragon Purple Chair with his finger.
“Drought Demon, you are really something. You have been dead for so long, yet you still managed to give me such a huge gift! Unfortunately, Qin Nan is still too weak now. If your spirit is watching somewhere, watch closely how I’m going to crush him!”
Long Xuanling let out a hollow laugh in his heart. He then transmitted his voice, “Zhao Kuo, if you want that thing back, kill Qin Nan right now!”
Unlike the Supreme Daoism factions, the two of them always wanted to kill Qin Nan before the Tide of Ascension. However, they never had a chance because of the circumstances.
As such, the two had been secretly setting up a deadly trap for Qin Nan before the start of the Battle of the Strongest Immortal.
Meanwhile, on the dojo…
Zhao Lijian quickly reacted. His gaze at Qin Nan flickered with a hint of disdain as he said, “Friends, our chance is here. Let’s attack together and kill Qin Nan!”
Soon, twenty Peerless Geniuses locked their murderous gaze on Qin Nan.
Unlike the rest of the Peerless Geniuses, they were rogue cultivators without bound to any of the factions. They had only come so far with the incredible successions they had obtained.
Before the start of the battle, Zhao Lijian and the Human Immortals under the reign of the South World Immortal Emperor found them and promised them huge benefits if they were to take Qin Nan out. They gladly accepted the offer.
“Qin Nan, I’ve heard the things about you. You are a real man. You surely impressed me. However, I have no choice but to be an asshole and kill you today as I was too deep in the swamp!”
Zhao Kuo’s expression shifted. He finally clenched his teeth and let out a roar. The halberd he was holding pointed at Qin Nan and emitted an imperious aura.
Yan Qingyan who was not far away fixed her attractive eyes on Qin Nan too. The expression on her beautiful face remained the same as she retained her otherworldly temperament.
Even though she did not speak a word, if Qin Nan was to take a closer look, he would see an apologetic look deep in her eyes.
Both of them were interested in fighting Qin Nan to see who was better, but they never wanted to fight him under their current circumstances.
The Bliss Immortal Emperor and his crew, Qiu Hong, Xu Xianzhi, and the Blood-Eye Human Immortal were startled.
“This…”
The cultivators were astounded once again.
Wu Huisheng, Huangfu Hou, Sima Xunbei, Zhao Kuo, Yan Qingyan; five of the Seven Elites of Heavens and Earth had teamed up against Qin Nan.
Together with Zhao Lijian, Long Chan, the others, and the rest of the Peerless Geniuses, there was a total of forty Peerless Geniuses picking on Qin Nan!
There were only seventy-three Peerless Geniuses that took part in the battle!
“Qin Nan, let’s see what you can do now!”
Heaven Immortal Wuchun, the Snow-Brow Heaven Immortal, the authorities, and the Peerless Rulers grinned.
They never thought someone else was planning to kill Qin Nan in addition to them.
That being said, they quickly reminded their disciples that they could only cripple Qin Nan at most instead of taking his life.
If Qin Nan died and the Peerless Geniuses that he abducted were released, they would end up making a huge mistake.
“That kid is something.”
Envoy Feng Hua raised his brows in astonishment.
On second thought, since Qin Nan had come from the same place as the woman, perhaps they both had the same personalities too. They were both extremely good at stirring troubles.
“HAHA!”
Qin Nan surprisingly burst out laughing facing the group of cultivators that had teamed up against him. A magnificent battle intent burst out of his body and soared into the sky.
“It’s a mixed battle, so whether you’re thinking of fighting me on your own or together with others, it’s still part of the rules. I, Qin Nan, gladly accept your challenge!”
“If it’s a fight you’re looking for, bring it on!”
Qin Nan’s blood hair drifted in the wind. His Heaven-Shattering Saber was influenced by his will. It buzzed and unleashed an overwhelming aura.
“Such courage!”
Zhao Kuo exclaimed. An ancient armor appeared on him, as if he was transforming into an unbeatable general.
“Chaos Heaven-Breaking Halberd!”
Zhao Kuo sprang forward and split into a hundred illusionary figures. Each illusionary figure was producing thousands of shadows of the halberd. The shadows eventually combined into one and attacked Qin Nan.
Wu Huisheng, Huangfu Hou, Sima Xunbei, and Yan Qingyan immediately made their moves too. They each executed shocking Immortal Arts as if they had suddenly transformed into authorities in ancient times.
Now that Qin Nan had expressed his willingness to accept their challenge, they would have to fight with all they had.
Any Peerless Genius would have a certain pride, not to mention someone as extraordinary as Qin Nan.
It was only respectful if they were fighting with their full strength.
“Kill!”
Zhao Lijian raised his sword into the sky, forcing the Peerless Geniuses to collect their thoughts. He then turned into a dragon and lunged at Qin Nan.
The entire dojo trembled as it began to break into pieces. Murderous auras surged across it as immortal light flickered on it.
