School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master

Chapter 463: Chapter 517: Jiang Haotian, I Want You Dead!

A dense aura of death emanated from the shadowy figure as it let out a piercing shriek and lunged forward.

”It’s a War Corpse!”

Chen Nan’s right hand trembled as he swiftly grasped the Hunyuan Sword in his palm.

Bright sword light radiated from the blade, Chen Nan swung his arm forward, chopping down with force.

”Puh...”

Black blood splattered, and the War Corpse was cleaved into two by Chen Nan. A stench of decay filled the air, dead beyond dead.

”That was just an ordinary War Corpse, in its lifetime its strength was at most that of Qi Dao Fifth Layer Heaven,” Poison Wolf said. ”It must have been intentionally placed by the Corpse Control Sect on the mid-slope, serving as a guard.”

Chen Nan nodded, ”Try to keep our presence hidden as much as possible, there must be more powerful War Corpses ahead, it’s best not to be detected by them.”

The two moved like ghostly shadows, quickly rushing up the mountain.

With prior experience, they proceeded extremely cautiously, managing to avoid detection by other guard War Corpses along the way.

It was not until they were less than five hundred meters from the summit that a War Corpse, whose pre-death strength had reached the First Level of the Imperial Realm, spotted them.

Its pre-death strength reached the Master Realm, and after death, its body was refined by the Corpse Controllers, becoming tougher than when alive. However, the power within it was far less potent than before death, capable of unleashing at most the strength of Qi Dao Ninth Layer.

Chen Nan slashed with his sword, sending the War Corpse flying several tens of meters, but the blow only injured some of its flesh and utterly failed to kill it.

”This thing’s skin is too tough.”

Chen Nan looked at his Hunyuan Sword, usually able to cut through iron as if it were mud, and felt a bit surprised.

Seeing the War Corpse charge towards him again, Poison Wolf said, ”I’ll use my True Qi to immobilize it, you handle the killing.”

”Okay!”

Chen Nan agreed.

”Humming...”

The void trembled slightly as Poison Wolf waved his hands, a white True Qi surged out and instantly enveloped the War Corpse.

Although this War Corpse was the body of a Taoist Master, after being refined, aside from its tough body, its attack power was greatly reduced. Now immobilized by Poison Wolf’s True Qi, it couldn’t move at all.

Chen Nan spat, then swung the Hunyuan Sword at the neck of the War Corpse.

”Clang...”

The sharp blade struck the War Corpse, emitting a sound like metal clashing, cutting only a centimeter deep.

”Dammit, I refuse to believe I can’t kill you.”

Chen Nan fully activated his True Qi, swinging the Hunyuan Sword repeatedly.

One strike!

Two strikes!

Three strikes!

”Puh...”

Dark, foul-smelling blood sprayed in the air, the headless War Corpse fell to the ground, its head rolling more than ten meters away.

At that moment, Chen Nan finally understood why Poison Wolf had been entangled by Jiang Haotian’s War Corpse.

The War Corpse before him had been a First Level of the Imperial Realm in life, and was so difficult to kill; the one that battled Poison Wolf had been a Second Level Taoist in life. With his own strength, indeed it would take some effort to kill it.

”Damn, this ability to withstand blows is too strong,” Chen Nan cursed, pointing ahead and saying, ”We’re getting close to the summit, slow down a bit. Otherwise, if we alarm the War Corpses ahead, fighting them could easily alert the people of the Corpse Control Sect.”

Poison Wolf nodded.

They crouched low, using the trees to hide their presence as they sneaked up toward the summit.

When they were about fifty meters from the peak, they could vaguely see the buildings above, but just then—

”Aaaoow...”

The roar shook the sky, and a war corpse suddenly leaped up, waving its claws, and pouncing towards Chen Nan and his group with its blood-filled maw wide open.

Chen Nan’s expression drastically changed. This war corpse, in life, must have reached at least the Third Level of the Tao.

Although it had been dead for many years, the strength that remained in its body still possessed the explosive power of the Qi Dao Ten Layers. As for its flesh, having been tempered by the Corpse Control practitioners, it was now impervious to blades and swords.

”Hiss Hiss...”

With sword qi crisscrossing, Chen Nan didn’t say a word and raised his sword to strike.

”Bang!”

Empowering the Hunyuan Sword with the strength of the Crack Sky Hand, it shone brilliantly with golden light. Chen Nan’s sword strike was hindered by the corpse’s claws, instantly sparking and creating a harsh noise as the war corpse was sent flying more than ten meters away, screeching incessantly.

Poison Wolf also had an ugly expression, saying, ”This war corpse is at least twice as strong as the one I killed during the day.”

”The old method, you hold it down, and I’ll kill it,” Chen Nan commanded as he held up his sword.

”Alright!”

Poison Wolf moved with the speed of lightning as he performed the Slaughter God Seven Steps, rapidly reaching behind the war corpse, grabbing its arms from behind, and planting a foot on its back, while a piercing light enveloped the war corpse, rendering it immobile.

At this point, Chen Nan no longer cared about alerting the people from the Corpse Control Sect.

His whole body radiated a piercing golden light, his combat power maximized, and he swung his Hunyuan Sword through the sky, aiming a strike at the war corpse’s head.

”Clang!”

With a single swing, it was as if he had struck hard iron, sending sparks flying everywhere.

”Don’t hack at the head, the skull is too hard; aim for its neck!” Poison Wolf grimaced and said laboriously.

”I’ll try!”

Chen Nan swung the Killing Sword, its fierce edge slashing horizontally at the war corpse’s neck.

The result was similar to striking the head, generating the sound of hard objects colliding, making it difficult to penetrate.

Touching the backpack on his back, Chen Nan considered using the Jade Lotus Platform but refrained, unsure how many more powerful enemies awaited ahead. The platform was his trump card magic treasure, not to be used prematurely.

”Brother, hurry up, I can’t hold on much longer!” Poison Wolf called out loudly.

Chen Nan stomped on the ground, True Qi crazily circulating throughout his body, boosting his combat power again. The Hunyuan Sword, now like a streak of golden lightning, flew through the air towards the neck of the war corpse.

This was the first time since reaching Qi Dao Ten Layers that he had unleashed his strongest attack.

”Hiss...”

Foul-smelling blood splattered as the Killing Sword penetrated half a centimeter deep.

The war corpse seemed to feel pain, struggling crazily and emitting a piercing scream that nearly burst people’s eardrums.

”Stop your damn screaming!”

Chen Nan cursed as he continuously swung the Hunyuan Sword, delivering nine consecutive strokes. Finally, the head of the war corpse flew off into the distance, and the headless body collapsed on the ground, black blood gushing out in a particularly disgusting scene.

However, simultaneously, a large group of people rushed down from the mountaintop.

Leading them was a young man, none other than Jiang Haotian!

He wasn’t using the Disguise Technique at the moment, no longer maintaining his previous appearance, but Chen Nan could still recognize him instantly.

”Haha, Chen Nan, you are quite bold! Just the two of you dare to cause trouble at my Corpse Control Sect,” he mocked with a big laugh.

As he glared at the audaciously laughing Jiang Haotian, Chen Nan, grinding his teeth, pointed his Killing Sword obliquely at the sky and said in a cold voice, ”Release Qingqing, and I will spare your life.”

”What a joke!”

Jiang Haotian sneered back, ”You really don’t know whether you’re dead or alive. Right now, I only need to shake the bell in my hand, and the war corpse army of the Corpse Control Sect will be enough to devour both of you as if you were prey. If you kneel and kowtow eight times to me, I might let you keep your corpse whole, turn you into a war corpse, and let you and Su Qingqing be a pair of dead lovebirds, how’s that? Hahaha...”

”Go to hell!”

Chen Nan roared furiously, his body leaping into the air, radiating piercing golden light, his sword light swallowing and releasing energy, the killing aura shaking the void, as he violently slashed down towards Jiang Haotian’s head!
