School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master

Chapter 981: Chapter 1065: The Black Shadow

The skeletons emitted a faint white light, resembling Ancient Jade.

These are the remains of powerful beings.

Despite being dead for many years, the bones were unlike those of ordinary people. According to Chen Nan’s speculation, these should be the remains of Sky-reaching Strong People, but he couldn’t understand why such powerful beings in the Heavenly Realm would meet their end here.

With the strength of these ravens, they could definitely not harm the Sky-reaching Strong People.

Chen Nan protected himself with the Yin Yang Dual World barrier and continued to fly forward. However, as he progressed, he found increasing numbers of remains from powerful beings ahead.

Eventually, he saw more than ten skeletons of Sky-reaching Strong People piled together, with several skeletons still retaining some decayed skin and flesh. Dozens of ravens gathered, pecking at the decay.

At this moment, Chen Nan realized why these ravens grew so large and why their bodies remained undying after their consciousness faded.

The reason is that they fed on the flesh and blood of these powerful beings.

The flesh and blood of Sky-reaching Strong People altered the ravens’ constitution, causing them to grow gigantic. Even in death, their bodies remained imperishable, in a state of living death.

”Caw...”

A loud screech echoed as more than ten ravens, about as tall as tables, swooped in to attack Chen Nan.

Chen Nan rolled the Yin Yang Dual World to strike, with impact sounds echoing out, propelling the ravens away, but only losing a few feathers without any critical damage.

Obviously, these ravens had consumed more blood and flesh from powerful beings than the ones before, making their bodies even more terrifying.

The piercing raven calls continued—giant ravens that had been shaken off turned around, once more charging at Chen Nan, icy, blade-like claws, and beaks flashing ominously, capable of killing ordinary Taoist Masters.

Fortunately, Chen Nan had mastered the Life and Death Reincarnation Double World, combining offense and defense in one, or else, he might have been overwhelmed.

”You beasts, die!”

Chen Nan waved his hand, employing the Absorption Star Method, grasping five branches from the ground.

At the same time, he grabbed the glittering Heavenly Attraction Bow with his right hand, nocking five branch arrows, and with Inner Strength, pulled back the bow. With a ”swish,” the arrows flew out, causing a continuous ”puff puff” sound, as the branches pierced the giant ravens, instantly shattering them.

Five branches defeated five ravens.

The remaining eight ravens screeched, diving at Chen Nan once again.

Their life consciousness had long died; only their bodies remain, not knowing fear or understanding death, driven purely by a hunger for sustenance, prompting their repeated attacks on Chen Nan.

Chen Nan took aim with the bow... or more accurately, nocked branches.

Golden light arrows were loosed from the gold-colored Heavenly Attraction Bow, slicing through the sky, piercing the bodies of the ravens.

After defeating these strongest ravens, Chen Nan initially thought the battle concluded, but unexpectedly, a ”caw caw” rang out, as two ravens, measuring one and a half meters in height, surged from deep within the mountains, claws and beaks poised in attack.

”Infinite Buddha Handprint!”

A massive Buddha handprint gathered in the air, striking down on one raven’s head.

”Boom!”

Dirt erupted as the giant raven crashed into the ground.

Simultaneously, Chen Nan’s other hand moved, sending another Infinite Buddha Handprint down, striking another raven to the ground.

Chen Nan assumed these two monsters were smashed to pieces. Yet, lifting the Buddha handprint, he found the ravens unscathed, screeching and swooping at him with icy Death Energy covering him.

With the Dual World protective barrier, Chen Nan was unafraid of the Death Energy’s corrosion, quickly forming another Buddha Handprint to strike the ravens’ heads.

”Boom!”

”Boom!”

”Boom!”

One strike followed another as Chen Nan relentlessly attacked, Buddha Handprints bombarding down repeatedly.

Quickly, two massive pits appeared on the ground, the giant ravens furiously pummeled into the earth by Chen Nan.

To everyone’s surprise, moments after Chen Nan ceased his attack, two forms flashed from the pits, as the giant ravens lunged at Chen Nan with sharp claws extended.

The defenses of these ravens reminded Chen Nan of the Black Feathered Chicken.

All these feathered monstrosities were just that resilient!

”Life and Death Reincarnation, Space Confinement!”

As the ravens neared, Chen Nan activated the Space Confinement ability within his Dual World, causing the ravens to sink into an inescapable mire, heavily restricted.

”Die now.”

Chen Nan casually grabbed two branches from the ground.

”Swish...”

The branches, akin to refined steel, erupted at once, piercing the ravens’ bodies.

Blood scattered in mid-air, yet the ravens remained unaffected, shrieking at Chen Nan, trying to reach him despite their restricted movement.

”I refuse to believe you can’t be shot down.”

Chen Nan grabbed two more branches, nocked them onto the Heavenly Attraction Bow, aiming at the ravens.

This time, he altered his target—their heads.

Two golden arrows burst forth, with two crisp ”pop” sounds, as the giant ravens’ heads cracked, headless bodies plummeting down.

Chen Nan felt helpless.

Others shot eagles; he shot ravens with a bow...

After eliminating these strongest ravens, Chen Nan traveled several miles without further attacks.

Until another five miles deeper—

”Swipe...”

A shadow flickered by the side.

Chen Nan quickly turned, barely catching a remnant glimpse. The shadow moved with astonishing speed.

It seemed almost a human figure.

Chen Nan was uncertain, he hadn’t clearly identified it.

Cautiously surveying, Chen Nan paused at the spot for half a minute. Without the shadow reappearing, he resumed forward.

”Swipe...”

Just as he advanced, the shadow flickered behind again, too fast for a clear capture.

”What? Reveal yourself!”

Chen Nan shouted, but received no reply.

Remaining a few seconds further, Chen Nan resumed his journey, intensifying his vigilance to the maximum.

Indeed, he barely began when a sharp wail reverberated, the shadow exuding endless Death Energy as a chilling wind headed toward his back.

Chen Nan whirled around, sending Chaos Sword Wave towards the rear.

The shadow emitted a sharp shriek, darting aside and vanishing into the trees; yet now, Chen Nan caught clear sight of its True Body.

It was indeed a human figure, merely oddly dressed.

Instead of clothes, it wore a blood-stained shroud!
