School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master

Chapter 984: Chapter 1068: Between a Rock and a Hard Place

”I don’t know if Hua Xian’er provoked the giant earlier, or if it attacked on its own.”

Chen Nan wasn’t sure of the temper of these giants, so he hid his presence and cautiously moved forward, trying not to make too much noise to avoid being noticed by this giant and causing trouble.

After walking roughly three miles, Chen Nan once again slowed down his pace.

Through the bushes, Chen Nan saw the thirty-meter-tall giant, but it was lying on the ground at the moment, snoring thunderously, evidently asleep.

Heaven helps me!

Chen Nan thought to himself but soon frowned.

Though the giant was asleep, it lay in the very path Chen Nan had to take to continue forward. If he went around it, he would have to pass through the adjacent forest, not knowing how far he’d have to detour; if he didn’t go around, he’d have to step over the giant.

After hesitating for a while, Chen Nan decided to fly over the giant.

After all, in the Aluo Mountains, all kinds of ghosts and spirits were everywhere. If he made a big detour, not only would the route lengthen, but he might also encounter other monsters, and there’s a chance of losing his way in these mountains by deviating from the map route.

Chen Nan slowly activated his Mysterious Skill, the Life and Death Reincarnation Taiji Diagram appeared, and the Space Power around him began to ripple. He gently flew up, minimizing disturbances, and aimed to fly over the giant.

However, he had just flown less than twenty meters and had only just reached above the giant—

”Roar...”

The thirty-meter-tall giant roared and immediately stood up, throwing a punch at Chen Nan.

Chen Nan was utterly shocked.

Other than slight ripples in space, he asked himself if he had made any sound, so how did this sleeping giant discover him?

Could it be—

Chen Nan thought of a possibility.

The ancient giant might have a strong sensitivity to spatial disturbances. After all, when Hua Xian’er used Space Magic to traverse space, the giant sensed the magic’s energy ripples and thus judged her direction and preemptively struck with a tree trunk.

This was dire information but Chen Nan had no time to dwell on it because the giant’s punch had already reached him.

”Infinite Buddha Handprint!”

”Broken Stele Suppression!”

Chen Nan unleashed two moves consecutively, initially thinking they could block the giant’s punch, but surprisingly, the giant’s strength was astounding. The Buddha Handprint shattered instantly, followed closely by the Residual Stele Illusion that was blasted back, flying toward Chen Nan.

With a mental flick, Chen Nan dissipated the Residual Stele Illusion in the air, then flicked his finger and unleashed the Chaos Sword Wave.

”Clang...”

The Destruction Sword Wave hit the giant’s fist, sparks flying.

The next moment, the Sword Wave dispersed in the air, and the giant’s fist remained unscathed. It roared toward the sky and charged at Chen Nan with huge strides.

At this critical moment, Chen Nan activated the Jie Character Secret Technique, triggering double strength.

With his current realm, he could trigger double strength at any time, but for triple strength, it would take dozens of attempts; as for the probability of triggering quadruple strength, that’s further down to one percent, even hundreds of percent.

”Three Elements Return to One!”

Without hesitation, Chen Nan unleashed a devastating move.

”Boom...”

Vigorous Demonic Qi exploded in the air, and the giant’s fist only paused for a moment before it came crashing toward Chen Nan again, the counterforce really spilling blood from his mouth and sending his body flying backward.

This giant’s strength was at least twice as strong as the one Hua Xian’er faced!

With Chen Nan’s current cultivation, he was almost completely unable to defeat it.

Seeing the giant never stop its advance, rapidly charging at him, Chen Nan’s Yin Yang Dual World turned, retreating quickly, but the giant was close behind, each step covering dozens of meters, its speed matched Chen Nan’s.

Chen Nan was alarmed; if it continued like this, it would be bad.

Though he had three replica Sky Splitting Arrows that could undoubtedly kill this giant, the arrows were limited in number. If used prematurely, once entering the mountain depths facing real threats, he’d be done for.

Chen Nan wouldn’t use the three replica Divine Arrows unless absolutely necessary.

With the giant pursuing and moving seemingly faster than his Life and Death Reincarnation Speed, Chen Nan grabbed three branches from the ground using the Absorption Star Method and pulled back the Heavenly Attraction Bow, firing explosively.

”Whoosh...”

The golden beams crossed the sky, shot toward the giant’s mouth and its two eyes.

”Roar...”

The giant let out a roar, punching forward.

With two shattering sounds, two golden lights dissipated in the air, branches shattered, and three arrows had been nullified by two. Meanwhile, the giant tilted its head to evade the third arrow.

However, the arrows shot from the Heavenly Attraction Bow were extraordinarily swift; although it avoided vital points, the Golden Light Arrow still grazed its scalp.

”Screech...”

The friction sound resonated, the arrow light scratched a line across the giant’s scalp.

Though the wound was small, it completely enraged the giant. It forcefully stomped the ground as if an earthquake occurred, its body leaping forward over a hundred meters with two giant hands shattering the void, coming at Chen Nan.

If those two palms hit, despite Chen Nan’s strong Martial Body, he feared severe injury.

”Chaotic Nine Forms!”

With no path for retreat, Chen Nan’s hands traced intricate paths in the air, the Power of Chaos consolidating.

Though his understanding of the Chaotic First Form was not very profound, using it consumed most of his Inner Strength, but at this life-and-death moment, he had no choice.

After consolidating the Power of Chaos in his hands, Chen Nan didn’t rush to unleash it. He condensed the Power of Chaos into a light arrow, then placed it on the Heavenly Attraction Bow. The supreme force of the Chaotic First Form, coupled with the divine might of the Heavenly Attraction Bow, launched an attack with Chen Nan’s furious roar.

The dazzling Chaotic Light Arrow dragged a long shadow in the air, far faster than the prior branch light arrows.

The giant realized the light arrow but was a step too late to avoid it, hit with a ”thud” on its shoulder, piercing a wrist-thick bloody hole.

A wrist-thick wound is serious for a human.

But for the gigantic ancient giant, it was merely a small injury.

It glanced at the bleeding shoulder, then thoroughly enraged, roaring and shaking Heaven and Earth, grabbing two large trees and smashing towards Chen Nan while its body dashed at great speed.

The previous move had consumed two-thirds of Chen Nan’s Inner Strength.

As he quickly dodged, he grabbed two Primordial Qi Pills, tossed them into his mouth to replenish his strength.

Simultaneously, Hua Xian’er’s loud shout came from the front: ”You sinful beast, you’re going to die today!”

With Hua Xian’er ahead, the ancient giant behind,

Chen Nan was caught in a dilemma.
