Chapter 1434: Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique
Chen Nan and the Divine Calculator’s performances made the Demon Clan reconsider their view, as magic was indeed their weak point compared to their mastery of hand-to-hand combat.
However, the Divine Calculator’s cultivation was more famous than effective, and Chen Nan’s cultivation was too weak. Facing the endlessly approaching Yin Beasts, they gradually found themselves struggling.
"Roar!"
Ao Hao let out a thunderous roar, but everyone could hear the unwillingness mixed within it, as the array on the Flying Boat could no longer hold.
As the Yin Beast attacks became increasingly fierce, with a "pop," the Magic Array Barrier shattered completely, leaving the Flying Boat exposed to the Yin Beasts.
The Yin Beasts landed on the Flying Boat one after another, their corrosive fluids constantly dripping, turning the boat into a ragged mess.
Ao Hao’s massive body stretched out, as a fierce wind blew the Yin Beasts away. At the same time, fine raindrops fell like knives, piercing through the bodies of the Yin Beasts.
The Demon Clan knew there was no retreat, and without the array’s barrier, they could better unleash their strength. For a moment, all on the Flying Boat returned to their true forms, like demons dancing wildly.
"There’s just too many!"
When the Barrier broke, the Divine Calculator immediately moved to Chen Nan’s side, looking visibly shaken.
"Didn’t you look quite fierce just now? How come you can’t handle it now?" Chen Nan teased, trying to make light of the situation while taking out a Spirit Stone to recover his internal Mana.
The Divine Calculator glared, his neck stiffening, "How can a man say he can’t? But even if you break me to pieces, I can’t deal with so many Yin Beasts."
Chen Nan’s expression turned serious, speaking in a low voice, "Then let’s fight with all we have. Even if we want to run, there’s no way out now."
The Divine Calculator gazed at the surging wave of Yin Beasts, seeming to accept his fate. There was no escape outside, and staying on the Flying Boat gave them a sliver of hope.
So, with a Compass in one hand and a Peach Wood Sword in the other, he cast various magic, pushing his remaining Mana to the limits.
"Help me!"
A Great Demon let out a cry of agony, with half its body bitten by a Yin Beast, a look of terror on its face. But the next moment, blood splattered across it.
Amid fear and pain, this Great Demon perished in the Yin Beast’s mouth, and casualties began to appear among the Demon Clan, accompanied by horrific screams.
Just then, the Demon King at the side of the cabin was entangled, and a Yin Beast, three-feet tall like a massive bear, charged onto the Flying Boat, its limbs like pillars and claws glinting sharply.
With a swipe, a large hole was punched in the cabin, precisely where Yuan Sensen’s room was.
Inside, the Demons finally saw the true face of the Yin Beast, its sinister and terrifying appearance making many old and weak Demons scream in fear.
The sounds reached Chen Nan’s ears. He turned and saw the bear-like Yin Beast grab Yuan Sensen from the hole with its claws!
Its massive head, with a bloodthirsty maw full of sharp teeth, was about to bite down!
"No!"
An immense aura burst from Chen Nan’s body, a sound of explosion echoing in the air. He turned into a bolt of lightning, crossing all distances in an instant, crashing into the bear-like Yin Beast like a cannonball!
With a dull thud, the bear staggered back a few steps, but not too severely wounded. The Yin Energy on its body dissipated briefly before quickly regrouping.
This was a Yin Beast equivalent to the Nascent Soul Realm!
Yuan Sensen, whom it had grabbed, fell, already scared stiff, pale-faced, only returning to her senses once Chen Nan caught her, feeling the familiar warmth.
"Husband!"
Yuan Sensen burst into tears, burdened with countless grievances to pour out. But just then, the bear returned, its sharp claws striking down again.
"Husband, watch out!"
Chen Nan’s eyes suddenly focused, and he moved sideways with Yuan Sensen in his arms, but his back was still grazed by the bear’s claw, leaving three deep wounds.
Black blood oozed from the wounds, even the blood being eroded by Yin Energy.
Fear gripped Yuan Sensen’s heart, feeling that she was the cause of Chen Nan’s injury. She was flooded with guilt, weeping, "Husband, don’t worry about me. Just don’t get hurt."
Chen Nan patted her head, smiling, "Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. Go hide, let me handle these ghostly things!"
Though worried, Yuan Sensen knew that staying would only hinder Chen Nan, so she quickly returned to the cabin.
Only then did Chen Nan stand up, blood flowing from the wounds on his back, yet his brow didn’t furrow, his eyes filled with murderous intent, fixed on the bear-like Yin Beast.
"Hurt my woman? Unforgivable!"
He dashed forward instantly, but faster than him was a flash of white lightning. The fierce Thunder dispelled the dark mist, exploding on the bear!
Many Demons able to use the Thunder Technique felt fear at the presence of the Hongmeng Origin Thunder, even some Yin Beasts retreated from the Source Thunder’s aura.
As the Thunder faded, the bear-like Yin Beast’s Yin Energy scattered, giving out a wail of pain. Chen Nan took the chance to rush in front of it, gathering immense power in his palm.
Clenching his fist tightly, he punched the bear’s chest, creating a sound like an explosion, making the bear stagger backward, black liquid splattering everywhere.
Yet the bear-like Yin Beast seemed immune to pain, lunging at Chen Nan, opening its maw full of fangs, spewing dozens of threads, attempting to bind Chen Nan’s limbs.
Chen Nan dodged quickly, Seven Stars appearing underfoot, and the Demon Suppressing Sword flew from his body, emanating an eerie red glow.
He clearly saw the Yin Beast’s eyes, originally filled with ferocity and coldness, flash with a trace of fear the moment the Demon Suppressing Sword appeared.
"Die! Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique!"
Chen Nan roared, his body brushing past the bear-like Yin Beast, a red flash like a thread slicing through space.
The bear-like Yin Beast’s body split in two, falling to the sides, dissolving into dense Yin Energy before hitting the ground, all of it surging into the Demon Suppressing Sword.
However, the black threads it had spewed seemed to have autonomy, directly entangling Chen Nan’s limbs, burrowing into his flesh.
"This is bad!"
Chen Nan’s expression changed, hastily invoking the Heaven-Burning Flame to incinerate the threads, but they clung like parasites, burrowing deeper into his flesh.
Neither Thunder nor flame could destroy these threads, which continued draining Chen Nan’s Mana, like blood-sucking worms.
In this critical moment, Chen Nan could only temporarily ignore them, turning to hunt down other Yin Beasts.
