Chapter 1461: Chapter 1449: Hidden Motives (Part 2)

Her words struck Yun Ying like a bolt of lightning, leaving her petrified on the spot. When the bloody truth was torn open, all that remained was pain.

Only today did she finally realize that in the eyes of Mei Gui and others, she was merely a tool, a vessel, and even her own parents were killed by them.

In that instant, all her hidden reluctance and attachment vanished, leaving only pure hatred!

"You... deserve to die!" Yun Ying’s eyes turned slightly red, and she gritted her teeth.

Mei Gui’s lips curled into a cold smile: "You? You’re just a worthless piece of trash. You might have had some use, but now you’re of no value to me."

"Now, I’m more interested in him!"

Her gaze suddenly fell on Chen Nan. Ever since Chen Nan broke into the Three Mountains Forbidden Land, killed Zhang Sen, and took Yun Ying away, she had become intensely interested in him.

Chen Nan’s time-stopping secret technique especially fascinated her, perhaps it involved the legendary Time Law!

One must know that with the understanding of such laws of time and space, a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm would truly stand out.

Therefore, even when Taiyin mentioned that Chen Nan would not go far, and would even return to the Three Mountains Forbidden Land, Mei Gui still secretly left Moon River Valley to search for Chen Nan.

She wanted to uncover all of Chen Nan’s secrets!

"Senior Sister, stay back so that you won’t get splattered with blood later."

Chen Nan spoke softly, his words filled with killing intent. He initially thought Guo Qing and others only saw Yun Ying as a vessel for Taiyin, not expecting their actions to be even worse.

Even Yun Ying’s biological parents died at their hands; such actions were no different from those of demons.

Yun Ying slowly retreated, but then paused abruptly: "Junior Brother, I want to kill him with my own hands."

Chen Nan turned his head and gave a gentle smile, as if discussing a trivial matter: "Alright, no problem."

Their disregard caused Mei Gui’s face to darken immediately, her eyes filled with malice: "Arrogant words. Do you really think the loose cultivator you picked up at random can save you from water and fire?"

"Such things exist only in myths!"

As her words fell, a mighty aura burst forth from her body, with her at the center, layers of ripples spread across the sea. With a tremor of her sleeves, her delicate palm suddenly pushed forward.

In an instant, an invisible force swept forward like a gale, whipping up the sea into a massive tornado, roaring like a wild beast.

The clear sky quickly darkened, large swathes of dark clouds gathered rapidly, the world turned gloomy, the sea churned violently, resembling an apocalyptic scene.

Only after Yun Ying flew far away did Chen Nan turn around, his gaze turning icy cold once more. He had just sparred with Zheng Tuo, and the "Black Tortoise Form" could no longer be used.

"Very well, let me show you some other tricks!"

He muttered softly to himself, lightly tapping his chest, a lotus heart-shaped spiritual artifact with a metallic sheen flew out from his body, the Nabing Lotus Heart.

With a thought, the Nabing Lotus Heart unfurled like refining, array swords flew out one by one, eighteen... twenty... Obviously exceeding the usual limit, yet the array swords kept on pouring out.

Eventually, a total of twenty-four array swords flew out, each seeming ordinary, but a closer look would reveal faint constellations on each one.

As Chen Nan’s cultivation improved, the number of array swords he could wield increased, and the Seventy-two Star Constellation Sword Formation gradually revealed its fierce edge.

The array swords rapidly scattered, exploding like fireworks, encompassing an area of a thousand feet.

Seeing the incoming tornado approaching, Chen Nan patted his storage bag at his waist, a series of daggers surrounded by flames of different colors came flying out.

The daggers were as dense as a swarm of locusts, intimidating to behold, especially the flames wrapped around the blades, their terrifying temperature distorted the surrounding space.

One must know that these flames included the Heaven-Burning Flame, Mo Ying Flame, Netherworld Karmic Fire, Liaoyuan Fire, all famous on the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire ranking, now appearing on these daggers.

Each of these Flame Brilliance Daggers had been reforged by Chen Nan with his own flames, and due to the fusion of different flames, each dagger bore slight differences.

Daggers fused with Heaven-Burning Flame were extremely yang and firm, those fused with Mo Ying Flame were as black as ink, exuding a strange and chilling aura, and those fused with Netherworld Karmic Fire could even harm the Divine Soul.

"Go!"

With a forward point of his fingers, all the daggers charged densely towards the water tornado, plunging headlong into it, and in no time, flames began to blaze fiercely at the tornado’s center.

The steam left by the evaporating seawater quickly spread like a thick fog, obscuring vision, yet one could see the giant fiery tornado continuing to grow.

Like a fire dragon soaring towards the sky!

Mei Gui’s face changed, the tornado she had created went out of control, and no matter how she tried to manipulate it, it was to no avail, which stirred a slight sense of caution in her heart.

"I thought it was just an insect I could easily crush, but it seems more effort is needed."

Chen Nan casually drew a few spirit talismans, all of them Seventh Grade Hurricane Talismans, and threw them forward. Various spirit talismans flew to the front of the fiery tornado and exploded.

In an instant, the wind howled out, and the long fiery tornado was reflected back towards Mei Gui.

"Damn it!"

Mei Gui gritted her teeth, gathering vast mana in her hands, the green light dispersed the thick fog, swiftly condensing a giant ancient tree.

The ancient tree flew out, rapidly expanding, its dense canopy like a sky-sheltering umbrella, blocking the returning fiery tornado, yet the canopy was quickly set ablaze.

"Damn brat, I should have killed you when Yun Ying first picked you up!"

Mei Gui’s face was as dark as can be, flicking her fingers repeatedly, strands of mana shot out and landed on the emerald ancient tree, causing it to instantly collapse, and the fiery tornado turned into a rain of fire descending onto the sea.

Chen Nan smiled slightly, recalling all the Flame Brilliance Daggers, which circled around him like living creatures, and beneath his clothes, tiny scales appeared, each the size of a palm.

It was the Jiao Long Armor, which he had quietly donned for protection. Facing a Golden Core Realm Great Perfection cultivation level, proper precautions had to be taken.

But just then, he suddenly frowned, his internal mana circulation stalled momentarily, and when it resumed, it was extremely sluggish, as if moving from a highway to a bumpy dirt road.

"Is this... poison?"

Chen Nan raised an eyebrow, realizing instantly, Mei Gui being a medical cultivator, was naturally adept at using poison. This poison even took time to neutralize his immune constitution.

He glanced at the surrounding fog, suspecting Mei Gui’s method involved mixing poison into the water tornado, thus the fog also contained toxins.

He quickly waved his hand, unleashing gusts of wind to disperse the surrounding fog.

"Ha ha, figured it out? But you’re already too slow, having been poisoned by me, only death awaits."

As the fog dispersed, Mei Gui’s figure slowly emerged, casting a mocking sneer at Chen Nan, then opened her palm, allowing silver needles glowing with a green light to fly out from all over her body.

The silver needles were as thin as cow hair, barely visible without the green glow, and they exuded a putrid smell, clearly indicating high toxicity.

"Go!" Mei Gui flicked her fingers lightly.

Thousands of silver needles transformed into a storm again, surging like towering waves towards Chen Nan, weaving through the waves like living creatures.

From the giant waves, came a sizzling corrosive sound, spreading a multicolored poisonous fog!
