Peerless Battle Spirit **Chapter sponsored with thanks to Alucard**

The trio took a deep breath with stern-looking faces.

If Xiao Leng were by himself, they would not be worried. However, if Xiao Leng managed to find a genius disciple as a helper, the outcome of the battle would be unpredictable; thus they had to treat it with caution.

However, when the three saw Qin Nan’s face, they were all shocked at the same time.

Wasn’t this Qin Nan?

So Qin Nan was the helper whom Xiao Leng found?

Wang Meng quickly collected his thoughts and burst out laughing, “HAHAHA, Xiao Leng, I never expected you to find such a piece of trash to be your helper. Actually, thanks for bringing him to me!”

Wang Meng’s expression became excited.

Previously at the Mystic Spirit Sect, Wang Meng had already promised Ling Zixiao that if he were to stumble upon Qin Nan during the Trial of Versatility, he would slay him without hesitation. However, as everyone’s location was randomized at the beginning, despite his willingness, there was no guarantee that he would bump into him.

Why would he not be excited now that Qin Nan was right before him?

Not only was Wang Meng excited, the other two disciples were excited too.

If they were able to slay Qin Nan here, not only would they receive lots of benefits, Ling Zixiao would also be grateful toward them; there was no reason for them not to be excited.

Xiao Leng was not too surprised seeing their reaction. He said in a cold voice, “Wang Meng, there’s no point in wasting my time hearing your bullshit. Hand over the map now, or prepare for a battle!”

“A battle?” Wang Meng laughed mockingly and said with a disdainful face, “Xiao Leng, you dare to fight me just because you’ve found Qin Nan to be your helper? Let me give you a piece of advice; since you have brought Qin Nan here as a gift for me, I’m willing to spare your life one last time, so piss off from my sight.”

The other two disciples wore smug expressions on their faces; they did not consider Xiao Leng and Qin Nan to be worthy opponents.

Xiao Leng was furious upon hearing this; he did not expect Wang Meng to be so cocksure even at this stage.

However, before Xiao Leng could do anything, Qin Nan—who had remained silent the whole time—burst out laughing, “Wang Meng, is it? I’ve heard that you are one of the top ten geniuses. Is that true?”

The words stunned Wang Meng briefly, who raised his head and said with a prideful tone, “That’s right. I’m one of the top ten geniuses—ninth to be precise. Qin Nan, if you were to kneel on your knees and give me three kowtows now, I’ll consider crippling you instead of taking your life.”

“Hehe,” Qin Nan laughed and said calmly, “The kowtows won’t be necessary. I have only one request; since you were calling me a piece of trash, do you have the guts to fight me alone? Of course, if you don’t, maybe it’s better for you to stay quiet.”

At that instant, Qin Nan’s face became icy cold, as he emitted a murderous aura around him.

If Qin Nan had a slightly murderous intent before, his current appearance indicated that he had completely committed to murdering the person before him.

Initially, there was no personal conflict between himself and Wang Meng, but apart from verbally insulting him, Wang Meng had even planned on killing him too. Hence, instead of wasting his time talking nonsense, Qin Nan had decided to challenge him to a battle, so that he could kill him.

You should never show mercy to your enemies.

However, Xiao Leng, Wang Meng, and the two disciples were stunned after hearing the words.

Did Qin Nan just challenge Wang Meng to a solo battle?

Everyone knew that Wang Meng possessed an eighth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit, and his cultivation had reached the seventh-layer Body Tempering Realm; he had even mastered the Minor Success Stage of One with the Saber. He was also ranked ninth among the top ten geniuses—a rank higher than Xiao Leng.

Even though Qin Nan possessed an eighth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit, he dared to challenge Wang Meng to a duel with his cultivation of the sixth-layer Body Tempering Realm?

This was suicide!

“HAHAHA!” Wang Meng burst out laughing, as if he had just heard the best joke of his life; his eyes were filled with disdain, “Interesting, very interesting. You dare to challenge me. I’m more than happy to grant you your death wish!”

Following this, he took a big step forward, emitting an imperious aura filled with murderous intent, which caused the heart-rate of the people nearby to increase.

Xiao Leng was startled and yelled, “Qin Nan, don’t be stupid. You’re no match against him.”

“Xiao Leng, save your breath, it’s not like I’ll listen to your advice anyway.” Qin Nan said calmly, “Besides, who told you that I’ll lose in the fight?”

Xiao Leng was immediately stunned after listening to the words.

Why was Qin Nan still being so conceited at this stage?

He was entirely dissatisfied with Qin Nan’s behavior.

He was trying to be kind and save his life, but not only did Qin Nan ignore his words, he had even replied with such an attitude. How could Xiao Leng feel pleasant about that?

Xiao Leng straightened his face and said in a cold tone, “If death is what you seek, then I’ll stay out of the way.”

After finishing the sentence, Xiao Leng leapt into the air and landed on top of a big tree, before staring down at the battle coldly.

Meanwhile, a furious expression could be seen on Wang Meng’s face as he snapped, “Qin Nan, I’m surprised that you’re still able to be so arrogant. I’ll have to witness myself how powerful you are that you’ve got the courage to roar at the disciples at the White Jade Dojo and now disrespect me like this!”

An aura of the seventh-layer Body Tempering Realm was unleashed from Wang Meng’s body.

Along with this, eight golden rays were unleashed with a long, ice-covered sword slowly appearing behind Wang Meng.

This was Wang Meng’s full strength.

Despite that, Wang Meng was not in a rush to attack; he approached Qin Nan taking one step at a time with a cold expression, as if he planned to torture Qin Nan slowly to death.

Seeing this, the two disciples beside Wang Meng laughed coldly with disdainful looks. One of them said, “This Qin Nan is ruthless. Senior Brother Wang Meng could even kill an eighth-layer Body Tempering Realm cultivator with ease. Does this Qin Nan seriously think he stands a chance? He is just a piece of trash—I doubt he can survive three attacks from Senior Brother Wang Meng.”

The other disciple smirked after hearing the words, and said, “Three attacks? In my opinion, one attack would be enough for Senior Brother Wang Meng to destroy him!”

Xiao Leng continued to coldly spectate without saying anything. In his view, Qin Nan was not as weak as they had described; he could withstand at least ten attacks facing Wang Meng.

In the meantime, Wang Meng’s movement came to a stop before he smiled and mockingly said, “Qin Nan, I’ve learned a new Fist Art recently; Be proud, as you are the first one to have a piece of it!”

After saying this, Wang Meng executed his attack. His whole body sprang forward at an incredible speed, producing countless forceful gusts that swept into the surroundings.

“Nine Forces in One, Nine Impacts Battling Fist!”

Wang Meng let out a huge roar; nine different types of forces could be felt throughout his body, which all gathered at his fist, forming a terrifying power; he then fired it as a punch toward Qin Nan from three meters away.

The punch slightly astonished Xiao Leng and the other two disciples.

It was because this Fist Art was powerful enough to instantly kill an ordinary eighth-layer Body Tempering Realm cultivator!

“Nine Impacts Battling Fist? Quite an intriguing name, but you aren’t being serious trying to kill me with this Fist Art, right?” Qin Nan’s expression remained unchanged as he calmly observed the approaching danger. As the large fist was about to land on him, his entire figure disappeared with a flicker.

Movement technique: Mystical Eight Steps.

At that instant, Qin Nan’s figure turned into a cloud of smoke and floated away, dodging the murderous punch in an unusual way.

“Hmm?” Wang Meng was shocked.

Xiao Leng and the other two disciples were shocked too.

They did not expect Qin Nan to have mastered such an advanced movement technique; with just a slight movement, he was able to dodge Wang Meng’s terrifying attack with ease.

Wang Meng recovered from the shock and licked his lips before saying, “What a surprise, you aren’t as bad as I thought. But despite having some tricks up your sleeve, you’re still a piece of trash in my eyes!”

After he finished the sentence, Wang Meng gathered all his might and sprang forward toward Qin Nan, exuding a murderous pressure.
