Peerless Battle Spirit Chapter 67 - Figures in the Woods

The enormous Gloomy Thunderous Devil Martial Spirit instinctively trembled with fear after being exposed to the pressure of the Divine Battle Spirit.

This was known as the suppression between Martial Spirits.

The actual difference between the power of Martial Spirits—despite being only a grade lower—was incredible.

Childe Gloomy Rage had his eyes open wide as he held his breath; the execution of his strongest attack came to a stop at this moment.

He was completely shocked.

There was no way he would have expected Qin Nan’s Martial Spirit to be ninth-grade Huang ranked!

Wasn’t Qin Nan’s Martial Spirit eighth-grade Huang ranked?

Why was it now ninth-grade Huang ranked?

Previously at the White Jade Dojo of the Mystic Spirit Sect, every disciple—including Childe Gloomy Rage himself—had witnessed Qin Nan’s Martial Spirit to be eighth-grade Huang ranked.

Could anyone explain why there was a ninth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit before him?

After being exposed to the incredible pressure, his words felt like they were being squeezed out of his throat, “How did… Your Martial Spirit’s grade... How did it become ninth-grade Huang ranked…”

“Well, you shouldn’t expect yourself to know everything.” Qin Nan calmly said, “Now let me see what tricks you have up your sleeves. Show me what you’ve got!”

Hearing these words, Childe Gloomy Rage could feel his soul shivering. Without hesitating, he turned around and executed his Thunder Flashing Steps, fleeing for his life at the fastest speed he had ever managed in his life.

He was extremely frightened and terrified.

If Childe Gloomy Rage were simply facing a cultivator with a ninth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit and a cultivation of the seventh-layer Body Tempering Realm, he would not lose his mind like this. However, Qin Nan’s Martial Spirit was too shocking. It was only eighth-grade Huang ranked before, how had it suddenly become ninth-grade Huang ranked?

The shocking and terrifying fact immediately caused him to lose his mind, and to be filled with utter terror.

Even if he were given ten guts now, he would not dare to fight against Qin Nan.

Looking at the fleeing figure, a smirk appeared on Qin Nan’s face as he drew the saber from his waist with a whisk. Strong saber intents revolved around his figure as he gathered all his might; he then flung the saber, causing it to spring forward with a destructive aura.

Flying Saber Art, Hundred Steps Soaring Saber!

Childe Gloomy Rage, who was running for his life ahead, became aware of a sense of danger and instinctively turned around.

Following this, a blade flash could be seen coming fast toward him from afar, penetrating his body, and destroying his internal organs instantly.

“How... how… how…”

Childe Gloomy Rage opened his eyes wide in disbelief; he appeared to have something to say, but was unable to say it. Following that, he shrieked.

The blow had killed him.

In the last few seconds—in the midst of endless pain—Childe Gloomy Rage remembered his disdain and smugness toward Qin Nan and a sense of regret soon arose in his heart.

Why did I dare to look down on a ninth-grade Huang ranked cultivator?

Why did I dare to treat a ninth-grade Huang ranked super-genius disdainfully?

I’m such a joke—such foolishness.

However, it was far too late for repentance. Filled with regret, shock, pain, and terror, Childe Gloomy Rage, ranked fourth among the top ten geniuses, exhaled his last breath and finally died.

Seeing his, Qin Nan withdrew his Divine Battle Spirit and approached the body calmly.

He had never had any personal conflict with Childe Gloomy Rage, but he had called him trash, and had demanded him to drop to his knees. Therefore, when Childe Gloomy Rage fled for his life, Qin Nan followed without hesitation.

He was never merciful toward his enemies and he never allowed them to escape.

As usual, Qin Nan reached out his hands and searched Childe Gloomy Rage’s body.

On his body, there were lots of hidden weapons, including flying daggers and arrows with poison applied to the tips, which were used for unexpected attacks.

Besides that, what astonished Qin Nan was finding two Blue Dragon Badges and three hundred Xiantian Pills.

“Tsk, tsk, this guy is indeed one of the top ten geniuses, so rich…”

Qin Nan took a deep breath and claimed possession of the two Blue Dragon Badges and Xiantian Pills, placing them in his chest pocket.

Qin Nan did not stay any longer. He carried the corpse on his shoulder and disappeared into the woods with a leap.

...Meanwhile, at the lake where the Three Petal Golden Lily was...

The Blood Barrier Mist on the lake had started to vanish, revealing the true appearance of the lake.

Despite that, no one was focusing on the changes to the lake; everyone was staring at the woods while chatting with each other.

“It’s been a while since they left, I assume the battle between the too has come to an end.”

“HAHAHA, in my opinion, even though Qin Nan would not be killed by Childe Gloomy Rage, he would be severely injured, barely surviving the battle.”

“Heh, who asked him to be so cocky? He even dared to hunt Childe Gloomy Rage down by himself, such recklessness. Even if he did survive, he would be close to dying!”

“Hmph, I don’t think so. Childe Gloomy Rage was ranked fourth among the top ten geniuses—he would easily eliminate Qin Nan.”

“I bet Qin Nan is dead for sure!”

……

These disciples were so excited that they had even started to organize bets, guessing whether Qin Nan had been severely injured or killed.

In their opinions, Qin Nan was so full of himself even when his cultivation was only at the seventh-layer Body Tempering Realm that his ending would surely be miserable.

On the other hand, after hearing the disciples’ discussions, Chu Yun’s pretty face turned dark, with a growing glint of worry in her eyes.

She continued to pray in her heart for Qin Nan. Even if Qin Nan was severely injured, it was better than him dying.

As for Xiao Leng standing beside her, even though he was slightly worried, he was not nervous at all.

This was because previously at the cave, he had experienced the enormous pressure emitted from Qin Nan’s body; hence, he was confident that Qin Nan held a powerful trump card—even if he was defeated, he would surely survive.

All of a sudden, one of the disciples yelled out, “Someone’s coming…”

Hearing the yell, the entire place fell silent and the atmosphere intensified.

Xiao Leng, Chu Yun, and all the disciples raised their heads at almost the same time, gazing toward the woods.

In their view, a figure was slowly approaching them from the woods...
