At the last moment, the Sun and Moon Sword God quickly detected Martial Monarch Nanjianâs intentions and slashed forward with the sheath. It penetrated the South-Heaven Supreme Emperorâs body. The overwhelming power immediately burst its body open with brute force!
âUsing all things on Earth as swords, Delusive Sword Art!â
The Sun and Moon Sword God performed a seal with one hand and flicked his finger!
The rift ahead became twisted, as a pitch-black tunnel appeared out of nowhere. At the end of the tunnel stood an ancient deity, who slashed downward with a peerless sword!
A tremendous sword intent surged out from it instantly!
The sword intent was completely illusionary. It did not make a single noise!
The reason being that it was not meant to deal physical damage, but rather to crush oneâs soul!
âMaster, save me!â
Martial Monarch Nanjian could feel his scalp turning numb. His hair stood on end as he uttered the scream!
At that instant, the entire place fell deathly silent. Every voice completely vanished!
A brilliant glow burst out from the Sumeru Ring on Martial Monarch Nanjianâs hand, which slowly transformed into a glamorous illusionary figure with an incredible presence. Even the sword intents sealing off the space were shattered by the aura!
âIs thisâŠthe aura of a Martial God?â
Qin Nan squinted when he saw the brilliance.
It was his first time seeing a Martial God Realm expert from the South-Heaven Sacred Ground.
âMy cloneâs strength was still a step late. Frostless Martial God, itâs been a while.â
The Sun and Moon Sword God spoke calmly. The sword sheath returned to his hand.
âSenior Sun and Moon?â
The glamorous figure was slightly startled when she saw the Sun and Moon Sword God and Qin Nan who was standing behind him. She quickly snapped after a slight pause!\nâYou imbecile disciple, how dare you offend Senior Sun and Moon. Go back and repent at once!â
Following the voice, the glamorous figure reached out her hand, summoning ancient runes above Martial Monarch Nanjianâs head. The runes quickly wrapped around Martial Monarch Nanjianâs body and teleported him away!
âTrying to save him in front of me?â
The Sun and Moon Sword God wore a calm expression. The sword sheath in his hand fired two brilliant sword intents!
BANG!
At the last moment, the glamorous figure used her body to shield against the two sword intents. A shocking collision took place!
The glamorous figure swayed wildly as its glow became dimmer!
âSenior Sun and Moon, Iâll take on your slash, but would you mind?â
The glamorous figure said with a gentle voice as she reached out her hand!
Ancient runes began to appear above the Xuan-Wind Martial Monarch and the other Martial Monarchâs dead bodies!
She was planning to retrieve the two corpses too!
âYouâve already saved him and now youâre planning to take the two corpses too?â
The Sun and Moon Sword God said calmly. he waved his sleeves and shattered the two corpses into pieces with a sword intent.
âIf senior insists, but fate has brought this young cultivator to me today. I have a gift for him, I hope you will allow it.â
The glamorous figure locked her gaze onto Qin Nan instead and fired a magical glow with a flick. It traveled across the distance and marked Qin Nanâs body with an eerie red flower.
Her intention to retrieve the two corpses was only a misdirection. Her true target had been Qin Nan all along.
âMm?â
Qin Nan was stunned.
The magical glow was too fast for him to react. There was no way he could dodge it in time.\nâKeke, thank you, senior. Until next time.â
The glamorous figure giggled as red glows burst out from her body, crushing her into pieces.
As the overwhelming presence disappeared, the place returned to calm.
âForce of Destruction!â
Qin Nan demanded. Streams of the will of destruction burst out from his chest.
However, the red flower was perfectly unharmed.
âDonât waste your effort. The flower wonât bring any harm to you, but you canât erase it either.â
The Sun and Moon Sword God withdrew his terrifying aura and retained the appearance of an old man.
âSenior, if thatâs the case, what was the Frostless Martial God trying to achieve?â
Qin Nan was utterly confused.
It was his first time meeting the Frostless Martial God.
Why would a Martial God be interested in him all of a sudden?
âMaybe itâs something to do with the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch.
âAround a thousand years ago, when the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarchâs name was made known, the Frostless Martial God went to the Middle Continent in person to invite him to join the South-Heaven Sacred Ground three times, but he rejected them all. There were rumors saying that the Frostless Martial God had fallen in love with him, but we may never know the truth.â
The Sun and Moon Sword God said after a slight ponder.
âFallen in love with the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch?â
Qin Nan was stunned. He never thought the Frostless Martial God would fall in love with the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch.
âForget it then.â
Qin Nan shook his head.
If that were the case, he should leave the red flower aside for now. He would ask the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch when he met him.
âSenior, your bodyâŠâ
Qin Nan was startled when he suddenly realized something.
He could see a force depleting inside the Sun and Moon Sword Godâs body. His silhouette had also turned blurry.\nâThis is only a clone to begin with. The power it has isnât enough. The truth was that I had the chance to kill Martial Monarch Nanjian, but once Iâd done so, the clone would collapse completely.â The Sun and Moon Sword God calmly said to Qin Nan, âI can only help you two more times for the rest of the journey.â
âSenior, you have my thanks.â
Qin Nan brought his fists together sternly.
If it werenât for the Sun and Moon Sword God, he would be in great trouble by now.
âForget that part, be more straightforward. Just hand over some contribution pointsâŠâ
The Sun and Moon Sword God stared into the sky while reaching out his right hand.
âSenior, Iâve run out of contribution points, but I do have some Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits. HereâŠâ
Qin Nan took out the remaining Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits he had without hesitation.
âMm, youâre fairly generous,â The Sun and Moon Sword God wore a smile without taking them. His expression was replaced with a solemn look as he spoke, âWe should leave this place at once and take a different route to the Wretched Disaster Forest. It would be troublesome if the other experts of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground are coming after us.â
âGot it.â
Qin Nan nodded and flew in a different direction with the Sun and Moon Sword God.
The rest of the journey was fairly peaceful.
Three days later, the two finally arrived at one of the Six Great Forbidden Grounds, the Wretched Disaster Forest.\n
