Chapter 67 - Figures in the Woods (1/2)

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.

Even if it was only a grade lower, the actual difference was incredible.

Childe Gloomy Rage had his eyes opened wide, and his breath halted; the execution of his strongest attack came to a stop at this moment.

He was completely shocked.

There was no way he would expect Qin Nan’s Martial Spirit to have achieved the ninth-grade Huang rank!

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

Why is it now ninth-grade Huang ranked?

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

Despite that, what was a valid explanation for the ninth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit before him?

After being exposed to the incredible pressure, he was completely shocked, causing his words to feel like they were being squeezed out of his throat, “How did… Your Martial Spirit grade, How did it turn into ninth-grade Huang ranked…”

“There is always something you can’t know.” Qin Nan calmly said, “Now let me see what tricks you have up in your sleeves; go ahead and show them to us.

After hearing these words, Childe Gloomy Rage felt like his spirit started to shiver; without hesitating, he turned around and executed his Thunder Flashing Steps, fleeing for his life at the fastest speed he has ever managed in his life.

He was entirely frightened and terrified.

If Childe Gloomy Rage was 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; previously it was only eighth-grade Huang ranked, how did it suddenly now become ninth-grade Huang ranked?

Such a shocking and terrifying scene happening before him caused him to lose his mind, and to be filled with endless terror.

Even if he were given ten guts now, he would not dare to be the enemy of 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 Intent revolved around him 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 eighth-layer Body Tempering Realm 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; a sense of regret soon arose in his heart.

I dared to look down on a ninth-grade Huang ranked cultivator?

I dared to treat a ninth-grade Huang ranked super-genius disdainfully?

Such a joke—such recklessness.

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.
