Chapter 158 - Treasure Hunt

Xiang Tian, ​​wielding his divine halberd, struggled to his feet. He was practically covered in blood, every inch of his skin seeping through. Coupled with his long, blood-red hair, he truly resembled a blood-red demon. However, his eyes still shone with a fierce light as he coldly stared at Meng Ke'er in the distance, pressing forward with his divine halberd!

At this moment, Meng Ke'er's white clothes were almost stained red. His injuries were not much lighter than those of the Mischievous Little Demon King, and blood was already seeping from his skin!

At this moment, he hesitated. He knew that the Little Demon King was just as exhausted as he was. If he risked breaking all the seals now, he might be able to completely eliminate the great threat!

But the risk was too great. What if there were other people nearby? If he eliminated Xiang Tian and then showed signs of weakness, he would be in danger! The lesson he learned from fighting Chen Nan was still fresh in his mind, making it difficult for him to make a decision easily!

Finally, a cold glint flashed in Meng Ke'er's eyes. He simply couldn't let go of this tempting opportunity! The Mischievous Little Demon King was too powerful. If it weren't for the magic arrows assisting his attack today, he would have been in real danger. This was a rare opportunity, and he couldn't let this formidable enemy leave these mountains!

"boom"

With a loud bang, the trees within a five-zhang radius around Meng Ke'er shattered, and the snow on the ground was thrown into the air. He finally broke the seal, and nine jade lotus petals shone with thousands of rays of light and auspicious colors, swirling around him. Countless tiny petals also floated around him in the air!

The jade lotus platform radiated brilliant light, carrying Meng Ke'er as it slowly floated up. Then, suddenly, it hurtled towards the Little Demon King with lightning speed. An immense and unparalleled power surged in the air, causing the entire space to tremble violently. Countless trees collapsed under the force of this tidal wave!

The Little Demon King exerted all his strength to send his power to the Divine Demon Wings again, then took off and turned to escape. However, Meng Ke'er's cultivation was too terrifying at this moment. Like a flash of light, she overtook Xiang Tian in a whoosh and blocked his way in the air!

The two stared at each other coldly in the air. The Little Demon King's face turned pale. He never expected that he would perish in the wilderness in his first battle after being born. He was filled with a mix of emotions, including shame, fear, and anger.

Just then, Meng Ke'er sensed something and shouted into the sky, "Who's there?"

"Woo... You scared me to death, you little wench! What are you yelling about? I'm your Dragon Grandpa! Don't you recognize me after just a few days apart?" The Purple-Gold Divine Dragon replied, forcing a smile, high in the sky!

"Rogue Dragon!" Meng Ke'er exclaimed in surprise, then gritted her teeth and scanned the mountains below. Since the rogue dragon had already appeared, there was no doubt that Chen Nan was not far away!

Meng Ke'er finally discovered Chen Nan's whereabouts and also sensed that there was a master with him. A chill ran down her spine as she seemed to imagine some terrible consequences. She stared coldly at the Little Demon King, trying to find something on his face!

But at this moment, Xiang Tian's face was covered in blood, his eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he did not show any special expression!

Chen Nan knew he could no longer hide it. He beckoned to the Purple-Gold Divine Dragon and said, "Mudfish, carry me up."

The Purple-Gold Divine Dragon was already a seasoned veteran. With a quick glance, he understood Chen Nan's meaning. Now that Meng Ke'er had broken the seal, she posed a significant threat to the others present. Their only option now was to play along!

The rogue dragon shook its body, and a cloud of purple energy rose from its back. In the end, the cloud of purple energy transformed into a purple radiance, and it looked as if a glittering jade cushion had appeared on the dragon's back!

Chen Nan, spear in hand, leaped onto the air. As he ascended, not far from Meng Ke'er, he said to the Mischievous Little Demon King, "Hmm, I've come at just the right time. The others will be here soon..."

Upon hearing this, Meng Ke'er's face changed drastically. Ever since the appearance of the rogue dragon, she had suspected that the mischievous little devil and Chen Nan might have joined forces, and that they might be planning to deal with her tonight. Worst of all, perhaps there were others involved...

He forcibly broke the seal, and the side effects would soon appear. He wouldn't forget the lesson learned the hard way. A cold glint flashed in Meng Ke'er's eyes, and then she suddenly soared into the air, flying towards the Chu capital with lightning speed! He needed to reach the Chu royal palace as quickly as possible to suppress the backlash of the seal's power!

The mischievous little devil looked at Chen Nan riding on the purple-gold dragon with surprise, then looked at Meng Ke'er's back with a thoughtful expression!

Chen Nan laughed and said, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Let's go downstairs and talk."

The Mischievous Little Demon King didn't answer, but spread his divine and demonic wings and descended downwards!

Under Chen Nan's instructions, Long Wu had remained hidden in the shadows, not revealing herself. Now that the Little Demon King of Chaos had descended, he used a special technique to conceal his aura, completely blending into the night!

After landing, Chen Nan clasped his hands and said, "My name is Chen Nan. May I ask your honorable name, brother?"

"Xiang Tian of the Chaotic Heaven Path!!" the Chaotic Little Demon King said, narrowing his eyes, "Thank you for your help, Brother Chen. May I ask if you are Chen Nan, the extraordinary protector of the Chu Kingdom?"

"Yes, it's me."

"Chen Nan, go to hell!" The Little Demon King of Chaos suddenly opened his narrowed eyes, unleashing two fierce beams of light. He swung his halberd down at Chen Nan, the dazzling light illuminating a three-zhang radius as if it were daytime. The terrifying shockwave caused several century-old trees nearby to explode!

Seeing the dazzling, divine light of the halberd approaching, Chen Nan remained calm, seemingly having anticipated Xiang Tian's attack. He roared, "I knew you were an ingrate! I was prepared for you!" His spear unleashed thousands of rays of light, piercing through the aura emanating from the divine halberd like a dragon, sweeping diagonally towards the halberd's iron shaft!

A thunderous roar erupted, and endless, dazzling light ravaged the area within several meters! Chen Nan staggered back three large steps, while the Mischievous Little Demon King retreated five steps, his face flushed, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth!

Xiang Tian's true cultivation level should have been above Chen Nan's, but he had just finished a fierce battle with Meng Ke'er and was currently seriously injured. Therefore, he was injured in this attack and was at a disadvantage!

The Demon King's blood-red hair moved without wind, and two fierce beams of light shot from his eyes. He said coldly, "A friend once entrusted me with the task of killing you if I saw you!"

Chen Nan frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Could it be a descendant of the Ling family from the Dao of Annihilation?"

"Heh, so you really know the cause and effect. I don't need to say anything more, do I? Hmph, although I'm seriously injured today, it's enough to kill you!" The Little Demon King's voice was icy cold, his face contorted with malice!

Chen Nan sighed inwardly. This guy was truly a madman. Despite being severely injured, he still dared to threaten to kill him. He was incredibly arrogant. A smile gradually appeared on his face as he said, "So, today I can openly possess your halberd. Wahahaha..."

The Little Demon King was stunned for a moment, then roared in fury, "You brat, you're about to die, and you're still daydreaming! Kill him!" His joints crackled and popped, and he seemed to grow taller all of a sudden. His mental state seemed to have recovered by more than half. He gripped the divine halberd with both hands and slashed at Chen Nan, the divine light illuminating the snow!

Chen Nan gripped his spear, his feet moving with the Divine Void Step, leaving a trail of afterimages in his wake. He swept across the area from the side with the force of a thousand armies, slashing diagonally towards the waist and abdomen of the Chaotic Little Demon King. Thousands of golden rays emitted bursts of strange howls!

Ignoring his injuries, Xiang Tian engaged Chen Nan in fierce combat. On the snow-covered ground, the divine halberd and spearhead unleashed countless dazzling rays of light, illuminating the entire mountain area!

The Mischievous Little Demon King truly lives up to his reputation as one of the most outstanding young masters of our time. Despite being severely injured, his terrifying cultivation level remains incredibly powerful after forcibly unleashing his potential!

However, in the midst of their fierce exchange, Xiang Tian suddenly bled from his mouth and nose. He shouted, "You are even more despicable than me, you actually used poison!" He quickly retreated dozens of steps, his body swaying, as if he might collapse at any moment!

Chen Nan was taken aback, but in an instant he understood that it must have been Long Wu who made the move!

Just then, a graceful figure burst forth from the thick snow, and a sharp sword light swiftly pierced towards the back of the Mischievous Little Demon King!

With a "whoosh," a flash of blood appeared. Despite Xiang Tian's lightning-fast reaction, his back was still pierced by the sword's edge, and blood flowed incessantly!

"So it was you who poisoned me, ugh..." The Mischievous Little Demon King roared to the sky, his long, blood-red hair whipping wildly. Like a madman, he charged towards Long Wu, wielding his halberd!

However, his steps became noticeably unsteady, his body swayed, and he even seemed unable to hold onto the divine halberd in his hand. Chen Nan used the Divine Void Step, rushing behind him like a streak of light, and thrust his spear forward fiercely. The spearhead pierced straight into Xiang Tian's left rib. Then, with a little effort, Chen Nan lifted the Hun Tian Little Demon King up!

With a loud bang, the halberd fell to the ground, and blood gushed out from Xiang Tian's ribs, flowing down the spear and staining most of Chen Nan's body red!

"You want to kill me for that bastard surnamed Ling from the Path of Destruction? Then you can die!" Chen Nan's voice was icy cold. He forcefully flicked his spear upwards, sending Xiang Tian flying into the sky, and then thrust it forward again with great force. The spearhead pierced the right rib of the Chaotic Little Demon King, and blood gushed down like a fountain!

Xiang Tian was covered in cold sweat, but he didn't utter a sound. His eyes were filled with resentment and venom. Long Wu seemed to feel sorry for him and stepped aside, no longer looking at them.

"The Path of Destruction is always getting entangled with me, and you actually stood up for them? You might as well die!" Chen Nan's words were icy cold. He suddenly exerted his strength, and a surging power flowed along the spear into the body of the Chaotic Little Demon King!

At this critical moment, Xiang Tian bit his tongue hard, unleashing his body's potential and activating the supreme technique of the Chaotic Heaven Path, slashing backward with his right hand!

With a clang, at the last critical moment, the Little Demon King of Chaos severed the spear, then suddenly soared into the sky, unfurled his divine and demonic wings, and flew swiftly into the distance!

"Chen Nan, our hatred is irreconcilable! The day I recover from my injuries will be the day you die!" These chilling words echoed far and wide, until Xiang Tian's figure vanished completely into the night!

Long Wu walked up to Chen Nan and said, "You were terrifying just now. You were so cruel, it was like you were possessed by a demon!"

Chen Nan stared blankly for a while before sighing, "Because he said he was standing up for the successor of the Path of Destruction, I lost control of my emotions. The Path of Destruction made me lose the woman I loved most, and it also caused my death once. That sect is entangled with me in a complicated way. Just now, when I heard his words, yesterday's events seemed to replay before my eyes..."

Upon hearing this, Long Wu seemed to be reminded of his past sorrows, and he let out a soft sigh.

Chen Nan immediately realized what was happening and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Sister Wu, what's the deal with the poison you just used? Why didn't I feel anything? I didn't expect you to be such a master of poison!"

Long Wu scoffed at him, saying, "Don't be so sentimental. These are just little self-defense gadgets. If he hadn't been seriously injured, they wouldn't have been effective at all! As for you, you already smelled the antidote before."

Chen Nan shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity that this guy is too powerful. He managed to escape even with such serious injuries!"

Long Wu frowned and said, "I didn't expect this guy to escape. With his terrifying cultivation, if he were to retaliate in the future, it would be really hard to guard against! Moreover, he is actually a successor of the Chaotic Heaven Path. This grudge is too deep!"

Chen Nan picked up the halberd from the snow and immediately felt a connection to his flesh as he held it. He chuckled coldly, "Indeed, it's a top-tier divine weapon. With such a treasure in hand, what do I have to fear?"

The divine halberd was exceptionally heavy and imposing, with a radiant light flowing across it. With the slightest exertion of force, it would unleash a dazzling sharpness several meters long!

Long Wu said, "This is the treasure of the Hun Tian Dao sect. Do you intend to keep it for yourself? I advise you to discard it as soon as possible, otherwise how can you fight against an evil holy land by yourself!"

"Since the feud has already been established, I'm determined to take their treasures! Hmm, speaking of which, that guy's jade divine wings are also a rare treasure. I have a feeling he came here specifically to give me equipment. I'll definitely take them next time!"

Longwu felt both amused and annoyed!

Chen Nan exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Where did the loach go?"

Long Wu thought for a moment and said, "It seems... they followed the Little Demon King Huntian!"

"Ah, haha... what a fine mudskipper! You're truly a great asset to me!" Chen
