Chapter 559: Chapter 628: Five-layered Taoist!

"Silly girl, I won’t do this again in the future,"

Chen Nan patted Ye Yiyi’s back, smiling as he said, "Alright, take a look at the Jade Pendant and see if you can find any clues related to your origin."

Ye Yiyi stared at him affectionately, "Then you must promise me that you will never do this again, whether in life or death, we shall be together, never parting even if the sky falls down!"

Chen Nan held her tightly, "Of course, we are to stay together like a pair of inseparable birds, so how can we possibly die?"

With tears still on her face, Ye Yiyi revealed a smile that could outshine the moon and flowers, "You said it, we will grow old together, inseparable as a pair."

Looking at her adorable expression, Chen Nan said with a wry smile, "Yes, yes, yes, I said it, I promise you everything. Can you sense anything special about the Phoenix Jade Pendant now?"

Ye Yiyi shook her head, "I just feel this Jade Pendant is very familiar, as if seeing my own relatives. However, as for the mysteries behind it, I am at a loss."

"How could this be? Wasn’t it said that the Jade Pendant is related to your past?"

Chen Nan took the Jade Pendant, examining it closely.

But after a long look, he could not discern any mysteries either, and could only sigh and hand the Jade Pendant back to Ye Yiyi, "Keep the Jade Pendant safe for now. We’ll ask the old man about it when we get back."

"Mmhmm."

"Then let’s head back quickly."

"Okay!"

No sooner had she spoken, than a brash laugh rang out. A figure clad in blood-red rapidly approached, stepping on the branches toward Chen Nan and Ye Yiyi.

The person emitted a robust and fierce Gang Qi, which startled countless birds into flight before the person even arrived.

"You two ignorant juniors, did you think you could escape?"

In the midst of speaking the figure landed in front of Chen Nan, casting a disdainful glance at them, "Hand over the Phoenix Divine Jade immediately, and I might consider letting you off the hook, you’ll only have broken limbs!"

Chen Nan stared at the red-garbed elder, his brows furrowed, on guard.

The energy emanating from the elder was a substantial Gang Qi, a high-level Master Realm practitioner, and the aura of authority in every move and gesture far surpassed the black-clad men they had encountered before.

At the very least, this was a Five-layered Taoist master!

Chen Nan scoffed coldly, standing in front of his junior sister, "Old fool, come on if you want to die, I’ll indulge you today."

His junior sister was right next to him, so it was impossible for him to abandon her and escape on his own.

The red-garbed elder grew furious. A junior with mere Qi Dao Ten Layers actually dared to speak to him with such insolence.

"You who do not know life from death, today I’ll slaughter you both!"

The elder swung his hands, releasing an intense torrent of Gang Qi that howled like thousands of horses galloping, shaking the void, and ferociously striking down at Chen Nan.

"Old nag, die!"

Chen Nan brandished the Demon Sword, his True Qi circulating to the extreme, the mighty Sword Gang shook the heavens as it slashed horizontally at the elder.

"Bang!"

A storm rolled out in all directions, and although Chen Nan had just barely blocked the attack, his insides roiled with blood, his True Qi becoming chaotic.

The red-garbed elder had not expected Chen Nan to be able to shatter his Gang Qi attack.

With a cold snort, he proceeded to step forward to kill again.

His palm raised high, with the swiftness of lightning, he aimed to strike Chen Nan on the head and kill him with a single blow.

Filled with killing aura, Chen Nan met the attack head-on!

"Merely an old dog. So what if you are of the Master Realm, there’s no negotiation today—I’ll kill you!"

The sharp edge of the blade shone with a blinding golden light. Where the blade pointed, the void was cleaved in two, vibrating with a buzzing sound as if the god of slaughter had descended.

"Thunderous roar!"

Blade and palm collided, the blade edge striking the solidified Gang Qi, which set off an earth-shattering noise, reminiscent of the apocalypse, deafening to those nearby.

Chen Nan staggered backward several steps, his figure swaying as a trickle of fresh blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

After all, the enemy was a five-layered Taoist master. Even though the Heavenly Punishment Demon Sword could fend off the Gang Qi of the Master Realm, the backlash was still hard for Chen Nan to bear.

Ye Yiyi hurriedly stepped forward to support him. "Senior Brother, are you alright?"

"It’s just a minor injury, it’s nothing serious," he replied.

Chen Nan wiped the blood from his mouth, and before he could circulate his True Qi, the red-clothed elder attacked again, aiming a palm strike directly at Ye Yiyi.

With all her attention on Chen Nan’s injury, Ye Yiyi was unable at the moment to react in time.

"Be careful!"

Chen Nan was taken aback.

Without time to think further, he pushed his junior sister away and swung the Demon Sword to block the old man’s attack, but the red-clothed elder’s speed was simply too fast. Before he could even lift his sword, the elder’s palm strike was upon them.

"Boy, die!"

Chen Nan had just pushed his junior sister away and hadn’t yet regained his strength, leaving him with no ability to dodge. He could only defend with his Protective True Qi.

"Boom!"

The materialized Gang Qi instantly shattered Chen Nan’s defense, slamming heavily into his chest.

"Puh..."

Chen Nan felt a stifling sensation in his chest as if struck by a heavy hammer. Blood sprayed from his mouth as his body flew backwards.

Fortunately, he practiced the Martial Body Secret Technique and had consumed the Mixed Element Fire Lotus. His martial body was incredibly resilient, far surpassing ordinary martial artists; otherwise, he might not have survived the strike.

Ye Yiyi, reacting, quickly leaped forward to catch Chen Nan.

"Senior Brother, how are you?" Tears welled up in Ye Yiyi’s eyes, filled with self-reproach.

If it weren’t for saving her, how could her senior brother, armed with the Demon Sword, have been injured?

She felt extremely guilty, protecting Chen Nan behind her.

The red-clothed elder had not expected Chen Nan to survive a strike from a five-layered Taoist master.

He sneered continuously, his eyes shining with an unmistakable killing intent, "The two of you, go to Yama Hall and become doomed lovers!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he stomped fiercely, propelling himself rapidly into the air, and made a beeline for Ye Yiyi.

Chen Nan’s eyes widened as he shouted anxiously, "Yiyi, dodge!"

But Ye Yiyi stood in front of him as if she had not heard, her body enveloped in circulating True Qi, her immaculate face showing a determined resolve as she swung the Silver Bell Rope in defense in front of Chen Nan.

"Jingle jingle..."

The red-clothed elder’s Gang Qi struck, instantly shattering Ye Yiyi’s True Qi and flinging the Silver Bell Rope away.

Ye Yiyi twisted her body, narrowly avoiding the enemy’s onslaught. With a graceful sweep of her hand, the Silver Bell Rope, like a vivid White Dragon, curled back agily.

"Ssshh ssshh ssshh..."

The ribbon emitted a sharp whistling sound as it wrapped up the red-clothed elder, binding him as tightly as one wraps up a rice dumpling.

Ye Yiyi was also a martial arts prodigy, but her strength lay not in brute force but in her technique; when it came to understanding and mastering various martial arts skills, she was even superior to Chen Nan.

She managed to trap her opponent, but before she could feel relieved, the elder’s Gang Qi violently erupted, shredding the ribbon into flitting pieces of cloth.

The gap in realm was too great, no martial skill or technique could bridge it!

"Fools, prepare to die!" the red-clothed elder laughed uproariously. His figure swept across the sky like a swan geese, his unstoppable Gang Qi destroying everything in its path as it barreled towards Chen Nan.

Chen Nan was filled with dread.

Now with little True Qi left in his body, he was unable to withstand the elder’s attack. But after a glance at his junior sister, he brandished the Demon Sword once more and desperately flew forward to block the incoming assault, all the while shouting, "Yiyi, go! Don’t worry about me! Run!"
