Chapter 618: Chapter 692: Heart Demon

Although the Big Formation had become transparent, it was located beneath a hill in the woods, completely shielded from the eyes of outsiders.

After a battle filled with the vigor of spring, Chen Nan sat up contentedly.

Looking at Hua Ruxian, who now had tears streaming on the ground, his heart trembled.

Was this method of revenge too unscrupulous?

He remembered how, when Gongsun Yudie had pursued him and was subdued, he still ultimately spared her. But this time, he did not hesitate in the slightest to do that to Hua Ruxian. Was his heart growing increasingly ruthless?

Could it be that after braving the storms of bloodshed, he had truly become a demon?

Chen Nan felt regret, but just then, a loud voice suddenly echoed in his mind, "What’s there to feel guilty about? She is your enemy, and you must show no mercy to an enemy!"

The voice that suddenly emerged startled Chen Nan, "Who? Who are you?"

The area was as still as a painting.

Chen Nan scanned his surroundings. Besides him and Hua Ruxian, there was not a third person present.

The voice from just now, it truly came from within his own mind!

Chen Nan’s heart was uneasy. How could there be another person speaking in his head?

This was all too eerie.

With furrowed brows, Chen Nan recalled the moment the voice had echoed in his mind. The sensation felt familiar—it was the same as the previous night at the Ling family residence, when he practiced the Heavenly Reversal Demon Technique, and his heart was filled with malice!

Could the shift in his nature, along with the voice, be related to the Heavenly Reversal Demon Technique?

Chen Nan felt a chill running down his spine. No wonder the old man had instructed him not to employ the Heavenly Reversal Demon Technique unless in a life-or-death situation. This Demon Technique was indeed terrifying, capable of influencing one’s spirit.

"Hahaha..."

Another laugh transmitted from his mind, prompting Chen Nan to thump his head several times, yelling, "Are you human or ghost? Come out!"

Silence pervaded his mind, and the voice did not sound again.

Just then, the crowing of the Black Feathered Chicken reached him. Chen Nan covered Hua Ruxian with his clothes and turned away.

"Kid, once you’re done here, get out. What’s with all the yelling and screaming, have you gone mad?"

Chen Nan, his brow wrinkled, recounted the strange occurrence to the Black Feathered Chicken. The revelation shocked the bird so much it frantically flew three zhang away, exclaiming, "You... you actually practiced the Heavenly Reversal Demon Technique? And you even used it?"

Chen Nan nodded and asked, "What about it?"

"Legend has it that the Heavenly Reversal Demon Technique is exceptionally sinister, and when executed, its power is formidable, but it devours the life essence of the user, leaving them a nine-in-ten chance of death. Even if one survives by chance, a Heart Demon will later manifest in their psyche, leading them towards the Demon Path," the Black Feathered Chicken solemnly explained.

Chen Nan had somewhat anticipated this, and queried, "Then what?"

The Black Feathered Chicken stared at him and replied, "As the devilish nature within you grows stronger, the Heart Demon will continue to develop. Eventually, the Heart Demon will completely devour your consciousness, taking over your body and becoming someone else."

"Indeed, quite sinister."

Chen Nan nodded calmly, saying indifferently, "If I can allow the Heart Demon to grow, I can also extinguish it. No one can control the consciousness of Chen Nan!"

After a moment of silence, the Black Feathered Chicken nodded and said, "Let’s hope so."

At this moment, Hua Ruxian on the ground sneered, "Chen Nan, you beast, so you have your day too. This is truly retribution, retribution!"

"Are you saying you didn’t have enough just now and want to go another round?"

Chen Nan had already lifted his spirits; he bent down and stared into Hua Ruxian’s eyes, scaring her into immediate silence.

After dressing Hua Ruxian, Chen Nan picked her up and walked out of the formation, "Since you refuse to defect from Desire Palace, I’ll let you see for yourself how your Sect elders die."

As soon as he stepped out of the Big Formation, Gongsun Yudie hurried to inquire, "Chen Nan, how are you?"

"I’m fine."

Chen Nan gave a faint smile, laid Hua Ruxian on the ground, and with the Demon Sword in hand, approached a middle-aged man from the Taixuan Taoist School, "Old thing, you wanted to kill me, right?"

This man’s power had reached the Sixth Level of Taoist, which was formidable indeed.

Unfortunately, now under the constraint of the formation, his movements were extremely sluggish, posing no threat to Chen Nan, "Humph, what kind of sorcery have you used? Why are our movements restricted?"

"Well then, let you die enlightened. This is the power of the Protecting Valley Formation."

Chen Nan’s tone was eerily calm as he slowly raised the Demon Sword in his hand.

The middle-aged man exclaimed in fear, "How can you control the formation?"

"Go ask King Yama."

A cruel smile flashed across Chen Nan’s face as he brought the Demon Sword down with a "pfft," blood splattered everywhere, and the severed head rolled on the ground, ghastly gruesome.

"Are you scared now?"

Chen Nan turned to the other four middle-aged men from the Taixu Taoist Sect.

Fear was evident on their faces. Their slow movements and the enemy’s Demon Sword could fall on their necks at any moment. Aware that death was imminent, yet not knowing the exact timing, was most terrifying.

"Pfft..."

Blood continued to spray as Chen Nan wielded the Demon Sword three times, beheading three more men.

Each strike was ruthless, sparing no mercy.

Observing the still-rolling heads on the ground, everyone present felt a chilling sensation down their spines. The man before them was like a killing demon, his sword falling without even blinking an eye.

And what was more, this demon of death was their enemy!

"How does that feel?"

Chen Nan set the Demon Sword against the neck of the last cultivator.

This cultivator had been hiding at the back all along; now it was his turn, and he was so frightened that he wet himself, his legs giving way as he knelt on the ground, "Please, spare me, I beg you, I’ll never dare to do it again."

"Okay!"

Chen Nan nodded with a smile, offering him a glimmer of hope.

Just as the cultivator felt relieved, Chen Nan’s Demon Sword suddenly swept across, decapitating him. Blood soared into the air, a grievous spectacle.

To an enemy, he could never be kind-hearted!
