Chapter 2321: Killing the Assaulter

"Mm? Did I...go back to the ancient era?" Qin Nan's will gradually woke up from a chaotic state.

He instantly felt his will occupying an unfamiliar body.

The body had sustained serious injuries. Its life force was depleting.

BANG!

A shocking explosion occurred in his Divine Sense as countless scenes flashed across his mind like a rapid tide.

"It...worked!"

Qin Nan was overjoyed.

The owner of the body was called Lin Xiaozhi. He was an inner disciple of the Curved Swords, a Heaven Daoism faction in the Fifth Small Immortal Realm. He had achieved the Master Realm ten years ago.

Judging from his memories, it was currently the two-thousandth year of the Sacred Heaven Calendar!

Cang, Zhou Di, Huangfu Jue, and Ye Zhaoxian had only achieved the Ruler Realm less than four years ago.

It was exactly the period Xiang Yuan, Xiang Hesheng, and the others had dreamed of!

"Tsk tsk, what a surprise, you have mastered such an extraordinary ability to let yourself lose your life force temporarily and fake your death! You would have tricked us if we left earlier," a cold voice said.

The middle-aged man and the woman unleashed a tremendous aura. The whole valley shook vigorously.

"Murderous intent?"

Qin Nan realized there were other people nearby.

He swiftly calmed his thoughts and looked ahead of him. His body shuddered when he saw the two people in front of him. Memory fragments and a fit of shocking anger surged into his mind.

Qin Nan's eyes instantly turned cold.

Lin Xiaozhi was one of the brightest talents among the inner disciples of the Curved Swords. He had coincidentally obtained a succession left by a Heaven Highness in a forbidden ground recently.

He had a chance to master his own extraordinary path of cultivation and achieve the Ruler Realm earlier to become a core disciple of the Curved Swords with a bright future ahead.

To his surprise, his beloved woman, Zhang Yu'er who was also an inner disciple of the Curved Swords betrayed him and hooked up with Huangpu Shaoqi, a core disciple of the Curved Swords.

Lin Xiaozhi was overwhelmed by sorrow, but he was surprised that Zhang Yu'er sent him a message and told him to meet her in the Great Rift Valley.

The Great Rift Valley was where they two first met.

Lin Xiaozhi thought he still had a chance to convince the woman to come back to him. Little did he know, it was a trap to take his life!

Zhang Yu'er and Huangpu Shaoqi had hired two assassins of an organization called the Dark Quicksand, who were the two people standing right in front of him.

They were after the succession of the Heaven Highness!

"A sincere man with such a pitiful ending. I feel sorry for you, but since I've occupied your body, I shall help you put an end to it on your behalf," Qin Nan murmured.

"What is he saying?"

The middle-aged man said disdainfully, "Did he lose his mind?"

The alluring woman said, "Senior Brother, let's not waste our time on him. Hurry up and end his life. You should behead him so he won't trick us again."

"Sure, my Junior Sister!"

The middle-aged man and the woman turned into two shadows and lunged at Qin Nan.

They unleashed two Master Arts simultaneously with tremendous power.

Assassins like them would usually strike from the dark to assassinate their targets. It was risky to face their targets head-on.

However, Lin Xiaozhi was an exception.

The reason was that they were aware of the weaknesses of Lin Xiaozhi's cultivation and Master Arts!

Otherwise, they would not have killed Lin Xiaozhi the first time so easily.

Qin Nan remained calm. He dashed forward instead of backing away. He threw a punch at the two assassins while unleashing the Master Force in his body...

"Impenetrable Sacred..."

Qin Nan's lips twisted as he suddenly realized something right before the clash.

He had forgotten something important. He had gone back to the ancient era with his will. His flesh was still in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm!

He did not have the Impenetrable Sacred Flesh, Art of the Immortal Demon, Dao Pattern, and Heaven-Shattering Saber with him.

"Art of Taiyan!"

However, Qin Nan was a Ruler of Dao who had fought countless battles. He swiftly reacted by performing a hand seal.

BANG!

A huge blast took place. Strong winds surged across the place.

Qin Nan felt like his chest was struck by a huge hammer. The aura in his body surged fiercely as he was knocked back by the impact. He had to move a few hundred steps back.

The flesh was already severely injured. It had recovered slightly after Qin Nan took control of it, but it was on the verge of dying again.

"HAHA, he dares to fight us still!?" the middle-aged man laughed disdainfully.

The guy had clearly lost his mind.

"Die!"

The middle-aged man and the woman executed ancient Master Arts, filling the valley with ghastly cries of demons.

Lin Xiaozhi's weakness was any kind of demon arts.

"I'm still...not used to it," Qin Nan murmured and grabbed forward with his right hand.

An illusionary saber took shape.

He completely unleashed his will in the form of a brilliant ray, suppressing the demons that were targeting him.

Even though he no longer had the Impenetrable Sacred Flesh and other things he heavily relied on, his will was unusually strong.

It was enough to take out the two enemies.

"Is that...the Power of Will?"

The middle-aged man and the woman were startled. They blurted out, "Impossible! Why would you possess such a strong will? You..."

Before they could finish the sentence, a cold voice uttered.

"Heart-Slaying Slash!"

Whoosh!

The valley was dyed red like blood.

The middle-aged man and the woman sensed great danger. They immediately used their trump cards without any hesitation.

However, it was too late!

The overwhelming saber intent devoured them like an ancient dragon.

Cries of agony took place following it.
