Peerless Battle Spirit

“Interesting.”

Qin Nan showed no sign of fear as his lips curled upward.

He did not expect himself to be everyone’s target when the first round had just started.

He immediately scanned his surroundings with his left eye and saw people coming from all directions, but the south had the least number of opponents, who possessed the weakest cultivations in comparison too. Qin Nan immediately dashed toward the south with a kick.

After all, there were four hundred and twenty-one cultivators in this space. If Qin Nan stayed where he was and let the others group up, even he would have trouble going against them all at once. Most importantly, there was no information about their rankings or cultivations.

“Qin Nan? It’s you!”

There were five cultivators flying toward him from the south, three men and two women. Apart from a masked woman who possessed a cultivation of the eighth-layer Martial Progenitor Realm, the remaining four were seventh-layer martial Progenitors. Their rankings were estimated to be four hundred to six hundred.

“He has lost his cultivation. Let’s defeat him together!”

The masked woman immediately came to a decision and transmitted her voice to the other four cultivators, who hesitated for a brief moment before nodding their heads. It was the most efficient for them to work together and defeat Qin Nan.

However, Qin Nan attacked straight away as he summoned an illusionary giant mountain with the flip of his hand, crashing down onto the five cultivators.

“Crap!”

The five were astounded, who swiftly took out their defensive artifacts.

BANG!

A great explosion took place!

The five cultivators staggered for a moment as they were almost knocked flying by the impact.

“This...”

The five cultivators were astounded. Qin Nan was able to easily knock them aside with a single attack. He didn’t lose his cultivation at all!

Qin Nan glimpsed at them before he sensed the approaching auras from behind. He had no intention to stay and fight, thus he immediately executed the Unstoppable Step with a kick.

“Mm?”

In the midst of his flight, Qin Nan discovered that the dragon-shaped golden lock in his hand was emitting a faint glow and a dragon aura, which served as the light in the midst of darkness, clearly visible within a thousand li.

“It seems like my plan of letting Skeleton Xiao Hong, the two hounds, and one mouse escape with the lock won’t work. There are only two options left, the first is to find a concealed area and hide, while the second is to abuse the advantage of my left eye and avoid encountering the other cultivators and try to hold on for five hours...”

Qin Nan analyzed the situation and made up his mind. He immediately summoned the two hounds, one mouse, and Skeleton Xiao Hong out from the ring.

“Bark bark! Young Master, where are we? Are we in the Monarch Horoscope Contest?” The two hounds were incredibly excited, as they did not expect they would be able to enter with Qin Nan too.

“Save your excitement for later. We’re being surrounded. Xiao Hong, bring them and this badge with you and find a hidden spot. Contact me once you’ve found it.” Qin Nan blurted out and handed her a badge.

“Alright!”

Skeleton Xiao Hong reacted straight away and headed in another direction. The two hounds were about to ask something when they sensed the approaching auras from all directions, causing their hair to stand on end.

After all, it would not be difficult for the two hounds and the Heavenly Fortune Mouse to find a well-hidden spot.

Whoosh!

A rapid piercing sound could be heard all of a sudden as a giant crimson arrow was approaching Qin Nan rapidly followed by circles of red storms.

The arrow was enough to kill an eighth-layer Martial Progenitor Realm expert.

“Destruction Domain!”

A black glow spread into the surroundings from Qin Nan’s figure.

The giant arrow vanished as it entered the domain.

Furthermore, the rift above Qin Nan began to crack open, as an icy dagger was fired from it. However, it was also destroyed as it made contact with the Destruction Domain.

The giant arrow was only a disguise, as the short dagger was the actual attack.

However, Qin Nan had long noticed the dagger with his left eye of the Divine God of Battle.

“Not bad.”

Qin Nan mumbled as his left eye emitted a brilliant purple glow. He immediately saw three figures, two men and one woman flying toward him.

The two men were ninth-layer Martial Progenitors.

Although the woman’s cultivation was only at the eighth-layer Martial Progenitor Realm, her aura was slightly strange.

“Qin Nan, it’s a surprise that you didn’t lose your cultivation, but you won’t have a chance against us three. Hand over the dragon-shaped golden lock. The Shadow Pagoda will owe you a favor, and we won’t kill you either.” The woman said. Her voice was utterly clear despite the distance between them.

“The Young Mistress of the Shadow Pagoda, the Monarch Daughter, Miao Shan?”

Qin Nan immediately recognized her. He was aware of her existence, who was ranked seventy-second on the Monarch Ranking.

“I don’t really care if your Shadow Pagoda owes me a favor or not.”

Qin Nan let out a calm smile, as his figure surprisingly charged toward the trio.

The three were slightly startled. They could even handle a genius ranked in the top forty on the Monarch Ranking by working together. Why would Qin Nan dare to fight them when he was currently being surrounded by enemies?

“Slash!”

Qin Nan leapt into the air and slashed downward with his right arm.

The trio and the geniuses on their way saw a brilliant glow in the sky. Following it, a powerful saber intent swept forward like a crescent.

“This isn’t good!”

The trio was startled as they immediately executed their attacks.

The power of the slash had entirely exceeded their imagination.

“Sky-Desolating...”

A stream of desolation aura was unleashed from Qin Nan’s figure.

However, as Qin Nan was still unleashing his attack, he raised his head and saw cracks appearing in the rift, before it was shattered by several flames that tore at Qin Nan like fiery serpents.

“Mm?”

Qin Nan unleashed the Destruction Domain as he glanced forward. He could see a red-headed young man charging in his direction. His cultivation had reached the tenth-layer Martial Progenitor Realm.

Qin Nan did recognize him, but he could not recall his actual information. He only remembered him to be ranked in the top sixty on the Monarch Ranking.

Meanwhile, countless powerful auras had arrived from all directions.

It seemed like the geniuses being placed in this space had finally caught up to him.

Qin Nan instantly turned around and flew into the distance.

After all, his goal was to hold onto the golden lock for five hours. It would be a disaster for him if he were to waste too much of his energy when the round had only begun.

“Trying to leave?”

The eyes of the red-headed young man, Miao Shan’s trio, and the surrounding cultivators widened as they prepared their attacks.

At that instant, Qin Nan’s badge suddenly let out a glow.

It was a message from Skeleton Xiao Hong and the others!
