Peerless Battle Spirit

Chapter 1289 - Snow Fate Lake

"Will of destruction!"

Qin Nan turned around. With a thought, streams of will burst out from his body and circled around him like dragons dancing elegantly, crushing the snowflakes dropping from the sky into pieces!

"So this is the difference between achieving the Martial Monarch Realm by oneself and ordinary Martial Monarchs? The will of destruction I unleashed is only equivalent to the third-layer Martial Monarch Realm, yet it was strong enough to shatter his monarch art..." 

Qin Nan's lips curled upward slightly after seeing this.

It was his first time battling a Martial Monarch after achieving the Martial Monarch Realm. He did not use his full strength, as he was only trying out his new powers. The outcome did not let him down.

Achieving the Martial Monarch Realm by oneself totally outmatched the 'fake' Martial Monarch Realm.

"Mm? It's a surprise that your cultivation of merely the first-layer Martial Monarch Realm can unleash such a powerful monarch art! However, if I'm not mistaken, that's probably all your strength, right?"

The figure quickly collected his thoughts after the initial astonishment, who wore a disdainful gaze.

He had assumed that Qin Nan had used all of his power to execute his strongest attack to scare him off.

No matter what, a first-layer Martial Monarch would still be a first-layer Martial Monarch.

"I'll now teach you that even among the Martial Monarchs, there are still differences between everyone's strength. The cold wind of the Heavens and Earth, the sealing frost..."

The figure yelled while performing a hand seal. At that instant, the snowflakes drifting in the wind swiftly gathered and emitted a brilliant glow!

The attack he was executing was stronger than the previous Ice Domain. He had decided to seriously beat Qin Nan up!

"Noisy!"

However, before he could finish his speech and execute the attack, a thunderous roar exploded!

BANG!

A terrifying will burst out from Qin Nan's body, causing the snowflakes to halt in the air, while the woods below began to tremble vigorously!

If he were only a commoner previously, he had now turned into an ancient titan. In fact, he was the God of Battle among ancient titans!

"You...you..."

The figure unconsciously backed off. His eyes were full of terror, who even forgot to finish the hand seal!

As a Martial Monarch, he was not supposed to be intimidated so easily!

However, he never thought a first-layer Martial Monarch whom he had assumed to be prey would unleash such a terrifying aura all of a sudden!

Was this cultivator in fact a fifth-layer Martial Monarch?

Was he seriously challenging a fifth-layer Martial Monarch?

"Run."

The figure did not hesitate. He uttered a roar and performed a different hand seal. Frost emerged from his back rapidly and transformed into a pair of icy wings.

"Running away?"

Qin Nan remained expressionless. He stomped off the ground, unleashing a terrifying saber intent which spread into the surroundings, enclosing the area.

"This..."

The figure shuddered, whose scalp had gone slightly numb. He did not dare to continue with the hand seal, as a great sense of danger arose within his heart. His instincts were strongly telling him that he had no chance of escaping.

"Senior Duan Qing, please, if you are willing to let me go, I'll give all seven Abstruse God Pieces I have to you."

The figure blurted out after he instantly made his decision. 

Even though being murdered in the Abstruse God Space would not necessarily kill him, it would still severely impact his cultivation, since his will would be eliminated. He would need to expend a certain amount of resources and time to recover.

Therefore, it was better to hand over the Abstruse God Pieces.

After all, seven pieces of Abstruse God Pieces were not many.

"Oh? Seven Abstruse God Pieces?"

Qin Nan's eyes flickered as he slowly withdrew the saber intent.

It turned out that robbing someone was the fastest way to accumulate wealth at the beginning.

"Wait, how did you know I'm Duan Qing?"

Qin Nan frowned slightly.

He had kept his identity scroll inside his Sumeru Ring. It was impossible for the man to know the name he had chosen.

"In the Abstruse God Space, one can buy something called the 'Skyeye Liquid' from Old Man Taia. After refining it, one could easily see every cultivator's title."

"Senior Duan Qing, I just robbed a Martial Monarch two days ago, from which I acquired a drop of the Skyeye Liquid. I will give it to you together with the seven Abstruse God Pieces and we'll call it even. How's that?" 

The figure flipped his hand and took out a jade jar and seven Abstruse God Pieces.

Even though he felt heartache for giving them away, for his cultivation's sake, he had no choice but to hand them over.

He was clearly having a bit of bad luck to stumble into a fifth-layer Martial Monarch who was pretending to be weak as bait.

"Mm."

Qin Nan nodded. He waved his hand and claimed the seven Abstruse God Pieces, before refining the Skyeye Liquid in the jade jar on the spot.

Following this, when he glanced ahead, he immediately saw the words 'Ling Yue' floating in front of the figure's chest.

"Cultivator Ling Yue, just a piece of advice, you should stop robbing others." 

Qin Nan withdrew the saber intent and prepared to leave after finishing the sentence.

"Cough cough, Senior Duan Qing, I've got a map here. Are you interested in teaming up with me?"

Ling Yue's eyes flickered, before he spoke after a slight hesitation.

He had been to the place on the map, but he was unable to retrieve the treasure with his current cultivation.

If he managed to get him to help, it would be a lot easier.

That being said, Ling Yue had only invited Qin Nan when he saw that Qin Nan had kept his word.

After all, many Martial Monarchs in the Abstruse God Space would demand more benefits after receiving the Abstruse God Pieces.

"Mm? Team up?"

Qin Nan halted in his track.

"That's right, I'll guide you there now and you'll retrieve the treasure. We'll split it six-four. Of course, to prevent something from going wrong, we'll swear an oath."

Ling Yue said calmly.

"Why are you asking me? Aren't you worried that I would rob you and go to the place myself?"

Qin Nan smilingly said instead of agreeing straight away.

"Even if you were planning to do so, I wouldn't hand the map over. I've already spent thirty Abstruse God Pieces to buy the map, so I would rather sacrifice my cultivation will and recover it later."

Ling Yue looked into Qin Nan's eyes and said sincerely.

"I see. I don't mind, but we'll split seven-three."

Qin Nan spoke with a nod.

He would not mind going to the place since he did not have any goal for the time being.

"Sure."

Ling Yue agreed after a slight ponder.

Following this, the two swore an oath together, before flying into the distance with Ling Yue leading in front.
