Chapter 2337: Chapter 2423: Go Ahead Without Worries

The Knife God Li Liushui somehow found out Xuan Tianji had arrived and is coming to fight over the quota for taking Chen Nan as a disciple.

Before, he’d been all fired up about killing Xuan Tianji. Now, judging by his tone, he’s not nearly as aggressive.

Obviously, this old man must’ve seen my strength and decided my "master" isn’t someone to mess with either, so he lowered his target a bit—just needs to beat him, doesn’t have to kill him.

"Usually when the old guy calls me, it’s always ’you little bastard’. But now this ’master’ of mine has not only completely forgotten how I used to address him, even the way he calls me has changed. That’s not Xuan Tianji’s style at all."

Chen Nan thought to himself, "If he really isn’t my master, when the Knife God Li Liushui makes a move, I can take the chance to test him and see some flaws. If he is, then with Master’s cultivation, he should be able to keep the Knife God in check. And even if he’s not a match, I can step in and help when the time comes."

Thinking of this, a sudden ’may-the-whole-world-burn’ kind of thought rose in Chen Nan’s heart.

By now he was actually more than seventy percent sure this ’master’ in front of him was fake. If you say after a period of sleep his cultivation skyrocketed, his aura and essence qi changed, that’s understandable. But if you say even his habits completely changed, that’s not normal.

Take little Heavenly Demon for example—sure, his memory is a bit short-circuited, but the personality in his bones hasn’t changed much at all.

"Senior Knife God, my master is inside. His cultivation reaches Tongtian. I advise you not to come in. If you enter, it’s just a path to Death. Of course, you’d better not let him out either—once he goes out and starts a great killing spree, I’d be completely unable to stop him. You may be powerful, but in front of my master you’re just a pile of dog shit, not even as good as dog shit."

Chen Nan said with a grin, "Oh right, my master said you’re outrageously bold. If you come in on your own right now, kneel and knock three loud heads on the ground, beg for mercy, and while you kowtow you shout, ’Xuan Tianji, you’re my grandpa, I, the Knife God, was wrong’, then maybe my master will spare your Life and Death and let you walk away alive. Worst case, he’ll at least leave your corpse intact."

While Chen Nan was talking, Xuan Tianji was staring at him with a completely baffled look. He wanted to say something, but Chen Nan’s momentum was too strong and his words came too fast; he simply couldn’t cut in.

"Outrageous, outrageous! Chen Nan, even if I owe you, even if you helped me shatter my Heart Demon, your master humiliating me like this—no, that won’t do, that won’t do at all!"

A torrent-like aura suddenly poured into the cave from outside.

Chen Nan’s heart trembled. "The Knife God’s strength has advanced greatly again?"

He was shocked. The Knife God’s strength was already at its peak before; he hadn’t expected that at this moment it had reached such a level. It was truly incredible.

"Li Liushui, you bastard, your strength has actually grown stronger again, how unfortunate. But even if you were born five hundred years earlier, you still wouldn’t be a match for my master Xuan Tianji. In front of him you can only be beaten to your knees, begging for mercy and fleeing with your head in your arms." Chen Nan said arrogantly and domineeringly, and at the same time shot Xuan Tianji a smug look. "Master, don’t you think your disciple’s got it right?"

Xuan Tianji’s expression changed a little. Chen Nan caught it all. Even though it was only a flash, how could it escape his Dharma Eye?

With that, it was basically certain. You should know that Master Xuan Tianji is the sort of man who fears neither Heaven nor Earth. Don’t mention Li Liushui the Knife God—even those Demon Path supremes who are overlords of the Demon Path don’t scare him at all. At a time like this he’d only banter along with Chen Nan, how could he stay silent?

This was clearly abnormal.

"I alone may not be your match, but with the Knife God Li Liushui in berserk mode, plus that Black Supreme and Yang Chenzi outside, how could we still not beat you?"

Chen Nan’s thoughts turned dark, ready to strike a foul blow at any moment.

"No, wait and see first. The Knife God Li Liushui is strong. Instead of all of us charging in, better let him make the first move and test the waters. But I absolutely can’t tell him the truth right now. If he knows this guy isn’t my master, he’ll probably lose all that War Intent immediately."

Chen Nan thought to himself in secret.

"Li Liushui, hurry up and shoulder your kitchen cleaver and roll in here to die!"

Chen Nan shouted toward the outside of the cave.

Yang Chenzi and Black Supreme had no idea what was really going on. They only thought Chen Nan’s master genuinely wanted to teach Li Liushui a lesson, and the two of them were utterly excited. This master of Chen Nan’s keeps a low profile on the surface, but talks so wildly—he must have real capital to back it up.

"Fine, fine, fine! Chen Nan, your master really is insanely arrogant. I, the Knife God, am not someone to be trifled with either. Since you don’t care about the bond we had before, I won’t show mercy either. If you’ve got any guts, you two get your asses out here. I’m going to give that waste-of-a-master of yours a good beating outside!"

Li Liushui stood outside cursing, but refused to come in.

Chen Nan was speechless for a moment. This old guy looked rough but was actually pretty sharp. On normal days he doesn’t show off, but at key moments he’s not stupid at all.

"Master, he called you a waste."

Chen Nan said to Xuan Tianji.

Xuan Tianji’s face went ugly. "Disciple, we still have important business right now. If we just make enemies out of thin air... Originally, with an opponent like that, your master could casually make a move..."

"Then please make a move, Master. Your disciple hasn’t seen you unleash yourself in a long time and really can’t help looking forward to it." Chen Nan chuckled.

Xuan Tianji’s eyes rolled. "Our main task now is to use this ancient teleportation array to enter King City. As for that Knife God, we can deal with him after we’ve achieved our great work; it won’t be too late. According to the latest intel I received, in King City where the Heavenly People Clan reside, a Treasure has appeared in the world. If we go now, we might just obtain it. A chance like this comes once in a thousand years—we can’t miss it."

Though Xuan Tianji said this, Chen Nan was unmoved.

He just let out a sly laugh and in an instant condensed a strand of Divine Power in his hand, slamming it down onto the ancient teleportation array.

This array had only just been barely repaired; being struck by Chen Nan’s attack now, it immediately dimmed and went dark.

It lost all function.

"Master, a Life and Death battle like this is a heaven-sent boon for you with your cultivation just having skyrocketed. As the saying goes: no rain, no rainbow; plum blossoms’ fragrance comes from bitter cold. Master, this sort of once-in-a-millennium opportunity is seen only once in ten thousand ages. You should make a move. If you really aren’t the Knife God’s match, your disciple definitely won’t just sit by and watch."

Chen Nan said with a carefree smile.

Xuan Tianji’s heart ached as he watched him destroy the ancient teleportation array, but he was helpless. Hearing Chen Nan say this, at last a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Disciple, your master’s cultivation has only just recovered. It’s quite possible I’m still not a match for that damn Knife God. If I get injured, you’ll definitely help me, won’t you?"

He looked at Chen Nan. Chen Nan nodded. "Of course I will. Rest assured, Master."
