Chapter 2373 - 2459: The Price for Insulting My Woman

Chapter 2373: Chapter 2459: The Price for Insulting My Woman

Seeing those people outside, many of whom were troubled by the venom, everyone inside the Five Poison Array breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the four poisonous creatures within the Five Poison Array let out piercing cries one after another.

"Not good, the four poisonous creatures were just attacked by the terrifying power of this Guardian Array and have already been injured. I’m afraid we won’t hold out much longer."

Poison Queen Zhu Ruoyan listened to the sounds and quickly determined that there was a problem with the four poisonous creatures.

They are the most crucial existence within the Five Poison Array and were the first to bear the brunt when attacked.

Zhao Han’s Tao Yan Qiankun is formidable, but it cannot protect the entire Five Poison Array.

Just now, they were more severely injured than Chen Nan and the others.

If it weren’t for the Formation’s protection, they would have long turned to ash.

"No wonder I just felt the Blood Jade Spider wanted to leave the Five Poison Array, damn it..."

After speaking, she and Chen Nan frantically urged a venom attack.

Unfortunately, in just a short time, the venom condensed inside the Five Poison Array was almost exhausted, and the newly condensed venom wasn’t as potent as before and couldn’t harm the strong ones outside.

"Qingqing, your Blood Jade Spider hasn’t undergone a Divine Soul Imprint. Although its power can be stronger, if it comes down to life and death, it might be beyond your control."

Poison Queen Zhu Ruoyan sighed; with the Guardian Array’s attacks continuing, the Five Poison Array definitely couldn’t hold.

"Brother Shui, I didn’t expect I could still be with you before little Yan’s death. It’s just a pity that it’s with this ghostly appearance, venturing with you to the Netherworld. I wonder if below, you will be frightened."

Zhu Ruoyan lay in Li Liushui’s embrace, tears shimmering in her eyes.

"Little Yan, don’t worry, Brother Chen’s qi fortune is strong, rare in this world. Those outside with their little shakings can’t possibly kill him; I’m eighty percent sure of that."

Li Liushui smiled comfortingly. He knew the Poison Queen wasn’t afraid of death himself, but having just reunited with Zhu Ruoyan, he wanted to linger in this time for hundreds or thousands of years longer.

Chen Nan, Ye Yiyi, and Su Qingqing watched this scene feeling bittersweet and somewhat uncomfortable.

Such a love that hasn’t soured for millennia; if these two ended up with scattered souls now, it would be quite a pity.

Outside the Five Poison Array, the Eight Great Strongmen of the Bright Temple noticed that Chen Nan’s venom attack was growing weaker, waiting a while, it even stopped completely.

Each of their faces showed a smug expression.

"Chen Nan is finished; the venom in the Five Poison Array has almost been exhausted by them. Now the Poison Array is on the verge of being destroyed by our attacks, and he can’t hold on. Let’s put in a little more effort and break the Five Poison Array to seize the Tongling Kui Niu Treasure Map."

The people of the Bright Temple were full of excitement. In the void, those two streaks of flowing light continued, and who knew when such powerful beings would conclude their battle?

However, as long as they could obtain the Kui Niu Spirit Treasure Map, what did it matter who won between the two great powers?

Best if they continue fighting forever; then their eight people could fully receive ten million merit points from the Spirit Treasure Map. This kind of good thing is simply a win-win situation.

When the Bright Temple’s Eight Great Strongmen spoke, the other strong ones responded swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, they continued to activate the Guardian Array of Wangtian City.

"Old Zhao, be careful. If you can’t hold it, immediately disperse the Tao Yan Qiankun."

Seeing another wave of terrifying attacks arriving, Chen Nan hurriedly reminded Zhao Han.

"Hehe, don’t worry, I won’t die that easily."

Zhao Han laughed.

In the next moment, he fully activated the Tao Yan Qiankun. Chen Nan and the others also began to infuse divine power into the Five Poison Array, forcing it to withstand the attacks to keep the Formation from being breached.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Several divine thunders descended continuously from the void above.

The entire city of Wangtian resonated with countless forces.

"Thunk..."

Unable to support himself, Chen Nan fell to his knees. Bearing the brunt of this terrifying power, his entire organs were already injured.

The poisonous mist within the Five Poison Array also dispersed gradually, making the whole Great Formation seem like a small boat in a stormy sea, at risk of capsizing at any moment.

Seeing the scene inside, the strong ones outside felt even more smug.

"Chen Nan, you’re already gravely wounded; this is the consequence of opposing the Bright Temple. If you willingly hand over the Tongling Kui Niu Treasure Map, we can leave you, your woman, and your companions with whole bodies; otherwise..."

The leader of the Bright Temple’s eyes fell on Su Qingqing and Ye Yiyi, licking his lips.

"Otherwise, what?"

Chen Nan asked.

"Otherwise, I will take your woman..."

While relishing his advantaged position, a sudden sense of foreboding arose in his heart.

He watched a blood-colored flying sword emerge from the Five Poison Array, heading straight for his chest.

His face changed dramatically as he hurriedly tried to dodge the blood-colored flying sword.

But, being overly complacent, his speed was a step behind.

"Ah..."

The Bright Temple’s strongman screamed. The blood-colored flying sword deviated slightly, piercing his left rib and getting stuck in the middle of the rib.

Being a Middle Heavenly Rank strongman, he was sent flying several hundred feet, smashing through countless buildings before coming to a stop.

He was in a terrible state, having suffered severe injuries.

"Insulting my woman, even just with words, comes at a price. If you dare, go ahead and try."

Chen Nan responded coldly.

The Bright Temple’s strongman was about to speak when...

The blood-colored Evil Sword in his chest suddenly exploded, blowing a massive hole through his body.

His organs spilled out, a gruesome sight.

"It’s a pity it didn’t hit your heart; otherwise, you’d be dead already."

Chen Nan shook his head.

"Damn it, just how many treasures does Chen Nan possess?"

The seven remaining Bright Temple members quickly protected their injured companion, their eyes filled with disbelief and fury.

"Kill... kill Chen Nan, make his soul scatter... never to reincarnate!"

The heavily injured Bright Temple strongman, his eyes filled with venom, cursed. Chen Nan’s sneak attack caused his cultivation to regress by at least a thousand years.

Once more, the Guardian Array was activated, this time making Chen Nan and the others inside the Five Poison Array spew blood from their mouths, their injuries too severe.

The damage to their bodies was complicated to repair, even with the potent vitality of the Creation Jade Disc.

Zhao Han’s face was pale as the Five Poison Array teetered on the brink of collapse.

"The Five Poison Array is on its last legs. I’ll go in now, kill Chen Nan, and help the Bright Temple seize the Kui Niu Spirit Treasure Map."

The Shadow Pavilion Master bore an immense grudge against Chen Nan, fearful that he’d speak up for mercy or propose something in exchange, leading the Bright Temple members to relent. He moved swiftly towards the Five Poison Array to kill Chen Nan instantly, denying him even a sliver of a chance at survival.

The Shadow Pavilion Master was renowned as the assassin king of Wangtian City, his movements elusive and incredibly fast, reaching the Five Poison Array almost instantly, a cold smile on his lips as he prepared to enter.

Just then, a strange noise from the distant void drew his attention upward.

A giant golden toad, with wings on its back, flew in from afar. The golden toad shone like jade, and a refined-looking middle-aged man stood upon it, with a hint of malevolence in his expression.

"Croak..." the golden toad called out in the void.
