Chapter 1359 - Alive

"Qin Nan.."

Tang Qingshan's black saber shuddered. His murderous aura became chaotic.

At that instant, all the sound in his ears completely disappeared, as if the entire Land of White Bones had fallen deathly quiet.

Qin Nan, the only person close to him alive from the Canglan Continent.

And now, he had watched him die in front of him.

"Is he dead?"

Meng Langxie was overjoyed.

"Doing something like that for your brother, Qin Nan, I thought you’d be better than that, worthy to become my battle slave, yet it seems like you're still too naive."

Wan Fenghun's eyes flickered with disdain.

As the Young Master of the Dead Spirit Tribe, he had witnessed many conspiracies, even those between families, siblings, partners, etc.

In this world, relationships were too fragile; only profits would last forever.

"Qin Nan, you think everything is over after you die?

"I'll use the secret art of the Blood Tribe to draw your blood out and refine a wisp of your fragmented soul from your lingering cultivation will. I'll continue to torture you, such that it'd be better for you to die than stay alive!

"And your flesh, I'll turn it into a blood puppet and make it my slave!"

Blood Rune uttered a hollow laugh and performed a hand seal.

Qin Nan had provoked him many times, so there was no way he would let him go so easily.

"Torture my fragmented soul? Turn me into a blood puppet? I'm sorry, but it won't happen today!"

However, a loud voice could be heard all of a sudden.

At the center of the collision, a blossoming life force suddenly erupted. Qin Nan's figure turned into a light beam and disappeared into the gap ahead before anyone could react.

A terrifying glow burst out from the gap, as the ancient formations inside it were activated, shaking the ground vigorously.

It turned out that Qin Nan had been planning to use his flesh to resist the six Monarch Arts.

His flesh was comparable to the fourth-layer Martial Monarch Realm. It would not be destroyed by the six Monarch Arts, yet it would completely lose its life force.

Normally, the depletion of life force would signal the death of a cultivator.

Therefore, right before the life force was lost completely, he activated the pendant that Princess Miao Miao had given him.

According to Qin Nan's speculations, the abundant supply of life force in the pendant should be enough to awaken the life force in his flesh. He would then use the stalemate earned to make his way into the gap and rely on the strong ancient formations inside to hold off the hunt.

That being said, the plan was incredibly risky. If his flesh somehow crumbled from the attack, or the life force was unable to awaken his flesh, his existence would simply be erased.

"This.."

Meng Langxie, Wan Fenghun, Blood Rune, and the other Martial Monarchs were stunned. Their eyes were filled with disbelief.

What just happened?

How did Qin Nan come back to life when his life force had depleted?

“That kid.."

Tang Qingshan quickly collected his thoughts. The saber in his hand stopped trembling and his murderous aura was no longer in chaos. Even though he had hidden it well, if one were to look closely, they would see a grin on his face.

Although the plan had been utterly reckless and the tables had been turned in such a shocking manner, all Tang Qingshan asked for was for Qin Nan to stay alive.

"We were tricked, chase him!"

Wan Fenghun, Blood Rune, and the rest wore dark expressions as they collected their thoughts. They let out a roar and dashed toward the gap.

If they actually let Qin Nan escape in this situation, it would serve as an absolute humiliation to them.

"Wan Fenghun, Blood Rune, both of you are Genius Martial Monarchs and Young Masters of your tribes, yet you can't even catch a Martial Progenitor!"

In the middle of the formations, Qin Nan's hair danced wildly as his left eye emitted a flicker. He yelled upward and continued to venture deeper into the gap by evading the death traps, despite the pain he was suffering.

He had yet to guarantee his safety.

"Qin Nan, you're going to pay for that!"

Wan Fenghun and Blood Rune's faces became incredibly dark. They immediately executed all kinds of moves and Monarch Arts to chase after Qin Nan, resulting in a series of explosions.

"Meng Langxie, die!"

Not far away, Tang Qingshan's murderous aura became vast like an ocean due to the wills boosting his power. Each saber would simply turn everything into grayscale.

"You.."

Meng Langxie was startled. He was constantly knocked backward miserably.

Time gradually passed. A few thousand breaths were gone in the blink of an eye.

Qin Nan easily weaved through the countless forbidding formations like a fish entering the ocean. Not one single trap or formation could stop him. He soon arrived at the end of the tunnel.

Meanwhile, Wan Fenghun, Blood Rune, and the others were having a hard time trying to advance. The attacks from the traps and formations almost hit them many times.

"Meng Langxie is completely suppressed by Senior Brother. The Tianba Hidden Treasure is definitely Senior Brother's.

"These death traps and forbidding formations are not enough to kill Wan Fenghun, Blood Rune, and their crew, yet they wouldn't make it to the end in time when the space changes.

"Phew, it’s time to treat the injuries."

Qin Nan exhaled deeply and closed his eyes. He directed the life force inside the pendant to rejuvenate his flesh.

Even though he had awakened the life force inside his body, his organs, bones, tendons, etc. were completely destroyed, inflicting serious damage to him.

Sometime later, Meng Langxie was covered in wounds in the Land of White Bones. He had no choice but to activate his life-insuring talisman furiously and disappear.

If it weren't for Qin Nan, the victory would have been his.

Qin Nan was unaware of Meng Langxie's anger. He had recovered seven-tenths of his strength and the pain which felt like his heart was being torn apart was gone too.

"Qin Nan, you piece of——"

Finally, Wan Fenghun and Blood Rune had finally broken through the death traps and forbidding formations. Their miserable figures arrived at the end of the tunnel. Their gazes locked onto Qin Nan as they immediately tried to execute the killing blows.

However, before they could finish their sentence and before their attacks were fully executed, they immediately realized something, which caused their bodies to stiffen as if a cold bucket of water had just been poured down on them.

"Time's up!"

An imperious voice echoed in the space.

Time was up.
