Chapter 1761 - One Against Five

Chapter 1761 - One Against Five

The place fell deadly silent.

Zhu Zihuang’s eyes flickered with a hint of doubt.

He initially thought everything was under his control, yet a simple sentence from Qin Nan had ruined all his plans.

Would he stand a chance against Qin Nan now that he had reforged his Dao Foundation?

“Cultivator Zhu, if now isn’t the time for the duel, it’s fine.”

Qin Nan did not bother mocking the man for not keeping his words. He chose to give the man a chance to give up instead.

Inviting someone to a duel was different than normal battles.

Normally, the cultivators were allowed to use all kinds of tricks and methods, even those that might be called dirty in the battles, as long as they could win the battles.

The cultivators could rob others or do other things too.

The world of cultivation had always been cruel.

However, when it came to a duel, it was more important to win the opponent fair and square.

Zhu Zihuang collected his thoughts. The doubts in his eyes dissipated.

Should he fight the duel or not?

Did he have a chance to win?

He immediately made his decision. He wore a stern look as his eyes erupted into flames, “How could I back away now if I’m inviting you to a duel in the first place? We can never tell who’s going to win in the end!”

He was one of the core disciples of the Nongyan Tribe.

A Peerless Genius was only a step away from the Exceptional Geniuses.

Immortal Emperor Jiangjue, the Peerless Rulers, and the rest of the cultivators collected their thoughts too.

“Wait a second!”

Immortal Emperor Jiangjue suddenly stepped forward.

“Qin Nan, you are the Strongest Immortal. You have defeated more than twenty Peerless Geniuses at once. Isn’t it unfair for you to be fighting Zhu Zihuang only?”

“Why don’t you go against the five of them instead?”

Immortal Emperor Jiangjue’s eyes flickered coldly.

So what if Qin Nan had rebuilt his Dao Foundation?

Many people had rebuilt their Dao Foundation in the past too. He would not believe Qin Nan’s strength was still as formidable after his Dao Foundation was destroyed and rebuilt again.

On top of it, he would not believe Qin Nan’s cultivation could recover to the Greater Success Stage of the Dao Realm if he had already achieved the peak Earth Immortal Realm.

In other words, Qin Nan’s strength was still recovering at the moment.

Zhu Zihuang alone might not have a chance, but with the other four, their chance of winning the duel should be a lot higher.

Besides, even if Zhu Zihuang and the others lost, he would not lose anything.

If Zhu Zihuang and the others were lucky enough to win the duel, they might end up killing Qin Nan, taking care of a potentially great threat while it was still in the cradle.

“One against five?”

The crowd was startled.

“I’m fine with it if they are willing,” Qin Nan said calmly.

However, the calmer Qin Nan was, the stronger the people could feel the confidence and imperiousness of the man that was called the Strongest Immortal.

“No, that won’t do!”

The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor quickly waved his hand, “You are only offering the Indistinct Purple Immortal Flame as the stake, yet you are demanding him to take on five people at once. The other four should at least contribute to the stake too.”

Immortal Emperor Jiangjue harrumphed and said, “Of course, we’ll be increasing the stake on our side. You won’t have to worry about it. What do you all think?”

He glanced at the other Peerless Rulers.

“Martial Uncle, I’m willing to take part in the duel!”

Gu Julin, Jiu Jie, Ke Meng, and Du Yueyu stepped forward. Some did not hesitate to make up their mind, while the others were slightly hesitant for a brief moment.

If Qin Nan was not scared to face them, what were they even scared about?

They were interested to see how capable the so-called Strongest Immortal was!

“Very well, we’ll swear an Immortal Demon Oath respectively.”

Immortal Emperor Jiangjue, the old monk in a gray robe, and the rest of the Peerless Rulers exchanged glances with one another. They proceeded to swear an Immortal Demon Oath while making up their mind.

Regardless of the outcome of the duel, they had to notify their faction about it.

It was necessary to treat an Exceptional Genius who had risen again seriously.

Everyone soon swore an Immortal Demon Oath and flew out of the giant gate in a huge formation.

Currently, the Eastern Realm and the Western Realm were in a weird situation. Countless factions were heading to the two realms, thus there were fights and battles everywhere.

However, no one had expected a duel would be taking place in an Unclaimed Blessed Immortal Land.

“Cultivator Qin Nan, here we go.”

Zhu Zihuang, Gu Julin, and the others stood in a line and brought their fists together at Qin Nan.

Even though they had slightly underestimated Qin Nan’s strength before, they were treating the duel very seriously.

“Cultivators, show me what you got.”

Qin Nan’s right arm exploded. He held the saber firmly.

“An extraordinary immortal saber indeed!”

Zhu Zihuang’s eyes glittered. He groaned and unleashed his immortal force. His aura skyrocketed as a formidable purple flame burst out of his body.

The flame that he now possessed was the Indistinct Purple Immortal Flame too, but it was not just the scale of a Fire Seed, but it had already reached the Greater Success Sage.

Gu Julin, Jiu Jie, and the others unleashed their cultivation too.

The character ‘古’ (Primordial) flickered on Gu Julin’s forehead, granting him an ancient aura while Du Yueyu emitted a strong aura that engulfed her like armor.

“Dragon Soaring Art!”

Qin Nan did not show any mercy. The surroundings were filled with rolling cries of dragons as he made his move. It was as if he had turned into a peerless dragon in the eyes of the cultivators.

“Burning Desolate Art!”

“Ancient Buddha!”

“Will of the Primordial!”

The five Peerless Geniuses performed hand seals, unleashing flames, bodhi glows, ancient wills, sword intents, and disastrous intents into the air. The attacks immediately destroyed the pure immortal intent lingering in the air.

The cultivators below the Heaven Immortal Realm, and a few in the first and second-layer Heaven Immortal Realm were astounded by the attacks.

The five Peerless Geniuses were all core disciples who had mastered the Minor Success Stage of the Dao Realm or had probed the Dao Realm by now. The strength of their immortal arts was quite insane.

However, a dragon sky that sounded like the wrath of the Heavens overwhelmed the combined aura of the five Peerless Geniuses’ attacks.

Two enormous dragon claws appeared out of nowhere and struck the five Immortal Arts, shattering them into pieces.

Qin Nan seemed to have the upper hand within the blink of an eye!

“Is this the strength of the Strongest Immortal?”

A peak Human Immortal murmured with a blank face.

“What is there to be surprised about? Qin Nan can last more than three rounds against me. Isn’t it normal for him to do such a thing?”

Xiu Shenliang immediately wore a disdainful look after hearing the comment.
