Chapter 745: Strength Rules, What Is the Point of Reason?

In that case, let’s settle it once and for all!

Yan Buxiu’s expression turned cold as he drew out the Nine Heavens Fan.

He assumed a horse stance and forcefully swung it upwards.

A violent whirlwind began to form around him and above him, its power so immense that it could sweep everything nearby into its vortex.

This was the destructive force of two Nascent Soul cultivators putting forth their full strength!

Nanli and Bai Xiangyu had enough spiritual power to resist, but the others were already exhausted, unable to stabilize themselves. If they were caught in the wind, their bodies would likely be torn apart!

The two of them, with four hands, could save four or five people, but they couldn’t save more than a dozen people or the entire city’s population at once!

Yun Jianchu was within Nanli’s body, sensing her urgent desire to save everyone.

"Watch me!" she shouted, "Qiankun Ten Thousand Swords, heed my command!"

Nanli narrowed her eyes, confused. "Where are the swords?"

After a moment of silence, Yun Jianchu became furious, "This Vajra Umbrella is no longer listening to me! You try speaking the command!"

Nanli rolled her eyes.

The Demon Soul known as Yun Jianchu had been bound together with her, and at this point, it couldn’t hurt to try.

"Qiankun Ten Thousand Swords, heed my command!"

With a single command, the Vajra Umbrella flew out of her hand.

Its umbrella leaves separated and transformed into a series of long swords, whizzing through the air and rescuing the people on the brink of being sucked into the storm, pulling them back.

"This... this celestial artifact is incredible..." Bai Xiangyu was stunned, "I never knew it had this use."

He looked at Nanli with eyes full of envy.

Nanli, however, paid him no mind. She quickly grabbed one person with each hand, pulling Chu Ye and Chu Yan to safety.

"Wait for me!" Bai Xiangyu hurriedly followed.

Indeed, the Daluo Buddha Hand came crashing down, shaking the ground.

The two forces were at a standstill.

But a single Qiankun Sword, knowing Nanli’s intent, shot toward Yan Buxiu, aiming to stab him.

Yan Buxiu had already exhausted much of his spiritual energy. Facing Cinian’s Daluo Buddha Hand, he was struggling, and when the Qiankun Sword came at him, he was startled, waving his sleeve to deflect the sword.

However, the distraction allowed the Daluo Buddha Hand to break the whirlwind!

It pressed down heavily!

The ground cracked under the massive Buddha palm, its mark deepening with each moment.

Outside the city, almost no land was left untouched.

Even Yan Town trembled, with numerous buildings collapsing.

Dust and sand swirled around. Though Nanli, Chu Ye, and the others were far away, they were still covered in dirt.

Cough, cough, cough... Bai Xiangyu waved his hand to clear the dust, "What’s going on with this battle? I can’t see anything!"

The two masters were showcasing their best skills, and indeed, it was an extraordinary display.

Bai Xiangyu couldn’t help but wonder when he would reach the Nascent Soul stage.

Nanli used a wind talisman.

The wind blew away the sand and dust, and after a moment, the outcome was finally clear.

Yan Buxiu lay in the Buddha palm print, coughing up blood. He was too weak to rise.

Cinian stood nearby, panting heavily.

Using such a powerful technique had drained him of all his spiritual energy. It would take at least three or four days to recover.

Cinian called to Nanli, "Nanli, please deliver the finishing blow."

Nanli, upon hearing this, became alert.

She immediately rushed forward.

"Zen Master Cinian, this Daluo Buddha Hand of yours is indeed powerful," she remarked.

Cinian smiled, "It’s good, but it consumes too much energy. I can’t use it often."

Nanli turned her gaze to Yan Buxiu.

This was their third time meeting.

No, during their first encounter at the Immortal Sect, they hadn’t really faced each other.

Yan Buxiu not only had his meridians damaged but was now trapped by the Daluo Buddha Hand. Seeing Nanli approach step by step, he became panicked.

"You... you’re going to kill me? Don’t you fear that Penglai Island will retaliate?" he cried.

Cinian furrowed his brow and said, "Island Master Yan, it was you who broke the contract and came to the Human World to commit evil."

Therefore, you deserve to die!

Nanli’s gaze was cold. "Whether we kill you today or not, the major sects of the Upper Realm will make their move. Killing you will only reduce one enemy in the future."

Yan Buxiu hadn’t expected to fall into such a dire situation today.

But he wasn’t ready to give up yet!

He said, "Nanli, don’t you want to know who you really are and what grudge we have with each other?"

Nanli took out the Golden Hairpin.

She intended to destroy Yan Buxiu’s Dantian and take his life.

Because she knew full well that Yan Buxiu was just stalling for time. She would not let this perfect opportunity to kill him slip away.

However, before the Golden Hairpin could strike, a figure suddenly swept in.

The figure’s palm strike was incredibly powerful, fierce beyond measure!

Nanli reacted quickly, grabbing Yan Buxiu and using a Teleportation Talisman to retreat a considerable distance.

The figure paused for a moment, clearly startled.

But it quickly recovered, using a movement technique to appear before Cinian, grabbing his throat.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

The two sides were about twenty yards apart.

Nanli recognized the technique and her voice turned colder: "It was you who destroyed my Dantian at the Wu family’s place."

This was Yan Buxiu.

The new arrival was Qingwu.

He was once the Grand Elder of Jialan Celestial Mountain and now the Immortal World’s Lord.

Qingwu saw his old brother in such a dire state and was filled with grief and rage.

"It’s me," he said, tightening his grip on Cinian’s throat, "Nanli, don’t you dare harm my good brother. If you do, not only will Zen Master Cinian die here, but I won’t leave a single beast in Yan Town alive."

"Qingwu..." Yan Buxiu choked out.

Cinian’s face was awkward.

He had finally been able to show off in front of Nanli, but unexpectedly, Qingwu arrived immediately after, and now he was just a burden.

How embarrassing!

Bai Xiangyu rushed over.

He was also furious: "Lord, Island Master Yan broke the contract first. You’re in the wrong here! And if you harm the ordinary citizens of Yan Town, can you withstand the wrath of Heaven?"

"Reason? Strength is supreme. What need is there for reason?" Qingwu shot him a disdainful glance. "For the sake of my good brother, there’s nothing I won’t do."

Bai Xiangyu was stunned.

Indeed, he couldn’t win this fight, so all his words were futile.

Cinian dared not speak either. After all, this was a personal grudge between Nanli and them. No matter what Nanli decided, he would bear no complaints.

Qingwu spoke again: "Nanli, are you really willing to let so many people die because of your revenge and temporary satisfaction?"

Nanli twisted her lips into a cold smile: "Don’t try to twist the facts. You killed them, what does it have to do with me?"

"But if you show mercy and let Island Master Yan live, you will save countless lives, and your merit will be immeasurable," Qingwu said, no longer threatening her but analyzing the situation. "Nanli, I just want Island Master Yan alive. I don’t want to harm anyone here."

He turned his gaze elsewhere and smiled lightly. "If I’m not mistaken, your family is here, too. Are you willing to let them die?"

Nanli raised her chin slightly.

With Cinian, who could go toe to toe with Qingwu, captured, if she truly killed Yan Buxiu now, no one would be able to stop Qingwu.

Yun Jianchu, however, spoke up: "Nanli, you are a cultivator on the path to ascension. When your family is gone, you will have no more attachments. You can get your revenge and be free of these ties. Why not?"
