Chapter 420 - Cracking the Formation with a Finger
No one expected Qin Nan to explode all of a sudden.
Yan Zihan halted her footstep and snapped in a cold tone, “What did you say? I’m following the map, how is it possible that there is something wrong with the next step?”
“Something is wrong with your map!” Qin Nan took a deep breath and pointed at the spot three inches in front of Yan Zihan’s foot, “That is where your next step should be!”
After hearing this, Yan Zihan and Zhou Liqing’s faces were filled with disbelief.
This map was left by a genius famous for his eye-technique, why would there be something wrong with his map?
This Qin Nan is too full of himself.
“Don’t think that you have the right to say anything you want just because you are a peerless genius!” Zhou Liqing straightened his face and snapped.
“Qin Nan, you should stop disturbing us for your own sake. Otherwise, I’ll not forgive you if anything goes wrong!”
Yan Zihan’s eyes emitted a hint of murderous intent. Following it, she instantly took a step forward without any hesitation.
“Hold it!”
Qin Nan’s expression changed as he reached out his hand and grabbed her figure with brute force, preventing her from moving.
Zhou Liqing and Yan Zihan had not expected Qin Nan to strike suddenly. However, before they could react, they saw Qin Nan landing his foot onto the spot that he mentioned previously.
“Are you out of your mind, stop it…”
Yan Zihan’s face turned pale as she let out a scream. That being said, Qin Nan’s foot had landed on the spot before she could finish her words.
“s.h.i.+t! Run!”
What was done could not be undone, thus there was no point in being angry right now. Yan Zihan and Zhou Liqing’s hearts were instinctively filled with endless fear as they rapidly dashed backward.
A breath’s time!
Two breaths’ time!
Over ten breaths after, both figures came to a stop.
Why is… nothing happening?
Does that mean the step that Qin Nan just took was the right step?
Their eyes were filled with a blank look as they saw Qin Nan taking another five steps forward while wearing a calm expression as if he was only taking a stroll in the park. After crossing the formation, he then turned his head around and said in a calm tone, “Senior Sister, something is definitely wrong with your map. This formation is called the Heavenly Ocean Moon-Binding Formation. If you were to take that step, everything within five li would be devoured by ocean water and destroyed.”
“Guys, I did mention before; don’t underestimate Qin Nan!”
Sima Kong said with a smile.
Yan Zihan and Zhou Liqing wore an astonished look. They never expected on top of Qin Nan’s outstanding talents that he also possessed such extraordinary eye-technique.
Following this, even Yan Zihan could feel her face blus.h.i.+ng.
Just a few moments ago, they had looked down on Qin Nan a few times in a row.
“Cough cough, Junior Brother Qin Nan, please don’t mind my att.i.tude just then…” Zhou Liqing said while wearing an awkward expression.
“I apologize for my misbehaving. We will need your a.s.sistance for this Cave of the b.l.o.o.d.y Serpent. We’ll split the loot equally among the four of us.”
The coldness of Yan Zihan restored immediately.
“Don’t worry about it!”
Qin Nan let out a smile. He never took this kind of thing too seriously.
Following this, it was Qin Nan’s turn to lead the way. Not only was the team advancing at a faster speed, not a single trap was activated along the way. Yan Zihan and Zhou Liqing were thoroughly convinced of his capabilities now.
“We’re here.”
Qin Nan took a big step forward and let out a groan.
Sima Kong, Yan Zihan and Zhou Liqing were stunned for a while, before they raised their head and glanced upward.
It was suddenly s.p.a.cious deep inside the cave. The capacity of the area was more than twenty zhang big. The surrounding walls were luminous, emitting countless rays of light. In the middle of the area stood a huge ice cube covered in the color of blood, sealing countless of mystical artifacts, weapons, elixirs, and Primary Stones!
Qin Nan’s breathing instantly intensified.
With a quick glance, there was a total of six hundred Primary Stones inside the ice!
How significant is six hundred Primary Stones?
At the Qinglong Sacred Area, it’s equivalent to six million Contribution Points!
Similar to his, the breathing of Sima Kong, Yan Zihan and Zhou Liqing turned incredibly rapid too. If one were to acquire such a fortune, the benefits it would bring were unimaginable!
“No, this is not an ice cube. This is the heart of the b.l.o.o.d.y Serpent. It had constructed a formation using its heart when it was dying!”
Sima Kong suddenly let out a scream after realizing something.
Yan Zihan and Zhou Liqing were dumbfounded after hearing this.
The b.l.o.o.d.y Serpent, a beast that possessed the authentic bloodline of dragons. Therefore, its heart was considered a powerful object. Even a Martial Highness could not deal with the formation constructed from the heart of the b.l.o.o.d.y Serpent!
In other words, despite having a mountain of treasures right in front, they had no idea how to crack it open.
“Break!”
At that instant, a loud roar could be heard.
With a flicker, Qin Nan’s figure sprang forward poking the center of the b.l.o.o.d.y heart with his finger that was engulfed in flames.
BANG!
The entire heart shuddered violently at that instant while emitting a heaven shaking roar as if an atavistic beast was being awakened, causing the area within ten li to tremble vigorously. Following it, the brilliance of the heart swiftly darkened as if its energy was lost before it melted into a pool of blood flowing to the ground.
The countless treasures it contained emitted a buzzing sound as powerful auras burst out from them, causing the entire cave to light up.
“This…”
Sima Kong, Yan Zihan and Zhou Liqing stared with eyes open wide and jaws dropped.
Isn’t that a f**king formation constructed using the heart of the b.l.o.o.d.y Serpent?
Isn’t the formation unbreakable even if a Martial Highness is here?
How did Qin Nan crack it with just a finger?
Are you saying that Qin Nan is also a master in formation?
“The ice was indeed the heart of the b.l.o.o.d.y Serpent, but due to the pa.s.sing of time, its life force was on the verge of depleting. Therefore, only a tenth of the formation’s power still remained…” Qin Nan slowly spoke.
His left eye of the Divine G.o.d of Battle was nowhere the same as before. Its observing ability was extremely terrifying, thus he would not have a problem to crack this complicated formation.
Gasp!
The three took a deep breath after collecting their thoughts. They stared at Qin Nan as if he was a monster.
Even if it’s only a tenth of the power, that’s still insane, right?
However, at that instant.
The rare phenomenon taking place due to the shattering of the heart covered an area of over ten li, startling numerous Martial Ancestor Realm beasts, causing them to immediately glance and dash in Qin Nan’s direction.
These beasts clearly knew about the treasures being sealed off inside the Cave of the b.l.o.o.d.y Serpent. They too were interested in acquiring them, but their fear toward the power of the b.l.o.o.d.y Serpent and the powerful formations inside the cave was long carved into their hearts.
Therefore, they would surely head to the cave to check the rare phenomenon out!
At that instant, a strange little beast sprang out from the woods.
The moment it appeared, the surrounding Martial Ancestor Realm beasts appeared to have encountered some sort of terrifying presence, causing them to become intimidated and not dared budge at all.
