Peerless Battle Spirit

Chapter 2300: Two Strange Old Men

Four days later, Qin Nan and Ji Jinzi arrived at the inner sector of the Middle Mysterious Realm.

Their speed had dropped significantly.

They had noticed the seven-colored light's effects had weakened a lot. They were starting to trigger deadly traps when they passed by them. The ferocious beasts and mysterious existences they passed would wake up and look around them suspiciously too.

Even though they were not in any danger, they did not dare to take the risk.

The deadly traps they encountered had unleashed auras stronger than the Ruler Realm. They were most likely around the level of the Heaven Highness Realm.

The consequences would be unimaginable if an accident did happen.

On the other hand, Qin Nan also discovered Ji Jinzi was the complete opposite of Empress Feiyue. The former was talking non-stop throughout the journey. She was asking everything about Qin Nan's life.

However, perhaps because Ji Jinzi was occupying Empress Feiyue's flesh, Qin Nan was not annoyed by her. He was surprisingly talkative too.

Qin Nan also noticed Ji Jinzi had extraordinary Martial Skill Talents. Her understanding of various arts had broadened Qin Nan's view.

Their relationship was slowly improving without them noticing.

A few hours later, they arrived at an ancient mountain range with towering trees, strange plants and grass. Cries of beasts echoed continuously in it. Various deadly traps were hidden in it too. Every step they took involved certain risks.

"Mm?"

Their eyes suddenly glittered.

"I remember we just passed this spot. How did we end up here again? Did we fall into a trap?" Ji Jinzi said.

"It's possible. Stay behind me," Qin Nan said softly and took the lead.

Ji Jinzi's lips curled upward. Wasn't her cultivation stronger than his?

Did he really ask her to stay behind him?

She followed Qin Nan's order obediently instead of pointing it out.

The two eventually returned to the same spot.

"It seems like we are trapped in some kind of illusion," Qin Nan said.

If it was a deadly trap, they would long be in danger.

"Break!"

Qin Nan had practiced the Illusion Immortal Manuscript. He was familiar with illusions. He immediately waved his hand and released a formidable power.

BANG!

Following a loud blast, the ground around them started cracking and was replaced by a pitch-black deep abyss. A strong force burst out of it and pulled them into the darkness like two invisible hands.

"Not good!"

Qin Nan's expression shifted. The force was a lot stronger than his strength.

Qin Nan had no time to think. He immediately unleashed the new power in his body to encapsulate himself. He also summoned the Ownerless Heaven Pattern to wrap around Ji Jinzi.

Whoosh!

The two sank rapidly into the deep abyss. They sunk over a few thousand li in the blink of an eye and slammed heavily on the ground.

Qin Nan's blood surged wildly due to the strong impact.

"Are you alright?" Qin Nan asked.

"I'm fine."

Ji Jinzi shook her head. Her eyes lit up in the dark.

Qin Nan immediately activated the Immortal Eyes of the Divine God of Battle and scanned the surroundings. The darkness was unusual. He could only see a hundred zhang away with his eye-technique.

ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!

A series of roars suddenly occurred in the distance. Brilliant blood-red lights appeared and swiftly approached them. The ground shook vigorously as if a tide of beasts was charging at them from the darkness.

In addition to it, countless whooshes took place too. Red slashes poured down at them like a great storm.

"We have to move!"

Qin Nan grabbed Ji Jinzi's wrist and flew rapidly ahead while executing a series of Master Arts.

Even though he knew it was just an illusion, everything felt extremely real.

It was a high-level illusion!

If they were struck by the blades, they would feel pain and bleed too.

(Sigh) "What do you want me to say to you two?" Wu Di said helplessly, "The illusion has long been around over twenty thousand li away, but you have to take this path when there are so many available! Humph, in the end, you still have to rely on me."

Wu Di said proudly, "Now, listen to my instructions. Head east."

Qin Nan looked to his east and saw a tall mountain in his way. He flew at it without any hesitation, but a loud collision soon took place. The mountain shook vigorously as splinters spattered from it. The two slammed over a thousand zhang into the mountain.

(Cough cough) "My bad. I meant west."

“……”

Following a series of explosions, Qin Nan and Ji Jinzi finally came out of a lake after around an hour. They were both panting heavily. They looked miserable.

They had consumed a huge amount of the Power of Rules just to defend themselves from the traps.

Ji Jinzi tied her hair up. Her eyes squinted as if she was in a great mood. Qin Nan was puzzled. He said, "Why do you look so happy? Do you enjoy being chased?"

Ji JInzi shook her head and said, "Not really, but I've always faced every danger myself after my mother sent me away since the battle in the past. I've never gone through hardships with someone else. How should I describe it? I feel quite comfortable."

Qin Nan fell silent. Even though Ji Jinzi was Cang's daughter with an outstanding status, her childhood and the things she went through were worse than an ordinary person.

Qin Nan calmed his aura and said with a smile, "We still have a long way to go. I'll stick with you throughout the journey."

Ji Jinzi was stunned. She teased, "Then you should stop leading the way. You are just in the early stage of the Ruler Realm while I'm in the peak Ruler Realm. I should be protecting you."

The two continued on their way while having pleasant conversations.

Zhou Xundao and Jiaye both wore strange expressions.
