Chen Nan stopped, and so did Zhao Han.
Guo Qiye panicked and said, "Do you want to die? The Soul Devouring Insects are not easy to deal with. Is your life more important than the treasure?"
He wasn't really concerned about Chen Nan and Zhao Han's life and death. But now that the three of them had joined hands, they could be considered as allies. If Chen Nan and Zhao Han were to die, he would be alone, and the danger in this ghost town would increase accordingly.
Zhao Han glanced at him and said, "Your cultivation is not weak, but why are your guts smaller than a mouse's?"
"You two are crazy people who don't want to die!" Guo Qiye said as he retreated. Seeing the Soul Devouring Insects getting closer and closer, he finally ran away.
Chen Nan was speechless. "You call yourself a man, but you make me depressed."
"Coward."
The Black-haired Pheasant could not help but complain. Then, it said proudly, "So many bugs, this Lord Chicken can have a good meal."
After that, it flapped its wings and crowed to the sky.
However, the crowing of the rooster caused the Soul Devouring Insects to stop. Their small bodies trembled on the ground, and they did not dare to move forward.
Chen Nan frowned and said, "What's going on?"
"They were scared by your Lord Chicken. All the bugs in the world are food for your Lord Chicken." The Black-haired Pheasant said excitedly. It flapped its wings and turned into a chicken as tall as a table, and pounced on the Soul Devouring Insects.
Chen Nan and Zhao Han suddenly understood.
Chickens usually fed on insects, so naturally, they were the nemesis of insects.
Seeing the Black-haired Pheasant pouncing, Chen Nan was a little worried. However, he soon realized that the Soul Devouring Insects did not even dare to move in front of it. They were so frightened by its powerful chicken aura that they lay on the ground, trembling.
"Awesome, this is so f * cking delicious!"
The Black-haired Pheasant shouted excitedly and pecked non-stop. With every peck, at least two bugs were eaten.
Chen Nan and Zhao Han heaved a sigh of relief.
He thought that there would be a fierce battle, but he didn't expect that the damned chicken's cry would intimidate all the insects.
There were hundreds of Soul Devouring Insects. Their combined strength was definitely above the black-feathered chicken's. However, none of the insects dared to resist because they were naturally afraid of birds. This was their nature's nemesis.
The three martial artists who had fled in panic were three middle-aged men.
One of them was at the Ninth Heavenly Layer of the Imperial Dao Realm, while the other two were at the Eighth Heavenly Layer of the Imperial Dao Realm. They weren't weak at all, but they could only run for their lives when facing the Soul-Devouring Insects.
This was because their Spiritual Energy was simply too weak. As long as the Soul Devouring Worms touched their bodies, their souls would immediately be devoured and their bodies controlled by the worms.
Chen Nan looked at the Ninth Heaven martial artist and said, "My name is Chen Nan. This is Zhao Han. May I know your names?"
"My name is Wang Xia. These two are my younger brothers, Wang Qiu and Wang Dong." Wang Xia, who was at the Ninth Heaven of the Imperial Dao Realm, said, "Thank you, Brother Chicken, for saving us. Otherwise, the three of us would have lost our lives here today."
"What Brother Chicken? Call me Grandpa Chicken!"
The Black-haired Pheasant, who was eating the bugs, suddenly interrupted.
"Eat your food. No one will think you're mute if you don't interrupt." Chen Nan scolded jokingly. He looked at Wang Xia and said, "Brother, I heard you say that you know where the Absolute Frost Treasure is?"
Wang Xia was very clear that Chen Nan had saved them because of this.
However, how could he be willing to share such a treasure with others? He looked at his two younger brothers, and the three of them exchanged glances.
Chen Nan saw all of this and smiled. "Brother Wang, you're not playing with me, right?"
"Of course not. Brother Chen, you're our savior." Wang Xia forced a smile and said, "I'll lead the way later. We'll go get the treasure together."
"Brother Wang, you're indeed straightforward." Chen Nan smiled.
Wang Xia smiled stiffly and said, "It's my duty, it's my duty."
In just two minutes, hundreds of Soul Devouring Bugs were all eaten by the Black-haired Pheasant. It was so full that its stomach was bulging. It was a full meal.
"Burp … I'm so full."
The Black-haired Pheasant burped like a human. It transformed into a small chicken and returned to Chen Nan's shoulder.
Chen Nan pointed to the front and said, "Brother Wang, please lead the way."
"Okay, let's go."
Wang Xia said straightforwardly. However, the moment he passed by Chen Nan, he suddenly attacked. The long sword in his hand slashed horizontally and swept towards Chen Nan's neck.
It looked like he wanted to take Chen Nan's life in one move.
"Clang …"
Chen Nan was already prepared. He blocked the attack with the Sky-Rending Hand.
At the same time, Wang Qiu and Wang Dong attacked. They waved their long swords at the same time and stabbed towards Zhao Han's chest.
Although Zhao Han knew some close-combat techniques, it wasn't easy to avoid the sneak attack of two martial artists at such a close distance.
At the critical moment, he suddenly raised his left hand. A bolt of lightning flashed from his palm and blasted towards the tip of Wang Qiu's sword.
This was the Rushing Thunder Hand that Chen Nan taught him.
"Clang …"
The tip of the sword pierced his palm. It was about half a centimeter deep into his flesh, and blood dripped out.
He hadn't practiced the Rushing Thunder Hand for long. Naturally, its power couldn't be compared to Chen Nan's Sky-Rending Hand.
Wang Qiu's sword was blocked, but Wang Dong's sword had already stabbed towards his chest. Just as it was about to pierce his clothes, Chen Nan moved as fast as lightning. He blocked Wang Xia's attack with one hand and summoned the Heaven-Punishing Demon Blade with the other hand. He slashed upwards with the blade.
"Clang!"
The sound of metal clashing could be heard. Wang Qiu's long sword trembled and let out a sorrowful cry.
The long sword, which was radiating cold light, was instantly cut into two by Chen Nan's Demon Blade. The tip of the sword fell to the ground and let out a crisp sound.
"Ungrateful things, you're courting death!"
Zhao Han was furious. He suddenly jumped back a few meters. He immediately formed a seal with his hands and unleashed his Daoist technique — —
"Absolute Domain!"
Following his loud shout, everything within ten meters of him was confined by the power of the domain.
Everyone, including Chen Nan, felt as if they were trapped in a swamp. It was as if their acupoints had been sealed, and it was extremely difficult for them to move.
"Brother, I'll leave the killing mission to you."
As Zhao Han spoke, he formed a seal with his hands. A ray of light shot out and supported Chen Nan. Instantly, Chen Nan broke free from the power of the domain and could move freely.
"Ungrateful bastard!"
Chen Nan cursed. He slashed down with the Demon Blade in his hand and directly killed Wang Dong.
Wang Dong's head, which was dripping with blood, was imprisoned in the air. It was exceptionally hideous.
"Brother!"
Wang Xia and Wang Qiu's expressions changed drastically. They desperately tried to break free from the restraint, but the power of the Absolute Domain was actually that easy to break.
Chen Nan believed in the power of Zhao Han's Daoist technique. This was because when he fought against Zhao Han in the past, he suffered a lot under this technique. The Demon Blade in his hand swept horizontally again, cleaving Wang Qiu's entire body from head to toe. He was cut into two halves. However, the remains of his body were imprisoned by the power of the domain and were not separated for a while.
"Speak, where is the Absolute Frost Treasure?" Chen Nan pointed his Demon Blade at Wang Xia.
