Return of the Ancient Gods

While feeling the magic here, Chu Nan roughly understood the reason for the incident during the casual chat:

There are two major forces in Luoxia Mountain, the Luo family and the Lei family.

The two families had been competing for years and were evenly matched. However, more than a year ago, the head of the Lei family, Lei Bao, had a strange breakthrough and his strength increased greatly. The balance was broken and the Luo family was suppressed to the point of being breathless.

The Luo family was even forced to move away from the land where they had lived for generations.

The Luo family has only one way to reverse their decline and turn defeat into victory, and that is to find an opportunity for a breakthrough in this secret adventure.

"Cultivation also depends on opportunity. An instant enlightenment is better than ten years of hard training. Why did you say, little sister, that the head of the Lei family, Lei Bao, had a strange breakthrough?" Chu Nan stopped paddling and asked curiously, glancing at Luo Zihan deliberately. She didn't seem to be saying anything angrily.

"No. Lei Bao is as strong as my father, but he is stupid and far inferior to my father, and he has a hidden disease. My father once said that he would never be able to improve in his life, but suddenly one day he made a breakthrough inexplicably without any signs," Luo Zixian said indignantly. The past was unbearable to recall, and she was so angry that she punched the water surface, causing water ripples.

"After Lei Bao's breakthrough, he lured the Luo family's children to harm my father. My father fought with them and was seriously injured by a surprise attack. His realm dropped sharply. It was from then on that the Luo family's life became worse and worse..."

Chu Nan remained silent.

"Lei Bao is a vicious and cruel person. I am worried that something might happen to my father and his friends during this secret adventure. Brother Wen Tao just happened to ask for someone to help us." Luo Zixian paused, and looked at Chu Nan quietly with her big watery eyes, begging:

"Big brother, you can help others, right?"

Wen Tao also pleaded, clasping his hands together and bowing to Chu Nan. Although he knew that Chu Nan was a righteous man, he was really afraid of being rejected when dealing with such a thing.

"Don't worry, since we are here, we will do our best." Chu Nan readily agreed, sorting out the clues, and added:

"But Fatty, you have to remember that you owe me a favor."

"Of course." Wen Tao answered timidly, feeling inexplicably grateful. Knowing that Chu Nan's words were trustworthy, he could now feel at ease.

After a long time, there was a sound of swords clashing in the distant sky, and two groups of people came towards Jingxin Lake:

The Luo family team was being hunted down. Everyone was injured to varying degrees, and it was not very miserable. The head of the Luo family, Luo Wu, had his arm cut off, and blood kept dripping down. He chose to stay behind to cover the retreat.

"You guys should run away quickly with the treasure, don't worry about me..."

"Father, let us stay and stop this bastard. With this treasure, you will be able to recover and won't be afraid of him..." The second son of the Luo family took the initiative to stand up and fight against the Lei family.

"What a touching father-son love. Then stay and die together. None of you can escape!" A bald man with a scar on his face rushed over with a beheading knife in his hand.

It was Lei Bao, the head of the Lei family!

“Don’t even think about it!” Seeing that they were about to be caught up, the head of the Luo Wu family pushed the two men away and took the initiative to fight back.

"You're courting death!" Scarface Lei Bao smiled sinisterly and swung his sword to kill.

A great battle broke out in the air. The powerful air waves released by the peak strong men in the Shenzang realm collided with each other. The shock wave spread out, and even ripples appeared on the surface of the lake.

At first glance, both sides were evenly matched, but Luo Wu soon showed signs of weakness. Lei Bao's attack became more powerful and overbearing, and a strange black light flowed from the blade, which wiped out the opponent's true energy.

"Old thief, if that's the case, we can't let you live. At worst, we'll die together with you!" The two sons of the Luo family did not take the opportunity to escape. Instead, they looked at each other and reached an agreement. They cooperated with each other and used all their strength to attack Lei Bao from both sides.

"You don't overestimate your own abilities. Even though you are at the same realm, there is too much difference in your strength!" Seeing three against one, Lei Bao was not afraid but overjoyed. He saved himself the trouble and wiped out the whole thing in one fell swoop.

"..."

The second son of the Luo family had a solemn look on their faces. They wanted to take advantage of Lei Bao's lack of time to attack him, but they didn't expect that the attack didn't work. Instead, they were knocked down at the first sight.

boom!

With a loud explosion, the head of the Luo Wu family was also defeated. He was slashed in the chest, blood splattered in the sky, and he slowly floated down like an autumn leaf. Fortunately, he was still alive.

"Oh shit, you're not completely dead yet? Let me give you one more blow!" Lei Bao glanced at him disdainfully and chopped him down without hesitation.

"Father..." The second son of the Luo family was seriously injured and unable to move, and was unable to bark.

Needless to say, in the critical moment, Chu Nan leaped into the air to save people and rushed towards the violent slashing.

"Who is this boy, and why did he save us..."

“No matter why, he is too reckless. The old thief Lei Bao is a powerful warrior in the Tianxuan realm. Even if his realm is suppressed, he, who is in the early stage of the Shenzang realm, cannot resist it…” The second son of the Luo family raised his head and looked at the figure that was passing by him. He was grateful and confused, as if he could predict what Chu Nan’s end would be and couldn’t bear to look at it.

The second son of the Luo family is also a genius, the leader of the younger generation of Luoxia Mountain, but he was unable to withstand a single move from Lei Bao. Even someone at the peak of the Shenzang realm ended up like this, let alone Chu Nan, a kid at the early stage of the Shenzang realm?

The closer one gets, the more powerful the oncoming true energy and murderous intent it contains will pour down like a surging river, enough to crush a person into pieces.

However, Chu Nan showed no fear. He stretched out one hand and put two fingers together, gathering all his energy on them. The shadow of the two fingers became solid and huge, and the speed increased a lot. He went straight to Lei Bao.

"Lingxi Finger!"

boom!

With a loud roar, the smoke and dust dispersed. Chu Nan was not defeated. Instead, Lei Bao's attack was broken. He was forced back by a fierce energy and a cut was made on his face.

"Blocked? Really blocked. A person at the early stage of Shenzang Realm blocked the attack of old thief Lei Bao. Who on earth is that young man?!"

The two sons of the Luo family were shocked and couldn't believe this scene. They pinched their faces hard. It was obvious that Chu Nan was younger and less skilled than them, but he could do what they couldn't.

Or is Chu Nan some old monster who has been reborn, or is he pretending to be old and has great skills, but in fact his age is comparable to the sun and the moon?

"A hero emerges from youth. It is indeed remarkable that he can block Lei Bao's attack, but the opponent is not that simple." The head of the Luo Wu family murmured, and he breathed a sigh of relief after being rescued by Wen Tao. Although he wanted to rely on Chu Nan to hold Lei Bao back and take the opportunity to escape, he just couldn't do such a thing. He stared at the progress of the battle.

"Where did you come from, you bastard? How dare you ruin my good thing? Die!" Lei Bao wiped the blood flowing down his cheek and said viciously. He adjusted his posture and emitted another terrifying murderous light.

A fierce battle broke out in the air. The father and son of the Luo family watched with their mouths wide open, mumbling in their sleep:

"Incomparable, too strong, just like a young supreme being!"

"I told you there would be no problem." Wen Tao boasted to Luo Zixian complacently, feeling full of accomplishment, as if he had done everything himself.

Xue'er, on the other hand, appeared very calm.

"Damn it! A brat with unknown origins has made me so miserable. I just don't believe in evil, so I'll try this trick again, Tyrant Sword!"

After failing to defeat Chu Nan in dozens of moves, Lei Bao was furious, his veins bulging, and he condensed all his energy into the blade, launching a terrifying attack that swept across the world, splitting mountains and shattering rocks with ease.

"My friend, be careful. Don't underestimate the enemy. This is Lei Bao's unique skill. He used this move to kill a mid-stage Shenzang realm warrior just after he entered the Shenzang realm."

Seeing Lei Bao's posture, the head of the Luo Wu family was horrified and reminded loudly that although Chu Nan's previous performance was remarkable, he might not be able to block Lei Bao's full-strength move.

"Come on, let me see how strong you are. Suppress them all. Use the Xuanming Seal!" Feeling the opponent's strength, Chu Nan was not afraid. Instead, he was eager to fight. He formed a seal with both hands and attacked again.

Circles of halos spread out from Chu Nan's palm, enveloping him, and embellished with dazzling golden light, as if a god from heaven had descended to earth. The seal was filled with terrifying power, like the sky pressing down on the earth.

……

"Ah, ah, he really defeated Lei Bao!" Seeing the scene of Lei Bao being shot down, everyone in the Luo family opened their mouths wide. That Lei Bao was easily defeated by a young man of a lower level. The nightmare that had troubled them for many years came to an end. Looking at Chu Nan, it was as if they saw a monster, no, a god.

"So strong, he has become so strong in such a short time!" Wen Tao was also surprised. He knew Chu Nan's situation better, so he was even more shocked.

Xue'er didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded.
