Chapter 1007 – Soul-Hooking Pond
Although the twelve geniuses had purposely concealed their strength, the battle was still spectacular as the Monarch Arts collided with one another .
Even Qin Nan could not help but utter his compliments, as his blood began to boil .
The outcome was soon decided . The genius of the God Ranking claimed two of the golden coffins . Dao Qianzhong and Hua Dichen each claimed one, while the rest shared the last one .
“The geniuses of the Middle Continent aren’t too bad after all . ” The genius on the God Ranking gave Huo Wulong one of the coffins and said . Even though he was still as proud as usual, his eyes were no longer filled with disdain .
“That’s surely over-complimenting . ”
Dao Qianzhong, Hua Dichen, and the others could not help but admit that his strength was truly terrifying .
As for Qin Nan, it was as if everyone had entirely forgotten about his existence .
BANG .
At that instant, following a rumbling noise, the huge golden wall sculpted with countless spiritual figures began to shatter on its own, revealing a passage leading into the dark .
“Come . ”
The genius of the God Ranking, Dao Qianzhong, and the others immediately went forward .
Qin Nan calmly followed behind the group .
After walking for a while in the passage, the sound of running water could be heard in front . The geniuses gathered their focus and slowed down their pace . A while later, they finally managed to get a clear look .
It was a serene pond, blue in color . To everyone’s surprise, the water was flowing in an upward motion, completely defying the laws of nature .
“The Soul-Hooking Pond!” The genius of the God Ranking was astounded, “Damn it, why is the Soul-Hooking Pond here?”
Dao Qianzhong, Hua Dichen, and the others were startled too .
“The Soul-Hooking Pond? According to the rumors, even peak Martial Progenitor Realm experts would not dare to enter it . Otherwise, their soul and Martial Spirit would be hooked away by it…” Qin Nan’s eyes flickered .
He had learned the information from the All-Knowing Scroll .
“What should we do now? Should we work together to try advancing past it?” Huo Wulong suggested .
The other geniuses hesitated . The Soul-Hooking Pond was extremely dangerous, thus their only choice now was to work together .
Suddenly, a squeak could be heard from the pond, catching everyone’s attention . It turned out to be a boat rowing toward them, which eventually arrived before the geniuses .
“This boat is able to resist the Soul-Hooking Pond? Mm? There are thirteen handprints on the boat?”
The genius of the God Ranking said after glimpsing at the boat .
Thirteen handprints?
The crowd was stunned . Didn’t they have thirteen people in total as well?
The genius of the God Ranking placed his hand on one of the handprints, causing it to emit a faint glow, “Come and put your hands on it too . ”
Dao Qianzhong, Hua Dichen, Huo Wulong, and the others immediately followed .
When twelve handprints were lit up, the crowd finally realized something and glanced in Qin Nan’s direction .
“Come, put your hand on it . ” The genius of the God Ranking said in a commanding tone .
Dao Qianzhong and the others had earned his approval, but that did not mean this Qin Nan was included too .
Qin Nan ignored his attitude and placed his hand on the handprint as he stepped onto the boat .
Following this, the ancient boat began to float upward, following the flow of the water .
“Hehe, Junior Brother Qin Nan, not that I want to point it out, but you didn’t join the battle just then . Could it be that you’re waiting for us to injure one another so you would be the biggest winner? That’s not a very good idea . ” Hua Dichen’s eyes flickered as he said in a calm tone .
As a matter of fact, now was the perfect opportunity to knock Qin Nan into the Soul-Hooking Pond, which would turn him into a soulless zombie even if he were not killed in the process .
However, he could not do it, as the Dragon Emperor Clan would find it out very soon . Therefore, he had decided to sow dissension instead .
Dao Qianzhong, Huo Wulong, and the others were startled .
Even though Qin Nan’s strength was weak, it did not mean that he would not strike when they were in danger .
“I’m too weak to compete against you…” Qin Nan said with a frown .
“Hehe, enough with the bullshit . Leave the boat right now if you want to protect your life . Otherwise, don’t blame me for showing no mercy . ” Huo Wulong snapped with a firm attitude .
“That’s right, leave the boat now . ”
“Qin Nan, you should leave . ”
The other geniuses said .
They clearly knew that Hua Dichen was trying to use them to eliminate Qin Nan, thus they preferred to chase him away now .
Hua Dichen frowned slightly . It was not easy to trick these geniuses either .
He had to find some way to let them do the dirty work for him .
Qin Nan wore a calm expression .
Without him, the others would not be able to activate the boat either . However, that was no longer their concern, as getting rid of him meant one less competitor .
“If I don’t quit now, they would surely attack . Should I really fight them with my true strength? We’re on the Soul-Hooking Pond, if a battle took place, it’s highly possible that…” Qin Nan quickly pondered to come up with a plan .
However, at that instant…
“What a waste of time!”
The genius of the God Ranking uttered the words coldly as he opened his hand, which emitted a terrifying glow . It transformed into a giant punch that fired in Qin Nan’s direction .
The attack alone was enough to eliminate a ninth-layer Martial Progenitor .
At the last moment, Qin Nan’s eyes widened as he raised his left arm to defend himself .
BANG!
An explosion took place .
Qin Nan’s figure was sent flying back into the dark passage like an arrow being fired .
The eyes of the geniuses on the boat glistened, as they never thought the genius of the God Ranking would attack without considering the consequences . There was no way Qin Nan would survive the attack .
“Impressive, as expected of a genius on the God Ranking . I’ve really learned a great deal today, but unfortunately…” Hua Dichen wore a pitiful look, but his heart was overjoyed . He even had the urge to call the genius of the God Ranking his brother .
“Oh Qin Nan, this is what you get for opposing me . Just a few words, and I could decide your fate!” Hua Dichen wore a grin as he felt extremely pleasant .
The ancient boat continued to move forward .
The geniuses on the boat soon forgot about the short confrontation .
To them, Qin Nan’s death was of little concern .
However, little did they know that a figure slowly rose from the ground in the dark passage with a pair of icy eyes .
