After hearing Ye Tianlong's words, Zhao Rong nodded: "Rest assured, junior brother. The people of Qian Yuan Holy Land are not to be bullied by any stray cats or dogs."

Chen Nan chuckled coldly: "Are you insulting your junior brother, saying he's even worse than stray cats or dogs?"

"You!"

Zhao Rong pointed at Chen Nan: "What kind of hero resorts to verbal sparring? Watch how I teach you a lesson!"

"You think you're worthy of discussing heroism with me?"

"Hmph, you're going to die!"

In his fury, Zhao Rong punched towards Chen Nan's face.

Chen Nan swept his sleeve, deploying the Qiankun Great Shifting. A blast of Gang Wind redirected Zhao Rong's punch to the side, sending one of his followers flying tens of meters away. The follower hit the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood, flipped his eyes, and fainted.

Zhao Rong's face changed drastically. He never expected that his punch would miss Chen Nan and end up hurting his own people instead.

Chen Nan sighed: "Really, since you can't beat me, why bother?"

Seeing Chen Nan about to leave, Zhao Rong furiously charged forward to attack again. But just then, Chen Nan pushed the Black Feathered Chicken, sending it rushing towards Zhao Rong, saying: "Dead chicken, attack and peck him to death."

"Cluck cluck cluck, damn it!"

The Black Feathered Chicken cursed loudly. Being pushed by Chen Nan, it lost balance and had to lunge at Zhao Rong.

Gravity Field!

This was the Black Feathered Chicken's divine skill, which had once cooperated with Chen Nan at the Control Realm to kill off formidable opponents.

When they were only two meters apart, the Black Feathered Chicken suddenly activated this skill. Zhao Rong, unprepared, felt his legs give way, and he knelt down with a thud. Before he could react and stand up, the Black Feathered Chicken was already close, pecking at his face.

"Argh!"

A piercing scream sounded as Zhao Rong was pecked by the chicken.

His already somewhat green face, under the frantic pecking of the Black Feathered Chicken, became a mess of blue and purple patches, with serious areas even bleeding.

However, Zhao Rong was indeed a master of the Earth Penetrating Nine-layered Heaven. Although caught off guard by the Black Feathered Chicken's Gravity Field and subjected to a series of attacks, once he recovered, he quickly set up a defense. But it was too late. The Black Feathered Chicken relentlessly targeted his defenseless areas.

Zhao Rong, a master of the Earth Penetrating Nine-layered Heaven and a genius disciple of Qian Yuan Holy Land, was reduced to jumping around by a chicken in a comically embarrassing state.

As the uproar spread through the courtyard, people from the East Mansion and West Mansion came to join the spectacle.

Before long, even those outside the courtyard came in. Seeing Zhao Rong unable to counter a chicken's attacks left everyone dumbfounded.

This chicken is too wild!

After about the time of an incense stick's burn, Zhao Rong was covered in bruises from the pecking, visible places swollen and bruised.

Especially his eyes, swollen into slits, almost completely hiding his pupils.

The Black Feathered Chicken knew limits too. After all, the opponent was a disciple of Qian Yuan Holy Land, so it didn't go for the kill. If it really killed him, Qian Yuan Holy Land would not let it slide.

"What a chicken, amazing!"

"It's simply a Divine Chicken!"

Around them, dozens of people pointed and chattered about the Black Feathered Chicken.

"Damn it, have you never seen such a handsome chicken? What are you staring at? Get lost, go home and look at your sisters!" The Black Feathered Chicken cursed as it flared its wings, charging angrily at Chen Nan: "You wretched boy, I'm not done with you!"

It felt used after being pushed by Chen Nan to fight. Naturally, Chen Nan wouldn't bicker with it, laughing and saying: "Chicken bro, you've worked hard. I'll handsomely reward you later!"

The Black Feathered Chicken crowed, ready to extort conditions, but just then—

"Who are you to dare hurt people of Qian Yuan Holy Land? Are you tired of living?" A deep voice came from above. A man slowly descended from mid-air, standing on a flying sword, glaring at Chen Nan and the Black Feathered Chicken.

The Black Feathered Chicken cursed: "What do you mean who are we? Are you blind? Do I look like a human?"

"You!"

The man's face turned cold, with killing intent in his eyes.

The people Qian Yuan Holy Land dispatched, aside from followers, included genius disciples of each age.

Ye Tianlong was over twenty, Zhao Rong over thirty, and this man in front was in his forties, the top genius of that age group, with cultivation at the Tongtian First Layer Heaven.

He glanced at Chen Nan and the Black Feathered Chicken, one at the Earth Penetration Fifth Layer, the other at the Earth Penetration Sixth Layer, and sneered: "If you willingly go to martial arts and kowtow to apologize, I might spare your lives. Otherwise, there's only a dead end."

"Screw it, will you die if you stop being an idiot?" the Black Feathered Chicken retorted irritably.

Angered, the man said: "You wretched beast, dare to speak to me like this? I, Long Aotian, will decapitate you today!"

The Black Feathered Chicken swaggered, full of rogue aura: "Come on, let Chicken Lord peck you to death!"

Chen Nan intercepted the Black Feathered Chicken, stepped forward, and looked at Long Aotian, saying: "I don't want trouble. If you step aside, I'll let it go. But if you insist on picking a fight, you'll regret coming to this Genius City."

"Such boastful words!"

Long Aotian summoned a spell with his hand, enlarging a flying sword a hundredfold into a giant sword, and slashing it down over Chen Nan's head, shouting: "When I cut off your head, you'll understand true strength!"

"Buzz…"

The Sword Qi surged, and the giant sword exuded layers of Killing Aura, slashing towards Chen Nan.

Everyone at the scene held their breath in worry for Chen Nan.

A martial artist at the Earth Penetration Fifth Layer facing a cultivator at the Tongtian First Layer, the disparity in strength was too great, leaving no chance of victory.

Hundreds of onlookers were there, but none favored Chen Nan.

After all, the gap in realms was too evident.

Everyone thought this arrogant young martial artist, despite his extraordinary talent, would inevitably be shattered into pieces by Long Aotian's sword, leaving not even a trace of a corpse.

What a pity for such a rare martial arts prodigy!

Many sighed inwardly, but no one dared to stop Long Aotian from killing. Qian Yuan Holy Land's power was not to be trifled with.

However, just as everyone thought Chen Nan was doomed—

"Shhh…"

A beam of slashing energy soared into the sky.

Chen Nan flicked his finger skyward, the Sky-cutting Sword Finger resonating, and with a "clang," it swept across the descending giant sword. A cracking sound ensued, a deep scar appeared on the giant sword. Then, Chen Nan kicked off, launching himself like a cannonball into the sky.

"Crack…"

His punch landed, flesh colliding with the giant sword.

A crisp shatter echoed, and the sword, compromised by new and old damage, exploded into pieces.

"This…"

All onlookers were dumbfounded, jaws dropping to the ground in shock.
