Chapter 189 A Silent Battle   At this moment, the person on the tree seemed to have noticed that Xiang Nan had discovered him. The moment he threw out the short blade, his body turned into a shadow and disappeared.

Xiang Nan pulled out a huge saber and used it to hack down, hitting the incoming short blade.

Clang!!

With a fierce collision, Xiang Nan was knocked back two meters, while the short blade was sent flying.

"What kind of strength is this?" Xiang Nan sucked in a breath of cold air.

In the Nature Sect's First Grade Academy, even if he was one of the strongest, if he used all of his strength, even a third level Origin Returning cultivator would die by his saber.

But now, a first level Origin Reversion martial artist had appeared in the forest. That martial artist was at the same realm as him, but was even more powerful than him?

Could it be that the one who ambushed him was one of the other seven first-class sects?

At this moment, the sense of danger shrouded in death appeared again, and it was right behind him!

The hairs on Xiang Nan's body were about to stand up, because he felt a weak breathing sound, slowly swallowing by his ears.

Xiang Nan grabbed the knife and struck backwards. At the same time, the person standing behind him also grabbed the short blade and slashed towards Xiang Nan's neck.

The giant saber and the short blade met in a narrow space. Both of them were bounced backwards. Xiang Nan took three steps back, while the man took five or six steps back.

Judging from this, in terms of strength alone, that person was actually a bit weaker than Xiang Nan. However, Xiang Nan could not understand why he felt that he had fallen into a disadvantage when fighting against that person.

That person obviously did not expect Xiang Nan's reaction to be so swift, and his martial arts foundation to be so solid.

"Interesting." The man licked his lips and disappeared with a circle around the tree trunk.

Xiang Nan waved his hand and a strand of Yuan Qi shattered the tree trunk. However, there was nothing behind the tree trunk.

"It's not appropriate to stay here for long." Xiang Nan sprinted wildly, his Yuan Qi feathered wings stretched out as he ran, and he was about to fly quickly against the ground.

However, less than two seconds after his Yuan Qi feathered wings condensed, the large wing had just flapped once when it was pierced through by a streak of light! The two Yuan Qi wings instantly dissipated.

When Xiang Nan's body fell, he hurriedly rolled over and landed on the ground before he was able to stand firm.

Looking at the surrounding trees, it was unknown when three people had already stood. Those three people were in front, behind the left, behind the right, wrapping Xiang Nan in a triangle.

"Judging from your techniques, all of you are experts." Xiang Nan clasped his fists and said, "I'm just passing by. If I offend a few people by doing something inappropriate, I'll apologize to them."

The faces of the three people were very strange, and they were all around the age of sixteen or seventeen. Xiang Nan knew that he had definitely not seen them before.

Perhaps he had accidentally intruded into their territory, which was why he had aroused their hostility.

After saying those words, the three of them remained silent, neither answering nor leaving.

Xiang Nan frowned and said, "We have no grievances or grudges. There is no need for us to risk our lives. In this way, I will bypass this area and not disturb everyone's retreat."

As a martial artist, Xiang Nan still had some morality. Since he had collided with someone else, he could just take a step back and accompany him for a while. He could just turn around and leave.

Seeing that the three of them did not react, he turned around and ran towards the east, preparing to take a detour before heading north.

After he ran for more than a hundred meters, he looked back while running. The three people standing on the tree had disappeared.

Xiang Nan heaved a sigh of relief, but before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly felt his head heavy and his feet light. A pair of hands pulled his right ankle, and then the pair of hands threw Xiang Nan out.

"Kill him!" When Xiang Nan was thrown away, a cold and deep voice sounded.

Xiang Nan was grabbed by the ankle and thrown into the sky. His legs were on the top, and his head was hanging upside down. At the same time, a shadow suddenly attacked from behind Xiang Nan's back.

The shadow held a short blade, but it condensed a meter-long Yuan Qi light. By the time Xiang Nan realized it, the light was about to stick to Xiang Nan's back.

Just one foot of light was enough to cut Xiang Nan in the waist.

Xiang Nan did not notice the person who pulled his right leg, and Xiang Nan did not notice how Xiang Nan had come to the person who was about to cut Xiang Nan's waist from behind.

These people were really like ghosts that had appeared for more than half a day. Their actions were silent and without the slightest bit of wind.

At this critical moment, Xiang Nan relied on his strong combat experience to forcefully thrust the giant saber down his back. The blade descended against his flesh and skin, just in time to block the light blade that was about to slash him at the waist.

With a loud bang, the impact from the giant saber sent Xiang Nan flying upside down.

"Eh?" The sneak attacker behind him cried out in surprise. Obviously, he did not expect that Xiang Nan would actually be able to dodge this attack.

However, as Xiang Nan fell forward, another person silently rushed over from the front. The short blade in his hand slid three times in a row, and three silent blades of light slashed towards Xiang Nan.

Xiang Nan turned his saber around in a sorry state, and just as the enemy was about to cut off his neck, he sent the short blade flying.

Although this silent battle was not as spectacular and tragic as the Yuan Qi bombardment, killing intent was hidden everywhere in the silence, shocking and soul-stirring!

Xiang Nan had never experienced such a strange battle before. Every time he judged that the enemy was attacking, he was two times slower!

Fortunately, it was Xiang Nan. If it were any other first-grade academy disciples of the Haoran Sect, they would probably have died countless times.

Xiang Nan felt depressed. He was clearly no weaker than the three of them, but he was unable to determine their attack route! He was unable to fully unleash his own battle rhythm.

"Damn it, are you done?" Xiang Nan was furious and shouted, "I don't even know you. You …"

Before he could finish his words, a cold feeling came from the left.

Xiang Nan forcefully twisted his body in midair. A short blade brushed past Xiang Nan's chin, cutting open a narrow saber edge on his neck. A trace of warm blood slowly flowed down.

"If you want to kill me, don't blame my subordinates for being merciless!" Xiang Nan shook his hand and threw out a full moon saber light.

The person that the saber light was pointing at lightly pointed at the saber light with the tip of his toe and borrowed his strength to ascend.

"What?" Xiang Nan was shocked. This was the first time he saw someone who could step on the blade light with his feet!

The cold feeling behind him caused Xiang Nan to immediately bend forward. Two short blades sliced against his back, and two strands of black hair were sliced off, dancing in the air.

Xiang Nan quickly stood up and grabbed one person's ankle with his left hand, while his right hand held a knife to hack another person's back.

The two of them kicked each other, their feet kicked together and separated at the same time, avoiding Xiang Nan's attack.

Just as they were dodging Xiang Nan's attack, they were actually able to retaliate. Two light blades sliced straight at Xiang Nan's cheek.

Xiang Nan took a flash step around the light blade and grabbed a person's ankle on the spot. Let's see where you run to this time!

Just as Xiang Nan's saber was about to land, the man's body was as soft as a snake. His entire body was wrapped around Xiang Nan's left arm, and the short blade in his hand was about to cut Xiang Nan's neck.
