Dashing Student-Chapter 599, Who Said I’m Dead?

The entire venue was instantaneously shrouded in deathly silence, as if time itself had frozen at that moment.

The air felt as though it had been sucked dry, suffocatingly oppressive to the point of breathlessness.

Everyone's eyes were bulging like brass bells, fixed tightly on Chen Nan's blood-soaked body, not daring to breath heavily, for fear of breaking the eerie tranquility.

"Chen Nan... is dead?" a young martial artist's lips trembled uncontrollably.

"This... This is a terrifying slash that could even split the heavens and earth, how can Chen Nan have any chance of survival against such an attack?" someone muttered in a low voice from the crowd, filled with shock and a helpless sigh of resignation.

Lin Yu stood to one side, his previously tense and twisted expression relaxed in an instant, replaced by an uncontrollable frenzy of ecstasy.

His eyes were bulging out roundly, as if they were about to pop out of his sockets, his facial muscles convulsed violently with excitement, like wriggling earthworms.

"Dead, he's finally dead!"

His voice squeezed out from the depths of his throat, starting as a suppressed chuckle, like the hooting of a night owl, then growing louder and more hysterical.

As if to vent out all the fear and pressure that had built up in his heart because of Chen Nan.

Hu Ba, holding his long saber, stood upright at his spot, but already seeming somewhat unsteady.

He was gasping for air heavily, his chest heaving violently, like a worn-out bellows in a storm.

His clothes, soaked with sweat and blood, clung tightly to his scarred body, with every crease seemingly recounting the brutality of the battle.

In his eyes, there was the exhaustion and debilitation after overcoming a powerful enemy, but also an undeniable hint of disbelief.

Looking at Chen Nan, his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

In this battle, he had given his all.

After stepping into the realm of a Great Grandmaster, he assumed he could easily cut down Chen Nan, but the actual fight turned out to be several times tougher than he had imagined.

"Hero Hu is powerful! Truly worthy of a newly promoted Great Grandmaster, to have slain such a formidable opponent as Chen Nan!" someone in the crowd shouted first, breaking the brief silence.

This shout, like lighting the fuse of an explosive, set off a surge of cheering and admiring exclamations, wave after wave, tirelessly.

The crowd converged around Hu Ba, surrounding him completely, their gazes filled with awe and admiration as if he were a deity controlling everything.

In their eyes, Hu Ba had indeed become an unquestionable top contender in Jianghu, and his name would be immortalized in its annals.

Hu Ba slightly lifted his head, looking towards the sky, as the dark clouds began to slowly disperse, and sunshine, sharp as a sword, pierced through the gaps in the clouds and scattered onto the earth.

However, there was not a trace of joy in his heart.

Although he appeared to have won the battle, he knew deep down that Chen Nan's strength far surpassed his expectations.

If not for the fortuitous breakthrough into the realm of a Great Grandmaster, if not for the desperate "Seven Absolute Slash" he executed at the last moment, he might have already lost his life to Chen Nan's hands.

Just then, a voice full of playfulness, like a meteor crossing the night sky, slowly rose: "Who said I was dead?"

That voice, like a sudden clap of thunder, exploded above the heads of the people.

Those who had been immersed in the belief of Chen Nan's death were, as if struck by an immobilization spell, their smiles freezing on their faces, and their cheers came to an abrupt halt.

Everyone's gaze seemed to be drawn by an invisible hand, uniformly turning towards Chen Nan.

Chen Nan stood there quietly, like a towering mountain, emanating an aura that was unfathomable.

Bloodstains marred his face, dark red trails of blood lingering on his cheeks.

However, those stains could not hide the blazing light flickering in his eyes, like flames burning so intensely that no one dared look directly at them.

"How... how is this possible?" A burst of astonished cries erupted from the crowd, filled with shock and fear.

Some people staggered backwards, their steps in disarray, nearly falling to the ground, their eyes filled with terror and disbelief as if they had seen the most unbelievable thing in the world.

"He... he's still alive after sustaining such an attack, how did he do it? How can he still be alive?" The crowd buzzed with discussions, their voices filled with confusion and bewilderment, utterly shocked by Chen Nan's survival.

"Is he a man or a ghost?"

The ecstatic expression on Lin Yu's face vanished in an instant, as if swept away by a raging wind, replaced by extreme fear.

His legs turned to jelly, as if the bones had been pulled out, and he nearly collapsed to the ground.

His eyes bulged almost out of their sockets, staring at Chen Nan with fear and despair, as if Chen Nan was a demon crawled out from Hell, about to drag him into the endless abyss.

"No, this can't be! You're already dead, how can you still be alive!" He screamed hysterically, his voice sharp and piercing, cutting through the quiet air.

Hu Ba's pupils shrank suddenly, his gaze becoming as sharp as an eagle's, as if he could see through everything.

He instinctively gripped the long knife in his hand, his knuckles turning white from the force, the blade trembling slightly, whether from post-battle fatigue or the tension of this unexpected situation.

He stared intently at Chen Nan, his voice low and wary as if squeezing out every word through clenched teeth: "Chen Nan, are you a man or a ghost? How did you survive my Seven Absolute Slash?"

Chen Nan gently raised his hand, his slender fingers slowly wiping away the bloodstain at the corner of his mouth, his movements elegant and composed.

Then, he revealed a mysterious smile, as if it contained endless secrets, elusive to comprehend.

"You think by reaching the realm of Great Grandmaster you can easily take my life?" Chen Nan's voice was low and calm, yet it carried an invisible oppression, resonating in the air, making one's eardrums tremble.

His tone was unflustered, as if stating a fact as straightforward as can be, yet it conveyed a sense of contempt from on high.

Before his words had faded, the aura around him suddenly changed.

A powerful and mystical force burst forth from within his body, like a slumbering dragon abruptly awakening, its roar shaking the heavens, causing the world to change its hue.

His robes fluttered with no breeze, rustling about, the ground beneath him cracked, and small pebbles floated up as though lifted by an invisible force, circling around him.

"What... what kind of power is this?" Someone in the crowd couldn't help but exclaim.

They had never seen such a terrifying presence, as if deities descended from ancient times had arrived, inspiring reverence in people's hearts.

Hu Ba's expression turned even more grave, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

He could clearly sense the immense strength of the power emanating from Chen Nan.

It was far from the simplicity displayed during their earlier combat.

This force seemed to come from ancient times, causing a strong unrest to surge in his heart!
