Chapter 49 Step by step, he was shocked
"Sword light? Essence!" Xiang Nan lowered his head and looked at the long robe cut off from his chest. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
After the sword light missed, it flew out and hit a stone table in the courtyard, as well as the courtyard wall behind it.
"So fast!" Xiang Nan's pupils constricted. Fortunately, his Flash Steps had succeeded, but even so, he was only able to dodge the enemy's attack with the Flash Steps.
Without any time to think, he immediately raised his head and looked into the night sky, trying to find the enemy who had ambushed him.
However, with Xiang Nan's keen perception, he was unable to sense the enemy's Yuan Qi fluctuations, nor was he able to determine the enemy's realm, nor was he able to lock onto the enemy's location.
This situation could only explain one problem, and that was, the enemy's martial arts realm had far surpassed Xiang Nan's!
This was a very common and fatal phenomenon in the world of martial arts.
Realm suppression!
What was realm suppression?
For example, if Xiang Nan was at the Xiantian 1st layer and could release 4,000 jin of power, and his enemy was at the Xiantian 6th layer and could also release 4,000 jin of power, then the one who would lose would be Xiang Nan.
For example, if a rock was compared to a mountain, the material of the rock was the same, the density was the same, and the quality was the same. However, if the two collided, the winner would definitely be the mountain, not the stone.
Every time the enemy was a small realm higher than their own, the effect of realm suppression would become even more obvious.
Why was it that even though Xiang Nan's explosive power was extremely strong, it was still unable to obtain any benefits against Li Qingchuan and Mo Hai? A large part of the reason was because of the suppression of the realm.
"Damn it" Xiang Nan gritted his teeth. He knew that the enemy's realm far surpassed his own. Even if he risked his life, he could not be the enemy's opponent.
As soon as Xiang Nan dodged the first sword light, he jumped onto the wall without hesitation.
The slight tremor caused by his action caused another scene to appear.
The stone table and the courtyard wall that had been sliced by the sword light had previously remained untouched. Now, after a jump from Xiang Nan, they were all broken apart!
The stone table quietly split into two halves and fell to the ground. The wall of the courtyard also collapsed!
This scene caused Xiang Nan's pupils to contract. When the courtyard wall collapsed, he once again jumped onto another wall and prepared to sprint towards the southeast.
Southeast was where his grandfather, Xiang Zhanxiong, was.
The enemy that had come to sneak attack him was at least above the Origin Realm. The only person in the entire the Xiang manor who could save him was probably only Grandfather.
However, the enemy was obviously unwilling to let Xiang Nan off easily. In the blink of an eye, a second sword light came from the night sky!
This second sword light was faster and fiercer than the first! That strong sense of crisis even caused Xiang Nan's muscles to tighten fiercely.
This time, Xiang Nan was prepared in advance. When the second sword light struck, he had already executed the second flash step accurately, and his body turned into an afterimage that cut through the night sky.
The second ray of sword light actually cut off the heel of Xiang Nan's boots! His left boot fell in response.
"The enemy is too fast!" Xiang Nan's heart was beating wildly as he rushed towards his grandfather's house in the night sky.
However, the Xiang manor was huge, and the buildings were scattered in a disorderly manner. There was no path that allowed Xiang Nan to run wildly in a straight line. This forced him to jump back and forth.
The enemies in the darkness clenched their teeth, and vaguely, their blurry shadows flickered under the night sky.
Xiang Nan raised his perception to its limit, unable to sense even the slightest presence of the enemy, as if no enemy had appeared tonight.
Qiang!
With a trembling sound of the sword, a third ray of sword light came!
Just as Xiang Nan's body was soaring into the air, he kicked an ancient tree beside him with his right foot. He executed the Flash Shadow Steps and his body turned into an afterimage again.
The sharp sword light struck the ancient tree and pierced through it. This time, it almost brushed past Xiang Nan's right shoulder.
This time, the sword light was even faster than the last time. Not only did it cut off Xiang Nan's sleeve, it even cut off a small piece of his skin and flesh. Blood immediately soaked out.
It was extremely dangerous! Every move of the enemy made it difficult for Xiang Nan to resist. Even if he used the powerful Flash Steps to dodge, it could also be said to be a step-by-step shock.
"Damn it!" Xiang Nan covered his shoulders and took advantage of the gap between the enemy's attack and the enemy's attack to run frantically towards his grandfather's residence.
He thought to himself, in order to conceal his identity, this enemy didn't even use a single martial skill and used pure Yuan Qi to attack.
This made it impossible for Xiang Nan to determine the origin of the enemy.
"What a fast movement technique."
Suddenly, a hoarse and deep voice came from above Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan's heart trembled. He was so close!
The addiction seemed to come from above Xiang Nan's head, and it sounded more like a soft whisper.
This kind of voice that suddenly sounded in his ears brought great danger to Xiang Nan.
"But … so what? With your tiny Xiantian sixth layer, it's as easy as killing you!"
As soon as the enemy's voice settled, the next attack arrived in an instant.
This time, the enemy unexpectedly chopped out three sword lights in a row!
These three sword lights weren't enormous. Each of them was only a meter long, but the power contained within them was unimaginable.
These three sword lights were extremely vicious, sealing off Xiang Nan's front, left, right, and three other directions.
No matter which direction Xiang Nan dodged in, he would be split in half by the enemy's sword. However, if he stopped in time, he would be able to dodge the sword light, but the enemy would take the opportunity to catch up with him.
In his helplessness, Xiang Nan chose the only path, which was to jump high.
He borrowed the Flash Step to jump 40 to 50 meters tall. Although he had dodged the enemy's attack, this had forced Xiang Nan to another desperate situation at the same time.
There was no point in borrowing power in the air! Xiang Nan's body soared into the air, and he was no longer able to use the Flash Shadow Steps.
In the pitch-black night sky, the enemy's hoarse and sinister laughter slowly drifted over. Immediately after, a fatal sword appeared.
The sword light accurately aimed at Xiang Nan. The bright Yuan Qi pierced through the sky, leaving behind a thick shadow of light.
Xiang Nan couldn't avoid it and couldn't help but let out a sorrowful cry in his heart. Could it be that he was going to die tonight?
"Who dares to hurt my grandson!"
Right at this moment of life and death, a deep roar broke the silence of the night.
Xiang Zhanxiong was shrouded in abundant Yuan Qi and soared into the sky. He clenched his fist with his right hand and punched heavily.
Yuan Qi condensed into a huge fist light. The Yuan Qi fist smashed into the sword light and instantly shattered the sword light.
"Grandfather!" Xiang Nan was overjoyed and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
