Chapter 675 - The Time it Takes an Incense to Burn
The faces of the authorities were filled with disbelief.
“What’s going on?”
“Why are the two treasures chasing Duan Qing!”
“How could the situation develop like this!”
Even Progenitor Wen Dao and the others, who had witnessed countless extraordinary occurrences throughout their lives, were left speechless seeing the jaw-dropping scene before them.
It was even harder for the cultivators on the altar to accept the reality.
Such a bizarre scene completely blew their minds!
For a while, they were stunned in place while staring blankly as the chase took place.
“Absorb!”
Qin Nan took a hold of the opportunity when the Heavenly Fortune Talisman was still turning the corner to reach out his hand and grab the wills of the Martial Progenitors.
The wills of the Martial Progenitors shuddered violently, and instead of resisting his grip, they turned out to be extremely excited.
Whoosh!
The wills of the Martial Progenitors entered Qin Nan’s body.
As Qin Nan thought, as soon as the will entered his body, an absorption force took place as the wills absorbed five hundred streams of Chaos Qi each. When it was trying to absorb more, Qin Nan immediately restricted its access to the Chaos Qi.
“Not bad…”
Qin Nan let out a sigh of relief.
If the wills of the Martial Progenitors were to absorb all of his Chaos Qi, he would be infuriated for sure.
At that instant, Qin Nan could feel his scalp going numb.
As he was busy acquiring the wills of the Martial Progenitors, the Heavenly Fortune Talisman had sped up and charged toward him.
Qin Nan immediately kicked the ground and had a near miss with the Heavenly Fortune Talisman. He did not dare to stay any longer and quickly positioned himself a distance away from it with the help of his left eye.
“Gong Yang, Zhao Fang, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and catch it!”
Qin Nan glanced at the crowd and was speechless after seeing them daydreaming.
Gong Yang and Zhao Fang were suspicious whether they had heard it wrong. What was Qin Nan saying? Did he really want to give up on the Heavenly Fortune Talisman despite its value?
As Qin Nan saw the duo showed no sign of moving, he immediately yelled at the crowd, “What the hell are you waiting for! Hurry up and take it!”
The crowd collected their thoughts after hearing the yell.
Their usually sharp thinking completely broke down at that instant.
Duan Qing...was asking them to take the Heavenly Fortune Talisman?
At this particular moment!
The Heavenly Fortune Talisman seemed to be aware of something, which let out a buzz like a raging roar and emitted a mystical glow, causing its speed to increase tremendously. Qin Nan could not dodge it in time, and watched it enter his forehead.
“Crap!”
Qin Nan was startled, and immediately began to suppress his Chaos Qi.
As soon as the Heavenly Fortune Talisman went into Qin Nan’s body, it uttered a pleasant buzz like a fish returning to a pond. It then absorbed three thousand streams of the Chaos Qi without mercy.
It continued to absorb as if it was far from feeling satisfied.
“You dare!”
Qin Nan became enraged and snapped ferociously.
This Heavenly Fortune Talisman was extremely cunning! It was planning to steal all of his Chaos Qi!
The Heavenly Fortune Talisman shuddered slightly. Its glow inflated and became calm at times as if it was struggling to make a decision. A moment later, it finally calmed down.
“Mm? It seems like this Heavenly Fortune Talisman is not as crazy as those Dao-Seeking Fish…”
Qin Nan was slightly startled, who quickly adjusted his thoughts.
Who would say no to free treasures?
As long as the Heavenly Fortune Talisman was not doing anything bold, he wouldn’t mind keeping it.
Finally, the authorities and the cultivators recovered from their astonishment.
Duan Qing!
He had obtained all three treasures on the altar!
“Damn it!”
Progenitor Wen Dao and the rest were wearing dark expressions. Surges of murderous intent could be seen from their eyes. Even though the entire process was extremely strange, the only thing that mattered now was that asshole had taken the Heavenly Fortune Talisman!
“Nice! Great job!”
The Sky-Scorching Emperor, the Kingdom Protector Black Tortoise, and the Blood-Winged Vermilion Bird were overjoyed.
Duan Qing had acquired the Heavenly Fortune Talisman!
In other words, the Sky-Scorching Emperor was going to have another terrifying genius! The rise of the Sky-Scorching Emperor was within their grasp!
...Meanwhile, in the Ancient Battlefield, on the altar...
The eyes of the crowd turned extremely cold.
“Duan Qing! Hand over the Heavenly Fortune Talisman at once!”
“You dare to take all the treasures!”
“Hand it over now! Otherwise, death will be the consequence!”
At that instant, icy murderous auras swept the altar.
With Zhu Hang leading them, the cultivators glared coldly at Qin Nan as they approached him. They soon surrounded him from all directions, leaving him no opportunity to escape.
Obviously, if Qin Nan did not accept their demands, they would all attack at once!
Qin Nan showed no trace of fear, whose eyes displayed a great determination instead.
Since the Heavenly Fortune Talisman had not taken too much Chaos Qi from him, and it was currently inside his body, it now belonged to him. Therefore, if these people were planning to rob it...
Bring it on!
Meanwhile, following a whoosh, the illusionary figure appeared on the altar once again.
“The Heavenly Fortune Talisman, the wills of the Martial Progenitors, and the scroll are now in Duan Qing’s hands. From now onward, within the period it takes an incense to burn, if you are able to defeat Duan Qing, the competition for the treasures will start all over again. If not, the treasures will belong to Duan Qing!”
Qin Nan raised his eyebrows after hearing the words.
He did not expect that he would still need to survive for the period it took an incense to burn after acquiring the treasures.
The crowd was startled by the words, who immediately collected their thoughts.
A greater murderous aura was emitted!
Within the period it took an incense to burn?
With all of them joining forces, they could easily defeat Duan Qing in no time!
The joy on the faces of the Sky-Scorching Emperor and his crew froze.
Crap!
Qin Nan was only an eighth-layer Martial Highness, and he was all by himself.
Facing him were Yang Gong, Yu Luosha, Zhu Hang, the Lone Eagle, etc., and tens of powerful rogue cultivators.
There was no way Qin Nan could face them all at the same time!
Meanwhile, Progenitor Wen Dao and the others became joyful. They had never thought that Duan Qing would still need to guard the treasures after acquiring them.
In other words...they still had a chance!
...The Ancient Battlefield...
“HAHAHA! Duan Qing, who would have thought it would come down to this!” Zhu Hang burst out laughing with a hideous expression, “I’ll make sure you have a taste of the agony that you’ve given me. Everyone...attack!”
Following this, the cultivators began to charge forward with formidable auras like an army!
