Chapter 877 - Odd of Success—Two Tenths
As Qin Nan glanced downward at the cliff behind the mountain where the battle was taking place, he could see a tremendous demonic aura, which felt like only the tip of an iceberg, as if a peerless demon had opened its murderous mouth, trying to devour anything that got close to it.
“Who would have thought that the Skycloud Mountain Range would have such a terrifying place! What exactly is the masked man trying to do by luring them here?” With the help of the golden seal, Qin Nan swiftly collected his thoughts as he broke free from the influence of the demonic aura. His eyes were filled with a confused expression.
Meanwhile, the masked man was constantly knocked back by the continuous attacks of the two geniuses of the half-G.o.d region and the Dark Tribute Progenitor. Wounds could be seen on his body, which began to produce a buzzing sound, as streams of black Qi were unleashed.
It felt like if the battle continued, his entire body would evaporate.
“If you three decide to not back off, I’ll jump straight into the Ancient Demon Abyss and bury the treasures with me. There’s no way you are getting them!” The masked man uttered a ferocious roar with a hint of madness.
“The Ancient Demon Abyss?” Qin Nan was startled. Was that the name of the forbidden area?
“HAHAHA!”
One of the geniuses burst out laughing, “As the guardian spirit, how could you bring the treasures with you into the Ancient Demon Abyss before finding their owner? Do you really think we’re that stupid?”
The masked man became silent.
Obviously, he did not expect that the genius of the half-G.o.d region would know his secret.
As the young man had mentioned, as the guardian spirit of the treasure, it was not allowed to relocate the treasure, or bring it to a different place prior to finding its owner. It was the rule that he had to obey.
If he disobeyed it, not only would his existence be erased, the treasure would return to its initial position too.
If that happened, the treasure would definitely end up in their hands!
“Master, I’ve no other choice. If that’s the case, I shall fight for my life until the very end…” The masked man murmured before he unleashed a roar, absorbing the surrounding demonic aura to execute his attack.
The reason he had come to the Ancient Demon Abyss was to threaten his enemies, and use the demonic aura to unleash his attacks.
“Humph!”
The two geniuses and the Dark Tribute Progenitor continued to attack.
In their opinion, the masked man’s efforts were completely useless. It was only a matter of time until they managed to defeat him.
“This isn’t good. At this rate, the masked man can only hold on for another incense’s time! After that, he will be killed by the trio!” Qin Nan inhaled a breath upon seeing this, “I have to come up with a plan. Either way, I have to acquire the treasure left by the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch…”
Qin Nan squinted as he pondered.
Suddenly, his eyes flickered as he came up with a plan.
“According to the words of the masked man, even the two geniuses and the Dark Tribute Progenitor would not dare enter the Ancient Demon Abyss. Otherwise, he would not threaten them with it.”
Qin Nan quickly thought.
“My golden seal is able to resist the demonic aura, thus I should be able to survive in the Ancient Demon Abyss; which means, I can get the Heaven-Shattering Treasure and jump into the Ancient Demon Abyss to secure it from them!”
“But…”
Qin Nan frowned.
The Ancient Demon Abyss was behind where the battle was taking place. Even if he managed to summon the treasure to him, there was no way he could teleport to the entrance of the Ancient Demon Abyss. In other words, the two geniuses and the Dark Tribute Progenitor had plenty of time to react.
On the other hand, Qin Nan could communicate with the masked man and reveal to him that he was the successor of the Heaven-Shattering Saber, which would make him the owner of the Heaven-Shattering Treasure. As such, he could ask the masked man to teleport him to the entrance of the Ancient Demon Abyss.
However, he would need another breath’s time to enter the abyss. Normally, the entrance of the abyss was the weakest spot of the demonic aura, thus it was possible that the two geniuses would have some artifacts that could protect them from the demonic aura for a period of time, allowing them to chase after him.
“Apart from the golden seal, I’ve still got my left arm, the coffin, and the pool of blood. The masked man might be able to hold them off for me too…” Qin Nan mumbled, before his eyes flickered. This was the only way for him.
It was the only chance he could flee with the treasure.
“But…”
“Based on my estimation, the odds of success is only two tenths! Besides, this was established based on my speculation that the masked man is able to teleport me to the entrance of the abyss!”
Qin Nan’s eyes glistened.
A great pressure encapsulated Qin Nan like a giant web.
Two tenths?
How low were the odds!
Furthermore, he had not included other factors, for example the capabilities of the two geniuses, or the potential danger waiting for him in the Ancient Demon Abyss.
With that in mind, the odds of him surviving would be less than two tenths!
This was entirely different than the battle against Yang Song and Xia Hao. If he were to make a wrong move, if he somehow ran out of luck, this would be the end for him!
However, the next moment, Qin Nan’s eyes were filled with insanity.
This world was filled with countless treasures and fortunate encounters waiting to be discovered, but none of them would voluntarily present themselves to him. If he was not willing to take the risk, how would he be able to grow stronger?
How would he be able to enjoy the glory?
Even if he only had a two tenths chance of success!
As a grown man, how could he be intimidated by the risk?
Take the bet!
“Senior…”
Without hesitation, Qin Nan transmitted his voice to the masked man.
The masked man who was fighting against the two geniuses and the Dark Tribute Progenitor suddenly shuddered. The eyes under the mask were filled with astonishment, as he did not expect someone to be hiding not far from them.
His cultivation was at the half-Martial Monarch Realm, and the geniuses of the half-G.o.d region were here too, but none of them had discovered his presence?
“Who are you?” The masked man calmed his thoughts and replied.
“Senior, I’m the successor of the Heaven-Shattering Saber, Qin Nan.” Qin Nan said, “If senior is able to teleport me to the entrance of the Ancient Demon Abyss, I’ll be able to escape with the treasure! Is senior able to do that?”
“What? The successor of the Heaven-Shattering Saber?”
The calmness that the masked man had recovered was instantly replaced with astonishment.
Impossible!
How was that possible!
The successor that the master was looking for actually existed in this world?
