My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 357 Heart-Piercing Nail

In the dense forest.

The tall and fat Shang Huan seemed to have springs under his feet; with a light tap, he would suddenly spring forward.

Like a huge yet agile ball, it constantly ricochets within the dense forest, darting through complex environments and moving forward rapidly.

The next moment, his expression suddenly changed, and his obese figure moved rapidly to the left half a meter without warning.

Woo!
A streak of dark light flew past his right arm.

The strong wind, like a blade, easily tore his sleeve.

A pale blue streak of light descended from the sky, striking Shang Huan directly in front of him. A shockwave rippled outwards, swirling up fragments of leaves.

Zhao Shaoyuan looked at Shang Huan in surprise: "You actually managed to dodge the Black Iron Heart-Piercing Nail?"

Shang Huan's eyes widened, and her heart sank to the bottom.

It’s over!

Before he could see who it was, the black light pierced through Shang Huan's chest.

But the next moment, Shang Huan, whose chest had been pierced, vanished completely. He himself appeared two meters away, panting heavily.

"what?"

"You practice the Divine Speed ​​Technique? No wonder you ran the farthest." Zhao Shaoyuan suddenly realized.

He calmly raised his hand, a dark light swirling around it, and a palm-length, thick, black cone appeared in his palm.

"Wait!" Shang Huan shouted in a panic, "I'll give you anything you want. I'll tell you anything you want to know!"

Zhao Shaoyuan raised an eyebrow: "Really?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Shang Huan nodded vigorously.

"I won't listen!" Zhao Shaoyuan said coldly.

A flash of dark light appeared in mid-air and then disappeared.

Shang Huan's figure shattered again, and he reappeared two meters to the right, his face deathly pale.
Zhao Shaoyuan scoffed. "Your six companions are all tough guys; they were beaten half to death but didn't utter a word. You think you'd tell the truth?"

He immediately put on an expression that said, "You're trying to mislead me with false information, aren't you? Ha!"

Shang Huan: "..."

I'm seriously surrendering!

Woo!
Accompanied by a low, whistling sound, the dark light rapidly magnified before Shang Huan's eyes.

Damn it!

With your IQ, how the hell did you become the deputy director of the inspection bureau?!

"You can't touch me!" Shang Huan shouted as she dodged rapidly. "Let me tell you, I have powerful backers! If you touch me, you're finished too!"

"A powerful backer?" Zhao Shaoyuan said calmly, "Ha! I don't believe it!"

woo woo woo...

You should at least listen to what I say before you do anything!
Maybe we're even on the same side!
Shang Huan cursed inwardly, her neck turning bright red.

But with just a slight distraction, he accidentally stepped on a broken leaf. The slightly slippery feeling made Shang Huan's expression change drastically.

Oops!
Before he could adjust his posture, the Heart-Piercing Nail had already appeared on his chest.

He instinctively closed his eyes.

My heart was filled with regret.

I shouldn't have done this business.

So much white jade I haven't even had a chance to enjoy yet! Not only am I getting a free profit, but I'm also going to lose my life!
boom!
A muffled thud rang in my ears.

The expected pain did not occur.

Shang Huan opened one of her small eyes.

The jet-black nail was stuck straight up against his chest.

A pale, hollowed-out sphere, resembling a bone carving, appeared out of thin air, firmly blocking the nail that had been driven into the heart.

"I heard you have a powerful backer, who is it?" A completely emotionless voice rang in my ears.

Shang Huan turned her head and saw a pale white mask.

Upon meeting those calm eyes, Shang Huan froze.

"You're not talking about me, are you?" Chen Mu stared at Shang Huan with ill intent.

The six siblings of Wushan were all ruthless characters; even though they were beaten half to death, they didn't utter a single word about him.

This fatso isn't hurt at all, yet he's offering to surrender?!

Ah!
"No, no, no!" Shang Huan shook his head like a rattle-drum.

"You have other backers?" Chen Mu asked, glancing sideways.

"Yes, yes, yes... no, no, no!" Shang Huan's forehead was covered in even more sweat.

Chen Mu snorted coldly, ignoring the fat man, and looked at Zhao Shaoyuan opposite him.

……

"I didn't expect we actually caught a big fish." Zhao Shaoyuan stared at Chen Mu with great interest.

"He saved someone and didn't run away?"

"You don't think my Heart-Piercing Nail is that simple, do you?" Zhao Shaoyuan shook his head and chuckled.

Chen Mu remained silent.

next moment.

The Yin Cuo Yue Blade suddenly appeared behind Zhao Shaoyuan, silently slashing towards his neck.

Ding!
A flash of dark light, and the Heart-Piercing Nail appeared before Yin Cuo as if by teleportation. The edge of the Moon Blade collided with the sharp tip of the Heart-Piercing Nail!
Sparks fly!

He dodged and weaved left and right, launching several attacks, but each time his attacks were blocked by the Heart-Piercing Nail.

Ignoring the firelight around him, Zhao Shaoyuan calmly looked Chen Mu up and down.

"Hidden and furtive, with an eerie atmosphere. It seems the mysterious deaths on the mountain really were your doing."

"Double happiness!" Zhao Shaoyuan's lips curled up.

Suddenly his brows furrowed

"Wait a minute, this outfit...it sounds familiar."

"You wouldn't happen to be the mysterious person who killed the Sun family's descendants, would you?!" Zhao Shaoyuan's eyes lit up.

"If I were to give you to Elder Sun, he would surely reward me handsomely!"

"Haha! Three happy events!" Zhao Shaoyuan grinned, revealing a set of snow-white teeth, his eyes red with excitement!

"My Black Iron Heart-Piercing Nail is forged from the dark rock iron from the earth's core, and has been refined with my magical power day after day for decades. Its power is comparable to that of legendary magic weapons!"

"Since I perfected this magical artifact, I've never used it at full power." He stared at Chen Mu with malice: "You're lucky to die by my Heart-Piercing Nail!"

"The three elements unite as one, heaven and earth are boundless, gather the heart!"

The palm-sized Heart-Piercing Nail suddenly burst forth with a vast expanse of eerie blue flame.

A wave of heat swept over us, distorting the very air.

Chen Mu's expression changed.

We've met our match!

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Shaoyuan was enveloped in a dark blue light, his face shimmering with a bluish hue.

He gave Chen Mu a sinister smile, then suddenly shouted, "Escape!"

The next moment, a burst of blue light flashed!

Chen Mu's vision blurred, and his heart seemed to skip a beat in fright!
He unleashed a torrent of energy, spiritual light and armor, and a series of unexpected events all at once.

Just as his muscles tensed, preparing to receive the impact.

Instead of the menacing Zhao Shaoyuan, he shot into the sky like a rocket, riding on a dark blue flame, and in the blink of an eye, he became a small blue dot on the horizon.

Chen Mu: “…”

"Run...run away?!" Shang Huan was dumbfounded.

Chen Mu, behind the mask, had an indescribable expression.

I never expected this...

All that tough talk you just said, was it all just an act?!

I thought it was some amazing move! Turns out it's just a rocket launcher?
Chen Mu gritted his teeth. This Heart-Piercing Nail of yours is really something else!

……

The sky ten miles away.

Zhao Shaoyuan was enveloped in a dark blue flame, his face as pale as paper, his magical power rapidly depleting, yet he dared not stop in the slightest.

The Heart-Piercing Nail was his greatest asset.

But they had no way to deal with the other party.

He'd have to be stupid to stay put and fight to the death.

“That person is definitely connected to those seven smugglers. As long as we tell Elder Hu this, we can follow the clues and find the masked man.” Zhao Shaoyuan was overjoyed.

This is a great achievement!
Then he looked up and saw that the tip of the Heart-Piercing Nail, which had been cutting through the air and carrying him forward, had shattered at some point.

Zhao Shaoyuan felt so sorry for him that he almost cried.

"How could that dark moon blade be so sharp? It was only a few slashes, and my Heart-Piercing Nail is gone!"

"The Sun family must make up for this loss, double the amount!"

"And that masked man!"

"You just wait. Once I fly back to the mountaintop and find Elder Hu, once I capture your true form, I'll see how I deal with you!"

Just as he was lost in his fantasies, a faint, mournful sound of ghosts wailing and howling suddenly reached his ears.

Zhao Shaoyuan quickly looked back, but did not see anyone.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, a strange, wailing sound suddenly erupted from above.

He quickly looked up.

Then a giant man, four and a half meters tall, burst through the clouds and came into view.

The other person had indigo skin, bulging muscles all over their body, and blood-red eyes, looking like a demon!
He raised both hands high, holding a three-meter-long crescent-shaped black sword between them.

Trailing thick black smoke, it crashed down in front of him like a meteor from outer space.

Zhao Shaoyuan only had time to pull back the Heart-Piercing Nail to block in front of his head.

bass!
Black light flashed.

The piercing nail was instantly severed.

Zhao Shaoyuan's eyes widened in disbelief.

puff!
He was instantly cut in two.

Blood splattered, but before it could scatter and fall, it was enveloped by a cloud of black smoke and swallowed up in the blink of an eye.

Chen Mu's body shrank rapidly, and he activated his escape technique to the fullest extent. With a strange howl, he tore through the white clouds in the sky and instantly disappeared into the dense forest of Dongling.
