The hemp-robed old man smiled coldly. “Since when it is your turn to take it? This brat snatched our Primal Essence Nature Pill. We have an irreconcilable grudge with him.”
“You’d best wise up. When I execute my Army Killing Fist to its limits, even if the four of you work together, you will all get blasted to bits.”
The middle-aged man clenched his fist, and crackling sounds echoed. Many elite soldiers disintegrated on the scarlet military token and turned into boundless killing Qi.
Meng Bai laughed loudly and demanded, “Do you take me for a fool? If you dare to use your Army Killing Fist to its limits, you will turn into an idiot from your own killing Qi even before your enemies die!”
“This Xiao Chen is really in great demand now. Everyone wants to kill me and trample on me to spread their fame around. However, do you think that you are worthy of taking my head?”
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes, looking coldly at the six men as a layer of black Death Qi shrouded his entire body.
The Cycle Banner in his sea of consciousness opened, and Merak, which had fused with the Death Throne, sent out surging Death Qi like a gushing river, steady and unending.
This Death Qi instantly blocked the Death Qi coming from the sword, and then it flowed into the sword without stopping.
Meng Bai and the others immediately sensed something wrong. They saw the other eight swords buzzing, and the black sword Qi lingering in the air strengthened slowly, nearly solidifying.
“Damn! This brat wants to boost the might of this sword formation, killing us all!”
The hemp-robed old man’s expression changed. Initially, he only needed to wave the flame fan gently to shatter the sword Qi. Unexpectedly, it became incredibly hard to break now, requiring up to five attempts before he could eliminate the sword Qi.
“Kill him. We cannot let him continue doing this!”
After the others sensed the danger, they either sent out their Secret Treasures or used their killing moves. All sorts of multicolored attacks with horrifying might flew at Xiao Chen.
With so many grandmaster-level Martial Sages attacking together, Xiao Chen would be in an even worse state than the old man who had preceded him if he got struck, regardless of his current physical body.
However, they did not know that the sword that Xiao Chen held was the king of the swords in this sword formation; it ruled the other eight swords.
Anyone who wanted to kill Xiao Chen would have to face strands of sword Qi ten times—a hundred times—stronger.
Death Qi from the Cycle Banner poured in continuously. The sword in Xiao Chen’s hand released a black light into the sky, suppressing the treasure light of the white wings inside the formation.
“Chi! Chi! Chi!”
Sword images spewed out like a flash flood, rumbling endlessly. The cries of countless aggrieved spirits merged together. Thousand of swords surged out, pushing back the killing moves of Meng Bai and the others, forcing them to retreat in sorry states.
“Xiao Chen, if you have guts, fight fairly with this old man. This old man will blast you apart with one punch!” the middle-aged man roared furiously. As his Army Killing Fist was a close combat technique, he suffered the heaviest injuries from the Death Qi in the previous wave of attacks.
The hemp-robed old man and Meng Bai had unsightly expressions. As they faced the increasingly stronger Death sword Qi in the air, they stared at Xiao Chen with clenched teeth. They hated that they could not tear him into pieces and grind his bones into dust.
The other three of the Black Mountain Four Bandits were weaker in the first place, so their situation was even more precarious.
Xiao Chen smiled coldly and retorted, “A fair fight? Are you not embarrassed to say that? Who was it that fought against me in numbers, becoming Mister Qin’s dogs? You Demonic Brilliant Two Elders deserve what you are going to get. Just wait for the Death sword Qi to suck you dry.”
Facing the strengthening Death sword Qi, the six trapped people found the situation increasingly harder to deal with. All of them had some degree of sword injury on their bodies, their lifeforce significantly drained.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. Just as he about to put in more effort, to send in all the remaining Death Qi of the Cycle Banner into the sword and kill the six in the formation, he sensed strong auras in the palace heading over quickly.
At this moment, black light soared into the sky. Aggrieved spirits roared ferociously and even suppressed the radiance of the treasure. It would be impossible for this sight not to attract other cultivators.
Xiao Chen pulled back decisively, giving up on the chance to kill the six.
He turned into a strand of saber light and charged into the formation. Then he grabbed the white wings in the air at lightning speed, gripping them firmly in his hand.
After losing the Death Qi that Xiao Chen provided, the might of the sword formation immediately stalled. The six grabbed hold of this opportunity to attack together. A loud explosion broke all the sword Qi in the air as they charged out of the restriction.
The eyes of the six turned cold. Ignoring the injuries on their bodies, they chased after Xiao Chen.
“Whoosh!”
Just as the six took their first steps in the direction Xiao Chen had taken, tricolor starlight suddenly shot out, flickering with the light of Massacre, Ruin, and Death. The beam of starlight was as thick as a pillar. With a loud ‘bang,’ it caught the six off guard and knocked them to the ground.
“Reckless! Do you think that I really don’t dare to kill you!”
A cold voice came from the front. Then, Xiao Chen held out his hand, and the Cycle Banner returned as he looked at the six people with their lifeforce damaged by the Death sword Qi.
The six were startled when they realized their situation. They were not even at half strength, nor had they eliminated the Death Qi in their bodies.
The six were probably not a match for Xiao Chen at this moment. They immediately turned tail, riding on their King Grade Secret Treasures.
Xiao Chen had purposely scared the six away. Then, Lord Jiu sneaked out and smiled. “Brother Xiao, you are really awesome. You managed to scare away six grandmaster-level Martial Sages.”
Xiao Chen put away his Cycle Banner and said, “Go, quick! Someone is coming!”
His sudden pullback had not been an impulse. Instead, it was because experts that heard the commotion were coming over.
Xiao Chen executed Thunder Dragon Steps and hastily left the place together with Lord Jiu.
Soon after, a large group of people arrived. Without exception, they were all grandmaster-level Martial Sages, including experts on the same level as the Demonic Brilliant Two Elders.
When these people saw the empty sword formation, they revealed regretful expressions. They were one step too late. Someone had finally managed to subdue one of the ten Magic Treasures that were equal to peak King Grade Secret Treasures.
After Xiao Chen and Lord Jiu traveled for some time, they came to a small restriction. When they saw no one chasing them, they heaved sighs of relief.
With a flip on his hand, the pair of white wings appeared in Xiao Chen’s grasp.
The wings spread out, reaching a length of ten meters. Dense tufts of feathers covered the frame, at least ten thousand of them.
Xiao Chen scrutinized the wings. The crystalline white feathers glowed a faint white. A gentle wind blew, ruffling the feathers.
Each feather had small engravings on them with Immortal Qi flowed within. Xiao Chen could taste freedom from it, as if wearing these wings would let him go anywhere, no matter how vast the world was.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen cried out. After he sent his Spiritual Sense into the feathers, his expression changed. Every one of these feathers was actually a small Magic Treasure equal to a King Grade Secret Treasure.
Which was to say, this pair of wings was made up of ten thousand small Magic Treasures equal to King Grade Secret Treasures. When he examined the frame, he found that it was infused with at least a thousand types of divine materials, each weighing at least five tons.
“White Robed King Xiao Chen, your fame is well deserved. You managed to snatch a treasure from the Demonic Brilliant Two Elders and Black Mountain Four Bandits, and even scared them into not chasing after you.
“This is truly the overweening arrogance of someone who dared to kill in the presence of a Martial Emperor!”
Xiao Chen’s expression turned cold as he quickly put away the white wings, going into high alert. He had taken a lot of care along the way and used his Spiritual Sense to monitor his surroundings. How could someone have followed him?
The restriction in front broke. A mirror appeared in its place and split down the middle like water parting. Two youths and an old man stepped through the opening and into Xiao Chen’s line of sight.
Xiao Chen recognized one of the two youths—the Profound Water Sect’s Ji Zong, who once tried to kill him but ran scared when grandmaster-level Martial Sages made their moves.
The other youth looked very handsome. After the group walked out of the parting, the two sides merged back into one and turned into a smooth mirror that fell into the unfamiliar youth’s hands.
People of the Profound Water Sect?
The Profound Water Sect’s Sect Master had issued a bounty on Xiao Chen in the Heavenly Starry Ocean, so it was not surprising that the disciples of the Profound Water Sect came for revenge.
The mirror in the hand of the youth beside Ji Zong was probably responsible for hiding their auras.
Ji Zong was not a cause for concern; Xiao Chen could deal with him in one move. The more problematic ones were the youth beside him and the blue-robed Profound Water Sect elder.
However, these people were just minor trouble.
While Xiao Chen sized the group up, the youth beside Ji Zong was sizing him up as well, showing a strong competitive spirit and intent to fight in his eyes.
The youth shook his head slightly and said, “A peak Rank 3 Sage Body and a cultivation equal to a grandmaster-level Martial Sage. You have many treasures and great Luck. Unfortunately, you will die at my hands, at the hands of Yao Chen.”
Xiao Chen smiled coldly to himself. Of all the conceited people he had met, there had never been anyone on this level. Even Di Wuque would not dare to say something like this.
“The people of the Profound Water Sect all seem to be very conceited. Let’s see what you are worth.”
Xiao Chen’s figure flashed with a step forward. The sound of a rattling saber resounded in the surroundings. The radiance of a bright moon came from him. With the infusion of his saber soul, an absolute sharpness surged out.
He arrived like the wind. With the support of his saber soul, the surging light appeared solid, as though it would pierce through space.
When Yao Chen faced Xiao Chen, who suddenly erupted with speed, he frowned slightly, a somewhat shocked look appearing in his eyes. However, he did not move his feet. He simply looked coldly at Xiao Chen as if viewing a corpse.
The blue-robed old man at the back took a step forward. With only this step, a thunderous sound of gushing water surged into the area.
A formless wave turned into huge pressure. The air became like water, pressing on Xiao Chen wave after wave.
As the air became like water, Xiao Chen became like the reflection in water; his figure turned hazy and blurry. He found it very difficult to take a step forward; in fact, it felt like he was moving backward, getting farther away from Yao Chen.
That’s not right. The strength of this old man is at most equal to that of the Demonic Brilliant Two Elders. Why am I feeling such great pressure?
Xiao Chen calmly analyzed in his heart. Then he glanced around and saw the calm Yao Chen as well as the mirror flowing with an aqueous light in Yao Chen’s palm.
The mirror reflected a holy river that was like a berserk dragon howling endlessly as it cut across the entire world.
The mirror!
The problem is in the mirror!
“Bang!”
The blue-robed old man easily raised his hand in the aqueous space. Then he clashed with Xiao Chen’s move, which was suppressed, knocking Xiao Chen back with one punch.
Xiao Chen’s bones gave off cracking sounds like they would get crushed by the waves at any moment.
