Novel Full Chapter 1608
Chapter 1608 (Raw 1590):
Xiao Chen held up the cup, looking pensive. Then, he asked Xiao Suo, "What kind of existence is the Temple Ghost Sect? Xiao Suo, tell me more."
Xiao Suo smiled and replied, "Big Brother, do you really believe what that girl said? I think she came here to snatch the Scarlet Blood War Banner."
Xiao Chen shook his head. "You don't understand women. Although her temperament is slightly poor, not understanding the principles of worldly conduct, her heart is not wicked. Otherwise, before she left, she would not have told me about the Temple Ghost Sect."
Xiao Suo rubbed his head, smiling, and said, "I am just a ruffian. I let Big Brother see me make a joke of myself. However, I know a little about this Temple Ghost Sect. There are many bandit gangs outside the city. They are completely inferior to Rank 2 sects. However, to ordinary people, they are still tyrants."
Xiao Chen gestured for Xiao Suo to continue.
"These gangs typically bully the weak. When they meet disciples of Rank 2 sects, they are very respectful. However, when they meet independent cultivators, they immediately become ferocious."
Xiao Chen already noticed this when he first entered the city.
"Who is Xiao Chen? Get out here!"
Suddenly, an ear-splitting bellow thundered from outside the Idle Cloud Restaurant. This startled everyone drinking in the restaurant. Someone actually dared to challenge Xiao Chen.
Did that person not know that Xiao Chen had killed the Ice-Snow Sword?
Could it be that this was an elder of the Burning Moon Sect or the Ice-Snow Mountain Manor? That was not right; the tone of this person sounded very much like a ruffian's, not the style of a sect disciple at all.
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. The one who came should be one of the Temple Ghost Sect's Sect Masters. Unexpectedly, the other party arrived so quickly.
This person spoke very boldly and was extremely arrogant.
"Big Brother, this person must be the Third Sect Master of the Temple Ghost Sect. He is nicknamed Black Tiger, an early-stage Minor Primal Core cultivator who has experienced hundreds of battles and is excellent with the saber," Xiao Suo said honestly when he heard this voice, his expression flickering.
Xiao Chen stood up and put down his wine cup. Then, he said softly, "Stay here. I'll go and take a look."
By now, many people had already gathered outside Idle Cloud Restaurant. However, they all hid far away, not daring to get too close to the building. The area immediately outside the doors was completely empty save for a ferocious-looking, dark-skinned man, who appeared very tyrannical as he stood in the middle of the space.
"You are the White Robed Xiao Chen?" Black Tiger asked when he saw that the person who came out was wearing white.
Black Tiger exuded a scary, baleful aura that deterred others from approaching. As he spoke, he was like a wild beast salivating at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen nodded and replied, "It's me. However, the one I killed is the Ice-Snow Sword, Luo Feng. What grudge is there between your Temple Ghost Sect and me for you to make a move on me?"
"Hahaha! As long as it's you, then it's fine. Since when does my Temple Ghost Sect need a grudge to seek trouble with others? You bought the Dazzling Sunlight True Flame, right? Our big brother wants you to hand it over. After that, the Temple Ghost Sect will naturally not seek trouble for you," Black Tiger threatened, still staring at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen looked around and asked, "With just you?"
Black Tiger's lips curled up as he said, "I alone am enough to make you hand over the Dazzling Sunlight True Flame."
Black Tiger looked very mighty as he held up a black saber, posturing as if he already had Xiao Chen in the bag.
Xiao Chen said indifferently, "It is not impossible. Just bring another Earth Grade flame of similar rank to make an exchange. If I'm satisfied, perhaps I'll hand the Dazzling Sunlight True Flame to you."
"Interesting, are you looking down on me?"
Black Tiger revealed a sinister smile as he coldly eyed Xiao Chen. "There are very few Veritable Personage cultivators in Purple Sun City who dare to speak to me like this. Even the three new talents do not dare to do that. All the Veritable Personage cultivators who dared to speak to me like that are already dead."
Black Tiger's tone was cold, showing confidence and indifference.
When others heard what Black Tiger said, they all shook their heads. The people of the Temple Ghost Sect were indeed overbearing. Black Tiger was very strong. Furthermore, the Temple Ghost Sect was also considered a peak existence in the area outside the city. Naturally, few dared to offend Black Tiger.
After all, Xiao Chen was not a local. Furthermore, he offended the Burning Moon Sect and the Ice-Snow Mountain Manor. If he did not hand over the Dazzling Sunlight True Flame, he would die here before those two Rank 2 sects arrived.
"You only have one life. However, in your long life, you will definitely get to meet something like the Dazzling Sunlight True Flame again. You know what I mean?!"
Black Tiger looked at Xiao Chen as he gave his final warning: did Xiao Chen want to keep his life or forcibly keep the Dazzling Sunlight True Flame?
Xiao Chen's eyes remained as calm as still water. He glanced at Black Tiger, unimpressed, and said, "Many people have said similar things to me before. However, I'm still alive, and I killed those who said these words, even the Ice-Snow Sword.
"I'll give you a choice as well. While I'm not truly angry yet, scram!"
Surprisingly, Xiao Chen did not make a choice about Black Tiger's ultimatum. Instead, he told Black Tiger to either scram or die.
Xiao Chen's calm eyes showed brilliance, appearing somewhat carefree.
"This fellow!"
Far away, on top of a tall building, Lan Luo monitored the situation at Idle Cloud Restaurant. Actually, she had not gone that far. She scolded Xiao Chen in her heart. This Xiao Chen is truly too arrogant. Killing the Ice-Snow Sword does not mean he can defeat Black Tiger.
Black Tiger was well known among the Minor Primal Core cultivators. Furthermore, he had experienced hundreds of battles. Even the Ice-Snow Sword, Luo Feng, would not dare offend this person.
However, Xiao Chen did not show any weakness. Instead, he threatened Black Tiger.
As expected, when Black Tiger heard what Xiao Chen said, he laughed sinisterly, "Hahahaha! This is interesting. Xiao Chen, you are the first to dare to threaten me like that!
"However, you will definitely be the last!"
"Whoosh!"
Black Tiger let out a sharp roar, and his body turned into a black afterimage, vanishing.
In the next moment, he appeared at the side, holding his saber with one hand and launching himself over like a ferocious tiger.
A strong wind blew, causing the people watching from afar to lose their footing and preventing them from opening their eyes.
The black saber gave off a cold, sinister light in the air, which turned into a ferocious, black tiger as he descended towards Xiao Chen.
This Movement Technique was so fast that only afterimages could be seen.
This saber light was strange and sinister. There was a scary and ferocious spirit in the saber.
What terrifying strength! Everyone took in a sharp breath of cold air. This Black Tiger was indeed much stronger than the Ice-Snow Sword.
Xiao Chen gathered his Veritable Essence Energy and punched.
"Bang!"
The fist and saber light clashed. Xiao Chen took one step back, his arm going slightly numb.
Black Tiger laughed nastily. He rode the momentum and hacked three times in rapid succession.
With each saber strike, Xiao Chen took a step back. Instantly, he had retreated three steps.
He thought to himself, This Black Tiger is truly incredible. Even after I absorbed the ten-thousand-year-old Baleful Yin Energy, my Veritable Essence Energy can only barely block his attacks.
After all, he is an early-stage Minor Primal Core cultivator. There is a great difference in our cultivations.
Of course, this difference only brings him a small advantage.
"You do have some strength, but that is all there is to it. I heard that you are a bladesman as well. What's wrong? You do not even dare to draw your saber against me?!"
Black Tiger laughed maniacally. He completely suppressed Xiao Chen with his advantage in cultivation and dominated the scene.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Suddenly, Black Tiger took two steps back. His right hand, which held the saber, hurt for some reason.
The other party's fist actually contained a saber Qi that was hard to eliminate. After they exchanged a few moves, this saber Qi already penetrated deep into Black Tiger's arm.
As Black Tiger moved back, he hastily suppressed this saber Qi. Then, he looked at Xiao Chen. "I'll give you one chance to draw your saber."
"How arrogant! It looks like this Black Tiger is going to toy with Xiao Chen."
"That can't be helped. The difference in cultivation is too wide. Clearly, Black Tiger advanced to the Primal Core Realm in a firm and stable manner; his Veritable Essence Energy is exceptionally dense and pure."
"Xiao Chen too. Being too arrogant landed him in such a situation; he's completely unable to retaliate."
Far away, when people heard Black Tiger's words, they broke out in discussion. Black Tiger's expression turned cocky when this reached his ears.
"Let me draw my saber?"
Xiao Chen revealed a surprised expression. Is he tired of living already?
Based on the earlier exchange, the other party held the upper hand. However, Xiao Chen's fist contained the Flawless saber Dao's energy. When combined with Great Dao Energy, it was not easy to deal with, either.
While others might not understand, how could this Black Tiger not? Yet, he still wanted to pretend to be relaxed.
"I told you to draw your saber. Just draw it. Otherwise, don't blame me for not even giving you the chance to draw your saber!" Black Tiger said coldly. He wanted to not only kill Xiao Chen but also do so with flair.
Black Tiger wanted his name to spread even further in Purple Sun City.
"Flawless Saber Technique, Void Breaking Stance!"
Since the other party wholeheartedly sought death, Xiao Chen could only grant him his wish.
He drew the Lunar Shadow Saber, and his Great Dao Energy appeared. The strong Great Dao Energy of the Saber Dao instantly shattered Black Tiger's move like breaking withered, brittle branches.
The other party comprehended his saber soul only to eighty percent, not even comprehending a Saber Domain. As for Xiao Chen, he had long surpassed the Saber Domain, comprehending Great Dao Energy.
Xiao Chen was on an entirely different level. The instant the Great Dao Energy appeared, Black Tiger felt like he lost the ability to think.
When Black Tiger looked over, Xiao Chen suddenly vanished from in front. Just as Black Tiger felt horrified, a resplendent saber light gave off a brilliance like the blazing sun, piercing everyone's eyes.
The saber light flashed and stabbed into Black Tiger's chest, instantly shattering all of his internal organs.
