Chapter 708: Killed in One Move



Chapter 708: Killed in One Move

When Wang Cheng saw Xiao Chen growing stronger, he felt extremely dissatisfied, especially since his recent humiliation at Xiao Chen’s hands fanned the flames of his resentment.

It will be for the best if his opponent kills him. Then everything will come to an end, Wang Cheng cursed viciously.

Shui Lingling asked worriedly, “Xiao Chen, have you thought this through carefully?”

Xiao Chen did not turn his head as he replied calmly, “Many thanks to First Senior Sister for the concern, but I know what I’m doing.”

Shen Tu held a sword in his hand as he walked forward with large strides. He smiled and said, “At least you are somewhat courageous. However, you are just a joke in the end. Today, I will show you that some things cannot be said. If you do, you will end up dying.”

The others all stepped back, giving Xiao Chen and Shen Tu a lot of space for their battle.

The vast Vital Qi in Xiao Chen’s body burned, and his blood surged like a gushing river. The energies in his physical body, which was almost as strong as a Sage Body, moved silently. He became like a hibernating flood dragon, storing up power, waiting for the right moment to burst forth.

Shen Tu looked at Xiao Chen with a relaxed expression. He had already comprehended his Heaven Ranked Martial Technique to fifty percent. Furthermore, he was an entire grade higher than Xiao Chen.

The Extreme Yin Sect had plenty of resources and many famous teachers. Shen Tu had climbed up to where he was step by step. So, he was not weak at all.

With such an enormous advantage, Shen Tu did not believe he could lose.

I’ll play around with him first, then use my Heaven Ranked Martial Technique to finish him off at the tenth move. I’ll trample on him right when he feels that there is hope.

Shen Tu did not want to defeat Xiao Chen instantly, so he decided to first toy with Xiao Chen slowly. Perhaps his First Senior Brother might decide to give him more benefits.

After observing Xiao Chen’s aura, Shen Tu could not see anything extraordinary about him, so he lost patience with taking things step by step and immediately charged over.

Shen Tu’s figure slowly grew larger in Xiao Chen’s vision, getting nearer.

Xiao Chen remained silent and motionless. He only continued to burn his Vital Qi, forming a hot stream of energy in his dantian.

This energy was the essence formed after the Vital Qi burned. The stream churned around nonstop as if it was struggling to get out.

Xiao Chen focused and not let it out. He merely continued burning his Vital Qi and storing up power.

His blood surged even more intensely in his body. His Qi and blood had flourished to their peaks. He was now like a high-temperature furnace about to explode.

One hundred meters, seventy meters, fifty meters…

The distance between Shen Tu and Xiao Chen shortened quickly. When Shen Tu raised his sword, a gust blew, gently brushing aside Xiao Chen’s fringe and revealing his handsome countenance.

Shen Tu smiled cruelly as he imprinted Xiao Chen’s face deep in his mind. Then, he spun his sword around and arrived twenty meters before him.

This should be enough, Xiao Chen thought. Suddenly, an intimidating light appeared in his calm eyes.

The trace of a sovereign’s bloodline in Xiao Chen’s blood instantly activated. An ancient sovereign’s aura burst forth, vast and weighty like the mountains and seas.

Shen Tu, who had not been feeling any pressure, suddenly felt like there was a massive mountain crushing his shoulders. His expression changed, and his movements immediately slowed.

“Burning the Heavens!”

Xiao Chen took advantage of this moment to shout out. Then, the energy that he had been suppressing all this time turned into azure smoke that came out from his Tianmen Acupoint and rushed up to the sky to burn large patches of white clouds.

The ancient sovereign’s aura that suddenly appeared lasted for only a second. Then Shen Tu managed to recover from it. However, this one second was sufficient to change the situation.

An azure-colored dragon claw tore through the clouds and formed a fist. Then it plunged from the sky like a meteor.

This attack boggled Shen Tu, and he quickly braced his sword across his chest and used his Quintessence for defense. However, because he did not have much time, he did not even manage to gather fifty percent of his Quintessence.

As for Xiao Chen, after burning his Vital Qi and storing up power, he managed to bring out a hundred and twenty percent of his nine hundred tons of force.

When the two clashed, Xiao Chen held the absolute advantage.

“Bang!”

There was a loud sound, and the sword in Shen Tu’s hand broke. The Dragon Fist continued onwards and struck his Quintessence shield. The force permeated; then his ribs fractured, and his internal organs ruptured.

Shen Tu went flying back and vomited a large mouthful of blood. The glow of his Quintessence shield dimmed and disappeared.

A murderous intent appeared in Xiao Chen’s eyes. An Azure Dragon image appeared below his feet and carried him through the air. Then, a vast sea manifested behind him, and 999 pillars of water shot up into the sky.

“Dragon Subduing Slash, Return of the Azure Dragon!”

Xiao Chen did not show any emotion on his face. A dragon-shaped saber light in the midst of auspicious-looking clouds bore a surging Dragon Might as it swept across.

When Burning the Heavens struck Shen Tu, his aura plummeted, and he received severe injuries. He simply had no way to block this Heaven Ranked Martial Technique that followed close after.

All this happened in an instant, not even giving anyone a chance to try and rescue Shen Tu. Bai Wuxue’s expression changed drastically as he roared out, “Stop!”

Bai Wuxue’s voice was thunderous, evoking fear in the heart. Clearly, he was thoroughly enraged.

However, Xiao Chen ignored Bai Wuxue and continued chopping with his Return of the Azure Dragon. Blood splashed out, and Shen Tu’s head flew off. As Shen Tu’s head shot through the air, his eyes were opened wide. Even when he was dead, he could not believe it.

The other people were flabbergasted; they had not expected such an outcome.

“Some things cannot be said. If you do, you will end up dying.” These were Shen Tu’s words earlier. Indeed, someone had died. However, the person that died was Shen Tu himself and not Xiao Chen.

Someone that Shen Tu considered a joke killed him in two moves.

No matter how you humiliate me or scold me, saying all sorts of things with your sharp tongue, I have a saber in my hand. If I get mad, I’ll just kill you. Then, how will you speak any more crap?

The disciples of the Extreme Yin Sect all paled. They could not believe that Xiao Chen had killed Shen Tu.

As Bai Wuxue watched the flying head, he was stunned for a moment. Then, rage filled him as he said coldly, “How dare you kill a true inheritor of my Extreme Yin Sect?! You must be tired of living.”

“Great Icy Cold Palm!”

In Bai Wuxue’s rage, he unleashed the full extent of his half-Sage strength without holding back. A giant palm made of ice-attributed Quintessence materialized in the air. The moment it formed, it appeared before Xiao Chen.

The ice palm carried a tremendous force that could shatter mountains and split the earth as it flew towards Xiao Chen.

“Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram!”

Xiao Chen’s expression turned grave as two beams of lights—one purple and one white—flew out of his eyes. They immediately chased each other around and formed an enchanting Taiji Diagram.

Yinyang, four divisions, and the eight trigrams appeared around the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram. Then, it gave off a golden light, emitting a boundless radiance.

When the horrifying ice palm struck the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram, it gave off a loud report. Space trembled, the heavens shook, and the earth rumbled.

“Ka ca! Ka ca!”

Cracks appeared on the golden Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram. After a moment, it shattered and turned back into two beams of fiery light that returned to Xiao Chen’s eyes.

Xiao Chen’s sea of consciousness surged, and he felt a slight headache. However, he had managed to block Bai Wuxue’s full-power strike without suffering any harm.

“Xiu!”

When Bai Wuxue saw Xiao Chen block his strike, shock appeared in his eyes. He was about to continue attacking when he noticed an arrow flying at him like a meteor.

As the arrow tore through space, it left behind a long, flaming tail. Bai Wuxue felt a dangerous aura, and he quickly moved aside, dodging this extremely fast arrow.

“Bang!”

The arrow exploded in the air. Flames and shock waves surged out, spreading in all directions. The blast knocked away the other Extreme Yin Sect disciples who failed to dodge in time.

Shui Lingling nocked another arrow and drew her purple bow to its fullest extent, aiming at Bai Wuxue.

“Bai Wuxue, what are you trying to do? Swords and sabers have no eyes. Since it was a duel, it would be hard to avoid injury or even death. If Shen Tu defeated Xiao Chen, he probably would not have spared Xiao Chen’s life, either.”

Hovering in the air with a cold and gloomy expression, Bai Wuxue looked at Shui Lingling’s bow with some fear.

He had lost a true inheritor with unlimited potential for no reason. As he watched Xiao Chen land on the ground, he hated that he could not kill Xiao Chen on the spot.

However, with Shui Lingling here, doing so would be impossible.

Bai Wuxue flung his sleeves heavily and gave Xiao Chen a speaking look. Then, he led the remaining Extreme Yin Sect disciples away with long strides.

Shui Lingling heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Bai Wuxue had not charged head-on. Otherwise, both sides would have suffered heavily. That would not have ended well for anyone.

“Junior Brother Xiao, are you alright?” Shui Lingling asked after she slung her ancient purple bow on her back.

Xiao Chen shook his head and said, “I am still fine. I’m not too heavily injured.”

Hu Hai asked out of curiosity, “Might I ask, Junior Brother Xiao, what Martial Technique that flame diagram you used at the end is? I have never heard of anything like that before.”

The Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram had perfectly merged Yin and Yang, two opposing attributes. The might that it unleashed allowed Xiao Chen, a Medial Grade Martial Monarch, to block the full-power strike of Bai Wuxue without suffering any injury. Anyone who saw it would definitely feel curious.

Xiao Chen nodded and said, “That is something I created myself.”

When the others heard this, a dubious look flashed in their eyes. They did not feel that Xiao Chen was capable of creating such an exquisite Martial Technique. They only took it for an excuse.

However, all cultivators had their own secrets. Hu Hai was merely curious, so he did not intend to continue questioning Xiao Chen.

Wang Cheng looked at Shen Tu’s headless corpse lying on the ground; then, he looked at Xiao Chen again. Now, an indiscernible fear appeared in the depths of his eyes.

I really had not realized that this fellow is so decisive when attacking. He even killed an Extreme Yin Sect true inheritor on a whim.

I tried to stop him from coming to the Savage Battlefield. If he bears a grudge and takes action, I will be in for a hard time.

Wang Cheng gave Xiao Chen a measuring look and then lowered his head. A strange, complicated light flickered in his eyes.

Bai Wuxue’s appearance was only a small distraction to the group. It did not cause much of a disturbance.

Under Shui Lingling’s lead, the group continued towards the Dragon Burial Mound, going through desolate lands, deserts, and forests, experiencing all sorts of danger.

Now that the group had personally experienced the Savage Battlefield’s vastness, when Shui Lingling told the others that all they had seen so far was just the tip of the iceberg, the group felt a big headache.

However, the group had gained significant profit. Rare Spirit Herbs that were hard to find outside were available in abundance here.

Sometimes, when the six were lucky, they would find a stalk of Spirit Herb worth a million Superior Grade Spirit Stones in a crack by the road that no one else noticed.

Three days later, a desolate plain appeared before the group. Five mountains were visible in this plain, surrounding an azure palace.

The mountain that the group faced looked significantly shorter when compared to the others as if someone had chopped it in half.
