Chapter 204: Chapter 149: Want to Show Off? Then Send Him Flying

"Hkk... Hkkk..."

On the ground.

The woman lay in a massive crater, her head stomped on, her entire body slammed to the ground. Blood foamed from her nose and mouth as she coughed up more, her face a mask of terror.

Especially her head...

An unimaginable, excruciating pain and waves of blacking-out dizziness washed over her.

It felt as if she’d been trampled by a terrifying, colossal beast.

The horrifying pain could only mean her skull had been shattered.

Some of her brain matter had even splattered out.

The Fire Python Inner Core she had been holding rolled away, falling into a depression to the side.

CLICK!

A large, imposing shadow fell over her, engulfing her body.

Utterly terrified, she trembled uncontrollably, her pupils quaking as she stared at the burly figure who had suddenly appeared before her.

At this moment, she felt like a helpless little rabbit.

She could be crushed, obliterated, by his terrifying and unfathomable power at any moment.

"N-no... Don’t kill me..."

No matter how arrogant the woman had been before, she now abandoned all pride and begged for her life in terror.

It was just too horrifying.

Chen Xuan’s eyes were indifferent. He ignored her, bending down to pick up the fallen Fire Python Inner Core and wiping it clean.

Just then, Mr. Zhuo rushed over, his pupils contracting.

"Chen Xuan, they’re from a Grotto Heaven! They’re from Black Demon Mountain!"

"So what?"

Chen Xuan’s tone was flat. "They stole my things and beat up someone from my Martial Alliance. They’re asking to die."

First, humiliation! Then, death!

Not a single one would be spared!

The very fact that they were from Black Demon Mountain meant they had to die.

After all, Black Demon Mountain was their destined enemy.

They were bound to become open foes sooner or later.

His dark eyes suddenly swept over to the trembling woman. "Do you know what you did wrong?"

"...Yes."

Zhou Xueyun’s spirit broke, and she nodded repeatedly.

A wave of humiliation, the likes of which she had never felt before, washed over her.

She was a prodigy from Black Demon Mountain, the kind seen only once in several centuries.

For someone her age to reach the True Essence First Layer was already exceedingly rare.

But she never imagined that upon coming to the outside world, she would encounter someone even more terrifying than herself.

"I asked if you know you were wrong. Are you deaf?"

Chen Xuan frowned.

Without giving her a chance to react, he snatched her out of the crater. His movements were like lightning. With a sound like tearing sinew and breaking bone, he ripped off both her arms in a flash. Blood sprayed, and a piercing scream split the air.

The woman’s shrieks were like a pig being slaughtered—unearthly and shrill. Her face contorted, and the intense pain almost made her pass out on the spot.

"Elder Wuu, come here."

Chen Xuan said, holding her with one hand as he looked back.

Elder Wuu, his face a picture of shock, staggered forward. He had already sealed his acupoints to stop the bleeding and now hurried over.

"Young Hero Chen..."

"How many times did this person hit you before? Pay her back, with interest!"

Chen Xuan’s tone was flat as he tossed the armless woman in front of Elder Wuu.

"This..."

Elder Wuu’s expression shifted, a flicker of hesitation in his eyes.

These two had a powerful background.

He couldn’t afford to provoke them.

"What are you afraid of? The Alliance Leader has your back. If I tell you to hit her, you hit her."

Chen Xuan said coldly.

’The Alliance Leader?’

It was as if a light switched on in Elder Wuu’s mind. His expression hardened. Gritting his teeth, he picked up the woman’s black whip from the ground, infused it with True Qi without hesitation, and lashed it across her body. A loud WHAP echoed as skin split and flesh flew. Another agonizing scream erupted from the woman’s mouth.

"You bitch! You tried to rob me, you humiliated me, you beat me half to death! Today, I’ll pay you back a thousand times over, so you’ll learn that not everyone is going to put up with your bullshit!"

WHAP! WHAP! WHAP! WHAP!

The whip cracked down again and again, each strike making a piercing sound.

The woman’s state was miserable as she screamed endlessly from the beating.

At that moment, the man Chen Xuan had planted in the ground managed to pull his head free. He spat out mouthfuls of blood, his face full of terror as he stared at the scene in disbelief.

’This is insane!’

’The people from the Martial Alliance are insane!’

’Are they trying to start an all-out war?’

Chen Xuan’s brow furrowed when he saw the man pull his head out of the ground. He flicked his hand, and a dazzling golden light, sharp as a blade, shot toward the man.

The man’s face filled with horror. He instantly felt a terrifying aura lock onto him. Even the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi around him began to churn like a violent sea.

The surrounding Primordial Qi formed into solid walls, cutting off all his escape routes.

He could only watch helplessly as Chen Xuan’s golden light flew toward him.

"Spare me!"

The man shouted in a panic.

CLANG!

BOOM!

A cyan light shot out from the side and slammed into Chen Xuan’s golden light. The impact created a deafening roar, unleashing waves of powerful, chaotic energy.

Chen Xuan’s golden light was shattered on the spot.

The cyan light that had flown in also exploded.

The two different energies dissipated, sweeping out in all directions.

"Hm?"

Chen Xuan suddenly turned his head.

"Friend, you’ve already defeated him. Why the need for such a killing blow?"

A calm voice suddenly rang out.

The bustling crowd quickly backed away on both sides.

The people in the black market all looked shocked, turning toward the direction the cyan light had come from, afraid they might be used as human shields if they weren’t careful.

Three figures approached—two men and a woman, all of them extraordinary.

They seemed fundamentally different from the surrounding crowd.

They appeared to be in their mid-thirties.

Confident, calm, and aloof, they carried themselves with an air of superiority, as if they had the world in the palm of their hands.

This was an attitude Chen Xuan rarely saw in experts from the outside world!

So there was no need to ask!

They, too, had come from a ’Grotto Heaven’.

"Who the fuck do you think you are, my old man?"

Chen Xuan didn’t hold back, cursing the moment he opened his mouth. He glared at the white-robed man in the center and said, "Is this about ’defeating him’? This is about him committing armed robbery on my Martial Alliance’s territory, and he was robbing *me*. Elder Wuu, recite the island’s rules for him."

"Yes, Young Hero Chen!"

Elder Wuu, who had been whipping Zhou Xueyun, immediately stopped. He looked at the newcomers and declared, "Black market rules: Anyone who dares to use force to rob another in the black market will be killed without mercy!"

"Did you hear that, you waste of space?"

Chen Xuan’s tone was icy as he looked at the three. "Or what? Do you three wastes of space want to have a go at me too?"

"You!"

The three of them flushed with anger, incensed by Chen Xuan’s tone.

’So arrogant.’

They had all come from a Grotto Heaven and had never met such a barbaric person!

"We were just trying to reason with you. Why are you being so rude?"

The woman with pigtails on the left shouted angrily.

"Are you trying to reason with your dad? When they were viciously beating one of my Martial Alliance people, why didn’t you pop up then? Now that it’s one of your own, you suddenly show your faces?"

Chen Xuan was merciless. "And another thing, I’m laying down the fucking law for you. Do you understand what the law is? He broke the island’s law! That’s a capital offense. Did you fucking think I was joking with you? Huh?"

"You’re courting death!"

The woman with pigtails flew into a rage.

She couldn’t take it anymore.

’People from the outside are so ill-mannered.’

’He just opens his mouth and curses!’

’Does he have a mouth like a sewer?’

The two men beside her also scowled.

Just as they were about to lash out, a middle-aged man, who seemed to be their companion, quickly walked over from the side and whispered something in their ears.

The three of them were shocked.

"True Essence Third Layer?"

They stared at the middle-aged man as if they’d seen a ghost.

"Yes, the information was just updated..."

The middle-aged man whispered, "You can’t afford to provoke him. Whatever you do, don’t make a move."

He wasn’t from a Grotto Heaven, merely serving as a guide for the trio. In the past, whenever experts from a ’Grotto Heaven’ came out, he was usually responsible for guiding them and showing them around.

But he never expected that this time, in a single moment of inattention, these three masters would provoke Chen Xuan.

It wouldn’t have been a problem if they had provoked anyone else.

But of all people, they had to provoke Chen Xuan.

The expressions on the trio’s faces shifted. The fury from a moment ago receded like a tide, vanishing in an instant...

’A monster!’

’The outside world has produced a fucking monster!’

’How old does he even look?’

’He’s already at the True Essence Third Layer!’

’What kind of joke is this?’

"Friend, what goes around comes around. We’ll meet again."

The white-robed man in the lead spoke in a slightly cold tone, leaving a parting threat. "I hope you’re still this tough then. We’re leaving!"

He turned to leave immediately, unwilling to stay a moment longer.

"Did I say you could leave?"

A cold, indifferent voice suddenly came from behind them.

BOOM!

A terrifying aura, like a mountain-collapsing tsunami, erupted from Chen Xuan’s body without warning. It carried a horrifying pressure and fluctuation, like a terrifying human volcano. Searing, dreadful heat instantly locked onto the trio, even creating an intangible spiritual illusion for them.

It made the three of them instantly reveal looks of horror, feeling as if they had been plunged into the belly of a giant volcano.

Everywhere, from the heavens to the earth, there was only scorching heat and terrifying magma.

The desperate, terrifying aura felt like it was about to melt them completely...

This was the effect of the Indestructible Fist Intent (Level 2).

In the eyes of others, they could only feel waves of searing heat and a stinging pain.

But in the eyes of this trio, they saw endless magma and flames.

Even Chen Xuan, standing behind them, had transformed into a terrifying, colossal lava troll that touched the heavens and stood upon the earth.

"You..."

The trio, who had been so calm moments ago, were now aghast. They froze in place, truly not daring to take another step.

"Anyone who dares to move will be beaten to death on the spot!"

"The kind where I guarantee you’ll be nothing but a pile of pulp!"

Chen Xuan’s tone was flat.

’You thought you could just drop a threat and walk away?’

’You think this is child’s play?’

’What goes around comes around, huh?’

’I’ll make it so neither of you go anywhere!’

"Young Hero Chen, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! They’re all from a ’Grotto Heaven,’ they didn’t mean any harm just now..."

The middle-aged man from the side, his face pale, hurriedly tried to mediate.

"You want to die too?"

Chen Xuan cast an indifferent gaze at him.

"No, no, this has nothing to do with me! I’m just paid to do a job. Farewell..."

The middle-aged man waved his hands frantically, disavowing all connection to them, and vanished in the blink of an eye.

"W-what do you want?"

The white-robed man from before asked, his voice trembling.

"Simple. You have a cheap mouth, so I’ll tear it off. Then, you’re going to kneel and kowtow to me! Do that, and I’ll spare you. Otherwise, you die today!"

Chen Xuan’s voice was calm as he walked forward.

’Like to meddle in other people’s business?’

’Like to stand on a moral high ground?’

’Still dare to make threats?’

’Then I’ll just have to teach you a lesson.’
