Chapter 228: Chapter 160: Thrashing an Inner Realm Expert! The Inner Realm Expert Knelt

The more Dong Jianxue thought about it, the more heartbroken she became, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Suddenly, as if she’d thought of something, she quickly looked up and dashed forward.

As Chen Xuan watched in confusion, she snatched something up from the ground—something that had been severed.

"What are you doing? Are you some kind of pervert?"

Chen Xuan frowned.

"He’s already dead! What’s the harm in me picking it up?"

Dong Jianxue retorted angrily.

’He was my fiancé, after all.’

’Even though my family was always against it, we had already pledged our lives to each other. What’s wrong with picking this up as a memento?’

’Using *that* as a memento?’

This was a true first for Chen Xuan.

’What a psycho.’

"Wait, you’re his wife, aren’t you?"

Chen Xuan’s eyes suddenly narrowed, and he walked forward.

’Fail to pull out the roots, and the weeds will grow back.’

’Who knows if this woman is already carrying his child?’

’Even if she isn’t pregnant now, there’s no guarantee she couldn’t use some wicked art with *that thing* to conceive a child.’

Chen Xuan absolutely could not allow such a loose end to exist.

"You... What are you going to do?"

Terror flashed across Dong Jianxue’s face. She stumbled backward, her expression turning deathly pale.

"Young man, you have quite the murderous intent. Is this how Alliance Leader Chu taught you?"

A weary, aged voice suddenly sounded from not far away.

Chen Xuan’s eyes turned cold, and he spun around.

He saw an old man in his sixties with a powerful build and graying temples, who had appeared behind him at some unknown time. The old man was watching him with an expression of deep reflection.

"Third Grand-uncle!"

The moment Dong Jianxue saw her kinsman, tears streamed down her face, and she quickly tried to circle around Chen Xuan to get to him.

SMACK!

With a casual backhand, Chen Xuan sent her flying, a spray of blood erupting from her mouth.

"Get out of the way!"

’You think you can run before I’ve confirmed whether you’re Jiang Longyang’s fiancée?’

’What a joke.’

’Besides, the road here was littered with corpses, all killed by fire-attribute True Qi. I’m certain you despicable pair were responsible.’

’Even if you didn’t strike the blows yourself, you’re still an accomplice!’

The old man’s expression changed instantly. He glared at Chen Xuan as an immense pressure erupted from his eyes. BOOM! A heaven-shaking, majestic aura surged toward Chen Xuan, enveloping him completely. In an instant, the world itself twisted, and a strange phenomenon manifested.

The sky trembled, and the earth cracked.

The sky rapidly filled with roiling dark clouds, as if the heavens themselves were enraged. Countless peals of muffled thunder echoed between heaven and earth. A vast pressure descended upon Chen Xuan. From within the endless clouds, a colossal, terrifying face seemed to emerge. It glared down at Chen Xuan and let out a furious roar.

"Insolent junior! Kneel!!"

’Inner Realm!’

Chen Xuan’s gaze hardened.

’But it’s all an illusion!’

’Trying to crush me with mere spiritual pressure? Dream on!’

BOOM!

Indestructible Fist Intent (Level 2) erupted! A layer of brilliant golden aura flared to life, burning like a powerful sacred flame between heaven and earth. It shot skyward, instantly neutralizing all of the opponent’s pressure.

The illusion before his eyes completely dissipated.

It was like the clouds had parted to reveal a clear blue sky.

The entire scene and the furious roar from just moments ago vanished completely.

Chen Xuan stood ramrod straight, his gaze clearer than ever before. He looked directly at the old man and said, "Good. Very good. An expert of the Inner Realm. Truly extraordinary, profoundly unfathomable. I have never seen one before. Today is a first."

His eyes suddenly blazed with fire once more.

Countless golden flames seemed to burn within them, and a powerful, terrifying fluctuation surged through his body. The pressure was so great that it even caused the celestial phenomena above Chen Xuan’s head to change again.

A vast expanse of fiery clouds appeared.

The old man’s pupils contracted.

’Incredible!’

’Truly incredible!’

’How could he withstand the pressure of an Inner Realm expert like me?’

’Those at the Inner Realm have already cultivated a miniature world within their bodies.’

’It is the process of a human becoming a heaven unto themselves!’

’The pressure I just released should have been able to crush any master at the True Essence Realm. It’s absolutely impossible for someone at the True Essence Realm to resist it.’

’And yet, he’s completely fine.’

’And another thing!’

’This dense Fire Attribute Primordial Qi of his... it’s even more profound than Jiang Longyang’s...’

’I had seen him kill Jiang Longyang just now, but the boy’s movements were too fast, too clean. I simply didn’t have time to intervene.’

’In my mind, Jiang Longyang should have been able to resist, but I never imagined he would be killed on the spot.’

’And now, this brat is showing hostility toward me!’

"Fine. I didn’t expect someone like you to exist in the outside world. Junior, out of respect for your Alliance Leader Chu, I won’t make things difficult for you today. Kneel, slap yourself across the face, and we’ll call this matter over!"

the old man said, his tone cold.

’My grand-niece was hit.’

’I can’t just stand by and do nothing.’

’As for Jiang Longyang’s death?’

’Heaven-Burning Valley will handle that themselves.’

"Over?"

Chen Xuan’s voice was ice-cold. Wisps of golden flame began to leak from his mouth, and his flesh and skin began to look as if they were igniting inch by inch. He said, "You’re dreaming. No one is leaving today!"

’This can’t be over until I figure out who that woman is.’

The old man’s eyes narrowed as he stared at Chen Xuan. "You court death! I’m giving you an out, and you refuse to take it! Do you really think I’m a patient man?"

’If I weren’t concerned about Chu Shanhe...’

’...I would have beaten him to a pulp the moment he slapped my grand-niece.’

’Now I’m just asking him to kneel and slap himself, and he’s actually refusing?’

’Not only is he refusing!’

’He actually wants to press the matter with me?’
