Chapter 230: Chapter 160: Thrashing an Inner Realm Expert! The Inner Realm Expert Knelt

A fiery trench, half a meter deep, scarred the ground like a furrow gouged by a plow, flames still burning within...

At the bottom of the trench, the old man’s chest was caved in. He was gushing blood and spitting up fragments of his internal organs. His eyes were filled with fear and bewilderment, and his mouth was still moving.

"No... impossible..."

’I’m in the Inner Realm! The Inner Realm!!’

"An Inner Realm master is no joke, I’ll give you that!"

Chen Xuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. A fiery aura blazed around him.

His Innate Tyrant Body was still healing.

It wasn’t easy to fight his domain with sheer personal strength.

’Good thing the "outlast the old man" strategy worked.’

He healed at an incredible rate, making him seem immortal.

[You have defeated an Inner Realm First Layer master. You feel immense satisfaction. Retribution Points +30,000!]

"Alright. Now kneel and say you’re sorry!"

Chen Xuan appeared before the man, his gaze calm as he spoke.

"You!!!"

The old man’s face was a mask of horror, as if he couldn’t comprehend what he’d just heard.

’What is he talking about?’

’It’s one thing to defeat me, but now he wants me to kneel?’

"You don’t get it? I said kneel and apologize. Otherwise, I’ll kill your granddaughter."

Chen Xuan frowned.

"Do... do you know who I am?"

the old man said, his face contorted with grief and indignation.

SQUELCH!

A heavy foot stomped down on the man’s face, grinding his head into the dirt. "I don’t give a damn who you are," Chen Xuan said coldly. "You wanted me to kneel earlier. I’m just returning the favor. Are you going to kneel or not? If you don’t, I’ll kill your granddaughter."

"I’ll kneel. I’ll kneel."

The old man cried out in anguish, completely broken.

He wasn’t afraid of death, but he was terrified that this madman would kill his granddaughter too.

’What kind of monster is this, making a man over a hundred years old kneel to him?’

"Good. Kneel."

Chen Xuan retracted his foot, his expression placid.

His face a mask of humiliation, the old man struggled to his feet. With a heavy THUD, he fell to his knees before Chen Xuan. His lips trembled as he cried out in agony, "I’m sorry! I was wrong!"

’I’m losing my mind.’

’I’ve lived for over one hundred and thirty years, and today I’m kneeling to a junior?’

’Is there any justice left in this world?’

[Mental breakdown of an Inner Realm master detected. Retribution Points +50,000!]

[Mental breakdown of Dong Jianxue detected. Retribution Points +35,000!]

’Excellent!’

"Now it’s your turn."

Chen Xuan’s voice was chilly as he turned and walked toward Dong Jianxue, who was standing nearby.

"I’m not pregnant! I’m a virgin! I really am a virgin! SOB SOB SOB..."

Dong Jianxue broke down, wailing.

’A virgin?’

’Would a virgin pick up something like that?’

Chen Xuan’s expression was frigid. He grabbed her wrist, and a fiery surge of True Essence instantly poured from his hand, coursing through her meridians and into her body.

Suddenly, his brow furrowed.

’This woman’s constitution is extraordinary.’

’Her body contains an astonishingly cold energy, like a bottomless ice cavern. How bizarre.’

’And the deeper I probe, the stronger the cold energy becomes.’

A moment later, Chen Xuan retracted his True Essence, a thoughtful look on his face.

’She’s really not pregnant!’

"Then why did you pick that thing up?"

Chen Xuan asked.

"I just wanted a memento! He was my fiancé! We were only engaged in name—our families hadn’t even approved it yet! Are you happy now?!"

Dong Jianxue sobbed, tears streaming down her face. "Why are you doing this to me? I haven’t killed anyone! I’ve never done anything wrong! SOB SOB SOB..."

"..."

Chen Xuan was silent. With a casual wave of his hand, a burst of fiery True Qi enveloped the... thing, obliterating it completely. "You can go," he said coolly.

He ignored her and walked toward the ruined temple, toward the innocent girl who had been injured earlier.

Dong Jianxue’s eyes were red. Wiping away her tears, she quickly got up and rushed to her grandfather’s side. She struggled to help the old man up, but the movement only aggravated his injuries, causing him to spit up another mouthful of blood. It was the height of humiliation.

At that moment, the sound of rushing wind whistled from the distance.

Mr. Zhuo and Zhou Yuan finally arrived, both utterly exhausted. Their faces were pale, their True Qi severely depleted.

The moment they arrived, their expressions turned to shock as they quickly scanned their surroundings.

"Dong Jianxue!"

Mr. Zhuo’s pupils contracted. He recognized the weeping, broken woman with the swollen face.

’She’s from the Dong family of Celestial Establishment Mountain!’

His eyes swept over the area again.

Suddenly, he spotted a naked, blood-soaked corpse nearby. His heart seized, and for a moment, he thought it was Chen Xuan.

But then, from the ruined temple to the side, Chen Xuan emerged, carrying a heavily injured, unconscious woman. "You’re here," he said.

"Chen Xuan, what is all this...?"

Mr. Zhuo couldn’t help but ask.

"I killed that animal. When I got here, he was assaulting an innocent girl..."

Chen Xuan pointed to the nearby corpse and said coolly, "Old Zhou, your daughter has been avenged. As for the body, do with it what you will. I already cut his junk off. That woman over there has it."

"What?!"

Zhou Yuan and Mr. Zhuo were both bewildered, completely stunned.

Zhou Yuan’s gaze quickly fell upon the bloody corpse. His eyes trembled and his breathing grew ragged. "That’s... Jiang Longyang?" he asked in disbelief.

"Yes."

Chen Xuan nodded and pointed to Dong Jianxue. "And that one is his fiancée. From what I gather, they got engaged in secret without their families’ approval. I checked. She’s not pregnant with Jiang Longyang’s child."

Zhou Yuan was stunned once more. His mind reeled, a roar filling his ears.

Mr. Zhuo was even more horrified, his face a mask of utter disbelief.

’So fast!’

’It was all too fast!’

’Jiang Longyang was killed just like that!’
