Chapter 315: Chapter 183: Killing an Outer Saint! Shocking the World

"Ancient Star River, I’m begging you, spare my life!"

Elder Cang Er cried out in terror, "We’re old acquaintances, Ancient Star River! Old acquaintances! It’s been hundreds of years! Almost everyone we knew back then is dead. There aren’t many of us left from that era. Spare my life!"

"Spare you? You can take that up with Chen Xuan!"

A savage grin spread across Ancient Star River’s face. He may have gotten a black eye, but he had landed a palm strike to his opponent’s chest in return.

WHOOSH!

An unfathomably terrifying aura approached at incredible speed, and the entire sky instantly grew scorching hot.

Terrified, Elder Cang Er quickly looked back.

Old Deng reacted in a flash. He shot backward as if teleporting, covering several miles in an instant.

BOOM!

Chen Xuan appeared and slammed a vicious punch into Elder Cang Er’s abdomen. He let out a pained scream, his body curling up like a shrimp in midair. With a twisted expression, a hole was blasted straight through his torso, sending blood flying everywhere.

Then, Chen Xuan lashed out with a slap.

SMACK!

Another terrifying crack echoed.

Elder Cang Er’s body shot toward the earth like a meteor. With a deafening CRACK, he slammed into the ground, the impact shaking the land for miles around, kicking up a cloud of dust and shattering an untold amount of rock and soil.

After just two simple strikes, he was in so much pain he wished he were dead. His bones were pulverized, and he couldn’t even climb to his feet.

THUD!

Chen Xuan descended from the sky, planting a foot directly on the back of his head. The immense force ground the old man’s face into the dirt. His eyes went vacant, his spirit utterly broken.

[An Outer Saint’s will has been broken. +120,000 retribution points!]

A line of text appeared before him.

"Speak. Who sent you?"

Chen Xuan’s tone was indifferent.

"Heh... heh heh..."

Elder Cang Er’s face was deathly pale as he chuckled weakly. Blood streamed from his mouth and nostrils, and his entire body was drenched in it. He had fallen into the depths of despair.

’Chen Xuan...’

’What kind of monster is he?!’

’What would even Lord Su Lun be in the face of such a man?’

’Even if Lord Su Lun has lived for three lifetimes, could he really stop him?’

’If we don’t kill Chen Xuan soon, the Longevity Sect is finished!’

"What are you laughing at?"

Chen Xuan frowned.

"..."

Elder Cang Er said nothing. Knowing he had no hope of survival, energy began to surge violently within him. His face twisted, and a radiant light began to seep from his every pore.

Chen Xuan’s eyes narrowed, and he stomped down hard.

CRACK!

SPLAT!

Just as the old man was about to self-detonate, Chen Xuan crushed his head underfoot, sending flesh and blood splattering everywhere.

The energy that had been seeping from the pores of his body instantly dissipated. In the blink of an eye, all that remained was a headless corpse.

[...+100,000 retribution points!]

"Trying to self-detonate? In your dreams!"

Chen Xuan said coldly.

’Unless you can manage to self-detonate without making a sound!’

’The second I notice, I’ll just put a stop to it.’

He turned and headed back toward his residence.

Old Deng flew over from the distance, his heart pounding and his face flushed with excitement. "Exhilarating! That was fucking exhilarating! I haven’t had a fight that satisfying in ages!"

"..."

Chen Xuan was inwardly speechless.

’So it’s true you’re dead last on the Heavenly Rankings,’ he thought. ’And not a shred of humility about it, either.’

’The guy was already seriously injured, and you still couldn’t gain the upper hand.’

’And now you’re calling it exhilarating?’

’Exhilarating my ass!’

"Are you okay?"

Chen Xuan looked at Old Deng, noticing the black eye he was sporting.

"Of course I’m fine! Do I look like I’m hurt?"

Old Deng was full of bravado, but then something dawned on him. He asked in shock, "Wait a minute, what’s your Cultivation level? You killed an Outer Saint? You actually killed an Outer Saint!"

’Is he even fucking human?’

’This is completely fucking unnatural.’

"It’s nothing special."

Chen Xuan replied calmly, his tone simple and unadorned.

He started walking toward his previous residence.

"Kid, we can’t stay here long. We have to relocate immediately. If we alert the Longevity Sect’s Leader and their Celestial Saintess, we’ll be in for a world of trouble."

Old Deng, suddenly realizing the danger, added hastily, "The Longevity Sect’s Leader and their Celestial Saintess are both terrifyingly powerful. They’re on a whole other level compared to Yundao and Elder Cang Er. We absolutely cannot take that risk right now..."

"Oh?"

Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow, then nodded. "Alright."

’At least now I have a rough idea of my own strength,’ he thought.

’Dealing with an ordinary Outer Saint is no problem at all.’

’But against a stronger Outer Saint, I can’t be so sure.’

...

...

「At another residence.」

Chen Xuan sat calmly in the main seat, holding a lidded teacup. He lifted the lid, blew gently on the tea, and took a small sip. The fragrant aroma wafted through the air.

It was a simple gesture, but it caused everyone in the room, including Liu Tingquan and Liu Ben, to feel immense pressure.

Liu Ben, in particular, fell to his knees with another THUD, looking utterly obedient.

Seeing this, Zhangyun and the others at his side quickly followed suit, all dropping to their knees.

Liu Tingquan looked at them, startled.

’Seriously?’

’You all knelt. What am I supposed to do now?’

’This makes me stand out. Will he think I’m a troublemaker?’

’When everyone gives the boss a gift, the boss can’t remember who gave what.’

’But if you’re the only one who *doesn’t* give a gift, the boss will definitely remember you.’

So, Liu Tingquan was extremely nervous.

’But the thing is, I don’t have to kneel to Chen Xuan. I’m here to talk business...’

THUD!

Despite his reservations, he knelt anyway.

’I can’t let him think I’m a troublemaker...’

’That would be a miserable way to die.’

"Hm?"

Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow and looked at them with suspicion.

"What are you doing? Why is everyone kneeling?"

"Heh, my... my legs were itchy," Liu Tingquan said with an awkward laugh.

"Oh, right, right, our legs were itchy too," the men beside him chimed in, laughing.

They awkwardly got back to their feet.

After taking a sip of tea, Chen Xuan mulled it over for a moment before saying, "About that cooperation you mentioned before..."
