Chapter 380: Chapter 199: Ripping Apart the Corpse Demon! The Calamity Star’s Defenses are Broken

Without a doubt, today’s events would be forever unforgettable, not only for Su Jianxue, Yan Jinghan, and their two companions, but for all the Martial Alliance members in the nearby stronghold...

For years to come, they would boast to their descendants.

"Did you know? Back in my day, your grandpa fought side-by-side with Yama Chen!"

"Back then, I was at the True Qi Eighth Layer, and he was an Outer Saint!"

"That’s right, an Outer Saint came to save *me*, personally. How badass is that?"

Nearby, the Crooked-mouth Daoist and the Lice Monk felt another chill run through them as they exchanged a look.

An unseen exchange of thoughts passed swiftly between them.

’He’s strong. Vicious. His methods are decisive, with no wasted motion.’

’Agreed. A temperament and methods like that... He’s on another level. Truly something else.’

’We need to keep a close eye on him. See if he has any other aces up his sleeve...’

...

After seeing the others off, Chen Xuan’s eyes grew cold. He looked up, continuing to focus on the malice he could feel in his mind.

The source of that malice felt like the epicenter of a bizarre earthquake, rapidly moving farther and farther away.

’Trying to run? You think you can escape?’

To him,

his target was like a rabbit caught in a thermal scope.

As long as that malice lingered, Chen Xuan could lock onto him no matter where he ran.

’Back when I was in the True Qi Realm, I could track an enemy for a thousand miles.’

’Now that I’m in the Outer Saint Realm, I can track them for a hundred thousand miles!’

He could let his target run for a full day and night and still find him.

SWOOSH!

Chen Xuan sprang into action, giving chase.

The monk and the Daoist didn’t hesitate, quickly following behind him and vanishing in the blink of an eye.

「About an hour after they left.」

Figures finally emerged in the distance, their faces a mask of alarm and suspicion as they peered toward the town.

They were from the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect.

"Good thing we followed the Sect Leader’s orders and didn’t get involved with them..."

"What a massacre. They were all wiped out. Not a single survivor at the town entrance."

"Massacre? What about when their Corpse Fiend allies slaughtered the entire town? Wasn’t that a massacre? What happened to them today is just karma!"

"Karma? Shit, we’re an Evil Cult! What the hell are you talking about karma for? You think we’re going to get what’s coming to us one day, too?"

"I never said that!"

"You were taking a shot at us! Let me tell you, once you’re in an Evil Cult, you’re in for life! Don’t even think about going straight!"

"Evil Cult or not, I’d never dare to make an enemy of Yama Chen. I wouldn’t even dream of it... I heard that he can sense you if you so much as think about him!"

"Bullshit. It’s not that crazy. Stop acting like he’s some kind of god. So what if I’m cursing him in my head right now? I’m cursing him as we speak! What’s he gonna do about it?"

"Yeah, me too! Chen Xuan is a piece of shit! Chen Xuan is a son of a bitch! Heh heh, what’s anyone gonna do about it?"

...

The few members of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect laughed nastily.

"What were you wastes of space just saying?"

A cold, sudden voice sounded from behind them.

They all whipped around at once and were so terrified their souls nearly fled their bodies. Their scalps tingled with dread.

Chen Xuan??!

’How is this possible?’

Overcome with terror, they immediately dropped to their knees and began to wail.

"Spare us..."

"I shouldn’t have run my mouth..."

PFFT! PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!

With a casual wave of his hand, bolts of True Essence shot out and killed them all.

Once again, a good number of retribution points appeared.

’In truth, Chen Xuan hadn’t gone far. He had stayed behind to see if any other Evil Cult members would show up to mourn their fallen comrades.’

’After all, it was a common trope.’

’The protagonist wipes out a location, doesn’t get far, and then the enemy’s allies show up. The allies then spout a bunch of threats before preparing a series of schemes and plots...’

And as it turned out, his wait paid off.

’But unfortunately, they were all just small fry.’

’Not a single one of them had even reached the Inner Realm.’

He was sorely disappointed.

"Who are you two? Haven’t you followed me long enough?"

Chen Xuan’s tone was cold as he turned to face the monk and the Daoist several hundred meters away.

The Lice Monk had a scabby head, his robes were tattered, and he had a shifty look on his face.

The Daoist’s mouth was crooked, his eyes were askew, and his hands looked like chicken’s feet...

No matter how you looked at it, the pair was utterly bizarre.

’And they’d been secretly following him this whole time!’

’Heh, we’ve been spotted...’

’I knew we’d be found out. Your concealment art is useless...’

’Useless is still better than yours...’

The monk and the Daoist offered awkward smiles from a distance, having just completed a rapid exchange of thoughts.

Then, without a second thought, they turned and fled.

But just as they began to escape, Chen Xuan’s figure blurred, and with blinding speed, he was right on their heels.

But the monk and Daoist were bizarrely skilled. As if burrowing through the earth, they instantly dove into the ground and began racing away from beneath the surface.

A cold light flared in Chen Xuan’s eyes.

’Trying to escape?’

’Did they really think he was a pushover?’

’He’d been secretly accumulating power for over an hour on this chase.’

’It was all for them.’

"Get out here!"

Chen Xuan let out a furious roar. Scarlet-gold flames erupted from his body, blazing with a blinding brilliance. Purple lightning crackled and sparked within them. He raised his fist and smashed it down on the spot where the two had vanished.

Outer Saint Fourth Layer!

Plus all the various buffs he had active...

Combined with the Unity of Heaven and Man!

This one punch!

It was unbelievably heavy!

Even Chen Xuan himself felt as if he were heaving a celestial palace.

BOOM!!

The terrifying force slammed into the earth’s surface, unleashing an earth-shattering roar. It penetrated deep into the ground, sending out waves of golden ripples that spread rapidly beneath the surface.

For dozens of miles in every direction, the ground crumpled like a sheet of paper. Swept up by Chen Xuan’s power, the land for miles around shattered and caved in.

Even as the monk and the Daoist fled with all their might, they couldn’t help but cry out in terror. They desperately dodged and defended, heedless of anything else, their fear reaching its absolute peak.

"Stop! We mean no harm!"

"Stop, please..."

RUMBLE!

With a final, violent boom, the two screamed as Chen Xuan’s punch blasted them forcefully out from underground. They were sent flying like rag dolls, crashing hard into the distance.
