Chapter 530: Chapter 232: Want to Flex? I’ll Smash Your Ass

Even Chen Xuan and his two companions, who had just arrived, stared ahead in surprise.

The ancient palace before them was trembling violently, rumbling loudly. Countless runes, dense and numerous, surfaced across it, shimmering like brilliant lightning or blazing like a golden sun.

The sight was magnificent.

It was a dazzling spectacle.

But just then!

Suddenly, all the runes receded, and the visions vanished completely.

A figure was flung out of the ancient palace, spewing blood as he flew. He crashed hard onto the street with a loud THUD. The man, clad in a white robe with a precious white sword on his back, had a face twisted in agony.

The man was quite handsome. Under normal circumstances, he would have been the very picture of refined beauty.

But now, he was covered in blood, his face a mask of pain, and pulsing veins bulged across his skin.

It was clear he was gravely injured.

The crowd erupted in an uproar.

All eyes suddenly turned to the Flowing Light Swordsmen, a mixture of expressions on the faces in the crowd.

"Flowing Light Swordsmen, are you badly hurt? How about I give you a hand?"

A burly man said with a smirk, looking at the Flowing Light Swordsmen.

"Sure, come help me up!"

The Flowing Light Swordsmen said with difficulty, his face contorted in pain.

"...On second thought, never mind."

The burly man grinned and immediately backed down.

He was just testing him.

If the swordsman had refused outright, it would have been a sign of severe injury, and the man would have immediately moved in for the kill.

But since he didn’t refuse, the man was now unsure.

"Useless trash!"

The Flowing Light Swordsmen struggled to his feet and, swaying unsteadily, quickly departed.

Countless eyes watched him from behind, but no one dared to make a rash move.

"Huh? People from the shallow darkness!"

Suddenly, the burly man’s eyes flashed. He noticed something and his gaze swept directly over to Chen Xuan, Chu Shanhe, and their companion.

As soon as he spoke, everyone else turned to look as well.

Pair after pair of burning eyes, like torches in the dark, landed on Chen Xuan and his two companions.

An invisible, dangerous, and chilling aura began to permeate the air.

It was like facing a powerful, dark tide.

"What is it? Does everyone have a problem?"

Chen Xuan’s tone was flat. He walked forward, seemingly oblivious, his expression perfectly composed.

His calm demeanor made the crowd falter, their brows furrowing in thought.

’Could it be this man has some backing?’

’Why else would he be so calm?’

"Heh, interesting. It’s been years. I’m surprised to see people from the shallow darkness again."

The burly man from earlier grinned again.

"Surprised? Why don’t you ask your mom if she’s surprised?"

Chen Xuan chuckled and looked at him.

’This guy is obviously trouble.’

’First, he tried to pull a fast one on the Flowing Light Swordsmen. When that didn’t work, he turned his malice on us, deliberately trying to stir up the crowd and turn them against us.’

’And Chen Xuan just loved dealing with people like that.’

"What did you just say?"

The burly man froze, completely dumbfounded.

"What? Are you deaf?"

Chen Xuan’s tone was mild. "How did your mother and I give birth to such a useless piece of shit? If you want to fight, then step up. Don’t just fucking stand there like an idiot, running your mouth. It pains your old man to see you like this."

The crowd stared at Chen Xuan in astonishment.

’How bizarre!’

’Someone actually dared to curse at them?’

’He must have a death wish!’

"You little bastard, you’ve really pissed me off. Don’t worry, I’m about to teach you a lesson!"

The burly man’s face twisted into a savage grin. He was fuming with rage, ready to throw all caution to the wind.

WHOOSH! He charged, lunging abruptly toward Chen Xuan.

His muscles bulged and power surged through him. A dense, dark energy gathered in his palm as he brought it down hard on Chen Xuan.

But just as his palm descended, Chen Xuan casually caught it, gripping his wrist. Chen Xuan’s other hand swung around and slapped toward the man’s head.

The burly man’s expression changed drastically. He clearly hadn’t expected Chen Xuan to be so fast or so strong.

He quickly raised his other arm to block.

CRACK!

THUD!

With a muffled bang, his arm exploded in a spray of flesh and blood.

Not only did his entire arm explode,

but the powerful slap, carrying bits of shredded flesh, slammed viciously into his head.

SLAP! Chen Xuan drove the man’s entire head down into his torso until it emerged from between his legs.

The burly man was terrified. Even with his head shoved into his own torso, he wasn’t dead. A panicked voice emanated from him, "Stop! I’m from the deep darkness! Aren’t you afraid of offending the powers that reside there?"

"I called you a piece of trash, and you do nothing to prove me wrong. You’re still trying to threaten me at a time like this? You think that’s going to work?"

A wide grin spread across Chen Xuan’s face.

After slapping the man’s head down between his legs, Chen Xuan curled his fingers into a claw and pressed it against the man’s neck. In an instant, the Unwarranted Heart Fire ignited.

"ARGH!"

The burly man let out a bloodcurdling scream as his entire body was instantly engulfed in flames, writhing in agony.

Then, with a forceful shock from Chen Xuan, the man’s body exploded on the spot.

[You have slain a creature of the deep darkness. Retribution points +150,000!]

WHOOSH!

Suddenly, a dangerous presence shot toward Chen Xuan.

Chu Shanhe’s expression changed. "Chen Xuan, watch out!" he yelled.

His body blurred as he moved to intercept the figure.

But Chen Xuan was far faster. Just as Chu Shanhe started to move, Chen Xuan moved like a phantom, flashing past him in an instant. He had already unleashed a palm strike, sending it hurtling toward the attacking figure.

The attacker had intended to catch Chen Xuan off guard with a sneak attack, drawing his sword to cut him down, but he never imagined Chen Xuan could be so fast.

The moment the attacker’s Swordsmanship manifested in a thrust, Chen Xuan’s hand had already shot out like lightning and grabbed the longsword. With a forceful twist, he warped the blade into scrap metal, then drove his golden palm viciously toward the man’s chest.
