Chapter 1898 (Raw 1999): Blood Dragon Guards
There was a total of six people accompanying Zhang Yunxuan. All of them were core disciples as well as early-stage Holy Venerates.
When the six saw Zhang Yunxuan becoming like a sandbag in Xiao Chen’s hand, ruthlessly crushed, they immediately felt very anxious.
These people rushed over at their fastest speed, wanting to rescue Zhang Yunxuan.
“Boom!”
Six Holy Venerates soared into the air at the same time. In an instant, winds blew and clouds surged as they sent out strong auras. No one dared to get close to the foot of this mountain. Caught off guard, the inner palace disciples that were watching the commotion got knocked back, vomiting blood.
“Xiao Chen, you are dead for sure. Dead for sure! To think that you dared to attack your fellow sect members within the Heavenly Dragon Palace. No one can rescue you today!”
After being ruthlessly smashed by Xiao Chen, Zhang Yunxuan felt like all the bones in his body had shattered; he was in so much pain that he vomited blood.
He gritted his teeth tightly but did not look like he was willing to admit defeat at all. He howled with laughter while bloodied, looking terrifying and crazy.
At the same time, he drove all the Veritable Energy Energy in his body, doing his best to break free of Xiao Chen’s grip.
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The silent Xiao Chen remained standing where he was, repeatedly smas.h.i.+ng Zhang Yunxuan into the ground, using more force each time. Eventually, the ground thoroughly cracked apart, and the peak, where the Mission Hall was, trembled slightly.
Xiao Chen attacked extremely quickly. Before the six Holy Venerates could charge over, Xiao Chen had already smashed Zhang Yunxuan into the ground ten-odd times.
Zhang Yunxuan’s body was now mangled, in a sorry state. However, he still gritted his teeth and hung on. Eventually, he gave up on struggling free and used his Veritable Essence Energy only to protect his body as he howled wildly.
“Let go of Senior Brother Zhang!”
The six Holy Venerates charged over to attack Xiao Chen.
“Good timing!” Xiao Chen smiled coldly as he raised Zhang Yunxuan, using him as a bludgeon in a horizontal sweep.
The six Holy Venerates charging over with ferocious auras refrained from attacking lest they injure Zhang Yunxuan. They all moved back, not daring to clash head-on.
“Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+”
Zhang Yunxuan in hand, Xiao Chen did not retreat, suddenly advancing instead as he brandished Zhang Yunxuan’s body. He suppressed the six Holy Venerates in this fight.
“Some Holy Venerates. You are only so-so. Here, take him back!”
Xiao Chen faced six Holy Venerates alone but managed to suppress the other party into not daring to show their temper. Smiling coldly, he infused his Veritable Essence Energy and Great Dao Energy into the body of Zhang Yunxuan, who was limp like a dead dog. Then, he flung Zhang Yunxuan at the six.
Zhang Yunxuan’s limp body flew towards the six. A strong wind blew, and the ground cracked wherever he pa.s.sed, kicking up sand and pebbles.
The six Holy Venerates’s faces turned ashen. It was clear that they should not catch Zhang Yunxuan. However, if they did not, he would receive even worse injuries.
The six felt unwilling, but they had no choice but to catch him.
“Go forward together and catch Senior Brother Zhang!”
The six steeled themselves, showing grave expressions as they merged their auras. Then, they each extended a hand while they soared into the air and caught the falling Zhang Yunxuan.
“Boom!”
A berserk force came from Zhang Yunxuan’s body. The six felt their Qi and blood surge. They forced themselves to endure and did not end up vomiting blood.
After the six landed, they staggered several steps back before they managed to catch their breaths.
After knocking back six Holy Venerates, Xiao Chen smiled faintly before turning to leave.
“You want to leave? It’s not that easy!”
The six Holy Venerates felt very sullen. Earlier, they could not attack in fear of injuring Zhang Yunxuan. Hence, Xiao Chen suppressed them before so many inner palace disciples.
Now that the six had retrieved their Senior Brother Zhang, how could they swallow the frustration from that?
The six gave off horrifying killing Qi, becoming clad in scarlet light, the result of the anger from six Holy Venerates.
The six stared at Xiao Chen, bringing out their horrifying Holy Venerate Wills at the same time. Then, they pressed it toward him. Now completely hostile to him, they ignored the fact that they were one cultivation grade higher than him, wanting to keep him here.
The people at the foot of the mountain all took in a sharp breath of cold air.
“You are not willing to submit? That’s fine. I will make you all submit today. Not just anyone can block my path!”
Xiao Chen showed a faint smile as the blood in his body rushed. A strong desire to fight arose in his heart. It felt like a flame was blazing in his eyes.
“Whoos.h.!.+”
Right after Xiao Chen spoke, he turned into a flash of lightning. Just as the six Holy Venerates’ strong wills of soul were about to encase him, he executed Light of Freedom. At a perilous moment, he left his original spot.
When Xiao Chen reappeared, he was fifty kilometers away. As he hovered in the air, he showed a smile.
“There he is!”
With a thought, the six Holy Venerates sent their horrifying Holy Venerate Wills rus.h.i.+ng out. How fast could the wills fly? These were something accomplished with one thought, practically undodgeable once they appeared.
However, in the next moment, Xiao Chen’s body turned into a flash of lightning and dodged the six combined wills of soul by a hair’s breadth.
“Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+”
As lightning, Xiao Chen charged around in the air, snaking back and forth. He maintained a smile on his face as if mocking the six and appeared at ease. He moved about the sky as he pleased, as free as the wind, as free as light.
The six Holy Venerates originally came with surging auras, looking like victory was at hand.
The six Holy Venerate Wills nearly covered every corner, so fast that they could arrive anywhere with a thought.
No matter how one looked at it, six Holy Venerates could not possibly lose to a middle-stage Star Venerate.
However, the very opposite happened.
The six, who should have easily crushed Xiao Chen with their wills of soul, were sweating heavily. They felt anxious and frustrated. Their Holy Venerate Wills charged around back and forth, going in circles at Xiao Chen’s whim.
The Holy Venerate Wills were ineffective, only tiring the six to the edge of collapse.
After the six’s attacks missed, the smile vanished from Xiao Chen’s face as he said indifferently, “I’ve had enough fun. It’s my turn to attack.”
Before the six could react and understand what Xiao Chen’s words meant, they saw a bolt of lightning charging at them.
Just as the six felt uncertain, the lightning bolt suddenly turned into a terrifying and berserk lightning dragon. Then, a strong Dragon Might swept out.
“How is that possible? That is no longer Light of Freedom.”
“d.a.m.n it! Since when could Light of Freedom be changed into an offensive Martial Technique?!”
The six fatigued and sweating Holy Venerates did not have enough time to withdraw their Holy Venerate Wills. They retreated hastily in a fl.u.s.ter.
With the six’s current condition, they could not withstand the attack of this roaring lightning dragon.
However, was it possible for them to flee?
When the dragon roared, the sound shook the sky. When the Dragon Might arrived, it was like a ruler descending from heaven.
The lightning dragon rammed three Holy Venerates, knocking them to the ground and causing them to vomit blood. The electric light charred their entire bodies black. Then, the dragon tail swept around and smacked the remaining three into the air.
“Rumble…!” There were three loud sounds as the three Holy Venerates crashed into a mountain peak.
Mountain rocks shattered, and the three were immediately buried in the mountain peak.
“Whoos.h.!.+”
A light flickered, and the lightning dragon returned to its original form. Xiao Chen landed on the ground, looking clean in his white robes.
Before the crowd could let out gasps of surprise, terrifying auras suddenly flew over in the sky.
Three scarlet-clad peak early-stage Holy Venerates experts radiating horrifying killing intent arrived from the distance.
“The Law Enforcement Hall’s Blood Dragon Guards!”
“Trouble is here. The Blood Dragon Guards are here. Xiao Chen injured so many core disciples in one go, breaking the sect rules. He will definitely be heavily punished.”
“How unfortunate. This matter clearly isn’t Xiao Chen’s fault.”
“However, he should have had more restraint. No matter what, he should not have attacked first.”
“Then, what? Let others bully and humiliate him?”
There were many inner palace disciples who had watched this matter from the very beginning. They felt that it was unfair to Xiao Chen. The fault of the matter did not lie with him.
“Who attacked while inside the sect, injuring his fellow sect members?” the middle person of the three scarlet-clad guards demanded coldly.
Zhang Yunxuan, who had fallen to the ground like a dead dog, suddenly jumped up and pointed, shouting, “It’s him! It’s him! It’s him!
“He is the one! He is the one who broke the sect rules and harmed those of his sect. He is very arrogant and condescending, making the first move…”
“How noisy!”
Xiao Chen snorted coldly and swung his hand, slapping Zhang Yunxuan and sending him flying.
He is truly like a fly. There really is no end to this.
“How bold of you! To think that you dare to attack in front of us. Come with us.”
The three Blood Dragon Guards’ expressions turned cold. Then, they descended towards Xiao Chen, wanting to restrain him and bring him away.
“Scram.”
Xiao Chen raged slightly in his heart. He spread his fingers and executed Firmament’s Rage, a Dragon’s Gate Secret Technique, injecting his feelings into it.
A colossal, burning hand immediately appeared in front, covering the sky. An ancient Great Desolate Eon Dragon Might traveled through time and s.p.a.ce, letting out an angry roar. It was like the firmament’s rage.
The three Blood Dragon Guards felt greatly startled, caught off guard. They did not expect that Xiao Chen would dare to resist.
“Pa!” Xiao Chen smashed them down, suppressing them with a flip of his hand.
