Chapter 1821 (Raw 1832): Thunder Dragon Nine Transformations
Yan Chen really felt extremely depressed. He was just here to watch the excitement. Who did he offend?
To think that the inherited Dao Tool spontaneously flew into his hand!
Yan Chen did not need this demonic Dao Tool. It was just trouble in his hand.
“Big Brother Xiao, for you.”
Yan Chen extended his hand, proffering the demonic mirror to Xiao Chen.
The black demonic flame on the scarlet demonic mirror spread to Yan Chen’s body and immediately blazed fiercely.
The black demonic flame filled the air and soared up to the clouds.
Demonic Might overflowed, and the peak under them trembled slightly, causing countless boulders to tumble down.
Xiao Chen’s expression flickered, and he quickly tilted his body to dodge.
“Boom!”
A black light shot out of the demonic mirror, and a few extremely tragic shrieks rang out.
Xiao Chen turned his head to take a look. It turned out that some of the faster Demonic Dao cultivators had charged over, and the black light pierced through them.
Without exception, the black light had burned a large hole through the chests of all the Demonic Dao cultivators it hit.
The black flame continued to burn around the wounds, endlessly spreading.
The flesh and blood necrotized, emitting a foul odor. It was very shocking and unbearable to watch.
Xiao Chen’s lips twitched. If that had struck him…
He turned his head to look at Yan Chen. Then, he smiled awkwardly. “Little monk, you have delicate features, thick eyebrows, and big eyes. I really could not tell that you hid yourself so deeply.”
“Benefactor Xiao, Young Master Xiao, Big Brother Xiao, I…I…” Yan Chen seemed startled by this scene as well. When he spoke, he stuttered a bit.
It was hard to describe how he felt with words.
“Stop it with the ‘I’s. Quickly put it away. We have to run.”
Xiao Chen carried Yan Chen with one hand and executed Thunder Dragon Burst. His figure flashed, and they disappeared, reappearing fifty kilometers away.
“Netherworld Foul Flame!”
When the others saw the black light pierce through the Demonic Dao cultivators, their eyes lit up with great joy.
“Hahaha! After it!”
“The Netherworld Foul Flame. It must have been very difficult to refine it. It truly lives up to being an inherited Dao Tool. Even the Heavenly Lightning does not permit its existence.”
“Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+”
Seeing the direction that Xiao Chen fled in, the Demonic Dao elites gave chase.
Although Xiao Chen held the upper hand in speed, he happened to be carrying a person and could not shake off the people behind.
“Stop running. Little baldy, we meet again.”
“Boom!”
Suddenly, a clump of demonic clouds descended in front. Then, the clouds scattered, and the Fantasy Cloud Sect’s Qiao Jiangsheng revealed himself.
“It’s you!”
When Yan Chen saw this person, he immediately felt enraged. “You despicable person, you actually sneak-attacked me. When I recover my strength, I will chop you into eight pieces!”
“Hahaha! Many thanks for the praise. However, you are a monk, yet your murderous intent is so heavy. This is somewhat surprising.”
Although Qiao Jiangsheng spoke to Yan Chen, his gaze remained on Xiao Chen.
The injured Yan Chen was not much of a strong opponent for Qiao Jiangsheng. The one that he could not figure out was the person beside Yan Chen.
Although Xiao Chen’s cultivation was not high, Qiao Jiangsheng’s sharp senses picked up a dangerous aura from him.
“Qiao Jiangsheng, you are really fast.”
“Whoos.h.!.+”
A vast might that pulled on the power of everything in the world surged over.
Despite the absence of wind, Xiao Chen felt a huge pressure.
This feeling was familiar. It was someone from the Heavenly Eagle Castle.
The one who came was Si Shengjie. He jumped down from a Heavenly Thunder Eagle and happened to block off one of Xiao Chen’s possible paths.
“Si Shengjie, we are about the same.”
Qiao Jiangsheng made a strange smile. There was only one inherited Dao Tool. It would be hard to avoid a fight between the two.
“Little baldy, you managed to escape last time. This time, let’s see where you can run to. Today, I will take revenge for my brother. Eating you will ease the hatred in my heart.”
“Whoos.h.!.+” Si Shengjie did not give the situation much thought. He leaped into the air and smashed his ax towards Yan Chen.
It looked like everything in the world—flowers, gra.s.s, trees, the ground, the demonic clouds in the sky, and many other things—had some of their lifeforce extracted by Si Shengjie.
The lifeforce gathered in Si Shengjie’s body. As he flew over in the air, his aura soared. When he was about to land, Xiao Chen and Yan Chen felt somewhat breathless from the pressure.
This person was at least twice as strong as Si Hongyi, the Heavenly Eagle Castle core disciple that Xiao Chen killed previously.
Just as the ax was about to chop Yan Chen apart, Xiao Chen stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and used two fingers to catch the ax.
Using my body as a cauldron, connecting the sky and the ground, gathering all the energy in my body to freeze s.p.a.ce. This was Xiao Chen’s Secret Technique, the Sharp Spirit Finger.
“Go back!”
Xiao Chen relaxed his fingers slightly, and the Veritable Essence Energy, Great Dao Energy, and Vital Qi gathered by the Sharp Spirit Finger suddenly erupted.
“Bang!” With a loud sound, Si Shengjie, who arrived with a surging momentum, got knocked back.
After Si Shengjie landed, he felt his Qi and blood surging. Not only had the force that he injected into his ax rebounded, but there was also the force from Xiao Chen added to it, leaving him with a big problem.
Qiao Jiangsheng’s eyelids twitched. Earlier, he was regretting letting Si Shengjie make the first move.
Now, he felt lucky that it happened. Fortunately, there was this fool to test this white-clad fellow’s depths.
This white-clad person was mysterious and could not be underestimated.
“Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+”
Demonic Dao cultivators arrived in a steady stream. When they saw this scene from the air, they felt startled.
Unexpectedly, Si Shengjie, the strongest core disciple of the Heavenly Eagle Castle, got knocked back with just two fingers.
“d.a.m.n! What terrifying strength! To think that he could catch Si Shengjie’s powerful strike with just two fingers. That is really incredible.”
“Even the true inheritors of the three great Demonic Dao sects would not be able to do that so easily.”
“He cannot be underestimated. That is clearly a Secret Technique. There are many tricks behind it.”
“Where did this white-clad youth come from? I have never heard of him. He must be here for the nightless mysterious phenomenon, right?”
After the many Demonic Dao cultivators, Starlight Sea Region pirates, and some loose cultivators saw the earlier scene, they did not dare to act rashly.
Xiao Chen observed his surroundings and felt some disappointment.
The strongest people here were mostly at the same level as Si Shengjie and Qiao Jiangsheng.
None of the three great Demonic Dao sects’ true inheritors appeared at all.
There was not a single peak late-stage Star Venerate expert. It looked like they would not appear until the nightless mysterious phenomenon occurred.
One could enter the core main peak of Myriad Star Mountain only when the nightless mysterious phenomenon occurred and the eternal starlight scattered the demonic clouds. That would be the time for a true ma.s.sacre.
Right now, everyone was making their final preparations. Anyone who revealed themselves would end up exposing some of their strength.
None of the strongest people would be so foolish. They were all in closed-door cultivation and had only prompted some of the disciples in their sects to cause small commotions.
Although an inherited Dao Tool appeared, those people would not know of it.
When Xiao Chen figured that out, he felt disappointed.
Never mind. Since I have already exposed my strength, there is no need to continue hiding it.
It would be good to use this opportunity to take this inherited Dao Tool, preventing it from falling into the hands of some Demonic Dao expert.
“Lad, where do you come from?” Si Shengjie asked sullenly as he glared at Xiao Chen.
After the earlier lesson, Si Shengjie no longer dared to act rashly. Although Demonic Dao cultivators were lawless and unruly, they always respected the strong.
This was the law of the jungle. Whoever’s fist was larger had reason on their side.
“You are not qualified to know where I come from.”
Thunder Dragon Nine Transformations!
Xiao Chen attacked at the drop of a hat, with no prior warning.
Everyone only saw Xiao Chen draw, then sheathe his saber in the blink of an eye.
Before they could understand what happened, they saw eighty-one saber lights striking Si Shengjie’s physical body. Then, he screamed and fell to the ground dead.
The people watching broke out in cold sweat. As they looked at Xiao Chen, they felt a chill and retreated hastily.
“Let’s go!”
Remaining expressionless, Xiao Chen soared into the air, carrying Yan Chen, leaving those elites exchanging glances.
After seeing Si Shengjie’s body riddled with saber wounds, the others did not dare to give chase.
Suspicion flashed in Qiao Jiangsheng’s eyes. He took a few steps and arrived before Si Shengjie’s corpse.
After Qiao Jiangsheng checked the body, his expression changed. He raised his head and glared at the direction Xiao Chen had taken. Then, he cursed, “d.a.m.n it! He fooled us. That fellow is not that strong!”
Si Shengjie’s death was entirely due to carelessness.
After suffering a loss earlier when Xiao Chen’s Sharp Spirit Finger broke his attack, Si Shengjie had not expected Xiao Chen to attack at the drop of a hat.
Before Si Shengjie could circulate his demonic Cultivation Technique, Xiao Chen had killed him within one breath of time.
In a normal exchange, Xiao Chen’s saber light would not have been able to pierce Si Shengjie’s body. At best, he would only have been able to injure Si Shengjie severely—but not to the point of instantly killing him.
As long as Xiao Chen did not have the strength to instantly kill Si Shengjie, with the many people here attacking together, he would not stand a chance at all.
If Xiao Chen were really that strong, he would not have needed to leave immediately after killing Si Shengjie.
Qiao Jiangsheng stood up and gave chase in Xiao Chen’s direction.
However, Xiao Chen had already gone far away. How could Qiao Jiangsheng catch up?
