Chapter 1833 (Raw 1844): Why Fear a Battle?
Someone needed to break the stalemate—in particular, someone who was only a Major Primal Core Venerate.
This was because someone with such a low cultivation would not be able to endure the inheritance of the Faux G.o.d Flame; their soul would explode directly.
Most importantly, it did not matter if Xiao Chen, a Major Primal Core Venerate, managed to get onto the stone pillar with the divine flame. They could kill such a person at any time.
If it were someone like Yan Zhe or Senior Chai, the situation would definitely be different.
The instant Xiao Chen grabbed hold of the Scarlet Blood War Banner, his aura changed, and the war banner flapped noisily, radiating a faint scarlet light.
The atmosphere suddenly changed. It was like an invisible glow appeared around Xiao Chen, s.h.i.+ning a spotlight on him.
Everyone uncontrollably focused on Xiao Chen, unable to ignore him.
“Crack! Crack! Crack!”
The war banners of the three 7-Star pirate groups started waving intensely at this moment. Cracks even appeared in the banner poles.
“He really managed to gain the acknowledgment of the Scarlet Blood War Banner. Quickly, put away the Silver Fox War Banner!”
The Silver Fox Holy Venerate’s expression changed radically. Daring to fly one’s war banner before a legendary Pirate King’s war banner was no doubt a form of mockery.
If one mocked a sovereign war banner, one would naturally have to pay a price.
The Blood Shadow Pirate Group and the Berserk Wind Pirate Group—the other two powerful pirate groups—also put away their war banners in a hurry.
If they persisted, their war banners would definitely break under this pressure.
A strong aura spread out from Xiao Chen’s body, causing Yan Zhe, Senior Chai, and the others to frown slightly.
Then, Xiao Chen gently pushed off with his feet and landed on another stone pillar.
There was no need for further proof.
The moment Xiao Chen grasped the war banner, everyone believed what Yan Zhe said. Xiao Chen was indeed the one who opened the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s treasure trove.
Xiao Chen would indeed be the only person who could get onto the stone pillar with the divine flame.
“Hahaha! Yan Zhe, it looks like you weren’t lying. Little fellow, quickly get onto the stone pillar with the divine flame and retrieve the Faux G.o.d Flame!” the Blood Shadow Pirate Group’s captain laughed loudly.
The stalemate had lasted for a long time. The Holy Venerates present had all tried various methods already but failed to get onto the stone pillar with the divine flame. Now that they saw hope before them, they all felt very excited.
“Junior, what are you waiting for? Quickly get onto the stone pillar with the divine flame and retrieve the Faux G.o.d Flame for us!”
“Stop wasting time. Do you want to die?!”
“Faster! Otherwise, I will kill you.”
The impatient clamor raged at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen smiled coldly in his heart, but his expression remained calm. He felt indifferent.
“No. Before he goes up, I need to leave a restriction in his body first.”
Unlike the others, Yan Zhe knew that Xiao Chen was not as simple as he looked. He was no ordinary Major Primal Core Venerate.
If Yan Zhe simply let Xiao Chen go to the stone pillar with the divine flame, something uncontrollable might happen.
Yan Zhe needed to take some precautionary measures to ensure that nothing would go wrong.
Xiao Chen’s expression did not change much, only frowning slightly at Yan Zhe finally shedding all pretense.
“That’s right. It would be good to leave a restriction. That will prevent this b.a.s.t.a.r.d from playing any tricks. Yan Zhe, you can leave a restriction on his body, but our Heavenly Eagle Castle has to leave one on him too.” The Heavenly Eagle Castle’s Yang Feng immediately chimed in just after Yan Zhe spoke.
“Right, our Fantasy Cloud Sect needs to leave a restriction in his body too,” Ou Zhenyun said coldly while a brilliant light flashed in his eyes.
“That makes sense. Our Blood Shadow Pirate Group wants to leave a restriction on his body too.”
“Hahaha! How can my Silver Fox Pirate Group miss out on such a thing?”
Now that Yan Zhe raised this matter, everyone else chimed in one by one, all wanting to leave restrictions in Xiao Chen’s body.
The Holy Venerates and various true inheritors only saw Xiao Chen as a lamb awaiting slaughter.
There was no respect for Xiao Chen at all, and their words were very presumptuous.
“Interesting! All of you are shouting so happily, but when did I agree to let you all leave restrictions in my body?”
Amid the noisy chatter, a chilly voice suddenly rang out.
Xiao Chen’s eyes swept through the place, over the faces of the various people making a fuss.
As Xiao Chen’s cold gaze wandered about, the noisy chatter slowly turned quiet.
“Humph! Do you think you have the right to object? You are an insignificant Major Primal Core Venerate. To think you dare to be so unruly before us! Don’t forget: your life belongs to our Heavenly Eagle Castle and the Fantasy Cloud Sect.”
Xiao Chen’s gaze infuriated Yang Feng, who continued coldly, “You trash, don’t think of playing any tricks. Just be obedient. Don’t think that, after we gave you some face, you really are the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s reincarnation!”
Xiao Chen s.h.i.+fted his gaze and fixed it on Yang Feng. He did not say anything, only staring coldly at Yang Feng.
After seeing Xiao Chen’s gaze, Yang Feng felt delighted. “What’s wrong? Feeling aggrieved? Everyone here is either a Holy Venerate or a Rank 6 Demonic Dao sect true inheritor. In terms of status, position, and strength, you cannot compare to anyone. Just listen to us obediently.”
Yang Feng turned to Elder Gao, then knelt down on one knee and said, “Elder Gao, please permit me to make a move, to teach him a lesson and make him obediently accept a restriction in his body, to show the might of our Heavenly Eagle Castle!”
Elder Gao’s expression had turned sullen. He also felt extremely upset. He killed so many core disciples of my Heavenly Eagle Castle but still dares to talk back. He really doesn’t understand his situation and is too unruly.
“Good. Yang Feng, you may make a move. Leave a restriction in him on behalf of my Heavenly Eagle Castle. Teach him a lesson in obedience!”
Yang Feng showed wild joy on his face. He finally could teach this fellow a lesson without holding back and wipe out all his previous shame.
While on one knee, Yang Feng performed a cupped-fist salute and said, “Disciple obeys. I will definitely not shame our Heavenly Eagle Castle— Ah!”
Before Yang Feng finished speaking, a blade of gra.s.s had flown over silently. In the next moment, resplendent sword lights burst out of his body. All signs of life immediately disappeared, and sword wounds covered his body with blood spurting out like fountains.
Yang Feng’s body still maintained the posture of kneeling on one knee. The smile of wild joy on his face had not even faded, freezing there.
“Yang Feng!” Elder Gao cried out as he stared at Yang Feng in shock, finding this development inconceivable.
The late-stage Star Venerate Yang Feng, a Heavenly Eagle Castle true inheritor, died before Elder Gao in the blink of an eye.
Preposterous, preposterous, simply absolutely preposterous!
“Senior Brother Yang!”
“Junior Brother Yang!”
“Boom!”
As the many Heavenly Eagle Castle true inheritors and the leading Elder cried out, Yang Feng finally showed a response. His body exploded from the acc.u.mulated sword intent.
Resplendent sword lights soared out, ripping his flesh apart, presenting a cruel sight.
The place fell deathly silent. Everyone revealed an incredulous expression.
As everyone turned to Xiao Chen, a trace of horror flashed in their eyes.
This youth was scarily calm, attacking silently like that.
When Yang Feng knelt on one knee and looked away from Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen attacked without hesitation, wanting to end things quickly.
Xiao Chen had killed a Rank 6 sect true inheritor at the drop of a hat.
Some of the Holy Venerates here might have the strength to kill Yang Feng in one strike. However, they would not dare to do so in front of Elder Gao.
This was simply too arrogant and bold, too lawless.
Even the ambitious and ruthless people of the Demonic Dao could not achieve such decisiveness in killing and boldness.
What was a demon? A demon was one who did not bow to fate, whose pride would not let one obey. Demons were naturally proud, determined not to be ordinary.
Those who humiliated one would die! Those who scolded one would die! Those that wanted to kill one would die!
As Yan Zhe looked at Xiao Chen, he was so shocked that he could not close his mouth, as if it was only at this moment that he truly saw Xiao Chen.
This white-clad bladesman before Yan Zhe was even scarier than he imagined.
From the very beginning, Xiao Chen was not a p.a.w.n that Yan Zhe could grasp. He secretly regretted bringing Xiao Chen here.
“This… This is impossible!”
Elder Gao lost all rationality. As he turned his head to look at Xiao Chen, his eyes brimmed with confusion.
Xiao Chen’s expression remained calm, not changing at all. It was like everything that happened had nothing to do with him.
Elder Gao said through clenched teeth, placing heavy emphasis on each word, “Kill him!”
Xiao Chen replied calmly, “If others want to kill me, I will definitely kill them.”
“Good! Good! Good! If others want to kill me, I will definitely kill them. Heavenly Eagle Castle disciples, heed my order. Immediately kill this white-clad evil fellow!”
“Order received!”
In his rage, Elder Gao snorted coldly, and aside from Long Tingyu—the strongest true inheritor—the other four remaining Heavenly Eagle Castle true inheritors all soared into the air and charged at Xiao Chen.
These true inheritors circulated their demonic Cultivation Technique and forcibly took in the power of everything in the world. Their momentum soared wildly. As they flew over, they were like mountain ranges, like rivers, like the surging sea.
“Good! Come!” Xiao Chen laughed loudly and radiated golden light from his eyes, instantly activating the Great Desolate Eon’s overlord-cla.s.s bloodline.
Then, he reared back and roared. A dragon roar boomed into the surroundings, and a terrible Dragon Might instantly pushed away the ever-present Faux G.o.d Might.
I am a dragon, naturally proud and filled with hot-bloodedness. Why fear a battle?!
