Chapter 755: Trying to Run? Too Late!
Xiao Chen packed very simply and casually asked, "Are you not afraid of Mo Lingtian recognizing you if you go to the Eternal Heavenly Sword School like this?"
Nangong Qiong smiled and replied, "Naturally, I'm not afraid. I arrived in Hunluo City not long ago. You don't have to worry."
Indeed, this was more or less in line with Xiao Chen's speculation. This girl could be in the upper echelon of the Flourishing Heaven Pavilion's headquarters, not an insignificant Honorable of the local Flourishing Heaven Pavilion branch.
Soon after the two left the courtyard, Xiao Chen felt a gaze on him. Nangong Qiong also frowned slightly and said, "You sure are full of trouble. Do you want to deal with it first?"
Xiao Chen's expression did not change. He guessed who it was, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He replied, "There is no need to bother. He is waiting for me to leave the city. Also, it's not like I haven't been waiting for him."
After leaving the city and traveling fifty kilometers, they arrived at a desolate road. Xiao Chen's eyes constricted. He was not surprised to see the sinister Wu Yuankai giving off a surging killing Qi.
Wu Yuankai wore his dark gold gloves and looked at Xiao Chen. His face twitched as he smiled sinisterly. "You are really courageous, leaving the city even before ten days are up. Did you think I just said it for fun?"
Why is this fellow so bold? Does he not see me standing together with Nangong Qiong? Xiao Chen thought, feeling it was strange. So he looked around.
However, Xiao Chen discovered Nangong Qiong revealing a faint smile and folding her arms across her chest, looking like this matter had nothing to do with her and she was just watching a show. At some point in time, she had moved a kilometer away.
This woman…
"Today, I do not have to hold back. Let's see how capable you are! You can die now!"
Before Xiao Chen could think, Wu Yuankai had already charged over with a flourishing aura. He sent out punches wildly, and many sinister underworld rivers surged over.
Xiao Chen's eyes flickered as he pushed off the ground, dodging the fist winds. Wu Yuankai had held in his anger for several days by now, so his aura was at its peak. Hence, Xiao Chen let Wu Yuankai vent his frustrations first.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Underworld rivers with black Qi moved around like berserk dragons dancing in the air. Suddenly, cries of aggrieved spirits rang out continuously. It looked like a horrifying hell descended into the mortal realm.
Wu Yuankai's black hair flared up, split down the middle. He had a sinister expression as he glared at Xiao Chen moving around and dodging.
As Wu Yuankai chased after Xiao Chen, the force from his dark-gold-glove-clad fists caused the air to tremble, creating rumbling sounds without end.
His heart raged as he watched Xiao Chen dodging without fighting back. Then he arrogantly mocked Xiao Chen, "White-robed brat, weren't you very powerful that day? What's wrong now? Where did all your courage go?!"
As Xiao Chen's clothes fluttered, he merely smiled faintly and ignored him. His left hand held on to the sheathed Lunar Shadow Saber and casually swung it, scattering a fist wind.
As the underworld rivers surged, Xiao Chen stood on the Azure Dragon image, moving back and forth, up and down, as fast as the wind.
Due to Wu Yuankai's wild attacks, huge deep pits appeared in the ground. Dirt flew everywhere, kicking up dust clouds and covering the sun.
"Bastard! If you have the guts, stop running."
Relying on the Azure Dragon Cloud Soaring Art, Xiao Chen moved everywhere. Wu Yuankai sent out all sorts of horrifying attacks, but these merely brushed past him.
Wu Yuankai's initial pleased arrogant mockery turned into hoarse roars of anger and frustration.
Xiao Chen's heart remained tranquil. He had already made up his mind to keep this person here permanently, not leaving himself any future trouble. Naturally, he would not care about these verbal attacks.
Almost there.
After another hundred moves, Wu Yuankai's momentum dwindled. Xiao Chen focused his gaze and placed his right hand on the saber hilt. Then, he let the aura he suppressed for all this time burst out.
"Hidden Dragon in the Depths, Soaring Dragon!"
I will not make a move but will let you hoot arrogantly. However, when I finally make my move, I will definitely startle the heavens, revealing an unparalleled sharpness!
Xiao Chen stepped forward with his right foot on the air. The surging black underworld rivers immediately scattered and turned into black rain falling to the ground.
Without waiting for Wu Yuankai to react, Xiao Chen turned into a True Dragon and soared into the sky as he drew his Lunar Shadow Saber at lightning speed.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Loud sounds resounded continuously as Xiao Chen flew around. He used his saber light to strike down the black underworld rivers in the sky, shattering them easily.
This development startled Wu Yuankai. He had not expected that Xiao Chen, whom he had suppressed for such a long time, would display such startling might after making a move.
Without having much time to think, Wu Yuankai threw rapid-fire punches, his fists dancing around, creating scenes of the nine layers of purgatory. At the same time, he quickly retreated.
Xiao Chen smiled coldly to himself. My aura is flourishing. My stances of the True Dragon flying are already completely formed. This is not something that your scene of the nine layers of purgatory, which you materialized in a hurry, can handle.
In merely the blink of an eye, Xiao Chen smashed through the scene of hell that just formed. The True Dragon soared into the nine heavens without losing any momentum.
Wu Yuankai cursed and had no choice but to take this move head-on. A loud 'bang' resounded, and his protective Quintessence nearly shattered.
Blood trickled out of a corner of Wu Yuankai's lips as he took a hundred steps back. He glared hatefully at Xiao Chen, wanting to counterattack right away.
However, even though Wu Yuankai moved quickly, Xiao Chen moved even faster. Since Xiao Chen had already suppressed his opponent's momentum to rock bottom, how could he give him the chance to turn things around?
"Ghostly Image Chop!"
The saber images he sent out split and turned into seventy-two saber images, forming a sea of lightning that knocked Wu Yuankai back once more before launching another unpredictable saber Qi.
Wu Yuankai experienced this once before, so he dodged in advance. He evaded danger after danger as the extremely fast saber Qi brushed by him.
"Return of the Azure Dragon! Return of the Azure Dragon! Return of the Azure Dragon!"
Before even completing his move, Xiao Chen immediately repositioned himself and executed the Dragon Subduing Slash's first move without caring about the Quintessence expenditure. Different Azure Dragons broke through the surface of the sea in the mysterious phenomenon. Ferocious dragon roars resounded throughout heaven and earth.
A three-hundred-meter dragon-shaped saber Qi containing vast Dragon Might hacked down time and again.
Wu Yuankai blocked six times continuously, retreating each time. He could no longer suppress his injuries and vomited blood. Then, he shouted maniacally, "Hahaha! Bring it on. Go on. Show this old man how long you can last."
Xiao Chen remained silent and sent out another four attacks, sending out a total of ten Return of the Azure Dragons before stopping.
These strikes knocked Wu Yuankai in the air. At this moment, he was in an extremely sorry state. His long hair straggled everywhere. His face was pale, and blood kept leaking out of a corner of his lips.
In truth, any half-Sage, even if it were one of the seven giants, would not fare much better than Wu Yuankai after receiving ten Heaven Ranked Martial Techniques in quick succession.
Nangong Qiong, who was now three kilometers away, revealed shock on her face. She gaped and said, "Is this fellow crazy? Even if he has a lot of Quintessence, this is not the way to use it!"
Wu Yuankai, who was in a pathetic state, watched as Xiao Chen sheathed his saber and stood upright. However, he looked up and laughed wildly. "I have given you time to be arrogant already. It is time for you to die!"
Nine underworld rivers descended from the sky behind Wu Yuankai. His Quintessence surged and charged over while emanating an overwhelming baleful aura.
"Myriad Heaven Divine Fist, Distant Legend!"
Xiao Chen casually tossed the Lunar Shadow Saber to the ground. Then, a golden light suddenly appeared in Xiao Chen's eyes. Sagely music abruptly resounded in heaven and earth.
A vast divine aura spread out from Xiao Chen, who was now glowing golden, illuminating the surroundings.
Wu Yuankai continued charging over frantically, not fearing Xiao Chen, who had exhausted most of his Quintessence.
As Xiao Chen moved, the sagely songs surrounded him. The gazes of deities on the other side breached time and space, focusing on him.
"Bang!"
Xiao Chen punched, and the fist wind merged with the sagely music. Boundless golden light flooded out, blanketing the area. The nine sinister-looking and frightening underworld rivers could not flee this light.
Sizzling sounds rang out continuously as the black underworld rivers got purified into strands of black Qi that scattered into space.
When Wu Yuankai charged forward, the light shone on his body. The contact felt like fire spreading throughout his body, and he screamed in anguish.
"Radiance of Deities!"
Xiao Chen's expression did not change. His black hair now gave off golden light as the strands fluttered wildly in the air. The gazes of deities pierced through time and space, gathering on him.
His fist burst out with an intense light like a miniature golden sun. It was very dazzling.
Wu Yuankai had just removed the golden light on his body when he saw this piercing golden light. This sight scared him to the point of turning ashen.
"Hasn't this fellow exhausted all his Quintessence already? How is he so powerful?!"
The golden light turned into fist wind and rushed to the front. Everywhere it passed, dust disintegrated without the light diminishing.
Wu Yuankai did not dare to be careless, so he unleashed all the Heavenly Sage Laws he had formed. These turned into a complete underworld river winding around his body.
At this moment, Wu Yuankai brought out the full power of the Blood Shadow Underworld River Fist. He clashed with that blazing light, and a horrifyingly loud sound blasted out.
Shock waves surged through the air. Nangong Qiong, who was three kilometers away, changed her expression slightly as she quickly retreated. The golden shock waves nearly stuck to her face when they surged over.
Had she retreated even a heartbeat late, the shock waves would have struck her. When she felt the hot wind on her face, her expression immediately turned grave.
"In a short five days, he already learned two moves of the Myriad Heaven Divine Fist. This fellow is truly somewhat unfathomable."
However, the thing that would astonish her had yet to be seen. At this point, when facing Xiao Chen, who executed Radiance of Deities, Wu Yuankai now felt fear and wanted to escape.
After clashing head-on several times, severe injuries now covered him. Initially, Wu Yuankai thought that when Xiao Chen had exhausted his Quintessence, he could deal with Xiao Chen easily. However, Xiao Chen suddenly displayed this horrifying Fist Technique of unknown origins to him, causing him to fear and not dare continue fighting.
As Xiao Chen watched Wu Yuankai retreat miserably, his lips curled up, and he said in a low voice, "Trying to run now? It is already too late!"
"Deities Descending!
The golden image of a sovereign deity broke through the barrier of the vast sky, a divine light that flowed into Xiao Chen's body.
Xiao Chen's aura instantly soared without end as he gave off a profound light. Every creature in the world seemed to be worshiping him. Even Nangong Qiong felt a change in her mind.
The divine figure of Xiao Chen before her looked like a deity descending to the mortal realm, quashing all thoughts of resistance in her heart.
"Bang!"
Xiao Chen stepped forward in the air, and the entire space trembled. Cracks appeared on the ground in a spiderweb pattern, forming many bottomless fissures.
He moved like a flashing meteor and instantly caught up to the fleeing Wu Yuankai. A berserk force erupted along with his fist wind.
Wu Yuankai could not resist at all. With one punch, his body burst into a large bloody blossom splashing through the sky.
As the divine light in Xiao Chen's body disappeared, he stretched his hands out and grabbed Wu Yuankai's spatial ring and his priceless dark gold gloves, then placed them in his Universe Ring.
Xiao Chen casually waved his hand, and the Lunar Shadow Saber stuck in the ground flew back into his grasp. Then he gently landed beside Nangong Qiong.
"Pa! Pa! Pa!"
A cheerful smile appeared on Nangong Qiong's face. Clapping her elegant, lily-white hands gently, she said, "Young Master Xiao's techniques are excellent. No wonder you dared to challenge Bai Wuxue."
After watching for so long, Nangong Qiong greeted his arrival with something like that. This woman's conduct made it really hard to feel happy about having her as his companion.
