Chapter 768: Complete Suppression

Chapter 768: Complete Suppression

A middle-aged man at the side frowned slightly and said, “Xuan Yu, just waiting like this is not a solution. How about I go in and check out the situation, see what that white-robed brat is doing?”

Xuan Yu’s face sank. An intense bloodthirst flashed in his eyes as he replied frostily, “A Senior Elder of my Xuan Clan will arrive today. At that time, the Senior Elder can lead us in.”

Hidden in the shadows at the exit of the grave palace, Xiao Chen saw all this. His lips curled up, and a cold murderous intent chilled his delicate countenance.

There would always be some people up to foolishness.

“Is Young Master Xuan looking for me?”

Xiao Chen walked out of the shadows and stood in front of the grave palace’s steps. He looked at the distant Xuan Yu and smiled faintly as his carefree voice rang out.

When the blazing sunlight shone on Xiao Chen, it made his white robes glow faintly. In that instant, it seemed like all the light focused on him, putting him in the spotlight.

The dazzling light stunned Xuan Yu for a moment. However, right then, rage filled him. He did not even stop to wonder how such a situation could happen.

Seeing Xiao Chen and his fluttering white robes, he revealed an expression of joy. He shouted, “That is him. Kill him and the hundred thousand Astral Coins, as well as the painting pieces, will be yours.”

The thirty-odd half-Sages discovered Xiao Chen the moment he appeared at the exit.

The instincts of these half-Sages warned that Xiao Chen should be an extremely dangerous person. However, when they checked his cultivation, they discovered that he was just a half-Sage, so they relaxed.

No matter how dangerous Xiao Chen was, there were thirty of them. Furthermore, they were all accomplished half-Sages and not half-Sages like Situ Lei, who had been an early-stage half-Sage without any Heavenly Sage Laws.

In the eyes of these loose cultivators, Xiao Chen was just a fat lamb waiting for the slaughter.

“Kill!”

The leader immediately charged over with an overwhelming baleful aura. Ten-odd fine scarlet Heavenly Sage Laws undulated behind him, making him look like a ferocious ancient war god.

“Blood Hand Chop!” this person shouted coldly, and his right hand suddenly turned red. It looked very demonic as if dripping with fresh blood.

The middle-aged man smiled at Xuan Yu and said, “This Blood Hand Chop is quite a tyrannical Blood Technique. It requires the blood of a thousand female Martial Monarchs in order to practice it.

“After it reaches Great Perfection, the palm will turn as red as blood. Not only can it split mountains and crack the earth, but its might is also unparalleled. Furthermore, it contains blood poison, baleful aura, and resentment. It is an extremely insidious Martial Technique. Even Inferior Grade Martial Sages will not find this strike easy to receive.”

When Xuan Yu heard this, the excitement in his eyes could not help but intensify. The thirty-odd people he found all had exceptional skills. They had all committed great offenses in the Tianwu Domain or the Fiend Domain, so they ran to Hunluo Province.

Every one of them was a ruthless character who surpassed other people of the same cultivation. With thirty of such people working together, Xiao Chen would not stand a chance of survival.

Even if Xiao Chen has extraordinary skills and great luck, there was still the Xuan Clan Senior Elder rushing over. Xiao Chen would not be able to escape death.

Xuan Yu’s expression was cold, and his gaze turned sinister as he said, “Don’t blame me for being ruthless. Blame the fact that you like someone that you should not. There are some people whom an insignificant character like you cannot offend.”

“Bang!”

However, right after Xuan Yu said that, he heard a heart-wrenching shriek ring out. Xiao Chen stood in front of the grave palace without moving a step at all. When he saw that blood hand rushing at him, he merely punched it.

A hundred purple Heavenly Sage Laws gave off a magnificent light, and a vast and pure lightning-attributed Quintessence surged into Xiao Chen’s right hand like a gushing river.

As his fist shot out, it gave off a dazzling purple electric light. On contact with the fist, the blood-red right hand of the loose cultivators’ leader shattered, leaving only crushed bones.

Xiao Chen wrecked this blood hand, which this person was so proud of and had killed so many sect half-Sages with, with absolute strength.

The force of his punch traveled up that loose cultivator’s right arm, blasting all the bones in that arm to pieces.

Soon, that loose cultivator’s right arm became thoroughly crippled, leaving him a one-armed half-Sage.

“You merely used an unorthodox method. In the end, it is just a minor trick.”

Xiao Chen had no patience for this person’s anguished screams. He clenched his fist tightly, and the hundred Heavenly Sage Laws poured in Quintessence as he sent another punch at this person.

“No!”

That person felt death looming over him. He activated his Heavenly Sage Laws and infused all his remaining Quintessence into his left hand in a desperate move to block Xiao Chen’s attack.

However, before Xiao Chen, the ten-odd fine Heavenly Sage Laws were as frail as a baby. His hundred finger-thick purple Heavenly Sage Laws moved slightly and easily shattered the loose cultivator’s Heavenly Sage Laws.

“Ka ca! Ka ca!”

Xiao Chen’s punch broke the loose cultivator’s protective Quintessence shield and reduced him to an explosion of red light.

There was a saying: the evil we bring on ourselves are the hardest to bear. Loose cultivators committed great evil. Xiao Chen’s killing him like that and not leaving him with a corpse could be considered his retribution.

Such a scene happened in an instant. Earlier, that loose cultivator flaunted his might. However, two breaths later, Xiao Chen blasted him into a clump of red light without a corpse to speak of.

The loose cultivators flying over all revealed expressions of horror. They could not help but pause for a moment.

Xuan Yu’s eyes also filled with shock. He exclaimed in extreme disbelief, “What is going on? Two months ago, he was just a Superior Grade Martial Monarch. Now, he suddenly advanced to half-Sage? Furthermore, he even comprehended so many Heavenly Sage Laws?!”

When the group of people in midair revealed openings, a cold light flashed in Xiao Chen’s eyes. He shot forward like an arrow, charging over quickly.

Suddenly, sagely music resounded. As the sagely music spread through the air, it sang of the distant legend.

As Xiao Chen’s strength increased, his comprehension of this Myriad Heaven Divine Fist deepened.

The purpose of the distant legend was to create significant changes in history. With the march of time, this legend would turn into a poetic saga; then this poetic saga would pass into myth.

Who was the legend? Who was the poetic saga? Who was the myth? It was not those heavenly deities on the other side but himself—Xiao Chen!

His mental state shifted, and his newfound comprehension enhanced this move. The distant legend and the vast sagely music sang of his own glory.

The sagely music sang of all of Xiao Chen’s deeds in the past. It turned all the glories gained in the Sky Dome Realm into a vast golden painting flickering everywhere, creating a vast momentum.

He punched, and the sagely music swelled in tandem. A boundless light poured out as Mental Energy, Quintessence, and Vital Qi merged, forming an unparalleled holy power.

“Boom!”

The light struck the half-Sages in the air, whose openings Xiao Chen had grasped. All of them screamed in misery and vomited blood, falling to the yellow sand.

The sagely music did not stop. The glow coming from Xiao Chen grew increasingly brighter. Billions of deities from the other side of the starry sky focused their gazes on him.

This attention was different from before. This time, aside from boundless energy, these deities’ gazes also contained wisdom.

It was as if these deities acknowledged Xiao Chen’s comprehension of Distant Legend, resulting in them viewing him in another light and responding with their wisdom.

The focus of the deities landed on Xiao Chen, and the light on his fist gained extremely dazzling strength. It looked like it could even compete with the blazing sun of the Kunlun Realm.

“Radiance of Deities!”

A vast beam of solid light shot out together with Xiao Chen’s punch, flashing towards the loose cultivators falling out of the sky. Everywhere it passed, it destroyed dust and air and cleansed everything evil.

The faces of the loose cultivators all filled with horror. They quickly connected their Heavenly Sage Laws and formed an undulating scarlet river.

Aggrieved spirits howled miserably in this vast river. Bones piled up and vengeful spirits floated around. This dark blood river was comparable to the river of hell.

The dark blood river contained the great sins of the world and dread evil creatures. It was one of the most horrifying mysterious phenomena.

However, these people’s Heavenly Sage Laws were very fine. Even when merged, they were not as strong as Xiao Chen’s.

These people were not the strongest loose cultivators nor had they comprehended the meaning of the dark blood river. Just being able to manifest this mysterious phenomenon would not change their fate.

“Boom!”

The light was not extinguished; the holy light was eternal. The beam of light bearing a vast aura also contained some wisdom. It instantly shattered that dark blood river.

All the sins in the dark river were silently purified; there was not even the sound of miserable shrieks. Amid the yellow sand, a bottomless hole appeared, and the group of loose cultivators had vanished.

Xiao Chen casually waved his hand, and all the spatial rings in the deep pit flew over to him. Then, he looked coldly at the distant flabbergasted Xuan Yu.

“Xuan Yu, run. Quick! This person is a demonic genius like Yan Shisan. Now that he advanced to half-Sage, no one can stop him,” a middle-aged man roared in horror as he turned and ran, dashing away frantically.

The spring wind blew endlessly, and the wild grass was boundless. When clearing the grass, one had to get rid of the roots!

Naturally, Xiao Chen would not let off the two people fleeing. Letting this kind of vicious people hang around Xiao Bai was a disaster waiting to happen.

Whether for himself or Xiao Bai, Xuan Yu and his second uncle had to die.

Xiao Chen moved quickly, summoning out three Azure Dragon images and sending strong winds blowing in all directions. The churning yellow sand piled up in dunes behind him. His aura surged, and the wind and clouds changed color.

In two or three breaths, Xiao Chen caught up with the frantically fleeing Xuan Yu and the middle-aged man.

“Xuan Yu, go! Fast! I’ll block him for you.”

When the middle-aged man saw Xiao Chen land, he promptly charged over to buy time for Xuan Yu to escape.

The middle-aged man’s Quintessence surged with nothing held back. He executed all sorts of powerful Martial Techniques in rapid fire, launching them at Xiao Chen, one after another.

Yellow sand flew everywhere. Under the blazing sun, Xiao Chen’s expression did not change. He reacted to all the moves he saw, blocking them as they came. He even countered occasionally.

The Quintessence condensed by Xiao Chen’s hundred Heavenly Sage Laws surged out together with his attacks. To the middle-aged man, they were like heavy mountains smashing into his chest.

After ten moves, that middle-aged man vomited blood and went flying. His face turned so pale that it looked bloodless—a complete suppression caused by absolute strength.

This absolute genius had burst forth with all his accumulations. The moment he advanced to half-Sage, all the sufferings he went through turned into a bright brilliance to be proud of, blossoming like a flower.
