Situ Bei immediately narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Yue. He thought, “Who is this woman? If she can sit side by side with Elders of the Immortals’ League, I’m afraid that she must have some powerful backing.”
Perhaps Situ Bei had spent too much time living in remote mountains. He even did not recognize the Su family’s Fourth Miss. He asked lightly, “I’m sorry that I did not recognize you. May I know your surname?”
“My surname is Su,” Su Yue answered in an ice-cold voice and did not even bother to look straight at him.
The crowd below was stunned all of a sudden. “What can a Sixth-order Elixir Saint do? Once he raises his hand and issues a rousing call, a large number of soldiers will immediately respond to his call. Even those sect leaders of major sects have to show their respect to him and greet him with a broad smile. She is indeed the Fourth Miss of the Su family. Perhaps, she is the only one here who dares to treat him with indifference.”
Xiao Chen certainly had also witnessed that scene. He could not help passing a wisp of Divine Sense to the Frigid Jade Pendant he wore on the chest. “Hey, Su Xiaomei, it seems that everyone in your family is so fu*king awesome, right?”
“Your family? Why did you say ‘your family’? Your mother is a Su, so doesn’t half of your blood come from the Su family?”
Xiao Chen could not help laughing. “Except for her, I’m afraid that no one else in the Su family will acknowledge a person surnamed Xiao as one of them. Of course, it does not matter. I only need my mother’s acknowledgment.”
Seeing that he alone smiled foolishly, Zhiluan asked, “Kid, what is wrong with you this time? Why are you laughing by yourself?”
“Oh, nothing.”
However, standing on the high platform, Situ Bei caught his smile and felt even more annoyed.
Zuoqiu Yang swung his sleeve. “Can you still smile later? I’d like to wait and see.” After giving a hint with the eyes to Situ Bei and Perfected Immortal Feng Lan, he tapped his tiptoes and flew onto the Floating Platform.
Immediately, a burst of synchronized cheers for him sounded from the crowd below. The thunderous sound even made the nearby grass and trees tremble. Of course, Zuoqiu Yang arranged and paid for the scene in advance.
Upon seeing such a big scene, Murong Xian’er also began to cheer for Xiao Chen. But how could her voice be heard over the voices of thousands of people? She stamped her foot angrily. “Do all of you think you are awesome to make such a loud sound?” After that, she cast her eyes at Zhiluan. “Greedy cat! Shout out loud! Don’t be lazy!”
While shaking his head and smiling, Xiao Chen patted her shoulder. Then, he jumped into the air and flew to the Floating Platform. Before that, many people also had planned to cheer for him. However, they gave up the idea when they saw that Situ Bei had a close relationship with the Zuoqiu family. After all, no one dared to offend a Sixth-order Elixir Saint.
Xiao Chen landed on the platform. Zuoqiu Yang gave him a cold smile and said with a gloomy voice, “Xiao Chen, I have been waiting for this day for a long time!”
“Are you waiting to send me some more magic treasures and weapons?” raising his eyebrows, Xiao Chen answered him in a loud voice and smiled.
“You!” In an instant, Zuoqiu Yang’s face flushed bright red, but then he calmed down. He sneered, “Last time in the Forest of Illusory Moon, Huangfu Xin’er undermined me in time. If she hadn’t, do you think that you’d still be alive?”
It seemed that he could only regain some lost honor by mentioning this thing. Last time in Forest of Illusory Moon, it was true that he nearly defeated Xiao Chen. Especially when Zuoqiu Yang was in a frenzy, Xiao Chen could no longer be a match for him. If Huangfu Xin’er had not come out to help Xiao Chen at the last moment, Xiao Chen would have already crushed his jade note and teleported himself out of the forest.
“I am not here to talk nonsense with you. Go ahead to fight. I still have something to do after fighting,” Xiao Chen said.
“Fine! But in a year, remember this day is your death anniversary! Today, my granduncle is here, so no one will dare to say no, even if I kill you!”
After that, Zuo Qiuyang channeled the True Energy in his body. The blue veins on his face instantly stood out under his skin. Faint red light emerged around his body. With his deep but loud shout, the whole Floating Platform shook a little, and some crashing clods were shaken off from the edge of the platform.
Several Elders of the Immortals’ League had already strengthened this Floating Platform before. However, pushed by his True Energy, it still swayed a few times. The crowd below looked at each other with astonishment. “Has he reached the Nascent Soul Realm?”
Only some seniors who had high cultivation saw clearly that Zuoqiu Yang only used the Blood Spell, a Mystic Skill of his family. Zuoqiu Yang seemed to have reached the Nascent Soul Realm, but actually, he was still one step away.
On the high platform, Perfected Immortal Feng Lan slightly sighed in his heart. As Zuoqiu Yang’s master, he certainly knew the knot in his mind. “Zuoqiu Yang has been slow to enter the real Nascent Soul Realm because he got an Inner Demon after Xiao Chen defeated him. It makes Zuoqiu Yang increasingly crazier each day. In the long run, he will fall into the Devil’s Practice someday. Only when he beats Xiao Chen today can he undo this knot. After that, he can reach the Nascent Soul Realm with ease. Then, everything will be okay.”
But seeing the Floating Platform shaking more and more violently, those people who bet their money on Xiao Chen secretly felt worried. “Xiao Chen should rush up to Zuoqiu Yang now and stop him from channeling the energy. After he finishes directing his energy, it will be too late for Xiao Chen to do anything.”
Everyone on the side of the Jade Qing Sect also looked at them with knitted brows. Especially Murong Xian’er, she was the most anxious. Only Zhiluan looked the most relaxed and carefree. It said to Murong Xian’er, “Do not worry, little girl. I did not tell you that this kid has reached… Ahem, I cannot say it now.”
Standing on the Floating Platform with his hands behind his back, Xiao Chen still looked calm and peaceful. “Sizzle!” A sudden sound came. It turned out that the clothes on Zuoqiu Yang could not withstand the power and were torn to pieces. His bronze-colored muscles were twice as big as those of an ordinary person, which made him look like an angry lion. What an eye-catching spectacle! His image now was a sharp contrast to Xiao Chen’s gentle appearance.
“Hey!”
Zuoqiu Yang thundered. Then, the whole Floating Platform sank as if it would collapse at any moment. All the people on the scene saw that a layer of flame instantly covered his entire body. Like a meteor with blazing flames, Zuoqiu Yang threw himself at Xiao Chen.
This exceedingly brutal force came right at Xiao Chen. The crowd below gasped in shock. Everyone knew that even Nascent Soul Realm experts might not be able to stand such a force. However, when the fist was only one meter away, Xiao Chen suddenly disappeared. The next moment, he popped up behind Zuo Qiuyang.
“What! Isn’t that skill the Thousand Feathers Sect’s Coalesced Colors Equal to Dust?” The crowd in the public square was greatly surprised. The few Elders of the Immortals’ League also frowned.
As Zuo Qiuyang’s blow failed, he immediately felt that something terrible would happen. Thus, Zuo Qiuyang flew 33 meters forward to get out of Xiao Chen’s attacking range quickly. He thought, “This b*stard only has the cultivation of the expectant Nascent Soul Realm. Enveloped by my power, how could he act so fast?”
But Xiao Chen stood still. Neither did he rush forward to attack nor did he wield the Immortal’s Sword. His indifferent expression irritated Zuo Qiuyang, who then triggered the Blood Spell once again. All of a sudden, more dazzling flames rose up from all parts of his body, and then he came at Xiao Chen again.
This attack came more violently. The people below could not experience the power by themselves, but they could imagine it judging by those broken stones falling from the Floating Platform’s edge. If any ordinary Core Forming Realm cultivator went onto the platform now, the strong wind would blow that person apart. There would not be anything left of him; the wind would destroy both his body and soul. No matter how fast Xiao Chen could be this time, he could never get away from this absolute, powerful force.
Murong Xian’er below became desperate with anxiety. In the distance, the people from the Ling Family and Wan Gufeng from the Order of the Divine Fire, all of them were anxious to see Zuoqiu Yang kill Xiao Chen. In that case, they would not need to do it themselves.
The unstoppable punch was getting closer and closer to Xiao Chen, and everyone thought that he would die. But at this point, a weird thing happened. They saw Xiao Chen slowly raising his hand, and then Zuo Qiuyang’s speed gradually became slower. Finally, Zuoqiu Yang stopped. His fist stopped 10 cm away from Xiao Chen’s forehead and could not go any farther.
Astonished, those people in the square exclaimed, “What happened? Was it the Su family’s Restriction technique?” Now, everyone’s eyes landed on Su Yue, who was on the high platform.
Su Yue frowned slightly and thought, “Impossible. It is absolutely impossible that this kid knows my family’s Restriction technique. Could he…”
On the other side, Murong Xian’er cheered, “Come on, Brother Xiao Chen! Hurry and beat up that bad guy!”
Yu Yifeng’s eyebrows furrowed tightly from the beginning. Now he finally stopped frowning. Thinking of something, Li Muxue smiled and said, “Right. It is the Absolute Domain. Brother Xiao Chen has entered the Nascent Soul Realm.”
“The Foundation Building Realm’s mark is Psychokinesis; the Core Forming Realm’s mark is Condensing Sword with Qi. Then, the mark of the Nascent Soul Realm is the Absolute Domain! The person who has grasped the so-called Absolute Domain technique can make a certain area completely become his domain. He is the master of this area. But not every cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm can grasp this miracle technique unless he has mighty Soul power.”
Upon hearing Li Muxue’s words, the few sect disciples on the side all showed incredible looks on their faces. Also, many Elders from these sects sitting in the spectators’ seats frowned one after another. In fact, they had thought of the Absolute Domain, but they just could not believe it. Xiao Chen had reached the Nascent Soul Realm before 20 and had grasped the Absolute Domain technique, which was too astounding. At this moment, most of the people around thought that Xiao Chen must have wielded the Restriction technique that the Su families knew best.
Above the Floating Platform, Zuo Qiuyang’s face was colored with disbelief. “You! Have you reached the Nascent Soul Realm?”
“You don’t have to know too much because it is over.”
