Chapter 205 Decisive Battle in Canglan City (Part 2)

The cultivators who had been convinced that Xiao Chen would lose stared at the blood-red demonic saber. Zuoqiu Yang also looked somber. He could sense the strange breath coming from the demonic saber. He said icily, "To use such a bloodthirsty object as a weapon, you're indeed a follower of the Devil's Practice!"

Xiao Chen gave him an emotionless glance. "Oh? If a person wielding a demonic saber is a devil, what does that make the Zuoqiu family who massacred all 13 members of someone's family?"

Zuoqiu Yang's heart sank. That happened many years ago, when his family plotted to eliminate someone who was about to become a Level 4 Elixir King. However, this was something that was kept top secret in the family. How did this kid find out?

"Who exactly are you?"

Xiao Chen replied indifferently, "It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that your family killed. Do you not understand even to this day that the debt of blood must be repaid in kind?"

"Hehe! You, a Core Forming Realm cultivator, wish to avenge that person? Naive!" Zuoqiu Yang bellowed. He lifted his sword and lunged at Xiao Chen. The dazzling sword radiance called forth the whistling of the gale.

"Oh, is that so?" Xiao Chen said placidly. Simultaneously, he gently slashed his finger with his saber. Blood flowed into the pattern on the blade and instantly, the entire blade began trembling and emanating red radiance. One could faintly hear a sinister whistling coming from it.

"Slash!" He spat out, and the blade instantly became two times larger. The red radiance that spanned over 30 meters rocked into the sky. The powerful Demonic God's power made the nearby cultivators feel out of breath.

The incomparably fierce saber radiance instantly became interwoven with Zuoqiu Yang's sword radiance. The two majestic forces nearly crushed everything around them into dust. The ground under their feet also began to crack in large pieces. Gale surged violently, sending granule and stones swirling in the air. It was so baffling that everyone could barely open their eyes.

It took a long while for the fierce momentum to gradually fade. Zuoqiu Yang wielded his sword horizontally to his chest and took several steps backward before regaining firm footing. On the contrary, Xiao Chen was standing still in his original location as if he was a mountain that couldn't be moved.

Zuoqiu Yang was overwhelmed with shock. He was a peak Core Forming Realm cultivator while this kid had just entered Core Forming Realm. How could Xiao Chen remain so composed in the face of his attack?

Xiao Chen wiped his blade clean and cast Zuoqiu Yang a sidelong glance. He said placidly, "What's wrong? Is this how strong you are? So that's all to it to the No. 9 on the Heaven List."

There was no onlooker outside the arena that wasn't shocked at how he brazenly looked down on a peak Core Forming Realm cultivator. Could he have truly become a quasi-Nascent Soul Realm cultivator? No wonder he dared to charge into Canglan City by himself today.

Zuoqiu Yang's expression was dark. His family had ordered him not to make any reckless movements, but he was too proud and arrogant to heed it. On the one hand, he wanted to avenge his younger cousin. On the other, he wanted to show off his strength and use this chance to lower the morale of the cultivators in the East Continent. He never expected to be evenly-matched with Xiao Chen.

He said solemnly, "Stop being so smug. You're just powerful because you have that demonic saber. Today I'll show you the true power of the Zuoqiu family's Mystic Skill!"

He threw his Immortal's Sword into the air and then immediately moved his fingers to cast spells nonstop. Layer upon layer of mystic arts swirled in the space above the sword. However, right at this moment, a strange scene took place. The Immortal's Sword started shaking incessantly and stopped listening to orders. It was even emanating a faint red glow.

"What?!" Zuoqiu Yang's expression transformed drastically. The Night Coalescence Immortal's Sword that his master gifted him was forged from a thousand-year meteoric iron. For thousand years or more, it was undefeated by demons and devils. Did Xiao Chen's demonic saber manage to hit it?

Xiao Chen smiled. "What's wrong? Is that your Zuoqiu family's Mystic Skill?" His figure blurred out of view. Like a ghost, he reappeared in front of Zuoqiu Yang and landed a heavy kick on his jaw.

Zuoqiu Yang failed to dodge in time. Xiao Chen's kick sent him flying with blood coming out of his nose and mouth. The moment he fell to the ground, Xiao Chen reappeared and pointed his saber at his neck at a lightning-fast speed.

"Where's your family's hiding place? Lead the way and I'll spare your life!"

Zuoqiu Yang was nearly frightened out of his wits. If Xiao Chen had exerted strength in his attack earlier, his head would have fallen off his body by now. Even if he could preserve his soul, he couldn't maintain his physical body.

Naturally, this was beyond the onlooker's expectations. No one thought this average-looking youngster would possess such extraordinary skills that allowed him to subdue the strongest young member of the Zuoqiu family. With such profound powers, who would believe that he didn't have an Ancient Immortal Clan backing him up? It seemed that the Zuoqiu family had truly gotten themselves into huge trouble this time.

Right then, a deep and resounding voice came from the distant horizon, splitting the ears of quite a few onlookers. "Yang'er, why did you act on your own?! Hurry up and return!"

Even though the voice resounded clearly, the speaker wasn't in the area. Rather, he was using the mystic arts Faraway-voice Transfer. That person must have allowed Zuoqiu Yang to go out to battle Xiao Chen, but now that Zuoqiu Yang had lost, he had no choice but to summon him back.

Zuoqiu Yang felt vexed. While Xiao Chen was focused on listening to the voice, he recited a spell and turned his body into a sword radiance. Then, he escaped in the northwest direction.

Xiao Chen immediately unleashed the Phoenix's Wings and chased after him. The onlooking cultivators also cried in alarm and started running toward the Zuoqiu Manor.

Moments later, Xiao Chen came upon a massive residence that seemed to extend continuously. The high places surrounding the residence were packed with cultivators. This must be the Zuoqiu Manor.

The onlookers started shouting when they spotted him flying using a pair of wings. "Look! Look! That's Xiao Chen! He's here!"

Xiao Chen ignored their cries. He put away his Phoenix's Wings and landed in the garden in front of the main gate of the Zuoqiu Manor. Tens of disciples had immediately rushed over when they heard the commotion, all of them wearing sinister gazes. One of them shouted, "Devil! Since you killed one of us, we want you to pay with your life today!"

"I must pay with my life after I killed someone? What about you people? Can you kill people as if you're slaughtering oxen and horses?" Xiao Chen asked emotionlessly.

Simultaneously, he waved his large hand. Instantly, gale began rising and slammed a cloud of granule and sand on the disciples. They couldn't resist it and ended up being flung into a wall. Copious amounts of blood sprayed from their mouth. Evidently, they wouldn't survive this.

Some disciples turned pale after seeing this. Some were caught between feeling startled and furious. They knew Xiao Chen killed one of them, but he had unfathomable powers and incomparable to the fools who had provoked them in the past. This time, the elders themselves would have to personally deal with Xiao Chen.

Right then, a bellow erupted from the depths of the garden. "Xiao Chen! How dare you come to my Zuoqiu's Manor and kill! Do you really take our Zuoqiu family for a fool?!"

"Since I dare to breach your manor, naturally I'm taking you for a fool!" Xiao Chen instantly formed four to five blades of Qi on the palm of his right hand and struck them at the group of Zuoqiu family's disciples nearest to him.

A silhouette came into view. It was a grey-haired, baby-faced old man in his sixties. Even though he was fast, he was ultimately a step too late. He could only watch as three of his disciples had their heads lopped off. Their blood sprayed all over the cluster of flowers on the corner of walls.

The onlookers standing on high places outside the manor couldn't help gasping in shock. This guy's murderous aura was too potent. His opponent had already warned him and yet he still dared to kill the disciples in front of his opponent.

Another two elders arrived at the garden. The cyan-robed old man earlier was so angry that veins were protruding on his forehead. Despite his warning, Xiao Chen still dared to kill his disciples in front of him. Evidently, the kid was showing him no respect.

"Very well, kid. How do you wish to die today?"

Xiao Chen took a step forward and said emotionlessly, "I haven't thought about it. But I didn't come here to waste words on you. Hurry up and hand him over, or I promise I'll shed enough blood to form a river today!"

"You!" The cyan-robed old man was enraged into speechlessness. With a flick of his wide sleeves, he attacked Xiao Chen with his palm. The incomparably ferocious palm force formed a massive golden handprint in the air. Sounds of eruptions reverberated nonstop as all plants in the garden were reduced into dust in an instant.

In the distance, a cultivator couldn't help crying, "Devil Extermination Seal!"

The formidable aura caused the vital energy in the world to start vibrating. Numerous buildings began shaking as if the earth was quaking. Even the faraway onlooking cultivators felt a chill down their back at that moment. They immediately activated their Self-protection Barrier lest they were injured.

Ever since Xiao Chen entered the Core Forming Realm, his Divine Sense had sharpened a hundred or even a thousandfold. The moment his opponent moved, he already knew what the former was trying to do. Right then, he used his Immortal-override Steps to dodge the range of the layers of palm force. Simultaneously, he gathered True Qi and struck the old man on the left rib with Cyan Dragon Roars.

The cyan-robed old man had never imagined that Xiao Chen would instantly appear on his left. He had not finished exerting his palm force in unleashing the Devil Extermination Seal, so he was unable to retrieve his force and resist Xiao Chen. With a loud explosion, the palm hit him hard on the rib. His bone cracked so badly that it nearly made a sound. He coughed up blood as he was sent flying.

"Oh God…" Shocked cries rang out again and again outside the manor. This time, the disparity in strength had been clearly demonstrated. This cyan-robed old man was shockingly not a match for Xiao Chen.
