Chapter 374: Red Silk and Flying Sword
Seeing Chen Chao stand up and face her, Fairy Red sized up the young man in front of her and then asked, "Are you the Chen Chao who defeated Song Changxi by the lakeside?"
Chen Chao asked straightforwardly, "What do you want?"
Fairy Red obviously did not expect this young man to be so straightforward. Many of the prepared words she had seemed to lose their effect at this moment. However, she was not too inclined to speak straightforwardly herself, so after some thought, she suddenly said, "I want to learn from you, to see if you are truly the champion of the Myriad Willow Convention's martial examination, if you're the real deal."

Actually, the influence of the Myriad Willow Convention had declined in recent years, and many geniuses from the foreign lands had chosen not to participate. Just like that Infatuation Daoist Temple's Yun Jianyue, if he had participated in the Divine Capital back then, regardless of how you look at it, the champion of the Myriad Willow Convention would not have been Chen Chao.
Of course, besides Yun Jianyue, there were also many young cultivators who, for various reasons, could not make it. When they heard that Chen Chao was actually the champion, they naturally refused to accept it and saw it as a great humiliation.
The Xia Family was already destroyed, and many cultivators from the Purple Cloud Grotto died that night. Therefore, it was inevitable for Daoist Redsky to make this trip. Even he knew that now they were in the Divine Capital. If figures like the Temple Master did not come forward personally, it would be absurd to think of killing the Great Liang Emperor. But if the cultivators from the foreign lands did nothing, it would be unacceptable as well. Therefore, this time, led by the Purple Cloud Grotto, several Nepenthe cultivators came along with two youngsters, aiming to make a complete mockery of the Great Liang Dynasty during this grand court session.
Earlier, Liu Banbi made a move to intercept that middle-aged daoist nun. Then, his move was blocked successively by the Great General and the Lord Warden Commander. To him, this was practically considered a 50% failure of this matter.
Now, the only hope lies in these two young people being able to regain their face.
Chen Chao naturally understood the other party's intention. He even wondered if the blow the Great Liang Emperor dealt him previously was because he predicted today's events, so he treated hidden injuries in advance.
If that were the case, Chen Chao would truly prostrate on all fours in admiration for his uncle. It seemed like there was nothing in this world this person could not foresee.The debut release of this chapter happened at N0v3l_B1n.
After a moment of silence, Chen Chao knew that this duel was unavoidable. However, after glancing at the Fairy Red, he looked at the sword cultivator next to her and asked, "If I defeat you, will this brother make a move? If he's going to make a move anyway, wouldn't it be better for me to fight him directly?"
Fairy Red was furious upon hearing this. Chen Chao's words were clearly looking down on her.
Song Lian stood in the distance, his face revealing a worried expression. Among the many court officials present, he was likely the one who was most concerned about this young man.
Chen Chao frowned slightly. His hand that was entangled suddenly exerted force, and his body instantly tensed up, causing the previously fluttering red silk to straighten abruptly at this moment.
Fairy Red's body swayed, unwilling to let go. Then, her entire person was actually pulled over by Chen Chao, plummeting rapid from the sky!
"Get lost!"
Chen Chao shouted coldly. The red lights came first, but most of them were directly shattered by Chen Chao's fist. As for the remaining red lights, although they collided with Chen Chao's body and cut through his outer court robe, they failed to leave any trace of injury on him.
Seeing that Fairy Red was almost reaching him, Chen Chao reached out with one hand and grabbed her ankle. At this moment, he had no intention of showing mercy to a woman. After grabbing her, he intended to slam her down forcefully!
But at this moment, a flash of sword light suddenly descended from the sky, with a sharp sword aura clearly aiming for a fatal blow against Chen Chao.
This presented Chen Chao with a multiple-choice question: either release Fairy Red or forcefully withstand this flying sword head-on.
Chen Chao raised his head slightly, and at that moment, he already made a decision.
After releasing Fairy Red, he swiftly wrapped the red silk around himself as the flying sword approached. The sharp blade of the sword directly cut through the red silk, but Chen Chao who was freed from the restraint did a somersault and dodged the flying sword.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fairy Red soared into the sky once again, and Chen Chao did not stop her. He just looked at that flying sword.
As well as that young sword cultivator behind the flying sword.
