Chapter 1753 (Raw 1765): Full Control of the Situation
Senior Ma felt utterly frustrated. He could not help making a ferocious expression, trying to threaten Xiao Chen.
“Interesting, you sneakily hid here, waiting for us to end up half-dead from the fight with this black-armored cultivator, then just picked up the benefits. Do you think that you, an insignificant Major Primal Core Venerate, can take advantage of us?”
Senior Liu chimed in from the side, looking at Xiao Chen with contempt on his face.
“Young man, you should not try to be clever in this. Any one of us here can smash you to death with one palm strike. Wise up and hand that thing over.”
Huangpu Qi and the others maintained a calm expression, looking at Xiao Chen coldly.
These people did not think much of Xiao Chen at all. He was just a Major Primal Core Venerate, yet he wanted to take advantage of them. They thought that he should look carefully at his own strength first.
Leng Feng frowned and said, “Brother Xiao, this is not the time to be reckless. If you don’t hand it over now, when Young Master Huangpu Qi gets angry, Senior Ma and I won’t be able to protect you.”
Xiao Chen looked at these people and revealed a trace of a smile. “Who should I hand it to?”
“What nonsense! Of course, to me!” Senior Ma said directly without even thinking.
Right after Senior Ma said that, he felt that something was wrong. A few hostile gazes stabbed him.
Especially Huangpu Qi’s. An indistinct killing Qi flashed in his eyes, chilling Senior Ma.
Senior Ma quickly changed his words, saying, “Hand it to us to keep. In any case, it cannot remain in your hands.”
“Who are you all? What I’m asking is, who do I hand this to?!”
Xiao Chen looked at Senior Ma without the playful look on his face diminishing.
Huangpu Qi coughed, calling attention to his presence. Then, a few of his junior brothers immediately chimed up.
“Of course, you hand it to our senior brother. Our senior brother is a true inheritor of the Snow Sword Palace. He is the strongest and contributed the most. Who else is more suitable than him?”
“Whoever opposes our senior brother is setting himself against the Snow Sword Palace!”
Now that the common enemy was dead, internal conflict arose.
Human nature paraded itself at this moment.
On hearing the words of the Snow Sword Palace disciples, Leng Feng and the others clearly felt uncomfortable.
“You speak as though we did not contribute at all,” Xiahou Feng said calmly.
“Strongest? Haha!” the bamboo-hat bladesman laughed coldly, full of mockery.
As Xiao Chen watched indifferently, he smiled coldly in his heart. He knew that this group of people would not be united.
“Young Master Huangpu, I think that fellow is purposely toying with us, making us fight each other. How about we kill him first before discussing the mysterious item?” Senior Ma suddenly suggested as a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
The argument immediately stopped, and everyone turned to Xiao Chen once more. They suddenly realized that this fellow was indeed too calm about this matter.
With just a few words, Xiao Chen had shifted the conflict. He was truly extraordinary.
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, Senior Ma turned around, emitting killing Qi from his entire body.
He soared into the air and threw a palm strike with strong winds surging, directly launching a killing move at Xiao Chen.
The might of a Star Venerate pressed down heavily towards Xiao Chen. The palm strike was like a mountain descending on him.
The sudden attack, combined with the aura of a Star Venerate, looked boundlessly tyrannical.
Everyone expected Xiao Chen to get smashed into a paste in the next moment, dying without a corpse.
Xiao Chen smiled coldly. Then, his figure wavered, and in the next moment, he suddenly turned into a three-kilometer-tall giant.
Buddhist Sect Major Magic Skill, Dharmic World!
This greatly startled Huangpu Qi and the others. In their fluster, they retreated hastily.
This development stunned Senior Ma. To him, Xiao Chen suddenly vanished, replaced by a wall in front of him.
Senior Ma looked up. However, before he could figure out what was going on, Xiao Chen stomped on him.
“Rumble
!”
Nonstop rumbling rang out. The entire plaza shook and trembled. The terrifying aura from Xiao Chen’s body flabbergasted Huangpu Qi and the others. No matter what, they had never anticipated that he would have such a killing move.
When Xiao Chen recovered his normal form, Senior Ma already lay on the ground half-dead. All the bones in his body were broken, putting him in so much pain that he wished for death.
If not for Senior Ma being a Star Venerate, Xiao Chen’s stomp after he executed Dharmic World would have killed him.
“Old man, you are not stupid, but you are too presumptuous.”
Xiao Chen mercilessly kicked away Senior Ma’s body.
Just at this moment, something strange happened.
The severely-injured-but-not-dead Senior Ma did his best to turn around in the air. His entire body was covered in blood, and wounds riddled his body; he looked pathetic.
That repulsive old face looked even uglier now. He glared at Xiao Chen somewhat dementedly and shouted, “Die for this old man!”
“Boom!”
The will of soul that belonged to a Star Venerate shot out from Senior Ma’s forehead. The invisible will immediately merged with the world, bringing a supreme might down on Xiao Chen.
With the attack of the will of soul, the ground of the Dragon Race plaza shattered and flew up.
“Crack! Crack!” Senior Ma moved towards Xiao Chen, step by step, pressing down on him.
Xiao Chen’s face sank. He did not dare to be careless. The will of soul of a Star Venerate entered into the depths of the soul. It was the greatest reliance of a Star Venerate. Those who had not reached Star Venerate did not have any means to resist.
This had reduced Xiao Chen to a sorry state many times already. He had felt the might of the will of soul before.
However, this time, he did not believe that it would happen again.
Xiao Chen moved his right leg back and braced it against the ground. Then, he held the Tyrant Saber by the scabbard with one hand and ferociously stabbed it into the ground.
“Dang!”
The moment the scabbard entered the ground, two Dao disks appeared behind Xiao Chen: one was the Saber Great Dao and the other was the Tyrant Saber’s Thunder Dao.
“The Saber Great Dao!”
Surprised exclamations came from everyone watching. No one expected that Xiao Chen had already comprehended a complete Dao.
Furthermore, it was the Saber Great Dao that many bladesmen dreamed about.
Envy flashed in Huangpu Qi’s eyes. He had relied on his Dao Tool to comprehend his Ice Dao. Even now, he still had not comprehended the Sword Dao. Yet in this insignificant place, he actually met an unknown insignificant minor character who comprehended the even-harder-to-comprehend Saber Great Dao.
Huangpu Qi found this thought incredible. He was a Rank 5 sect true inheritor, but he had not even comprehended the Sword Dao yet.
The two Dao Might overlapped and became one, clashing with that horrifying will of soul.
The Dao Might clashed with the will of soul and was actually slightly weaker. That was the will of soul that no one under Star Venerate could block. Even so, Xiao Chen still managed to forcibly block it.
“Chi! Chi!”
As Xiao Chen’s body slid back, the saber scabbard scraped out a gash in the ground.
Xiao Chen clenched his teeth, and the two hundred six dragon bones in his body crackled like a dragon roar. The Azure Dragon’s Dragon Might supported the two Dao Might.
The berserk Dragon Might felt its body being humiliated, so it roared uncontrollably in anger.
“Bang!” The scary will of soul exploded and directly crumbled.
Senior Ma vomited another mouthful of blood as he got sent flying back. His eyes filled with disbelief.
“How can this be?! To think that someone under Star Venerate can block the will of soul. That is the will of a Star Venerate merging with the world, using the power of the world.”
Senior Ma landed on the ground, bereft of all his combat prowess. He felt confused and horrified.
“Clap! Clap! Clap!”
Suddenly, Huangpu Qi started clapping his hands. He smiled and said, “Not bad. You are able to defeat a Star Venerate as a Major Primal Core Venerate. It is really admirable. However, Xiao Chen, that is all that you amount to.”
Seeing that Xiao Chen appeared to have pushed himself, Huangpu Qi thought that Xiao Chen had already reached his limits.
If that was so, then Xiao Chen would not pose any real threat to Huangpu Qi at all.
Huangpu Qi changed the topic, saying seriously, “Hand over that dragon scale. Otherwise, you will die today for sure!”
Huangpu Qi had long since lost his patience, and his envy towards Xiao Chen already turned into murderous intent.
If Xiao Chen dared to say no, Huangpu Qi would immediately attack to kill Xiao Chen without hesitation.
Who knew, Xiao Chen did not even look at Huangpu Qi. His gaze wandered and landed on the formation in the center, where the Azure Dragon Totem and Faux God Flame were.
Xiao Chen, who held the black dragon scale, could clearly feel that the owner of that Faux God Flame was a senior of his Azure Dragon bloodline.
He could also feel that the remnant will in the flame was currently suffering the most intense pain in the world, tortured at every moment.
The source of all the sin was in the black dragon scale in Xiao Chen’s hand.
Xiao Chen wanted to save and free this Azure Dragon bloodline senior from the torment.
“You are seeking death!”
Upon seeing Xiao Chen paying no attention to him whatsoever, Huangpu Qi was incensed. He drew his sword, and snow started drifting as a cold Qi swept out.
“Scram.”
Anger flashed in Xiao Chen’s eyes. Without even looking, he waved one hand and instantly completed the Life Bestowal Spell.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
More than one thousand black Flame Demons appeared in that instant, like they were phantoms, blocking Huangpu Qi.
The flames that burned on the Flame Demons and the evil Qi that spread out told him that this was not an illusion.
The one thousand-odd black Flame Demons before him, which were as strong as Star Venerates, were all real.
Huangpu Qi paled in fright. Interrupting his killing move, he withdrew his sword and retreated.
