novelOverwhelming Baleful Aura
| ← Ch.0655 | Ch.0657 → |
When Xiao Chen reached the one-eyed man's saber light, he had already left behind six afterimages. In that instant, the afterimages merged together and sent out a dazzling saber light from the Lunar Shadow Saber, magnifying Xiao Chen's aura immensely.
When the two sabers clashed, Xiao Chen did not fly back pathetically as the one-eyed man expected. Instead, the one-eyed man was the one sent flying in a sorry state.
A hole immediately appeared in the tight encirclement. Xiao Chen did not get too cocky. For this one-eyed man to survive for so long, he had to have some ability.
Xiao Chen gently moved his body and slipped out of the encirclement, landing back on the roof he stood on previously.
When the Feng Clan's Clan Head in the bright residence below saw this scene, he was flabbergasted. An inner sect disciple could actually move in and out as he pleased before the Seven Black Wind Killers.
Not only did Xiao Chen remain unharmed, but he also managed to kill one of the Seven Black Wind Killers. Such strength was unimaginable.
The Feng Clan's Clan Head muttered, "Odd, I know the top inner sect disciples of the five big sects, but I've never heard of a white-robed bladesman before. When did this person appear?"
"Clan Head, we might be saved this time, " someone at the side said joyfully.
The Feng Clan's Clan Head shook his head and said, "It is hard to say. The Seven Black Wind Killers are not that easy to deal with. Most likely, the first person died of carelessness.
"This white-robed bladesman is still outnumbered. If he had a few more companions, then it would be good. When the situation turns bad, we will go and help immediately."
The one-eyed man calmed the surging Quintessence in him. His expression turned cold as he revealed a sinister smile. Then, he led the other five to attack again.
"Kill!"
Six berserk killing Qi merged, seemingly forming a restless sea of blood. As the waves splashed up, vengeful spirits burst out of the water and shrieked loudly.
Xiao Chen felt a slight dizziness. He raised an eyebrow and thought to himself, I wonder, how many people has this group of people killed in order to form such an overwhelming baleful aura?
A regular cultivator would not have sufficient Mental Energy. They might even fall apart before this overwhelming baleful aura. No wonder people said that loose cultivators were hard to deal with.
The vast Mental Energy in Xiao Chen's sea of consciousness started moving, repelling that uncomfortable feeling.
Xiao Chen held his saber with one hand, maintaining a calm mind. He had a collected expression as he dealt with the six people rushing at him.
Saber lights and sword images flashed in the pitch-dark night. The surrounding buildings collapsed in the wake of the group's intense battle.
Aside from the one-eyed man, the Seven Black Wind Killers all found Xiao Chen's pure Quintessence in his saber light hard to deal with.
Every time the Seven Black Wind Killers exchanged a move with Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen's saber light would break the Quintessence on their own weapons and turn into a hidden force, flowing into their body via the weapon.
The longer the fight continued, the intenser this feeling became. Two of the Seven Black Wind Killers with weaker physical bodies could not endure it, leaking blood from the corner of their lips.
On the other hand, even though the six people attacked Xiao Chen continuously, Xiao Chen fought steadily. His strong and pure Quintessence neutralized most of the force coming at him.
Then, Xiao Chen used his horrifyingly strong physical body to endure the remaining force, not feeling any pressure from it. Only the attacks of the one-eyed man gave him some trouble.
"Big Brother, this fellow is hard to handle. Did we fall for a trap? This fellow could be a peak existence in the inner sect."
The Seven Black Wind Killers had not lived as long as they had due to their unrivaled strength. Instead, it was because they judged situations well and acted appropriately.
When the Seven Black Wind Killers ran into true inheritors, sect elders, or famous young experts, they would choose to go and hide somewhere faraway.
At this moment, one of the Seven Black Wind Killers found it hard to endure and thought of retreating. So he projected his voice to the one-eyed man to share his thoughts.
The one-eyed man replied coldly, "If you dare run, I will kill you myself. I recognize the five big experts in the Supreme Sky Sect's inner sect. This fellow is just pushing himself. We should kill him. The Spirit Gathering Pearls he has will help us advance to Medial Grade Martial Monarch."
Left with no choice, the others clenched their teeth and waited for Xiao Chen to burn out.
The calm Xiao Chen continued to block the incoming attacks in an unhurried manner. As he watched the few people injured by the hidden force and leaking blood out of their mouths, he quietly calculated a good time to make his move.
Xiao Chen had swift and decisive reactions; it was just that he did not make a move. When he truly made his move, he would instantly turn the situation around.
"Pu chi!"
After another hundred moves, three of the Seven Black Wind Killers vomited blood at the same time. They had accumulated a lot of hidden injuries, which erupted out with considerable force.
Xiao Chen's eyes were as bright as lanterns. As he watched the three, a strange light flashed in his eyes. He smiled coldly to himself, but he did not rush in to make a move.
"Big Brother, this brat did not fall for it. What should we do?"
"It looks like he is not one of those naive younglings. He is experienced and knows what's going on."
The three cried bitterly in their hearts. They all projected their voices to the one-eyed man, complaining to him.
The one-eyed man's left eye had already turned completely red, looking dreadful. His missing right eye was even more horrifying; the wound around the eye gaped.
The scar was ripped open, and scarlet blood flowed out continuously. The one-eyed man's originally ugly mug now looked like that of a malicious spirit from hell.
"I still don't believe we can't handle him. Burn your Quintessence. Let's get rid of him in one breath!" The one-eyed man projected his voice to the other five.
The hearts of the others could not help but thump loudly. Burning their Quintessence meant cutting off their means of retreat. If they still failed to defeat Xiao Chen, their Quintessence would be exhausted; they would not even have the opportunity to run.
"Xiu!"
Just as the remaining Seven Black Wind Killers hesitated, Xiao Chen, who had been defending passively all this time suddenly made his move.
He did not hold back his sixty-percent-comprehended saber intent, unleashing it all. Under the influence of the saber intent, the long, slender saber gave off a beautiful glow like that of a blossoming flower in the dark night.
Xiao Chen's saber trembled and gave off a melodious hum, crying out happily.
All the bladesmen in Dingshui City—no matter whether they were deep asleep or cultivating—suddenly awoke and leaped out of their houses, looking into the distance.
"Kill!"
Xiao Chen's eyes turned scarlet. Since he was going to make a move, he had to be swift and decisive. He instantly unleashed his peak state of massacre.
The Seven Black Wind Killers, who were frequently bathed in blood, unexpectedly felt some fear when they saw Xiao Chen looking as sharp as a saber.
Electricity leaped around as thunder roared in the dark night. Xiao Chen, who had suddenly made his move, knocked back the one-eyed man with one blow.
After that, Xiao Chen ignored the one-eyed man to strike at the most heavily injured person.
As Xiao Chen's saber light danced around in the pitch-dark night, he sent out seven saber images. Then, each saber image split into three saber images, moving out in a relentless attack.
Every saber image had purple electricity leaping around it. As the saber images danced, that person seemed to see a vast sea of lightning surging towards him.
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
At the crucial moment, that person reacted very well. He swung his sword twenty-one times and blocked all the illusory saber images. However, the purity of his Quintessence was no match for Xiao Chen's.
Every time that person blocked a strike, he vomited a large mouthful of blood. After twenty-one attacks, his complexion was ashen.
However, that was not all there was to Xiao Chen's Sea of Lightning Saber Light Chop. The sea of lightning that person saw was truly there—it exploded and blasted him to death.
The remaining five people exchanged looks. They had not expected Xiao Chen's timing to be so astute, grabbing the opportunity very accurately.
Earlier, Xiao Chen had not fallen for the openings that they revealed on purpose. He only made a move when they hesitated to attack. How was he a sect disciple that emerged from the sect just recently? His combat experience was richer than theirs.
"Get out here!"
Seeing Xiao Chen kill another of his fellows, the one-eyed man became flustered and exasperated. He held his saber with two hands and unleashed a light made of pure Quintessence, attacking the vast sea of lightning.
The one-eyed man's saber moved very fast, but Xiao Chen, who was hidden in the sea of lightning, was even faster. When the one-eyed man's sharp saber light struck the sea of lightning, a much sharper and even more resplendent saber light flew out.
That saber light flashed by like a meteor passing in the dark night. Four scarlet lights shot out, and deep cuts appeared on the necks of the four other members of the Seven Black Wind Killers, immediately killing them.
The saber that emerged from the sea of lightning was so resplendent that even a bright meteor would seem dim in contrast.
Those four people did not even know how they died, let alone where the saber came from. Unexpectedly, even the surviving one-eyed man did not know.
The one-eyed man only saw the sea of lightning open up and a white figure flash by, killing four of his group instantly.
The one-eyed man chased after Xiao Chen's figure with his eye. Looking around, he discovered a white figure two hundred meters in front of him with the back facing him.
Blood dripped from the white figure's saber blade. The saber intent of the afterimages behind him had yet to fade, buzzing loudly.
Fear swamped the mind of the one-eyed man. He did not bother thinking anymore. He sheathed his saber and turned around, fleeing desperately. He just wanted to get as far as he could from that white figure.
As a loose cultivator, the one-eyed man was not afraid of death. However, he did not want to end up like the other four, dying without knowing why and how. He had not even seen how Xiao Chen attacked.
Xiao Chen turned around unhurriedly and looked at the fleeing one-eyed man. The corners of his lips curled into a smile. With the night sky as a backdrop, his delicate face revealed an extremely grim smile.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
Three dragon roars came from Xiao Chen's chest, and three Azure Dragon images appeared below his feet. The Azure Dragon images raised him into the air. Moving up and down, they caught up with the one-eyed man in three breaths.
"As I said before, I want to borrow your head."
With a swing of his saber, Xiao Chen knocked the one-eyed man, who had turned around to defend himself, to the ground. The tall building behind him collapsed on impact.
"Four Season Saber Technique, Fated Person in Autumn Waters!"
Xiao Chen did not give the one-eyed man any chance to escape. He sent out a gentle saber light, one like a beautiful girl smiling faintly, endlessly complaining about a sadness beyond words, softly and gently.
The one-eyed man, who had just gotten to his feet, only felt an autumn wind blow as if a young girl had gently caressed his chest. Then, a bloody bowl-sized hole appeared at a vital spot there.
The one-eyed man looked at the wound on his chest. Then, he looked up and pointed at Xiao Chen in extreme dissatisfaction.
"You...you are definitely not an inner sect disciple of the Supreme Sky Sect..."
The Seven Black Wind Killers, who caused trouble everywhere, passing their days free and unfettered, all died.
The entire Feng Clan was silent. As the clan members looked at the white-robed bladesman slowly drifting to the ground, indescribable astonishment appeared in their eyes.
"Who is this person? Unexpectedly, he managed to kill the Seven Black Wind Killers by himself."
"The Seven Black Wind Killers troubled the eighteen provinces in the south, moving as swiftly as the wind. They looted, killed, plundered, burned, and snatched, committing all sorts of atrocities for a long time. Unexpectedly, they all died at the hands of this youth."
