Chapter 981: Be t
Situ Leihong laughed and said, "That's fine. I knew about it long ago and made arrangements."
"What arrangements?!"
"Wen Ziran has agreed to duel with you. The duel will take place seven days from now, and the bet is the ten-thousand-year-old Flame Crystal, " Situ Leihong replied unhurriedly.
Xiao Chen exclaimed in astonishment, "Duel? When did that happen? I don't seem to recall challenging him."
Smiling in a way that did not reflect his identity as a senior, Situ Leihong said, "I helped you arrange it. Why? You don't agree? If you don't agree, I can cancel it."
Xiao Chen was thunderstruck. He smiled embarrassedly and said, "Senior really put in a lot of effort."
"It's fine, it's fine. There is no need to thank me for this. Just help me to obtain the ten-thousand-year-old Flame Crystal." Situ Leihong waved the matter off, showing that he did not care.
To think that Xiao Chen worried about this for a long time. Situ Leihong already made arrangements for him on his own initiative long ago.
"I will bring the ten-thousand-year-old Flame Crystal to Senior seven days later. I will leave the Lunar Shadow Saber to Senior, then."
After saying that, Xiao Chen took out the Lunar Shadow Saber, the Soul Returning Grass, the Paramita Flower, and Three Life Stone.
Situ Leihong nodded and said with a wave, "Just wait for my good news. There is no need for you to worry about my side. Go on, then. I will not see you off."
Since the other party was telling him to leave already, naturally, Xiao Chen did not intend to remain.
Now, Xiao Chen thought about the results of the Longevity Fruit's auction, wondering how much wealth it had brought him and whether he had sufficient funds to buy Secret Treasures containing dragon souls.
For Wen Ziran to be able to make it into the top ten, he had to be strong enough to fight great grandmaster-level Martial Sages. Xiao Chen just did not know just how strong he was.
These were things that Xiao Chen needed to ask Ying Qiong. So he had to meet up with her right away.
The moment Xiao Chen stepped out of the mountain manor, before he could even think of anything, a resplendent sword light flashed towards him. It was like a meteor tearing through the sky and heading for him.
Xiao Chen squinted and immediately materialized the Flawless saber Dao. Using his body as a saber, his hand as the saber tip, he quickly moved, showing many changes with the saber that was his body.
Xiao Chen's hair, his clothes, his shoulders, his arms, they were all sabers.
A boundless saber hum resounded in the sky. As Xiao Chen's hair fluttered, he pointed and clashed with this sword light.
"Bang!"
Xiao Chen shot out purple energy from his fingertip. Startling thunder roared in the sky, and the hundred-meter-long sword light suddenly shattered.
With one finger, Xiao Chen broke the sword strike that the purple-clad old man, Ouyang Long, stored up energy for so long to unleash.
Xiao Chen's figure flashed, and he arrived in the air, facing Ouyang Long. Extremely infuriated, he said coldly, "Sire, your skin is extraordinarily thick. A bona fide great grandmaster-level Martial Sage like you actually mounted a sneak attack."
Ouyang Long already healed his right arm and was holding a hundred and thirty-three-centimeter-long sword glinting with a sharp cold light.
A boundless sword intent came from the sword's edge. Sword winds howled for five kilometers around, stirring up the clouds.
Ouyang Long said in a frosty voice, "Less nonsense from you. If you can't deal with me today, you can forget about leaving this Sword Forging Peak."
The swordsmen below all exchanged glances. They had not expected Ouyang Long to be so angry.
"This time, Xiao Chen is in some trouble. Earlier, Ouyang Long did not use his sword and was injured out of his carelessness. Now, he is truly angered."
"Youths should not show off too much. If he had just allowed Ouyang Long to strike him earlier, letting him gain back some pride, this matter might have passed just like that."
"Ouyang Long cultivated for four hundred years, becoming a great grandmaster-level Martial Sage of the sword Dao. If he uses all his strength to deal with a junior, there will not be any suspense about the result."
The swordsmen around all started discussing this and shaking their heads. They did not think much of Xiao Chen's chances. When a great grandmaster-level Martial Sage truly got angry, the amount of power that he could unleash would be horrifying.
Ouyang Feng below was very excited. His father would finally use his full power. Now, this matter would definitely be resolved.
Once Xiao Chen was injured, Ouyang Feng would personally go forward and trample on Xiao Chen's face, completely humiliating him. Otherwise, Ouyang Feng would not be able to get rid of the frustration in his heart.
"Don't blame this old man for using my strength to bully the weak. I will make just three moves. If you can receive three moves from me, I will write off the grudge, " Ouyang Long said expressionlessly.
Xiao Chen's expression became extremely dark. He found it very funny. Write off the grudge and speaking in such an overbearing manner? This old man spoke as if Xiao Chen was the one in the wrong.
Back then, on Sword Forging Peak, Ouyang Feng had kept mocking Xiao Chen, forcing him to make a move. Xiao Chen had already given way many times before he finally made a move. Even so, he did not take Ouyang Feng's life.
Now, a similar scene happened on this Sword Forging Peak again. Because of the other party's carelessness, Xiao Chen managed to injure him to the point where he could not even hold his sword.
If Xiao Chen had pushed it further, he could have defeated him, beaten him into a sorry state. However, he did not do that.
In the end, not only did Ouyang Long not appreciate that, but after he healed himself, he even immediately sneak-attacked Xiao Chen, showing no regard for his own status. Then, he actually pretended to be righteous, saying things like writing off the grudge with three moves.
Laughable, this is really extremely laughable.
A white figure stood in the air. As his long hair fluttered in the wind, it revealed that delicate face along with the Sea Monarch Headscarf. His distinct facial features hid a sharpness.
"Whoosh!"
Xiao Chen took off the blue headscarf on his forehead, and his aura suddenly changed. His delicate face immediately turned sharp, displaying the state of kingship and appearing incomparably tyrannical.
A smile appeared on Xiao Chen's lips. He said, "Great! Three moves to write off this grudge. Ouyang Long, you really think the world of yourself. What are you going to use to write off this grudge in three moves? Today, I will defeat you in three moves. Even if this grudge is not resolved, so be it."
Right after Xiao Chen spoke, he sent the will of thunder containing his Great Perfection saber soul surging out with boundless might.
His forehead flickered, and the purple Lightning Talisman hovered over his head. Instantly, thunderclouds churned in the sky for five kilometers around. Lightning flashed and thunder roared.
There was a boundless sharpness in the berserk thunderclouds as if they were an inextinguishable treasured saber bursting forth with a strong aura.
In an instant, Xiao Chen unleashed his aura without holding anything back, stirring up the clouds and pressing on Ouyang Long.
"Great Perfection saber soul!"
The people below all felt the swords in their hands tremble, trying to struggle out of their hands and lie prostrate on the ground. Their faces filled with extreme shock.
"It really is a Great Perfection saber soul. Just a Small Perfection saber soul is sufficient to face a Great Perfection sword soul. A Great Perfection saber soul would be able to completely suppress Ouyang Long's Small Perfection sword soul. Given this, Xiao Chen can make up for the difference in cultivation."
Flawless night, perfectly flawless moon!
Xiao Chen swiped his fingertip and suddenly released resplendent moonlight. The sky immediately turned dark. When he previously used his Flawless Bright Moon at full power, it blocked Di Wuque's Split Second Beginning Conscience Sword.
Now, Xiao Chen's strength had increased tremendously. More importantly, his saber soul reached Great Perfection. Even he himself did not know how strong this Flawless Bright Moon would be.
The moonlight that came from Xiao Chen's fingertip was bright and dazzling, its might overwhelming, forcing Ouyang Long to squint.
Ouyang Long's expression changed drastically. When he saw this full moon, he brandished his sword, and nine hundred Purple Night Sword Formations appeared. The formations linked up. As they spun, they formed a huge Purple Night Sword Formation.
With a loud 'boom, ' the bright moon at Xiao Chen's fingertip turned into a saber light and crashed into this huge sword formation.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The sword formation lasted for only a moment before shattering in the air, turning into falling strands of sword light that scattered in all directions. When they crashed into the mountain peaks fifty kilometers from here, they demolished the peaks.
Only the stands of sword light that fell on Sword Forging Peak seemed to be easily erased by a mysterious power.
Life of spring, summer sun, autumn wind, and winter snow. Flawless Four Seasons, Cycle of Seasons!
Xiao Chen's Flawless Bright Moon broke Ouyang Long's huge Purple Night Sword Formation. Then, Xiao Chen stood on a lightning dragon and moved in a flash, charging over to Ouyang Long, who had retreated one kilometer.
Red peach blossoms fill the sky. As the peach blossoms bloom, a fragrance permeates the air. There is no spring wind or saber.
A fiery-red blazing sun rises into the sky, burning everything in the world, bright like a saber—a sharp blazing sun.
The emotionless autumn wind sweeps through everywhere under the heavens, not letting anything exist.
The winter snow drifts, turning the place colorless for fifty kilometers around. When it appears, the saber light disappears.
"Cycle of Seasons, Endless Growth!"
For the first time, Xiao Chen executed the perfected Flawless Four Seasons in its entirety. The various mysterious phenomena of Flawless Four Seasons cycled endlessly.
Spring Saber, Summer Saber, Autumn Saber, and Winter Saber. All four sabers chopped down continuously in a cycle. Xiao Chen forced Ouyang Long back fifty kilometers in the sky.
As Xiao Chen pushed back Ouyang Long, the thunderclouds five kilometers around continued to spread. The endless thunderclouds rumbled with loud thunder.
"Flawless Azure Dragon, Subduing Dragon Profound Slash!"
Eighteen azure-colored saber lights ranged through the sky and land, all of them containing the profoundness of dragon subjugation. As they flashed, they struck Ouyang Long's body at the same time.
"Pu ci!" Ouyang Long vomited a mouthful of blood as this saber strike knocked him back to the ground, sending him back to Sword Forging Peak.
The entire place turned silent. Xiao Chen had said he would defeat Ouyang Long in three moves, and he did exactly that. Furthermore, he did it so quickly, not in the least bit sloppily at all.
When Ouyang Feng saw Ouyang Long crash to the ground, his eyes widened in shock. Even though his mouth was open, he was speechless.
The scene that Ouyang Feng expected did not happen. His father did not beat Xiao Chen into a helpless state. Instead, Xiao Chen defeated his father in three moves.
"Father! How are you?!" Ouyang Feng asked worriedly as he helped Ouyang Long, who was on the ground, to his feet.
"Whoosh!"
Strong winds blew everywhere. Xiao Chen landed calmly without any expression on his face. The many swordsmen that surrounded them to watch opened up a path for him right away.
"I'll kill you, you bastard!"
When Ouyang Feng saw Xiao Chen alight, his eyes immediately turned red. He charged recklessly at Xiao Chen, showing openings all over, moving with no skill at all.
Xiao Chen's figure flashed, easily dodging Ouyang Feng. As his clothes and hair fluttered, the clangor of weapons resounded.
When their shoulders brushed by each other, Xiao Chen grabbed the charging Ouyang Feng, pulled him back, and tossed him away.
The peak trembled as Ouyang Feng landed heavily on the ground. Then, he bounced and vomited a large mouthful of blood. His complexion instantly turned pale.
When Ouyang Feng thought of the strength that Xiao Chen displayed, he calmed down. Now, he was so frightened that his body started trembling.
"Xiao Chen, I admit defeat! I swear that from now on, I will not seek trouble for you!"
When Ouyang Long saw Xiao Chen approaching step by step, fear woke in his heart. He immediately put down his pride and started begging.
Xiao Chen did not say anything. He simply stopped walking. His expression was unfathomable.
Ouyang Long clenched his teeth as he removed the spatial ring on his finger. He said, "This is all the resources that I carry on hand. There are three million Black Astral Coins and all sorts of divine materials in the tens of tons each. I beg you, let us, father and son, go today. I promise never to seek trouble for you."
