| ← Ch.1611 | Ch.1613 → |
The Ice-Snow Mountain Manor's Han Feng, the Burning Moon Sect's Bai Xu, and the Temple Ghost Sect's Sect Master Xue, three early-stage Major Primal Core peak experts attacked at the same time.
Immediately, Idle Cloud Restaurant shook, shocking all the other cultivators.
No one expected the three to use such an overbearing and cruel method to deal with Xiao Chen.
If they succeeded, Xiao Chen's group of people, as well as Idle Cloud Restaurant, would be crushed under the attacks of the three experts, dying without a burial.
There would not even be remains left, an extremely pitiful death.
"Lunar Shadow Burning the Sky!" the Burning Moon Sect's Bai Xu roared. There was no bright moon in the sky, but the shadow of a moon encased Idle Cloud Restaurant, blazing noisily.
"Traceless Falling Snow!" The Ice-Snow Mountain Manor's Han Feng drew his sword, and a spot of cold light flickered on the tip of his sword. Boundless snow fell silently, every snowflake spinning around quickly.
The snow contained a horrifying sword intent and Veritable Essence Energy as it fell silently, bringing a frosty chill. This had a huge impact on the restaurant.
Sect Master Xue roared, and all the baleful aura of his body suddenly gathered and stored up energy.
As Han Feng and Bai Xu attacked, so did Sect Master Xue. A gigantic palm formed by scarlet light flew down heavily and pressed on Idle Cloud Restaurant.
The three experts executed their peak Martial Techniques—something rarely seen in this Purple Sun City.
Such a scene deeply shocked many people, making their hearts pound.
This was using absolute power to suppress others, using pure strength to crush another.
However, the expected outcome did not happen.
A cold frosty aura spread out from Idle Cloud Restaurant as the Jiao Snake spat out a mouthful of cold Qi, blocking the Martial Techniques of the three experts.
The intense clash happened invisibly. The Jiao Snake felt pressure, but it held on firmly, preventing the energy from the three killing moves from leaking into the building and injuring Xiao Chen's group.
The expressions of Han Feng, Bai Xu, and Sect Master Xue changed at the same time. They all felt that someone received all of their killing moves simultaneously, shocking them.
Who could be strong enough to receive the killing moves of three early-stage Major Primal Core experts all together?
Although these killing moves should have ended this conflict in an instant, the result was a stalemate. The three clashed with the Jiao Snake and was forced into a standoff.
Inside Idle Cloud Restaurant, Xiao Chen expressionlessly placed his hand on the Jiao Snake's body.
After a while, he shouted, "Dao!"
Heavy Great Dao Energy infused into the Jiao Snake's body. The stalemate between the Jiao Snake and the three experts instantly broke.
Han Feng, Bai Xu, and Sect Master Xue, who were hovering in the air, all immediately vomited a mouthful of blood and went flying far away.
The crowd cried out in shock. To think that three experts were knocked back at the same time!
Everyone felt like their brains short-circuited. What kind of existence was inside Idle Cloud Restaurant?
"Boom!"
The shock wave from the clash between the Jiao Snake and the three experts propagated, injuring the cultivators from the three factions, who surrounded the restaurant, significantly.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
A figure flashed; someone in white clothes flew out of Idle Cloud Restaurant. It was Xiao Chen.
"Kill!"
Xiao Chen's eyes swept through the place; then, he indifferently said that word before attacking without hesitation.
This was the moment when the leaders of the three factions were severely injured and had been sent flying; moreover, most of the cultivators were injured. The other side's momentum hit rock bottom; hence, this was the best time to make a move.
A strong desire to fight spread in Xiao Chen's heart as he held up his Lunar Shadow Saber, a treasure saber that could possibly surpass a Profound Tool. Then, he swept through everything before him.
The saber light flickered, and a scarlet light spread out. At this moment, one word appeared in everyone's mind: fight!
During this opportune moment to strike, Xiao Chen did not hold back much. In an instant, the place turned somewhat gory and cruel.
The three leaders could not support each other and had been caught off guard. Furthermore, they were all injured by the shock waves. On top of that, Xiao Chen and Xiao Suo suddenly jumped out and attacked.
The people of the Ice-Snow Mountain Manor, the Burning Moon Sect, and the Temple Ghost Sect either died or were severely injured.
This was especially so for the Temple Ghost Sect. Its group was the weakest. Nearly all of them died in moments.
If someone wants to kill me, I will definitely kill him!
Right now, these sect disciples and bandits looked like they were no longer a threat.
However, if the three experts recovered and reorganized them, they would become a strong fighting force. So if Xiao Chen was soft-hearted and did not take this opportunity to attack now, the one to die might be him.
When these people followed the three experts to surround Idle Cloud Restaurant to kill Xiao Chen, they should have considered that they might end up getting killed instead.
After about fifteen minutes, the three experts forcibly suppressed their injuries and returned to Idle Cloud Restaurant.
The scene that greeted them startled them; they revealed expressions of shock.
Blood flowed like a river before Idle Cloud Restaurant. Countless corpses piled up on the ground. Of the three factions, all of the Temple Ghost Sect members were dead. The surviving disciples of the Ice-Snow Mountain Manor and the Burning Moon Sect had lost their nerve and fled, running in all directions.
Only Xiao Chen stood in front of the building with his white robes stained with blood and his long hair fluttering.
It was not clear whether the blood was Xiao Chen's or another's. At this moment, the place was silent except for the blood dripping off the blades of the two's sabers.
The place was so quiet and still that the surrounding cultivators all felt a chill. Everyone broke out in a cold sweat, shocked speechless.
There was simply no way they could have predicted such a result.
With the Ice-Snow Mountain Manor, the Burning Moon Sect, and the Temple Ghost Sect working together, three factions in total, there were three Major Primal Core experts. Even so, they still failed to take down Xiao Chen.
Instead, Xiao Chen killed many of the disciples and gang members, showing no mercy.
"You... you... you are actually that cruel. You actually killed all of the people of my Temple Ghost Sect!" Sect Master Xue was so angry that his entire body trembled. The Temple Ghost Sect that he put in so much effort to build was completely destroyed today.
Han Feng and Bai Xu were both incredibly enraged as well. The Ice-Snow Mountain Manor and the Burning Moon Sect had not suffered such enormous losses for many years already.
Xiao Chen said coldly, "What a joke! If I don't kill them, should I let you organize these people and give you a chance to charge into Idle Cloud Restaurant? Should I just watch as my friends and myself get plunged into danger?
"This matter involves my own interests and safety. Don't bother trying to peg me as cruel. I, Xiao Chen, have never been an indecisive person."
This retort stifled the three; they did not know how to rebut.
That was right. That was their initial plan.
In the earlier exchange, the three already guessed that there was a late-stage Major Primal Core existence in Idle Cloud Restaurant. They planned to have Hang Feng and Bai Xu delay that late-stage Major Primal Core expert while Sect Master Xue led the three-hundred-odd people in charging inside to kill Xiao Chen.
After Xiao Chen died, that late-stage Major Primal Core expert would definitely choose to leave.
However, the three clearly had not expected to see such a scene when they returned.
Corpses and bones littered the ground; blood flowed like a river. The front of Idle Cloud Restaurant looked like hell materialized.
As the three gazed at Xiao Chen, they suddenly discovered that this person had a formidable air that came from age and experiencing many difficulties.
Xiao Chen's air was actually no inferior to the three Major Primal Core cultivators'; in fact, it was even stronger.
Extremely far away, Lan Luo pressed her hand to her mouth in some disbelief.
Her pretty eyes were fixed on the front of Idle Cloud Restaurant, at Xiao Chen, whose white robes were stained with blood, facing three Major Primal Core experts while holding his saber.
A strange light flashed in her eyes. If Xiao Chen had said those words before, Lan Luo would only have felt some appreciation for his intentions; now, her heart raced, making her feel conflicted.
"You can forget about entering Idle Cloud Restaurant. Otherwise, no matter who it is, I will make him pay the most miserable price."
Xiao Chen stood upright while holding his saber. His blood-stained robes fluttered in the wind.
With the piles of corpses covering the ground and the flowing river of blood, no one doubted what Xiao Chen said.
Han Feng, Bai Xu, and Sect Master Xue immediately hesitated, not daring to charge forward.
The matters that happened today were sufficient to prove that clashing head-on with Xiao Chen would have no good end.
If they continued, even if they could kill Xiao Chen, the Ice-Snow Mountain Manor and the Burning Moon Sect would definitely end up paying ten times—even one hundred times—what they already paid.
In the end, was it worth it or not?
"Hahaha! To think that the Burning Moon Sect and the Ice-Snow Mountain Manor are going to admit defeat against an unknown stranger!" Suddenly, laughter came from the distance. The Wind Chasing Sect's Feng Buyu appeared at this place, leading a group of people.
Feng Buyu, the last new talent of the Purple Sun Region, appeared at the critical moment when everyone had almost forgotten about him.
Originally, everyone had thought that Feng Buyu would not have any interaction with Xiao Chen. However, right now, the situation did not seem quite right.
"Feng Buyu, what are you here for?" Han Feng asked coldly with a somewhat unsightly expression.
Feng Buyu ignored Han Feng. He looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Xiao Chen, I remember that you bought a pirate banner in the Purple Cloud Pavilion. Right now, the seller wants it back. We have already come to an agreement with the Purple Cloud Pavilion. Hand over the pirate banner."
The manager of the Purple Cloud Pavilion, the beautiful woman that Lan Luo addressed as Auntie Bai, slowly walked out from behind Feng Buyu. She looked at Xiao Chen and said softly, "Sorry. However, we will return five times the Spirit Jades to you to make up for Young Master Xiao Chen's loss. We can even help you deal with your current situation."
Feng Buyu nodded and said, "That's right. My Wind Chasing Sect can guarantee your safety and agree to one of your requests."
Even the original owner of the pirate banner was pushed forward, and he expressed his hope of retrieving the pirate banner. Everything looked very reasonable. All that remained was for Xiao Chen to agree.
Xiao Chen's heart sank. It looked like the secret of the Scarlet Blood War Banner had still leaked.
