novelRage of the Wolf Pack
| ← Ch.1782 | Ch.1784 → |
Everyone laughed heartily at the main banquet.
Under the influence of wine, the laughter became increasingly overboard and wanton.
People started to mock the Black Cutlass. It was as if mocking the Black Cutlass was a requirement for mingling in this group.
This was rather normal. Many times, such mockery was needed at the table to get everyone to laugh heartily.
However, what was not normal was that the true owner of the Black Cutlass was on the roof beam.
"Boom!"
Just as everyone was laughing very heartily, a hole suddenly opened in the roof. Xiao Chen floated down and stood on a wine flask with one foot. His body appeared as light as a feather.
"Who?!"
Such a scene shocked all the honored guests at the main banquet; they did not know what was going on.
The Wolf King Jiang Hengchuan's face sank. He did not see any killing Qi coming from Xiao Chen, so he waved his hand and stopped the people behind him who were about to attack.
The Wolf King looked at Xiao Chen and asked, "Who are you, and why are you so rude?"
Xiao Chen put some force into his foot, and a bit of energy spread out.
Immediately, all the delicacies on the table, all the seafood and wild game flew out, shooting every which way.
The honored guests in all directions hastily tried to block the hideous mess flying at them.
After the energy swept through the place, the table was much cleaner. Then, Xiao Chen set down.
Xiao Chen looked at the Wolf King Jiang Hengchuan and said, "Weren't you laughing very happily earlier? This untalented one is the master of the Black Cutlass."
These words set the place abuzz. All the honored guests appeared somewhat embarrassed.
This reaction was very normal since they had spoken bad about someone behind their backs and mocked them as fools. Who knew, that person was right here and heard everything. Now that they were caught, it would be strange if they were not embarrassed.
The scene immediately turned somewhat odd. The menacing people who originally wanted to reprimand Xiao Chen had to swallow back their words. This feeling was rather unbearable.
Actually, everyone found the situation strange. Even if they were speaking behind someone's back and were caught, it should not feel this uncomfortable.
Why was it that when they faced this youth, they felt guilty and did not dare to be presumptuous?
When the Wolf King Jiang Hengchuan heard Xiao Chen identify himself, he was stunned at first, feeling that he was in the wrong.
However, after that, Jiang Hengchuan smiled coldly."What's wrong? You have an opinion on me fooling the Black Cutlass like a monkey?"
With these words, the crowd immediately startled awake.
That was right. Why were they in the wrong and found this unbearable?
This was the Wolf King Jiang Hengchuan's birthday banquet. The Wolf King was a peak early-stage Star Venerate. He had eight subordinates who were as strong as small perfection or great perfection early-stage Star Venerates.
All those present here were at the very least peak Major Primal Core cultivators. Why should they feel that they had wronged this fellow?
The strong fed on the weak. This was just a peak Major Primal Core kid. Even if the Wolf King scolded him in front of everyone, this kid had to listen obediently and not rebut.
Xiao Chen coldly smiled in his heart when he saw the change in everyone's expression.
He extended his left hand and instantly formed the Buddhist's Seven Kill Seal.
It was like the lotus flower not retaining water or the sun and moon never remaining in the sky forever.
The instant Xiao Chen formed the hand seal, his heart entered a trance. However, the killing intent hidden in his body multiplied sevenfold and erupted.
"Whoosh!"
The spreading killing intent seemed to solidify, making breathing difficult.
A few of the weaker people started trembling, sweat pouring down their foreheads. Their complexions turned so pale that they could not turn any paler.
Xiao Chen's killing Qi was very horrifying in the first place. After it was multiplied by seven times, its terror was simply unimaginable.
"This is a personal grudge. Those who are not related may leave quickly, " Xiao Chen said indifferently as he stared at the Wolf King Jiang Hengchuan.
If there were someone around whose Soul Energy reached the level of a Holy Venerate, he would discover that the killing Qi spreading out from Xiao Chen's entire body was pitch-black. It was like the claws of ghostly monsters sweeping through the hall.
However, Xiao Chen's body itself gave off a faint light, appearing devoid of thoughts and emotions.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Right after Xiao Chen spoke, the honored guests present felt like they were relieved of a heavy burden.
These people used all their might and knocked down the windows in their haste to flee.
The many guests in the courtyard noticed what was happening on the top floor. This scene triggered a huge commotion.
"What's going on? Why are the people attending the main banquet flying out?"
"There's killing Qi!"
"What a strong killing Qi."
"Could it be that someone is challenging the Wolf King?"
When the windows shattered, the people below felt Xiao Chen's killing intent.
The bustling birthday banquet immediately fell silent. All of the guests put down their wine cups and gazed at the top floor of the tall pavilion in confusion.
They had no idea what exactly was going on.
On the top floor, the Wolf King Jiang Hengchuan already turned ashen much earlier. However, he did not act rashly.
The previously noisy main banquet soon emptied out, leaving only the Wolf King and his subordinates.
Those who were not involved were frightened into flight, not daring to stay due to the terror of Xiao Chen's sevenfold killing intent.
After Xiao Chen revealed that horrifying killing intent, no one dared to doubt his strength.
Everyone cherished their life. How could they dare to get involved?
"Kill him..."
Unable to endure Xiao Chen's killing intent, the Wolf King roared furiously. The people behind resisted the pressure, wanting to charge over.
However, this was the opportunity that Xiao Chen was waiting for.
He wanted them to become rash and impatient under the influence of his sevenfold killing intent, which would make them reveal openings.
Xiao Chen immediately drew the Tyrant Saber.
After taking the opening stance of the Mahāmāyā Abstinence Violation Saber Technique, he followed up with Resolving the Mundane, materializing an eternal saber light that swept out.
"Boom!"
The moment the saber light appeared, all the might accumulated by the Seven Kill Seal infused into the saber.
The subordinates of the Wolf King bore the brunt of the attack and got knocked into the air, shrieking miserably.
The saber light hacked apart the roof of the top floor, leaving Xiao Chen, holding up his saber while standing upright, and the Wolf King Jiang Hengchuan, who blocked the saber light.
With several of the Wolf King's subordinates shielding him in front, he managed to avoid the full force of the sevenfold-killing-intent-enhanced Resolving the Mundane, only having to deal with less than thirty percent of its original might.
However, even so, the Wolf King was still significantly injured.
This was due mainly to the sheer vastness of Xiao Chen's killing Qi. Its impact felt more horrifying than that of middle-stage Star Venerates.
"Someone really is trying to kill the Wolf King!"
"How courageous and what a scary saber light!"
"When combined with that overwhelming killing Qi, that person actually managed to knock away all of the Wolf King's personal guards."
"Who is that white-clad bladesman? I have never heard of such a person in the Grave Sea before."
All of the honored guests who saw this scene were shocked and flabbergasted.
It was already very surprising that someone dared to cause trouble at the birthday banquet. What was even more unexpected was that the troublemaker was actually such a young bladesman.
All of the guests in the entire courtyard stared at the top floor, completely distracted.
After wiping away the blood at the corner of his lips, the Wolf King looked at Xiao Chen and smiled."I once thought about such a scene that is before me now, wondering who would be the first to step out and challenge me. However, I never thought that it would be an arrogant, self-absorbed brat.
"It doesn't matter where you learned this secret technique to make your killing Qi turn so terrifying. You will definitely die today. Who do you think you are facing?!
"You are facing the Wolf King! The entire Wolf Smoke Pirate Group crossed mountains of corpses and seas of blood with me, Jiang Hengchuan. Wherever the wind blows and the rain is, the wolf pack is there!"
Jiang Hengchuan's tone grew fervid, his voice slowly increasing in resonance. Eventually, it became deafening, like roaring thunder, making everyone's blood rush and the entire body tremble.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Many figures soared up from the ground. The crew of the Wolf Smoke Pirate Group filled the sky. These people surrounded the entire tall pavilion.
In that instant, numerous eyes stared at Xiao Chen. The pirates were like ravenous wolves staring at their prey.
Xiao Chen looked around casually. A rough count gave him no less than one thousand people, all elites of the Wolf Smoke Pirate Group.
When Jiang Hengchuan saw that Xiao Chen did not reveal any horror, he felt slightly startled. He said, "Interesting, even the Savage Blood Star Venerate from back then was not this bold, daring to come and kill me alone."
"Kill you?"
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "You are overthinking. I came here just to ask a question. However, right now, it already no longer matters, as you do indeed deserve death."
The Wolf King smiled and said, "Indeed, there are many people in this world who deserve death. I will die too, but not now. There is only one person who deserves death today, and that is you." His voice had suddenly turned sinister.
As he looked at Xiao Chen, he ordered coldly, "Kill him!"
The surrounding Wolf Smoke Pirate Group crewmembers launched themselves at Xiao Chen without hesitation.
The furious war cries of the wolf pack sounded like the roar of the sea in the mountains; the sky even changed color.
So far, the Wolf Smoke Pirate Group crewmembers had never failed when attacking together.
