novelThunder Origin
| ← Ch.0929 | Ch.0931 → |
Xing Qingyun smiled embarrassedly and shut his mouth, not saying anymore.
Soon, thunder boomed below, and the old man flew out, looking charred. He held a small purple dragon in his hand and said, "I nearly let him run away. Young Master Ye, here is the Thunder Origin. Can this Lord Jiu leave now?"
A Thunder Origin was something created after a Spirit Vein mutated and gained spirituality, similar to a Wind Origin, a Fire Origin, and an Ice Origin.
Compared to Spirit Vein's origins, these mutated Origins were even more effective for cultivators of the same attribute. Thus, they were much more valuable than Spirit Vein's origins.
As Xiao Chen sealed up the Thunder Origin, a strange look flashed in his eyes. This old man was rather capable. Ordinary people would not be able to capture a Thunder Origin, which had already gained spirituality.
Just then, there was a loud rumbling. The ground underfoot started shaking violently. Multicolored lights shot up into the sky at the limits of their vision.
Ethereal celestial music came from the multicolored lights. An Immortal palace could even be seen indistinctly. Fairies made music and danced above it.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Instantly, countless figures from all over the Heavenly Ruin Wasteland headed towards the multicolored lights.
A fervent look appeared in the old man's eyes as he said, "The Immortal sect's Mountain Protection Formation is finally broken. Haha! This Lord Jiu is going to be rich! I'll take my leave first."
"Old man, where are you going?! This Alliance Chief has not dismissed you yet!"
When Xing Qingyun saw this old man trembling before Xiao Chen, he really took him to be as timid as a mouse. So he did not worry about him at all. His figure flashed as he happily stepped in front of the old man.
"Screw you! How dare you block this Lord Jiu?"
When the old man saw Xing Qingyun planting himself in his path, he casually sent out a palm strike. Xing Qingyun flew back with a loud 'bang, ' unable to resist at all; his chest felt incomparably painful.
"Ow! You old thing! I'm not finished with you!" Xing Qingyun cried out as he rolled on the ground, clutching his chest. His face scrunched up with intense pain that made him want to die.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly. This Xing Qingyun was helpless. Then, Xiao Chen looked into the distance at the multicolored lights with a contemplative expression.
The Mountain Protection Formation lasted so many days before it broke. Evidently, this Immortal sect Remnant was really that of a large Immortal sect. It would definitely attract many experts.
Xiao Chen had no idea how much divine material he needed to consume before the Azure Dragon Body Nourishing Art could be of any use. He had to go to this Immortal sect Remnant.
However, Di Wuque and the true inheritors of the Frost Moon Palace and Heavenly Music Sect were there. Furthermore, there was an unknown number of elders from their sects accompanying them.
On top of that, countless loose cultivators were all eyeing his peak grade Immortal Spirit Ring.
Even if Di Wuque had only one eye left, he would be able to recognize Xiao Chen on sight. Xiao Chen would immediately face a deadly situation.
"Brother Ye, the Immortal sect Remnant has opened. Should we go and join in? Who knows, Xiao Chen might be there. Don't forget the true purpose of our Demon Slaying Alliance."
Despite his lack of skills, Xing Qingyun still made a start on his task. He arrived before Xiao Chen, overflowing with obvious excitement.
"Let's go. You lead the way."
Being indecisive was not in Xiao Chen's character. He thought for a while and eventually decided to go. The Immortal sect Remnant was vast and boundless. There was no reason for him to end up meeting Di Wuque face-to-face there.
The identity of the Bloody Young Master Ye Chen would be able to help him for a bit of time. When he finally broke through to peak Medial Grade Martial Sage, he would not have anything to fear.
Xing Qingyun immediately and happily led the way, heading towards the multicolored lights.
The Heavenly Ruin Wasteland was so large, it seemed endless. Aside from Immortal sect Remnants, one could occasionally stumble over natural treasures like Thunder Bamboo.
Under Xiao Chen's instigation, Xing Qingyun would use the name of the Demon Slaying Alliance to start disputes and gain benefits.
Along the way, although they moved at a slow pace, they reaped a good harvest.
As they approached the Immortal sect Remnant, the number of experts around increased. The area became increasingly chaotic. Xiao Chen could no longer get a complete grasp of the situation.
However, he had good eyes. If he saw that the situation was not right, he would immediately detour around it.
"How miserable! I got robbed by Xiao Chen again. He took all the Secret Treasures on me and even my spatial ring."
"I'm even more miserable. After he robbed me of my spatial ring, he even scolded me for being poor, saying that I wasted his time."
"This Xiao Chen is going overboard. He is also getting ridiculously strong. I heard that he even robbed several grandmaster-level Martial Sages."
"The White Robed King Xiao Chen is truly bold!"
The two walked past a group of Martial Sages with hangdog expressions. This was not the first time Xiao Chen and Xing Qingyun heard about people being robbed by "Xiao Chen."
While Xing Qingyun did not react to this, Xiao Chen was concerned. Was the white figure that they saw at the entrance to the Heavenly Ruin Wasteland really using his name?
"Whoosh!"
Just as Xiao Chen was thinking, the ground in front of them burst open. A short figure fell over in a sorry state. After he climbed back to his feet, he headed for Xiao Chen and Xing Qingyun in a huff, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Xing Qingyun squinted and said, "Old thing, you still dare to come?!"
The short old man was the Lord Jiu who helped them retrieve the Thunder Origin two days ago. At this moment, he was fleeing for his life with all his might as if someone was hot on his tail.
Xing Qingyun stepped forward and blocked the old man again. This time, he went flying back in a sorrier state than the last time, tumbling over in the air.
The old man moved like the wind, flashing by Xiao Chen. Then he returned at an even faster speed, looking at Xiao Chen with pleased surprise.
Just as Xing Qingyun, who was in the air, was about to land, the old man caught him. An embarrassed smile filled his face as he said, "So it is Alliance Chief Xing and Young Master Ye. I was in a rush earlier and did not see clearly. I could not see clearly at all."
Xing Qingyun's internal organs surged. He was about to curse the old man when he saw a white figure in front holding a long, slender saber. Saber intent covered this figure's body, stirring up winds and clouds everywhere.
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
The hum of sabers gathered together, and the sky and ground trembled.
"Whoosh!"
The old man's and Xing Qingyun's expressions changed. At the crucial moment, they both hid behind Xiao Chen.
"Xiao Chen! Xiao Chen is really here!" This development startled Xing Qingyun greatly. Along the way, the Demon Slaying Alliance had gained some fame. Now, several people knew about this group that existed for the sake of hunting down Xiao Chen.
Even the mighty King Killing Alliance perished at the hands of the Demon Slaying Alliance.
However, when Xing Qingyun truly saw "Xiao Chen, " he was terrified on the spot.
Xiao Chen looked up with interest, checking out this white figure before him. Without a doubt, this was the person that he had seen at the entrance to the Heavenly Ruin Wasteland.
Once Xiao Chen saw someone, he would not forget them. He would not confuse a person he had seen before with someone else.
The white figure before Xiao Chen looked very handsome. He was dressed in white and emitted a sharp saber intent. Aside from the unconcealable sinister atmosphere he exuded, he did seem to fit the description of Xiao Chen.
However, this person would not fool anyone who had met Xiao Chen before. If he met with someone who knew Xiao Chen, he would be discovered in an instant.
The white-clad person glanced at the old man behind Xiao Chen before sizing up Xiao Chen. The corners of his lips curled up as he said, "Interesting. You even dare to protect the person that I, Xiao Chen, want to kill. Have you not heard of me before, the White Robed King Xiao Chen?"
This person actually used Xiao Chen's name to kill and snatch treasures. Xiao Chen really wanted to say "If you are Xiao Chen, then who am I?"
However, this moment was naturally not the time to reveal his identity. Xiao Chen opened the folding fan and smiled coldly."Xiao Chen? You came at the right time. I am the Northern Sea Alliance's Bloody Young Master Ye Chen. I have long heard of your great name. The Demon Slaying Alliance exists for you. Today, we can take your head to spread my name, the Bloody Young Master."
When Xiao Chen said that, he sounded very natural. His expression was calm, and he did not stammer at all, appearing entirely confident.
In the past, there had always been people saying similar things to him. Today, he was the one saying it. He found it rather fun.
"Ye Chen?!"
When the white figure heard the name Ye Chen, he clearly appeared stunned. He gave Xiao Chen a strange glance before smiling in understanding."It turns out that the recently famous Demon Slaying Alliance is you two."
The two stared daggers at each other, not giving way. Strong auras clashed intensely in the air.
Four strands of golden light flowed around the purple talisman in Xiao Chen's sea of consciousness. His will of thunder and the vague form of his saber soul turned into a formless aura, pressing on the other party.
A scarlet light flashed in the white figure's eyes. Instantly, a sea of blood surged, and a strong will of massacre spread throughout his whole body. With a casual swing of his saber, he blocked Xiao Chen's aura.
The clangor of weapons rang in the air, propagating ear-splitting noises into the distance. The clouds and winds stirred; thunder roared.
The collision between the will of massacre and the immortal will of thunder was even more startling. A scarlet light clashed with a purple light, twisting space. Cracks appeared on the ground along with sounds of explosions.
Before the two officially fought, their auras already put strong pressure on Xing Qingyun and the old man, who both quickly moved to the side.
A trace of suspicion arose at the same time in the hearts of the two men in the air. As they looked at each other, an inexplicable smile appeared on both their faces.
"The Bloody Young Master Ye Chen really lives up to his reputation. However, Ye Chen's forte seems to be the way of killing. Are you still holding back?"
The white figure raised his eyebrows as he held the saber in his hand. It seemed like he could shatter the sky at any time.
Smiling faintly, Xiao Chen closed the folding fan."The White Robed King Xiao Chen's forte seems to be the will of thunder and the Flawless saber Dao. You are apparently hiding your skills as well, so I am just playing along."
"Hahaha! Heaven is really helping me. I never expected that while chasing after Xiao Chen, I would manage to find the two bastards of the Demon Slaying Alliance as well."
Just as Xiao Chen and his opponent were about to initiate a big battle, an unknown voice came from high in the sky.
Gao Baiyu and Yun Tianhe appeared standing next to each other in a palace. An old man stood behind each of them.
Xiao Chen made a quick check and frowned. These two old men were unexpectedly grandmaster-level Martial Sages of the same level as the Demonic Brilliant Two Elders.
Gao Baiyu looked expressionlessly at the white figure and said in a cold voice, "Xiao Chen, you killed an inner sect elder of my Heavenly Music Sect and dare to run about like that. You are really tired of living."
Yun Tianhe shouted coldly, "Xing Qingyun, after killing an inner sect elder of my Frost Moon Palace, today will be the day you die."
When Xing Qingyun, who was hiding far away, heard this, he nearly fell to his knees. He was already keeping a very low profile. Why was it that Yun Tianhe persisted in harping on this?
