Xiao Chen took the initiative to attack. He lashed out with his sword, and the tip of the sword went straight for the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man did not choose to evade Xiao Chen's attack, choosing to take it head-on instead.
As a half-step Ancestor Realm master, it would indeed be a bit shameful if he chose to dodge in the face of an Emperor Realm cultivator, and the middle-aged man would certainly not do so.
Xiao Chen was not surprised by this. After all, how many people who could reach this step did not have any pride in their hearts?
The two collided head-on, and Xiao Chen was still at a disadvantage. However, such a disadvantage did not affect Xiao Chen at all, because if it was just a small gap, it would not affect him at all. After all, Xiao Chen was not completely powerless to fight back.
The two immediately engaged in a fierce battle, and as the battle continued, the middle-aged man became more and more alarmed because Xiao Chen's combat strength had far exceeded his imagination.
Sword Body, Sword World, and various means could be said to be endless. Such strength was almost comparable to a half-step Ancestor Realm master.
He originally thought that taking down Xiao Chen would be an easy task for him, but now, it seemed that things were not so at all. Xiao Chen's strength could be said to be almost the same as his own.
Although he could occupy a slight advantage in a head-on confrontation, this small advantage could not play a decisive role at all, let alone determine the final outcome.
Moreover, the middle-aged man gradually felt a trace of pressure as he fought Xiao Chen. If he was not careful, he might be injured by Xiao Chen, which was what he could not accept the most.
Xiao Chen, who was only an Emperor Realm Master, actually had the ability to injure him, which surprised the middle-aged man.
Xiao Chen did not think as much as the middle-aged man. After a fierce battle, Xiao Chen had a general understanding of the gap between him and a half-step Ancestor Realm master.
He could fight, and it was hard to say who would win in the end. However, in all fairness, his chances of winning were not high, but he could still give it a try.
Facing a half-step Ancestor Realm expert, Xiao Chen was no longer powerless to fight back. In fact, if he fought with his life on the line, the final outcome would be hard to predict.
Of course, this also depended on what kind of half-step Ancestor Realm expert he was facing. If it was a half-step Ancestor Realm expert like Xie Tian, Xiao Chen would have a high chance of winning. However, facing this middle aged man in front of him, Xiao Chen only had a 30% chance of winning. If he met an even stronger half-step Ancestor Realm expert, Xiao Chen wouldn't have any hope.
However, putting aside whether he could defeat a half-step Progenitor Realm expert, at the very least, Xiao Chen had sufficient ability to protect himself before a half-step Progenitor Realm expert. If Xiao Chen wanted to leave, even a half-step Progenitor Realm expert would find it very difficult to stop him.
After clearly understanding the gap between his strength and a half-step Ancestor Realm expert, Xiao Chen did not intend to continue fighting.
Although he seemed to be fighting back and forth with this middle-aged man and it was very exciting, the longer the battle dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for Xiao Chen. After all, there were cultivators from the macro world everywhere who were besieging him.
At this moment, the battle between the two had already caused quite a stir. It would not be long before the other experts from the outside world arrived. If he was surrounded, it would be somewhat troublesome to leave at that time.
Xiao Chen was naturally not afraid of a one on one fight, but being surrounded was not something Xiao Chen was willing to see, especially when there was a half-step Ancestor Realm expert eyeing him covetously.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen immediately prepared to withdraw and leave. However, the middle aged man also saw through Xiao Chen's thoughts and immediately prepared to attack Xiao Chen.
At this point, the middle aged man also knew that it was probably very difficult to take down Xiao Chen by himself, so he directly changed his strategy. He wanted to delay Xiao Chen and wait for the other experts from the outside world to arrive so that they could join forces to kill Xiao Chen.
However, in the face of the middle aged man's attack, Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "If I want to leave, you should know that you can't stop me. Emperor's Sword."
With a swing of the sword, the sword tip instantly rushed towards the middle aged man. Seeing this, the middle aged man had no choice but to block it. However, in an instant, Xiao Chen had already disappeared without a trace.
Just as Xiao Chen said, if he wanted to leave, the middle aged man could not stop him at all.
Seeing that there was no one around, the middle aged man's face sank. He did not expect that he would not be able to take down Xiao Chen even if he personally took action. Moreover, he could not even stop him. This was a huge blow to him.
A cold light flickered in the middle aged man's eyes. Without saying a word, his figure also disappeared on the spot. It seemed that he had gone to chase after Xiao Chen. However, Xiao Chen had already disappeared and it would not be easy to find him again.
For the first time, Xiao Chen encountered a half-step Progenitor realm expert. After a fierce battle, he successfully escaped. On the other hand, in the Cloud Palace, Lin Yun did not pay much attention to Xiao Chen's situation these days. After all, the stage had been set. Whether or not Xiao Chen could succeed depended on himself.
At this moment, in Lin Yun's residence, an illusory figure was sitting opposite Lin Yun. If Xiao Chen was here, he would definitely recognize that the illusory figure was the Palace Master of Immortal Hall, Mu Lingxian.
Mu Lingxian and Lin Yun were together. However, both of their faces were cold. Mu Lingxian said coldly, "The Demon Abyss has sent no less than three batches of people to the Great Thousand World, but I stopped them all. Moreover, it is said that the Evil Sect is also ready to make a move. How is the situation on your side?"
Ever since the incident at Mu Tian Mountain, the people from the Demon Abyss did not seem to have made any moves. It seemed like they had given up on the Great Thousand World. However, Lin Yun and Mu Lingxian knew very well that the Demon Abyss had never given up on coveting the Great Thousand World.
However, every time the Demon Abyss sent people over, they were intercepted by the people from Immortal Hall. Therefore, they could not reach the Great Thousand World.
However, this was only a temporary measure after all. Mu Lingxian could not keep doing this. Moreover, the Demon Abyss was not the only one who had their eyes on the Great Thousand World. The Evil Sect had also begun to move frequently during this period. It seemed like they had also received orders from the Dark Age to attack the Great Thousand World.
Xiao Chen did not know that the Great Thousand World had become a piece of fat meat in everyone's eyes. It was also because of this that Lin Yun was so anxious to let Xiao Chen break through to the Progenitor realm. This situation could only be changed if a World Lord was born in the Great Thousand World as soon as possible.
Upon hearing Mu Lingxian's words, Lin Yun said indifferently, "I'll get Lin Yuan and the others to help you. At least delay them and give Xiao Chen some time."
