Trapped by love, Ling Yu resolutely embarked on the path of bitter cultivation.
Since Xiao Chen did so because of love, he also embarked on a similar path.
As long as there was hope, he could not give up.
Ling Yu looked at the somewhat melancholic Xiao Chen. "Martial Uncle, did something happen to you in the Soaring Dragon Great Realm? I feel that you have changed somewhat. "
"What changed?"
"I can't tell what exactly has changed. However, Martial Uncle has indeed changed. In the past, Martial Uncle's face always remained calm; no changes in his expression could be seen. Although it is still like that now, I can tell that there is a lingering sense of loss lingering on your face.
"Most importantly, Martial Uncle purposely left this sense of loss behind. Given Martial Uncle's mental state, you should be able to cut it off at any time.
"However, Martial Uncle did not. This means that the person related to this sense of loss is exceptionally important to Martial Uncle. Even if it already affected your mental state, you are unwilling to cut it off, letting it linger in your heart, never dispersing. As the saying goes, one does not know where love comes from, but one is deeply devoted to it. Martial Uncle, you should be careful. "
Xiao Chen felt stunned when he heard that. Unexpectedly, after not seeing Ling Yu for one year, his observation skills had become so meticulous.
Or was it as Ling Yu said? Did I take a picture?
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and did not deny Ling Yu's words.
Ling Yu smiled and said, "It looks like I was right."
"So what if you are right and so what if you are wrong? Just worry about yourself. Although bitter cultivation can quickly raise your strength, if you overexert yourself and injure yourself, the losses outweigh the gains. "
Xiao Chen warned. Few people chose the path of bitter cultivation.
Firstly, it was too painful and unbearable. Secondly, the risk was too high, and it was easy to injure oneself.
Ling Yu's stubbornness inevitably worried Xiao Chen. He did not know how to face Senior Brother Ye in the future.
Ling Yu smiled and said, "Martial Uncle, don't worry about me. I won't die."
"I hope so." Xiao Chen sighed softly. Ling Yu had no choice but to make his own choices.
After not seeing each other for more than a year, the two chatted happily.
Ling Yu also told Xiao Chen about some of his confusion on the Martial Dao without holding back. Xiao Chen patiently answered and explained.
Unknowingly, the afterglow of the setting sun had completely descended.
A loud shout broke this rare silence.
"White Robed Xiao Chen, come out. I know you're back."
Ling Yu's expression changed slightly as he looked at Xiao Chen. "It's Shangguan Lei. The voice came from the Greeting of Swords' Edges."
The Greeting of Swords' Edges was where the face of the sect was.
Xiao Chen had been there once, so he knew what kind of place it was. There were all kinds of sects there.
Ever since Xiao Chen defeated Shangguan Lei in the Fiendish Demon Battlefield, very few people in the Divine Firmament Sect dared to appear at the Purple Flame Sect's Greeting of Swords' Edges.
This time, after Shangguan Lei found out that Xiao Chen had returned, he came to take revenge.
After some thought, Xiao Chen understood the reason behind it.
"Martial Uncle, I heard that this Shangguan Lei put in a lot of effort to obtain a Dao Tool to defeat you. He has been cultivating like a madman and has been waiting for you to come back. He came prepared. "
Ling Yu said cautiously. After all, Xiao Chen had not broken through to Star Venerate yet.
Ling Yu did not know Xiao Chen's true strength, so he could not help worrying. "Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! "
Just as the two decided to go out and take a look, Shangguan Lei's figure suddenly appeared on the courtyard wall.
"Shangguan Lei, all the grudges between the sect disciples have to be resolved at the Greeting of Swords' Edges. Are you trying to start a war between the Divine Firmament Sect and the Purple Flame Sect? "
Below, Hua Yunfeng and the other true inheritors quickly followed, showing some rage on their faces.
Several Elders also appeared in the dark, locking their auras on Shangguan Lei.
Forcibly barging in like Shangguan Lei had already broken the rules of the sect.
If not for Xiao Chen's status and strength, someone would have taken him down long ago.
Shangguan Lei said seriously, "Hua Yunfeng, don't be wishy-washy like a woman. As long as Xiao Chen is willing to fight with me, I will personally apologize. After this, I will personally apologize. Can't you tell if I want to start a war between the sects or not? "
Indeed … everyone could tell that Shangguan Lei was here purely for Xiao Chen.
If not for this reason, the sect Elders would have worked together to chase him out long ago.
"Xiao Chen, if you are not willing to fight with him, we can chase him away now."
The voice projections of the sect Elders appeared in Xiao Chen's mind.
Clearly, these sect elders were very respectful to Xiao Chen, speaking very politely to him.
"There's no need to chase him away," Xiao Chen replied.
Then, he indicated to Shangguan Lei, "Think carefully before you make your move. You only have one chance."
When Shangguan Lei heard that, he could not help laughing loudly. "How arrogant! One year ago, if you held a Dao Tool, how could you defeat me? One year later, I advanced to Star Venerate and grasped a Dao Tool. Even if I gave you three moves, you would not be able to defeat me. "
Xiao Chen said slowly, "Many things … can change in one year."
"Cut the crap. Stop putting on an act. This old man will defeat you with one saber strike!"
Right after Shangguan Lei said those words, he roared and attacked in a fit of rage.
When Shangguan Lei's saber landed, nine thunderous explosions rang out. The Dao Tool in his hand trembled nine times in the air at a speed that was hard to detect with the naked eye.
With each tremble, the Thunder Might from the previous tremble would layer on top of each other.
Shangguan Lei's aura was already terrifyingly strong.
Dark clouds covered the sky, and lightning flashed, encasing the area for five kilometers around.
When Shangguan Lei leaped down, he looked like a raging Heavenly Lord of Thunder. A terrifying figure appeared behind him.
The saber light in Shangguan Lei's hand was three hundred meters long.
When the saber light landed, an overwhelming shock wave swept out in all directions. Caught off guard, this shock wave immediately knocked many Purple Flame Sect disciples into the air.
"The Divine Firmament Nine Changes layered nine times. He really succeeded."
"I recall that many Elders in the Divine Firmament Sect can only layer eight times. To think that he actually managed to layer nine times."
The moment Shangguan Lei executed this move, countless Elders exclaimed in regret.
It would have been better if they had gotten Xiao Chen to come out and receive this move, forcing Shangguan Lei to leave as soon as possible. If Xiao Chen lost, the prestige that he had accumulated for the Purple Flame Sect would vanish like smoke.
If that happened, the prestige that Shangguan Lei had accumulated for the Purple Flame Sect would vanish like smoke, vanishing completely.
Instead, it would allow Shangguan Lei to rise to a higher level.
Even the Divine Firmament Sect's prestige would suppress the Purple Flame Sect.
However, just as everyone worried for Xiao Chen, the space in the courtyard suddenly froze.
Even the dust stopped moving. Xiao Chen stretched out two fingers and caught Shangguan Lei's saber in the time it took for a spark to fly.
Just like that, Xiao Chen caught the saber with two simple fingers.
"How can this be?!"
Many exclamations rang out at the same time, their eyes filled with incredulity.
Hua Yunfeng was somewhat flabbergasted, gaping. He was not that worried about Xiao Chen.
He believed that Xiao Chen definitely had a fortuitous encounter and absolutely would not lose to Shangguan Lei.
However, Hua Yunfeng did not expect that Xiao Chen would use two fingers to catch Shangguan Lei's saber, preventing him from moving or retreating.
"This …"
Shangguan Lei was utterly stunned. He brought out his full power but could not advance by even an inch, much less draw his saber.
"Dang!"
Xiao Chen waved his two fingers, and the saber in Shangguan Lei's hand trembled. A strong force rebounded.
The saber immediately twisted like a water snake. The force traveled to Shangguan Lei's arm, breaking every bone in his body.
The force spread to half his body before Shangguan Lei managed to block it.
However, Shangguan Lei was already sent flying, crashing into the courtyard wall and vomiting a large mouthful of blood.
Even standing up was somewhat difficult for Shangguan Lei.
"You!"
Shangguan Lei pointed at Xiao Chen. However, he could not say anything, feeling pent up in his chest.
Shangguan Lei was startled and flustered. All sorts of emotions welled up in his mind.
He felt stifled in his chest, unable to go up or down. His Qi and blood surged, and his eyes widened. His face turned even redder, looking like an inflated ball that would explode at any moment.
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. Then, he flicked his finger, and a strand of saber Qi struck an acupoint on Shangguan Lei's chest.
"Pu ci!"
Shangguan Lei vomited another mouthful of blood, and the surging Qi and blood on his face quickly receded.
Xiao Chen could already tell that something had gone wrong with Shangguan Lei's cultivation. Shangguan Lei only pursued strength and tyranny. This resulted in many hidden dangers in his body. If there were any setbacks, he would enter Berserking Qi Deviation and self-destruct.
This was the principle of being too firm and easy to break.
Back then, Ye Zifeng had said that the master and disciple had comprehended the wrong state of the Tyrannical Dao.
"The Divine Firmament Sect's Shangguan Lei is not skilled enough. Men, send off the guest!"
An Elder of the Purple Flame Sect stepped forward expressionlessly, not showing any pity for Shangguan Lei.
The words "not skilled enough" were rather mocking.
