In the end, the other party acted as though they were wronged. They wanted the two of them to explain themselves. If they could not explain themselves, they would teach them a lesson. This was simply the logic of a bandit. It was inhumane and unreasonable.
However, in this world, Xiao Chen no longer held any hope of using reason to resolve things. In this world where human lives were as cheap as ants, the one with the strongest fist was the true reason.
Right now, the Shi Clan's fist was harder. The other party was right. The surrounding cultivators who witnessed the incident remained silent. No one spoke up for Xiao Chen. This was a typical example.
Xiao Chen's expression was incomparably calm. He enunciated every word clearly, "I was the one who injured Shi Feng. If you want to make a move, then cut the crap. As long as you are not afraid of bringing a calamity upon your Shi Clan, come and fight!"
In this world, it was easy for a cultivator to live. However, there were not many who could live with dignity.
Xiao Chen had always believed that a cultivator did not have to reveal their sharpness. However, they had to have a spirit. No matter what, this spirit could not be lost.
One could not be arrogant, but one had to have a lofty character. This was the principle behind it.
If Xiao Chen had sullenly explained and apologized, the other party would not dare to do anything to them because of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion's position.
However, this way, once there was a compromise, there would be a second compromise. In the end, the spirit of a cultivator would be completely gone.
If a cultivator lost their spirit, no matter how talented they were, they would not have the chance to reach the peak of cultivation in the future.
At this moment, Xiao Chen did not hide his sharpness. His aura flourished and his killing intent was revealed. He was like a treasured saber drawn from its scabbard.
The treasured saber was incomparably sharp. It pierced through the air, frightening people.
The boundless clouds in the sky suddenly gathered and churned. Muffled rumbles came from within; the momentum of the lightning had been formed.
"What's going on? Why did the sky turn so dark?"
The surrounding cultivators suddenly discovered that the dark clouds above their heads had already covered the dazzling sunlight. The sky suddenly turned dark.
"This is the state of thunder. I did not expect this brat to comprehend it to such a high level at such a young age. He can already affect the power of thunder."
"This is the sign of a state reaching Small Perfection. I once saw it on an Inferior Grade Martial King. Without a certain level of comprehension, normal people would not be able to comprehend it in their lifetime."
"However, a Small Perfection state of thunder is not a match for the Shi Clan's Fourth Elder. This old man was already a peak Martial Saint many years ago. Although he was not a Martial King yet, there were few who were a match for him within the Martial Saint realm."
When the Shi Clan's Fourth Elder saw Xiao Chen's aura, he could not stop.
In the confrontation between the younger generation of the various major forces, the older generation tacitly chose to remain silent. As long as no one was killed, they wouldn't take action.
Originally, the upper echelon of the Shi Clan did not intend to make a move. However, they heard that Shi Feng had been thrown into the streets by the Heavenly Saber Pavilion's people.
As one of the three noble clans, the Shi Clan's Clan Head felt embarrassed. If news of this spread, the Shi Clan's reputation in Xihe City would be tarnished.
This was why the Shi Clan's Fourth Elder brought people to settle this matter. As long as the other party was willing to apologize and admit his mistake, they would let this matter go.
However, the Shi Clan Head did not expect Xiao Chen to be so unyielding. He did not even bother to explain himself. At this moment, in front of everyone, the Shi Clan Head was stuck between a rock and a hard place. He did not know what to do.
After a while, the Shi Clan Head knew that if he retreated now, he would not be able to face anyone.
He made up his mind and said coldly, "You are just an insignificant junior and you dare to be so arrogant. I will teach you a lesson today."
The Shi Clan Head flipped his hand and drew his sword. He sent out a sharp sword Qi at Xiao Chen. This sword Qi was much sharper than a regular sword Qi. It silently tore through the water-like air.
A clap of thunder resounded in the sky. Xiao Chen sent out a similar Qi. A purple saber Qi moved like lightning and clashed with the sword Qi that the Shi Clan Head sent out.
"Dang!"
The sword Qi and saber Qi did not give way to each other. They clashed intensely in the air. The state of thunder that Xiao Chen infused into the saber Qi flickered with resplendent electricity, giving off a 'zi zi' sound.
Relying on the advantage of the state, Xiao Chen's saber Qi managed to fight to a draw with the extremely dense sword Qi of the Shi Clan Head.
The Shi Clan Head was mildly startled. He smiled faintly and said, "Without a state to Great Perfection, it is just an unorthodox method. I will take you down in ten moves!"
After the Shi Clan Head spoke, he took a big step forward and swung his sword upwards. Sharp stone spikes immediately shot out from the ground and headed for Xiao Chen.
Each stone spike was about two meters long and incredibly sharp. If one was struck by it, even if they were not severely injured, they would at least be skinned alive. The speed at which the stone spikes extended was very fast. In the blink of an eye, they arrived before Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen gauged the height of the stone spikes; they were only two meters long. Although they extended for a long distance, as long as he used the Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art, he would be able to leap over them easily.
Xiao Chen pushed off the ground and leaped into the air. He scattered the state of thunder and launched himself at the Shi Clan Head's Fourth Elder.
Seeing Xiao Chen in the air, the Fourth Elder revealed a pleased smile. He said, "I knew you would fly into the air and not choose to retreat." "Pu ci!
Pu ci! "
The moment the Fourth Elder spoke, the stone spikes on the ground shot up and gave off ear-piercing roars. They shot at Xiao Chen. Their speed was actually close to the speed of sound.
Xiao Chen was startled; he had not expected such a change. Without much time to think, he shouted and the image of a mountain peak appeared above his head, infusing into his saber.
"Lone Peak Kill!"
When Xiao Chen chopped down, a spiraling force appeared in the air. It was like a real mountain descending from the sky with a heavy force. "Bang! Bang!
Bang! "
A loud sound rang out. The stone pillars in the air were all shattered by the force of this saber. Stone fragments danced in the air and fell to the ground like rain.
The figure of a saber pierced through the rain of stones. Everywhere he passed, he crushed all the stones into dust, filling the air with dust.
Xiao Chen's gaze was like lightning. Looking at the dust filling the air, he stabbed out with the Lunar Shadow Saber at lightning speed.
"Dang!"
It was like he struck a hard rock. The force of the saber that Xiao Chen stabbed out was deflected. He immediately lost his balance in the air and quickly fell to the ground.
Elder Shi's voice came from within the dust. He sneered, "My Inherited Martial Spirit has already reached the Large Success Realm. With your half-baked state of thunder, you want to break through my defense? That is simply a pipe dream."
"Rock Splitting Arrow!"
The Fourth Elder roared angrily. Countless azure rock patterns appeared on his sword. In the next moment, all the patterns gathered at the tip of the sword.
There was an explosive sound and a huge azure whirlpool appeared at the tip of the sword. From the center of the whirlpool, a sharp arrow made of azure rock flew out. It flew rapidly towards Xiao Chen. "Chi! Chi!
Chi! "
As the arrow pierced through the air, it gave off a piercing sonic boom. Ripples appeared in the air from the explosion. It was like countless waves appearing on a calm surface of water.
Xiao Chen slowly landed. When he saw the azure arrow flying at him, his expression remained calm.
"Everlasting Startling Cloud!"
Circulating the Essence in his body, Xiao Chen executed the state of clouds. After a while, there were large patches of clouds floating around Xiao Chen.
"Boom!" A clap of thunder resounded in the clouds. A tiny strand of purple saber Qi split apart the layers of clouds like lightning. It quickly flew towards the azure arrow.
In a flash, it was like a ray of multicolored light flying by. It was so fast that it created an illusion.
In the next moment, it was as if nothing had happened. The azure arrow that the Shi Clan's Fourth Elder fired was still giving off a piercing sonic boom in the air. It flew towards Xiao Chen. Soon, it would catch up to Xiao Chen, who was about to land.
The Fourth Elder snorted coldly, "I thought you were a powerful person. It turns out you are only so-so. Even if you kill him, the Heavenly Saber Pavilion will not stand up for you."
Seeing the azure arrow getting closer, all the cultivators present felt their hearts in their throats. They all felt that it was a pity.
At this moment, Xiao Chen no longer had any room to change his direction. He could only passively receive this attack. This was the full powered attack of a peak Martial Saint.
Even a Martial King would not dare to receive it head-on. Xiao Chen was only an Inferior Grade Martial Saint. Wanting to block this move when he landed was no different from a fool's dream. It was an impossible task.
"Hu!"
The azure arrow was already less than a meter away from Xiao Chen's face. The strong wind from the arrow made Xiao Chen's hair somewhat messy.
Xiao Chen raised the Lunar Shadow Saber in his hand and shouted, "Explode!"
The purple line, which had disappeared earlier, suddenly reappeared. The instant Xiao Chen spoke, the purple line spread out like a screen of water.
With a bang, the green arrow in front of his forehead exploded into stone fragments that filled the sky, disappearing into the air.
At the end of the line, the Shi Clan's Fourth Elder, who was in the air, had not expected Xiao Chen to have such a move.
"Pu ci!"
The Fourth Elder vomited a mouthful of blood. The clothes on his chest were blasted into nothing by the electric light. A small hole appeared on his chest, which was covered in azure rock. Blood flowed out continuously.
Although the wound was small, the electric light on it was unusually strong. It crackled non-stop, preventing the wound from healing.
The purple electricity in the air moved about chaotically. Occasionally, some of the electricity would accidentally fall to the ground and explode a huge pit.
Xiao Chen stomped on the ground. His body was not injured at all as he landed firmly. With a flip of his palm, the remnant electricity in the air all gathered in his palm.
It formed a ball of blazing purple lightning-fire. With a toss, the purple lightning-fire quickly flew towards the Shi Clan's Fourth Elder.
The Shi Clan's chest was injured, so he could not dodge in time. He could only toss aside the sword in his hand and draw a circle with his hands, condensing an azure whirlpool.
"Bang!"
The lightning-fire and the whirlpool collided, giving off a loud sound. A strange energy came from the whirlpool, sucking in the horrifying lightning-fire strand by strand.
The Shi Clan's Fourth Elder scattered the whirlpool in his hand and fell to the ground with a pale complexion. Blood continued to pour out of the wound on his chest.
"Damn it! I underestimated this brat's state of thunder. If I had expended a little more Essence, I would have been able to block his earlier attack," the Shi Clan's Fourth Elder said hatefully.
