The sword in Mu Chengxue's hand was firmly grasped, and he was unable to dodge this strike. His body turned into gentle moonlight as he was struck by the saber, disappearing into the air.
The strange space disappeared, and the strong wind dissipated. Mu Chengxue landed on the ground with a pale complexion. The small world he created using his Holy Weapon had been destroyed by Xiao Chen, and he had suffered quite a bit of backlash.
After suffering a loss at the hands of Xiao Chen in front of so many people, Mu Chengxue's face was very gloomy.
"Die! Nine Flashes Sword!"
Mu Chengxue roared angrily, and the strong wind and lightning appeared again. The Holy Weapon, Moonlight Beauty, reappeared in his hand. Using the force of the strong wind, he quickly appeared in front of Xiao Chen.
Layers of golden light appeared on the blade of the sword, changing continuously. Xiao Chen was surrounded by sword images.
There was clearly only one strike, but it came from nine different directions. It made it hard to tell if it was the real body or an illusion, or if it was all the real body.
Xiao Chen shouted, "Lone Peak Fatal Blow!"
An illusion of a mountain rose from the ground. In the past, the illusion of a mountain would descend from the sky. However, in order to deal with the current situation, Xiao Chen used this move in reverse.
"Roaming Dragon's Nine Transformations!"
The instant the Lone Peak Fatal Blow was executed, Xiao Chen quickly circulated his Essence and executed the Roaming Dragon's Nine Transformations in an extremely short period of time.
In an instant, the illusion of nine mountains appeared in the sky. The mountains overlapped, and it was impossible to tell which was the real one. "Dang!
Dang! Dang! "
Nine metallic clangs rang out at the same time. In the next moment, the figures of the mountains and Mu Chengxue merged together. The two of them shouted loudly, and their auras were incomparably ferocious as they exchanged another move.
Two bolts of lightning streaked across the sky at the same time, illuminating the gloomy sky like the sun. After a while, there were two roars of thunder, and the two of them retreated nine steps.
"Ka Ca!"
Mu Chengxue sheathed his sword, and the beauty of the Moonlight Beauty immediately disappeared. He said indifferently, "You may leave!"
Xiao Chen's expression remained incomparably calm; there were no fluctuations at all. He sheathed the Lunar Shadow Saber and slowly walked forward.
The two of them were equally matched. If they didn't bring out their true abilities, they wouldn't be able to determine the victor even after exchanging a hundred blows.
It was obvious that the two of them would not use their trump cards in public. Doing so would only expose some of their trump cards.
"Who exactly is this person? He actually managed to fight Mu Chengxue to a draw. Since when did such a young expert appear in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion?"
"I remember now. Three days ago, he was also the one who injured the second son of the Shi family. Even the fourth elder of the Shi family couldn't do anything to him."
"So it's him. He's really daring with so many people. Mu Chengxue and the Shi clan are not to be trifled with."
"He just used the Qingyun Secret Technique. He must be from Qingyun Peak. He must be a disciple of Qingyun Peak. However, I heard that Qingfeng has been in decline for many years."
"However, this person is really low-profile. He did not even leave behind a name. He managed to fight to a draw with Mu Chengxue. At the very least, he will be famous in the Xihe Province."
When the surrounding cultivators saw that Xiao Chen was not at a disadvantage against Mu Chengxue, they were all astonished.
A Night Spirit Palace disciple walked over to Mu Chengxue's side. He asked in confusion, "First Senior Brother, why did you let him go?"
In the boundless void in the depths of Mu Chengxue's right eye, the copper mirror shone with a faint light. It was as though it could see through everything in the world.
Xiao Chen's true appearance was imprinted on the copper mirror. Mu Chengxue memorized this appearance in his heart. A murderous intent appeared in his eyes as he smiled faintly, "The higher a person flies, the more painful the fall will be. Let him fly for a while longer."
In the Yun Residence of Xihe City, after Xiao Chen ended his fight with Mu Chengxue, he immediately rushed to the Yun Residence to look for Liu Suifeng.
Xiao Chen said, "Suifeng, you should go back alone this time. Go through the Devil Savanna with the Yun Residence's merchant group. There should not be any danger."
Liu Suifeng felt it was strange, so he asked, "Why? Is there something else?"
Xiao Chen looked up at the boundless sky. During his fight with Mu Chengxue earlier, he felt that indistinct killing intent again.
This proved that the mysterious cultivator who followed the two of them through the Devil Savanna was still very patient.
Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze and nodded, "That person's target is me. There should be no problem for you to go alone. I have decided to stay with the Yun Clan for a while longer."
Liu Suifeng thought for a while and said, "In that case, be careful. When necessary, don't go all out."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "I do not fear this person at all. I just want to cultivate for a while longer and capture him completely. I just want to know who the person behind him is."
Liu Suifeng did not say anything more. After he communicated with the Yun Clan, he left Xihe City with the Yun Clan's merchant group in the afternoon.
As for Xiao Chen, he asked for a quiet courtyard from the Yun Clan. This was something that Yun Youji could not ask for more.
Along the way, Yun Youji had heard about the fight between Xiao Chen and Mu Chengxue. Being able to fight Mu Chengxue to a draw made him value Xiao Chen's potential even more.
Late at night, the full moon hung quietly in the sky like a plate.
In the bedroom, Xiao Chen sat cross-legged on the bed. He took out two Quintessence Gathering Pills and poured them out.
When a cultivator below Martial Monarch consumed the Quintessence Gathering Pill, their chances of breaking through would increase by at least twenty percent. The lower their cultivation, the higher the chances.
Right now, Xiao Chen was only an Inferior Grade Martial Saint. One Quintessence Gathering Pill could increase his chances of breaking through by forty percent. Two would be eighty percent. In addition to his own accumulations, breaking through to Medial Grade Martial Saint should not be a problem.
Xiao Chen placed the two Quintessence Gathering Pills in his mouth. The pills melted in his mouth and turned into a refreshing liquid. It flowed down his throat and into his blood vessels, merging with his blood.
Xiao Chen slowly circulated the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation to speed up the absorption of the Quintessence. After the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation completed a small cycle, he completely absorbed the Medicinal Energy of the two Quintessence Gathering Pills.
"Bang!"
In the Qi whirlpool in his dantian, Xiao Chen felt a strong energy gush out. The crystalline purple Qi whirlpool started spinning frantically.
Is this the strength of the Quintessence Gathering Pill? Xiao Chen thought to himself, How horrifying! This is almost as much energy as I can absorb in a month.
Although the strong energy was very berserk, it was maintained at a certain level. It continuously tested the limits of what Xiao Chen could endure. This way, it ensured that Xiao Chen could break through safely.
It was like a bottle containing water. Xiao Chen's body was the bottle and the Essence in his body was the water in the bottle.
If Xiao Chen wanted to break through, he had to increase the volume and quality of the water, making the bottle bigger.
This was a very dangerous process. However, the Quintessence Gathering Pill gave Xiao Chen's energy a formless and gentle barrier. It could ensure that the bottle would not be forcefully broken by Xiao Chen.
With the protection of the Quintessence Gathering Pill, Xiao Chen circulated the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation without any worries. The pure lightning-attributed Essence of heaven and earth flowed into Xiao Chen's body like water.
The room was filled with a purple light. Xiao Chen's heart was as calm as water, like an ancient well.
One great cycle passed … two great cycles passed … In the end, the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation circulated a total of 72 great cycles.
"Bang!"
A crisp sound came from Xiao Chen's body. The original bottle suddenly shattered. After a while, it formed a new bottle. The quantity and quality of the Essence in the bottle had increased by twenty percent.
Xiao Chen opened his eyes and two purple lights flashed. He looked at the remnant purple energy in the room and said excitedly, "I did it! It was worth spending so many Spirit Stones to buy the Quintessence Gathering Pill. It is really effective."
"Hu Chi!"
Xiao Chen waved his hand and the remnant lightning-attributed energy in the room immediately formed a purple whirlpool. With a 'shua' sound, it all flew into Xiao Chen's right hand.
Xiao Chen's right hand immediately turned crystal clear, giving off the color of glass. With a thought, a strand of purple flame appeared on Xiao Chen's index finger, spinning continuously.
"Sou!"
Xiao Chen flicked his finger gently and the purple flame crashed into the wooden table in the room. The wooden table did not give off any sound and immediately turned into a pile of dust.
Xiao Chen got up and muttered, "Now that I am a Medial Grade Martial Saint, even a regular Inferior Grade Martial Saint would not dare to receive a casual strike from the Purple Thunder True Fire. This can be considered one of my trump cards.
"I should go out and test out the Magic Treasures that I obtained from the auction first. Later, when my Essence is completely stable, I can use the Medial Grade Spirit Stones."
When Xiao Chen pushed open the door, sunlight immediately shone in. He squinted his eyes and said softly, "It is actually noon already. Indeed, there is no concept of time when cultivating."
Xiao Chen shook his head and went out to wash up. Then, he entered the courtyard feeling refreshed. He took out the Windwalk Shoes from the Universe Ring and put them on.
The instant Xiao Chen put on the Windwalk Shoes, he immediately felt a strange energy flow through the meridians in his feet and quickly connected with his mind.
With a thought, he could use the Windwalk Shoes immediately. Looking at the Windwalk Shoes, Xiao Chen smiled gently, "I did not expect a complete Secret Treasure to be so convenient to use. The formation markings in it are definitely not damaged at all.
"Let's not think about this for now. Let's test out the speed of the Windwalk Shoes first. Let's see how fast it is!"
Xiao Chen looked around the courtyard and quickly circulated the Essence in his body for the Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art. In the next instant, he turned into a beam of purple light and ran quickly around the courtyard.
"Pu ci!
Pu ci! "Xiao Chen raised his speed to the limits of his body. At this moment, his speed was infinitely close to the speed of sound. His body gave off an ear-piercing sound of friction with the air.
The air was like a calm surface of water. With the sound of the explosion, the surface of the water rippled continuously, forming a horrifying shockwave.
Immediately, a strong wind blew in the courtyard. The sand billowed and the small trees fell to the side. It looked like they would be uprooted at any moment.
Xiao Chen thought to himself, The Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art is the exclusive Movement Technique of the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit. It is at least Medial Grade Heaven Ranked.
I cultivated it to Small Perfection long ago. Unfortunately, I could not break through the bottleneck after that. As a result, my speed has been stuck in the middle, unable to reach the speed of sound.
Let's see if the speed of the Windwalk Shoes can help me make a breakthrough. With a thought, the formation markings in the Windwalk Shoes immediately activated.
In the next moment, Xiao Chen felt his body lighten. The ear-piercing sound of the explosion disappeared and the strong wind in the courtyard subsided.
