Xiao Chen raised his head and looked at the sky. The sun was setting in the west, and the sky was red. It was already dusk. He stood up and smiled bitterly, "I can't chat anymore, I have to go. If there is an opportunity in the future, let's drink to our heart's content."
The sky was as red as fire. Because she had drunk too much, Yun Kexin's delicate face also had a tinge of red. It complemented the setting sun, making her look even more beautiful than the setting sun.
Yun Kexin stood up and performed a cupped-fist salute, "Take care, we will meet again in the future!"
Xiao Chen nodded his head, then he turned around and left his courtyard, heading towards the main gate of the Yun Residence. The setting sun was like blood, dying his back a bright red, leaving a long shadow on the ground.
Yun Kexin sent off Xiao Chen with her eyes. She only withdrew her gaze after he disappeared from her vision for a long time.
After Xiao Chen left the Yun Residence, he immediately headed out of the city. He was prepared to rush to the port of the Black Dragon River before the sky turned dark.
Along the way, Xiao Chen executed the Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art. His body moved like a flood dragon on the road. His speed was much faster than the Dragon Blood Horse.
When the sun completely set, Xiao Chen finally arrived at the port. The port was brightly lit; it was filled with large cargo ships waiting to set sail.
Xiao Chen looked around and casually found a merchant ship. After he stated his purpose and paid, he successfully boarded the ship.
The deck was filled with cultivators preparing to cross the river. Xiao Chen found an empty spot and sat down cross-legged. Soon, he entered a state of cultivation and slowly circulated the Dragon and Tiger Body Sculpting Art.
The night passed by silently. When the sky brightened the next day, the merchant ship had already quietly set sail, traveling on the vast and boundless Black Dragon River.
"Did you hear? The Xihe Twin Fiends were killed by someone. Their bodies were chopped in half, and they died without a complete corpse."
"That's impossible. The Xihe Twin Fiends were Inferior Grade Martial Kings. They had roamed the Xihe Province for so many years and had been surrounded several times. However, they always managed to escape unscathed. How could they be killed without a complete corpse?"
"I heard about this as well. Someone personally saw their corpses lying on the Devil Savanna. Eventually, they were eaten by wolves. However, I do not know who did it."
"Hehe, I know who did it. At that time, I saw it with my own eyes. These two people failed miserably. They blocked the Misty Sword Sect's Chu Chaoyun, wanting him to hand over the Superior Grade Spirit Stones from the auction. In the end, Chu Chaoyun single-handedly killed them and took away all their belongings. "
Early in the morning, the deck slowly became lively. A group of cultivators talked about the recent hot topics. When Xiao Chen heard that it was related to Chu Chaoyun, he could not help but listen carefully.
"Isn't Chu Chaoyun only a peak Superior Grade Martial Saint? How could he fight against two Inferior Grade Martial Kings at the same time? Even if he won, it would be very difficult. "
The first person sneered and said, "Hard work? Don't joke around, it was a one-sided slaughter. Especially after Chu Chaoyun used his Saint Weapon, the two of them didn't even have the chance to run before they were cut in half. "
"That's impossible!"
"I saw it with my own eyes. It is definitely true. At that time, there was a group of bandits on the Devil Savanna. They were the helpers of the Xihe Twin Bandit Kings. However, when they saw the situation, they fled in fright."
Everyone on the deck took a deep breath. They had not expected Chu Chaoyun to be so strong. Killing Inferior Grade Martial Kings was as easy as killing dogs.
The rising sun leaped out from the east and instantly illuminated the entire river, turning it fiery red. As Xiao Chen watched the rising sun, he revealed a grave expression.
He muttered, "Chu Chaoyun is like this rising sun. The instant he makes a move, it can pierce through the darkness of dawn. He is incomparably strong. He once defeated me in one move. If I cannot defeat him in the future, it might leave an eternal shadow in my heart. "
Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze and thought back to his fight with Chu Chaoyun. When he thought about it carefully, he realized that Chu Chaoyun had only used half a move to defeat him.
This was because Chu Chaoyun had not fully drawn out that Holy Weapon. That was the most miserable battle that Xiao Chen had experienced since he made his debut. It could be said to be a heart demon.
If Xiao Chen did not get rid of this heart demon, he would face a huge bottleneck sooner or later. Hence, a battle between him and Chu Chaoyun was inevitable.
The cultivators on the ship were still discussing Chu Chaoyun. Xiao Chen walked to a quiet place and looked at the vast and boundless Black Dragon River.
"Little Brother, are you a disciple of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion?" As Xiao Chen looked into the distance, someone came over and greeted him.
Xiao Chen turned his head and discovered it was a middle-aged man about forty years old. He was an early Medial Grade Martial Saint. He wore azure robes and carried a large saber on his back.
Xiao Chen nodded and said, "En, I am a Qingyun Peak disciple. Why are you looking for me?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Nothing much. My son is a Heavenly Saber Pavilion disciple as well. I am going to the Heavenly Saber Pavilion this time as well. The journey is long, it would be good to find a companion to chat with."
When Xiao Chen heard this, his expression relaxed. He smiled warmly and said, "I wonder, what is your son's name? Perhaps I might know him."
The middle-aged man revealed a proud expression as he said, "My son is Gao Xiang, a Gangyu Peak disciple. He passed the test last year and is already a core disciple. I believe his cultivation has already surpassed mine."
Gangyu Peak, Gao Xiang!
Xiao Chen was mildly startled in his heart. However, his expression did not change as he said, "I know Gao Xiang. He was already a Medial Grade Martial Saint long ago. I wonder why Uncle is looking for him?"
When the middle-aged man heard Xiao Chen say he knew Gao Xiang, he immediately revealed a joyful smile. He said, "So, you are friends with my son. What is Little Brother's name? It looks like this brat's abilities have already surpassed mine. It was not in vain that I spent a large sum of Spirit Stones to send him into the Heavenly Saber Pavilion.
"That's right, what is my son doing now? He has not returned for a long time already. He has not written a letter either. This time, I am going to the Dongming Province. Coincidentally, I passed by the Heavenly Saber Pavilion and wanted to take a look."
Xiao Chen's heart tightened. He did not know how to answer this question. He had seen Gao Xiang die in front of him. However, when he saw the smile on the middle-aged man's face, he could not bear to tell the truth.
Perhaps it was as Yun Kexin said, there were no longer any true bladesmen in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. No matter how many reasons there were, they should not send their own disciples to their deaths.
The anger in the hearts of the entire upper echelon of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion had already vanished.
After hesitating for a while, Xiao Chen said, "I am Ye Chen. However, Uncle, you might have made a wasted trip. Gao Xiang went out for experiential training two months ago. He probably will not be back until the end of the year."
A look of disappointment flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes. He said, "In that case, never mind. It is not easy to enter the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. Thank you, Little Brother."
Xiao Chen squeezed out a smile with much difficulty. He did his best to maintain a natural appearance and said, "It is just a small matter, there is no need to be so polite."
"Quick, look! What is that?!"
Suddenly, someone on the deck cried out. Everyone quickly stopped talking and looked over. They saw a huge black figure quickly approaching the merchant ship on the river a thousand meters away.
In the next moment, the surface of the river started to fluctuate violently. A huge waterspout surged over.
"It's a Black Tuna Whale, a peak Rank 6 Spirit Beast. It is equivalent to an Inferior Grade Martial King."
"Why are we so unlucky? We only traveled such a short distance and we already met the Black Tuna Whale. We are finished."
When the people on the deck recognized the Black Tuna Whale, they immediately panicked.
When Xiao Chen saw the Black Tuna Whale, he was stunned at first. Then, he smiled and said, "This is really fate. I managed to meet it again and again. Since you are here this time, don't think about leaving!"
"Little Brother, what are you doing? Don't be rash!" Gao Xiang's father shouted when he saw Xiao Chen rush up to the deck.
"The youths nowadays are really reckless. They even dare to clash head-on with the Black Tuna Whale." When the crowd saw Xiao Chen soar into the air, they all mocked him.
Xiao Chen, who was in the air, had a calm expression. He ignored the mocking words of the people on the deck. He looked at the two-hundred-meter-tall waterspout without any fear. His speed increased again.
"Rumble …!"
Boundless clouds surged over from the horizon. The clear sky suddenly turned dark. Muffled sounds came from the clouds. Xiao Chen's state of thunder rose continuously.
"Drawing the Saber!"
When his aura reached its peak, Xiao Chen shouted. A dazzling bolt of lightning tore through the sky, creating a purple waterspout.
Xiao Chen drew the Lunar Shadow Saber in his hand and appeared at the same time as the bolt of lightning. While he was in the air, he carried a boundless aura. Using the might of the supreme thunder, he hacked down on the saber.
A magnificent saber light lit up in the dark sky. With a 'shua' sound, the saber light chopped the horrifying waterspout in half.
The terrifying waterspout immediately dispersed and turned into a sky full of rainwater. The rainwater fell onto the deck, drenching the cultivators on the deck.
When the people below saw Xiao Chen hack apart the waterspout with his saber, they were shocked speechless for a long time. The people who said that Xiao Chen was reckless all had unnatural expressions on their faces.
"Small Perfection state of thunder. I remember who he is now. He is the Qingyun Peak disciple from the Heavenly Saber Pavilion who fought Mu Chengxue to a draw."
"So, it is him. Since when did such a strong disciple appear in Qingyun Peak? I only remember that there was a Murong Chong in the past. However, he already left Qingyun Peak. What is this person called?"
Someone on the deck finally recognized Xiao Chen. They were all astonished. Gao Xiang's father smiled and said, "This person is called Ye Chen. He is my son's friend."
"Ye Chen … I have never heard of this name before. He should be a new young expert. It looks like the second Murong Chong of our Xihe Province is going to rise up."
Xiao Chen's figure flashed in the air and landed firmly on the water surface. Half a month ago:
Half a month ago, when Xiao Chen faced the weakened waterspout, he could use his physical body to shatter it. Now that he was a Medial Grade Martial Saint, it was not strange for him to hack apart the waterspout with his saber.
The Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art circulated. Xiao Chen kicked up a huge wave on the water surface as he charged at the Black Tuna Whale in the distance.
From afar, it looked like he was flying on the water surface like a water dragon.
"Hu chi!"
When the huge Black Tuna Whale saw Xiao Chen rushing over quickly, it roared angrily in the water. Countless water swords immediately condensed on the water surface and shot at Xiao Chen.
The water swords contained a horrifying energy. They gave off a 'zi zi' sound as they moved through the air. They were incredibly fast.
Xiao Chen grasped the Lunar Shadow Saber and leaped continuously on the water surface. When he faced the water swords flying at him, he sent out a purple saber Qi to protect himself.
