Seeing the black-clothed man chasing after him, Xiao Chen felt very depressed. Within a week, he had been chased by a Martial Grand Master twice. This was too tragic.
However, this time, he did not exhaust much Essence. If he wanted to shake off his pursuers, it would be easy. All he had to do was to continuously use the Lightning Evasion.
However, he could not do this now. If he disappeared in an instant, he was afraid that the black-clothed man would turn back to find trouble with Xiao Yulan. That would not be worth it. Thus, he could only run and stop, continuously leading the black-clothed man into the inner regions of Seven Horn Mountain.
Just as Xiao Chen was about to use the Lightning Evasion again, the sounds of fighting came from behind him. A bad feeling arose in his heart. He released his Spiritual Sense and immediately saw Cousin Yulan fighting with the black-clothed man.
After so much effort and planning, he did not expect Cousin Yulan to still follow him. Xiao Chen smiled bitterly in his heart. This time, there is no way to avoid it. Since it is like this, then I will just have to fight!
A resolute look appeared in Xiao Chen's eyes. He quickly turned around and rushed over. Is a Martial Grand Master really undefeatable?
I hope nothing happens to Cousin Yulan.
Thinking of this, when Xiao Chen rushed over, he discovered a trace of blood at the corner of Xiao Yulan's mouth. Her complexion was pale as she held her sword and stood in her original spot.
The black-clothed man revealed an impatient expression. After he repelled Xiao Yulan once again, he wanted to turn around and leave. His heart was tied to the Spirit Blood Jade, and he was not in the mood to fight with Xiao Yulan.
Xiao Yulan wiped off the blood at the corner of her mouth. She held the Broken Moon Sword and looked at the black-clothed man with a resolute gaze. She did her best to send out a red sword light at the black-clothed man.
The black-clothed man waved his hand and the huge man-eating flower appeared once again. It opened its mouth and swallowed the red sword light. This person's Martial Spirit was Xiao Yulan's nemesis.
"You are seeking death. Don't blame me." The black-clothed man snorted coldly and quickly moved forward. He had already lost his patience with Xiao Yulan and wanted to kill her.
Boom!
A bolt of lightning flashed by, and Xiao Chen's figure suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Yulan. That black clothed man was startled by the sudden appearance of Xiao Chen and retreated a few steps back.
"Cousin Xiao Chen, you … why are you here?" A look of doubt appeared on Xiao Yulan's pale face. It was clear that Xiao Chen, who appeared with the lightning, was beyond her comprehension.
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly and did not answer Xiao Yulan's question. Instead, he took out a Qi Returning Pill and handed it to her, "I thought that Cousin would not chase after me. Although this Qi Returning Pill cannot treat injuries, it can quickly recover your Essence. It should be of some help."
Xiao Yulan received the Qi Returning Pill from Xiao Chen. The confusion on her face became even more apparent. How could Cousin Xiao Chen have such a strange Martial Technique?
And where did this Medicinal Pill come from?
Xiao Chen could roughly guess what Xiao Yulan was thinking. However, this was not the time to explain. He said, "After this, if I am still alive, I will explain to you. For now, let me borrow your Breaking Water Sword."
Without any hesitation, Xiao Yulan handed the sword to Xiao Chen. Although she knew that Xiao Chen was hiding something from her, she still trusted Xiao Chen a lot.
He was willing to be the bait for her and give up the chance to escape. Even if he had a secret to hide from her, it was because he had no other choice.
"Cousin Xiao Chen, you … be careful," Xiao Yulan said worriedly when she saw Xiao Chen pointing his sword at the black-clothed man.
Xiao Chen gently waved his hand and did not turn his head. He casually waved the Breaking Water Sword a few times and a pure line of energy came out from the Spirit Weapon. Very quickly, it established a strange connection with the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit in his body.
The Breaking Water Sword was worthy of being an Inferior Grade Profound Ranked Spirit Weapon. Xiao Chen could clearly feel that the energy coming from the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit was much stronger than the Lunar Shadow Saber.
Seeing Xiao Chen brandishing the Spirit Weapon, the black-clothed man felt that there was a different aura coming from Xiao Chen's body. This aura carried layers of might, causing him to feel a faint pressure.
Is this person really just an Inferior Grade Martial Disciple? A trace of doubt flashed in the black-clothed man's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. The light in his eyes became sharp once again as he said coldly, "I will still say the same thing. Little friend, hand over the Spirit Blood Jade and I will leave this place immediately. You and the girl behind you have a bright future ahead of you, there is no need to die here."
Xiao Chen, who was holding the Breaking Water Sword, had a calm expression on his face. He smiled and said, "Don't have such thoughts. I will not give you this Spirit Blood Jade."
"Let's not talk about whether or not you will keep your word. This Spirit Blood Jade was something that I risked my life to obtain. Furthermore, I even lost a Spirit Weapon. How can I casually hand this Spirit Blood Jade over to you?"
The black-clothed man's face was covered with a cloth, so Xiao Chen could not see his expression. He said in a deep voice, "As long as you are willing to hand it over, I can immediately compensate you with a Profound Ranked Spirit Weapon. It is not inferior to the one in your hand."
Was this Spirit Blood Jade really that useful? It was actually worth him using a Profound Ranked Spirit Weapon to exchange for it? Could it be that what they wanted to seal was not a Rank 5 Spirit Beast?
There were some doubts in his heart, but Xiao Chen's expression did not change. He smiled indifferently, "Let me think about it. In a situation where you have the absolute advantage, why are you still willing to give me such generous conditions to exchange with me?"
"You are afraid of fighting with us and exhausting too much Essence. If you are discovered by the Xiao Clan's guards, it would be difficult for you to escape, right?"
When the black-clothed man heard Xiao Chen's intentions, a gleam appeared in his eyes. He said sternly, "Since you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, then don't blame me."
With a 'ceng' sound, the black-clothed man took out a two-meter long sword from an unknown place. This sword could be the Profound Ranked Spirit Weapon that he was prepared to give to Xiao Chen as compensation.
Xiao Chen had never seen such a long sword before. For a moment, he was somewhat astonished. There was a flash of sword light, and the black-clothed man had already closed in.
The sword, which should have been ethereal and agile, was used by the black-clothed man in an incomparably tyrannical manner. It was like a saber, chopping, chopping, and chopping. Together with the two-meter long sword, its might was unfathomable.
Xiao Chen was not proficient with weapons, much less sword techniques. He could only rely on the strong strength of the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit and the electric glow on the sword to barely contend with the black-clothed man. Immediately, he was surrounded by perils.
"Bang!"
The two of them clashed again. A huge rebound came from the sword, causing Xiao Chen's body to be knocked back a few meters. The Essence in his body was fluctuating. The inner strength in the sword was wreaking havoc in his body; he had probably suffered significant internal injuries.
The black-clothed man was not in a good state either. Every time the strong strength of the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit and the strange electric glow on the sword clashed, he would feel his palms go numb.
If it were not for the difference in their cultivation realms, the sword in his hand would have been knocked away long ago.
Doing his best to suppress the injuries in his body, Xiao Chen flicked his finger. A purple flame spun a few rounds on his fingertip before shooting at the black-clothed man with a 'sou' sound.
The black-clothed man brandished his sword light. When the sword met the flame, there was a loud explosion. After the explosion, the purple flame actually did not extinguish.
It soared to the body of the sword and started burning from top to bottom. Soon, it reached the sword hilt. A trace of astonishment flashed in the black-clothed man's eyes. Then, before the purple flame could reach the sword hilt, he decisively stabbed the sword into the ground.
"Now is the time, Divine Thunder Break!"
Xiao Chen quickly switched the Breaking Moon Sword to his left hand. The Purple Thunder Divine Incantation circulated quickly in his body, and pure lightning-attributed energy surged out of his right hand.
It formed a resplendent electric light in the air, shooting at the black-clothed man. Although this Divine Thunder Break was only an Inferior Grade Yellow Ranked Martial Technique, its speed was much faster than a regular Profound Ranked Martial Technique. When the black-clothed man lowered his sword, he should not have had the opportunity to dodge.
"Pu Chi!"
The resplendent electric light struck the black-clothed man's body. In an instant, the black-clothed man's body lit up. The crackling electric light flickered unceasingly, as though he was a man made of electricity.
Xiao Chen was astonished. He did not know what Martial Technique this black-clothed man used, but he actually turned his Essence into a veil, covering his entire body with it, blocking out the might of the Divine Thunder Break.
"Kill!"
The black-clothed man shouted loudly. He raised the sword that was still burning, and his body shot out explosively. Before Xiao Chen could react, a fiery light had already appeared in front of him.
"Heavenly Lightning Shield!"
The sword that was enveloped by the Purple Thunder True Fire struck the Heavenly Lightning Shield violently. The huge force passed through the Heavenly Lightning Shield and weakened significantly. Xiao Chen, who was within the shield, still vomited a mouthful of blood. It could be seen how powerful this sword was.
"This old man has never been forced into such a state by an Inferior Grade Martial Disciple in my entire life. Xiao Chen, you are the first." The black-clothed man seemed to have gone berserk. He raised the flaming sword and continuously struck the Heavenly Lightning Shield.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang … "
Every time the large sword struck, the Qi and blood in Xiao Chen's body surged even more violently. The color of his face slowly disappeared, becoming incomparably pale.
Xiao Yulan, who had already recovered some of her Qi, saw that Xiao Chen was in a dangerous situation. She ignored her own injuries and rushed forward, sending a palm strike at the black-clothed man.
However, the black-clothed man's entire body was covered in a veil made of Essence. It could even block the Divine Thunder Break. Xiao Yulan's palm strike was useless against it. The black-clothed man turned around and sent Xiao Yulan flying with his sword.
"Bastard!" Xiao Chen cried out in pain. He tossed the Heavenly Lightning Shield aside and executed the Lightning Evasion to catch Xiao Yulan, who was sent flying.
"Cousin Xiao Chen, my earlier palm strike had already infused the poison of Poinsettia into his body. As long as I leave a wound on his body, it would be enough to claim his life," Xiao Yulan said weakly as she collapsed in Xiao Chen's embrace.
The black-clothed man laughed loudly, "How naive. Did you think that by infusing the poison of Poinsettia into my body, you would be able to kill me? Don't forget what my Martial Spirit is. There is no poison in this world that can kill me. "
Hearing these words, Xiao Yulan's pale face became even more desperate.
Xiao Chen grasped his sword tightly, his heart trembling non-stop. If I were stronger, this situation would not have happened. To think that a girl would risk her life for me and suffer such injuries.
"Today, no matter who from your Xiao Clan comes, the two of you will die. Refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. This is your fate," the black-clothed man said insolently.
"Is that so?"
A cold snort suddenly came from the forest. Xiao Chen released his Spiritual Sense, but he did not discover the figure of this person. The true body of this person was actually eight hundred meters away.
