As for states, there was no need to even mention them. The vast state of thunder infused with Holy Might and the state of massacre, which was above ordinary states, completely suppressed the other party.
With Xiao Chen's current strength, aside from the peak geniuses of some sects, he would be undefeatable. As long as a half-step Martial Monarch did not appear, Xiao Chen would be undefeatable within the Martial King realm.
Collecting his thoughts, Xiao Chen opened Yang Wen's spatial ring and scanned it with his Spiritual Sense. He counted more than twenty thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones and five thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones.
It looked like this person had gained a lot on Qianren Island. Five thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones was not a small sum. However, all of this now belonged to Xiao Chen.
After Xiao Chen put away the Spirit Stones, he fixed his gaze on Wu Shangxuan's spatial ring.
This person was ruthless and crafty. In the main hall of Qianren Island, at least eighty treasure seekers had died at his hands.
When Xiao Chen thought of the dozens of bloody corpses at the entrance, he felt a chill in his heart.
I wonder how many things are in Wu Shangxuan's spatial ring. Xiao Chen felt some anticipation as he sent in his Spiritual Sense.
"Si!"
Piles of Spirit Stones flashing with azure light dazzled Xiao Chen. Even though he had prepared himself, he had not expected this person to be so rich.
Xiao Chen did a rough count. This person had more than fifteen thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones and more than two hundred of the extremely rare Superior Grade Spirit Stones.
There were countless Inferior Grade Spirit Stones. There were also many Secret Treasures and all sorts of Martial Techniques and Cultivation Techniques. He must have obtained them from other cultivators.
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and slowly calmed himself down. He said indifferently, "Relying on the evil path is not the right path."
This person had so many resources, but he could not advance to half-step Martial Monarch. This was the best proof.
This was also a warning to Xiao Chen. If a person's heart was twisted, they would not be able to reach the peak.
The busy harbor of Green Wind Island appeared in Xiao Chen's vision. Xiao Chen placed the Spirit Stones into his Universe Ring.
He quickened his pace and rushed toward the Green Wind Island.
After setting foot on the island, Xiao Chen immediately rushed to his inn and inquired about the whereabouts of Kim Tae-ho and Su Xiaoxiao.
"Young Hero, your friend left a month ago. Before he left, he left behind a letter and asked me to give it to you." When the waiter saw Xiao Chen asking, he quickly took out a letter and handed it to him.
Since he left a month ago, it meant that Kim Tae-ho had been waiting for him for more than two months. That was enough.
Xiao Chen smiled gently and received the letter. Then, he rewarded the waiter with an Inferior Grade Spirit Stone. The waiter immediately left happily.
Opening the envelope, Xiao Chen read it carefully. After a while, Xiao Chen finished reading the contents.
There were not many words in the letter. The gist of it was that the dispute between them and the Black Dragon Triad had been settled, and both sides had taken a step back. They could not wait for him to deal with this matter for the time being.
At the end of the letter, Kim Tae-ho invited Xiao Chen to visit the Great Tang Empire when he had the time. At that time, Xiao Chen would receive him properly.
Regarding Kim Tae-ho's invitation, Xiao Chen was somewhat interested. The strongest sect in the Great Tang Empire, the Beast Taming Abode, was famous. He had wanted to go and take a look for a long time.
The Beast Taming Abode was the only sect that systematically tamed high ranked Spirit Beasts. According to rumors, they even tamed Rank 9 and Rank 10 Spirit Beasts.
The Beast Taming Abode was very famous in the entire continent. The founder, Mao Yanan, was also the only cultivator who did not have the strength of a Martial Emperor but could compete with one.
After putting away the letter, Xiao Chen called the waiter to prepare a room and hot water. After that, he took a comfortable hot bath and put on his clothes. Then, he ordered a sumptuous meal and started eating.
After living on a deserted island and in closed-door cultivation for the past three months, Xiao Chen felt somewhat bored. Now that he had taken a bath and had a sumptuous meal, he felt that it was a wonderful thing.
"Waiter, give this lord two jars of wine and five kilograms of beef. The faster, the better."
"Dong!
Dong! Dong! "Just as Xiao Chen finished eating and was about to pay the bill and leave, a stout man came up from downstairs. He was two meters tall and carried a huge axe. He looked boorish and ferocious.
Most people would tremble in fear when they saw him. This was Bai Lixi, whom Xiao Chen had forced out of the herb garden. Xiao Chen had not expected to see him here.
Bai Lixi looked around and saw the white-robed Xiao Chen. His expression could not help but change, and a ferocious look appeared in his eyes.
He took out the giant axe from his back and swung it at Zhang Xuan without any hesitation.
"Dang!"
Xiao Chen did not draw his saber. Just as the huge axe was about to hack down, the tip of his saber struck the axe's edge, giving off a dull sound.
A huge force came from the saber. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen was unable to block it. He was forced back three steps and only stopped when he pushed his heels against the wooden boards.
This axe seems to be quite famous, Xiao Chen thought to himself. Bai Lixi's physical body should be stronger than his.
However, Bai Lixi was not ridiculously strong. Even when Xiao Chen used some skill, he could not neutralize the force. This could only mean that the problem was with the axe.
However, Xiao Chen did not think too much about it. At this moment, he had no intention of fighting with this person. Even if he was a Martial King, his chances of defeating Bai Lixi were not more than fifty percent.
Xiao Chen could only say that he did not fear this person. After all, Bai Lixi was a famous cultivator. Furthermore, he had substantiated his physical body. His combat prowess was much stronger than cultivators of the same cultivation realm.
Seeing that Bai Lixi intended to make another move, Xiao Chen said sullenly, "Bai Lixi, if you still want Spirit Herbs for tempering the physical body, go ahead and chop down with this axe."
When Bai Lixi heard this, his eyes flickered. After hesitating for a long time, he did not chop down in the end.
"Dang!"
Bai Lixi casually placed the axe on the floor, and the huge restaurant trembled. He sat down and said, "This old man forgot. Brat, you cultivate the physical body as well. You must have picked a lot of Spirit Herbs for tempering the physical body."
"Hand over all the Spirit Herbs for tempering the physical body, and I will not kill you. I, Bai Lixi, always keep my word."
Xiao Chen sat down across from Bai Lixi. He smiled gently and said, "Sorry, I need those Spirit Herbs for tempering the physical body. So, I cannot give them to you."
Bai Lixi's expression turned cold. He raised his huge axe and said angrily, "Brat, you dare to trick this old man?!"
Just as Bai Lixi was about to erupt in anger, Xiao Chen said leisurely, "I do not have any Spirit Herbs. However, I do have a Heaven Ranked Body Tempering Secret Manual that the Savanna King passed down."
Bai Lixi's expression suddenly changed. He quickly put away his huge axe and asked with a bewildered expression, "Are you talking about the Savanna King's Firmament Body Tempering Art?"
Xiao Chen smiled gently and tossed out the Firmament Body Tempering Art. When Bai Lixi saw it clearly, he immediately put it away.
"Unexpectedly, it really is the Firmament Body Tempering Art. I thought that the Dark Church's people had snatched it away. Unexpectedly, you managed to find it." Bai Lixi's expression filled with shock. A fervent look appeared in his eyes.
There were very few cultivators on the continent that cultivated the physical body. Naturally, Cultivation Techniques for tempering the physical body were even rarer.
Even if there were, they would be low-ranked Cultivation Techniques. Finding a high-ranked Cultivation Technique was harder than ascending to heaven.
For so many years, Bai Lixi had only cultivated an Inferior Grade Earth Ranked Cultivation Technique. He had already cultivated that Cultivation Technique to its peak long ago. There was no way for him to improve it any further.
When Bai Lixi saw that Xiao Chen really had a Heaven Ranked Body Tempering Cultivation Technique in his hands, his excitement was easy to imagine.
Bai Lixi's hand unknowingly moved to the handle of his axe. He withdrew his killing Qi and thought to himself happily, This brat took the initiative to come to me.
When I kill him, I can vent my anger and obtain Body Tempering Spirit Herbs and secret manuals. This is killing many birds with one stone.
Xiao Chen took a sip of tea and looked at Bai Lixi. He said softly, "Put away your axe. If I want to leave, you will not be able to stop me. If I was not confident, would I take the initiative to sit across from you? "
Bai Lixi calmed himself down and said, "What do you want? Just say it. I have to obtain that Heaven Ranked Body Tempering secret manual."
Xiao Chen said casually, "You have to be willing to give it to me first. Have you sold that thousand-year-old Snow Ginseng?"
Bai Lixi laughed loudly and said, "You should have said so earlier. I am keeping it. This is for you. Hand over the Body Tempering secret manual."
What Bai Lixi cultivated was the physical body. This thousand-year-old Snow Ginseng could only increase a cultivator's cultivation. Although it was very precious, it would not be of any help to him. Hence, Bai Lixi tossed it over straightforwardly.
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "You are too naive. You want to exchange one Snow Ginseng for a Heaven Ranked secret manual? That is barely enough."
"Refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"
Bai Lixi snorted coldly and smacked the table heavily with his right hand. A huge force came from his palm and the wooden table immediately shattered.
The table did not shatter. Instead, it truly shattered, turning into countless wooden shavings. Bai Lixi's control over his strength had clearly reached a certain level.
Bai Lixi raised his huge axe and hacked at Xiao Chen's head with lightning speed. However, just as the sharp axe was about to break Xiao Chen's head …
However, Bai Lixi stopped what he was doing.
The instant the table shattered, Xiao Chen pointed two fingers on his right hand at Bai Lixi's throat. A three-inch-long short sword spun rapidly under Bai Lixi's neck.
That three-inch-long short sword looked plain and unadorned. However, Bai Lixi could feel a frightening energy from it.
Bai Lixi did not doubt that if he made a move, that short sword would immediately pierce through his throat. Even though his physical body had been tempered to the point of being as tough as steel, it would not be an exception.
Xiao Chen said coldly, "You can try. Let's see if your axe or my flying sword is faster."
Bai Lixi's expression did not change as he said, "Brat, don't be too greedy. If I guessed right, you should have taken away the Savanna King's burial items. This small sword should be one of his burial items as well, right?
"The Firmament Body Tempering Art that you gave me should be a copy as well. Using a copy to exchange for a thousand-year-old Snow Ginseng is a sure win for you. If you are too greedy, have you thought about the consequences if I spread the news that you obtained the burial items? "
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "Go ahead and say it. I can also spread the news that you injured me. You snatched away all the burial items. I have close to fifty thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones. You can try and see who can spread the news faster. "
Bai Lixi's expression turned sullen. His right hand grasped the handle of his axe tightly. He said coldly, "What exactly do you want?"
The atmosphere between the two was very strange. One held his axe and pressed it against the other's head. The other controlled a Secret Treasure and pressed it against the other's throat.
