The countless grains of sand in the surroundings moved continuously, quickly forming a huge cage, trapping Xiao Chen within as it shrank continuously.
"Wukui Breaks the Heavens!"
After struggling out of the sand-filled ground, Xiao Chen did not hesitate to execute one of his strongest killing moves.
At this moment, he could not afford to hesitate. He only had one chance. If he could not break out of this cage, he would be completely sealed. So, he immediately executed Wukui Breaks the Heavens.
A pillar of light quickly elongated on the snow-white saber. Soon, it was a kilometer long. It merged two strong states and tore a large hole in the sand wall above him.
Xiao Chen's figure flashed as he rushed out.
"Brat, you won't be able to escape this time, right?!"
The moment Xiao Chen came out, he saw Old Qin flying at him with a sinister expression. He was less than a hundred meters away. Old Qin spread his fingers and grabbed at Xiao Chen. "Chi!
Chi! "
Old Qin's sharp fingers contained a strong force. Everywhere they passed, five faint marks appeared in the air. One could easily imagine how strong this force was.
The old man's speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he closed the distance of a hundred meters. He pulled his fingers downwards, looking like he was about to pierce through Xiao Chen's shoulder.
At the crucial moment, Xiao Chen turned around and pressed two fingers on his right hand against the other party's shoulder.
A huge force came from Xiao Chen's shoulder, causing him some pain. Old Qin circulated his Essence and dissipated the force. He smiled faintly and said, "With your strength, even if I stood here and let you hit me, you would not be able to break through my defense. Furthermore, you want to snatch my things? Die!"
"Bang!"
Just as he finished speaking and his right claw was about to land on Old Qin, a bloody hole suddenly appeared on his shoulder. Old Qin's body fell to the ground.
Xiao Chen waved his hand and the three-inch-long Palm Sword flew back to him.
Xiao Chen did not care how strong this sword strike was or how much damage it dealt to Old Qin. His figure flashed as he flew towards the pillar of light.
Old Qin clutched the bloody hole in his shoulder, his pale face showing a pained expression. He had never imagined that Xiao Chen would actually have a peak Low-Rank Secret Treasure in his palm.
With a flip of his palm, Old Qin took out a pill. A pained expression appeared on his face as he hesitated for a moment before swallowing the pill.
The Medicinal Pill melted in Xiao Chen's mouth, and the bloody hole in his right shoulder healed at a visible rate. Soon, it returned to normal.
This was a Tier 8 healing panacea. It had the effect of reviving the dead at a crucial moment. Old Qin was only using it to heal his wounds. He had no choice but to use it. It was obviously overkill.
For the sake of recovering the monster core, he had lost yet another healing panacea. The hatred in Old Qin's eyes grew even more intense. Seeing Xiao Chen pass through the pillar of light, he hurriedly chased after him.
After Old Qin passed through the pillar of light, his vision blurred for a moment. Then, he exited the Demon Battlefield and returned to Boulder Island. He quickly looked around for Xiao Chen.
"Strange, where did this brat run off to? Why can't I see him anywhere? It is impossible for him to be so fast at Mach 3.5."
Old Qin looked around at the empty surroundings, his eyes filled with doubt.
Just as Old Qin was feeling suspicious, a strong aura of massacre appeared above him. Along with the state of massacre was a tyrannical Dragon Might.
Old Qin's expression changed greatly as he looked up. He saw Xiao Chen descending from the sky. An Azure Dragon image coiled around his right hand. Xiao Chen clenched his fist and punched at Old Qin.
"Boom!"
There was a dragon roar, and ripples appeared in the sky. Old Qin instantly felt a supreme Dragon Might descend from the sky, like a mountain pressing down on him.
Old Qin could not move an inch. He could not help but be horrified. He quickly took out a small, exquisite shield and blew on it.
The shield rapidly expanded, emitting a light blue luster as it blocked in front of him.
The blue light was clear and transparent, and the Spiritual Energy it contained was overwhelming. This shield was actually an Inferior Grade Medial Grade defensive Secret Treasure.
However, the surface of the shield was slightly dim. It was clear that Old Qin had exhausted too much Essence and was unable to bring out the full potential of this Secret Treasure.
"Bang!"
The dragon head crashed into the shield and the blue ripples immediately scattered. Blood leaked out of the corner of Old Qin's mouth. He held the shield and instantly retreated a kilometer.
"Blue Dragon Tail Whip!"
Xiao Chen shouted and the Azure Dragon image immediately gathered the last of its energy on its tail. It moved in an arc, bypassing the shield and striking Old Qin's body.
"Pu ci!"
Old Qin vomited a large mouthful of blood, and his body was sent flying.
When Xiao Chen saw Old Qin drifting through the air like a withered leaf, many thoughts flashed in his mind. In the end, he resisted the urge to charge forward and kill Old Qin.
Old Qin's companions had not arrived yet. If Xiao Chen charged forward and got delayed, it would be all over.
Xiao Chen's figure flashed and he quickly left. He felt it was a pity. This time, he had used all his trump cards, but he still could not kill Old Qin.
In the future, there would probably be no more opportunities for Old Qin to exhaust his Essence or exhaust his Mental Energy.
Not long after Xiao Chen left, the pillar of light flashed a few more times. The half-step Martial Monarchs chasing Xiao Chen's clone finally arrived.
When they saw Old Qin lying on the ground with his shield tossed aside and a pale complexion with blood flowing out of his mouth, they were astonished. They quickly gave chase.
"Old Qin, are you alright?!"
Old Qin stood up weakly and looked in the direction that Xiao Chen had taken. His eyes looked like they were going to spew fire. He said coldly, "I won't die. That brat cannot have left the southern islands so quickly. Quickly bring me back to the Holy Fire Manor. If I do not find that brat, I will not be able to quell the hatred in my heart."
The group exchanged glances and looked at the severely injured Old Qin. They could not understand how Xiao Chen, an Inferior Grade Martial King, could injure Old Qin.
Even though Old Qin had exhausted a lot of his Essence, he still had his foundations. It would be easy for him to crush an Inferior Grade Martial King to death.
On the lake northeast of Boulder Island, a small silver boat was moving quickly.
Xiao Chen sat cross-legged in the boat's hold. He held a Medial Grade Spirit Stone in each hand as he slowly recovered his Essence.
Xiao Chen used the Blood Flame Shoes, a Medial Grade Secret Treasure, for a long time. Furthermore, he used the Life Bestowal Spell and the Roaming Dragon's Nine Transformations at the same time, which significantly increased the drain on his Essence.
In merely four hours, Xiao Chen had exhausted most of his Essence. Fortunately, he managed to escape the pursuit of Old Qin and the others before he ran out of Essence.
This was not much different from what Xiao Chen had planned.
After the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation reached the sixth layer, the speed at which Xiao Chen absorbed Spiritual Energy had tripled. The Medial Grade Spirit Stones that could have allowed him to cultivate for half a day had been used up in half an hour.
Xiao Chen opened his eyes and felt that the purple Qi whirlpool was only filled with Essence liquid. He frowned slightly.
Two Medial Grade Spirit Stones were only enough for him to cultivate for an hour. Furthermore, it was only half as effective. The exhaustion of a Heaven Ranked Cultivation Technique was much greater than Xiao Chen had expected.
Calculating it, he had exhausted at least ten Medial Grade Spirit Stones a day. If the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation advanced in the future, the exhaustion would increase exponentially.
Right now, Xiao Chen had more than fifty thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones. He did not have to worry about this. However, it would be hard to say in the future.
No wonder those peak geniuses all wanted to find a strong power to back them up. The competition between geniuses was not just a competition of their own talent.
There were also all sorts of natural treasures and Superior Grade resources. These were all important aspects of the competition.
The principle was very simple. With the same talent and aptitude, one person could use an unlimited amount of resources while the other could only use half of the other person's resources.
Over time, this difference would be extraordinarily large. It might even form an insurmountable chasm.
Furthermore, this was only for cultivation below Martial Monarch. If one wanted to maintain such a fast cultivation speed after advancing to Martial Monarch, they would have to use Superior Grade Spirit Stones every day.
If that was the case, the exhaustion would be even more horrifying. Given the situation of the Great Qin Nation, even the Royal Court would find it hard to sustain such a huge expenditure.
In that case, who could afford to raise a peak genius who had advanced to Martial Monarch? Perhaps only the Great Jin Nation had such a strong sect that could afford to raise such a genius.
Xiao Chen collected his thoughts and took out the Haotian Medallion from the Universe Ring. He grasped the Haotian Medallion tightly with his right hand and a pensive look appeared in his eyes.
The Supreme Sky Sect was one of the ten peak sects of the Great Jin Nation. Xiao Chen did not know if they could afford to raise his cultivation to Martial Monarch.
However, once he accepted someone else's resources, he would be bound to the other party's war chariot. There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
"Never mind, thinking about this is giving me a headache. The resources I have now are sufficient for me. I will worry about this later. Let's take a look at my harvest first."
Xiao Chen put away the Haotian Medallion and took out the corpses of the three half-step Martial Monarchs from the Universe Ring. The wounds on these three corpses were very horrifying.
A black aura lingered on the wounds. The surrounding flesh was corroded into a horrible sight, and a strange smell wafted out.
Xiao Chen gently touched the wounds and a drop of the black aura came into contact with his fingertip. "Zi zi!" The black aura continuously corroded the skin and flesh of his fingertip, trying to enter his flesh.
This caused Xiao Chen to feel some pain. His mood seemed to turn agitated. A strand of purple flame appeared on his fingertip and burned the black aura into nothing.
Illusory miserable cries resounded in Xiao Chen's mind. The black aura seemed to be alive.
What a horrifying baleful aura! If such an attack pierced through my flesh and I did not get rid of it in time, it would be fatal. When the baleful aura invaded my meridians, even the smallest wound would be fatal.
This should not be an ordinary state of massacre. It was infused with the negative states unique to Demons, such as despair, pain, rage, etc. Otherwise, it would not have such an effect.
In the future, if I run into similar wounds, I cannot be careless. Otherwise, it might lead to a great disaster. These three people might have died like this.
Xiao Chen removed the Spatial Rings from the corpses and tossed the corpses into the lake. Then, he started to check the treasures in the Spatial Rings.
Xiao Chen opened the first Spatial Ring with his Spiritual Sense. Instantly, he saw a large pile of Medial Grade Spirit Stones.
With a rough count, there were at least twenty thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones. As for the Inferior Grade Spirit Stones, there were a horrifying number of one hundred thousand.
What a fellow! Xiao Chen had killed so many peak Martial Kings and obtained only fifty thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones. Unexpectedly, this half-step Martial Monarch had accumulated twenty thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones.
