Unexpectedly, this black-robed cultivator was a remnant of the Dark Church with a Demonic Beast Martial Spirit. According to the rules of the continent, when one saw a remnant of the Dark Church, they had to work together to kill him.
After all, the other party was once the public enemy of the continent. Xiao Chen thought for a while and stomped on the ground. An intense fist wind flew at the black-robed cultivator.
When the black-robed cultivator saw Xiao Chen suddenly appear, he was somewhat surprised. However, when he discovered that Xiao Chen was only an Inferior Grade Martial King, the shock on his face turned into a smile.
You overestimate yourself. I can use this brat as a hostage and leave this place quickly. This girl is too strong. Dragging this out is not a solution.
The black-robed cultivator knocked away the white-clothed girl's attack with his sword. He clenched his left fist, and strands of black Qi surrounded it. He revealed a sinister smile as he clashed with Xiao Chen's fist.
"Be careful, there is Demonic Qi on his fist. You cannot clash head-on with him." When the white-clothed girl saw Xiao Chen suddenly appear, she could not help but feel anxious. Why did a fellow who does not care about his life appear out of nowhere?
Xiao Chen's expression remained calm; he did not care too much about it. He only merged his Essence and Vital Qi. Under the situation where a full-powered strike could carry one hundred and fifty tons of force, the Essence he infused could reach two hundred and fifty tons of force.
This could be considered the peak punch of Xiao Chen in his perfect state.
"Bang!"
There was a loud 'ka ca' sound, and a huge force spread out. The black-robed cultivator's entire arm was crippled; his bones broke.
When the two fists met, there was a loud sound and an intense shockwave. A ten-meter-tall wave soared into the surroundings.
Before the white-clothed girl's astonished gaze, the black Qi surrounding Xiao Chen's fist wind blew away without a trace.
"Pu ci!"
The black-robed cultivator vomited a large mouthful of blood. His pale face was filled with shock. Xiao Chen's strength had reached an incredible level; it was at least two hundred and fifty tons of force.
Aside from peak Superior Grade Martial Kings who cultivated Superior Grade Earth Ranked Cultivation Techniques, it would be difficult for anyone to achieve such strength.
I have to run quickly. That girl is already difficult to deal with. Now, there is this strange brat. If I do not leave now, I will not be able to.
The black-robed cultivator turned around and dove into the vast lake, trying to escape underwater.
"You want to leave? Not so easy!"
Xiao Chen stepped forward and shouted. Then, he punched the surface of the water and a huge whirlpool appeared in front of him. A pillar of water shot up into the sky.
Amidst the countless fishes and prawns, the black-robed man's body was directly lifted into the air by the water column.
At this time, the white-clothed woman also came back to her senses. She flew forward and brandished her sword. The white-clothed woman was like a butterfly, fluttering up and down.
In the sword light, it was extremely sharp. In the air, it was as if it was real. Xiao Chen had never seen such a condensed sword light before.
In an instant, Xiao Chen sent out more than a hundred sword lights, creating more than a hundred bloody holes of various sizes on the black-robed cultivator's body.
Bang!
When the water pillar fell, the black-robed cultivator's body landed on the surface of the lake as well. However, he was already dead; he could not be any more dead.
This woman looked delicate and elegant. However, when she attacked, she was extraordinarily decisive and sharp.
"Ka ca!" The white-clothed woman chopped off the black-robed cultivator's head. Then, she tossed the head into her Universe Ring. Then, she removed the other party's spatial ring. Her movements were very smooth and practiced.
"Thank you for your help. What is your name?"
After the white-clothed woman finished all this, she raised her head and looked at Xiao Chen. Then, she smiled gently.
Originally, Xiao Chen thought that the other party's help would drag her down. Unexpectedly, it saved her a lot of time. The white-clothed woman felt somewhat curious about this unfamiliar and strong youth.
Xiao Chen said calmly, "It's fine. He is a remnant of the Dark Church. It is only natural for me to kill him."
When the white-clothed woman heard this, she was slightly stunned. She carefully sized up Xiao Chen and smiled gently. "You have just arrived in the Ancient Desolate Land, right?"
Xiao Chen felt somewhat suspicious. He said, "Yes, I have indeed just arrived in the Ancient Desolate Land. However, how did you know?"
The white-clothed woman smiled and said, "After staying in the Ancient Desolate Land for a long time, you would not say that."
"What do you mean?"
The white-clothed woman organized her words and explained everything to Xiao Chen in detail.
It turned out that there were many remnant members of the Dark Church in the Ancient Desolate Land. Furthermore, they had formed a moderately large faction.
However, no one bothered about them. There was no other reason than this was the Ancient Desolate Land, where the various factions gathered.
There were many wanted criminals of the various nations, bandits, and tyrants who killed without batting an eyelid. As long as they came here, the wanted posters of the outside world would lose their effect.
Since the destruction of the Tianwu Dynasty, the Ancient Desolate Land had always been a lawless place. It had always been extremely chaotic.
Furthermore, due to some strange reason, there had never been any news of the five great nations or the strong sects planning to monopolize the Ancient Desolate Land.
At some point in time, the Ancient Desolate Land became an absolutely neutral place in the continent.
Even the evil tyrants and evil cultivators that everyone in the outside world would not be killed by righteous people in the name of chivalry.
In the Ancient Desolate Land, strength was everything. Righteousness and chivalry were just jokes to others.
Even the survivors of the Nether Sect, the common enemy of the human race, would not gang up on them here.
They were no different from ordinary cultivators. They would only be hunted down if they violated the interests of others.
After Xiao Chen heard this, he suddenly understood. This Ancient Desolate Land was a miraculous place.
However, he did not know why the various great nations and sects did not dare to encroach on the Ancient Desolate Land. The Ancient Desolate Land was a huge place. It could not be described as a piece of juicy meat.
There should be an extremely strong faction in the Ancient Desolate Land looking out for it in secret. Otherwise, it would not be able to prevent others from spying on it.
After the white-clothed woman finished speaking, she continued, "Let me formally introduce myself. I am Xia Xiyan from the Great Xia Nation's Thousand Sword Pavilion."
Xiao Chen had heard of the Thousand Sword Pavilion before. It was a peak sect in the Great Xia Nation. Its strength was similar to the Great Chu Nation's Heavenly Sword Gate. It was somewhat famous in the four great nations.
Xiao Chen nodded gently and said, "I am Xiao Chen from the Great Qin Nation. I do not belong to any sect at the moment."
Xia Xiyan's pretty face revealed a stunned expression. Clearly, she did not believe that Xiao Chen did not belong to any sect.
Xiao Chen's punch contained 250,000 kilograms of force. Even in the Great Jin Nation, where there were many geniuses, a large sect would value him.
However, although Xia Xiyan was curious, she would not try to get to the bottom of things for no reason. Everyone had their own secrets to some extent.
"Looking at where you are going, you seem to be going to Heavenly Spring Island. Coincidentally, I have completed my mission as well. Let's go together!" Xia Xiyan invited.
Xiao Chen was stunned. He said, "Isn't that Red Cloud Island in front? How did it become Heavenly Spring Island?"
Xia Xiyan said with certainty, "Heavenly Spring Island is in front. It is one of the six great islands, second only to the main island in the south. You must be going in the wrong direction."
Xiao Chen took out the map and looked at it. He could not help but smile bitterly. Red Cloud Island and Heavenly Spring Island. One was in the south, and the other was in the north. The distance between them was close to five hundred kilometers.
Xiao Chen really did not know how he got here.
"How did you get here?" Xia Xiyan asked softly.
Xiao Chen thought for a while and answered honestly, "I took a boat here."
Since he took a boat, that should be a flying-type Secret Treasure. Xia Xiyan felt excited. She had not expected Xiao Chen to have such a treasure.
However, this could explain the reason for this. Xia Xiyan said softly, "No wonder. The Heavenly Extermination Lake looks calm, without any waves. However, there are many undercurrents. Sometimes, they even form a strong undercurrent. If one was not an experienced boatman, even if one had a map, they would definitely deviate from the right direction. "
The main island of the southern archipelago, Longyang Island, was similar to the capital of the Xihe Province. It was the core island of the southern archipelago. The only difference was that it did not have any jurisdiction over the other islands.
Around Longyang Island, there were six islands that were second only to it in terms of size and position. This Heavenly Spring Island was one of them.
Never mind. Since I am already at Heavenly Spring Island, I might as well take a look. Red Cloud Island is just a small island. Whatever it can do, Heavenly Spring Island should be able to do as well.
The two of them executed their Movement Techniques and quickly headed for Heavenly Spring Island. Along the way, Xiao Chen understood why Xia Xiyan and the black-robed cultivator ended up fighting.
The name of the remnant forces of the Dark Church in the Ancient Desolate Land had changed slightly. They were still called the Dark Church. There were many experts in the Dark Church. However, compared to the Dark Church in the past, they were much weaker.
Not long ago, the Dark Church had gotten into a conflict with another faction in the Ancient Desolate Land, the Blood Wolf Gang. Both sides had issued missions in the Heavenly Extermination Union to kill the other's disciples and obtain rewards.
Xia Xiyan had come to this Heavenly Spring Island to do something. Coincidentally, she accepted the mission from the Blood Wolf Gang.
Xiao Chen asked, "What rank is that black-robed cultivator in the current Dark Church? How many rewards can I obtain for killing him?"
Xia Xiyan's figure flashed on the surface of the water. She said softly, "The Dark Church has one Church Master, two Vice Church Masters, nine elders, and one hundred and eight Protectors. The rest are just a bunch of miscellaneous soldiers of varying strength."
"The one I just killed was one of the one hundred and eight Protectors. However, the current Protectors cannot be compared to the Protectors of the past. The older Protectors were at least half-step Martial Monarchs. Unfortunately, most of them are already dead. The one I just killed was just to make up the numbers."
Given this, Xiao Chen had a rough idea of the current strength of the Dark Church. Even though it was much weaker than before, the nine Elders should all be Martial Monarchs.
However, the nine elders should all be Martial Monarchs. Furthermore, there were some Protectors who had not died. Such a force was probably much stronger than the Heavenly Saber Pavilion.
Xiao Chen continued, "Why did they fight? Do such large-scale battles happen frequently in the Ancient Desolate Land?"
