After two hours, the two Medial Grade Spirit Stones were completely drained. Xiao Chen opened his eyes and smiled bitterly. He felt somewhat helpless.
After the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation reached the sixth layer, the amount of Essence exhausted was simply too shocking. The two Medial Grade Spirit Stones had only turned into ten-odd drops of Essence liquid.
"It looks like there is still some time before I can advance to Medial Grade Martial King. There is still some time before the bottle is full."
Xiao Chen sighed softly and entered the room. He lit an oil lamp and sat at the table to read Bai Lixi's cultivation notes.
Bai Lixi was indeed a genius at cultivating the physical body. The experiences in there were very useful to Xiao Chen. In the last battle, Xiao Chen had used pure Vital Qi. His cultivation of the Firmament Body Tempering Art had improved by leaps and bounds.
The most important thing was that his comprehension of Vital Qi had increased significantly. This proved that what Bai Lixi said was right.
Xiao Chen estimated that Bai Lixi's Vital Qi should have reached a million Vital Qi now. Breaking a mountain with one punch would be child's play.
Hence, Xiao Chen had to continue studying these cultivation notes. This would allow him to avoid taking unnecessary detours and waste time.
Deep into the night, Xiao Chen did not know how much time had passed. The flickering oil lamp in the room started to shake violently as if it would go out at any moment.
Xiao Chen looked out the window and sent out his Spiritual Sense. After a while, he withdrew it and put down the notes in his hand.
Xiao Chen blew out the oil lamp and said indifferently, "Three million Medial Grade Spirit Stones will indeed attract some flies that do not care about their lives."
Three cultivators with withdrawn killing Qi stood under a tree outside Xiao Chen's courtyard. Xiao Chen was very familiar with two of them.
The person on the far right was the one who wanted to drag Xiao Chen and Xia Xiyan down with him. He was the second disciple of the Lamenting Valley's Valley Master, Mu Nan.
The person at the side was Yun Ping, who had been mocking Xiao Chen and getting crippled by Xiao Chen in the first round. These two had a grudge with Xiao Chen. It was not surprising that they were working together.
However, the other person wore black clothes and a black scarf that covered his face, revealing only his eyes, making him look quite mysterious.
Mu Nan said somewhat worriedly, "Will we offend the Heavenly Extermination Union by doing this? He is someone who obtained a hundred victories!"
A sinister look flashed in Yun Ping's eyes. He laughed coldly and said, "It's not like I'm killing him. I'm just cutting off one of his arms. What is there to be afraid of?"
The black-clothed man nodded and said, "That's right. A genius that has lost an arm is trash. Would the Heavenly Extermination Union care about trash?"
"As I said earlier, the two of you will split the three million Medial Grade Spirit Stones equally. I only want the other things."
When Mu Nan heard three million Medial Grade Spirit Stones, a greedy look flashed in his eyes. His last bit of worry completely vanished. He said fiercely, "I'll do it. Back then, this brat nearly caused me to get killed by a Demonic Beast. It is time to collect some interest from him."
The three of them reached a consensus. Without another word, they quietly leaped over the wall of the courtyard. Just as they were about to rush into Xiao Chen's bedroom …
Suddenly, they discovered Xiao Chen standing quietly under a small tree in the courtyard. He was not surprised at their arrival.
"I've been waiting for a long time!"
"Ka ca!"
Xiao Chen ignored the stunned expressions on Yun Ping and the others' faces. He instantly drew his saber, and a bright electric light shone on the three's eyes.
The three of them were astonished. Originally, they were prepared to catch Xiao Chen off guard. Who knew that Xiao Chen would take the initiative?
"Roaming Dragon's Nine Transformations, Clear Wind Chop!"
Xiao Chen's figure flashed, and he turned into nine figures. Nine cool breezes blew in the courtyard, warming everyone's hearts.
Retreat!
When the three sensed that none of the figures had any killing Qi and that strange cool breeze, they did not think too much. They drew their weapons and quickly retreated.
"You think you can retreat?!"
Xiao Chen focused his gaze on Yun Ping. He snorted coldly and activated the Blood Flame Shoes. Then, he flew at Mach 3.5. "Dang! Dang!
Dang! "
Yun Ping knew that he could not retreat, so he did not bother. A determined look flashed on his face as he brandished his sword to its limits, blocking the attacks of the nine clones from different directions.
However, Xiao Chen's attack used the Cool Wind Chop. One could only see the cool breeze and not the saber, making it hard to predict. There was no killing Qi at all.
Yun Ping could only rely on his senses to block. Soon, wounds of various sizes appeared on his body, and blood immediately flowed out.
When Xiao Chen saw Mu Nan and the black-clothed man rushing over from the corner of his eyes, Xiao Chen stopped fighting them. The nine figures merged back together.
Xiao Chen moved back quickly, leaving behind afterimages in the air. He did not want to get surrounded by the other three.
In just one exchange, Xiao Chen had inflicted significant injuries on Yun Ping. The three could not help but feel afraid.
"I'll hold him back, and the two of you wait for an opportunity to attack?" the black-clothed man said sullenly with a grave and stern gaze.
"Kill!"
Right after the black-clothed man spoke, he brandished his sword. Strands of pale white flames soared up from the sword, making it look very sinister in the dark night.
"It seems like an Extreme Yin Flame. In that case, I will use a pure Yang lightning-attributed flame to completely suppress you!"
With a thought from Xiao Chen, the flickering electric light on his saber suddenly ignited, turning into strands of purple flame.
"Bang!"
The saber and sword clashed. The purple flame and the cold, pale white flame exploded in the dark night. The light flickered, making the dark night look like it was daytime.
Yin and Yang, two opposing attributes. When they clashed, the destructive power generated was very shocking. The air turned scorching hot.
The chill of the night was dispelled without a trace.
Yun Ping and Mu Nan took advantage of this opportunity to charge over. Xiao Chen did not panic. He dodged Mu Nan's attack in a flash. Then, he clenched his left fist and sent out a fist wind, forcing his opponent back.
As for Yun Ping's attack, Xiao Chen saw through it with one glance. He smiled coldly and kicked his opponent's wrist first.
Xiao Chen's wrist immediately shattered, and his sword fell to the ground. He did not stop there. He continued to kick his opponent's chest.
"Bang!"
Blood leaked out of the corner of Yun Ping's mouth. His body flew back and crashed heavily into the wall.
Rage flashed in the black-clothed man's eyes. He did not expect Yun Ping to be so weak. He said coldly, "Mu Nan, why are you still hiding your strength?!"
Mu Nan did not say anything else. He casually threw the longsword in his hand into the ground and raised it up slightly with his palm facing up.
When his palm reached his chin, he spat out a mouthful of turbid Qi. The expression in his eyes suddenly changed; he was wailing in pain.
"Lamenting Palm!"
Mu Nan shouted and locked his aura on Xiao Chen. Then, his figure flashed and he sent out a palm strike.
When Xiao Chen sent out this palm strike, he felt a state of grief in his heart for no reason. It made him feel extremely depressed. Unexpectedly, he felt like he wanted to leave this world.
What a powerful state! It can actually invade one's mind, preventing one from raising their combat prowess.
This was similar to Bai Zhan's state. It was also a state of emotion. Unfortunately, it had not been comprehended to Great Perfection. It did not have much of an effect on Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense turned into an ancient bell and rang in his mind. The state of grief that invaded his mind was instantly expelled.
"Wukui Shakes the Heavens!"
Xiao Chen used a powerful move and temporarily forced the black-clothed man back. Then, he quickly turned around.
Xiao Chen merged his Vital Qi and Essence and clashed with Mu Nan's Lamenting Palm infused with his state. Just as the fist and palm clashed, the eight acupoints on Xiao Chen's left arm exploded.
"Since you want to clash head-on, I will clash head-on with you. I will use my full power to cripple you with one punch!"
Xiao Chen's gaze turned cold. He gathered his Dragon Qi and punched with his left fist.
"Bang! Bang!
Bang! "Before Xiao Chen's overwhelming strength, Mu Nan's palm strike, which was ineffective against Mu Nan's state, was knocked back by Xiao Chen.
The might of Mu Nan's attack did not diminish. There were three crunching sounds and Mu Nan's right arm exploded into three pieces.
When the black-clothed man, who had just broken the Wukui Shakes the Heavens, saw this scene, his expression changed greatly. He had not expected Yun Ping and Mu Nan to be severely injured in a few moves.
Yun Ping and Mu Nan had lost their combat prowess. Damn it!
I should have known that since these two did not obtain sixty victories, they should not be very strong. Yet, I still sought them out to work together. They were blinded by their own benefits.
Did they think that when the time came, they could take advantage of the situation and finish them off?
Seeing the two unable to withstand a single blow, the black-clothed man thought in frustration, There is no more chance. Retreat!
"Flaming Cross Chop!"
The black-clothed man shouted and drew a horizontal line with his sword. A pale white flame immediately burned on the horizontal line.
The black-clothed man sheathed his sword and retreated. Then, he drew another vertical line made of white flames.
The two lines intersected and formed a cross. Then, he flew at Xiao Chen. The cross-shaped flame grew as the wind blew. Soon, it became incredibly huge.
The black-clothed man did not even bother to look at the might of this attack. He turned around and quickly retreated.
"Trying to run? Do you think you can?!" Xiao Chen said coldly as he placed his right hand on the saber's hilt.
"Wukui Breaks the Heavens!"
Xiao Chen shouted and brought out the state of thunder to its limits. The churning thunderclouds in the sky roared ferociously. Bolts of lightning tore through the night sky.
A Wukui Tree quickly formed above Xiao Chen's head. The Qi on the saber also slowly lit up.
When the Wukui Tree was completely formed, the beam of light on the saber also completely formed. A boundlessly resplendent purple beam of light extended from the saber to the front.
"Bang!"
In an instant, the beam of light broke through the intersection point of the cross. The cross-shaped flame shattered and turned into sparks.
They turned into sparks and swayed in the night sky like sparkling and translucent flowers.
The black-clothed man in front was startled. He had not expected his trump card to be broken by Xiao Chen so quickly.
The black-clothed man could not even block the attack for a moment. He could not help but increase his speed.
Mu Nan lay on the ground. He had lost an arm and had lost most of his blood. He stood up weakly.
Mu Nan quickly ran out of the courtyard. He did not even have time to bandage the wound on his arm. All he could think about was escaping.
Xiao Chen looked around and saw the fleeing Mu Nan. His expression turned cold.
Since Mu Nan intended to kill someone, he should have been prepared to fail.
"Die!"
A dark light flashed and the Palm Sword shot out. A bowl-sized bloody hole appeared in Mu Nan's chest; he had lost all signs of life.
On the other side, Yun Ping had already climbed to the top of the wall. His sternum was broken. Normally, he only needed to jump lightly. Now, he had to put in a lot of effort to climb up.
