Shi Hailong's face sank. However, there was no panic in his eyes. He smiled coldly and said, "Good timing. We can pull them all out by the roots."
"Xiu!
Xiu! Xiu! "Three figures appeared in the center of the plaza. Their auras surged, and everyone immediately felt a strong pressure.
The leader wore gorgeous blue robes and a jadeite thumb ring on his right hand. He looked exactly like a merchant.
It looked like this person had rushed over in a hurry. He did not even have time to remove his usual disguise.
However, when this person saw Gong Haoyu in the ground and the extremely weak Xie Ziwen, he sighed to himself. In the end, he was too late.
"Chi!"
The blue-robed cultivator raised his hand and pulled Gong Haoyu out of the ground. Then, he checked Gong Haoyu's pulse; he was still breathing.
The blue-robed cultivator casually handed Gong Haoyu over to the person beside him. Then, he stared at Xiao Chen. He wanted to say something but did not say anything in the end.
The blue-robed cultivator instructed another person to bring Xie Ziwen and prepared to take his leave. Shi Hailong smiled coldly but did not say anything. He looked at the three with a playful gaze.
"Bang!"
The three people who had soared into the air crashed into a formless wall. The huge rebound knocked them back to the ground in a sorry state. "Bang! Bang!
Bang! "
The three tried again from other places. In the end, they were all knocked back in a sorry state. No matter how much Essence they used, it was useless.
On the contrary, the more Essence Qi he used, the more serious the injuries he suffered.
The expressions of the three changed greatly. They looked around but could not sense who attacked them. They did not even know where their opponents were.
"They overestimate themselves. Coming to the Heavenly Extermination Union to behave atrociously, one half-step Martial Monarch is enough. Now, three Martial Monarchs came."
"The Trial of the Ancient Desolate Land is such a big event. The five giants of the Heavenly Extermination Union will definitely be here. However, it is not convenient for them to show their faces due to their status."
"If they do not show their strength, these people will think that they can come and go as they please in the Heavenly Extermination Union with just a few Martial Monarchs."
The spectating cultivators also revealed expressions of interest, as if they were watching a good show.
The leading blue-robed cultivator shouted to the sky, "Senior, please be merciful. From today onwards, the Evil Moon Pavilion will not take half a step into Desolate City!"
A cold snort came from seven thousand meters up in the sky. Everyone could vaguely see five figures hidden in the boundless white clouds.
Behind him, the wind and clouds surged, extending for hundreds of kilometers as they devoured and spat out a boundless grand scene.
"Scram. I will only say this once. My Heavenly Extermination Union will protect Xiao Chen. We will not care about the fights between the youths. If he does not follow the rules and sends out the people of the older generation, the genius of the Evil Moon Pavilion can forget about leaving the Great Jin Nation."
His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by the thousands of people present. It was as if he was speaking right beside their ears.
Puchi!
However, this voice was like a clap of thunder exploding in the ears of the Evil Moon Pavilion's people. Every word was like a clap of thunder.
Right after Xiao Chen spoke, blood leaked out of the corners of the Evil Moon Pavilion's people's mouths, but they did not show any dissatisfaction. After they respectfully thanked him, they quickly flew away.
"It is a good thing for the youths to be sharp. However, you must not be impetuous. Now that you have become famous at such a young age, don't let your fame stop you. Otherwise, not to mention becoming the second Thunder King, it will be hard for you to reach a higher level in the Martial Dao.
Take care of yourself. "That melodious voice rang out in Xiao Chen's mind. After giving him a warning, it cut off the connection with Xiao Chen.
The five figures completely disappeared into the clouds, vanishing without a trace.
As Xiao Chen watched the person who spoke, he felt that the figure was somewhat familiar. It was like he had seen it somewhere before.
"Elder Shi, who is the mysterious person who told the Evil Moon Pavilion's people to retreat?" Xiao Chen asked Shi Hailong as he turned around.
Shi Hailong smiled gently and said, "It is this generation's Heavenly Extermination Union's Alliance Chief. Brat, you are really lucky. I have never seen the Alliance Chief openly protect someone before."
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. He was now seventy to eighty percent sure of the white-robed person's identity.
This was a banquet that never ended. The outstanding talents of the four nations had gathered because of the Ancient Desolate Tower. Now, it was time for them to part.
"Xiao Chen, there is still one and a half years to the Five Nation Youth Competition. We will meet again at that time to finish that unfinished battle."
Zuo Mo walked forward and performed a cupped-fist salute to Xiao Chen. Even though he had seen Xiao Chen's strength, it did not diminish his fighting spirit. Only with a goal would he have more motivation.
Xiao Chen nodded and said, "Definitely. Let's meet at the Great Jin Nation's Wind Cloud Platform."
The people who were on good terms with Xiao Chen all came forward to congratulate him. Xiao Chen did not show any reservation or arrogance. He treated them politely, performing cupped-fist salutes in return.
If others respect me, I will respect them tenfold. This was how Xiao Chen did things. He would not change because of external factors.
A month had passed since the Trial of the Ancient Desolate Tower. Xiao Chen had bravely made it to the eighth floor of the Ancient Desolate Tower. Then, he defeated the second disciple of the Evil Moon Pavilion's Pavilion Master and the Evil Moon Pavilion's outer sect elder.
This news spread like wildfire in Desolate City. Desolate City had existed for ten thousand years. There had never been a lack of legends.
However, in the past thousand years, Desolate City had been quiet for too long. There had rarely been such an uproar. For the past month, everyone discussed this matter in their leisure time.
The White Robed Bladesman who came from the Great Qin Nation and comprehended saber intent at the age of nineteen.
Many busybodies dug up this matter. The Heavenly Saber Pavilion's internal strife. Even the proud people of the Holy Land suffered a crushing defeat at his hands.
Xiao Chen toyed with the various half-step Martial Monarchs in the Demon Battlefield. He openly snatched away the peak Demon Core of a few half-step Martial Monarchs.
He won a hundred consecutive victories in the wrestling ring, causing Gao Yangyu, who dominated the southern islands, to go bankrupt and lose his reputation.
All these things made people sigh. This person's experiences were a legend.
Many people waited in anticipation to see how far Xiao Chen could go in the Wind Cloud Arena after one and a half years. The Great Jin Nation had monopolized the top ten for many years.
Could Xiao Chen represent the four nations and break this stalemate, entering the top ten?
There were even more people who compared Xiao Chen to the Great Qin Nation from thousands of years ago. This resulted in intense disputes.
The main character of this storm, Xiao Chen, had been so frustrated in the past month that he felt like his head was about to explode.
Xiao Chen finally knew that Desolate City lived up to its reputation as one of the two great centers of the continent.
In the past month, countless sects of the four nations had extended olive branches to Xiao Chen, inviting him to join their sects.
The benefits they offered kept increasing, flabbergasting Xiao Chen.
They gave him as many thousand-year-old Spirit Herbs as he wanted, an unlimited supply of Medial Grade Spirit Stones, and a hundred Superior Grade Spirit Stones every month.
Xiao Chen remained calm. He knew what he wanted, so he rejected all of them. He just wanted to find a place to cultivate.
However, after Xiao Chen went to several courtyards, people would find him immediately. They would welcome him with smiles and politeness. He could not lose his temper and could only reject them.
In the end, Xiao Chen had no choice but to use the Shapeshifting Spell to silently find a quiet courtyard. Only then did he calm down.
Just like that, half a month passed. Xiao Chen spent the day comprehending Bai Shuihe's saber strike and the saber intent that he suddenly comprehended.
Saber intent was hard to form. Xiao Chen knew this principle as well. However, when he fought with the shoes that day, he was not able to comprehend it.
However, when Xiao Chen fought with the shoes, his saber intent seemed to flow naturally. With a thought, the Qi in his heart gushed out and condensed into an inextinguishable saber intent.
At night, Xiao Chen spent all his time stabilizing his cultivation. His cultivation had increased in one day.
Although the mysterious light of the Ancient Desolate Tower did not have any side effects, his foundation was still unstable. He needed to solidify it. Otherwise, he would not be able to endure a drawn-out battle.
On this particular night, the moon hung high in the sky, looking as bright as a silver plate. Motes of light fell to the ground, illuminating the courtyard in silence.
In the bedroom, Xiao Chen sat cross-legged on a prayer mat. He held two Medial Grade Spirit Stones in each hand as he quickly circulated the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation's sixth layer.
The Spiritual Energy in the four Spirit Stones flowed continuously into the Qi whirlpool in Xiao Chen's dantian. They turned into drops of purple liquid and dripped down.
After one hour, the Medial Grade Spirit Stones lost all their luster, turning into four useless stones.
Xiao Chen calmly tossed away the four Medial Grade Spirit Stones. With a flip of his palm, four more Medial Grade Spirit Stones appeared in his Universe Ring.
Four Medial Grade Spirit Stones for one hour. That was eight Medial Grade Spirit Stones for two hours. That was forty-eight Medial Grade Spirit Stones for twelve hours in one night.
If others found out about such a huge expenditure, it would be hard to imagine. Not to mention the fact that they did not have so many Spirit Stones to squander, even if they did, they would not dare to expend so much.
Even if they could, they would not dare to expend so much energy. The capacity of their dantian was on a completely different level from Xiao Chen.
They would not be able to endure such a large expenditure. This was the benefit of a Heaven Ranked Cultivation Technique; it was something that people loved and hated at the same time.
"Si!
Si! "A trace of heat came from the room. Xiao Chen's body trembled slightly as he slowly withdrew his consciousness from cultivating.
It was currently close to midnight. This was the coldest time of the day. How could there be heat?
Suddenly, Xiao Chen opened his eyes and spread out his Spiritual Sense in a circular fashion. He discovered that the rooms connected to the bedroom were all burning.
This fire was not ordinary. With a flip of his palm, Xiao Chen broke through the roof with his Lunar Shadow Saber and flew out.
A person with a sword on his back sat on the wall of the courtyard. He looked at Xiao Chen with a relaxed expression.
"Xiu!"
When Xiao Chen landed on the wall, he looked suspiciously at the person who started the fire. "Chu Chaoyun, what is the meaning of this?"
"Nothing, I'm just calling you out."
Xiao Chen was speechless. He said, "Is that how you call people out? The moment you arrive, you burn down my house. "
A golden light flashed in Chu Chaoyun's eyes. The blazing flames were immediately extinguished, turning into motes of golden light that entered his eyes.
"Convenient. I don't even need to open my mouth. I just need to look at you. You feel the same way, right?"
A house was not worth Xiao Chen hurting himself. So, he did not want to linger on this topic. Xiao Chen asked directly, "Why are you looking for me?"
"Pa!"
Chu Chaoyun placed his palm on the wall of the courtyard and gently patted it. Then, he moved back and stood on the door.
"Do you know that you are about to die?"
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "Do you think I will believe you?"
Chu Chaoyun said, "Not everyone is happy to see you rise up. The people you offended might not be able to do anything to you. However, not every faction will fear the Heavenly Extermination Union.
"Remember what I told you before. In this world, the title of genius is useless. The one who laughs last will be the final winner. The last one is king!"
