The distance between them slowly decreased. After fifteen minutes, the old man was less than five hundred meters away from Xiao Chen.
"Die!"
The blue-robed old man's gaze turned cold as he used his palm as a saber. Vast Quintessence gathered in his palm. His figure flashed, and he arrived above Xiao Chen's head. Then, he hacked down with his palm.
The palm wind howled, and tiny cracks appeared in space. If this palm strike landed, Xiao Chen would definitely suffer.
The difference in speed was too great. One used Quintessence while the other used Essence. There was no way to compete. Since that was the case, there was no point in running.
"Thunder Shadow Chop!"
Xiao Chen drew the Lunar Shadow Saber at lightning speed. He turned around and retreated seven steps, leaving behind seven afterimages on the ground. Each afterimage had a saber, sending out seven dazzling saber lights.
"Merge!"
The afterimages merged, and the saber lit up with a dazzling light. The peak Saber Technique that was infused with sevenfold might clashed with the blue-robed old man's horrifying palm saber.
"Bang!"
The two moves collided head-on without any fancy moves. Powerful energy ripples burst out and spread out in waves. The void was refracted layer by layer.
Xiao Chen retreated three steps, but the blue-robed old man retreated ten steps.
After the blue-robed old man stabilized himself, his expression changed greatly. He had been too careless with this palm strike. He had used only a quarter of his Quintessence. Even so, he should have been able to injure a half-step Martial Monarch easily.
Even if he could not injure the other party severely, he should not have lost to him in a clash of strength and even suffered a small loss.
The blue-robed old man looked up and saw Xiao Chen's face. He was slightly stunned, and rage appeared in his eyes. He clenched his teeth and shouted, "It's you! White Robed Bladesman, Xiao Chen! "
Sparks of electricity leaped around the saber. Xiao Chen held his saber with one hand. He remained expressionless, not showing much fear.
The other party had not reached peak Inferior Grade Martial Monarch. As long as two Martial Monarchs did not make a move, even if Xiao Chen could not defeat the other party, he would be able to leave easily.
Xiao Chen said calmly, "I am not here for your Netherworld Flame. If you do not stop me, I will not interfere. How about we not interfere?"
"Hahahaha!" The blue-robed old man laughed loudly, "Not interfere? What qualifications do you have to say that? You were the one who destroyed the Holy Fire Manor's branch in Desolate City, right?"
"Without evidence, old sir, please do not speak nonsense," Xiao Chen said unhurriedly. His calm eyes showed no fluctuations.
The blue-robed old man's pupils constricted, and a murderous intent spread in his eyes. He snorted coldly. This place is desolate and uninhabited. No one will know if I kill you. "
The Holy Fire Manor's Desolate City branch had been destroyed, and his son had been killed. The blue-robed old man had investigated for a long time, and Xiao Chen was the most suspicious. As long as there was this suspicion, Xiao Chen deserved to die!
"It looks like you really think that you are unrivaled after becoming the champion of the Five Nation Youth Competition. Today, I will show you the difference between you and a Martial Monarch!"
. "The blue-robed old man snored, his cold. Frost.... Vast Quintessence gathered on Xiao Chen's right palm. He casually threw a palm strike, and space trembled violently. It was like a mountain covered his head.
"Hu chi!"
The Essence in Xiao Chen's body instantly solidified. Thousands of purple lights shot out from all over his body. His pitch-black eyes turned deep purple as well, giving off a bright light in this dark underground.
"Clouds move everywhere, wind and lightning gather!"
Strong winds blew from all directions, and the clouds churned in the sky. Xiao Chen instantly executed the starting moves of the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique.
"Dang!"
The saber and palm clashed, and a surging shock wave exploded out. The charred ground instantly exploded. Countless black rocks flew up into the air, driven by the shock wave. "Bang! Bang!
Bang! "
Amid the thousands of floating rocks, the two exchanged moves at lightning speed. Thunder roared, and the killing intent surged. The palm wind infused with strong Quintessence caused space to tremble. Countless cracks appeared.
The shockwaves from the fight between the two caused the huge rocks floating in the surroundings to scatter like snowflakes. Along with the strong wind, the rocks scattered into the air, filling the air with dust.
"Earthly Lightning Tribulation!"
Wind and lightning gathered, and his aura reached its peak. Xiao Chen completely unleashed the state of massacre from the throne. The berserk Saber Technique in his hand instantly gained an additional state of massacre. The might of the Lightning Tribulation immediately soared.
"Mountain Pushing Palm!"
The blue-robed old man was slightly startled. He circulated seventy percent of his Quintessence, and a resplendent jade-like light surged on his right palm. When the blue-robed old man pushed his palm out, it was like a mountain moved, pushing all the wind over.
"Bang!"
A loud sound rang out, and a huge pit appeared under the two. The white Yin-attributed flame hidden in it flew out like thousands of catkins.
The blue-robed old man took a step back, moving a hundred meters with each step. When he landed, he left a dent in the ground.
"Heavenly Lightning Tribulation!"
Xiao Chen's aura flourished. He did not take a single step back. He turned into the Heavenly Dao and laid down a second lightning tribulation. The blue-robed old man's aura weakened, and he was knocked back another hundred meters.
"Divine Lightning Tribulation!"
When the final lightning tribulation descended, the blue-robed old man retreated five hundred meters with a pale complexion. He had not expected that even after using seventy percent of his Quintessence, he still could not block Xiao Chen.
"Chi!
Chi! "Xiao Chen looked up and discovered that the blue-robed old man's body was covered in burning Quintessence at some point in time. In that instant, the blue-robed old man's aura soared wildly, reaching peak Inferior Grade Martial Monarch. A strong wind blew behind him, kicking up wind everywhere.
"Quickly, run, Xiao Chen. He is burning his Quintessence. Furthermore, he is using the Extreme Yin Flame to burn it. You are definitely not a match for him," Ao Jiao said quickly from the Lunar Shadow Saber.
Burning Quintessence was a technique that only Martial Monarchs could grasp. It drained their Quintessence several times faster to increase their strength. Martial Monarchs would not burn their Quintessence unless they had no other choice. Furthermore, if the other party used the Extreme Yin Flame to burn his Quintessence, his strength would increase even more.
Xiao Chen understood the severity of the situation. He sheathed his saber and quickly retreated.
"You are still thinking of running at this time?"
The blue-robed old man snorted coldly, and his figure flashed. In the blink of an eye, he caught up to Xiao Chen. Everywhere he passed, the Quintessence flames on his body burned a large patch of empty space.
The blue-robed old man's palm wind was like thunder, pressing towards Xiao Chen's back.
A sense of extreme danger appeared in Xiao Chen's heart. His face sank, and he quickly turned around. Then, he crossed his arms and materialized the stance of a dragon and a tiger.
A dragon in the left hand and a tiger in the right. The dragon roared and the tiger roared, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon!
"Bang!"
The palm strike landed on Xiao Chen's arms, and he vomited a mouthful of blood. He tumbled a few times in the air before landing firmly on the ground after twisting his body.
Xiao Chen's Qi and blood surged. The blue-robed old man's burning Quintessence surged through his meridians. His internal organs were instantly damaged, and he felt intense pain.
After wiping off the blood from his lips, Xiao Chen knelt on one knee and smiled at the blue-robed old man. He said, "You truly are a Martial Monarch expert. You can injure me to such an extent with just one palm strike. I will exchange pointers with you in the future. I will definitely return this palm strike!"
The blue-robed old man knew Xiao Chen and mocked him for bullying the weak. He said in a cold voice, "Even at death's door, you still dare to be stubborn. Even if you are a King Grade True Dragon, you will have to kneel here today."
"Boom!"
However, just at this moment, a blazing fire suddenly surged out from Xiao Chen's right eye. The Purple Thunder True Fire covered the sky as it moved towards the old man; its aura was very horrifying.
"Insignificant skill. This old man has played with fire all my life!"
A large clump of pale white flames appeared on the blue-robed old man's right hand. There was an Origin Flame the size of a chicken egg in that flame, looking as resplendent as a star.
The blue-robed old man casually waved his hand, and this clump of flames blasted apart the purple flames that covered Xiao Chen. They turned into sparks drifting down.
The blue-robed old man revealed a cocky expression. He had cultivated his Extreme Yin Flame for fifty years. His Origin Flame was even stronger. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen dared to play with fire with him.
However, the instant the flames scattered, the blue-robed old man's complexion turned green. He saw eighty-one figures of Xiao Chen in front of him. It was hard to tell which one was the real one. All of them flew in eighty-one different directions.
If the blue-robed old man had personally seen Xiao Chen execute the Roaming Dragon's Nine Transformations, he might have been able to tell which one was the real one. However, now that he faced eighty-one figures, how could he tell which was the real one?
"Damn it!"
The rage on the Holy Fire Manor's First Manor Lord's face was indescribable. A bona fide Martial Monarch expert had used the Extreme Yin Flame to burn his Quintessence. Unexpectedly, a half-step Martial Monarch brat managed to escape.
It was already embarrassing enough for the First Manor Lord to make a move against a junior. In the end, he failed to stop the other party, which was even more embarrassing. Fortunately, there were no outsiders here. Otherwise, if word of this spread, he would not be able to keep his old face.
"Bang!"
The blue-robed old man stomped heavily on the ground. He infused all his remaining Quintessence and rage into this stomp. A long crack appeared in the ground. The energy in the crack was like a knife. As the crack extended, it even cut the air in half.
"Big Brother, what's going on?"
A voice came from behind the blue-robed old man. It was the Holy Fire Manor's Second Manor Lord rushing over. He had felt the blue-robed old man burn his Quintessence and thought that the blue-robed old man had run into a strong opponent.
The blue-robed old man calmed himself and said, "That person is Xiao Chen."
The gray-robed old man suddenly understood. He said, "The first rank of the True Dragon Ranking, the White Robed Bladesman Xiao Chen, is the prime suspect for killing the First Young Master? Isn't he only a half-step Martial Monarch? How … "
Seeing the blue-robed old man's hostile expression, the gray-robed old man quickly shut up. He said, "He ran off just like that? Will he come and cause trouble when we are hunting the Netherworld Fire Spirit?"
The First Manor Lord said coldly, "If he dares, it would be fine if he does not come. If he does, we can kill him as well. We will be able to obtain some of the King's Luck he has. "
"Send people to guard the exit. I don't believe that he will not come out. After we subdue the Netherworld Flame Seed, we will come and settle the score with him."
"Don't be so rash in the future. Those who can become Martial Monarchs are definitely not mediocre. I have never seen anyone use Essence to clash with Quintessence. That is suicide, "Ao Jiao, who was in the Lunar Shadow Saber, chided.
Xiao Chen had just consumed a thousand-year-old Spirit Herb for treating injuries. He refined it for a while, allowing the Medicinal Energy to seep into his internal organs even faster. After a while, he vomited a mouthful of blood, and his complexion looked much better.
When Xiao Chen heard Ao Jiao's words, he stood up and smiled. "It's fine. I know what I'm doing. After exchanging moves with that person, I gained a better understanding of my own strength."
After the Five Nation Youth Competition, Xiao Chen's strength had soared. However, he had not found a suitable opponent. Among the half-step Martial Monarchs, no one could interest him.
The blue-robed old man happened to be an Inferior Grade Martial Monarch. By exchanging moves with him, Xiao Chen could gain a better understanding of his own strength.
