Now, these lower-realm genius cultivators could be said to be poor. Several of them could not bear to part with Spirit Gathering Pearls and could not even afford Inferior Grade Quintessence Gathering Pills.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen could buy Superior Grade Spirit Gathering Pearls. He must have brought more Spirit Stones from the lower realm than them.
A few people looked around, sizing up Xiao Chen. No one knew what they were thinking.
Zhuo Yushi invited warmly, "That's right, Xiao Chen, we just accepted an escort mission. It will take us half a month to complete. It is very safe. Do you want to come with us?"
"There's no need. I accepted a mission to kill loose cultivators. If there is an opportunity in the future, let's work together again."
Half a month was too long, and the reward would not be high. Xiao Chen did not want to accept such a mission. So, he waved his hand and rejected the other party's invitation.
When Zhuo Yushi and the others heard this, they all revealed astonished expressions.
"Why did you accept a mission to kill loose cultivators? Although the reward is high, it is very dangerous. Most experienced disciples would not dare to accept it," Zhuo Yushi said.
Loose cultivators were normally vicious and merciless. They had killed countless people and lived everywhere. Loose cultivators had rich combat experience and liked to do things as they pleased. They lived in blood and fire for a long time and were all people who did not fear death.
The competition in the sect was fierce, but it was rare for someone to die. Sect disciples compared to rogue cultivators.
There was a clear difference in aura between sect disciples and loose cultivators. Missions to kill loose cultivators were usually completed by experienced inner sect disciples working in groups of two or three.
Zhuo Yushi said a lot, hoping that Xiao Chen would change his mind and join them on the escort mission.
"I have made up my mind. I'll take my leave first."
Xiao Chen was very clear on his own strength. He did not want to say anything more, so he took his leave.
"Brother Zhuo, don't try to persuade him. If he wants to die, why stop him?"
"We have just arrived in the Kunlun Realm. How can we risk our lives so quickly? We have to accumulate our strength first."
"This fellow overestimates himself. If he were really powerful, he would be like Gui Wu and Situ Gang, forming a new faction. He would not need to hand over the Spirit Gathering Pearls to Gui Wu."
As they discussed the matter, they all revealed disdainful expressions as they watched Xiao Chen leave. They all felt that he was seeking his own death.
Zhuo Yushi also looked somewhat displeased. He had tried to persuade Xiao Chen nicely, but this Xiao Chen did not appreciate it at all.
Since ancient times, sages and sages had always been lonely. The biggest reason was probably that no one could understand them.
Xiao Chen listened to everyone's words, but he didn't even have the thought of refuting them.
…
After arriving at Sky Mound City through the teleportation formation, Xiao Chen spent some Spirit Stones to obtain the information and whereabouts of that group of loose cultivators from an organization that sold information.
That group of loose cultivators had a total of seven people. They were all middle-stage Inferior Grade Martial Monarchs. The leader was a peak Inferior Grade Martial Monarch. He had even consumed the priceless Quintessence Gathering Pill on the black market.
These seven people frequently committed crimes in the nearby provinces. They were wanted by several provinces, earning themselves the nickname of the Seven Black Wind Killers. Their infamy spread far and wide in the nearby provinces.
Loose cultivators were extremely crafty. The Seven Black Wind Killers were even more so. Several times, the true inheritors of the large sects or elders went to capture them.
These people would scatter when they heard the news, fleeing in all directions, not wanting to fight. Even when they sent inner sect disciples, none of them returned. This gave the various large sects a headache.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. He had not expected this group of loose cultivators to have such a reputation. The danger of this trip was probably much higher than he had imagined.
…
The waning moon disappeared, and the stars disappeared. The night was dark; one could not even see their fingers when they stretched out their hands.
The Feng Clan, one of the four great clans of Dingshui City, was brightly lit. The entire residence was under martial law. Guards patrolled the large residence as though it was about to face a great enemy.
Half a month ago, the other two great clans of the city, the Tang Clan and the Liu Clan, were completely slaughtered by that group of loose cultivators. Women, old, and young all died miserably.
Furthermore, the Seven Black Wind Killers announced that they would return in half a month. This made the entire Feng Clan very uneasy. They feared that they would suffer the same fate as the previous two clans.
All the elites of the Feng Clan gathered in the great hall. Including the Feng Clan's Clan Head, there were a total of five Inferior Grade Martial Monarchs, twenty-odd Martial Kings, and several hundred Martial Saints.
However, no one felt safe. Everyone knew that if the Seven Black Wind Killers really came, they would not be able to do anything with their strength.
The Feng Clan's Clan Head was a middle-aged man in his forties. He had a worried expression on his face as he muttered to himself, "I wonder if the Haotian Sect has received our mission request?"
However, after thinking about it, the Feng Clan's Clan Head felt that the chances were slim. The true inheritors would definitely not come. The reward that the Feng Clan's Clan Head offered would not attract many veteran disciples. Even if one or two came, they would not be of much use.
No matter how the Feng Clan's Clan Head thought about it, it was a hopeless situation.
"Ha ha ha! Who is the Feng Clan's Clan Head? Hand over all your women and Spirit Stones, and we, the Seven Black Wind Killers, will give you a quick death!"
As the Feng Clan's Clan Head pondered, arrogant laughter came from the distance. The voice was coarse and contained a killing Qi that made everyone uncomfortable.
"They are here!"
The expressions of everyone in the hall changed. Panic flashed in their eyes. The hands holding their weapons even trembled slightly.
The Seven Black Wind Killers were infamous. Their methods were cruel. Before the battle even started, they already put a lot of pressure on everyone's hearts.
Five minutes passed. However, after the Seven Black Wind Killers laughed, they still did not appear. This made everyone feel suspicious.
Based on the earlier voice, the Seven Black Wind Killers were already less than five kilometers away. How could they not be here yet?
The Feng Clan's Clan Head thought of a possibility. He grasped his sword tightly and said, "Let's go out and take a look!"
The group left the great hall and looked up. They saw a tall building in front. A young bladesman dressed in white stood calmly on the roof of the building. His appearance could not be seen clearly.
In front of him were seven black-clothed men radiating ferocious auras and surging killing Qi. They stood on the roof of a building opposite.
The seven black-clothed men exuded a heavy stench of blood. That was a bone-deep killing Qi that could not be washed away no matter what.
The person in the lead had only one left eye. The other was a grayish-white right eye. There was also a scarlet scar around the eye socket. At a glance, it looked like a bloody hole.
This was extremely horrifying. If one were a timid person, they would not even be able to look them in the eye. Fear before the battle even started would cause one to lose their composure.
"Where did this brat come from? How dare he block our way?" Beside the one-eyed man, a man who was as skinny as a monkey and had a wretched look in his eyes shouted.
These words contained a baleful aura. As the sound waves drifted over, they tried to enter Xiao Chen's mind.
Xiao Chen's expression did not change. The Mental Energy in his sea of consciousness surged like waves as he said coldly, "So what if I block your way?"
His voice was also imbued with his powerful mind power, and the sound waves rumbled. As the sound waves surged, they clashed with the skinny man's voice and easily broke the killing Qi in his words.
The sound waves did not stop and continued forward. The skinny man grunted and took a step back, suffering a small disadvantage at Xiao Chen's hands.
When the leader, the one-eyed man, saw this scene, he smiled sinisterly and said, "You are quite capable. Brat, which sect are you from? After you die, I will send your head back."
"I am the Haotian Sect inner sect disciple, Xiao Chen. My name is Xiao Chen, and my name is Chen." Xiao Chen said unhurriedly, "However, I'm afraid you will not be able to obtain my head. You'd better lend me your head!"
Xiao Chen's unhurried speech gave off a feeling of laziness at first, causing others to lower their guard.
However, Xiao Chen said the last word cleanly and without any hesitation. By the time they reacted and Xiao Chen finished speaking, Xiao Chen had already left.
"Oh no!" The one-eyed man's expression changed as he shouted, "Old Seven, be careful!"
In the quiet night, there was no moon or stars. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the sound of punches came from the wind.
It was Xiao Chen who executed the Azure Dragon Tail Whip. He moved in an intense arc in the air, heading for the weakest of the seven. Then, he charged at lightning speed at the weakest person of the seven.
When that person sensed Xiao Chen's sudden attack, although he was astonished, he did not panic. This showed his rich combat experience.
That person's right ear twitched slightly as he listened carefully to the sound of the wind. Then, he reacted quickly. Without hesitation, he turned his body and punched at Xiao Chen.
"Bang!"
When the two fists collided, there was an explosion of surging shock waves. A strong wind blew everywhere, making it difficult to keep one's eyes open.
That person did not move at all. He watched as Xiao Chen's figure slowly disappeared into the strong wind. He smiled coldly and said, "Insignificant tricks. Our Seven Black Wind Killers have killed countless inner sect disciples like you."
"Is that so?"
A voice came from above him. He felt flustered for no reason. When he looked up, he discovered that there was actually another Xiao Chen above him.
Without giving that person any time to react, Xiao Chen circulated all the Vital Qi in his body and executed the Dragon Claw Fist's Breaking Armor Fist, forming a sharp shockwave.
Xiao Chen broke through that person's protective Quintessence and struck the Tianmen Acupoint on his head. This was one of the fatal acupoints of the human body.
Blood leaked out of that person's mouth as he died on the spot.
Everything happened in the time it took for a spark to fly. In just a few breaths, the weakest person was killed by Xiao Chen.
When the others looked carefully, they discovered that the figure hidden in the wind was just a clone.
"You are seeking death!"
The Seven Black Wind Killers moved unhindered everywhere, living a free and unfettered life. What kind of storm had they not seen before? Even the true inheritors, elders, and administrators of the sect could not do anything to them.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen managed to take down one of them in just one exchange. Furthermore, that person was just an inner sect disciple of the Haotian Sect.
The one-eyed man shouted and released his killing Qi. He drew a cavalry saber and sent out a dazzling saber light as he hacked down.
The other five reacted quickly as well. As they moved, they blocked off all of Xiao Chen's paths of retreat.
In the blink of an eye, they formed a tight encirclement, trapping Xiao Chen inside.
These people blocked off Xiao Chen's paths of retreat. They wanted to force him to clash head-on with the one-eyed man, not allowing him to escape.
However, did Xiao Chen need to retreat?
Xiao Chen smiled gently and flipped his hand. The Lunar Shadow Saber appeared from the Universe Ring. He grasped the saber hilt with his right hand, and a light came out of the scabbard.
"Xiu!
Xiu! Xiu! "With every step Xiao Chen took in the air, he left behind an afterimage. Each afterimage sent out a different saber strike.
