However, he did not know that the moment he executed the might of this saber strike, a sea of lightning suddenly formed and exploded on his body, blasting him into the air.
"Die!"
A strand of saber light flew out from somewhere in the sea of lightning. It was as fast as lightning, disappearing in a flash.
The dark clouds scattered, and the full moon in the sky peeked out. The moonlight happened to illuminate this scene. A scarlet light shot out, and Lone Wolf's head flew off.
Xiao Chen reappeared and spun around. He sheathed his saber and caught the head. Seeing the headless corpse on the ground, Xiao Chen's fatigued body heaved a sigh of relief.
"I finally killed him!"
Outside Heavenly Water City, Qiu Yi watched as Lone Wolf slowly fell over. His anxious face relaxed, and he revealed a faint smile.
The others panted heavily as well. They all had wounds on their bodies. As for their Quintessence, they had already drained it long ago. They had consumed all the Medicinal Pills they could.
Even if they had Peak Grade Medicinal Pills, they would not be able to replenish their Quintessence immediately. They had consumed too many Medicinal Pills in a short period of time and developed a resistance to them.
Qiu Yi sheathed his sword and looked at the similarly fatigued Zhuo Ping. He said, "Both of us exhausted ourselves today. After we recover tomorrow, we can decide who gets the proof of the mission. How about that?"
Zhuo Ping nodded gently and did not say anything. She did not have much Quintessence in her body, and her condition had deteriorated significantly. Earlier, she had relied on her Quintessence to fight Lone Wolf.
Now that she relaxed, she no longer had any fighting spirit. She could only decide tomorrow.
Everything was going according to plan. Qiu Yi smiled faintly and walked over to Lone Wolf's corpse, feeling very satisfied. Then, he stretched out his hand to remove Lone Wolf's mask.
"Let's see what exactly you look like!"
Qiu Yi waved his hand and removed Lone Wolf's black mask. However, when he saw Lone Wolf's face, the smile on his face froze.
A face that Qiu Yi could not imagine appeared under the mask. He cried out hoarsely, "How can this be?!"
When the others saw the strange situation, they quickly came over to take a look. They all exclaimed in shock, "Zhong Li! How can it be him? How can this be?! "
"Chi!
Under everyone's astonished gazes, Lone Wolf's corpse shrank until it finally became the corpse of a white wolf.
Zhuo Ping's expression turned grave as she said, "We were tricked. This is the External Incarnation unique to the Half-Fiend Race. The incarnation's strength is no different from the main body. It is very difficult to cultivate. I did not expect Lone Wolf to learn it."
Qiu Yi's expression turned cold as he sent out a sword Qi. With a 'sou', the white wolf on the ground was sliced in half.
"That Xiao Chen must have found out long ago. Let's hurry back!"
Qiu Yi's eyes were filled with killing intent and his entire being was terrifyingly cold.
After planning for more than half a month and meticulously preparing, he was actually tricked at the last moment. At this moment, his mood could be said to be as terrible as it could get.
The group of people had consumed too much True Essence, so they didn't dare to use Qi to fly. They could only desperately run towards the city.
Halfway there, Qiu Yi said, "It will definitely take some time before a victor is decided. We still have a chance."
Indeed, it was as Qiu Yi said. When the group arrived at the City Lord's Residence, they happened to see Xiao Chen removing a spatial ring from a headless corpse.
When Qiu Yi saw the headless corpse, he was stunned at first. Then, he shouted, "Xiao Chen, how bold of you! You discovered that it was Lone Wolf's clone long ago, yet you still dared to trick us."
The moment Qiu Yi spoke, he accused Xiao Chen of cheating, trying to use reason to pressure Xiao Chen.
Long ago, Xiao Chen had expected this group of people to rush over. He searched Lone Wolf's body unhurriedly and found a secret manual. Before everyone's envious gazes, he took it.
"It was not me who tricked you. It was Lone Wolf who tricked you. Full Moon Pavilion's Qiu Yi, don't make a mistake."
Xiao Chen spoke calmly in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing.
Qiu Yi felt angry in his heart. He wished that he could slap Xiao Chen to death. However, he had exhausted too much Essence, so it was not convenient for him to make a move. He could only say coldly, "Xiao Chen, according to the rules, no matter who obtains the proof of completion, Lone Wolf's treasures have to be handed over to us."
Xiao Chen smiled disapprovingly, "Whose rule? Since when did you ask me? Since when did I agree to it?"
When Qiu Yi saw Xiao Chen's attitude, not caring about him at all, he could not help but feel stifled, unable to say anything.
"Xiao Chen, what are you pretending for? You already got what you wanted, yet you are still trying to act innocent. Hurry up and hand over Lone Wolf's treasures. Otherwise, you can forget about leaving this City Lord's Residence today."
"Right, that's right. Hurry up and hand over Lone Wolf's treasures. We don't need your proof of completion."
"We have already treated you well enough. You can take the proof of completion and leave. However, you must leave behind Lone Wolf's treasures."
The people from the surrounding sects all spoke in an irritated tone. They had worked so hard for so long. They did not want to end up empty-handed.
Furthermore, Xiao Chen was alone and did not have a high cultivation. If not for the fact that he was a Haotian Sect disciple, they would not even give him the proof of completion.
Qiu Yi and Zhuo Ping exchanged glances. They understood each other's intentions from their gazes.
"Xiao Chen, on account that you are a Haotian Sect disciple, I will not make things difficult for you. As long as you leave behind Lone Wolf's spatial ring and that secret manual, you can leave, "Qiu Yi spoke frankly with assurance.
Qiu Yi spoke frankly with assurance. This was already his final concession. If Xiao Chen still did not know what was good for him, then Xiao Chen could not blame him for being ruthless.
Xiao Chen smiled coldly to himself. This group of people is really funny. They were fooled by Lone Wolf's clones and did not obtain anything. Unexpectedly, they came over to extort him. Furthermore, they were very magnanimous, acting like they were showing mercy.
What did it have to do with them that I killed Lone Wolf alone? What sophistry!
Xiao Chen stepped forward expressionlessly. He looked at the various sect cultivators hiding their murderous intent and said sullenly, "I was the one who killed Lone Wolf. It is impossible for you to take anything from me. I advise you to give up on this thought."
Qiu Yi released his murderous intent without hiding it at all. He stared at Xiao Chen with a sinister gaze and smiled coldly. "So, you are saying that you are not going to hand it over?"
Zhuo Ping's pretty face also turned sullen. She said, "What is the point of speaking so much nonsense with him? Just cripple him, and we can just take the things and leave."
This woman is really vicious. She looks so good for nothing, Xiao Chen thought to himself, feeling that it was a pity.
As Xiao Chen looked at the crowd that could not wait to charge over, he laughed loudly and said, "I really want to know what gives you the courage to threaten me like this despite your Veritable Essence Energy being almost drained!"
"Our Quintessence is exhausted, but so is yours. Do you think we are air? Could it be that you can defeat so many of us by yourself?! "a person said disdainfully as he held a sharp saber in his hand and looked at Xiao Chen.
"Congratulations, you are right. In my eyes, you are indeed not even worth air."
Xiao Chen smiled coldly and charged at the person who spoke. As he ran, his aura flourished. Vital Qi surged in his body, causing the ground to tremble.
"Bang!" The two cultivators in front of that person were knocked into the air by Xiao Chen. Half the bones in their bodies shattered.
That person was horrified. When he saw Xiao Chen suddenly charging at him, he did not know what to do. When Xiao Chen arrived in front of him, he swung his saber.
"Ka ca!"
Xiao Chen used his palm as a saber, and a strong wind howled. When the palm saber struck that person's wrist, the sound of bones breaking resounded. The treasure saber fell to the ground with a 'huang dang' sound.
Before that person could cry out in pain, Xiao Chen landed a palm strike on that person's chest. He used less than thirty percent of his one and a half tons of Vital Qi, breaking that person's ribs and sending him flying back a hundred meters.
A strange look flashed in the eyes of Qiu Yi and Zhuo Ping. After they reacted, they circulated the remaining Quintessence in their bodies and charged at Xiao Chen.
After the initial panic, the others roared ferociously and sent out their remaining Quintessence. They sent out several dozen beams of energy at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen crossed his arms and smiled coldly. He materialized the stance of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. When the sword Qi and saber Qi struck his arms, they gave off 'dang dang dang' sounds.
Two especially sharp sword Qi flew at Xiao Chen amid the shock waves. They were the peak inner sect disciples of the Full Moon Pavilion, Qiu Yi, and the Thousand Mystery Sect, Zhuo Ping.
"Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon!"
Xiao Chen spread out his arms, and the aura that he had stored up erupted. Like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, he sent the two flying.
Cultivators relied mainly on Quintessence. If a cultivator exhausted all their Quintessence, they would not be able to bring out their full strength, no matter how capable they were.
Right now, the group of sect elite disciples in front of Xiao Chen was in such a situation. When they met with Xiao Chen, who had a strong physical body, they could only get beaten up.
"Damn it!"
Qiu Yi vomited a mouthful of blood, feeling very sullen in his heart. He had not expected a minor character from the Haotian Sect to beat him into such a sorry state.
Qiu Yi smashed his right palm on the ground, not caring about overdrawing on his Quintessence. His sword danced, giving off a bright light. He wanted to use technique to break force, using exquisite Sword Techniques to defeat Xiao Chen.
Unfortunately, Qiu Yi was too naive. When the difference in strength was too great, no matter how exquisite a Sword Technique was, without Quintessence to rely on, it would just be for show.
Xiao Chen took a step forward and kicked. A strong wind blew and scattered Qiu Yi's Sword Technique. Then, Xiao Chen kicked Qiu Yi's face back.
Qiu Yi's handsome face immediately contorted into a sorry state.
"Xiu!"
Just at this moment, an exceptionally sharp killing Qi flew over from behind Xiao Chen at an incredible speed.
The Thousand Mystery Sect's Zhuo Ping took advantage of the time when Xiao Chen was distracted by Qiu Yi to sneak behind him. Then, she found an excellent angle to launch a sneak attack.
The thin sword flickered with a cold light. The angle was tricky. Soon, it would stab into Xiao Chen's spine. A sinister expression appeared on Zhuo Ping's face.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly. He had already noticed the other party with his Spiritual Sense long ago. She really thought that her sneak attack had succeeded.
Xiao Chen nimbly turned around and brushed past that fatal thin sword. Then, he clenched his right fist and punched Zhuo Ping's pretty face without any tenderness for the fairer sex.
Zhuo Ping cried out miserably as she held her collapsed nose. Then, she fell to the ground in pain, rolling a few times before stopping.
When the other elite disciples of the various sects saw their two leaders end up in such a state, they looked at Xiao Chen and could not help but take a few steps back.
