Hu Hai's expression changed slightly as he exclaimed, "A high-ranked Demonic Beast! This is bad. A high-ranked Demonic Beast is as strong as a half-Sage. Spirit Water City will not be able to hold on. "
Hu Hai was not the only one. The expressions of the people on the city walls, who saw that the situation had stabilized, changed as well.
Xiao Chen raised his head and frowned slightly. That Demonic Beast had only revealed half of its body, but it already had such a horrifying aura. What would happen if it fully revealed itself?
Just as everyone started to feel fear in their hearts and wanted to retreat, a red beam of light streaked across the sky like a meteor, leaving a long trail of flames behind it.
"Boom!"
The red beam of light struck the high-ranked Demonic Beast's head at lightning speed, and its hill-sized upper body exploded.
The high-ranked Demonic Beast that everyone felt despair getting blasted to death so easily. No one dared to believe it.
However, Hu Hai's face lit up with joy. He smiled and said, "First Senior Sister is here. There is no need to be afraid now."
Xiao Chen looked up and saw a beautiful, purple-clad girl standing on the back of a green bird in the sky above Spirit Water City.
The corner of the purple-clothed woman's mouth gently pulled into a spirited smile as she put away the large bow in her hand.
"Shui Lingling, we are saved! First Senior Sister is here!"
When the Haotian Sect disciples on the city walls saw the green bird flying in the sky, they immediately cheered.
Shui Lingling was one of the seven giants of the Martial Sky Continent's human race's younger generation, the strongest expert of the younger generation in the eighteen southern provinces, and the inner sect enforcer of the Bushin Palace. All sorts of glory and glory gave this mysterious girl boundless prestige in the Haotian Sect. She was worshipped by everyone.
The moment she appeared, the morale of the disciples on the city walls soared. They all became excited and leaped off the city walls to launch a counterattack.
Xiao Chen casually glanced at her before withdrawing his gaze. Then, he focused on the Demonic Beasts in front of him. As he swung his saber, he calmly chopped the Demonic Beasts in front of him in half.
With a glance, Xiao Chen discovered that Jun Si seemed to be a little distracted not far away. Her attention was focused on the green bird in the sky, which had a threatening spiritual aura.
Four or five demonic beasts with flashing black scales broke through her sword curtain and attacked her vitals. If she was hit, even with her protective primordial spirit, she would inevitably be injured.
Furthermore, these Magical Beasts contained Demonic Qi within their bodies. Once a wound was infected by the Demonic Qi, even if it wasn't a serious injury, it would still be difficult to recover.
Xiao Chen sent out a chain of saber Qi, clearing the demonic beasts in front of him temporarily. Then, he stretched out his hand and sent out four strands of saber Qi to help Jun Si kill the four Demonic Beasts that found an opening.
"Junior Brother Xiao Chen, many thanks!" Jun Si returned to her senses and thanked Xiao Chen softly.
Smiling faintly, Xiao Chen didn't say anything else and continued to focus his attention on the Magical Beasts on his side.
"Wow!"
Suddenly, startled cries came from behind. The disciples who had rushed down to prepare for a counterattack all looked at the sky in astonishment.
Xiao Chen took some time to look, and his eyelids twitched involuntarily. In the gloomy, horrifying sky,
A huge green spirit bird spread its wings and soared in the sky, carrying Shui Lingling with it. Then, it flashed in the sky and directly entered the space crack.
How bold! They actually dared to kill their way into the lair of these demonic beasts. No wonder all the cultivators present gaped, not daring to say a word.
"Half-Sage, half-step Martial Sage … is this the strength of a half-Sage?"
A fervent look flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes as he muttered to himself.
After Shui Lingling flew into the spatial tear, the hail-like horde of demonic beasts no longer appeared.
All the cultivators advanced together and started their counterattack, clearing the battlefield.
The danger was temporarily resolved. Xiao Chen looked at the excited cultivators beside him and shook his head slightly. He stopped attacking and sheathed his Lunar Shadow Saber. Then, he slowly retreated from the crowd.
After a few leaps, he landed on the top of the city wall. Then, he closed his eyes and entered deep thought, digesting the comprehensions he gained from the earlier battle.
The clamor of the outside world had nothing to do with Xiao Chen. He was completely immersed in the profound world of Martial Techniques, his mind at peace.
Xiao Chen's white robes were stained with blood, and killing Qi lingered in the surroundings. However, the closed-eyed Xiao Chen gave off a sense of peace and tranquility, aloof and elegant.
After an unknown period of time, Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes. A saber hummed in the depths of his eyes. His sharp gaze seemed to be able to pierce through the air.
Xiao Chen's aura became even sharper. His delicate face radiated a sharpness. The tyranny unique to a bladesman unconsciously leaked out.
Xiao Chen's white robes fluttered loudly, kicking up a strong wind. The air even turned heavier.
Xiao Chen casually waved his hand, and a strand of purple saber Qi drew a one-kilometer-long arc in the air, looking like a crescent moon.
Even though the saber Qi was lengthened by a hundred times, its density and might did not decrease at all. It was still as sharp as it was at the start.
If anyone else were here, they would be greatly astonished. At this moment, Xiao Chen's saber intent had advanced to seventy-percent-comprehended.
Furthermore, it was a perfect seventy-percent-comprehended saber intent. He could control it as he pleased.
Xiao Chen withdrew his hand slightly, and that strand of saber Qi that looked like a demonic moon instantly vanished. That tyrannical aura that looked down on everyone returned to his body with a 'buzz'.
Xiao Chen returned to his ordinary self, not revealing any pride at all. He said indifferently, "Seventy-percent-comprehended saber intent is also a Great Perfection saber intent. Saber intent is stronger than sword intent in the first place. If Yun Feiyu were to compete in aura with me now, I would be able to defeat him in an instant. "
However, Xiao Chen suddenly remembered that he had used the Golden Savage Ox to knock out Hua Yunfei's group in the Savage Beast Forest. He did not know if they could survive this chaos.
It would be best if they all died. That way, he would not have to do anything and could save himself a lot of trouble.
"Junior Brother Xiao, why are you back so early?"
There were already not many Demonic Beasts in front. Hu Hai and the others had expended a lot of Quintessence, so they stopped.
Wang Cheng said indifferently, "Junior Brother Xiao, it might be due to insufficient Quintessence. That is understandable."
Xiao Chen saw some hostility in Wang Cheng's eyes. He knew that Wang Cheng was now treating him as a competitor.
However, Hu Hai remained silent. When he looked at Xiao Chen again, he discovered that Xiao Chen seemed to have changed again. However, when he thought about it carefully, he could not figure out what had changed.
Hu Hai increasingly felt that Xiao Chen was unfathomable, unfathomable.
However, Hu Hai had always been a broad-minded person. He was very confident in his own strength, so he did not feel that there was anything wrong.
Hu Hai smiled casually and said, "Xiao Chen, when First Senior Sister comes out, I'll introduce her to you. Our mission this time will be a success."
The group chatted casually for a while, and the dark clouds in the sky slowly scattered. The sky turned increasingly pale. In the end, the sky became clear and bright.
The whirlpool-shaped spatial crack slowly shrank and closed up. However, Shui Lingling still did not appear. The group could not help but worry.
"Xiu!"
Just as the spatial crack closed up completely, a green light flashed from it. A resonant bird cry resounded everywhere. The green bird carried Shui Lingling out safely.
When Xiao Chen saw this scene, he could not help but exclaim in shock, "This green bird is really miraculous. Not only is its Spiritual Energy overwhelming, but it is also very fast. Unexpectedly, it can shrink in an instant."
Jun Si smiled and said, "That is a Rank 9 Spirit Bird that the Sect Master bestowed on First Senior Sister. It is called the Profound Sun Bird. I heard that it has the bloodline of an Immortal Beast. It has the extreme Yang Profound Sun True Flame in its body. It is very incredible in combat."
As Jun Si spoke, a light flashed, and a purple-clad girl appeared on the city wall. A palm-sized green bird perched on her shoulder, looking very cute.
"Greetings, First Senior Sister!"
Hu Hai and the others greeted respectfully with cupped-fist salutes, not daring to be slow.
Shui Lingling was the top true inheritor of the Haotian Province. She was like a resplendent pearl, giving off a dazzling light. Her skin was crystalline, and a faint fragrance lingered around her, intoxicating everyone.
She stood tall and slender, like a purple lotus flower blooming. Her aura was extraordinary, and her beauty could not be profaned.
Her expression was extremely calm, not showing any fluctuations at all. She calmly looked at the four below and asked in a pleasing voice, "Junior Brother Hu, have you killed the Spirit Beast?"
Hu Hai had been prepared for this long ago. He smiled casually and handed over the golden ox horn.
Shui Lingling closed her eyes, and her lily-white hand, which held the golden ox horn, gave off a faint light. After a while, she opened her eyes and said, "That's right. The baleful energy, Spiritual Energy, and baleful aura are still there. They were not bought from the auction house. You will be coming with me to the Savage Battlefield."
The four revealed faint smiles on their faces, feeling very excited in their hearts. Hu Hai received the golden ox horn and said, "Many thanks, First Senior Sister."
Then, Hu Hai pointed to Xiao Chen and said, "First Senior Sister, this is Xiao Chen. He is a peak inner sect disciple comparable to Yun Feiyu. This time, he contributed the most to killing the Golden Savage Ox. Can we bring him to the Savage Battlefield as well?"
Wang Cheng seemed to be prepared. After Hu Hai finished speaking, he said without hesitation, "Senior Brother Hu, there is no need. Junior Brother Xiao is only a Medial Grade Martial Monarch. It would be too dangerous for him to go with us."
Jun Si said in shock, "Senior Brother Wang, why are you saying that? Didn't we already agree on this?"
Chen Xiao's eyes flickered. He wanted to say something to help. However, when he thought about it, he remembered Xiao Chen's performance in this Demonic Calamity. So, for some reason, he kept his mouth shut.
Ignoring the shocked gazes of the others, Wang Cheng continued, "The Savage Battlefield is filled with danger. Even we do not dare to say that we will be able to escape unscathed. I think Junior Brother Xiao should wait for three years. This is for his own good."
Shui Lingling acted like she did not hear what Wang Cheng said. She looked at Xiao Chen interestedly and said, "So, you are Xiao Chen. It looks like you really used the Monarch Blood Grass and the half drop of Dragon Marrow."
Aside from Chen Xiao, the others were all shocked when they heard this. They had not expected that Shui Lingling, who was in the distant Bushin Palace, would remember Xiao Chen.
Hu Hai asked in a probing manner, "First Senior Sister, do you know Xiao Chen?"
Shui Lingling shook her head and replied, "I do not. However, he is now famous throughout the entire Central Province. First, Nuan Muyun and Wang Meng made a bet. In the end, they both lost to him.
"On the Proud Son of Heaven Ranking, he remains in the top one thousand. Until now, no one has been able to shake his position. Because of his existence, several elders of the Nine Ranks of the Great Families and Noble Clans have complained to me. "
