When Xiao Chen saw the final person approaching him, his expression remained as calm as still water. He did not panic at all as he put away the Void Projection Painting and summoned out the Lunar Shadow Saber.
Xiao Chen used the Strength Character Formula to drive Soaring Dragon. A vast aura spread out boundlessly from his body. A dragon roar resounded, and a strong wind blew.
The surging aura was like a snowy mountain collapsing, inspiring fear. The black-clad masked man actually paused for a moment in midair.
"Hidden Dragon in the Depths, Soaring Dragon in the Sky. It is fine if it does not move, but when it does, it soars into the clouds and looks down on the mountains and rivers."
Xiao Chen gently took a step forward, and a boundless energy burst forth. In that instant, a thousand-meter-long crack appeared in the ground, splitting the flat ground in half.
When Xiao Chen drew his saber, it gave off a resplendent and dazzling light. He soared up like a Blue Dragon. With thirty-sixfold combat prowess, the roar of this Blue Dragon could shatter a Martial Sage's courage.
Xiao Chen's momentum was even more unblockable. A horrifying wound appeared on the masked man's chest, and he vomited a large mouthful of blood. His fate was unknown as he flew back ten kilometers.
Although all this took a long time to describe, Xiao Chen had indeed blocked the attacks of the five Medial Grade Martial Sages in an instant. He only needed to raise his hand a few times to block these insufferably arrogant five people.
Xiao Chen forcefully suppressed the aftereffects of using the Strength Character Formula and took out the puppet snake. Then, he picked up the somewhat stunned Ying Qiong and quickly entered the puppet snake.
After blocking for a while, there should be enough time for the puppet snake to move.
Xiao Chen had beaten back five Medial Grade Martial Sages with a wave of his hand as a half-Sage. If he told others about this, no one would believe him. However, it had happened right now.
The five masked black-clad men recovered slightly. Then, they gathered together with furious expressions.
Between them was a hole as wide as a water bucket. It was pitch-black and bottomless. They exchanged glances and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
With their abilities, they could split mountains and split rocks. They could even overturn rivers and seas in a small area. However, drilling into the ground with the agility of animals was a little too much for them.
Of course, cultivators who practiced special cultivation techniques did not exist. There would always be some extraordinary people in the world. However, it was clear that these five were not such people.
"Puppet snake, this guy actually possesses such an almost extinct artifact. This is going to be difficult."
"With great difficulty, I managed to drag some of the elders of the clan over, but that girl still managed to escape."
The five of them were a little flustered. If they allowed Ying Qiong to leave this time, once the matter in the depths of the starry sky was settled, all the Elders would return. What awaited them then would not be a good outcome.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind was heard. The expert who had killed the old lady who served Ying Qiong came to the entrance of the cave. After listening to what had happened, his face slowly turned gloomy.
The old man said angrily, "What a descendant of the Qing Emperor. How dare you ruin my plan like this!"
"Third Elder, what should we do? Now that we cannot kill the Second Young Miss, what should we do?"
The yellow-robed old man said calmly, "I will think of a way to suppress this matter. Since I made a move, naturally, I am prepared for failure. You all can return first."
When the five black-robed men saw that the old man was so calm, not flustered at all, they could not help but heave a sigh of relief. After respectfully receiving their orders, they turned around and prepared to leave.
"Pu ci!" An extremely fast saber light flashed, and five heads flew into the air. Their eyes filled with disbelief.
Unexpectedly, the yellow-robed old man's plan was to silence them by killing them. Even more unexpectedly, this yellow-robed old man was a grandmaster-level Martial Sage.
If they had known, they would have kept an eye out and not casually shown their backs to this person.
A figure descended. It was the handsome man who had stood beside Ying Qiong during the Sage War. He frowned slightly and looked at the cave under his feet. He said, "Second Sister, you are really lucky. You paid such a huge price to lay this trap. Unexpectedly, an unexpected person broke it so easily."
The yellow-robed old man sighed softly and said, "First Young Master, I will deal with the aftermath. I will not implicate you in this matter."
The young man entered deep thought. After a while, he stretched out his right hand, and a small bird appeared in his palm. He raised his hand and let go, and the small bird flew into the cave.
"That White Robed Bladesman should not have any combat prowess for the time being. If my Wind Chasing Bird can find them, we should still have a chance."
The yellow-robed old man's eyes lit up. He said, "In that case, I will go and make preparations now."
The young man raised his hand and said, "There's no need. Just focus on dealing with the aftermath. I will deal with the rest. If we make a mistake, we will lose our Luck. If we do our best, we will be going against the heavens. I will just send some people over. "
Outside Qin City, in a forest one thousand five hundred kilometers away, the calm soil suddenly exploded, and a black snake leaped out.
The mechanism under the snake's belly opened, and two figures jumped out.
Tiny scarlet lines covered Xiao Chen's entire body, appearing and disappearing as if his skin would burst.
Xiao Chen did his best to suppress the aftereffects of using the Strength Character Formula and put the puppet snake into the Universe Ring. Then, he put on his hood again and stared at the cave with a grave expression.
Before Ying Qiong's somewhat doubtful gaze, Xiao Chen suddenly made a move after a while. A sharp saber Qi shot out from his fingertip.
"Ka ca!"
The Wind Chasing Bird, which was less than half the size of a palm, was chopped in half by this purple saber Qi the moment it emerged.
"This is the Wind Chasing Bird that my Big Brother, Ying Fan, raised. It really is him!"
Ying Qiong said with a somewhat gloomy expression. If he had only guessed earlier, now that he saw this unique Wind Chasing Bird, there was no need for any evidence to prove anything.
After waiting for a while and seeing that no Wind Chasing Bird came out, Xiao Chen relaxed. The skin on his face, which was hidden under his hood, slowly split open and blood flowed out.
"Miss Ying, you are already safe. Can we continue with our agreement?" Pain spread through Xiao Chen like needles pricking him. He felt the aftereffects that he had been suppressing were like a flood or a ferocious beast, ready to erupt at any moment.
Xiao Chen's voice trembled slightly as he spoke.
Ying Qiong felt this was strange. However, he did not hesitate this time and handed the three brocade boxes to Xiao Chen. When he saw Xiao Chen's right hand stretch out from his sleeve, he was stunned.
"Your hand …"
Xiao Chen's originally smooth skin split open, and blood leaked out. It looked incredibly horrifying.
Ying Qiong stretched out his hand and blew out a strong wind. Xiao Chen's hood immediately fell off, and Ying Qiong let out a startled cry. He could not help covering his mouth with his hands, and goosebumps broke out all over his body.
Now, Xiao Chen looked very frightening. His face was covered in spiderweb-like lines of blood. That was the blood that leaked out when his skin split open.
Xiao Chen put away the brocade boxes and covered himself with his hood again. Then, he tossed the other half of the core painting piece to Ying Qiong. He smiled bitterly and said, "Sorry, I scared you. It's just a superficial wound. I will be fine after some rest."
Compared to when he executed the Strength Character Formula in the past, the situation this time was much better. He still remembered the first time he executed the Strength Character Formula in the Sky Dome Realm. He had instantly overdrawn all his combat prowess; he could not even stand up.
Being able to last for so long this time already far surpassed Xiao Chen's expectations. At this rate, he should be able to execute the Strength Character Formula once after he attained a Rank 4 body.
A light flashed on his forehead, and a scarlet throne appeared on a scarlet cloud. Xiao Chen took a deep breath and endured the intense pain. Then, he leaped up and finally sat on the throne.
A scarlet light flickered, and the Massacre Throne carried Xiao Chen into the distance.
"Hu chi!"
A pretty figure holding a wooden umbrella descended from the sky and stood on the speeding scarlet cloud. Xiao Chen glanced at her. For some reason, Ying Qiong followed him again.
However, even moving his lips now caused intense pain. Xiao Chen could not be bothered to say anything, so he let her follow him.
In any case, if the other party wanted to take advantage of this to take his life, the Haotian Emperor's will clone would turn the other party into dust the moment Xiao Chen truly felt threatened.
As the rainbow light flew, the scarlet cloud carried the throne. After flying for fifty kilometers, Xiao Chen landed it at the foot of a stone mountain.
That place was filled with all sorts of strange rocks and very few people. It was a very suitable place for recuperating and hiding from pursuers.
After landing, Xiao Chen put away the scarlet throne. Then, he spent some time using the Universe Banners to lay a restriction around this place.
Without saying a word, Xiao Chen leaped onto a stone pillar and sat down cross-legged. Then, he started to deal with the repercussions of using the Strength Character Formula without any worries.
As Ying Qiong looked at Xiao Chen on the stone pillar, her expression became uncertain, complicated. She did not know how to describe her current emotions.
She found Xiao Chen increasingly unfathomable. She could not understand or guess what kind of person he was. He was clearly selfish to the point of being cold. However, in order to make a promise, Xiao Chen risked such severe injuries to ensure her safety.
It was just like when Xiao Chen clashed head-on with Yan Shisan in the Star Grave Palace for the sake of the Spirit Fox Race woman.
At this moment, Ying Qiong did not know that the most wondrous emotion in the world of mortals was like a soft hook, slowly entering the defenses of her heart. She could no longer pull it out.
Three days. For three days, Xiao Chen endured immense pain. By relying on his strong physical body, he mostly recovered from the repercussions of using the Strength Character Formula.
The scary red mark on Xiao Chen's face also disappeared. His skin became as smooth as before. A bright light flickered in his eyes, and he gained a deeper understanding of the Strength Character Formula.
Xiao Chen stood up and spat out a mouthful of turbid Qi. Then, he put away his cloak and stretched his limbs.
The slight noise immediately startled Ying Qiong, who was seated on the stone pillar closest to him. She sat there with her eyes closed, feeling somewhat restless.
When Ying Qiong opened his eyes and saw that Xiao Chen had recovered his original appearance, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Joy flashed in his eyes.
"Young Master Xiao, many thanks for saving me this time," Ying Qiong said with a smile.
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and sized up this girl. Then, he revealed a contemplative expression. After a while, he said something that nearly made Ying Qiong vomit blood.
"I really could not tell that Miss Ying is not only intelligent and strong, but she is also very broad-minded. This Xiao is truly ashamed of my inferiority."
