The crowd in the great hall had already moved to the side, leaving a wide space for Xiao Chen and Jin Lin.
Jin Lin looked at Xiao Chen. This was a name that resounded like thunder in his ears two years ago. Aside from nervousness, he felt even more excitement. A fanatical flame slowly lit up in his eyes.
After standing still, Jin Lin said somewhat unhappily, "Senior Brother Xiao Chen, are you looking down on me that much? You are not even drawing your saber."
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Just draw your saber. You will be able to see my saber later."
Acting mysterious, Jin Lin thought to himself. He grasped the saber hilt with his broad hand and drew the scarlet saber. Then, he glared at Xiao Chen and shouted. Immediately, blood waves surged out.
Jin Lin pushed off the ground and left the ground. It was like he was standing on a surging blood wave.
Xiao Chen executed the Blood Wave Saber Technique that he was proficient in. When he executed it, each wave would be stronger than the one before. Back then, Feng Xingsheng had praised Xiao Chen's Blood Wave Saber Technique. Xiao Chen had said that Xiao Chen would not need five years to truly fight with him.
"Ka ca!"
Xiao Chen's figure flashed. Suddenly, a resonant saber hum resounded, like a treasured saber being drawn from its scabbard. The clear and melodious sound even contained the tyrannical aura of a monarch.
If one was familiar with Xiao Chen, they would know that Xiao Chen had modified his tyrannical aura of a monarch and added it to his newly comprehended Saber Dao.
Jin Lin thought he was seeing things. He clearly saw the saber appear, but why did he hear the sound of a treasured saber being drawn? A saber wind blew, and Xiao Chen brushed by at lightning speed.
"Pu ci!" Jin Lin discovered that his protective Heavenly Sage Laws broke, and an eye-catching saber mark appeared on the Battle Armor on his chest. He felt a slight chill on his chest. The saber had only broken his armor, but did not leave any wounds on him.
His heart turned pale with fright, and he quickly withdrew his move. He turned around and rolled up the blood wolf, just in time to find Xiao Chen who had circled behind him and kicked him.
It was clearly a foot, but it gave Xiao Chen the feeling of a saber light chopping down from below. The saber intent was boundless, and the sound of sabers humming filled the air. Xiao Chen could not even hold the scarlet saber in his hand stably.
By the time he swung his saber to block the kick, he discovered that it was already too late. This kick easily broke through his protective laws and left a clear saber mark on his left shoulder.
Retreat! Retreat!
It was too strange. Jin Lin hurriedly retreated. He wanted to familiarize himself with Xiao Chen's moves before coming up with a countermeasure. The blood wolf beneath his feet churned as he flew backward.
However, Xiao Chen followed closely behind. His figure flickered, and unparalleled sabers appeared everywhere. The resonant saber hum never stopped. Xiao Chen's movements were as smooth as flowing water, pleasing to the eye. However, they were filled with killing intent.
After ten moves, Jin Lin's Battle Armor had too many wounds. With a 'huang dang' sound, it shattered into pieces.
Xiao Chen's figure flashed again, and he turned his body to the side and charged at Jin Lin. He was like a huge saber, using his body as the blade and his shoulder as the tip as he chopped down from above.
"Bang!" The Heavenly Sage Law barrier in front of Jin Lin easily broke in half. The mysterious phenomenon that the Blood Wave Saber Technique created also completely scattered. Xiao Chen paled and fell to the ground, staggering.
Xiao Chen landed together with Ai Te and stood across from him. Then, he silently glanced at Jin Lin.
Xiao Chen's gaze pierced through space, and the vague form of his saber soul containing the immortal will of thunder shot out with Xiao Chen's gaze. In that instant, Jin Lin felt countless powerful sabers flying at him. In the next moment, he was pierced by thousands of sabers, dying without a complete corpse.
Jin Lin retreated continuously. He carelessly fell to the ground and touched his undamaged body. He muttered in a daze, "Didn't I die? How am I still alive? "
This scene was rather comical. To others, Jin Lin was clearly standing perfectly fine. After taking a few steps back, he muttered to himself that he was dead. The other nineteen disciples all started laughing.
Jin Lin reacted. He thought back to Xiao Chen's final glance. At that time, he had indeed thought that he had died. That feeling of death was simply too real.
Unimaginable! Unimaginable! Jin Lin stood up and looked at Xiao Chen. He felt that Xiao Chen was unfathomable, completely unfathomable.
"I concede defeat wholeheartedly. Jin Lin's Saber Techniques are indeed not worth mentioning." Jin Lin performed a cupped-fist salute, not daring to look Xiao Chen in the eye.
In that final glance, aside from the vague form of his saber soul and the immortal will of thunder, Xiao Chen had also used some of the tricks from the Qing Emperor's Drawing the Saber painting. After studying the Drawing the Saber painting for a long time, Xiao Chen had gained something.
Xiao Chen had ingeniously merged some of these techniques with his own comprehensions of Using the Will as a Saber. In the future, when he reached Great Perfection, killing someone with one glance would not be a fantasy.
Xiao Chen's original intention was not to intimidate the other party. When he saw Jin Lin's current performance, he felt that Jin Lin had met his expectations. He said, "You are already someone who died once. You can properly comprehend that final glance. You will definitely gain something."
Jin Lin remained silent, entering deep thought as he carefully pondered Xiao Chen's final words.
Han Qinghe spoke up at an appropriate time. He smiled and said, "Now, who else is still unconvinced? Feel free to challenge Senior Brother Xiao Chen in Saber Techniques."
Everyone shook their heads. After seeing Jin Lin's end, who would dare to be unconvinced by Xiao Chen?
Han Qinghe smiled in satisfaction. Then, he walked over to Xiao Chen and said somewhat apologetically, "Xiao Chen, these are extraordinary times. All the King Grade warships in the sect have been transferred to the Starry Heaven Silver Lake. We simply cannot take out a King Grade warship. I have a strengthened Sage Grade warship here. It should be able to travel in the starry heavens. "
"There is no need. I happen to have a King Grade warship."
Xiao Chen opened his mouth, and an awe-inspiring King Grade warship with a Blue Dragon carved on it appeared in the sky. It gave off a boundless and vast aura of kingship.
"The Dragon's Gate's warship!"
"It really is the Dragon's Gate's warship. Legend has it that the Qing Emperor personally forged it. The Dragon's Gate's warship is a dragon among kings. As long as the Emperor Grade warship does not appear, it can suppress all King Grade warships."
"Now that the Dragon's Gate's warship appears, we will definitely be able to return victorious. Back then, the Dragon's Gate's warship swept through the place, unrivaled."
When the group of juniors saw the Dragon's Gate's warship appear, they all cheered. Without needing Han Qinghe to say anything, they immediately jumped aboard and sized up the warship excitedly.
Seeing the juniors of the King Grade warship in high spirits, Han Qinghe smiled somewhat helplessly. He said to Xiao Chen, "I'll leave these juniors to you. I'll wait for your good news at Haotian Star."
"We will meet again in the future."
Xiao Chen gently leaped onto the Dragon's Gate's warship. Then, he waved his hand, and eighteen sails with talisman scripts on them soared up.
In the blink of an eye, the Dragon's Gate's warship soared into the clouds, carrying a group of juniors filled with lofty aspirations as they traveled through the vast starry heavens.
The universe was boundlessly vast. From the perspective of a cultivator, the Kunlun Realm's star system at the core was already boundlessly vast. Without comprehending the Dao of space-time, even the Blue Robed Emperor would not be able to fly out.
There were countless stars of many different kinds. However, among the many stars, the ones that could be discovered by the various factions of the Kunlun Realm were known as resource stars.
Even though the Bushin Palace was a huge faction, it controlled a limited number of resource stars in the starry domains around the Kunlun Realm, no more than ten.
Every resource star contained boundless wealth, all sorts of rare ores, and countless Spirit Veins. Every year, the Bushin Palace received a large share of resources. That was why the Bushin Palace was able to distribute them to the various major sects of the Tianwu Domain.
Out of ten resource stars, losing one would be a huge blow to the Kunlun Realm.
With the start of the great chaos, the peak powerhouses of the five major races purposely withdrew the grandmaster-level Martial Sages, the Blue Robed Emperor, and Emperor Wu from the resource stars.
They created many cruel battles. Amid the chaos, the Bushin Palace already lost two resource stars. Now, the third resource star, Dragon Wood Star, was also in danger.
Most of the surface of Dragon Wood Star was covered by the sea. The vast sea was dotted with islands that looked like stars.
On this star, which was entirely made up of sea, controlling the islands was equivalent to controlling the surrounding sea region. Be it the Spirit Plants at the bottom of the sea, the deep sea ore veins, or the resource mines on the islands, they all needed an island as a base to continue operating.
Hence, the fight for the islands became extremely important.
A majestic city stood on the largest island of Dragon Wood Star. There were one million citizens in the city. It looked no different from the cities of the Kunlun Realm.
The only difference was that the people in the city were either powerless ordinary people or Martial Monarch experts.
It was not strange that there were so many ordinary people on a resource star.
The excavation of all sorts of ore veins required a lot of manpower. This was not very dangerous or technical, requiring only ordinary physical strength. It would be overkill for cultivators to do it.
The main purpose of cultivators on a resource star was to protect these ordinary people from Astral Beasts. However, in this chaotic period, cultivators spent most of their time fighting the Corpse Race.
The headquarters of the Bushin Palace was built on this island, on a tall mountain in the middle of the island.
Built against the mountain, there were rows of defensive towers and huge, sturdy stone houses. There weren't many fancy buildings, and everything was built for practicality.
After the summit of the mountain was flattened, a majestic palace was built. Inside the palace, the current administrator of Dragon Wood Star, Huangpu Feng, looked at the physical map on the table, somewhat at a loss as to what to do.
The map was like a miniature version of Dragon Wood Star. All the important islands were concentrated in it.
From the flags on the islands, one could see the grim situation that the Bushin Palace faced. The blue flags representing the Bushin Palace were all gathered together.
The black flag representing the Corpse God Palace was like an overbearing arrow aimed at the defense line of the Bushin Palace.
In a place far away from the two factions, there was the Muddy Sky Gate, which wanted to take advantage of the situation and take a share of the spoils. They eyed the two factions covetously and could not be underestimated.
"Whoosh!"
A flying sword pierced through the wall and appeared in the room. This was the unique flying sword communication technique of the Bushin Palace. Huangpu Feng stretched out his hand, and the information in the sword immediately entered his mind. His expression could not help but turn unsightly.
The second line of defense had fallen as well. The three hundred and eight Martial Monarchs, one hundred half-Sages, thirty Inferior Grade Martial Sages, and ten Medial Grade Martial Sages guarding the island all died in battle. Only three Superior Grade Martial Sages managed to escape.
