However, it was already too late. While the old man was focused on raising his aura and taking down Mu Yun in one move, he had already given Xiao Chen too much time, too many opportunities.
The price he paid was his life.
A cold light flickered, and a bright saber light looked like the blazing sun, illuminating the entire plaza and dazzling everyone's eyes.
When everyone's vision recovered, they saw that the short old man had already been chopped in half. He died without a complete corpse, not even a breath remaining.
When everyone saw the black-robed cultivator on the stone stool, they all sucked in a breath of cold air. Where did this fellow come from? Could they not tell that the Five Poison Devil and the Medicine God Valley's Mister Qin were standing behind the short old man?
To think that Xiao Chen directly killed the short old man. Even the Merfolk Race would not dare to be so ruthless. To think that he showed no mercy, directly killing the short old man.
Qi Wuxue goggled in disbelief. He exclaimed in shock, "This fellow … this fellow really made a move. He did not hesitate to offend the Five Poison Devil and Mister Qin, directly killing their representative."
Long Fei had guessed that Xiao Chen would make a move. However, he had not expected Xiao Chen to be so ruthless, killing someone the moment he made a move, treating a Superior Grade Martial Sage like a cat or dog, killing him on a whim.
Yao Yan's face lit up in joy. Indeed, Xiao Chen made a move as agreed. When he said he would not leave, he would not leave, truly helping them to the end.
The surroundings fell silent. The many cultivators with lightning-attributed flames that were invited all revealed uncertain expressions.
The two youths from the Penglai Sea also cast their gazes over, revealing curious expressions.
However, the Five Poison Devil and Mister Qin, who had kept his eyes closed, could no longer remain silent. Xiao Chen killed that short old man in one move, suppressing the arrogance of this group of people.
Several of the Primal Chaos Domain loose cultivators with surging auras earlier withdrew their baleful auras. These loose cultivators always cherished their lives.
Now that they saw danger, they naturally did not dare to make a move. Otherwise, they would end up like this short old man, dying without knowing why. That would be a great loss.
The Five Poison Devil stood up and stood on the stone block. Then, he looked at Xiao Chen and said coldly, "Sir, what is the meaning of this? We only want to seek an explanation from the Merfolk Race. Why do you have to stand out?"
Under the hood, Xiao Chen's expression could not be seen clearly. Only his cold voice could be heard. "What explanation? This is the Merfolk Race's own matter. What right do you have to say such things?"
"You …"
The Old Five Poisons Devil could not help but feel stifled. He had already lowered himself, but the other party still did not give him any face, directly looking down on him in front of everyone.
The people present could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. This fellow was really arrogant. Unexpectedly, he dared to speak to the Five Poison Devil like that. Even some grandmaster-level Martial Sages would not be willing to offend the Five Poison Devil.
The middle-aged Mister Qin narrowed his eyes. He found that he could not see through this person. His cultivation was clearly not high, but he was like a deep pool of water, unfathomable.
Xiao Chen did not give off any special aura. However, his indistinct demeanor was vaguely stronger than that of several grandmaster-level Martial Sages.
Naturally, the Five Poison Devil noticed this as well. Otherwise, given his temper, he would not have bothered speaking nonsense with Xiao Chen. He would have just gone up and killed Xiao Chen first.
The Five Poison Devil suppressed the rage in his heart and did not rush to make a move. He said sullenly, "Whether I am qualified or not is not for you to decide. On the other hand, you are a sneaky fellow. You do not even dare to show your face, yet you dare to interfere in this matter. You still do not know who you offended, right? "
Xiao Chen casually removed his hood and revealed his true appearance. Discussions immediately rang out.
"The White Robed King Xiao Chen!"
"Unexpectedly, it was him who made a move. No wonder he dared to attack so fearlessly. I heard that he will be formally conferred King in Bushin Palace soon."
"The seal on Neptune was left behind by the Qing Emperor back then. Now that there is a problem, it makes sense for him to interfere in this matter."
"However, he is still too bold. The Five Poison Devil and this Mister Qin are not easy to deal with."
Upon seeing Xiao Chen's appearance, someone immediately recognized him. The news of Xiao Chen being conferred King had spread like wildfire. He was the most outstanding outstanding talent of the younger generation.
Xiao Chen had not appeared for two years. However, the moment he appeared, his name immediately shook the world. He clearly already had the elegance of the Qing Emperor back then.
Xiao Chen looked at the clearly startled Five Poison Devil and said indifferently, "Five Poison Devil, the rumors about you in the Primal Chaos Domain are very miraculous. Even grandmaster-level Martial Sages are not willing to exchange moves with you. Let me test you out and see how miraculous you are. Let me see who I offended. "
The bright moon rose into the sky, and the night sky turned upside down.
To everyone's surprise, Xiao Chen took the initiative to charge at the Five Poison Devil. A cold wind blew, and snowflakes drifted down. Xiao Chen's figure flashed, and he arrived before the Five Poison Devil.
The Five Poison Devil did not see Xiao Chen's figure. He only saw a saber light turn into a cold wind and charge through the snowflakes, moving as fast as lightning. The Five Poison Devil quickly circulated his Law Energy and stretched out his hand to block this saber light.
A strong wind blew like a snowstorm in all directions. The snowflakes were like sabers, boundlessly sharp.
The people in the plaza quickly scattered, not wanting to be swept up by the shock waves of this battle.
Pain, bone-piercing pain.
The Five Poison Devil, who was on the stone block, relied on his deep cultivation to block Xiao Chen's palm strike, not taking even half a step back.
However, the energy in Xiao Chen's palm strike was like a saber stabbing into the Five Poison Devil, causing him to grit his teeth in pain, and his arms trembled.
Was it a palm strike or a saber strike? The Five Poison Devil was somewhat confused.
"Bang!
Bang! Bang! "Xiao Chen took a step back and immediately charged over again. In the blink of an eye, he exchanged a hundred moves with the Five Poison Devil.
Snowflakes shattered and shot out with a strong light. That was the bright saber light shining. It looked exceptionally bright when contrasted with the bright moon.
After a hundred moves, Xiao Chen's right hand had turned completely black. The poison spread like insects, trying to infiltrate his blood.
The Five Poison Devil was in so much pain that he no longer dared to clash head-on with Xiao Chen. He left the stone block and retreated a kilometer. When he saw Xiao Chen's pitch-black palm, he smiled coldly and said, "Does your arm feel like it's being pricked by needles or like venomous insects biting you? So what if you are a descendant of the Qing Emperor and people call you the White Robed King?
"Even if you are poisoned by my Shadowless Poison, you will still be at my mercy!"
The Five Poison Devil's arm was in so much pain that it nearly went numb. However, he still laughed loudly, feeling incredibly cocky.
Why were grandmaster-level Martial Sages not willing to fight with him? It was because his Shadowless Poison was formless and traceless. There was no way to avoid it. As long as one fought with him, they would definitely be poisoned.
Unless one could kill him in one move, even if one managed to do so, they would end up dying together.
Xiao Chen looked at his pitch-black right hand, at the black, insect-like poison, and entered deep thought.
As for the pain in his arm, he did not even frown. This bit of pain was nothing compared to the Lightning Tribulations he experienced when tempering his physical body.
"Boom!" Suddenly, his entire right hand exploded. Half of Xiao Chen's arm was mangled, looking very horrifying.
Xiao Chen turned a deaf ear to this. He squinted and looked carefully. The moment the black poison appeared in the air after his flesh and skin split open, it immediately vanished.
However, in that one-thousandth of an instant, Xiao Chen saw it clearly. It was venomous insects as thin as a strand of hair. They were the same color as the air, numbering in the thousands.
The flesh and skin on Xiao Chen's right arm quickly grew back bit by bit. Soon, his arm was as good as new, white and smooth, with no trace of the black poison.
"A peak Rank 3 Sage Body!"
When the Five Poison Devil saw this scene, he could not help but exclaim. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen had a peak Rank 3 Sage Body. Using such a tyrannical method, he cleansed the Shadowless Poison completely.
With a thought, the purple Lightning Talisman turned into a flame and burned on his arm.
With a casual wave, sizzling sounds rang out in the air. Many of those tiny venomous insects that even Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense could not detect were burned to death.
"It looks like the flame of the will is still able to capture these venomous insects."
After finding a way to deal with it, electric light flashed under Xiao Chen's feet. Then, he did not hesitate to charge over again.
Using his body as a saber, Xiao Chen sent out boundless saber lights flickering in the cold wind and the drifting snowflakes.
Every time he came into contact with the Five Poison Devil, be it his shoulder or his palm, Xiao Chen would envelop them with his will flame. This way, the Five Poison Devil's Shadowless Poison became mere decoration.
"Damn it!"
The Five Poison Devil retreated continuously. In the end, there was not a single spot on his body that was not covered. Every part of his body that came into contact with Xiao Chen felt knife-like energy scraping his skin and cutting his flesh.
Furthermore, this saber was extremely sharp. With just a slight movement, it opened a long wound.
On the surface, the Five Poison Devil and Xiao Chen seemed to be evenly matched. However, wounds covered his body, and the intense pain was unbearable.
"Mister Qin, why are you still watching the show?!"
After being knocked back by Xiao Chen's blade-like palm strike, the Five Poison Devil finally could not help asking Mister Qin for help.
Mister Qin frowned. He could not tell that the Five Poison Devil had been forced into such a state.
However, just as Mister Qin wanted to help, two figures floated down from the air and blocked his way.
Long Fei opened his folding fan and slowly released the Death Qi from his body. He said, "Mister Qin, as a senior, you should not do something so humiliating, right? Bullying the weak is already wrong in the first place. Ganging up on him is even more wrong. "
Qi Wuxue chuckled and said, "It's hard to say. I can see that the killing Qi in Mister Qin's eyes is about to leap out. Clearly, you are trying to bully the weak, ganging up on him."
These two bastards, Mister Qin cursed in his heart. These two fellows blocked his way and even echoed each other in insulting him.
However, these two were not people to offend. One was the White Bone Sovereign's descendant, and the other was the Muddy Sky Gate's Young Master. If the two worked together, he would have no problem blocking them.
When the Five Poison Devil saw that Mister Qin was blocked, he decided to retreat. He spat out a long strand of black smoke, forcing back Xiao Chen. Then, he said ferociously, "Xiao Chen, just you wait. I will settle this debt with you sooner or later."
However, right after the Five Poison Devil spoke, he suddenly discovered a snowflake drifting out of the black smoke. This snowflake condensed into the shape of a flower and gently tapped the Five Poison Devil's chest with all the energy of the Winter Saber.
The Five Poison Devil vomited a mouthful of blood and went flying back. A layer of frost covered his hair, eyebrows, lips, and body.
Sensing the terrible state of his body, the Five Poison Devil was startled. He no longer had the earlier arrogance, so he turned and fled in a panic.
