Xiao Chen smiled faintly and clashed with the incoming bells. He punched eight times, each punch shaking the sky and earth, scattering the clouds in the surroundings and resounding in the sky.
After the eight punches, the purple color above Xiao Chen's head dimmed slightly, and the bells shattered. Gao Baiyu's figure had already vanished from sight. Xiao Chen did not chase after him, either.
He circulated the Blue Dragon Body Nourishing Art and moved his hands, turning the fragments of the bells into a bright light that he swallowed up.
Xiao Chen closed his eyes and digested the energy. Then, he opened his eyes and said, "I feel something. That weak Dragon Energy is no longer indistinct."
However, when Xiao Chen thought about it, after swallowing two King Grade Secret Treasures, the Blue Dragon Body Nourishing Art showed only such a small improvement. He could not help feeling dispirited.
"Brother Ye, save me! Sob! Sob! They are chasing me to death! They are a bunch of bastards! I already said that I'm innocent!"
When Xiao Chen looked back, he saw that Xing Qingyun's fortress ship had already been torn apart, leaving only a wooden plank.
Xing Qingyun hugged the plank as he fled in the air. He was in a sorry state, and his clothes were tattered. He looked like a refugee, looking very miserable.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "Alliance Chief, don't panic. Ye Chen is here."
Now that Xiao Chen had the time to deal with this group of useless soldiers, he naturally did not have to spend much effort. Aside from a few who could not be bothered to give chase, most of the King Killing Alliance's people died.
As Xing Qingyun tidied up the spatial ring that Xiao Chen gave him, he laughed until he cried. He could not do anything about it. When he moved his lips, the wounds on his body tore open. Despite the pain, he could not stop laughing.
"Haha! I'm rich! I've been a loose cultivator for ten-odd years, but I have never felt so happy before. Ouch! How painful! These people did not hold back at all! "
As Xing Qingyun laughed, he tidied up his belongings. For a moment, he felt some lofty aspirations.
"My current resources are more than enough for me to cultivate to Medial Grade Martial Sage. After I kill Xiao Chen, my name will spread everywhere. Everyone in the world will know the name of the Demon Killing Alliance's Chief, Xing Qingyun."
If he knew that Xiao Chen was standing right beside him, how would he feel?
"Alliance Chief Xing, you are quite open-minded. You do not care about the Frost Moon Palace's Heaven Character Pursuit Order at all," Xiao Chen said coldly as he waved his folding fan.
When Xing Qingyun heard that, his expression immediately changed. "Heaven Character Killing Order? Why is my life so bitter? It was not easy for me to make a name for myself, yet I am going to die young. Right, I got it."
Xiao Chen saw his eyes suddenly light up and said with a smile, "Got it, got what?"
Xing Qingyun chuckled and said, "Young Master Ye, I've thought of a way to get the Frost Moon Palace to take back the Heaven Character Killing Order. At that time, after Young Master Ye kills Xiao Chen, just lend me your head. With this head, you will definitely be able to get the Frost Moon Palace to take back the Heaven Character Killing Order."
"Sure, it's a small matter!" Xiao Chen smiled faintly, looking incredibly kind.
Xing Qingyun patted Xiao Chen's shoulder and said, "In that case, I'll have to trouble Brother Ye. The one who kills Xiao Chen will definitely be Young Master Ye. Hey, Young Master Ye, why did your hair turn lighter?"
Xing Qingyun raised his head and accidentally glanced at Xiao Chen's hair. He discovered that Xiao Chen's purple hair was much dimmer than its initial crystalline and almost purple color.
Of course, Xiao Chen still looked very sinister. That aura made it hard for others to connect it to the White Robed Xiao Chen's calmness.
Xiao Chen's hair turned from black to purple because the Primal Essence Nature Pill's Medicinal Energy had accumulated in his body and had not completely dispersed.
As the Medicinal Energy was absorbed, his hair would turn black sooner or later. At that time, it would be very difficult to pretend to be Ye Chen.
The Medicinal Energy would be completely absorbed in at most ten days, at least three. His cultivation should reach peak Medial Grade Martial Sage. He might even be able to break through to Superior Grade Martial Sage.
At that time, Xiao Chen would not care about the Demonic Brilliant Two Elders, and he would not need to pretend to be someone else.
However, Xiao Chen still needed the identity of the Bloody Young Master Ye Chen. He also needed Xing Qingyun's cooperation.
Xiao Chen used his folding fan and knocked on Xing Qingyun's head. He said, "You are too nosy. Let's quickly go and see what treasure Yun Tianhe, Gao Baiyu, and the others were waiting for earlier."
The two searched the vicinity. After a while, they discovered something.
Purple jade bamboos of various heights grew on a slope in front. They piled up at the top of the mountain, and a clump of thunderclouds floated in the sky.
One of these bamboos stood out from the rest. It had more than a thousand segments and was a hundred meters tall. It looked very special among the purple bamboos.
"Thunder Bamboo! One thousand segments of Thunder Bamboo! This is heaven-defying!" Xing Qingyun exclaimed.
The Thunder Bamboo was a natural divine material. With some trimming, it could be made into a Thunder Bamboo Sword, which could rival a Superior Grade Sage Grade Secret Treasure. Using it to refine weapons could significantly improve the quality of a Secret Treasure. For a long time, it had been a priceless treasure.
Every year, the Thunder Bamboo would undergo a lightning tribulation. If it succeeded, it would grow another segment. If it failed, it would vanish completely.
Xiao Chen grabbed hold of Xing Qingyun, who was about to charge forward. "Don't send yourself to death. Don't you see that the one-thousand-year-old Thunder Bamboo is about to undergo another tribulation?"
Xing Qingyun looked up. Indeed, more thunderclouds gathered in the sky, making it look gloomy. It looked like the entire sky was going to collapse.
If Xing Qingyun charged forward rashly, he would be blasted to ashes on the spot. He could not help feeling fear when he thought about it. No wonder Yun Tianhe's group lingered here and did not make a move. They probably feared this Thunder Bamboo.
"Little friends, are you thinking of getting your hands on this Thunder Bamboo? I advise you not to think about it."
Just at this moment, a short, grayish old man with shifty eyes, no more than one meter tall, arrived behind the two at some point in time.
Xing Qingyun looked at this old man, who had crawled out from somewhere. He cursed, "Where did this old thing come from? To think that you dare to cause trouble when you see our Demon Slaying Alliance here. Scram!"
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Alliance Chief Xing, your temper seems to have increased recently. You even do not care about grandmaster-level Martial Sages anymore."
This startled Xing Qingyun. However, his expression quickly recovered. He said with a smile, "Grandpa … Senior … Grandpa … I was just joking earlier. Don't take it seriously. Please don't take it seriously."
The shifty-eyed old man stared at Xiao Chen and said, "Brat, your eyes are pretty good. This Lord Jiu hid so well, but it still did not escape your eyes."
This old man before Xiao Chen was not human. Xiao Chen could feel the aura of a Fiend Race cultivator.
Earlier, Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense caught the other party crawling out from the mound. Based on his aura, he should be a rat-type Spirit Beast in human form.
A playful expression appeared in Xiao Chen's eyes as he said softly, "I am the Northern Sea Alliance's Bloody Young Master Ye Chen. How should I address Senior? Why is this Thunder Bamboo not useful?"
"Just address me as Lord Jiu if you give me face. The Thunder Bamboo is a natural treasure. It has never lived for more than a thousand years. This is the rule of the Heavenly Dao. It is like how a fish cannot leave the water. After a thousand years, it will die.
"Not only that, but the thousand-year Lightning Tribulation will also affect the other Thunder Bamboos. This entire patch of Thunder Bamboo will be destroyed. You are just wasting your time here."
Xiao Chen revealed an expression of understanding. He smiled and said, "In that case, we will take our leave first. Thank you, Lord Jiu."
"It's just a small matter. There is no need to thank me," Lord Jiu said generously, waving his hand.
When the two were far away, it was indeed as Lord Jiu said. The thousand-year Thunder Bamboo failed its tribulation, and even the patch of Thunder Bamboo disappeared.
"You two fools. For this thousand-year Thunder Bamboo to be so outstanding, several times taller than the other Thunder Bamboos, its roots must be connected to a pure Thunder Origin. This Lord Jiu got lucky."
The shifty-eyed old man kicked up a cloud of dust and arrived at the rubble of the Thunder Bamboo forest in the blink of an eye.
"Whoosh!"
Just as the old man was about to dig up the roots, two figures descended from the sky. Xiao Chen waved his folding fan and smiled at the old man.
This startled the old man, and his eyes went wide. "You two fools, why are you back?"
The moment the old man said that, he felt that it was inappropriate. He immediately lowered his head and smiled. "Young Heroes, why did you rush back? This is a barren land with nothing to see."
Xiao Chen sized up the old man and smiled. "This Young Master saw that you have a dignified appearance and extraordinary strength, so I wanted to invite Senior to join my Demon Slaying Alliance. Unexpectedly, I heard some things that I should not have heard. "Lord Jiu felt depressed in his heart.
It looked like someone had tricked him. The other party did not believe him at all.
Xing Qingyun scolded jokingly, "Look at you, your eyes darting around when you speak. It would be strange if you could deceive someone."
Lord Jiu's expression changed, and he unleashed the aura of a grandmaster-level Martial Sage. He said in a cold voice, "You two juniors, scram quickly. Otherwise, don't blame this Lord Jiu for starting a massacre."
Xiao Chen shook his head and smiled. "Senior, stop pretending. Your legs are already trembling. Why are you still pretending to be an expert? Your clan should be the most sensitive to danger. You should know best what kind of strength I have. "
Xiao Chen took three steps forward, and the old man trembled in fear. How could he still have the air of an expert? He turned around and tried to burrow into the ground.
Rats were always afraid of death. Most people said that rats were as timid as rats. Actually, this saying was not false.
This old man before Xiao Chen was pretty strong. However, his nature was hard to change. His cowardly nature revealed itself at the crucial moment.
The old man felt a dangerous aura from Xiao Chen for some reason. He understood that he was not a match for Xiao Chen. If he fought, he would definitely die.
Originally, he wanted to pretend to be an expert and trick the two away. Who knew, his acting skills were not up to par, and he was seen through with one glance.
Xiao Chen made a move at lightning speed, grabbing the old man's ankle and lifting him into the air. Then, his Law Energy turned into a blade-like energy and poured into the old man's body.
The old man immediately cried out in pain. Xiao Chen tossed him to the ground and said with a smile, "Senior, stop running. Quickly dig out the Thunder Origin. Otherwise, you will suffer more!"
The old man landed on the ground and looked at Xiao Chen with some fear.
Earlier, the electric energy had been incredibly sharp. The old man had used nearly ten times his Law Energy to barely block it. He knew that he had run into a powerful person this time.
The old man no longer dared to have any other thoughts. He only wanted to dig out the Thunder Origin and quickly leave this little demon.
The old man found the withered roots of the thousand-year-old Thunder Bamboo. Then, his hands flashed, and he quickly dug out layers of soil.
In the blink of an eye, a ten-meter-deep hole appeared in the ground. After a while, the hole was a hundred meters deep, startling Xing Qingyun.
"Damn! This old man really has the strength of a grandmaster-level Martial Sage. How come I can't tell at all?"
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "It's simple. He is like you, bold and timid. If you had the strength of a grandmaster-level Martial Sage, your aura would be similar."
