Xiao Chen relied entirely on his physical strength. He did not control the Essence of heaven and earth, nor did he rely on anything in the outside world. His strong body broke through all obstacles.
The flying swords and various treasures of the cultivators shattered unceasingly. They were like scrap metal under Xiao Chen's palm. He blocked the white-clothed cultivator with extreme speed. His voice was incomparably cold.
"No comment!"
The white-clothed cultivator's expression changed again and again, but he still said these four words so unyieldingly.
Xiao Chen's strength spoke for itself. The white-clothed cultivator was definitely not a match for him, but he did not want to surrender without putting up a fight. The purple jade bracelet on his left wrist flickered with a dreamy radiance, and a purple light shield quickly formed.
This caused Xiao Chen to frown. The jade bracelet was his family heirloom. However, in the past, he never knew that the bracelet was a defensive weapon. He did not hesitate and sent out a palm strike.
Now, his palms were even more terrifying than divine weapons and sharp blades. The Hand of Heaven truly lived up to its name. There was nothing it couldn't break and nothing could stop it!
However, he didn't want to break his family heirloom. The moment he got close, his arm quickly changed direction like a dragon and slashed at the white-robed cultivator's neck.
However, contrary to his expectations, the purple jade bracelet emitted thousands of rays of light, emitting a wave-like purple light. It formed a light barrier around the white-clothed cultivator, blocking Xiao Chen.
When the palm knife cut the purple light curtain, it actually made a crisp "ding" sound. It did not break, let alone hurt the cultivator in white. Even though Xiao Chen did not use his full power, it was clear that the jade bracelet was extraordinary. The white-clothed Immortal Cultivator withdrew the horrified expression on his face. Earlier, when Xiao Chen approached him, he felt his hair stand on end. After all, this was a killing god. The powerful "aura" unique to martial artists was oppressing him, causing him to feel incomparable fear.
Unexpectedly, this jade bracelet blocked Xiao Chen. This was out of Xiao Chen's expectations, especially since this was a family heirloom. He could not help but reveal a mocking smile.
"Hmph!"
Xiao Chen snorted coldly. The Cultivators behind him had arrived. His palms shone brightly. He slashed continuously in the sky.
Clang!
Clang!
Several flying swords were broken on the spot. There were also six or seven cultivation treasures that were shattered by him. The Hand of Heaven was crystal clear. It shone with a bewitching light. It was almost demonic.
Whoosh …
Xiao Chen temporarily abandoned the white-robed cultivator. He dashed towards the pursuers. The speed of the Eight Phases was inconceivably fast. It was as if he had only swayed a little. He rushed to the front of the enemy.
At this moment, Xiao Chen was cruel and merciless. He didn't have the slightest bit of mercy in his heart. The hand of heaven mercilessly attacked!
"Pu!"
In the blink of an eye, half of the head of a cultivator was chopped off. White brain matter mixed with blood spurted out. The scene was extremely bloody and brutal.
Many female practitioners were so shocked that they screamed and closed their eyes. This was the cruel and real world of practitioners. People died every day. There were similar battles every day, but no one could completely describe them.
"When the Hand of Heaven shone with a sparkling radiance, it shattered a bronze statue that was about three meters tall in the sky. Xiao Chen soared into the sky and charged towards the practitioners who took out their magic treasures.
With a flash of light, Xiao Chen's speed was as fast as a dream. His entire body streaked across like a saber light and cut that person in half. Not even a drop of blood splashed on his body.
Xiao Chen instantly killed several pursuers at an inconceivable speed. His eyes swept across the surroundings. His merciless methods shocked everyone. Those cultivators behind him all stopped in their tracks. No one dared to charge forward anymore. This was an absolute deterrence.
He approached the cultivator in white, who was shrouded in purple light, step by step. A powerful, cold, and oppressive pressure seemed to make the sky tremble.
It wasn't that the white-robed cultivator didn't want to escape, but he could already tell that no matter what, he couldn't be faster than Xiao Chen's Eight Phases Extreme Speed. If that was the case, it would be safer to stay with his fellow apprentices. Right now, the only thing he could rely on was this purple jade bracelet. He hoped that it would be able to withstand Xiao Chen's attack.
However, his hope was quickly dashed. Xiao Chen used his full strength. The Hand of Heaven smashed down with all his might.
"Crack!"
The purple light barrier was shattered. That sparkling palm easily shattered the purple light barrier, which had an astonishing defensive power, as if it was shattering a piece of porcelain.
This made the white-robed cultivator turn pale with fright. He was incomparably terrified. That palm was too terrifying. It was beyond his imagination. The purple divine shield formed by the jade bracelet was still there. The white-robed cultivator hurriedly blocked Xiao Chen's palm strike. However, how could he block a cultivator who was famous for his physical skills at such a close distance?
Xiao Chen didn't want to really use the Hand of Heaven to shatter his family's jade bracelet. His fingers were extremely agile. He instantly clamped down on the purple divine shield and extended his other hand at lightning speed. He shattered the flying sword that the white-robed cultivator spat out and chopped at his neck with his palm.
Blood splattered everywhere. However, Xiao Chen didn't chop off the white-robed cultivator's head. This was because Xiao Chen forcefully stopped his movements. He thought of a serious problem. If this white-robed cultivator really had a close relationship with Ruo Shui, and he was seriously injured, wouldn't that mean …
Xiao Chen grabbed the white-robed cultivator and descended from the sky like a bolt of lightning. He appeared at the summit of Mount Hua and tossed the white-robed cultivator at Chen Fang and Fairy Qingyun's feet.
There was a foreign loose cultivator here who had grasped the Mind Reading Technique. There was no need to interrogate him. With Fairy Qingyun around, he could get everything out of him.
Chen Fang was extremely anxious. He was afraid that he would receive some unbearable news. Fairy Qingyun's third eye emitted a light. She then turned around and said, "It was indeed given to him by a woman."
"What?"
Chen Fang felt like he was struck by lightning. His body was on the verge of collapse. Xiao Chen sighed. Even though he had killed that figure, he still felt a little emotional after listening to Chen Fang's story.
Perhaps, this was the tragedy and comedy of life.
They were clearly closely related to Xiao Chen. However, at this moment, he was like an outsider, watching everything quietly.
"Impossible!"
Chen Fang's eyes turned red. He said, "What does that woman look like? I don't think … she is Ruo Shui."
Fairy Qingyun waved her hand and a figure appeared in the sky. A young and beautiful woman appeared.
"That is not Ruo Shui!"
Chen Fang shouted excitedly.
Chen Fang grabbed the dispirited white-clothed cultivator by his collar and shouted, "Speak! What is going on?!"
"My junior sister gave it to me."
The white-clothed cultivator answered weakly.
"Where did your junior sister get it?"
The white-clothed cultivator yielded to the threat of death.
"She picked it up on Mount Lu."
Fairy Qingyun executed the Mind Reading Technique again. Then, she nodded and said, "He is not lying." She nodded and said, "He is not lying."
After asking about the situation in detail, Xiao Chen said coldly to the white-clothed cultivator, "Scram!"
The white-clothed cultivator soared into the sky as if he had been pardoned.
"There is a killing intent in his heart. A bone-deep killing intent."
Fairy Qingyun reminded Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen was not surprised. After all, he had killed so many cultivators. However, he immediately frowned. He did not care about these people. However, they were a threat to Chen Fang and the others.
"It's not easy to say that I will let you go!"
Xiao Chen soared into the sky in an instant. He stretched out the Hand of Heaven and slashed at the white-clothed cultivator. "Save me!"
The white-clothed cultivator yelled.
The cultivators at the side made a move again to stop Xiao Chen.
At the same time, the white-clothed cultivator shouted, "Senior brothers, help me! I am going to take out the golden pagoda!"
A yellow light flashed from the white-clothed cultivator's body. A golden pagoda rushed out. Then, all the cultivators exerted their strength together. The pagoda instantly enlarged and fell from the sky like a golden mountain, pressing down on Xiao Chen.
This was definitely a secret treasure. The white-clothed cultivator was the great-great-grandson of an old cultivator. His identity was not ordinary, so he was bestowed this treasure.
It was too late to dodge. The golden pagoda had already enveloped Xiao Chen. However, he did not panic at all. He raised the Hand of Heaven and slashed with all his might.
"Boom!"
The golden divine light shone brightly. The golden pagoda that was as big as a small mountain shook as if it was about to collapse. It was easy to imagine how much force it had to withstand.
"Senior brothers, let's work together and refine him into a bloody pulp!"
The white-clothed cultivator roared. There was no way out now. They could only survive by killing Xiao Chen.
"Boom!"
The huge golden pagoda shook again. Tiny cracks had already appeared on the golden pagoda.
"How is this possible?"
All the cultivators cried out in alarm. This was a treasure refined by an old ancestor-level cultivator. Its might was incomparably huge. It could already be considered an immortal tool. But now, it was about to be destroyed.
Just how terrifying was the so-called Hand of Heaven? Could it be that the palm of flesh was really comparable to an immortal tool?
"Boom!"
Xiao Chen made his third attack. The sparkling and translucent Hand of Heaven ruthlessly slammed on the inner wall of the golden pagoda. A clear palm print was imprinted there. Cracks appeared all around.
"Crack!"
A terrifying sound resounded from the golden pagoda. The people outside could clearly see that the pagoda was cracking. It was on the verge of collapse.
"Retreat!"
Everyone realized that the situation was anything but reassuring. They wanted to run far away.
However, at this time, Xiao Chen attacked for the fourth time. "Boom!" A loud sound rang out. The Hand of Heaven shook the heaven and earth. In an instant, the golden pagoda that was as big as a small mountain was shattered.
The entire sky was filled with resplendent golden light. The entire sky was filled with violent energy. The devastating energy crushed several cultivators on the spot. Even those who were fast suffered from the violent impact. They vomited blood on the spot and were on the verge of collapsing.
The instant he rushed out, Xiao Chen did not show any mercy. He was like a demon reaping lives as he weaved about in the sky. Everywhere he passed, there would be a rain of blood. The remaining nine cultivators were all shattered by the Hand of Heaven.
After the final attack killed the cultivator in white, Xiao Chen flew towards the sky. Over there … dark clouds surged and ink waves overflowed the sky. It was exceptionally terrifying.
Sky Beyond Sky, Man Beyond Sky, and Mountain Beyond Mountain had yet to rush out. They were temporarily trapped by the eight iron-blood flags.
Xiao Chen didn't care about the rules with these cultivators. With a flash of light, the golden divine halberd appeared in his hand. He didn't say a single word and directly hacked at a hundred zhang tall flag.
"Rumble …"
High up in the sky, the energy waves surged. The golden divine radiance collided with the black light, immediately causing the entire place to boil.
A biting cold murderous aura was emitted and went straight for Xiao Chen. He didn't stop at all. He directly soared into the sky at the speed of the Eightfold Extreme Speed and escaped from the battlefield.
His goal was only to harass them. He didn't really want to fight with those older generation figures.
"Haha … You've killed all those juniors. Alright, let's go out as well."
The voice of Sky Beyond Sky resounded.
It was as if a huge monster had awakened in the sky. A heart-palpitating pressure erupted without any warning.
Following that, the flag crumbled. A huge palm appeared in the churning dark clouds in the sky. It was as big as a mountain. It crushed the hundred zhang long flag with a single grab.
The scene was extremely terrifying!
Following that, the huge head of Sky Beyond Sky stretched out from the great formation. It was about to break free.
"Not good, retreat quickly!"
The old cultivators cried out in fear.
Blood splattered everywhere. Several clouds of blood mist exploded in the sky, along with a few blood-curdling screams.
After that, one after another sword light soared into the sky.
The dark clouds surged … and gradually faded. Sky Beyond Sky, Man Beyond Sky, and Mountain Beyond Mountain revealed their true forms.
"Phew … Damn the seal of the Nine Provinces. This is too annoying!"
Sky Beyond Sky, who looked like a hoodlum, was panting heavily.
The little brat said pensively, "The jade bracelet actually appeared at the Mount Lu waterfall. Could it be that the seal of Mount Lu is about to loosen?"
Sky Beyond Sky took the purple jade bracelet from Xiao Chen's hand and looked at it seriously. "The first layer of the seal on the jade bracelet has been undone. It can now be used as a defensive artifact."
Speaking until here, he looked at Xiao Chen. "Is this really your family heirloom?"
"Yes."
"Where is your family from?"
"A place called Ancestral Dragon Village by the Yellow River."
"What?!"
Both Sky Beyond Sky and Man Beyond Sky cried out in alarm.
"That is an extremely crucial location for the seal of the Nine Provinces!"
The appearance of the jade bracelet immediately made the two big shots bewildered. They repeatedly looked at the purple jade bracelet against the sunlight.
"There is a golden shadow inside. It looks like a surging yellow river."
Sky Beyond Sky put away his hoodlum expression and said solemnly, "I suspect that this is one of the keys to unlocking the seal."
After studying it for a long time, Man Beyond Sky and Sky Beyond Sky returned the jade bracelet to Xiao Chen and said, "Since it is your family heirloom, I will leave it to you for now. But remember, don't lose it."
Xiao Chen nodded and was about to leave. This was because Chen Fang had accidentally called out his identity. He was afraid that those powerful cultivators would find out his true identity and implicate his parents.
"Don't worry. Mountain Beyond Sky, you go and oversee Ancestral Dragon Village. This village is too important."
Sky Beyond Sky mumbled, "There should be people guarding there. Looks like there was an accident."
After Mountain Beyond Sky left, Sky Beyond Sky and Man Beyond Sky continued to stay. They shouted, "The Sword Meet at Mount Hua continues …"
Xiao Chen didn't want to continue. Although Mountain Beyond Sky was going to oversee Ancestral Dragon Village, he was still worried. However, he was still worried and decided to go back.
"Xiao Chen, let's go to Mount Lu together."
Chen Fang stared at Xiao Chen.
"I need to make a trip home. You guys go first, I will catch up later."
"You really killed Ruoshui very thoroughly …"
Chen Fang sighed softly and didn't say anything else.
Ancestral Dragon Village didn't change. However, there was now an old lunatic in the village.
Xiao Chen stayed at home peacefully for a month. During this time, he repeatedly studied the jade bracelet, but he couldn't find anything special about it.
After confirming that Ancestral Dragon Village wasn't a threat, Xiao Chen left again. His destination was that Mount Lu waterfall.
When Xiao Chen arrived at Mount Lu. Chen Fang had already been here for more than ten days. To Xiao Chen's surprise, Fairy Qingyun and the others actually followed Chen Fang here.
"There are no clues at all."
Chen Fang looked somewhat haggard. This was because he didn't find anything in the past ten days.
The waterfall fell three thousand feet straight down, and it seemed like the Milky Way had fallen from the ninth heaven.
Ahead, purple clouds rose, and mist filled the air. A huge waterfall poured down, giving off a deafening rumble.
"The jade bracelet was found under the waterfall. This means that Ruoshui has been here."
Xiao Chen walked toward the pool step by step. Then, he went straight to the bottom of the waterfall that looked like the Milky Way.
Just at this moment, the jade bracelet suddenly emitted waves of purple light. It was as intoxicating as a dream.
"Crack!"
The sound of a huge rock cracking could be heard.
At the top of the Mount Lu waterfall, a huge rock protecting the waterfall shattered. A short old man with a head full of white hair and a hunched back walked out. He was no more than one meter tall, and his face was covered in wrinkles. It was hard to tell how long he had lived.
"Is this the will of the heavens? Why did they send the jade bracelet back after sending it away?"
An aged voice resounded above the Mount Lu waterfall.
"Who are you?"
Chen Fang, Fairy Qingyun, and the others were bewildered.
Xiao Chen also had a strange feeling as he stared at the short old man.
"This old man is Tong Hu."
The old man stood at the top of the waterfall and stared at the jade bracelet in Xiao Chen's hand. He asked, "Where did you come from?"
"To find someone."
"There are no people here, only God …"
The aged voice resounded clearly above the waterfall. Even the thunderous sound of the waterfall couldn't be blocked.
"God?"
Clearly, Chen Fang and the others were stunned. Why was this old man so strange … He seemed unfathomable.
Xiao Chen asked calmly, "Senior, have you seen this woman before?"
Speaking until here, he spread out his sleeves and revealed Ruo Shui's portrait in the air. "I have always been in a deep sleep, how would I know?"
"Then does senior recognize this jade bracelet?"
Xiao Chen raised the purple jade bracelet.
"I have been guarding this place for countless years. I have been woken up by this jade bracelet twice."
The old man said, "A year ago, someone also came here with this jade bracelet."
"Wasn't it this woman?"
Xiao Chen unfolded the portrait again.
"No, it was a man."
"How is this possible?"
Chen Fang cried out in shock and asked, "Where did that man go?"
"Dead."
The old man replied calmly.
"Dead …"
Chen Fang was in slight disbelief.
"How is this possible? In this world, who can avoid life and death?"
The old man said in a rather experienced manner.
"How did he die?"
Xiao Chen stared at the old man.
"He chose death by himself. It's equivalent to suicide."
"How could this be!"
Chen Fang felt that the clue was cut off again.
"Everyone has the right to choose death. I can't stop it."
"Where is his corpse?"
Xiao Chen slowly soared into the sky and arrived beside the old man.
"He entered an illusory world. There is no corpse left behind."
"Is he dead, or did he enter an illusory world?"
Xiao Chen keenly noticed the faulty wording of the old man.
"Entering an illusory world. In my opinion, it is equivalent to dying in the real human world. Because no matter if it is his soul or body, it is impossible for them to reappear in the human world."
"You are saying that he entered another space, and it is an illusory space?"
Chen Fang asked in bewilderment, "What the hell is going on?"
The old man didn't say anything.
And just at this time, Xiao Chen seemed to have sensed something. He held the jade bracelet in his hand and lightly stroked the waterfall on Mount Lu. A seemingly illusory world suddenly appeared in front of their eyes.
An eagle soars in the sky, no, it is a winged dragon soaring in the sky!
The Eight-Clawed Tyrant Dragon roared, the Tyrannical Dragon faced upwards and roared … … The undulating ancient mountain range was a savage scene.
That is … …
