Chapter 1260: Tyranny of Xiao Chen

Elder Xing hesitated. There was a certain piece of news circulating in the Martial Emperors’ circle, something very shocking. The Azure Emperor’s descendant had comprehended the Sharp Spirit Finger—the Flame Rock Sovereign’s consummate technique, which was not taught to others—in ten days while he was at the Black Sea.

All along, Elder Xing felt that this news was fake. This technique was the secret of a Sovereign Martial Emperor and was not taught to others. How could Xiao Chen comprehend it within ten days?

Such a thing was too ridiculous and unbelievable.

However, based on Xiao Chen’s current demeanor and extreme confidence, might he have really comprehended the Sharp Spirit Finger?

If that was the case, then there would be trouble. The Sharp Spirit Finger could focus all the energies of the body at one spot. With Xiao Chen’s current cultivation, this Sharp Spirit Finger could injure them.

After all, these Martial Emperors were just First Heaven Martial Emperors. While they were aloof existences to cultivators who were not yet Martial Emperors, in the circle of Martial Emperors, they were the lowest existence.

“Elder Xing, agree to him. Why are you hesitating? After you defeat him, we will be able to complete this mission perfectly.” Upon seeing that Elder Xing still did not agree, Wang Feng could not help feeling anxious.

Elder Xing cursed Wang Feng as an idiot in his heart. The two Divine Dragon Palace Martial Emperors were not even in a rush, so why was Wang Feng so urgent? Elder Xing was a Martial Emperor. It was logical for him to win. However, if he lost to Xiao Chen, his reputation would be ruined, becoming a big joke in the circle of Martial Emperors.

The two Martial Emperors of the Divine Dragon Palaces thought the same thing as well. Hence, they did not come to a quick decision. They wanted to wait for Elder Xing to say something first and see Xiao Chen’s strength before coming to a decision—such was an absolutely safe plan.

Hence, everyone waited for each other. The place turned strangely quiet.

When facing Xiao Chen’s forceful demand for battle, the three Martial Emperors fell silent at the same time. If this was spoken of outside, no one would believe it. A Consummation quasi-Emperor could actually daunt three Martial Emperors into caution and silence.

Xiao Chen laughed loudly, his unbridled laughter filled with mockery. “No wonder you are all only First Heaven Martial Emperors. With such boldness, I believe that none of you will ever have the courage to take your lightning tribulation to advance to Second Heaven Martial Emperor for the rest of your life.

“If you want to fight, then fight. If not, then scram. I do not have time to waste with you. Send off the guests!”

The three Martial Emperors were angered into trembling. However, the more Xiao Chen pushed for a fight, the more these people felt that something was wrong. It was not that they feared Xiao Chen. What they feared was the tiny possibility of him defeating them.

There was no glory in a Martial Emperor defeating a Consummation quasi-Emperor, as it was normal to do so. However, if there was even a one-in-ten-thousand chance of defeat, then it was over. They would end up as Xiao Chen’s stepping stone, forever unable to raise their heads again.

Furthermore, on his path thus far, Xiao Chen had managed to pull off too many miracles. It was truly difficult for them to decide to face such a person.

As Xiao Chen called out for the guests to be sent off, the few Martial Emperors revealed ashamed expressions on their faces.

“Send off the guests? Xiao Chen, don’t think that today’s matter will be resolved so easily. I do not believe that you are really that boundlessly strong.”

Leng Shaofan felt very sullen. He had brought a Martial Emperor along so he could thoroughly humiliate Xiao Chen and snatch back his flood dragon war chariot.

However, who could have imagined that when Xiao Chen forcefully pushed for a battle, the Martial Emperor he brought along would cower? Leng Shaofan could not accept that. On impulse, he launched an attack at Xiao Chen.

The Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace’s red-clad Young Palace Master roared ferociously and charged over together with Leng Shaofan.

Youths were prideful and ambitious; hence, Leng Shaofan and the other youth were more daring than the three older-generation Martial Emperors. While the Martial Emperors took many things into consideration, these two did not need to care that much.

At the worst, these two would just be defeated. They could accept seeing Xiao Chen putting on such a formidable show.

Xiao Chen smiled. “You overestimate yourselves. Leng Shaofan, do you think that I’m still the same Xiao Chen that came to the Heavenly Starry Ocean three years ago? Let me show you the distance between you and me today, a distance that is at least ten thousand times larger than you imagine. Back then, you laid various traps all for the sake of the Sea Monarch Headscarf. Today, I will return all of that to you.”

“Kneel for me!”

Xiao Chen could not be bothered with finding an opening in the approaching Leng Shaofan’s move. He simply threw a palm strike, using force to overcome technique. His strong cultivation and strength were enough to suppress the other party’s technique.

As Xiao Chen’s palm descended, it was like the sky was falling. Leng Shaofan immediately felt the aura and the state of his Martial Technique crumble.

Xiao Chen’s descending palm grew infinitely larger in Leng Shaofan’s eyes. His heart sank as horror spread throughout his body, so frightened that his entire body got soaked in sweat. He wanted to retreat but discovered that it was already too late.

“Pa!” The blow landed on Leng Shaofan’s shoulder, and Primordial Energy flowed out through Xiao Chen’s palm. Leng Shaofan had only ever felt this strong energy coming from the older generation. After this energy flowed through his body, he fell to his knees with a ‘plop.’

The purple Primordial Energy that flowed through Leng Shaofan’s body formed a powerful restriction, instantly rendering him immobile, leaving him kneeling on the ground.

Compared to Leng Shaofan, the red-clad youth’s cultivation was weaker. The instant the red-clad youth tried to flee, Xiao Chen used suction on him, directly pulling him back.

Xiao Chen patted him with his left hand. “Plop!” The red-clad youth dropped to his knees beside Leng Shaofan.

The two ended up kneeling on the floor almost at the same instant. From the moment they launched their attacks to being restrained by Xiao Chen, only the time that it took for a spark to fly had passed. The two Martial Emperors behind them could not intervene at all. Hence, Leng Shaofan and the red-clad Young Palace Master ended up in Xiao Chen’s hands for him to humiliate.

“Young Palace Master!”

The yellow-clad old man of the Eastern Sea Divine Dragon Palace was the first to react. He cried out and moved in a flash. He was so fast that others were not able to capture his movements before he arrived before Xiao Chen.

The other Martial Emperor saw his opportunity and arrived before Leng Shaofan and the red-clad youth, wanting to make a move to break the restriction.

As the other party charged over ferociously, Xiao Chen moved back. With each step he took, three electric whirlpools appeared at his chest.

“You are truly boundlessly arrogant. To think that you actually dared to make a move on the Young Palace Master! In that case, don’t blame this old man for ignoring my seniority and making a move on you.” The yellow-clad old man attacked in anger. Everywhere his palm wind passed, it tore through the air, radiating an intense light.

This attack instantly reduced the chairs and tables in the main hall to powder, causing the entire City Lord’s Residence to shake intensely. Mo Chen and Lan Shaobai immediately left in a flash.

This was no longer a level of exchange that Mo Chen and Lan Shaobai could interfere with. If this newly built Heavenly Dragon City were not a Secret Treasure, the main hall would have crumbled already.

Xiao Chen remained calm, not getting frustrated, impatient, angry, or startled. As he prepared the Sharp Spirit Finger, he counted in his heart.

One step, two steps, three steps, kill!

When Xiao Chen finished preparing the Sharp Spirit Finger, he suddenly showed a murderous intent on his face. Nine whirlpools of electricity at his chest summoned ten thousand thunderbolts roaring out as he focused all his energies on the tip of a finger.

All light in the main hall went dark. Only the electric light at Xiao Chen’s fingertip remained bright, looking as dazzling as the sun.

“Pu ci!”

A bloody light flashed, sending the yellow-clad old man flying back. A black hole appeared in the palm of his hand, reaping half of his palm.

“The Sharp Spirit Finger, the Flame Rock Sovereign’s consummate technique. You really managed to comprehend it!” the yellow-clad old man exclaimed in disbelief as he looked at his injured palm, feeling stunned.

The yellow-clad old man felt overwhelmed. Fortunately, he had not been careless with his earlier palm strike, using all one hundred strands of Primordial Energy that he possessed. If he had not exerted his full power, he might have lost his entire arm in an explosion.

The Sharp Spirit Finger allowed the Flame Rock Sovereign’s fame to spread far and wide, without fail. Even Primes did not dare to receive his consummate technique lightly. This move was truly deserving of its reputation.

“Oh no! There is Primordial Energy in the two Young Palace Masters’ bodies. I can’t just casually break the restriction.”

A cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the black-clad old man on the other side. Anxiety flashed in his eyes.

The Young Palace Masters kneeling on the ground and the sweating black-clad old man looked at the yellow-clad old man who was staring at his hand in dismay.

The situation was entirely under Xiao Chen’s control. Even a Martial Emperor might not be able to defeat him.

Martial Emperors had attained the Golden Emperor Body. Losing half a palm was not considered a severe injury. Even if their heart exploded, they would be able to recover from it in time.

However, the Golden Emperor Body of a First Heaven Martial Emperor had yet to reach the level of instantaneous recovery. For now, the yellow-clad old man’s arm was crippled with his combat prowess weaker by thirty percent.

As the yellow-clad old man looked at Xiao Chen, horror flashed in his eyes along with a trace of fear. With the Sharp Spirit Finger, this fellow really had the strength to fight against First Heaven Martial Emperors.

“Xiao Chen, quickly remove the restrictions on the two Young Palace Masters. If anything happens to them, the Eastern Sea Divine Dragon King and the Western Sea Divine Dragon King will absolutely not let you off.”

Unable to undo the restriction, the heavily sweating black-clad old man stood up and roared at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen said indifferently, “Watch your attitude. Even if I killed these two, so what? Don’t forget they were the ones who attacked first. If you shout at me again, I’ll cripple both of them.”

The black-clad old man felt stifled when he heard that. He asked sullenly, “What do we have to do in order for you to let them go?”

“Very simple. Men! Help me prepare two contracts. Wasn’t Young Master Leng here to demand the war chariot from me? Sign a contract saying that he is letting me have the war chariot and compensate me with ten thousand Essence Stones for my damages.

“As for the Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace’s Young Palace Master, weren’t you trying to get me to split the profits of Heavenly Star Island? Now, sign a contract guaranteeing that from today on, the Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace will not mention this matter anymore. At the same time, compensate me with ten thousand Essence Stones as well.”

Xiao Chen’s demands immediately enraged the two Divine Dragon Palace old men. “Ten thousand Essence Stones? Are you crazy? How can we possibly take that out?”

Ten thousand Essence Stones would be equivalent to almost all the wealth of a First Heaven Martial Emperor. Even if they could take it out, they would not bear to part with it.

Xiao Chen said calmly, “Is that so? If you cannot bear to pay that, then get the Divine Dragon Palace to pay it. After coming to my Heavenly Dragon City to cause trouble repeatedly, do you think that we will not exact even a bit of interest on this debt?”

“You! You! …are an insufferable bully!”

Xiao Chen smiled. “Seniors, you are being too serious. This little one is only a Consummation quasi-Emperor. How could I dare to bully lofty Martial Emperors? If you are not willing, then so be it. Men! Send off the guests!”

Xiao Chen ignored the two raging and trembling old men. Then, he added, “The sky is frosty and the ground is freezing. The night is very cold. It would not be good if the two Young Palace Masters were to injure their bodies by kneeling like that. Remember to bring some quilts for them at night.”

“Agree to his demands!”

Leng Shaofan could not move at all. As he glared furiously at Xiao Chen, he spoke through his gritted teeth.

The Western Sea Young Palace Master felt very sullen but also said the same thing. He was not willing to continue kneeling here any longer, much less the whole night. That was absolutely out of the question.
