Chapter 776: You Forgot Your Saber

Chapter 776: You Forgot Your Saber

A mark on Xiao Chen’s forehead flickered as he soared into the air, charging over without fear.

His fists danced around, executing Myriad Heaven Divine Fist. Sagely music resounded in the area.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Quintessence surged and strong winds howled. Three figures flashed quickly in the air, clashing against each other. Every time they exchanged attacks, a thunderous sound rang out.

By relying on his state and might, Xiao Chen did not end up at a disadvantage. He even seemed to have the upper hand.

The light of the immortal will of thunder contained a mental pressure, making it hard to breathe.

As a purple electric light flickered behind Xiao Chen, he looked like he stood on a sea of lightning. The two’s states crumbled upon contact, unable to compete.

“Radiance of Deities!” Xiao Chen shouted, and a blazing light flared up on his fist. A majestic pillar of light containing the immortal will of thunder surged out.

Xuan Ye and Xuan Shui used their defensive Martial Techniques but were still overwhelmed. Blood leaked out of their mouths as they went sailing back five kilometers.

Xiao Chen chased after them closely. He released all the light of his will. His black hair flew everywhere, and his white clothes fluttered wildly, making him look like an ancient deity.

They exchanged another hundred moves. The two’s Heavenly Sage Laws were not as resilient as Xiao Chen’s. They had not comprehended a will, either. Hence, they could not display their advantage in experience.

Keep retreating!

As the blazing setting sun dyed the lakeshore of Misleading Fog Lake scarlet, a strange sight appeared—a half-Sage pursuing two Inferior Grade Martial Sages, forcing them to flee in a sorry state.

“Boom!”

The two no longer dared to hold back. They steeled themselves and transformed into their true forms. Two twenty-odd-meter-tall Three-Tailed Spirit Foxes appeared right away. Their eyes glowed red, glaring at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen focused himself. He stopped the chase and stood in the air. After they revealed their true forms, the two’s combat prowess doubled. When working together, they had considerable offensive power.

The tails of the two Spirit Foxes stood on end as a strong aura poured out of them. A cloud of dust slowly floated up under the pressure of the aura.

“Roar!”

Both Spirit Foxes roared ferociously and leaped up, using their full power as they charged at Xiao Chen.

After Xuan Ye and Xuan Shui transformed into their true forms, their auras became as heavy as a mountain. A strong wind blew as they forced Xiao Chen into moving back.

I have to finish this fast!

Xiao Chen made up his mind and released a dazzling light from his forehead. The purple talisman that represented his will immediately flew out.

As the radiance glowed, the purple electric light flickered without stopping. A boundless pressure surged out and repulsed the auras of the two.

“Bang! Bang!”

The purple talisman shot out resplendent immortal electric lights resembling meteors, striking Xuan Shui and Xuan Ye one after another.

As expected, the two could not resist at all. They immediately went flying back miserably and crashed somewhere extremely far away.

A huge dust cloud ballooned into the air. Xuan Shui and Xuan Ye took on human form again and vomited mouthfuls of blood. As they looked at the distant Xiao Chen, their eyes filled with horror.

“We have to inform the Clan Head. This fellow is a demonic genius. He has already comprehended a will. Ordinary Inferior Grade Martial Sages like us are definitely not a match for him.”

The two immediately fled, not daring to stay a second longer.

As Xiao Chen looked in the direction the two left in, he shook his head and did not bother chasing. If he used his newly comprehended Movement Technique, he would no doubt be able to catch up within an hour.

However, this place was the Fiend Domain after all. If he allowed this to drag on and attracted some Fiend Domain experts, there would be trouble.

Xiao Chen called back the talisman and landed on the ground. Then he retrieved the spatial rings of the forty half-Sages. After that, he picked up Xuan Feng’s spatial ring and quickly left this place.

He had yet to check the thirty-odd half-Sages’ spatial rings from over three months ago. Now, he collected another forty as well as an Inferior Grade Martial Sage’s spatial ring.

Once he organized everything, he would surely have a huge harvest.

Not long after Xiao Chen left, a burly man with thick eyebrows and tiger robes landed on the lakeshore of Misleading Fog Lake.

This burly man’s eyes were like lightning, gleaming with radiance. The five hundred Heavenly Sage Laws behind him were as thick as an arm. As they moved around, they gave off a tyrannical aura.

Five hundred Heavenly Sage Laws were already the limit for what an Inferior Grade Martial Sage could form.

Based on the thickness of this person’s Heavenly Sage Laws, he had been stuck at peak Inferior Grade Martial Sage for a long time already. Otherwise, he would not have refined his Heavenly Sage Laws until they were that thick.

The burly man looked at the corpses with tattered clothes on the ground. He frowned slightly and muttered, “They are the people of the Silver Moon Spirit Fox Race’s Xuan Clan. Unexpectedly, they were still beaten into such a sorry state after transforming into their true forms.”

Hey!

The burly man squinted when he noticed Xuan Feng’s body. He rushed forward and inspected it, then sank into deep thought.

Xuan Feng’s injuries were massive, especially his internal injuries. It looked like a huge force smashed into him and ruptured his internal organs.

However, this force was not the cause of his death, which was, in fact, the finger-sized bloody hole in his forehead.

After glancing at Xuan Feng’s empty hand, a scene appeared in the burly man’s mind. He saw a man with a cold expression taking away Xuan Feng’s spatial ring; then that man casually pointed and pierced through Xuan Feng’s forehead.

The causes of death for the forty half-Sages were identical, showing the apathetic nature of that person. He looked at life and death casually and was decisive in killing others for treasure.

“Why was a person who can easily suppress a group of Xuan Clan cultivators interested in the treasures of a few half-Sages?”

The burly man looked at the nearby Misleading Fog Lake and sank into contemplation, considering all he had picked up everywhere. However, he could not understand what had happened, so he had no choice but to leave this place.

After this burly man left, countless figures no weaker than the burly man landed on the ground. They all had vicious gazes. They all saw the queerness of the matter.

Fortunately, Xiao Chen had not been greedy. Otherwise, after fighting the two Xuan Clan Martial Sages for a while longer, he might really have gotten into trouble with this group of people.

As Xiao Chen moved, electrical light exploded under his feet. As an Azure Dragon image snaked up and down, he traveled five kilometers instantly. Furthermore, this was not his full speed.

If he went at full speed regardless of the expenditure of Quintessence, he could cross ten kilometers in an instant.

After traveling for four hundred kilometers, he found a desolate place to stop. He intended to take some time to organize the spatial rings he had collected.

Xiao Chen had seventy-odd half-Sages’ spatial rings and one Inferior Grade Martial Sage’s spatial ring. The total would no doubt be worth a large amount of money.

When checking the contents of the half-Sages’ spatial rings, Xiao Chen looked for Astral Coins. After all, these half-Sages were unlikely to have any great treasure. If they did, they would have already used it long ago.

These half-Sages were of varying strengths and statuses. All combined, there was a total of three million Astral Coins.

Xiao Chen’s wealth more than doubled, reaching five million Astral Coins.

The Breaking Sage Pill required many precious materials to refine. Xiao Chen would obviously need to spend a large number of Astral Coins. He also had the last five layers of the Firmament Body Tempering Art.

Each layer he advanced to required great treasures worth a massive sum. Now, he urgently needed Astral Coins, the more, the better.

Xiao Chen then checked Xuan Feng’s spatial ring. As an Inferior Grade Martial Sage, this fellow should not be as poor as those half-Sages.

Indeed, Xiao Chen found one and a half million Astral Coins. Adding them to what he already had in his Universe Ring, he had a total of six and a half million Astral Coins.

If he sold off the miscellaneous items of these people, he could obtain another half a million Astral Coins, so he currently had the spending power of seven million Astral Coins.

After tidying everything up, Xiao Chen started to reflect on the fight with the three Martial Sages.

These three Inferior Grade Martial Sages had ordinary talent. The youngest was probably at least two hundred years old. However, they were still stuck at early-stage Inferior Grade Martial Sage.

In truth, Xiao Chen did not feel much of a sense of accomplishment at defeating these people. Before he comprehended a will, he was already a match for Xuan Feng. After he comprehended a will, his strength in every aspect experienced an explosive increase.

Even so, he had still failed to defeat the other two Inferior Grade Martial Sages, who were about as strong as Xuan Feng. That result was too unbecoming.

Xiao Chen wondered what kind of changes the Tianwu Domain’s seven giants experienced. They were all demonic geniuses as well. Even if they did not meet with any fortuitous encounter, they could not remain as they were, either.

However, no matter how much they improved, Xiao Chen believed that he could fight them on even ground now. Aside from An Junxi, he was confident that he had an eighty percent chance of defeating them.

In the past, Bai Wuxue could beat Xiao Chen into a sorry state with one Great Icy Cold Palm, requiring Xiao Chen to use his full power to resist it.

Now that their arrangement of one year was drawing to a close, it was about time to give Bai Wuxue a pleasant surprise. When Xiao Chen thought of the disdain Bai Wuxue had for him, a blazing flame lit up in his gaze.

After Xiao Chen collected his thoughts, a brilliant light appeared in his palm. That was the dark-side core Great Roc Spreading Wings Painting piece.

However, this time, the dark aura was nowhere in sight. Xiao Chen felt no discomfort holding it in his hand. As the spiritual light flowed around, it even made him feel more comfortable.

The Divine Lightning had already purified the dark aura. If he wanted to absorb it, he could do so at any time.

However, Ao Jiao suggested that Xiao Chen hold off for now. Since the core painting piece divided into two, he would still have only three opportunities like before. If he could merge the two core painting pieces back into one, he would have ten opportunities.

Ying Qiong should have sensed that her core painting piece was not complete and would not be in a rush to absorb it.

In the future, if Xiao Chen met Ying Qiong again, he might have a chance to merge the two core painting pieces back together.

“Let’s return to Hunluo City first. There are some things that I have not finished dealing with there yet.”

Xiao Chen put away the core painting piece and looked in the direction of the distant Hunluo Province.

Just as he prepared to set out, Ao Jiao said, Xiao Chen, do you feel that even though your strength increased significantly, you’ve forgotten something very basic?

“What did I forget?” Xiao Chen asked curiously after he stopped.

Ao Jiao replied with a serious expression, You forgot your saber. You forgot you are a bladesman. Since you started practicing the Myriad Heaven Divine Fist, this problem has become more serious.

The Myriad Heaven Divine Fist allows you to take advantage of your previously useless vast Mental Energy. However, you are too engrossed in it. Now that you have comprehended the immortal will of thunder, you favor using force to suppress your opponent.

Have you thought about how will you manage if you meet another demonic genius like yourself? Like Yan Shisan, An Junxi, or the three Holy Scions? These people have comprehended a will as well, and their individual strength is no weaker than yours. They might even be stronger than you.
