Chapter 780: You Can't Stop Me

Chapter 779: Will of Thunder

Xiao Chen pushed his hand forward, and a surging vast Quintessence came from his thick Heavenly Sage Laws. He exquisitely controlled the Quintessence in the wine cup he threw.

The wine cup spun quickly, making a loud sound. However, the wine it held did not slosh at all.

The two half-Sages were not worried about it at first. However, after a moment, their expressions changed. That spinning wine cup had thumb-width Heavenly Sage Laws behind it.

Moreover, the wine cup was trailing a vast sea of lightning containing boundless energy that was hard to see with the physical eyes. This energy was several times stronger than that of the two combined.

“Dodge!” the two of them roared simultaneously and pushed off the floor. Their bodies quickly shot upwards. They reached the ceiling in the blink of an eye.

However, the Superior Grade Martial Monarchs behind them were not as alert nor did they react as quickly.

“Bang!”

A light burst out, and the electricity instantly burned to a crisp the first person the wine cup crashed into. A barbequed smell wafted out.

Then, like a chain reaction, the ten-odd people at the rear shrieked. Before this overwhelming energy, they could not resist at all.

Even ordinary half-Sages could not withstand a casual strike from Xiao Chen. What more these mere Superior Grade Martial Monarchs?

The electric light disappeared. However, the wine cup did not stop spinning. Xiao Chen reached out, and the exquisite wine cup returned to his hand.

The wine in the wine cup had heated up, raising its fragrance to another level. He gently blew on it, cooling the hot liquid.

Ten-odd Superior Grade Martial Monarchs, inner sect disciples of the Eternal Heavenly Sword School, died so easily while the wine heated up.

When Bai Qi and Xuanyuan Zhantian saw this scene, they were flabbergasted. They could not understand how Xiao Chen had grown so strong.

The two half-Sages clinging to the ceiling were horrified. Watching Xiao Chen closely, they cautiously returned to the Martial Sage’s side.

Clearly, this Xiao Chen was no ordinary half-Sage. He might be one of those demonic geniuses. Conventional standards did not apply to such people.

The two half-Sages could only place their hopes on the Martial Sage.

The gaze of the Inferior Grade Martial Sage, who looked like a middle-aged man, turned grave. He said sullenly, “This old man is Sun Liang, the person in charge of Hunluo City’s Eternal Heavenly Sword School branch. Might I ask your esteemed name and why you killed my sect’s disciples?

“If you can give me a reasonable explanation, this old man can make the decision to overlook this.”

At this moment, the Martial Sage was in a difficult position. Even though he was confident that he could suppress Xiao Chen, he did not dare to make a move.

Such a demonic genius would definitely have a very strong faction or person behind him. If they angered such factions or people, they might end up in trouble.

However, Sun Liang was reluctant to just let this go. Xiao Chen had casually killed so many people of the Eternal Heavenly Sword School at the city gates. If he could not obtain an accounting, the reputation of the Eternal Heavenly Sword School would take a significant hit.

Xiao Chen set down his wine cup and stood up. He stared at this man as he walked over. Then he said calmly, “Coincidentally, I have a question for you. If you answer me truthfully, I can put down the grudges I have with the Eternal Heavenly Sword School for the time being.

“Since you are the person in charge, you should know why the Eternal Heavenly Sword School has been collecting dragon bones for so many years, right?”

When Xiao Chen spoke, he paid no attention to Sun Liang’s concession. Instead, he started questioning him.

Such an attitude had Bai Qi and Xuanyuan Zhantian opening their eyes wide. The other party was a bona fide Martial Sage. What was Xiao Chen doing here?

Everything would be fine if they both took a step back. Why would Xiao Chen offend an Inferior Grade Martial Sage?

When Sun Liang heard this question, he raged in his heart. His expression became unsightly as he said coldly, “Every year, a few demonic geniuses that think themselves infallible end up dying. Do you know how?”

“Think myself infallible? You believe that I consider myself infallible? In that case, you are going to be disappointed.”

Electric light flashed at Xiao Chen’s feet, and he instantly arrived before Sun Liang. Before everyone’s surprised gazes, he sent a punch at the tyrant of this Hunluo City.

Electric light flowed on Xiao Chen’s fist. As the light sparked, it felt like he could even blast apart a huge mountain.

This strike startled Sun Liang. He had not expected Xiao Chen to actually dare to attack. By the time he reacted, he discovered that Xiao Chen was already right in front of him.

“Bang!”

In the time it took for a spark to fly, Sun Liang pushed off the floor and leaped up. He did not want to receive Xiao Chen’s punch without any preparation.

A hole opened up in the roof, and Sun Liang leaped out of the restaurant in a flash.

However, the two half-Sages who had been behind Sun Liang were not as lucky. Xiao Chen’s punch struck them, and an overwhelming force poured out.

The two vomited blood and went flying back with pale complexions. If they were not dead, they were at least grievously injured.

This scene held a lot of irony. Earlier, the two had dodged Xiao Chen’s wine cup and left ten-odd Martial Monarchs to die.

Now, the two immediately tasted what abandonment was like. Sun Liang, whom they had taken shelter behind, actually deserted the two, choosing to deal with the attack with the method that benefited himself the best.

Xiao Chen simply did not care about two ordinary half-Sages. He did not even bother looking at them as he leaped out as well, chasing after Sun Liang.

He felt curious about why the Eternal Heavenly Sword School collected dragon bones on such a large scale. Naturally, he would not give up on his chance to find out.

The empty floor turned silent, leaving Bai Qi and Xuanyuan Zhantian exchanging glances. This development was entirely beyond their expectations.

Bai Qi sighed and said, “No wonder he did not react when he heard that Bai Wuxue killed an Inferior Grade Martial Sage. Xiao Chen…he is always doing the unexpected.”

Before Xiao Chen, who had just leaped to the roof, could stand firmly, lightning tore through the sky. Sun Liang chopped down expressionlessly with his sword containing the might of lightning.

The electrical light above Sun Liang’s sword was muted and very plain, lacking magnificence. However, it contained the full power of his Heavenly Sage Laws with nothing held back.

Xiao Chen took out his Lunar Shadow Saber and drew it with a flip of his palm. He had no intention of dodging. Instead, he went forward to meet the attack head-on.

“Boom!”

The sword and the saber clashed, sending sparks flying. Following that, two clumps of dazzling purple light pushed against each other. Flashes of lightning lit up the surroundings incessantly.

In the sky, two banks of thunderclouds also collided intensely, rumbling thunder resounding nonstop.

The sky changed color, winds blew, and clouds moved around. Such a frightening scene immediately attracted the attention of several cultivators in Hunluo City.

Sun Liang moved up and down. He had taken the initiative to attack and had an advantage in cultivation. After fighting for a while, he held the upper hand as he slowly pushed Xiao Chen back step by step.

Joy appeared on Sun Liang’s face. He pressed down with his sword and smiled maniacally. “Today, I will show you the difference between Martial Sages and half-Sages. I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your seniors.”

Xiao Chen smiled faintly, not panicking at all. He retorted softly, “There are differences in strength among Inferior Grade Martial Sages. Unfortunately, you are one of the weaker ones. It is not your turn to teach me a lesson.”

A light flickered on Xiao Chen’s forehead as the light of the immortal will of thunder spread out. Thunder roared, instantly suppressing Sun Liang’s state of thunder until it shattered and vanished.

Xiao Chen, who had been moving back, swung his saber to block. Light burst forth and immediately knocked back Sun Liang, who held the upper hand.

The eyes of the pale Sun Liang, who ended up one kilometer away, flashed with shock. He said in a somewhat terrified quavering voice, “Will of thunder! This is the will of thunder!”

The moment Xiao Chen’s will appeared, the situation changed abruptly. Sun Liang’s state of thunder soon shattered.

The thundercloud that belonged to Sun Liang dispersed bit by bit. His aura plummeted continuously before the suppression of the will.

Sun Liang felt fear in the depths of his heart. He did not dare leap in front of Xiao Chen but stared at him in horror instead.

Will. This was something that many senior generation Martial Sages could not comprehend, yet a youth of the Tianwu Domain had actually done so.

According to rumor, anyone who comprehended a will would be able to trounce someone of a higher cultivation level, just like eating or drinking.

Unless one’s cultivation was much higher when facing an opponent with a will, only death awaited them; no other result was possible, even if one’s cultivation was higher.

Naturally, given Sun Liang’s age of more than a hundred, he had met cultivators with wills before. However, these cultivators had had higher cultivations than him; they had not needed to use their wills to deal with him.

Sun Liang had never faced a will head-on before. He always felt that the stories about wills were exaggerated. However, now that he had seen it for himself today, he no longer dared to think this way.

The light of a will, which was invisible to the physical eye, spread out from Xiao Chen’s body. The thunderclouds in the sky above roared even louder.

The boundless dark clouds shot out bolts of purple lightning like long snakes tearing through the sky.

The clouds cast a huge shadow, consigning the land to darkness. People wondered if something had happened to the sky.

On the other hand, Sun Liang’s state of thunder, which he regathered, was merely a small thundercloud. The peals of its thunder drowned in Xiao Chen’s thunder.

Compared to Xiao Chen’s, Sun Liang’s was like a small child howling helplessly, a very laughable scene.

When the several cultivators saw this scene, their expressions all changed without exception. A youth had actually driven the Branch Head of the Eternal Heavenly Sword School branch into such a miserable state.

When everyone saw Xiao Chen’s face, they exclaimed in surprise.

“Oh boy! It is really him, the White Robed Bladesman Xiao Chen!”

“Previously, there were rumors that he dominated the Star Grave Palace alone, snatching most of the Great Roc Spreading Wings Painting pieces. After not seeing him for half a year, his strength has grown to such levels. It looks like the rumors are true.”

“This fellow sure is incredible. Half a year ago, as a Martial Monarch, he dared to scare away Wu Yuankai with one shout. Half a year later, he became even more outrageous, directly suppressing a Martial Sage.”

The scene of that one night half a year ago flashed before the Hunluo City cultivators’ eyes like it was just yesterday.

After a half a year, the white-robed youth that went missing for a long time reappeared. Then, he stupefied Hunluo City’s lawless loose cultivators once again.

Xiao Chen had a cold expression as he glanced at Sun Liang, who was a kilometer away. He held his saber with one hand and pushed off against the air, charging over.

Every time Xiao Chen took a step in the air, thunder roared. It seemed to have a strange connection with his footsteps.
