Chapter 525: Regret, it's too late

Seeing the ice mirror being broken, Chen Xiao once again used the Flowing Cloud Immortal Step and rushed out of Zhou Leng's Ice Mirror Killing Formation. Then, without any pause, Chen Xiao fully used the Flowing Cloud Immortal Step, and in a blink of an eye, he had opened up a distance of more than ten feet from Zhou Leng.

He broke the Ice Mirror Killing Formation, but that black sword light consumed a full 30% of his spiritual power to have such power!

As for how much spiritual power Zhou Leng needed to use the Ice Mirror Killing Formation, Chen Xiao didn't know. But it would definitely not be more than Chen Xiao's consumption. Moreover, even if the difference was not much, with Zhou Leng's realm, his recovery speed was far beyond what Chen Xiao could match now.

Seeing that Chen Xiao had already escaped far away, Zhou Leng reacted from the shock and gave up the plan to continue chasing Chen Xiao.

The strength shown by Chen Xiao forced him to carefully consider how to deal with it. It would be best to ask Lord Ling Xiao's thoughts first. After all, the Destroying Sect cannot have any disputes with other hidden forces now...

Watching Chen Xiao run away from Zhou Leng, the people around who witnessed the whole process were completely stunned: Zhou Leng, a dignified seven-star martial saint, could not do anything to a six-star martial master. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never dare to dream of such a scene!

However, among the many shocked people, three old men who recognized Chen Xiao were the most shocked!

These three people were none other than Elder Li, Elder Wang, and Elder Qian.

"This... This is impossible!" Elder Qian stared with his eyes wide open, not daring to believe what he saw. He really couldn't accept that Chen Xiao could actually run away from Zhou Leng.

But as he accepted this fact, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Elder Qian remembered that Chen Xiao had told him during the day that he would settle accounts with him at that time! And with Chen Xiao's current strength, even Zhou Leng couldn't do anything to him. Wait for a while, won't Chen Xiao become even stronger? At that time, his revenge...

Elder Qian felt a huge pressure.

However, compared to Elder Qian's shock, Elder Li was even more surprised. When he first met Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao was indeed a one-star martial master, and in just a few days, he reached the six-star martial master. Such a terrifying advancement speed is simply amazing!

Suddenly, Elder Li thought of the fact that Chen Xiao asked him to deduct the inferior divine stone before the auction.

At that time, Elder Li did not understand why Chen Xiao wanted the inferior divine stone when he already had the middle-grade divine stone. Now it seems that Chen Xiao has already refined and absorbed the middle-grade divine stone, so he wants the inferior divine stone and continues to absorb it!

But as Elder Li figured it out, his evaluation of Chen Xiao has changed from a genius to a monster.

Elder Li is still clear about how much energy a middle-grade divine stone contains, and Chen Xiao actually absorbed it all in such a short time. This absorption speed can only be described as a monster.

Of course, after figuring this out, Elder Li felt that his move to win over Chen Xiao was quite correct. Such a monster-like existence will definitely make their auction guild stronger in the future!

Elder Li couldn't help but look forward to what kind of strength Chen Xiao would have when he came to the guild headquarters in two months.

As for now, Elder Li looked at Elder Qian and said with a smile.

"Hehe... It's all in front of us, what's impossible? Elder Qian, I hope you don't forget what you did today."

Based on Elder Qian's behavior during the day, Elder Li would no longer have a good attitude towards him. Now the strength shown by Chen Xiao has obviously frightened Elder Qian.

At this point, it must be said that Elder Li felt very happy.

"Humph! Even if he runs away from Zhou Leng, what? Isn't he just a martial honor? I don't believe he can survive if he offends the extermination sect. It is estimated that it won't be long before Xiao Chen disappears directly from the three domains." Elder Qian said stubbornly.

"Haha." Elder Li sneered, "Elder Qian's words are very good. I just don't know if you can still say this to Xiao Chen in two months when he arrives at the guild headquarters."

"You..." Elder Li's words made Elder Qian angry, but he really didn't dare to say this to Chen Xiao. Even Zhou Leng couldn't take down Chen Xiao, and Elder Qian was only a six-star martial saint, so is that enough?

"Hmph!" With a heavy cold snort, Elder Qian didn't talk nonsense with Elder Li anymore and left with his sleeves.

While waiting for him to leave, Elder Wang spoke.

"Elder Li, the strength of Xiao Chen is really amazing. It seems that you have picked up a treasure this time." Elder Wang sighed.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Elder Li's expression turned into worry: "It is true that we have found a treasure. However, it is still uncertain whether Xiao Chen can safely overcome the difficulties ahead."

Although Elder Li was very happy when he mocked Elder Qian just now, it was indeed as Elder Qian said that Chen Xiao had provoked the extermination sect and would be hunted down by them. Even if Chen Xiao had already planned to go to the Nine-fold Domain, it would take at least half a month to get from here to the Nine-fold Domain. No one could predict what he would encounter in the meantime.

"Don't worry, Xiao Chen is a lucky man. Moreover, with the strength he has shown, I can also ask my men to help him after I return to the headquarters." Elder Wang said.

Hearing what he said, Elder Li felt more at ease. Just at this time, someone knocked on the door.

"Come in." Old Li said, and then the door was pushed open. It was his subordinates. "What's the matter?"

"Old Li, the person you sent to notify Zhao Xing's team has returned. However, Zhao Xing and his team are no longer in the city. They left the city at noon today." The subordinate reported.

"Left the city?" Old Li was a little surprised, and hurriedly asked again, "Have you figured out where they went?"

Since he promised Chen Xiao, Old Li would naturally get things done.

"It has been investigated clearly. They received the heavenly mission issued by the mission guild and went to the Nine-fold Domain to explore the ruins of the God of War." The subordinate replied.

"Going to the Nine-fold Domain?" Old Li was stunned. He didn't expect that Zhao Xing and his team were also going to the ruins of the God of War. In this way, they should have a chance to meet Chen Xiao later. Then it would not be a big problem if Old Li didn't notify them.

"Okay, go down first. It's okay." After thinking about this, Old Li waved his hand to let his subordinates leave. Afterwards, he and Elder Wang chatted for a while before they separated...

When the two elders finished their conversation, Zhou Leng had already returned to his residence and reported Chen Xiao's affairs to Ling Xiao in detail.
