Chapter 926: Through the Dark Demonic Flame
“What a coincidence, running into you two here. It looks like heaven wants you dead!”
Just as Xing Qingyun was thinking everything was fine, an old man walked out from the surging demonic flames. It was the grandmaster-level Martial Sage from the Frost Moon Palace.
The old man did not rely on any external objects in the demonic flames, only on his own cultivation, to move about as he pleased.
Xing Qingyun’s face turned into the same color as pig liver. He felt very depressed as he smiled bitterly. “Senior, why are you not chasing after that White Robed King Xiao Chen? What are you doing coming after us?”
“That brat runs really fast. He killed many of our people and still managed to slip away. However, you are not as lucky. Alliance Chief Xing, this old man said that I would slap you to death. I will honor my own words.”
After parting the flames, the Frost Moon Palace old man headed for the warship with malicious intent, approaching step by step.
Xing Qingyun’s complexion turned pale as he forced a smile. “Senior, you are joking. You only need to make such jokes once.”
The Frost Moon Palace old man walked over at a measured pace. The Dark Demonic Flame blocking him parted automatically. He smiled sinisterly and said, “Look at me. Do I look like I’m joking?”
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, “Alliance Chief Xing, you are going to hunt down the White Robed King Xiao Chen and spread our name everywhere. How can you let one grandmaster-level Martial Sage scare you like that? Go up and punch him!”
“My legs have gone soft. Big Brother Ye, how about you go? I’ll cheer for you from behind.”
“What are you afraid of? Just charge forward bravely!”
Xiao Chen pushed gently, and a considerable force poured out, propelling Xing Qingyun off the warship and sending him towards the old man dressed in the Frost Moon Palace’s uniform.
This development startled Xing Qingyun. Given his cultivation, if he left the warship, the Dark Demonic Flame would immediately swallow him up, even if the Dark Demonic Flame had weakened significantly.
He flailed around and screamed. However, after crying out for a long time, he discovered a purple barrier flickering with electric light around him that blocked out the surrounding Dark Demonic Flame.
The Frost Moon Palace’s old man could not help but laugh. “You scared this old man. It turns out that you are not even worth a fart.”
The Frost Moon Palace’s old man stepped forward and raised his right hand. He smiled coldly and said, “Unexpectedly, Alliance Chief Xing is so courageous. You really dare to come and challenge this old man!”
“Damn!”
Xing Qingyun saw the old man move around like a strong wind. It seemed like he would arrive in an instant. He was so fast that Xing Qingyun could not dodge, could not evade, could not react at all.
Just as Xing Qingyun closed his eyes in desperation, a resplendent saber light flashed in the surging Dark Demonic Flame. The saber wind easily split the Dark Demonic Flame into two, streaking towards the old man’s back.
The old man sensed extreme danger. In the time it took for a spark to fly, he spun around and threw a punch.
The aura of a grandmaster-level Martial Sage spread out, and a strong wind blew, scattering the Dark Demonic Flame and clearing the space around him.
“Bang!”
A folding fan struck the old man’s fist. Surging Quintessence poured out. An electric light exploded as rumbling filled the surrounding space.
A look of shock flashed in the old man’s eyes as he got knocked back a hundred meters despite using half of his strength in his punch.
Even though the old man had been caught off guard, he should not have been pushed back by someone who was not a grandmaster-level Martial Sage, no matter what.
Saber-like energy tore through the flesh and bones of the old man’s arm, inflicting heart-wrenching pain. He redoubled his efforts, using more Law Energy, and managed to neutralize this energy.
“Old man, I already told you, after you offended our Alliance Chief, no one in this world can save you. This date will be your death anniversary.”
As Xiao Chen held his folding fan, his purple hair flew everywhere, glimmering with a flickering crystalline light. Then, its color dimmed somewhat.
The combination of the red Sea Monarch Headscarf on Xiao Chen’s forehead and his delicate face made him look very sinister.
“Arrogant!”
The Frost Moon Palace’s old man released Xing Qingyun and ran through the demonic flames, charging towards Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen did not show any fear. With that earlier punch, he already gauged the strength of this person. Compared to the Demonic Brilliant Two Elders, the Frost Moon Palace’s old man was much weaker.
Back then, Xiao Chen’s loss to the Demonic Brilliant Two Elders was not undeserved.
As for this old man, even if Xiao Chen had not consumed the Primal Essence Nature Pill, he would not have suffered too much of a disadvantage against him.
Now, Xiao Chen’s cultivation had increased significantly. Furthermore, this fight seemed to have ignited the latent Medicinal Energy of the Primal Essence Nature Pill remaining in his body, which made Xiao Chen feel very comfortable. His cultivation even increased further.
It looked like the full effect of that Primal Essence Nature Pill took time. When Xiao Chen’s purple hair turned back to pure black, he would have thoroughly absorbed the Medicinal Energy of this Primal Essence Nature Pill.
Using the folding fan as a saber, Xiao Chen materialized the Flawless saber Dao. Then he commenced an intense battle with the Frost Moon Palace old man in the surging Dark Demonic Flame.
The immortal will of thunder covered his entire body, resulting in his aura being no inferior to the other party’s. Occasionally, with Xiao Chen’s glare, the vague form of his saber soul pierced the other party, rattling the old man.
“Peerless Frost Moon, freezing everything!”
Suddenly, a bright and cold moon rose behind the old man. The will of ice spread out together with the bright moon. “Ka ca! Ka ca!” Even the surrounding Dark Demonic Flame froze and shattered.
The old man roared ferociously and released dazzling moonlight from his right fist. With the illumination of the cold moon, he radiated icy, ruthless intent from his entire person.
Suddenly, the will of ice spread everywhere, appearing boundlessly vast. The old man’s deep cultivation allowed this will of ice to surpass Xiao Chen’s immortal will of thunder, increasing the pressure.
Xiao Chen closed the folding fan with a snap and tossed it to one side. Then he formed hand seals and materialized the chessboard of fate. When the supreme mysterious phenomenon of the universe appeared, he pushed on three stars. A black Starry Heaven Storm descended from the sky.
The Minor Magic Skill Starry Heaven Storm clashed with the unique Martial Technique of the Frost Moon Palace. Light extinguished, and the cold moon overhead wobbled.
The black storm surged out, and the Dark Demonic Flame blazed, forming berserk, howling tornadoes of Dark Demonic Flame in every direction.
Xiao Chen reached out and caught the folding fan. A bright moon rose behind him as well, a flawless full moon.
Bright moon in the sky! Only I am flawless and inextinguishable in the world!
Xiao Chen pointed with the folding fan, and his bright moon crashed into the wobbling cold moon. The overwhelming horrifyingly cold Qi, which could freeze even the Dark Demonic Flame, instantly vanished like smoke in thin air.
The pressure on Xiao Chen promptly decreased, recovering back to normal. Then, he turned into a beam of purple light as he charged towards the Frost Moon Palace’s old man once again.
With the old man’s mysterious phenomenon broken, blood leaked out from a corner of his lips. Seeing Xiao Chen charge over, he revealed an extremely shocked expression in his eyes. “Who exactly are you? That was an Immortal Art Magic Skill. Only an Immortal Cultivator can use it. However, your saber intent and Martial Technique clearly show a strong Martial Cultivation.”
Xiao Chen fanned himself with the folding fan and smiled. “I will change neither my name nor my family name. I am the Northern Sea Alliance’s Bloody Young Master Ye Chen. After old sir goes to hell, do remember who it is whom you have to take revenge on.”
Xiao Chen’s hair fluttered and gave off a crystalline light. He discovered that with this fight, his cultivation had risen again. Instead of his Law Energy depleting, it even increased, the more he fought.
If this went on, by the time he completely absorbed the Primal Essence Nature Pill’s Medicinal Energy hidden in his body, he would have no problem reaching peak late-stage Medial Grade Martial Sage.
The more Xiao Chen fought, the stronger he got; his aura flourished. On the other hand, the old man’s Law Energy drained continuously. The old man had to put in double the effort in order to resist every bit of energy piercing his body.
At this moment, it was very clear who held the advantage.
“It is still too soon if you want to kill me. If you think that these are all the trump cards a grandmaster-level Martial Sage has, you are mistaken! Today, I will show you that you should never, ever offend a grandmaster-level Martial Sage.”
A Frost Moon Palace flew out from the old man’s forehead, flashing with light. Then, dancing figures of both genders holding swords flew out from the palace.
The males were very handsome and graceful; the females were celestial and pretty. As the cold moon rose, these attractive figures turned into beams of light exuding killing Qi as they charged at Xiao Chen.
According to rumor, the Frost Moon Palace itself was an Emperor Grade Secret Treasure. The Palace Master would bestow replicas of the Frost Moon Palace to the Supreme Elders of the sect.
These replicas were somewhat similar to the three Immortal Swords of the Heaven and Earth Sect. After all, King Grade Secret Treasures were hard to make. The sect could only take a step back and use such a method to create several inferior King Grade Secret Treasures.
Of course, there would be one or two high-quality items among them, ones that used hundreds of divine materials to refine a peak King Grade Secret Treasure. These items would be bestowed on the elite disciples in the sect who were the most worthy of nurturing.
Unfortunately for this old man, the Frost Moon Palace in his hands was not a peak King Grade Secret Treasure.
The Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron flew out from Xiao Chen’s forehead, and he formed hand seals. Then, his Magic Energy burned.
The Deep Sea Black Flood Dragon, the Heavenly Phoenix, the Thousand Feathered Snake…many ancient mutated beast images emerged from the cauldron. A total of five hundred beasts leaped out before the parade came to a stop.
Although Xiao Chen could bring out only fifty percent of the cauldron’s might, the mutated beast images had all received the nourishment of the Holy Beast Medallion. The strength of each beast image was more than double that of before.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the mutated beast images of the Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron in Xiao Chen’s hand were stronger than the ones with the Lin Clan’s elders, even after their full might was brought out.
The sound of shattering echoed as the mutated beast images trampled all the light figures heading for Xiao Chen. Every time a light figure shattered, the expression on the old man’s face turned even more unsightly.
Xiao Chen smiled gently. Once all the graceful figures coming from the Frost Moon Palace were gone, he pulled back the mutated beasts.
Electric light flashed under Xiao Chen’s feet, and his figure moved like lightning. He raised the Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron and tyrannically crashed it into the Frost Moon Palace.
“Bang!” The Frost Moon Palace disintegrated and drifted apart. The old man’s consciousness was linked with this Secret Treasure. He continuously vomited blood, and his eyes looked desolate; he felt incomparably weak.
“Just an old man and you dare to be arrogant before our Demon Slaying Alliance? Brother Ye, hand this old man to me and just watch me perform. You can go and take a break.”
Xing Qingyun, who was hiding somewhere earlier, jumped out when he saw an opportunity. He rained down punches and kicks on the old man. He pulled on the old man’s hair and slapped the old man’s face resoundingly.
“This is great! Hehe! Who could have imagined? A grandmaster-level Martial Sage being slapped like a dog in my hands. I, Xing Qingyun, will definitely kill Xiao Chen, and have my name spread everywhere!”
Xing Qingyun slapped the old man very happily. His entire body felt very strong. Soon, the old man’s nose and face swelled. His qi turned weak as he howled in grief endlessly.
This unfortunate old man was mighty and powerful previously, an overlord of his region. Now, he fell at Xing Qingyun’s hand; he would feel sullen even after he died.
