Wen Xiao Cheng Xuan’s confident and domineering words resonated.
Gu Chen already understood that the battle today was inevitable.
“Young and promising, indeed! This old man will have a go with the Martial King. Let's see if I can add a ‘defeat’ to your undefeated record!”
As he spoke calmly, Gu Chen’s hands glided across the strings of the zither before him, as if sensing something.
With a sharp pluck of the strings, Gu Chen let out a piercing sound before looking towards the void with displeasure: “Who’s there?!”
A massive black-purple handprint descended from the sky, carrying with it an aura of darkness and terror.
Xiao Cheng Xuan’s brows furrowed slightly. Behind him,
Xue Ying Ye Yu, clad in black robes, unsheathed his sword. A crimson blade cut through the black-purple handprint.
Two figures appeared from the void, entering the sight of everyone present.
A tall and thin man with an evil gaze: “Wu Fa!”
A chubby, round man in colorful clothing, appearing benevolent like a Buddha: “Wu Tian!”
Upon hearing these names,
Xiao Cheng Xuan’s companions, Xiao Ruofeng and Bai Li Luo Chen, all felt their pupils constrict.
Xiao Ruofeng, being a young teacher at the Academy, naturally knew many secrets, and his expression turned serious: “Are they from the Tian Wai Tian Demon Cult?”
Wu Fa and Wu Tian ignored Xiao Ruofeng.
Their eyes landed on the Confucian Immortal, Gu Chen.
“Gu Xian Sheng, long time no see!”
Gu Chen’s expression remained unchanged: “Wu Fa, Wu Tian, you two have finally arrived. This old man has been waiting for you.”
Upon hearing this, the chubby, round man in colorful clothing, Wu Tian, chuckled: “Hahaha, Gu Xian Sheng, thinking back to twenty years ago when we fought together against Bei Li, it feels like yesterday!
“Are you willing to join forces again and achieve our great goals?”
Gu Chen stood up, his hands behind his back.
“Joining forces? I’ll pass. You, Bei Que, use the cult as your nation and martial strength as your power. I never liked that back then!”
As he spoke, Gu Chen waved his hand.
A sword flew from an unknown location, its blade imbued with ancient sword qi.
Gu Chen grasped the sword, his white hair fluttering like a celestial being, his gaze filled with complex emotions as he looked at the sword in his hand: “Old friend, it has been too long since you’ve been used. I’ve done you an injustice!”
Faced with Gu Chen’s undisguised killing intent,
Wu Fa and Wu Tian remained unfazed, instead, they looked at Xiao Cheng Xuan!
“Martial King Xiao Cheng Xuan? You are the son of Xiao Chong Jing? I heard you’ve reached the Da Xi Yao realm. Interesting, indeed.”
“I told you, this is where the big fish are. A Martial King, a Confucian Immortal, and that kid from the Bai Li family, hmph, we’ll take them all!”
“As long as we bring them back to Tian Wai Tian, I’ll see how that Wu Xiang brat dares to boss us around!”
Hearing Wu Fa and Wu Tian’s words,
the black-robed Xue Ying Ye Yu exuded an overwhelming sword intent, ready to attack.
Even Bai Hei Luo Li, Si Kong Chang Feng, and Ye Ding Zhi stepped forward.
No one in the world can insult their Highness.
But Xiao Cheng Xuan gently waved his hand, stopping them.
Wu Fa and Wu Tian were the four grand envoys of Tian Wai Tian, and they had both entered the Da Xi Yao realm many years ago.
They were even considered top-tier experts within the Da Xi Yao realm.
But would that matter?
Xiao Cheng Xuan looked at them, a playful smile spreading across his face:
“This King doesn’t like killing. Battling a Confucian Immortal is a way to hone our respective dao. But fighting you two makes me sick. For disgusting insects, this King prefers to crush them!”
As he spoke, Xiao Cheng Xuan floated into the sky: “Wu Fa, Wu Tian, tell me, do you think this King will use a blade to cut you, or a sword to cleave you? Which would you prefer?”
“Hahaha, little brat, do you know the power of this Wu Fa and Wu Tian duo? Fine, before we kill Gu Chen, we’ll use you, the most brilliant prodigy of the Xiao royal family, as our whetstone!”
Wu Fa and Wu Tian were enraged by Xiao Cheng Xuan’s condescending tone.
Wu Fa’s body.
A bone-chilling force suddenly gathered, forming a massive, twisted handprint.
The edges of the handprint were flickering with an eerie, ghostly glow, like the flames of hell burning, casting an eerie shadow on the surrounding darkness.
Behind Wu Tian.
A gigantic Buddha silently emerged. His entire body was a deep, dark purple, as if stained by endless resentment.
The Buddha’s face was twisted and grotesque, his eyes flashing with bloodlust.
The light seemed to pierce the hearts of men, evoking the deepest fears within them.
“Skeleton Blood Hand, Life-Stealing Buddha, those are the two skills that made Wu Fa and Wu Tian famous!”
A look of worry crossed Gu Chen’s eyes.
He had no personal grudge against Xiao Cheng Xuan, and even admired this king of the Xiao family. He didn’t want this gifted prodigy to die here.
However, what happened next caused Gu Chen’s eyes to widen in disbelief.
Everyone’s gaze was fixed on the sky.
Xiao Cheng Xuan stood proudly in the heavens.
A blood-red battle blade, shimmering with light, appeared in his hand.
Xiao Cheng Xuan grasped the blood-shadow battle blade, his whole body exuding boundless majesty and determination.
He then unleashed the power within his body, his boundless momentum sweeping outwards like a hurricane, activating the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade.
“Zizala～”
Electric arcs flashed, and in an instant, the sky changed color. The once clear sky was suddenly enveloped in darkness.
Thunder rumbled and roared in the clouds, deafening explosions echoing without end.
Purple electric arcs danced wildly on the blood-shadow battle blade, like trapped demons desperate to break free.
Around Xiao Cheng Xuan, electrical light interweaved, creating a scene both dazzling and terrifying.
At this moment, a graceful figure in a veil appeared outside the peach forest.
It was Yue Yao, the Bei Que Empress. Yue Yao’s expression was anxious and fearful as she looked at Xiao Cheng Xuan in the sky.
With a worried and petulant tone, she cried out, “Martial King, spare him!”
Xiao Cheng Xuan merely glanced coldly at Yue Yao, remaining unmoved. Then he turned his indifferent gaze back to Wu Fa and Wu Tian.
Women only slow down his draw.
“Wu Fa, Wu Tian, enjoy the judgment of this King’s Nine-Layered Thunder Blade!”
Xiao Cheng Xuan spoke coldly, then without hesitation, his gaze emotionless, he swung his blade.
This single strike seemed to condense all the power in the heavens and earth.
The purple electric arcs instantly transformed into massive pillars of lightning, charging forward along with the blade’s momentum.
Wherever it passed, space shattered and the earth cracked.
It was as if this single strike truly possessed the power to destroy heaven and earth, striking fear into the hearts of all.
All things in the world seemed infinitely small and fragile in the face of this terrifying power.
“No, it can’t be, this power has touched that level........”
“Ah.......”
The black-purple handprint and the evil Buddha were instantly cleaved apart by the blade’s shadow.
Wu Fa and Wu Tian, amidst fear and screams, were consumed by the endless blade intent.
Annihilated into dust, reduced to nothingness!
