Chapter 86: Xiao Chen Battles Wang He (1)

"Great Elder!" The disciples of the Wang family were shocked, hardly able to believe that even Wang Kongyuan couldn't withstand a single punch from Xiao Chen.

"Xiao Chen's strength is incredible! It's unbelievably strong! Even Wang Kongyuan at the late stage of the Fasting stage was sent flying by his punch!" Yang Changfeng exclaimed, his breath quickening in disbelief.

"Master is so strong," a disciple of the Xiao family said, his face full of astonishment.

The entire Xiao family was shocked by the overwhelming power displayed by Xiao Chen. Xiao Changfeng and the two elders finally understood why Xiao Chen dared to make such bold statements—it was because he had enough strength to contend with the Wang family.

"Could it be that Chen'er has reached that realm?" Xiao Changfeng was deeply shaken, looking at Xiao Chen's back in disbelief.

"Is he really the same useless Xiao Chen from back then? In just three years, he has changed so drastically. He's only 15 years old, yet he defeated Wang Kongyuan at the late stage of the Fasting stage with one punch. Could he have broken through to the Golden Core stage? It's unbelievable," Gu Yan, who was watching from a distance, was also terrified by Xiao Chen's strength.

"To be able to send Wang Kongyuan flying with one punch, it seems that Xiao Chen's cultivation has already advanced to the Golden Core stage! Three years ago, Xiao Chen was still considered useless, and in just three years, he's reached the Golden Core stage? What is going on here? Could it be related to the destruction of the Tiandao Sect back then?" Yang Zhengxiong was astonished. At this moment, he finally understood why Xiao Chen didn't need the Yang family's help—because Xiao Chen already possessed formidable power. However, he was puzzled as to how Xiao Chen had become so powerful, as three years was indeed a very short time.

"Xiao Chen!" Wang He's face was extremely dark, veins bulging like little green snakes due to his anger, his intense killing intent soaring.

"Such terrifying killing intent!" The onlookers felt Wang He's fury and astonishing killing intent and retreated in fear.

"Buzz buzz!"

The powerful force of the mid-stage Golden Core erupted wildly, causing the Wang family disciples to retreat as well. A spiderweb-like crack appeared under Wang He's feet, and the ground vibrated with a humming sound.

"Father, everyone, please step back!" Xiao Chen said, his cold gaze sweeping towards Wang He.

"Chen'er, be careful, Wang He's strength is formidable!" Xiao Changfeng hurriedly reminded, though worried in his heart. Whether they could repel the Wang family now depended on Xiao Chen, as no one else in the Xiao family had the strength to fight Wang He.

All eyes were on Xiao Chen. Facing Wang He's terrifying strength, they all wanted to know how Xiao Chen, who had left Fengyue City for three years, would deal with Wang He and how powerful he had become.

"Bang!"

Xiao Chen stared at Wang He for a moment, then slightly bent his body. With a sudden forceful stomp, there was a dull thud as his feet pressed into the ground, creating a large pit. Xiao Chen transformed into a black line, charging towards Wang He at a terrifying speed, faster than anyone could imagine.

"What? This... this speed!" Yang Zhengxiong's eyes widened in shock at Xiao Chen's speed.

"So fast!" Wang He was clearly surprised as well.

"Bang!"

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Chen appeared in front of Wang He, his face calm and eyes chilling, throwing a punch towards Wang He's head. Wang He quickly responded with a punch of his own. With a dull thud, Xiao Chen's violent power forced Wang He back three steps!

"How is this possible? What kind of strength is this?" Wang He was shocked. After exchanging punches, his arm was slightly tingling.

As Wang He blocked the punch, Xiao Chen quickly followed up with another punch. Wang He rapidly stepped back, his body flying diagonally into the air.

"Boom!"

Xiao Chen's terrifying punch struck the ground below with a loud explosion. The force was so great that his fist sank into the ground. Several of the Wang family disciples nearby were so frightened they fell to the ground.

"So fast! I didn't even see it!" one cultivator exclaimed in shock. He only reacted after Xiao Chen finished his attack.

"Xiao... Xiao Chen actually forced Wang He back! How powerful must that be! Wang He is at the mid-stage of the Golden Core!" Yang Changfeng gasped in shock.

"Xiao Chen's strength is so violent! He pierced the ground!" Seeing Xiao Chen's fist embedded in the ground, Gu Yan was pale with shock.

Yang Zhengxiong was once again amazed. "Xiao Chen's physique is incredibly strong. He forced Wang He back without even using his true essence! This is no ordinary talent. Advancing to the Golden Core stage in three years is simply genius!"

Yang Zhengxiong felt deep regret. It was because Xiao Chen was considered useless that the Yang family had annulled the engagement. Now, three years later, Xiao Chen had returned with strength surpassing all his peers.

"So powerful..." The cultivators in Fengyue City were stunned. Xiao Chen's displayed strength was beyond their imagination. To be able to force Wang He back, what kind of power was that?

The most shocked were the members of the Xiao family. They originally thought the Xiao family was doomed and were filled with despair. But now, seeing Xiao Chen's strength, it felt like a dream. Not only did he easily defeat Wang Xuan and Wang Kongyuan, but he also forced Wang He back.

Xiao Chen slowly withdrew his fist from the ground, shaking off the debris from his arm. His cold gaze swept towards the sky, a hint of a sneer appearing on his face as he slowly rose into the air.

"Xiao Chen has indeed reached the Golden Core stage! And he has mastered the ability to fly! Madam, your decision back then brought shame to our Yang family!" Yang Zhengxiong was the first to exclaim, filled with regret for annulling the engagement years ago.

"Master, the young master... he... he's flying!" a disciple of the Xiao family said in shock.

"Xiao Chen is flying! The Golden Core stage! Xiao Chen has broken through to the Golden Core stage!" someone in the crowd exclaimed, causing an instant uproar.

"Hey! Look! Xiao Chen... Xiao Chen is flying! The Golden Core stage!"

"How is this possible? When did Xiao Chen reach the Golden Core stage? He's only 15!"

"Though I guessed Xiao Chen had broken through to the Golden Core stage, seeing it with my own eyes is still unbelievable." Gu Yan was in a daze, unable to describe his shock.

The onlookers were like a noisy market, unable to believe what they were seeing. A 15-year-old Xiao Chen had not only reached the Golden Core stage but also mastered flying.

High in the sky, Wang He saw Xiao Chen flying towards him and was deeply shocked. A young boy with such terrifying Golden Core stage strength was unprecedented in Fengyue City.

"So that's it. No wonder you're so arrogant. It turns out you've reached the Golden Core stage!" After his shock, Wang He spoke coldly, his eyes narrowing into a line, locking his powerful aura on Xiao Chen.

"You surprised me just now, but if you think that little bit of strength can deal with me, you're wrong!" Wang He said coldly, attacking suddenly with his true essence activated.

The reason Wang He was forced back earlier was that he hadn't expected Xiao Chen to have such violent strength, catching him off guard.

"Bang!"

Wang He stepped on the void, charging towards Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen also launched himself without hesitation. Their speeds were astonishing, and within a few breaths, they were engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat!

"Bang bang bang!"

Xiao Chen and Wang He unleashed a flurry of attacks, their fists and feet colliding violently. A series of dull thuds spread out, the powerful force causing the space to ripple. The onlookers were dumbfounded, turning to stone as they witnessed such a powerful and intense battle for the first time.

"Xiao Chen can fight so powerfully! Is he really a 15-year-old boy?" Yang Zhengxiong was in a daze, his shock evident on his face. As the head of the Yang family, his loss of composure showed just how much Xiao Chen had shocked him.

"Bang!"

"Rumble!"

After two minutes of intense fighting, Xiao Chen was hit by a punch from Wang He, his body falling like a black line, crashing into a building below with a loud explosion, causing it to collapse.

"Xiao Chen, how do you like my power? Not even Yang Zhengxiong could defeat me!" Wang He sneered, feeling a bit proud after hitting Xiao Chen.

"Chen'er!" Seeing Xiao Chen get hit, Xiao Changfeng's heart tightened, his face filled with panic.

"Xiao Chen, you must not lose! Only you can fight Wang He now. If you fall, the Xiao family is finished!" Xiao Lei said in horror, his body trembling. It was the first time he had seen such an intense battle.

"Xiao Chen was hit! He's no match for Wang He," Yang Changfeng quickly said.

"Don't be so quick to conclude. Xiao Chen hasn't used his full strength yet! He's definitely not that simple! He hasn't activated his true essence, and he hasn't used the sword on his back," Yang Qing said solemnly, his eyes full of shock.

"Indeed! Xiao Chen's physique is incredibly strong, far beyond our imagination. Wang He's punch couldn't hurt him at all!" Yang Zhengxiong nodded in agreement.

Xiao Chen slowly rose from the collapsed building, his aura completely steady, showing no signs of injury. However, his black robe was somewhat dirty.

"Xiao Chen, it seems your flying skills are not yet fully mastered! But comprehending flight in such a short time is already quite impressive!" The Ancient White Tiger communicated telepathically, laughing, not worried about Xiao Chen.

Seeing Xiao Chen appear unscathed, Wang He's sneer froze slightly. He thought to himself, "I hit this kid with a punch, and he's actually unscathed."

"Wang He, you seem quite pleased! It seems I can't let the enemy be too happy!" Xiao Chen said coldly, casually dusting off his clothes as his true essence began to surge.
