Initially, Chen Daoxuan mentioned some trouble, causing a bit of concern among the people present, especially Leng Yanran, who nearly suggested that her master should flee.
But immediately following, his next words left everyone in bewilderment.
It was clear that he wasn't worried about getting injured himself but was rather concerned for the other party!
Hiss... How arrogant is that!
"Arrogant ant, remember my name. In your next life, be more cautious and avoid offending the Ren family."
"I am the Ren family's clan leader, Ren–Er-Er!"
The Ren family's clan leader was furious upon hearing Chen Daoxuan's words, but before he could finish his haughty statement, he found himself unable to make a sound!
Chen Daoxuan, who was standing at the mountain peak where the Holy Mountain faction were a moment ago, was now gripping his neck with one hand, looking at him with a cold, indifferent expression!
The four elders of the Ren family were startled, unable to see when Chen Daoxuan had even made his move. How had he managed to strangle their clan leader's neck in the blink of an eye?
"When did that happen?"
"What kind of movement technique is this?"
The Ren Family Ancestral Patriarch's pupils shrank sharply.
Even with his Fourth Layer of the Spirit Dividing Realm strength, he couldn't discern Chen Daoxuan's movements at all—only a faint afterimage where Chen Daoxuan had been standing.
Among everyone present, there were several in the Spirit Dividing Realm, yet not a single person could see Chen Daoxuan's moves, including the elders from the Holy Mountain, who all widened their eyes in shock!
"Release the clan leader!"
"Attack!"
As the Ren family processed what had happened, they erupted into action, attacking Chen Daoxuan. Each technique they unleashed carried terrifying power, and given the close distance, there was no room for him to dodge!
However, after the four attacks collided with a loud "boom" and the light dispersed, everyone was even more stunned!
Not only was there no trace of Chen Daoxuan, but even the Ren family clan leader had disappeared along with him!
"When did it happen?"
"What kind of movement technique is this?"
When everyone finally located Chen Daoxuan, they found he had already returned to the mountain peak where the Holy Mountain member was, looking calmly at the Ren Family Ancestral Patriarch and four elders, clutching the clan leader's neck like he was holding a small chicken.
Despite being a Ninth Layer of the Boundless Realm powerhouse, the Ren Family clan leader couldn't even struggle against him!
It seemed as if all his spiritual energy had been sealed, leaving the Ren family clan leader completely unable to muster any resistance!
"So, your name is Ren... Er-Er, right?"
"Alright, for what you said earlier, kowtow to my disciple, and we'll consider the matter settled."
"Oh? You're unwilling?"
"Let me help you."
Ignoring the shocked crowd, Chen Daoxuan held onto the clan leader's neck and spoke very calmly.
Seeing no movement to kneel from the Ren family clan leader, Chen Daoxuan simply stomped down with both feet.
Crack! Crack! With two crisp sounds, the Ninth Layer of the Boundless Realm clan leader's legs were crippled by Chen Daoxuan!
Then, pressing him down in front of Leng Yanran, he grabbed the clan leader's head and smashed it into the ground three times with a resounding bang! bang! bang!
Without any spiritual energy to resist, the clan leader was nearly beaten to death with those three brutal slams, his vision turning to stars, blood pouring from his orifices!
"Well, alright, the matter of insulting my disciple is settled now."
"You look exhausted, so lie down and rest for a bit. Later, I'll send you all on your way together."
Seeing the clan leader barely clinging to life, barely able to breathe, Chen Daoxuan casually tossed him to the ground.
"Master…"
Everyone present was dumbfounded, including Leng Yanran herself, bewildered. How had her master already incapacitated someone before the fight even began?
And right under the Ren Family Ancestral Patriarch's watchful eyes, he had dragged someone out and crippled them?
"Set up the formation!"
The Ren Family Ancestral Patriarch, shocked and enraged, glared at Chen Daoxuan and waved his hand, summoning a formation flag from the fallen Ren family clan leader lying on the ground.
The other four elders, seeing Chen Daoxuan's terrifying power, dared not take him lightly anymore, fearful that they too might be seized and crushed in an instant!
Each of them took out a formation flag, representing the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—and together they formed the Five-Star Array Flag. This array channeled the power of the five elements, making it formidable even for Spirit Dividing Realm experts to handle!
Once the formation was complete, the five of them became as one, and Chen Daoxuan could no longer defeat them individually, as any attack would be shared across all five.
"Fire Formation!"
With a wave of the flag, the Ren Family Ancestral Patriarch summoned a mighty fire dragon from the formation. After a resonant dragon roar, it charged directly at Chen Daoxuan!
"What a powerful attack," Chen Daoxuan murmured, slightly frowning as he watched the imposing fire dragon approach.
"Boy, do you now understand the consequences of provoking the Ren family?" sneered the Ren Family Ancestral Patriarch. "Too bad, it's too late for regrets!"
The Ren Family Ancestral Patriarch wore a grim smile. "The Ren family's Five-Star Array Flag is so strong that even I wouldn't dare withstand it alone. And it can lock onto his aura, so he won't be able to dodge forever, no matter how special his movement technique is."
The Palace Master of the Xiaoyao Palace, observing the scene, couldn't help but marvel at the power of the Ren family's Five-Star Array Flag.
"Damn, they're attacking us as well!" The elders of the Holy Mountain scowled, quickly erecting a spiritual barrier to shield themselves from the potential aftermath. The barrier also protected Leng Yanran and the Ren family clan leader, but Chen Daoxuan was left outside alone.
Boom! The fire dragon collided fiercely with Chen Daoxuan, exploding into flames that engulfed the entire area. As the dragon disintegrated from head to tail, it dissipated into embers and steam.
"Master!!!" Leng Yanran cried out, banging desperately against the barrier. The Holy Mountain elders, however, had no intention of removing the barrier, as the aftershock alone could be lethal for many nearby.
Everyone was certain that Chen Daoxuan couldn't have survived such a direct hit.
But as the flames cleared, a lone figure remained, standing unfazed. Chen Daoxuan had one hand behind his back, and his other hand was raised in front of him, steam still rising from it!
"So strong," he muttered in surprise. "It almost burned me!"
Chen Daoxuan was genuinely astonished.
Despite his formidable cultivation and a body that was practically the ultimate weapon, the fire dragon had nearly managed to scald him.
It was an impressive feat!
"Almost burned him?"
"What the hell?!"
"Is his body an immortal-grade artifact?!"
His words struck the crowd like a thunderbolt, shocking them to the core, nearly making their eyes pop out of their heads.
"Impossible!" cried the Ren Family Ancestral Patriarch, utterly thunderstruck. "You must have used some kind of defensive artifact. No one could withstand the Ren family's Five-Star Array Flag bare-handed!"
