Chapter 7

"Hmph, since you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"

Bai Yu sneered, showing no fear. With a flash, he also rushed upward and engaged in battle with Xiao Fa.

Meanwhile, on the Martial Arts Field...

Xiao Hai turned his gaze toward Xiao Chen, a sinister sneer spreading across his face.

"Haha, I might as well tell you now that Master Bai has already broken through to level nine of the Spirit Incarnation Realm. Xiao Fa, you can't protect yourself now!"

He laughed maniacally and walked toward Xiao Chen, reaching out a hand to grab him.

"You really piss me off!"

Xiao Chen opened his eyes and glared at Xiao Hai, hissing, "I piss you off? You're hilarious! So what if I do?"

Xiao Hai laughed disdainfully, "So what if you're at level three of the Spirit Incarnation Realm? You're just an ant to me!"

With a swift motion, he stretched out his palm, aiming at Xiao Chen's head, summoning a terrifying storm of spiritual energy. The destructive power was enough to shatter a small mountain.

"Young master, be careful!"

"Xiao Hai, you deserve to die!"

"How dare you attack a genius of the Xiao family? You'll die a tragic death!"

Several Xiao family members shouted in desperation, unable to block Xiao Hai's attack in time.

"You're just an ant to me!" Xiao Hai sneered.

Xiao Chen remained calm, and just as Xiao Hai's palm descended, Xiao Chen's figure moved like a specter, dodging the attack effortlessly.

"How is that possible?!" Xiao Hai shouted, utterly shocked. He, a level eight expert of the Spirit Incarnation Realm, had missed his target.

"I don't believe it!"

With fury, Xiao Hai unleashed a claw technique.

"Yellow Level Middle Grade martial arts: Stone Cracking Claw!"

Fissures appeared on the ground, and a horrifyingly sharp energy filled the air.

"Just a middle-grade technique?" Xiao Chen's voice was icy, his face expressionless. Without hesitation, he raised his fist.

"Dreaming Fist!"

Boom!

Xiao Chen's movements were bizarre, as though he was swaying like a drunkard, but the power around his fist was as heavy as a mountain.

With one punch, Xiao Hai's claw was broken. The immense force pushed Xiao Hai back dozens of steps before he fell to the ground.

Before Xiao Hai could recover, Xiao Chen's cold voice echoed: "Not long ago, I comprehended a new martial art. I'll use it on you today."

Xiao Hai raised his head and saw Xiao Chen standing tall in the air, radiating an aura of dominance.

"Xiao Chen, how are you this strong? How did you train?" Xiao Hai muttered, terrified.

He had underestimated Xiao Chen. In one move, Xiao Chen had utterly defeated him, a level eight expert!

"Although I'm only sixteen years old, I'm already at level eight of the Spirit Incarnation Realm!"

The realization tore at Xiao Hai's spirit.

"I provoked a monster..."

However, Xiao Chen stood unmoved, his piercing gaze fixed on Xiao Hai. In his hand, a sword condensed from spiritual energy glimmered with a sharp edge.

"This is the Spirit-Slaying Sword. One slash will destroy your body and soul. You're the first person to die by it."

With that, Xiao Chen dashed forward at a speed that left only afterimages.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sheer velocity tore through the air.

Clang!

The light reflecting off the sword glinted ominously. Xiao Hai realized, too late, that Xiao Chen had already reached his side.

"How is this possible?!" Xiao Hai roared, his survival instincts kicking in as he punched desperately.

"Can you dodge my sword?" Xiao Chen sneered.

Clang!

In one slash, the sword severed Xiao Hai's fist.

Puff!

Blood splattered as the sword sliced through Xiao Hai's neck.

"Ugh!"

Xiao Hai clutched his throat, his eyes filled with panic and disbelief.

He, a level eight expert of the Spirit Incarnation Realm,

had been killed by Xiao Chen with a single slash.
