Chapter 9: The rise of xiao chen
The dull sound of a body falling onto the ground struck everyone's hearts like a clap of thunder, stunning them instantly.
Then, havoc ensued.
"What? Master Bai has been killed!"
"Xiao Chen killed Master bai with one strike!"
"Master Bai was an invincible martial artist at level nine of the Spirit Incarnation Realm. How could he be defeated?"
The spectators exclaimed. They looked at the Immortal-like Xiao Chen, who stood tall and proud on the ground. Their faces were filled with disbelief, their eyes with fear. Even the powerful Bai Yu was defeated by Xiao Chen. Just how strong was Xiao Chen?
"Peerless monster, he's a peerless monster!"
From the crowd, someone murmured that, his voice trembling and his face becoming pale.
A 16-year-old at level nine of the Spirit Incarnation Realm! When did such a person appear in Yunhai City?
Tap, tap.
Xiao Chen walked out, savoring each step. The sound of his feet treading on the ground caused the faces of everyone in the Xiao family—his enemies—to turn deathly pale.
"Are all of you still going to resist stubbornly?"
Xiao Chen snickered. With a flash, he rose into the air majestically, casually emanating a streak of Sword Qi. Puff! Puff!
A level eight expert of the Xiao family was killed on the spot, with not even a chance to resist!
"Quick, retreat quickly!"
"D*mn it, Xiao Chen, you will die a terrible death!"
A Bai family member roared in a fit of rage.
That day was supposed to be the prime time for the Bai family to unify Yunhai City, but because of Xiao Chen, all hope was shattered.
"Whoever dares to invade our family shall be killed!"
With a smirk, Xiao Chen disappeared and reappeared next to another level eight expert of the Bai family. He used his Dreamlike Fist. The person exploded.
"How did Xiao Chen become so powerful?"
The Bai family's experts were left with a bitter taste in their mouths. Right then, Xiao Chen was like a god to them, undefeatable.
"We pay our respects to Young Master Xiao. We hope you will spare our lives."
One of them could not resist the fear in his heart and knelt on the ground, continuously begging.
When they invaded the Xiao family, had they ever thought of sparing lives?
Now that they were in trouble, they begged him for forgiveness?
How ridiculous!
With a wave of Xiao Chen's hand, the spiritual energy turned into a sword, which he swung outwards.
The Spirit-Slaying Sword!
With a single slash of his sword, that person's body and soul were annihilated!
Slash! Slash! Slash!
The sword made cuts on their bodies, and soon the sounds fell silent.
"Xiao Chen, you're so cruel!"
A BaiXiao family expert pressed his hand on his neck and screamed, his eyes filled with despair.
All the Xiao family's experts were killed by a single slash of that sword.
"Xiao Chen, you are only sixteen years old. How could you be so heartless?"
"I'm heartless?" Xiao Chen's eyes were calm and undisturbed, completely uncaring.
The Bai family was his enemy. Whoever dared to invade his family would be killed, even if his hands would be stained with blood!
"The Bai family was destroyed just like that?"
Everyone in the stands looked at the scene as if they were dreaming. They were unable to believe it.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and show respect to Young Master Xiao!"
Someone suddenly piped up in a low voice. Then, everyone there came to their senses. They nodded and walked quickly towards Xiao Chen.
"You have my respect, Young Master Xiao!"
"Greetings, Young Master Xiao!" Many people bowed their heads and echoed one after another.
They were all the VIPs of Yunhai City. They could command numerous people outside, but at that moment, they bowed to the 16-year-old Xiao Chen. They were not disgruntled at all. All they felt was awe.
"Get up."
Xiao Chen nodded his head and said slowly, "From now on, our family will reign supreme!"
"Yes, Young Master Xiao!"
Everyone quickly lowered their heads in response, although the look in their eyes carried mixed emotions.
The Bai family had reigned strong for 200 years and reached its peak with Xiao Yu in charge. However, they had fallen from glory in an instant.
From now on, the Xiao family would be mere history.
His family would be the sole strong family in Yunhai City!
At Xiao Chen's small courtyard.
Xiao Chen and Xiao Fa stood side by side. Even though several dozen days had passed since the annihilation of the Bai family, Xiao Fa still could not believe it. His gaze towards Xiao Chen was complex, incomprehensible.
"Father, why are you looking at me that way?"
Xiao Chen was at a loss. He didn't want to be under the limelight either, but he had no choice.
"Kid, you've surpassed your father in keeping secrets. I still can't get my head around it."
Xiao Fa sighed and then said, "Well, you are more outstanding than me now. It's a good thing.
You are already at level nine of the Spirit Incarnation Realm. You are qualified to practice the highest martial arts of our family, the Star Plucking Hand!"
As he spoke, Xiao Fa's face became serious, "That is a high-grade technique, which surpasses even the Ice Sword of the Bai family. Once you succeed in practicing it, your combat skills will be greatly increased.
Now, I will teach you!"
"Watch carefully."
Xiao Chen's face betrayed a strange suppression. When he saw that his father was being cautious, he thought that the technique was something really extraordinary. Well, it turned out to be just a technique of the upper level of the Yellow Level.
Could something at that level increase his combat prowess?
Did his father understand at all what that meant?
Before Xiao Chen could say anything, Xiao Fa moved in the small courtyard.
"Star Plucking Hand!"
Just as the words fell from his lips, Xiao Fa's breaths immediately changed to become sharp and domineering.
Hong!
the next moment, Xiao Fa extended his hand, and a bright light flashed in the air, lasting for ages.
At the same time, the dozens of bamboo trees planted in the small courtyard were all bent. Countless bamboo leaves fell, dancing around Xiao Fa and forming a green ribbon. It was beautiful and majestic!
After displaying the Star Plucking Hand, Xiao Fa stood still with his hands behind his back. It was the posture of an unparalleled master!
"Xiao Chen, did you see it clearly?"
Xiao Fa asked calmly. He thought to himself, "I'm no match for him in terms of talent and cultivation. But as for techniques, I've been immersed in them for decades. Let's see if this doesn't shock that brat out of his skin!"
"Well, father, why don't I teach you a technique too?"
Xiao Chen rubbed his hands together with some self-consciousness.
After cultivating the Dreaming Fist and the Spirit-Slaying Sword, the Star Plucking Hand was nothing to him. There were way too many loopholes in it.
Of course, his priority was to teach the Spirit-Slaying Sword to his father. That way, Xiao Fa would not be defeated, even when faced with the experts of the Xuanwu Realm. It would be enough to support the family!
"What?"
Xiao Fa frowned but nodded anyway. "Okay."
"This sword is called the Spirit-Slaying Sword!"
After he said that softly, Xiao Chen used his fingers as a sword and thrust them forward. At that moment, Xiao Fa's pupils constricted!
Because he suddenly realized, after following Xiao Chen's actions, that a horrible murderous intent had descended on him. He could not get rid of it no matter how hard he tried!
"What... what's going on? Hiss!"
Xiao Fa abruptly sucked in a breath of cold air! However, that was not what shocked him the most. It was because Xiao Chen had finally executed his first move!
"Spirit-Slaying Sword!"
Swish!
Xiao Chen's finger traced a beautiful arc in the air.
In the next moment, Xiao Fa's face changed greatly. He subconsciously covered his throat and stepped backward to get far away hurriedly.
There was no violent Spiritual Qi, no sharp wind-breaking sounds, no complicated moves.
Xiao Chen's move was just a simple thrust. However, to Xiao Fa, it was the most terrifying killer move in the world!
"Xiao Chen, what martial art is this?"
Xiao Fa asked in shock!
