Xiao Chen's heart throbbed as his pupils contracted abruptly.
Even he was afraid of an expert like this.
"Haha, boy, how dare you be so arrogant!"
Meng Yuan laughed and said proudly. It was clear that, in his opinion, as long as his father intervened, victory would be within his grasp.
Xiao Chen was definitely going to die.
"Go to h*ll!"
At this moment, the figure in green slowly uttered three words.
In the blink of an eye, a burst of energy in the form of an ancient character rushed toward Xiao Chen.
A frightening murderous aura spread through the sky above the Sky Thunder Clan, causing the whole land to shake wildly.
"Kill!"
Xiao Chen took a deep breath. Without thinking, his qi condensed, and all his power transformed into a punch, exploding forth with immense force.
"Dreaming Fist!"
Bam!
His beard and hair fluttered as his entire body emitted a hazy light, making him appear like an illusion.
With one word and one punch, the two energies collided.
Boom!
A terrifying explosion rang out in an instant.
Tap! Tap!
Xiao Chen staggered backward dozens of steps, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
On the other hand, the figure in green took only three steps back.
Upon closer inspection, the figure had become slightly more illusory.
"What?!"
Meng Yuan shouted in horror.
This scene was even more unacceptable than Xiao Chen killing Meng Long!
His father was an expert of the Lingwu Realm. Even if his full strength had not reached that level, it was still terrifyingly powerful.
Yet, when faced with a junior from the Xuanwu Realm, his father did not crush him as expected. Instead, he merely gained a slight advantage.
Unbelievable.
Was he even human? How could he be this strong?
Meng Yuan looked at Xiao Chen, his eyes now filled with fear. He realized that he could no longer see through this person.
"He is not in the Lingwu Realm! His strength is between level six and seven of the Xuanwu Realm!"
A thought flashed through Xiao Chen's mind, and he slowly let out a sigh of relief. The corners of his lips curled into a faint smile.
He glanced at Meng Yuan, his white robes fluttering, as an even more powerful Xuan energy fluctuation suddenly surged from his body.
A cultivation of level four of the Xuanwu Realm was on full display.
"I'm afraid you can't do as you please today."
Xiao Chen spoke blandly.
As his words fell, a muffled thunder-like sound resounded from within his body.
All his limbs, bones, and muscles seemed to awaken at this moment, releasing a steady flow of energy and vitality.
"D*mn it!"
Meng Yuan was shocked, and a sense of dread arose within him.
"Kill!"
Xiao Chen roared. His two fingers combined to form a sword, stabbing forward.
Spirit-Slaying Sword!
A Thunder Dragon Sword Qi materialized in front of him, rushing straight toward Meng Yuan!
Almost simultaneously—
"Thunder Sacred Method!"
Xiao Chen roared in a deep voice.
Flashes of lightning danced across his body as his battle power continued to surge, exuding an incredible force.
As his qi reached its peak—
"Xuanwu Seal!"
Xiao Chen roared again.
An ancient thunder seal, the size of a fist, appeared at the center of his forehead.
Inside the ancient seal, indistinct sword and fist marks flowed continuously, radiating the power of an invincible killing martial art.
This was Xiao Chen's Xuanwu Seal!
"He possesses the spirit aura of a Xuanwu Seal! How is this possible?!"
Meng Yuan had been staring at Xiao Chen, but upon witnessing his Xuanwu Seal, he could not help but let out a cry of shock and disbelief.
In the Xuanwu Realm, Spiritual Qi and Martial Arts would merge into a seal. The stronger one's mind, the stronger their combat ability. This was the Xuanwu Seal. However, only upon reaching level nine of the Xuanwu Realm would the Xuanwu Seal display agility, signaling an impending breakthrough into the Lingwu Realm.
So how could Xiao Chen summon a Xuanwu Seal now?
"Xuanwu Seal, break!"
Xiao Chen stood with his hands behind his back. His face was slightly pale, yet his aura had peaked. His presence radiated boundless power.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The green-robed figure seemed to sense danger. He continuously roared 'kill' as his figure trembled violently. The ancient character of "attack" circled around him, forming a powerful defensive barrier.
At the same time, the Thunder Dragon Sword Qi shot forward.
Behind it, the Xuanwu Seal whistled through the air.
Bang! Bang!
Upon collision, the ancient character shattered into countless shadows. The Thunder Dragon Sword Qi was gradually dissipated by the counterattack of the ancient character.
Meng Yuan's face was filled with horror as he fell to the ground, feeling as though the world itself was collapsing.
His father was a Lingwu Realm expert!
He had personally condensed this life-saving spiritual body for Meng Yuan and had once said there was no need to fear a level seven Xuanwu Realm expert.
Yet, it had been destroyed by a mere level four Xuanwu Realm junior.
Bam!
A final, earth-shattering roar erupted as the Xuanwu Seal, carrying the force of endless gales, struck the green-robed figure head-on.
Boom!
The once-dim spirit body exploded into nothingness.
"Now, it's your turn."
Xiao Chen's faint voice rang out. After shattering the spirit body, the Xuanwu Seal surged straight toward Meng Yuan without hesitation.
Peng!
Just as the Xuanwu Seal was about to strike Meng Yuan—
Suddenly, a white light burst forth from his body, and he vanished.
"Hm? He escaped?"
Xiao Chen withdrew his Xuanwu Seal, scanning the now-empty space where Meng Yuan had been. His brows twitched slightly.
The young master of Jitian Prefecture had too many tricks up his sleeve, allowing him to escape death.
However, Xiao Chen was unconcerned. If Meng Yuan dared provoke him again, he would kill him without hesitation.
A hundred miles away, deep within a deserted mountain forest, Meng Yuan crashed to the ground with a heavy thud.
His face was pale, his eyes filled with fear. If not for his escape technique, he would have perished at Xiao Chen's hands.
"That brat... I'm the young master of Jitian Prefecture. How dare he attack me?! Hmph, if I don't take revenge, I, Meng Yuan, am unworthy of my name!"
Hatred burned in his heart.
At the Xiao Family
As soon as Xiao Chen arrived, Xiao Fa sensed his presence and smiled.
"Son, you're back?"
"Yes, I'm back."
Xiao Chen grinned and waved a formation plate in his hand. "Not only did I return, but I also brought something good back."
He proceeded to explain the Nine Xuan Spirit Convergence Formation, causing Xiao Fa's expression to shift repeatedly before settling into excitement.
"If it's as powerful as you claim, then the Xiao Family will rise in less than three years!"
"You'll find out soon enough."
Xiao Chen smiled as he activated the formation.
Rumble!
The skies changed color.
A Thunder Dragon soared above Yunhai City.
At this moment, thousands of residents looked up in shock.
