Chapter 8: Cave of the predecessor (2/2)
Ten minutes later.
Xiao Yulan was flabbergasted at the sounds of Xiao Chen rus.h.i.+ng over. Although she did not use any Essence, her cultivation was already in the realm of a Medial Grade Martial Master.
The strength of her body should be vastly stronger than that of a person who had just condensed his Martial Spirit, which meant that leaving Xiao Chen behind in the dust should be a very easy thing to accomplish.
Xiao Chen met Xiao Yulan’s gaze and craftily spoke. “Cousin’s speed is really fast, I nearly could not catch up with you.”
Xiao Yulan understood what he meant by these words, replying with a solemn expression, “the cultivation of that person in blue has reached the realm of Martial Saint. It is best for cousin to not enter these troubled waters.”
“In front of a Martial Saint, there is no difference between a Martial Disciple and Martial Master. They would both die in one blow.” Xiao Chen stated without backing down.
Xiao Yulan’s expression changed slightly, a slight amount of anger to her tone. “I frequently cultivate on Seven Horn Mountain, so I am familiar with every tree and every blade of gra.s.s here. Even if I am no match for him, it would not be difficult for me to escape, cousin, but you……”
“Hus.h.!.+ They are about to go in, cousin, take a look.” Xiao Chen interrupted Xiao Yulan’s words and pointed in a direction.
Xiao Yulan turned her head to take a look. There was a cliff in front. That person in blue just laughed coldly and threw out a fist on its stone wall. Cracks extended out from where that person punched the wall, spreading in all directions, and the cracks kept getting larger and larger, with pieces of rocks continuously falling off the cliff.
When all the rocks finished falling, it revealed a hidden stone door. With a loud rumble, the door opened automatically. Elder Zhang flattered the person in blue and left behind someone to guard the entrance before entering with the person in blue.
“Let’s go!” When Xiao Chen finished saying that, he did not bother himself with Xiao Yulan and led the way forward.
The Zhang Clan disciple stationed outside was only a Medial Grade Martial Disciple. Xiao Chen hid himself in a place about a hundred meters from the stone door, confirming that the person in blue had moved far away.
Xiao Chen used his consciousness to control the Essence to move towards the meridians in his legs, to which the Azure Dragon within his body opened its eyes once again. Only this time, the expression in its eyes were not clear and pure like earlier, but it was now filled with a baleful look.
It was as though it felt Xiao Chen’s intentions. The three white clouds floated around gently, and two streams of even purer Essence spat out from its mouth, heading toward the meridians in Xiao Chen’s legs.
After the two streams of Essences trickled into Xiao Chen’s legs, he could feel strength br.i.m.m.i.n.g within them, as though they were able to flatten the solid Seven Horn Mountain with one stomp!
Kill!
There was a loud shout, and Xiao Chen’s right foot ferociously pushed off from the ground, leaving behind a two feet deep footprint. His body left the ground and covered the distance of a hundred meters in an instant, the Purple Thunder True Fire burning in his palm.
The Zhang Clan disciple guarding the entrance only heard a loud shout before a purple flame had already hit his chest. Before he had the time to shout, his whole chest was already burnt up. A black hole occupied the middle of his chest, only for its size to rapidly expand shortly after. Within moments, this Martial Disciple had been turned into a pile of ashes.
What a domineering flame—looking at the Zhang Clan disciple, Xiao Yulan sighed. “This is your Martial Spirit?”
Xiao Chen did not deny it and smiled, “cousin, do you now believe that I have the ability to protect myself?”
Xiao Yulan bent over and dipped her fingers in the ashes. After she examined it, she shook her head and proceeded to explain. “This flame is indeed domineering, but it is not as powerful as you think. If this Martial Disciple was not suddenly ambushed and could not defend himself in time, as long as he released his Essence, he would be able to defend against these flames.”
Xiao Chen, who was seen through, awkwardly smiled and avoided the topic, “they should have already made it far away. If we follow them from a distance, given the large size of this cave, we might not even run into them.”
