Chapter 490: Fighting Xie Ziwen Again; Despicable
When s.h.i.+ Hailong heard that, he was stunned. He immediately sent a voice transmission to Xiao Chen. “Don’t let him provoke you. Your strengths were almost on par before this. He clearly knows that your cultivation increased greatly in the Ancient Desolate Tower, and yet he is here to challenge you. He must have a secret technique that can increase his strength temporarily.
“The most important thing is that you just emerged from the Ancient Desolate Tower. You currently possess great Luck. If you lose, he will s.n.a.t.c.h away all the Luck you acc.u.mulated in the Ancient Desolate Tower. So, don’t ever let him provoke you. In the future, after you mature, you will be able to easily destroy him with one finger.”
s.h.i.+ Hailong’s tone sounded very anxious. He said a lot of things in one breath, weighting the pros and cons of accepting the challenge as well as doing his best to prevent Xiao Chen from agreeing.
s.h.i.+ Hailong had no choice but to be very cautious. If Xiao Chen was defeated, the Luck that the Heavenly Extermination Union obtained would also be affected. If that was the case, all his efforts would be for naught.
Xia Xiyan, Jiang Zimo, and the others also gave the same advice: “Xiao Chen, don’t agree to it. This fellow must have come prepared. He’s waiting for you to fall into his trap.”
When Xie Ziwen saw Xiao Chen remaining silent, he mocked, “Is that all the courage you have? How dare you even compare yourself to the Thunder Emperor. Xiao Chen, you disappoint me.”
Xiao Chen took two steps forward and carefully sized up Xie Ziwen with his gaze. Then, he said, “As you wish, come to the arena!”
Xie Ziwen laughed loudly and leaped onto the largest arena in the Tianwu Plaza. He acted like he had already won the match as he said, “Good, I was just waiting for you to say this!”
When s.h.i.+ Hailong heard this, he said anxiously, “Xiao Chen, don’t be ras.h.!.+”
Xiao Chen replied, “Elder s.h.i.+, rest a.s.sured. Naturally, I have my ways of dealing with this.”
s.h.i.+ Hailong shook his head, sighed softly, and did not say anything more. Xiao Chen’s fight was of great importance. Even if he wanted to stop it, there was nothing he could do if Xiao Chen himself was willing.
The Trial of the Ancient Desolate Tower was an important matter in the Ancient Desolate Land. Countless people had already gathered outside the Tianwu Plaza long ago.
However, they had all been stopped outside the plaza by the Heavenly Extermination Union’s people. Now that the trial was over, the situation outside turned chaotic due to the interference of the Evil Moon Pavilion.
Droves of cultivators flocked to the Tianwu Plaza.
Xiao Chen pushed off the ground. His figure flashed through the air and landed on the arena in an instant.
“That person in white is the person who climbed to the eighth floor? Why is he only a Medial Grade Martial King? Is that right?”
“That should be correct. From the outside, I managed to see that he was the last person to come out. Cultivation is not the only thing that determines a cultivator’s strength.”
“However, this Xie Ziwen is really vicious. The other party has just come out of the Ancient Desolate Tower. If he defeats this person, then he will be able to s.n.a.t.c.h away all the Luck of this person.”
“Without any trump cards, he would definitely not dare to challenge Xiao Chen at this point in time. This is really interesting.”
The crowd discussed the recent occurrence. Some of the cultivators with better insight managed to guess Xie Ziwen’s purpose in challenging Xiao Chen.
It was currently noon. The blazing sun shone mercilessly on everyone. Xie Ziwen looked at Xiao Chen and said coldly, “You really dared to come up. The people who injure me, Xie Ziwen, never have a good ending. I will be taking away the Luck that you gained today!”
“Xiu!”
Right after Xie Ziwen spoke, he raised his state of fire to its limit. This time, he did not dare to be careless at all, neither did he dare to hold back.
Xie Ziwen sent out a palm strike, and a sea of flames appeared around him, moving like layer upon layer of waves.
Heatwaves spread throughout the surroundings, instantly raising the air temperature.
s.h.i.+ Hailong’s expression changed. He said, “This fellow did indeed come prepared. He has comprehended his state of fire to the limit already.”
“Ka ca!”
Xiao Chen’s expression remained unperturbed. He placed his right hand on the Lunar Shadow Saber’s hilt and drew it at lightning speed.
“Boom! Boom!”
Thunder roared as Xiao Chen leaped into the air. A purple saber light appeared and he hacked down from overhead. This was the attack that the Martial Emperor Bai Shuihe executed earlier.
When Xie Ziwen saw Xiao Chen’s attack, a disdainful smile appeared on his face. “This is interesting. You are full of openings. The person styling himself as the White Robed Bladesman, fall for me!”
“Boom!”
The sea of flames surged around Xie Ziwen. He released red lights from his palm again and again. The huge flame rippled and formed a smooth palm.
A huge flaming palm manifested and the flames surged, heading for Xiao Chen’s unprotected chest.
Xiao Chen recalled the grace of Bai Shuihe’s attack and tilted his body slightly. The angle was sufficient for that huge flame palm to brush past his shoulder.
Xiao Chen twisted his wrist downwards, and the saber moved from top to down. The attack naturally turned into a stab.
“Pu ci!”
Xiao Chen landed and the tip of his saber penetrated Xie Ziwen’s chest by about one centimeter. Blood immediately spurted out.
Everything was within Xiao Chen’s plan; there were no deviations at all. He calmly told Xie Ziwen, “You have lost!”
Before that disdainful smile on Xie Ziwen’s face faded away, Xiao Chen had stabbed a vital spot on his chest while Xie Ziwen only sent out one palm strike.
If Xiao Chen pushed his saber in a little further, Xie Ziwen would immediately lose his life.
What happened? How did I lose? That attack was clearly full of openings. At the very best, that saber light was a little odd. How did it stab me in an instant?
Xie Ziwen now had a stunned expression; he could not understand how he lost despite thinking about it.
He was not the only person who did not understand. The thousands of cultivators present found it very strange too.
One move, only one move…Xiao Chen unexpectedly defeated Xie Ziwen in one move. The onlookers remembered the big fight between the two of them just seven days ago.
At that time, Xiao Chen had defeated Xie Ziwen after a hundred moves only because of Xie Ziwen’s carelessness. However, after seven days, he unexpectedly finished off the other party with one move.
