Chapter 497: Fighting Qin Yu with All of One’s Might

Qin Yu saw an opportunity in Bai Lixi’s leaving Xiao Chen’s side. So he made his move at lightning speed. A pale white flame appeared above his palm, and the surrounding air instantly turned cold.

Xiao Chen’s eyes lit up. Unexpectedly, this person has the Extreme Yin Flame as well. If I can s.n.a.t.c.h it away, my Lunar True Flame could become stronger.

Even though Xiao Chen was thinking, the speed of his hands did not slow down. He continued to send a palm strike forward. This palm strike was infused with purple, pure Yang-attributed flames.

“Bang!”

Yin and Yang opposed each other. The instant the attacks collided, a huge explosion generated a surge of shock waves; half the side hall disappeared.

The shock waves struck Bai Lixi and Leng Yun, who were fighting, knocking them back by several steps. Leng Yun was in worse condition; his complexion was pale and blood leaked out the corner of his mouth.

Old Qin did not seem too bothered. He stabilized his footing and rushed at Xiao Chen again, intending to deal with him in the shortest amount of time possible.

Xiao Chen responded calmly; he did not panic at all. After exchanging several dozen moves, he was only forced back by almost a hundred meters. However, he did not suffer from any major injuries.

Qin Yu felt very depressed. He remembered that just a few months ago, he could squish Xiao Chen like an ant. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen managed to grow to such an extent in the meantime.

After ten moves, Xiao Chen had not lost yet.

Xiao Chen glanced over and saw that Bai Lixi and Leng Yun’s battle was close to the end. His expression relaxed and he stopped clas.h.i.+ng head-on with Qin Yu. All he had to do now was drag things out and prevent him from leaving.

After a while, there was a miserable cry. It was Leng Yun dying at Bai Lixi’s hands.

This was within Xiao Chen’s expectations. Given Bai Lixi’s strength as a half-step Martial Monarch, Leng Yun had already done very well by lasting this long.

Retreat!

After Leng Yun’s death, Qin Yu pushed Xiao Chen back with an attack. Then, he retreated decisively, intending to leave this place.

“Thinking of leaving? It’s not that easy!”

If Xiao Chen allowed this person to leave and inform the headquarters of the Holy Fire Manor, it would be bad for him. If the two Martial Monarchs made a move, they would be a great threat to Bai Lixi and him.

“Ka ca!”

Xiao Chen drew the Lunar Shadow Saber hanging at his waist. A sharp saber intent surged out and a resplendent purple saber Qi blocked Qin Yu’s path of escape.

“Dang!”

Bai Lixi’s attack followed closely. With the two working together, Qin Yu’s path of escape was sealed.

The rest of the battle was not very suspenseful. Qin Yu was significantly weaker than Gao Yangyu; how could he be a match for the two of them?

After another hour, Xiao Chen slashed Qin Yu’s throat before extracting the Extreme Yin Origin Flame. Then, he and Bai Lixi quickly left the scene.

As per Xiao Chen’s plan, the two left Desolate City by nightfall. They traveled for five kilometers before they stopped.

Above the Heavenly Extermination Lake, Xiao Chen said gratefully to Bai Lixi, “Thank you for helping me. If it were not for you, this operation would not be that successful.”

Without Bai Lixi’s help, Xiao Chen would definitely not have been able to easily deal with these two potential dangers, be it Gao Yangyu or Qin Yu.

Even if Xiao Chen used his trump card and obtained the final victory, he would still have suffered significant internal injuries. It would not have turned out the way it did where they only exhausted some Essence and did not suffer from any significant injuries.

Bai Lixi chuckled and said, “I found it rather exciting. You also gave me all the spoils from the two half-step Martial Monarchs. We are now even.

“That’s right, what are your future plans?” Bai Lixi asked Xiao Chen after a pause.

Xiao Chen said honestly, “I intend to go to the Deep Sea Battlefield, to temper myself there and make my killing Qi denser.”

Xiao Chen obtained his state of ma.s.sacre from the scarlet throne. In the end, it did not belong to him. It felt off when he used it. So, this Deep Sea Battlefield was a place that he had to go to.

Bai Lixi laughed and said, “What a coincidence, I am going to the Deep Sea Battlefield too. The East Shallow Sea’s third grade Battlefield is about to start. I was planning to go with some friends. If you do not mind, you can come with us.”

Xiao Chen felt slightly stunned. “Such a coincidence?”

Bai Lixi smiled as he said, “If not for the Deep Sea Battlefield, why do you think I bought so many Secret Treasures?”

Xiao Chen thought about it for a while before accepting the invitation. He did not know a lot about the place; if he went with Bai Lixi, he would be able to save himself a lot of trouble.

------

Easternmost Harbor City of the Great Chu Nation:

Many merchant s.h.i.+ps moved in and out of the busy harbor. Xiao Chen and Bai Lixi stood at the harbor, but they were in no rush to board a s.h.i.+p.

The East Shallow Sea naturally lay to the east of the continent. If they wanted to save themselves some time, they could only go to the Great Chu Nation, which was in the eastern region of the continent.

After leaving Desolate City, Xiao Chen and Bai Lixi traveled at full speed for seven days and nights to reach this harbor.

“Bai Lixi, speaking of which, who exactly is your friend? You have not been willing to tell me who he is. Is there a need to be so mysterious?”

After leaving the Ancient Desolate Land, the two relaxed. No matter how strong the Holy Fire Manor was, they would not be able to extend their reach to the Great Chu Nation.
