Chapter 515: Working with Bai Lixi

The huge scarlet palm pressed down like a small hill. The sea churned and waves surged. Xiao Chen looked very tiny beneath that huge palm.

Xiao Chen had been keeping his guard up against that youth. However, he had not expected the youth to unleash such a powerful killing move. Surprisingly, the youth completed this in an instant; his speed was unimaginable.

However, now was not the time for astonishment and panic. The huge palm covered a large area, leaving Xiao Chen no place to run to. The surging cold Qi also ended his thoughts of diving into the sea.

Xiao Chen was afraid that the instant he dived into the sea, he would be frozen solid by this cold Qi and killed.

There was no place to run or dodge. That meant he had only one option left!

Scarlet bolts of lightning tore across the dark sky. A scarlet Wukui Tree grew quickly above Xiao Chen.

When the scarlet Wukui Tree formed completely, a scarlet light condensed on Xiao Chen’s saber. The light elongated rapidly, rus.h.i.+ng at the huge palm pressing down.

“Bang!”

When Xiao Chen infused his saber intent into this sharp scarlet saber light, it became even sharper than before. It was unknown how much stronger this Wukui Breaks the Heavens was.

The light flashed and instantly tore a hole in the center of the huge scarlet palm. Cracks spread throughout the palm and just before it touched Xiao Chen’s head, it shattered and turned into countless ice shards.

The remnant saber intent shattered the ice shards that filled the air even further, turning them into drops of scarlet water as they fell back into the sea. Suddenly, the area around Xiao Chen looked like there was scarlet rain.

Xiao Chen looked forward and saw that the yellow-robed cultivator had disappeared already. The Blood Demon corpses were missing as well.

“Interesting. I was wondering how he could dare to clash with me when he doesn't even have half his Essence left.”

Xiao Chen was not afraid of arrogant genius cultivators. For this kind of people, no matter how excellent their talents were, or how powerful they were, they would have limited success.

The ones Xiao Chen was afraid of were those who knew when to advance or retreat. Geniuses who would not make a move if they were not confident, retreating when necessary and not doing anything stupid, such people were terrifying.

Leng Yue walked over and said in a soft voice, “Sorry, I caused trouble for you.”

One of the main reasons why the youth attacked was Leng Yue. When he saw Xiao Chen being so close to an Eros Demon, he was afraid that Xiao Chen was untrustworthy. He did not believe that Xiao Chen was only pa.s.sing by and not trying to take advantage of him.

Xiao Chen shook his head and said, “There is no need to apologize. Unless we are entering into the encampments of humans, I will not force you to return to the Spirit Blood Jade unless necessary. If you do not want to go in, you can remain outside.”

Leng Yue could not understand. Xiao Chen was clearly someone who weighed the pros and cons, using the results to make a decision. He had always been very decisive. So, she could not figure out why he agreed to her ridiculous request when he clearly knew that it would cause trouble.

Not bothering with what Leng Yue was thinking about, Xiao Chen kept staring at the calm scarlet sea and considering the youth from earlier.

Xiao Chen did not know where this genius came from. Indeed, there were still many hidden talents in the younger generation. He had been looking at the world from the bottom of a well.

He still had a long way to go. As of now, his strength might be at the peak of the four nations’ youths. Aside from the disciples of the Royal Courts, probably no one else could compete.

However, when Xiao Chen took the whole world into account, not to even mention the Great Jin Nation, there might be many youths stronger than him in this Boundless Sea.

Just at this moment, Xiao Chen’s expression turned grave. He had an inkling of danger. So, he scanned the area to the west with his Spiritual Sense and found several middle-ranked Fire Demons riding fire clouds and heading over to this place.

“Quick, let’s leave. We can’t stay here.”

Xiao Chen did not give Leng Yue any time to react. He quickly carried her and executed the Azure Dragon Cloud Soaring Art, rus.h.i.+ng forward.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Right after Xiao Chen left, a huge fireball landed where he stood previously. The fireball immediately exploded and a hemispherical hole appeared in the calm sea.

A large volume of seawater was instantly vaporized by the high temperature. The surrounding water quickly filled in the void and a large whirlpool appeared.

Of all the Demons, the one that Xiao Chen was the most wary of was the Fire Demon. While they had the lowest defense, they had the highest offense and the best techniques. With four or five middle-ranked Demons, even if Xiao Chen survived, he would be severely injured.

Xiao Chen had tried that before. Since then, he could not be bothered with Fire Demons. He would immediately flee and not make contact at all.

Now, more than ten middle-ranked Fire Demons chased Xiao Chen, sending out incessant attacks. This caused the water behind Xiao Chen to churn and splash up.

The middle-ranked Fire Demons were more irritating than the low-ranked ones. They moved very fast as well. Even using the Azure Dragon Cloud Soaring Art, Xiao Chen could not shake them off quickly.

Now that he was carrying one person, it would take him quite some time to shake off this tail.

Xiao Chen used his Spiritual Sense to scan around continuously, to plan the best route. This saved him from going in the wrong direction and running into other Demons.
