Chapter 655: Fierce Battle with Nefarious Cultivators (2/2)

However, five minutes after the Seven Black Wind Killers issued that statement, they still had not appeared. Everyone felt very suspicious.

The voice earlier was clearly part of the modus operandi of the Seven Black Wind Killers. How could it be that they had not arrived?

Suddenly, the Feng Clan’s Clan Head thought of a possibility. He grasped the sword in his hand tightly and said, “Let’s go out and take a look!”

A group of people left the hall and looked up. They saw a young bladesman standing on a tall building in front. His appearance was indistinct. He just stood on top of the building as his white clothes fluttered in the wind.

Seven black-clad men with ferocious auras and surging killing intent stood on the rooftop opposite Xiao Chen.

The seven black-clad men reeked of blood—a killing intent that had infused their marrows. No matter how they washed themselves, they would not be able to get rid of this stench.

The person in front only had a left eye; his right eye was just a grayish-white blotch. There was even a scarlet scar around his right eye, making it appear to be a b.l.o.o.d.y hole.

The eye looked extremely horrifying. A timid person might not be able to look at it directly. They might decide to give up even before they fought.

“Where did this brat come from? How dare he block our way?” a skinny man beside the one-eyed man shouted. He revealed a vulgar gaze in his eyes.

As that person spoke, a baleful aura melded with the sound waves, trying to infiltrate Xiao Chen’s brain.

Xiao Chen’s expression remained the same as the Mental Energy in his sea of consciousness swelled like waves. He said coldly, “So what if I am blocking you?”

Xiao Chen’s voice also carried strong Mental Energy. The sound waves surged and clashed with the skinny man’s voice, easily negating that skinny man’s killing intent.

Xiao Chen’s sound waves did not stop there, continuing forward. The skinny man groaned and took a step back, suffering a small loss at Xiao Chen’s hands.

When the one-eyed man, who was the leader, saw this, he smiled sinisterly and said, “You are quite capable. Brat, which sect are you from? After you die, I will get someone to send your head back.”

“I am Xiao Chen, an inner sect disciple of the Supreme Sky Sect. It’s the Xiao with a gra.s.s ‘head’ and the Chen with a sun ‘head,’” Xiao Chen replied unhurriedly. “However, I’m afraid you will not be able to get my head. Instead, you should lend me your head!”

[TL note: This was explained once in chapter 91. The Xiao is written as 萧; the gra.s.s head refers to the top of the character for gra.s.s 草. You will notice that they share the same “top” or “head.” As for Chen 晨, the “head” is 日, which is sun.]

When Xiao Chen spoke unhurriedly, his cadence initially made his listeners feel lazy. This induced them to somewhat unconsciously drop their guard.

However, when Xiao Chen said the last word, he moved very efficiently, not wasting any time at all. By the time everyone reacted to what he had said, Xiao Chen was already in the air.

“Oh no!” The one-eyed man’s expression changed as he shouted, “Seventh Brother, be careful!”

Suddenly, a strong wind blew in this quiet, moonless, and starless night. The ‘whoosh’ of a fist moving blended with the wind.

Xiao Chen had executed Azure Dragon Tail Whip and moved in an arc. He headed for the weakest of the seven, attacking at lightning speed.

When that person sensed Xiao Chen’s sudden attack, he did not panic even though he was astonished—which showed his rich combat experience.

This person twitched his right eye slightly, listening carefully to the sound of the wind. Then, he quickly reacted. He tilted his body and clashed head-on with Xiao Chen without hesitating.

“Bang!”

Two fists met in midair, producing surging shock waves. A fierce wind blew everywhere, making it hard for people to keep their eyes open.

The man Xiao Chen attacked did not move at all. As he watched Xiao Chen slowly disappear into the gust of wind, he smiled coldly. “Just some parlor tricks. Do you know how many inner sect disciples like you we, the Seven Black Wind Killers, have killed?”

“Is that so?”

A voice came from above that person. Before he could even panic, he discovered there was also a Xiao Chen above him when he looked up.

Xiao Chen did not give that person any time to react. He circulated all his Vital Qi and executed the Dragon Claw Fist’s Breaking Armor Fist, punching with sharp energy that broke his opponent’s protective Quintessence.

Xiao Chen’s blow landed on that person’s Tianmen Acupoint—one of the death acupoints of a human body. The energy flowed from the fist right into the acupoint. That person then leaked blood from the corner of his lips and died on the spot.

All this happened in the time it took for a spark to fly. In less than a breath of time, Xiao Chen had killed the weakest among the seven.

When the others looked carefully, they discovered that the figure hidden in the wind was only a clone.

“You are seeking death!”

The Seven Black Wind Killers moved anywhere they wanted, living free and unfettered. They had seen many difficult times and survived them. Even the true inheritors and elders of big sects could not do anything about them.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen took down one of them in an instant. Furthermore, he was only an inner sect disciple of the Supreme Sky Sect.

The one-eyed man roared, and killing Qi erupted out of him. He drew a large cavalry saber and fired a dazzling saber light as he attacked.

The other five also reacted right away. They quickly moved and blocked off all of Xiao Chen’s escape routes.

In the blink of an eye, the five formed a tight encirclement, trapping Xiao Chen within.

The purpose of these people in trapping him was to force him to clash head-on with the one-eyed man, preventing him from retreating.

However, did Xiao Chen need to retreat?”

Xiao Chen smiled gently, and with the flip of his hand, the Lunar Shadow Saber appeared from his Universe Ring. As his right hand grasped the saber handle firmly, a bright light flashed out of the scabbard.

“Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!”

Every time Xiao Chen took a step in the air, he left behind an afterimage. Each afterimage sent out a different attack.
