Chapter 705: Unparalleled

After the blood froze, all the baleful aura infused into the sword Qi without any of it leaking. When that sword chopped down, the poisonous gas floating in the air turned into a white mist and scattered.

The scarlet sword light looked dazzling in the white mist, giving off an eerie feeling.

Indeed, as a loose cultivator, this middle-stage Superior Grade Martial Monarch had his own trump cards. This person was rather capable, taking an alternative approach and managing to raise the might of this attack from that of an Earth Ranked Martial Technique to the level of a Heaven Ranked Martial Technique.

However, this attack was ultimately an Earth Ranked Martial Technique. Compared to a true Heaven Ranked Martial Technique, it was still inferior.

Hidden Dragon in the Depths, Soaring Dragon!

“Bang!” An intense explosion rang out, and the murky water split open to reveal a pitch-black crack. Xiao Chen turned into a True Dragon and merged with his saber, looking like a True Dragon taking to the skies.

Auspicious-looking clouds appeared in the sky, and a boundless aura erupted out. Xiao Chen felt his body fill with the power of a True Dragon, and he naturally soared.

The True Dragon roared, and the scarlet sword light of the black-robed loose cultivator suddenly shattered, turning into spots of scarlet light and scattering. “Ka ca!”

“Bang! Bang! Bang!” The scarlet lights landed on the swamp and blasted out deep pits. Murky water and mud shot up into the air.

“Die!”

The aura of the True Dragon had not ended yet. When Xiao Chen chopped with his saber, he was like a True Dragon swinging its claw in rage. The strike was unparalleled and unblockable.

The black-robed loose cultivator’s Quintessence s.h.i.+eld broke, and blood flew everywhere as he got chopped in half.

Xiao Chen sheathed his saber and stood upright. Then, he checked his Quintessence and found that only slightly more than a third remained.

“Soaring Dragon…indeed, it is flying up to the skies in one breath, unparalleled. However, it requires too much Quintessence as well. Furthermore, this is not the completed Soaring Dragon, which will probably draw even more Quintessence in the future.”

Xiao Chen did not feel that excited about killing the black-robed loose cultivator. He merely a.n.a.lyzed the flaws of Soaring Dragon calmly.

After seeing people like Shui Lingling, the Pa.s.sionate Young Master, and An Junxi, no matter how proud Xiao Chen was of himself, he would not reveal it.

He took the spatial ring of the black-robed loose cultivator, then continued looking for Earth Essence Fruits.

The strange fruits were very rare in the depths of Python Swamp. At least four times scarcer than in the periphery. However, without exception, they all would be at least a hundred years old. It was not unusual to find two- or three-hundred-year-old ones, either.

“I found it. There is a strange fruit about five kilometers ahead and a three-hundred-meter venomous python in front of it. I hope my luck is not too bad.”

Xiao Chen withdrew his Spiritual Sense and quickly rushed over. In the time it took to brew a pot of tea, he found his target. If the other hard-working people found out about Xiao Chen’s efficiency, they would be angry enough to vomit blood.

“Rumble…!”

The swamp in front bubbled actively, seething with piping-hot gas. When the bubbles burst, corrosive poison filled the air.

Feeling leery, Xiao Chen stopped. He stood to the side and saw a familiar-looking body lying p.r.o.ne.

“Could it be him?”

Xiao Chen had a vague suspicion in his heart. He sent out a palm wind to turn over the corpse, and the water splashed. Indeed, it was the infamous Huang Qianren.

Looking into the distance, Xiao Chen saw that the actual Death Marsh was right ahead—the place were departed spirits formed when Emperors died.

The souls of the Emperors had already reached an incredible level. When their physical bodies died, their souls would not scatter that easily.

However, during the war of the Emperors, lost in the mists of time, countless Emperors fell. The moment their souls left their bodies, they were shattered into thousands of pieces.

After a long time and with the unique environment here, the shattered pieces of souls formed departed spirits that retained the Martial Techniques the Emperors once wielded.

However, these departed spirits had lost their intelligence, becoming malicious spirits that only knew how to kill, cruel and violent.

An Junxi had already intended to enter Death Marsh to find an Emperor departed spirit to temper his Martial Technique. Huang Qianren had chased after him all the way and eventually died at his hands.

“This person is really strong. Even someone like Huang Qianren died at his whims.”

When Xiao Chen realized the gap between himself and An Junxi, he felt even more motivated, prompting him to speed up significantly.

After a while, he arrived at his destination. When he saw the three-hundred-meter python, he did not hesitate to charge over.

Many experts wandered this area, and many knew Heaven Ranked Martial Techniques. Xiao Chen did not need to hide his here. Furthermore, he could take advantage of this situation to familiarize himself with Soaring Dragon. Hence, he no longer had to hold back when fighting.

He exhausted a third of his Quintessence and paid a small price in the form of light injuries to kill this venomous python.

Xiao Chen waved his right hand, and before the fruit reached him, the Spiritual Energy was already a.s.saulting his nose. He rejoiced and checked it. Indeed, it was the Earth Essence Fruit.

Furthermore, this Earth Essence Fruit was almost two hundred years old. It could save him half a year of cultivating.

After Xiao Chen put away the Earth Essence Fruit, he somewhat extravagantly took out a Spirit Gathering Pearl to quickly replenish his Quintessence. Then, he continued on his relentless treasure hunt.

Time slowly went by. Soon, Xiao Chen had already stayed in the depths of this Python Swamp for seven days, appearing in various places there.

He had a bountiful harvest, obtaining twenty Earth Essence Fruits more than a hundred years old, five that were over two hundred years old, and one that was three hundred years old.

Furthermore, the name White Robed Bladesman had gone around here, becoming known as a ruthless person. Initially, when people saw that Xiao Chen was only a Medial Grade Martial Monarch, they had tried to give him trouble.

However, after he taught several people b.l.o.o.d.y lessons, no one dared to cause him trouble anymore. When they saw that white figure, they immediately went away.
