Chapter 901: Price of Underestimating One’s Enemy

However, it was already too late. While the short old man was blithely raising his aura and taking down Mu Yun in one move, he had already given Xiao Chen too much time and opportunity.

The price that he paid was his life.

A cold light flickered, and a brilliant saber light like the blazing sun lit up the entire plaza; it was dazzling.

By the time all the cultivators in the plaza could see normally again and looked carefully, the saber light had already chopped the short old man in half. He died without an intact corpse, without even managing to say any last words.

When everyone looked at the black-cloaked cultivator sitting on a stone stool, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. Where did this fellow come from? They had not noticed him at all. Weren’t the Five Poison Devil and the Medicine G.o.d Valley’s Mister Qin backing the short old man?

Unexpectedly, this person instantly killed this short old man. Even the Merfolk Race would not push things to such an extreme. But this black-cloaked cultivator actually did not show any mercy, killing the short old man without hesitation.

Qi Wuxue goggled in disbelief. He stammered in shock, “This fellow…this fellow really attacked. Unfortunately, he offended the Five Poison Devil and Mister Qin by killing their representative.”

Long Fei had guessed that Xiao Chen would make a move. However, he had not expected Xiao Chen to be so extreme, slaying with his first move. He treated a Superior Grade Martial Sage like some n.o.body, cutting him down as he pleased.

Yao Yan’s face lit up in joy. Indeed, as per their agreement, Xiao Chen had made a move. He did as he said, not leaving, truly helping them to the end.

The entire plaza fell silent. All the invited cultivators who possessed lightning-attributed flames had shocked and doubtful faces.

The two youths from the Penglai Sea also looked over, revealing somewhat curious expressions.

The Five Poison Devil and the silent Mister Qin could no longer sit idly and do nothing. The short old man had died in one move; this outcome completely suppressed their group.

Many of the ferocious Primal Chaos Domain loose cultivators withdrew their baleful auras. These loose cultivators always prioritized their lives first.

When these loose cultivators saw the danger, they naturally did not dare to mess around. Otherwise, they might end up like this short old man, dying without understanding how or why, suffering a great loss.

The Five Poison Devil stood up from his stone stool and looked at Xiao Chen. He demanded coldly, “Sir, what do you mean by this? We are just trying to get justice from the Merfolk Race. Why the need to make such a strong move?”

Xiao Chen’s expression was not visible under the hood. Only his cold voice came out. “What justice? This is the Merfolk Race’s matter. How are you qualified to say anything about this?”

“You…”

The Five Poison Devil could not help but feel stifled. He already humbled himself, but the other party showed complete disregard for him in front of everyone.

Everyone present sucked in an involuntary breath of cold air as well. This fellow was really arrogant. Unexpectedly, he dared to speak to the Five Poison Devil like that. Some grandmaster-level Martial Sages would be unwilling to casually offend the Five Poison Devil like this.

The middle-aged-looking Mister Qin squinted and discovered that this unfathomable person did not have a high cultivation. However, he was like a calm pool of water of unknown depth.

This person did not leak any aura, but he had a faintly discernible air about him, one that surpa.s.sed the indistinct demeanor that many grandmaster-level Martial Sages had.

Naturally, the Five Poison Devil noticed this as well. Otherwise, given his temper, he would not have bothered with speaking to Xiao Chen, directly killing him, instead.

The Five Poison Devil suppressed his anger and did not rush to make his move. He said in a deep voice, “It is not up to you whether I am qualified or not. On the other hand, how dare you, a sneaky fellow who does not even dare to show his face, stick your nose into this? You don’t even know who you are offending.”

Xiao Chen casually pushed back his hood, revealing his face. Discussions immediately resounded.

“The White Robed King Xiao Chen!”

“It is actually him! No wonder he dares to attack without any fear. I heard that the Martial G.o.d Palace will soon confer a Kings.h.i.+p on him.”

“The Azure Emperor was the one who set the seal on the Sea Monarch Palace in the past. Now that something happened to the seal, it is reasonable that Xiao Chen take a hand in this.”

“However, he is still very bold. Neither the Five Poison Devil nor Mister Qin is easy to deal with.”

The moment Xiao Chen revealed his face, people immediately recognized him. The news of Xiao Chen being conferred a King had spread far and wide. He was the brightest outstanding youth of recent times.

Xiao Chen had disappeared for two years. However, when he reappeared, he immediately shook the world. He undeniably already had the bearing of the Azure Emperor back then.

Xiao Chen looked at the clearly startled Five Poison Devil and said indifferently, “Five Poison Devil, you are very infamous in the Primal Chaos Domain. Even grandmaster-level Martial Sages are unwilling to fight with you. Let me see just how strong you are. Show me who exactly I offended.”

A bright moon rose and night fell.

Xiao Chen caught everyone by surprise, charging towards the Five Poison Devil first. A cold wind gathered and snow swirled. His figure flashed and arrived before the Five Poison Devil.

The Five Poison Devil did not see Xiao Chen’s figure at all. He only spotted a flash of saber light turning into a cold wind, a.s.saulting him from within the snow. He moved very quickly and hurried to circulate the power of his Heavenly Sage Laws, stretching out his hand to block this saber light.

The gale became a whirlwind like a blizzard spreading out everywhere. As it blew, the snowflakes were like incredibly sharp sabers.

The people in the plaza quickly scattered, not wanting to get swept up in the fallout from the unexpected battle.

Pain, bone-piercing pain.

The Five Poison Devil, who was by the stone stools, relied on his deep cultivation and blocked Xiao Chen’s palm strike, not moving back a single step.

However, the energy from Xiao Chen’s palm was like a saber piercing through him. The Five Poison Devil clenched his teeth in pain as his arm trembled.
