Chapter 921: There Will Always Be Reckless People

Under normal circ.u.mstances, Xiao Chen could just leave. However, he could not do that now. The Big Dipper Banner was at a crucial point, so he could not leave it unless he was willing to lose this Secret Treasure in which he had invested so much effort and resources.

After putting in so much thought and effort, plus all his antic.i.p.ation, how could he just give it up?

Xiao Chen looked around at these experts from various places. All of them were already treating him like a dead person, discussing whom his Secret Treasures and Immortal Spirit Ring would belong to after he died.

Finding them funny, he asked calmly, “Are you all done with arguing? Are you going to attack together or one by one?”

“White Robed Bladesman Xiao Chen, you have a rather graceful bearing. Even in such a situation, you still can smile calmly. According to rumor, your strength already rivals that of Di Wuque, the three Holy Scions, and the peak geniuses of the ancient races. I, Ye Xu of the Heavenly Music Sect, do not believe that.”

An elegant youth stepped out of the crowd, strong fighting spirit blazing in his eyes.

The Heavenly Music Sect, Muddy Sky Gate, and the Frost Moon Palace were the three peak sects in the Primal Chaos Domain, the overlords of their regions. The disciples in their sect were prideful within the Primal Chaos Domain. Clearly, this Ye Xu was not happy with Xiao Chen’s fame.

A thirty-six-string zither appeared in Ye Xu’s hand. A cool wind blew, and clear tw.a.n.ging resembling the sounds of nature rang out, the tones intoxicating.

Xiao Chen revealed interest in his eyes as he took a step forward as well. Based on the name “Heavenly Music Sect,” he could guess that this was a sect that used sound to kill.

Ye Xu held his zither with two hands. Together with his genteel appearance, he looked like an elegant n.o.ble of the secular world.

“White Robed Bladesman Xiao Chen, today, I will use you as a stepping stone to boost this fame of mine, Ye Xu’s, and get an invitation to the Heroes’ Convention.”

“Ting! Ting! Ting! Ting!” Ye Xu played the zither with one hand, plucking its strings. The natural-sounding tw.a.n.ging suddenly changed into a demonic tune for killing.

Weapons flew out from the zither, raining down like a storm. They sliced through the air as they charged over to Xiao Chen. The sound of the zither echoed without end.

Just a simple probe was already so mighty. This attack made the cultivators who initially underestimated Ye Xu view him in a different light.

“The most famous disciple of the Heavenly Music Sect is Yue Qin. I heard that Yue Qin already received an invitation from Di Wuque long ago. Unexpectedly, this Ye Xu is pretty strong as well, despite not being famous.”

“With him dealing with Xiao Chen first, we should be able to test Xiao Chen’s true strength.”

Seeing someone else step out to explore Xiao Chen’s bottom line, the others were happy. They commented on the fight as they chatted with each other.

A few cracking sounds rang out in the air as Xiao Chen used his finger as a saber, and his fingertip flickered with light. With gentle pokes, he shattered all the incoming weapons.

“Twisting River!”

Ye Xu’s expression changed slightly. He had not expected Xiao Chen to break his move so easily. He switched tunes, raising the stirring intensity of the music so that it sounded like a river in full flood.

Gus.h.i.+ng water roared, and Ye Xu actually materialized a raging river rus.h.i.+ng out from the thirty-six-string zither. It was like he stood at the peak of a tall mountain and casually had a river cascade down; he gave off a tyrannical air that even suppressed the heavens.

However, no matter how tyrannical Ye Xu was, Xiao Chen was even more tyrannical than him when he dealt with this cataract.

Xiao Chen’s body flickered with bright light, and the sound of a treasured saber being unsheathed rang out. “Ka ca! Ka ca!” Seven strings on the zither immediately snapped, and the music stopped.

Ye Xu’s heart sank. What a powerful saber intent! He is on the very cusp of condensing a saber soul.

A saber light flew past, and the gus.h.i.+ng river instantly split into two.

“With such little capability, you dare test me out? I only need one move to defeat you!”

A saber light flashed, moving so fast that Ye Xu could not counter it. He raised his zither to parry. “Ka! Ka! Ka!” The remaining strings all snapped under this attack. However, he managed to block this sharp attack in the end.

Ye Xu felt very confident. He smiled coldly and said, “Although you are strong, you are dreaming if you want to defeat me with one move.”

“Ka ca!”

Right after Ye Xu spoke, the zither he held shattered. A bright moon rose behind Xiao Chen, and a flawless saber light shot out from his hand.

Before Ye Xu could even cry out, the saber light chopped him in half. Blood sprayed into the air.

Xiao Chen’s white robes fluttered under the moonlight. He appeared cold and aloof as he swept his gaze over the shocked crowd and said, “It doesn’t matter how many you are. Just come at me together, alright?”

“Arrogant!”

“Conceited!”

These people could not help but rage when Xiao Chen looked down at them. They turned into beams of light and charged at him.

Xiao Chen smiled faintly, his hair and clothes fluttering. He used his body as a saber with unparalleled sharpness and charged into the crowd without hesitation.

With the entirety of Xiao Chen’s body a saber, he had no lack of blades. The four seasons circled him as he materialized the Flawless saber Dao. Aside from his Magic Skills, he did not hold back the slightest as he swept through the crowd on a killing rampage.
