Old Monster of Mount Ding immediately turned around to glare at Xiao Chen. ”Where did you come from, kid? You dare go against Grandpa Ding?!” Before his voice had even faded, he aimed a fearsome palm attack at Xiao Chen. The nearby five or six Heartless Palace disciples were sent flying from the force of the attack.

Li Muxue swiftly reacted, producing a blue barrier with both hands and blocking the attack. Old Monster of Mount Ding narrowed his eyes. ”Well, well, well. I see you people have hired help. Tell me your names! That way, I can grant you two an honorable death later!”

Xiao Chen stepped forward and said placidly, ”I am who I am and I'm not ashamed. I'm Xiao Chen. I wonder if you have any advice for me, senior.” He stared at Old Monster of Mount Ding like he was shooting ice arrows out of his eyes. Many disciples standing behind Old Monster of Mount Ding took a step backward.

Old Monster of Mount Ding narrowed his eyes. ”You're that Xiao Chen who punched the Elder of the South Chamber and hacked Yunya Zi? Hehe! Your Grandpa Ding didn't grow up being frightened! I refuse to believe that you'll be able to unleash that sort of top-notch skill today!”

Xiao Chen smiled faintly. ”You'll know once you try me.” Old Monster of Mount Ding grinned. ”Come then, kid. Do you think I'll be afraid of a rookie like you?” He beckoned the people behind him. ”Get him!”

However, the group of several tens of disciples behind him exchanged glances. None dared to advance. Old Monster of Mount Ding said angrily, ”Shameful! What are you afraid of when I'm here?!”

Only then did the disciples took action and charged at Xiao Chen, all of them wielding strange bladed weapons. Xiao Chen inserted himself in front of Li Muxue and swiftly spun his Qi nine times. The True Energy shrouding his body jolted and a majestic force surged out.

Crashing sounds reverberated as the earth-shattering force swept the group of disciples and sent them flying. They lost grip of their weapons, prompting the weapons to scatter all over the ground.

Old Monster of Mount Ding looked vexed. Beside him, Depraved Man said coolly, ”Old Monster Ding, can you do this? If you can't, I'll handle the kid.” The muscles in his face didn't move as he spoke. He was undoubtedly a walking corpse.

Old Monster of Mount Ding said in a strange tone, ”Go ahead then. Everlasting Spring Rogue and I will slaughter the girls! You'll be able to nourish your demonic body!” He instantly attacked Chu Lingjiao and the others. Meanwhile, Depraved Man aimed for Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen dared not underestimate him after seeing how strange his attacking stance looked. He instantly used the Immortal-override Steps and secretly moved behind Depraved Man. Even though he was wielding the Unsullied Immortal's Sword, the weapon could only injure his opponent in one spot while his palm attack could hurt his opponent's meridians.

Unfortunately, Depraved Man appeared to have made precautions for this a long time ago. He abruptly turned around and thrust his palm. His palm attack was shrouded in steaming black Qi. When it hit Xiao Chen, he felt half of his body go numb and he was thrown backward by more than ten Chinese feet. Not only did his opponent possess strange and demonic cultivation method, but his cultivation was high too. He was likely at Level 5 or 6 of the Core Forming Realm.

Depraved Man followed up the first attack with a second one at an incredible, ghost-like speed. Seeing as Xiao Chen was caught up in another attack, Li Muxue chanted an incantation and a long sword appeared in her hand. The sword emitted the cry of a bird and following her thoughts, it turned into a white light charging at the heart of Depraved Man's back.

Realizing that a flying object was about to hit his back, Depraved Man whipped around. He placed his fingertips together and emitted a black mist that jolted Li Muxue's flying sword away before launching a palm attack at her. Even though Li Muxue's cultivation had been improving by leaps and bounds these days, she was no match for a Core Forming Realm cultivator. Just as she was dodging the palm attack, another cold light flew toward her as one of Old Monster of Mount Ding's disciples tried to ambush her.

Xiao Chen unleashed his Immortal-override Steps and instantly appeared in front of her. He launched a palm attack at the disciple who tried to ambush her and broke down his heart meridians. Then, he thrust his palm again to counteract Depraved Man's attack. He exchanged glances with Li Muxue. She swiftly flew backward while remotely controlling her flying sword to attack Depraved Man. Meanwhile, Xiao Chen chose to attack his opponent at close quarters rather than having his opponent's attacks tie him down.

Their battle continued for nearly 10 minutes without a clear victor emerging. Chu Lingjiao's side, however, was experiencing devastating casualties. The Heartless Palace, 50 or 60 of its nearly two to three hundred disciples were now severely injured or killed. The entire public square was dyed with bright red blood. Were it not for their concealed weapons and sword formations, they would be even more powerless to resist Everlasting Spring Rogue and Old Monster of Mount Ding.

Right then, Old Monster of Mount Ding yelled, ”Enough! Old Depraved, hurry and release your treasured object!”

After hearing this, Depraved Man stopped fighting Xiao Chen and chanted an incantation. He took flight and hovered in midair. Following the movements of the cold wind, a demonic hissing resounded. Everyone who heard the sound felt their scalp go numb.

Depraved Man fished out a dark red banner out of nowhere. Unleashed in its entirety, the banner was nearly ten Chinese feet long. It hissed nonstop in midair and appeared incredibly strange.

Xiao Chen focused his gaze on the banner and found the object to be rather familiar-looking. It was none other than Blood-thirsty Banner! It was a demonic object forged out of the blood of countless living people.

Out of the blue, the bloody glow of the banner intensified and sucked in all of the Blood Essence inside the bodies on the ground until nothing was left. It even took in the blood of many disciples who weren't dead but merely heavily injured. After having its fill of blood, the large banner expanded twofold and countless human skulls dripping with blood materialized out of thin air. Gale picked up violently in the public square, wailing and howling.

The surviving Heartless Palace disciples turned deathly pale. They had never seen such a terrifying scene in their lives. With a wave of Depraved Man's hand, the Blood-thirsty Banner immediately produced several human skulls that threw themselves at several female disciples. Unable to escape in time, the female disciples became dried corpses after having their blood sucked dry.

The rest of the disciples, frightened out of their wits, began fleeing all over the place. Xiao Chen was astonished as well, now understanding how formidable the object was. In the air, Depraved Man wore a smirk on his face. It was as if his power was growing along with the blood the Blood-thirsty Banner consumed.
