Chapter 236 Prince of Xiyue State (2/2)

The teenager was the Second Prince of Xiyue State, Chu Xuan. He lifted his head and smiled. Closing the folding fan in his hand, he pointed it at her. ”A slave will always be a slave!” he bellowed, his gaze turning cold. ”Bring them back!”

Obeying the order, the six guards immediately surrounded the two ladies. Qingluan's face fell. She whipped out her curved blade, which glinted ominously. Not even ten of these imperial guards were a match for her, but in the next second, she lost all courage even to move. Her eyes fell on the jade note that had suddenly appeared in Chu Xuan's hand.

”I dare you to move! Go on! If you dare move, I'll rip this to pieces and have your soul disintegrate into dust!”

”No!” Ziyun'er cried, shocked. Her face turned as pale as a sheet of paper.

Chu Xuan sneered. He said to the guards flanking him in an emotionless tone, ”Bring them back.”

”Wait!” Qingluan cried, raising her hand. She took out the ingredients that she bought earlier and handed them to Ziyun'er. She said quietly, ”Bring these back.”

She then turned around to look at Chu Xuan. She said coolly, ”Let her go. I'll leave with you.” Ziyun'er kept tugging on her sleeve, shaking her head. ”No…”

Chu Xuan raised his head and laughed heartily. ”Since you share such a touching sisterhood, it's best if you two come with me. If you serve me well tonight, I'll consider sparing one of you!” With a wave of his hand, his six guards immediately had the ladies surrounded.

Right at this moment, a silhouette appeared in front of Qingluan and Ziyun'er.

”What's going on?” Xiao Chen turned around and asked. He had just arrived, so he had no idea what was happening.

”Master…” Qingluan and Ziyun'er relaxed when they saw him.

”Master?” Chu Xuan scoffed. ”What, you're serving a pretty boy now? Sure enough, slaves will always be slaves. You're destined to be slaves from the moment you were born.”

”Who are you calling slaves...?” Xiao Chen turned his head and glared daggers at him. Those watching the commotion felt a chill run down their spine. His pressure also made the guards afraid to move.

Chu Xuan sneered and pointed to the ladies behind Xiao Chen with his folding fan. ”I called them slaves. What are you going to do about it?”

”You're courting death!”

Xiao Chen activated his True Energy and immediately and then a gale rose. In the following second, two swords flew toward Chu Xuan. Chu Xuan sneered and flicked his sleeves. With two clanging noises, he easily avoided the blades.

”Is that all you've got? To think you're foolish enough to try and act like a hero.”

Seeing that Xiao Chen wanted to use his Mystic Skill, Ziyun'er hastily tugged on his hand from behind. ”Master, don't…”

Xiao Chen turned his head and saw how pale she looked. She must have suffered quite a bit earlier. He said softly, ”I'm sorry. I was waiting at the square, not knowing that you two were in trouble.”

Ziyun'er shook her head and replied softly, ”Let's go back…”

”Go back?” Chu Xuan's eyes turned steely. ”Did I agree to let you go…?”

Without waiting for him to finish, Xiao Chen glared at him. ”I don't care who you are. You’d better not cause trouble for them.”

”Hehe, is that so? What if I kill them in front of you?” Chu Xian chuckled wickedly. Then, an ominous glint flashed in his pupils, and he tried to crush the jade note in his hands. Ziyun'er cried in shock, ”No!”

Sharp-minded as Xiao Chen was, he detected the change occurring in Qingluan at this moment. He immediately unleashed his Immortal-override Steps and appeared in front of Chu Xuan like a ghost, grabbing onto his neck.

”If you crush the jade note, I'll crush your neck.”

”What the heck?! You're just a Core Forming Realm cultivator! How can you move so quickly?!” Chu Xuan appeared to have not realized how close he was to hell earlier.

Taking advantage of Chu Xuan's lapse in concentration, Ziyun'er moved speedily and snatched the jade note in his hand.

Seeing as the danger was over, Xiao Chen scoffed and threw Chu Xuan to the ground.

Chu Xuan was as infuriated as he was humiliated. He hastily recited a spell and instantly, six Sword Qi of a dazzling gold color charged at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen flicked his wide sleeves backward. Amid a deafening Dragon's Roar, two golden figures of a dragon flew out and rendered the six Sword Qi into nothingness in a flash.

Unable to stabilize his footing, Chu Xuan staggered several steps backward. Shock colored his face as he pointed. ”You're… Xiao Chen!”

The expression of those watching the commotion changed after hearing this name and they hastily made their escape. Was he that human-slaying mad Devil that slaughtered in Canglan City just a few days ago?

Thanks to the endless gossiping and evolving nature of rumors, many who didn't know better became fixated on Xiao Chen being a Great Devil who could kill without blinking.
