Chapter 251 Rescue (1/2)

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes when he saw that this man was almost as fast as his Immortal-override Steps. He said coldly, ”Hand over my friend.”

Traceless for Ten Miles put on a weak smile. ”I was wondering what you wanted to do when you asked for my name. Did you come here to save your friend? I'm afraid you're too late.”

”Where is she?!” an impatient Qingluan demanded.

Xiao Chen didn't waste his breath. He moved his feet, charging into the hall. Traceless for Ten Miles followed suit and blocked him. The two of them collided, causing dust to fly up all around them.

”Move aside!”

Traceless for Ten Miles smiled weakly. ”Elder Brother has given that woman to Second Brother. Naturally, you can only enter once he's done with his business.”

Qingluan's expression fell. ”What did you say?!”

Xiao Chen's murderous aura rose sharply. He abruptly hit Traceless for Ten Miles in the chest but the latter swiftly moved out of the way, avoiding the palm attack. Traceless for Ten Miles chuckled. ”I heard you're the strongest among the younger generation in the Violet Manor. I'd love to see how true this is. If you can withstand ten strikes from me, I'll allow you to enter. Otherwise, all you'll be seeing is that woman's corpse.”

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes. ”You're that desperate to try me, aren't you...”

Traceless for Ten Miles nodded. ”Correct.”

”Take this then!”

Following Xiao Chen's howl, he stimulated all of his True Energy and summoned the Dragon's Wrath. The world instantly changed before their eyes as the cloudless sky became filled with rolling dark clouds, casting a dark shadow over the earth.

Gale raged all around them. Vital force surged up violently in the air. Turning pale, countless guards began fleeing. Traceless for Ten Miles narrowed his eyes, thinking, ”The rumors are true.” He moved, charging at him at a lightning-fast speed.

”Roar—”

The ear-splitting howl of a furious dragon reverberated through the air as a gigantic figure of a dragon abruptly dove down. Sensing the terrifying force hidden in the dragon, Traceless for Ten Miles stopped attacking Xiao Chen. He raised his arms and started drawing a spell. Instantly, an earth-shaking power erupted from his palms and lunged at the descending dragon.

A loud explosion resounded as the two strong forces collided. Everything near them was reduced to dust. Several guards who failed to stay out of the way were turned into fogs of blood.

Dust sprang up all around. The entire place was in tatters. Traceless for Ten Miles clutched his chest and coughed up blood. The guards that fled far away were dumbstruck that Xiao Chen defeated Traceless for Ten Miles with just one strike.

To be frank, Traceless for Ten Miles was fast enough that he could have just evaded the dragon's attack earlier. He was just too conceited.

Xiao Chen flicked his sleeves coldly. He said to Qingluan, who stood behind him, ”I'm leaving him to you. I'm going to save Ziyun'er.” He immediately charged into the hall.

The dozen or so guards swiftly moved forward to stop him. Xiao Chen chided them coldly, ”Move if you don't want to die!” He flicked his sleeves and sent the guards flying as if there was a strong gust of wind.

Right then, two silhouettes flew out of the hall. They were Traceless for Ten Miles' Eighth and Ninth Brother, Eight Scarcities Ghost and Nine-patterned Dragon. With two loud noises, they struck Xiao Chen with their palms.

The strong, abrupt attacks forced Xiao Chen to take several steps in retreat. He narrowed his eyes. Once he got a clear look at their fighting styles, he immediately circulated his Qi and unleashed his Immortal-override Steps. He arrived in front of Nine-patterned Dragon like a ghost and landed a kick on his lower jaw, sending the latter flying more than one hundred feet away.

The guards watching from a distance couldn't tell what was going on, except that Nine-patterned Dragon was suddenly thrown. He crashed into an interconnected courtyard, causing it to collapse.

Sensing that things were taking a turn for the worse, Eight Scarcities Ghost swiftly recited a spell. Instantly, a sinister whistling sound echoed throughout the air as eight shadows started plaguing Xiao Chen's back. Xiao Chen, sensing something attacking him with his Divine Sense, whipped around and pushed his palms forward in unison. Two dragon figures emerged from his palms and shattered the shadows with ease.

He disappeared out of view before reappearing in front of Eight Scarcities Ghost in the following second and punching him ten more times. Each of his punches was as furious as a volcanic eruption. He then used his family's ancient martial arts, Gold Break, and sent Eight Scarcities Ghost flying.
