Chapter 658: Sure-kill Situation

Even if there was danger, Xiao Chen could just flee into the air. He did not dare claim to be unrivaled in the same generation, but he took pride in his speed.

If Xiao Chen met with a Martial Sage or someone close to being a Martial Sage, there would no need to even think about it. If a Martial Sage wanted to kill him, no matter how he tried to run, it would be useless.

A small, narrow path wound through the quiet forest. As Xiao Chen walked along the path, he had a calm expression on his face as usual. However, he continuously scanned his surroundings with his Spiritual Sense.

Countless small birds rested on green trees on both sides of the path. These bird species were unique to the Kunlun Realm and were very intelligent.

The bird calls spread continually on the gentle breeze into the distance. Everything seemed normal like nothing had changed.

However, the more normal it was, the more cautious Xiao Chen became. The ninety-nine pearly drops of Quintessence started to circulate quickly. If he ran into any danger, he could quickly counterattack.

“Bang!”

Suddenly, the ground behind Xiao Chen cracked open, and two figures leaped out. A sharp killing intent poured out like a strong wind.

This startled all the birds resting on the trees, causing them to flap their wings and take flight in droves.

The person in front held twin sabers in his hands, moving them around quickly. Strong winds came from his sabers as he unleashed a shocking aura like a storm pouring down.

The saber winds he launched chopped down the surrounding trees, turning them into splinters that disappeared on the wind.

At a glance, clouds of dust and splinters flew up behind the person with twin sabers. Shock waves spread out like waves. When he made his move, he raised his momentum to its peak.

As for the other person behind, he held a 1.3-meter-long sword. The sword light was subdued and looked very ordinary. He seemed like a sharp arrow that pierced through the air and sped along its way.

Compared to the cultivator with twin sabers, the second person seemed very plain and ordinary. The two formed a stark contrast.

One concealed himself thoroughly, and the other had a frightening aura. The two moved together, locking down on Xiao Chen with their killing intent. They clearly intended to take down Xiao Chen in one move.

Xiao Chen had been monitoring his surroundings with his Spiritual Sense. When the two suddenly attacked, he did not get flustered.

In an instant, Xiao Chen found openings in the two’s coordination. After that, he quickly analyzed them in his mind and found the opening that resulted in him receiving the least harm and being able to retreat.

Opportunities were fleeting. Xiao Chen had never been an overly cautious person. After thinking for a moment, he decisively made his move. He drew his saber and sent out a dazzling light. The Quintessence he had circulated in advance instantly poured into his saber.

“Ka ca!”

Xiao Chen turned around and blocked that plain and simple sword. Even though the attack looked plain and simple, it contained an astonishingly strong force.

When saber and sword clashed, energy ripples burst forth and flooded the surroundings, uprooting the trees around and crushing them into powder.

A vast dust cloud surged out, melding with the dust cloud that the cultivator with the twin sabers had kicked up. The entire place turned chaotic; visibility deteriorated.

Xiao Chen’s arm became somewhat numb. He felt astonished at the strength of that swordsman. However, the current situation had unfolded as he had envisioned, so he did not feel any fear.

Xiao Chen’s figure wavered slightly as he used Roaming Dragon’s Nine Transformations to leave behind a clone. Then, he leaped up, hiding in the dust cloud.

Within the dust cloud, the cultivator with twin sabers saw Xiao Chen’s clone flying back. His face lit up with joy as he directly sent a torrent of chaotic attacks at him.

“Chi! Chi!”

In the blink of an eye, the twin sabers sent out no less than a hundred saber lights, tearing Xiao Chen’s clone into many pieces.

When the man with twin sabers saw the result, his expression changed and he cursed in a low voice, “Damn it! I fell for his trick!”

After all the dust settled, the two cultivators looked around. They found Xiao Chen standing on a tree branch a kilometer away, watching them calmly.

Naturally, these two were the Rising Sky Pavilion’s Wang Feng and Liu Feihu. They had buried themselves for a long time already. However, they had not expected Xiao Chen to escape the death trap that they had spent so much time preparing.

While on the tree branch, Xiao Chen probed the two’s cultivation. The swordsman was a middle-stage Medial Grade Martial Monarch, and the cultivator with the twin sabers was just slightly weaker—early-stage Medial Grade Martial Monarch.

Xiao Chen could not help but frown slightly. In the Kunlun Realm, the increase on a grade represented a marked escalation in strength, unlike in the lower realm.

Defeating someone of a higher cultivation grade was extremely difficult. Now, two Medial Grade Martial Monarchs stood before Xiao Chen. He had probably run into some real trouble this time.

Recognizing the insignia on both their chests, Xiao Chen said coldly, “People from the Rising Sky Pavilion? I don’t think we have any grudge between us, so why are you obstructing me?”

Liu Feihu set his twin sabers against each other. His lips curled up as he replied, “Naturally, we have no grudges with each other. However, you have something we want. So, you have to leave it behind.”

Wang Feng had a calm expression as he added, “Just hand over the heads of the Seven Black Wind Killers. You can keep the treasures you obtained from them.”

Like the Supreme Sky Sect’s mission hall, the Rising Sky Pavilion had a contribution ranking as well. As long as one could climb to the top of the ranking, they would receive a very large reward.

Before the reward offered, the two from the Rising Sky Pavilion did not care for that tiny bit of wealth the Seven Black Wind Killers had.

When Xiao Chen heard Wang Feng speaking with such a natural tone—as if it was normal that he should surrender the heads that he worked so hard to obtain—he could not help but laugh hoarsely. He said, “In that case, I have some words for you too. Scram, quick. Otherwise, when the Supreme Sky Sect’s people find out that the Rising Sky Pavilion’s people are behaving atrociously here, you will find it difficult to flee even if you grow wings.”
