Chapter 659: Killing is the Faster Way to Wealth

These twenty-one saber images looked very realistic. The might of each saber was very great; one did not dare underestimate them.

The most important thing was that Liu Feihu had just dropped his guard. Every step he took was full of openings. It was impossible for him to defend perfectly.

“Dang! Dang! Dang!”

The twenty-one saber images assailed Liu Feihu relentlessly, one after another. He only managed to block the first eighteen saber images, but he could not block the last three. Three saber lights opened bloody wounds on his chest.

Fortunately for Liu Feihu, his Quintessence was much denser than Xiao Chen’s. Although the wounds looked horrifying, they were not fatal.

However, before Liu Feihu could breathe out in relief, the twenty-one saber images linked together, forming a vast sea filled with electricity.

“Bang!”

The sea of lightning exploded and knocked Liu Feihu back, causing him to vomit large mouthfuls of blood. Electricity leaped around his body, crackling nonstop.

The tables had turned instantly, but the attack was not over yet. Before Liu Feihu landed, he saw a strand of saber light coming at him from somewhere.

The saber light flew as fast as lightning, heading for Liu Feihu’s chest. At this critical moment, Liu Feihu put in everything he had into twisting his body.

“Ka ca!”

A scarlet light flashed. The saber light chopped off Liu Feihu’s right arm, and blood fountained out.

Liu Feihu fell to the ground and could not get up again. With his right arm chopped off, he was racked with intense pain. He rolled about on the ground, screaming in anguish.

When Wang Feng, who was not far away, saw this sudden change, he thought that he was hallucinating.

Xiao Chen had been frail and feeble just a moment ago. How did he suddenly become vigorous and lively, turning the situation around in an instant?

By the time Wang Feng recovered his wits, Xiao Chen was already standing on three Azure Dragon images and carrying the severed arm off into the distance, heading for Sky Mound City.

Xiao Chen moved extremely fast, flabbergasting Wang Feng. If Wang Feng chased at full speed, he would barely be able to keep up. With Wang Feng having lost the initiative, he would never be able to catch up.

Wang Feng watched as Liu Feihu moaned loudly on the ground and Xiao Chen retreated quickly. His complexion alternated between green and white in extreme frustration.

Unexpectedly, a newcomer brat played two peak Rising Sky Pavilion inner sect disciples for fools. Furthermore, he made them pay such a high price.

Along the way, Xiao Chen did not reduce his speed. He only breathed out in relief when he reached the limits of Sky Mound City.

The cultivator with the sword gave Xiao Chen a very dangerous vibe. At Xiao Chen’s current cultivation, Xiao Chen would have difficulty defeating him if that swordsman was not careless.

Xiao Chen would be able to trounce this opponent only if he consumed the Quintessence Gathering Pill and refined his Quintessence again. There was no need to risk a loss and fight that cultivator to the death before then.

Walking to the city gates with big strides, Xiao Chen looked at the spatial ring in his hand and smiled faintly. This spatial ring came from Liu Feihu’s arm. As for the arm, he had tossed it away much earlier.

Xiao Chen did not rush to use the transportation formation in the city. He rented a quiet courtyard and prepared to open Liu Feihu’s spatial ring.

Liu Feihu was one of the peak inner sect disciples of the Rising Sky Pavilion. Although he could not compare to the peak Supreme Sky Sect inner sect disciples, he should be much wealthier than those loose cultivators.

After sending his Spiritual Sense into the spatial ring, Xiao Chen carefully looked around, inspecting every corner of it. When he withdrew his Spiritual Sense, he revealed an expression of ecstasy.

He had found a million Superior Grade Spirit Stones and more than a hundred Inferior Grade Spirit Gathering Pearls. Aside from these, there was one Superior Grade Quintessence Gathering Pill, various Rank 8 Medicinal Pills, which were the same rank as the Quintessence Gathering Pill, and many Spiritual Heart Pills.

After one consumed a Spiritual Heart Pill, it eliminated one’s stray thoughts for a period of time, raising the odds of breaking through in the comprehension of a Martial Technique.

There were also many other Medicinal Pills and Spirit Herbs of lower ranks. The long-term accumulations of an inner sect disciple all fell into Xiao Chen’s hands.

Xiao Chen could not help but smile. “That cultivator with the twin sabers probably feels like dying now.”

After tidying up the items from the Seven Black Wind Killers’ and Liu Feihu’s spatial rings, Xiao Chen put on a cloak and went out to exchange all the miscellaneous items for Superior Grade Spirit Stones.

Once he had done this, Xiao Chen had a total of one million and eight hundred thousand or so Superior Grade Spirit Stones. From someone totally broke, he was now wealthy.

However, the most important items were the Spirit Gathering Pearls. Xiao Chen had obtained another hundred-odd Spirit Gathering Pearls from Liu Feihu, enough for him to cultivate to peak Inferior Grade Martial Monarch.

Together with Xiao Chen’s original hundred-odd Inferior Grade Spirit Gathering Pearls, he would still have Spirit Gathering Pearls to cultivate with after consuming the Quintessence Gathering Pill, rapidly increasing his cultivation.

“It is time to raise my cultivation to peak Inferior Grade Martial Monarch,” Xiao Chen said, clenching his fist tightly after pouring out one hundred Spirit Gathering Pearls. As long as he consumed the Quintessence Gathering Pill, he would be able to defeat Wang Feng and Liu Feihu the next time he met them.

Xiao Chen went to the cultivation room in the courtyard and sat cross-legged on the prayer mat. Then he took four Spirit Gathering Pearls and placed them on the Tianmen Acupoint on his head.

When Xiao Chen was a Martial King, he had experienced the might of the Spirit Gathering Pearl. He did not dare to be careless when using it. After taking a deep breath, he slowly melted the four Spirit Gathering Pearls.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

A torrential waterfall of spiritual liquid poured down after the four Spirit Gathering Pearls melted. The spiritual liquid erupted with horrifying energy and spread throughout his body.
