Chapter 887: You Are Not Even within My Sights
If Xiao Chen could win back a resource star from each of the two bets, he would regain two resource stars without any effort. This feat would be worth one million military merits.
Xiao Chen thought for a while before he slowly opened his eyes. He said, “Wei Hua, I wonder if you really look down on me or are just pretending to. In any case, you are nothing in my eyes. You will definitely lose this bet.
“Since you mentioned the grudges from inside the Sage Mark Monument, that is just as well. We will settle everything in one go. Kui Dou, you attack as well. If the two of you can defeat me while working together, I will break my own arm. If you lose, at least you will be able to hand over a resource star, convinced of your loss.”
With these words, the entire place erupted in a furor. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen wanted to challenge two Sovereign Martial Emperor descendants at the same time. In this age, there was no lack of young demonic geniuses that performed miraculous feats.
However, the number of young demonic geniuses that would dare to say such worlds could be counted with one hand.
The previous Xiao Chen might be considered nothing much. Before, he had had to play many tricks in order to take advantage of the Corpse Race and the Ghost Race. He had used his words to trample on Di Wuque. But the Xiao Chen now was someone who lived up to his words.
In this flourishing age, Xiao Chen would definitely be one of the leaders.
However, no matter how anyone thought about it, what Xiao Chen said seemed impossible. He was more likely to suffer defeat and become the joke of the world, a lesson to others on hubris.
“Xiao Chen, you are really courageous. Since you want to die so much, I will let you.”
Kui Dou’s biggest goal in Dragon Wood Star was to deal with Xiao Chen. After he saw Xiao Chen undergo a rebirth, he thought that he would have difficulty finding a chance to do so. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen presented this opportunity to him on a silver platter.
Fighting two against one to resolve all the grudges from the Sage Mark Monument suited Wei Hua’s intentions.
Although Wei Hua did not think much of Kui Dou, he still felt that with the two of them working together, their chance of victory would definitely increase significantly.
Long Fei gently closed his folding fan and slowly flew backwards. The starlight gradually vanished, and he retreated fifty kilometers in the blink of an eye.
As Kui Dou responded to the challenge, the cultivators in the sky all showed cautious expressions, flying higher.
These three people were not ordinary demonic geniuses. They were very strong, far stronger than regular Superior Grade Martial Sages. They also came from very illustrious backgrounds. If they did not change the location of this battle, the entire Black Patterned Island would end up shattered to bits without a doubt. So it was better that the spectators distanced themselves.
Xiao Chen, Kui Dou, and Wei Hua all stood in midair, each to a corner. They did not do anything. Under the night sky, the entire Black Patterned Island fell silent. None of the three took the initiative to attack. They did not even project their auras.
A refreshing cold Qi came from the Sea Monarch Headscarf on Xiao Chen’s forehead and flowed around in his body, keeping his heart as calm as still water.
On the surface, Kui Dou and Wei Hua looked calm. However, their hearts were wavering. Worry filled their minds as they tried to think of countermeasures. They felt rather conflicted.
The two of them wanted to work together to attack, but they could not find any opening in Xiao Chen. They did not dare to rush forward and could only continue waiting anxiously.
After figuring out what Kui Dou and Wei Hua were thinking, Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, “I already gave you the chance to make the first move, but you did not take it. In that case, you can forget about me giving you any more opportunities.”
Xiao Chen’s figure flashed and left behind an afterimage where he had been. He turned into a flawlessly bright saber light. The melodious sound of a treasured saber being unsheathed rang out in the silent night. It sounded very distinct, drawing the curtains on this act, starting the battle.
It looked like Xiao Chen’s afterimage sent out a strand of saber light. His real body was already so fast that most of the onlookers could not see it at all.
Kui Dou felt a cool sensation on his forehead. Before the bright saber light formed, he already felt that Xiao Chen was charging at him.
In the time it took for a spark to fly, Kui Dou moved as well. The pure Vital Qi in his body surged like a river, gushing around with a rumble. When he moved, his Vital Qi made the surrounding air tremble.
The vibrations blended, sounding like explosions in the air. However, even though they were startlingly loud, they could not drown out the melodious saber hum.
A shining saber light appeared before Kui Dou’s eyes. He held his breath and paid attention, staring at that saber light. As long as Xiao Chen appeared, he would strike Xiao Chen with half a Dragon Force.
With two thousand five hundred tons of force, Kui Dou could smash a body made of iron into mush. What more one of flesh?
“Roar!”
However, entirely outside Kui Dou’s expectations, it was not Xiao Chen who emerged from the bright saber light but a dragon—a soaring Azure Dragon baring fangs and claws. As it exhaled, it spat out clouds. Azure scales covered its body. If this was not the legendary Azure Dragon, what else could it be?
“How could this be?!”
Kui Dou’s heart exploded with foul language as he goggled at the unbelievable scene before him. However, he had two years of experience in the Starry Heaven Silver Lake. At this critical moment, he did not fall into a daze. He shouted a war cry and threw a punch.
In the end, Kui Dou managed to strike out with half a Dragon Force. There was even a faint image of an ancient Heavenly Dragon behind him when he punched.
