Chapter 935: Killed in One Blow (1/2)

There were sword formations, flame formations, illusion formations, ice formations, and even devouring formations. The many horrifying restrictions were dazzling.

Miserable cries resounded. Xiao Chen turned his head to look and saw a peak Superior Grade Martial Sage dying in an instant, pierced by strands of sword Qi; he had tried to use his Secret Treasure to break through a restriction forcefully to obtain a Magic Treasure.

Xiao Chen looked even farther. The light of treasures was even more dazzling there. Despite extending his Spiritual Sense, he could not see clearly. That area was crowded with grandmaster-level Martial Sages fighting with each other.

“Bang!”

Just as the two were about to continue forward, a white figure with a full head of red hair suddenly landed at their feet.

When Xiao Chen saw this person’s face, he could not help but smile faintly. “Brother Ye, the mountains and rivers always meet. We see each other yet again.”

This person was Ye Chen. However, based on his appearance, the situation was not good; he was severely injured and seemed to be fleeing pursuit.

“Ye Chen, weren’t you very arrogant in the Heavenly Starry Ocean? Why are you lying down over here?!”

The air filled with starlight. A few people arrived standing on the starlight. The person leading them held an Astral Banner. As he took long strides forward, he exuded incomparable arrogance.

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows. The Astral Banner in this person’s hand had seven Astral Pearls. It was precisely a Big Dipper Banner, a complete and flawless Astral Banner.

When the girl beside the new arrival saw Xiao Chen, she immediately cried out, “Senior Brother Luo Ji, he is Xiao Chen. He is the one who snatched our life Big Dipper Banners.”

Ye Chen coughed a few times and stood up. He smiled and said, “Luo Ji, apparently, this is all you are capable of. If not for Di Wuque and his thirteen Keepers injuring me beforehand, it would be easy for me to squish you like an ant.”

“Even on your deathbed, you are still so stubborn!”

Luo Ji brandished the Big Dipper Banner, swinging it. A strong wind formed of Astral Energy blew. Ye Chen raised his saber to block and could not help vomiting another mouthful of blood as he went flying back towards Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen stepped forward and placed his hand on Ye Chen’s shoulder. He used a bit of strength to eliminate the force acting on Ye Chen’s body, then pulled Ye Chen behind him.

Luo Ji stood erect in midair and frowned as he held the Big Dipper Banner. With a proud expression on his face, he said, “Xiao Chen, I heard that all the experts in this palace want to kill you. Hand over my junior sister’s life Big Dipper Banner, and I can pretend that I never saw you.”

Smiling faintly, Xiao Chen retorted flippantly, “But I saw you.”

But I saw you?

When the Big Dipper Palace’s Luo Ji heard this response, he laughed instead of getting angry. This fellow was crazy. All Luo Ji needed to do was shout, and a large number of people would charge over, aiming for Xiao Chen’s life, yet Xiao Chen dared to be so arrogant.

“I gained ten types of divine materials from Di Wuque, five tons of each. Now, my Big Dipper Banner is no longer like before. Even the life Big Dipper Banners of the Big Dipper Palace’s elders cannot compare to mine.”

With a wave of his hand, the Big Dipper Banner that Luo Ji held unfurled and radiated starlight. The seven Astral Pearls shone with a blinding brilliance.

Luo Ji pointed the tip of the banner at Xiao Chen. The starlight in the air immediately coalesced, pulsating with a dazzling cold light as if it would spew out at any moment and destroy everything before it.

Luo Ji’s gaze turned chill as he demanded, “Where do you get all your confidence from to be so arrogant before me? Hand over my junior sister’s life Big Dipper Banner now! Otherwise, I will shout, and you will die without a body to bury.”

Xiao Chen smiled coldly and said, “Go on and shout. By all means, give it a try. See if you can shout my name, Xiao Chen!”

Luo Ji laughed loudly and said, “Your name is not some forbidden name. I will shout it now and let all the people in the heavenly palace know. The many experts here will crush you to pieces.”

Luo Ji did not show any fear at all. He took a deep breath and circulated his Quintessence, preparing to inform the people of the Heavenly Music Sect, the Frost Moon Sect, the sects of the disciples whom Xiao Chen had killed, and the various loose cultivators of Xiao Chen’s location.

“Xiao—”

Luo Ji’s Law Energy gushed, and his Quintessence surged. The word “Xiao” sounded like thunder, echoing without end. However, he could not finish the final “Chen” word.

Resplendent starlight several times stronger than the light of Luo Ji’s Astral Banner suddenly shot out from Xiao Chen’s hand, instantly blinding Luo Ji temporarily.

Boundless killing Qi surged out. The tip of a banner served as a spearhead, stabbing into Luo Ji’s throat. Just as he was about to say the final word, he died.

Up to the moment he died, he did not get to see how Xiao Chen attacked.

“Bang!”

Starlight exploded, and the three lights of Massacre, Death, and Ruin flickered, blasting apart Luo Ji’s head.

Xiao Chen twisted his wrist, and the Big Dipper Banner opened. A red light flashed, and the fluttering banner swept through the entire place, crushing all the juniors of Luo Ji beside him into bits.

The initial light of the reforged Big Dipper Banner instantly killed this group of people.

Lord Jiu, who was at the side, quickly flew out. Then, with long familiarity, he grabbed the spatial rings of these people.

Ye Chen was flabbergasted. He had even felt some fear when Xiao Chen sent out that light. This Xiao Chen was totally different from the calm and collected image that he normally projected.

“Is this the reason you were not willing to leave that day? What Secret Treasure is this?” Ye Chen asked.

“Cycle Banner. I refined it myself. Now is not the time for talking. The commotion that Luo Ji caused just now will definitely attract some attention. We should leave first before speaking.” Xiao Chen carefully stored the Astral Banners and led the two away.

Clearly, it was no longer suitable to call this Astral Banner the Big Dipper Banner. After Xiao Chen infused in the Massacre Throne, Death Throne, and Ruin Throne, it already diverged from the Big Dipper Palace’s Big Dipper Banner.

The word “cycle” happened to reflect Xiao Chen’s ambition.
