Chapter 1108: I Am Not a Pushover (1/2)
Xiao Chen used the clearly horrifying Great Perfection saber soul and the Great Perfection will of thunder. However, when he drew his saber, the surface of the sea, as well as the winds, remained dead calm, not fluctuating in the slightest.
Control towards all sorts of energy. A very fine control. This was the result of his practice of Saber Techniques over the past year.
Although Xiao Chen’s cultivation had not risen significantly, he already gained control. There were no slip-ups at all; he could move quickly without making a sound. When he used the Azure Emperor’s Drawing the Saber, he could create eighty-one different saber trajectories in the time it took for a spark to fly.
The saber light flashed. As Xiao Chen sheathed his saber, the black-clad old man’s body suddenly burst forth with a resplendent saber light, then split in half and fell from the sky to dye the water red.
Xiao Chen did not retreat, although the remaining three people were only ten meters away. He raised his head and said, “Now we can talk.”
One second ago, the black-clad old man was alive. One second later, he had died without an intact corpse, leaving only the sea that was dyed red.
When the three old men heard what Xiao Chen said, they all felt horror. No one had expected that after drawing his saber, Xiao Chen would be so dreadfully strong.
The anger in their hearts could not possibly surge any higher. Without warning, Xiao Chen killed at the drop of a hat. After killing, he calmly said that they could now negotiate.
“Damn the negotiation. You are seeking death!”
One of the old men had a good relationship with the dead person. He could no longer contain his rage and roared. Then, he stepped forward and cocked his arm to send a punch at Xiao Chen.
The old man drove the surging power of the world, and the water for five kilometers around them soared into the sky, stirring up countless towering waves.
Even though this old man was fast, Xiao Chen was even faster. Just as the old man took one step forward and his foot landed, Xiao Chen thrust his sheathed Lunar Shadow Saber forward. For some reason, the scabbard stopped right at the old man’s throat.
The motion was silent and fluid like water. It flowed very naturally and did not leak out any strength. It looked far from comparable to the commotion from the old man’s unfired punch.
However, this simple move pressed on the old man’s death acupoint. The other two old men did not even have an opportunity to help.
Before Xiao Chen’s calm gaze, the surging seawater for five kilometers around descended slowly. Relative superiority was determined in an instant.
As the waves settled and the water fell back down, it drizzled back to the sea, creating a lot of noise.
“Do you think that I’m still the same pushover from one year ago? Do you think that by simply sending a few Great Perfection quasi-Emperors, you will be able to drive me into a corner? Don’t be so naive.”
An intangible grandeur in Xiao Chen’s level tone deterred the three from taking any action whatsoever.
The three were shocked. This was not an aura but a kind of atmosphere—the atmosphere that was intrinsic to an expert. There was no way to imitate it or purposely reveal it.
Despite Xiao Chen’s extreme youth, no more than twenty-nine years old now, the atmosphere he gave off was stronger than that of these old men who had lived for several centuries. Such a thought was simply incredible.
“I said it very clearly earlier. If we are to negotiate, that person has to die first. If you wish to attack, I do not mind killing a few more people. Let’s see how many Great Perfection quasi-Emperors the Eastern Sea Divine Dragon Palace can afford to sacrifice.”
The old man whom Xiao Chen’s scabbard pressed against said coldly, “If you dare, then do it. The Divine Dragon Palace might still be able to forgive you for killing one Great Perfection quasi-Emperor. However, if you go overboard, then don’t blame our Eastern Sea Divine Dragon Palace for being merciless when we send out a Martial Emperor to suppress you.”
Of the Sea Monarch’s old guards, the Eastern Sea Divine Dragon Palace was the strongest. However, even the strongest Divine Dragon Palace was still much inferior to an Immortal Holy Land.
The Eastern Sea Divine Dragon Palace definitely would not have many Great Perfection quasi-Emperors. If Xiao Chen killed off four, the faction would not be able to accept it.
The old man’s words contained a heavy threat. He wanted to take the initiative to scare Xiao Chen and shock him.
Xiao Chen smiled coldly in his heart. These Immortal Holy Lands did not dare to touch him because the Thunder Sovereign was still alive.
Even if he killed the three before him, the Eastern Sea Divine Dragon Palace would not dare to do anything to him.
“Bang!”
Xiao Chen could not be bothered to speak further with this person. He pressed down with his scabbard, striking this person’s chest. A huge force surged out, which caused that old man to vomit blood and sent him flying back one kilometer.
The other two old men quickly moved back to help this old man to his feet. They no longer dared to be careless, showing wary expressions on their faces.
Xiao Chen put down his saber and said indifferently, “Just say what’s on your mind. My time is limited.”
At this moment, the three old men had no choice but to accept the fact that Xiao Chen had killed one of them. One of the old men at the sides said, “Our Young Palace Master wants your Sea Monarch Headscarf. If you are willing to exchange it, you can make your demands.”
Sea Monarch Headscarf!
What do they want with the Sea Monarch Headscarf? Xiao Chen felt suspicious in his heart. However, he did not think too much about it. The Sea Monarch Headscarf was something that he would not sell. No matter what, he could not exchange it. So he did not hesitate to reject them, then turned to leave.
“Azure Dragon King, it is better to make a friend rather than an enemy in the Heavenly Starry Ocean. This is your only chance to resolve things between you and our Eastern Sea Divine Dragon Palace. As long as you agree, this Young Palace Master can help you deal with the Western Sea’s Seven Distinguished Dragon Marquises, get them to stop causing trouble for Heavenly Star Island.”
The voice from behind stunned Xiao Chen. Heavy murderous intent flashed in his eyes again as an impulse to kill reappeared.
Xiao Chen had not expected that even after he left, the Seven Distinguished Dragon Marquises would not let Lan Shaobai and the others off.
