Chapter 453: Chapter 210: Three Against Xiao Chen, The Advantage Is Mine
Jin Baoqiang’s sixth uncle, Jin Xiuyong, immediately sent a secret message via Divine Sense.
’The timing is perfect—Xiao Chen just finished a battle, so his True Essence must be greatly depleted. The location is ideal, as other Cultivators rarely pass through here. As long as we’re clean about it, we can guarantee no one will ever know. And as for manpower, it’s three of us against one Xiao Chen. The advantage is ours.’
’Besides,’ he thought, ’to put it bluntly, a middle-aged Sword Cultivator who could only practice a Yellow Level Cultivation Technique definitely has no backing and is no genius. If he had any connections at all, how could he have been reduced to painstakingly cultivating a single Yellow-level Technique for decades?’
With such an opportunity right before their eyes, how could they not be tempted?
So, when Xiao Chen emerged from the sea, he saw Jin Baoqiang hiding in the back.
A middle-aged man with a determined expression smiled at him. "I just heard from my nephew that you, Fellow Daoist, drew your sword to help in a moment of crisis. The Jin Family of Ten Thousand Immortals Island is immensely grateful."
"May I ask your name and home, Fellow Daoist? And to which esteemed sect do you belong?"
"Please be forthcoming. Our families should build a good relationship and support one another in the future."
Xiao Chen waved his hand. "You flatter me, Fellow Daoist. I am Golden Light Wanderer, merely a Loose Cultivator."
"I come from the south, a place quite far from here. You’ve probably never heard of it, so it’s not worth mentioning."
Hearing this, the three members of the Jin Family exchanged a look.
The leader of the group, Jin Baoqiang’s fourth uncle Jin Xiuli, finally made up his mind upon hearing that Xiao Chen had no backing.
’We’re taking these two Demon Pills today.’
He also considered that letting Xiao Chen go would only mean gaining a new enemy.
With a wave of his hand, he produced a bronze gong. "Kill!"
Before his voice had even faded, the gong rang out, its vibrations instantly echoing for miles.
The three of them, of course, were prepared. A profound rune appeared on their bodies, blocking out the sound.
Xiao Chen, however, heard it loud and clear. He immediately felt a heavy blow to his Sea of Consciousness, as if someone had slammed a hammer into his temple.
’Another Divine Sense attack!’
Fortunately, he had condensed his Life Pill a few days ago, and his Divine Sense had been strengthened as a result.
He was stunned for only an instant before his mind cleared.
However, in that brief instant, a Jade Ruyi was already hanging high in the sky.
A Flying Sword assailed him from each side, while from the front, a spectral ape wielding a massive club hundreds of feet long brought it crashing down.
With no time to dodge, Xiao Chen instinctively summoned his Ghost-Faced Profound Light Shield and activated Profound Light Body Protection.
Lacking enough True Essence to activate its Spirit Ascension Form, the Spirit Shield held for only a moment before it was knocked out of the air and into the sea.
Fortunately, that single instant was all he needed to cast his Jade Platform Fire Lotus.
Unfurling, the lotus petals blocked the attacks from all sides.
"That’s not right... What Magic is this?"
Jin Xiuli frowned. ’It clearly looks like a Yellow Level Defense Magic. How did it block my attack so easily?’
"Quick, use Talismans! Don’t give him a chance to make a desperate counter-attack!"
From the side, Jin Xiuyong shouted a reminder, "Sword Cultivators like him excel at life-and-death battles! It’s best to just crush him with Magic!"
But Xiao Chen, contrary to what they expected, was in no hurry to strike back.
Instead, he calmly turned to Jin Baoqiang. "I just saved you twice. Is this how you repay me?"
Jin Baoqiang avoided his gaze. "I’m sorry, Golden Light Taoist. I’ll set up a memorial tablet for you at home, burn incense, and offer sacrifices during the holidays."
Even as he spoke, he activated two Talismans in a row.
"Good. Good. Good."
Sometimes, when you get angry enough, you just have to laugh. That’s how Xiao Chen felt right now.
He took out the White Bone Soul-Calling Banner, directly infusing it with one hundred and twenty streams of True Essence to activate its Spirit Ascension Form and release three Magic Soul Puppets.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he unleashed the True Yang Nine Dragon Dance, preparing to end the battle quickly.
At this point, there was no need to worry about revealing his trump cards. After all, dead men tell no tales.
"A Celestial Level Magic!"
Jin Xiuyong’s face filled with terror as he stared at the miles-long True Yang Fire Dragon.
"It’s not just a Celestial Level Magic! He also used a True Essence Secret Technique to amplify its Magic Power!"
Jin Xiuli’s expression turned hideous. ’This isn’t an ability a Loose Cultivator should possess.’ "Fellow Daoist, wait!" he cried. "It’s a misunderstanding!"
But his answer was a Magic Soul Puppet descending from the sky.
As was his habit, Xiao Chen first directed the Fire Dragon to take care of the weakest one, Jin Baoqiang.
Jin Xiuyong was next.
"You even have Celestial Level Escape Techniques! Just who are you?"
Jin Xiuli tried to flee, but discovered there was no escape.
"Me?"
Xiao Chen ran his Red Gold Four-Sided Mace through the man’s heart. "I’m the one who’s taking your life!"
