Chapter 519: Chapter 227: Get Out? You’re Not Getting Out
"Ugh... Urgh..."
Choked until his face turned purple, Dai Tianrui couldn’t speak a word.
But the other Cultivators around them couldn’t help but cry out in alarm, and the entire area erupted in an uproar.
"Ouch, my ears."
A Loose Cultivator clutched his ears. He was only at the Early Stage of the Golden Core realm, and the mighty roar had nearly shattered his eardrums.
"Holy shit, I think I actually saw a giant dragon swishing its tail just now."
His companion, however, had no time to comfort him, rubbing his eyes as if he were hallucinating.
"How can there be such immense power? What school of techniques is this?"
The Walking Elder of the Five Thunders Temple was also frozen in place, having suddenly lost his composure.
He had lived for over three hundred years and fought in hundreds of battles, large and small, yet he had never seen such a powerful Martial Technique.
The Left Protector of the Fu Bing Sect was completely stunned.
He then silently took a few steps back, his movements subconsciously becoming lighter and slower.
Even though he knew he hadn’t actually offended Xiao Chen, he just didn’t feel safe unless he stood further away.
’He actually dared to strike? And he succeeded?’
Wen Suruo stood rooted to the spot, never having imagined such a turn of events.
Just a moment ago, she thought she had understood Xiao Chen’s feelings, but she never expected him to act in such an astonishing way.
.
Recalling her earlier assumptions, she blushed. It had been a complete misunderstanding on her part.
Faced with Dai Tianrui, some chose to endure, but others chose to fight back.
Now, looking at Xiao Chen’s back and hearing his casual, nonchalant counter-question, Wen Suruo felt her heart skip a beat.
It was a feeling of admiration mixed with a sense of her own inferiority, a cathartic satisfaction at seeing Dai Tianrui humiliated, and yet... it seemed to be more than just that.
"Let go of Junior Brother Dai!"
Zhang Gongxian’s expression changed. He could no longer stand by and watch the show.
Before, he could stand aside and gloat, knowing that disciples from major families always carried life-saving items.
But if something truly happened to Dai Tianrui while he was present and did nothing...
Then when the sect investigated afterward, he would be unable to withstand the wrath of Elder Dai.
CRACK!
With the crisp sound of a breaking bone, Xiao Chen easily snapped Dai Tianrui’s neck.
POOF!
A muffled sound followed, and the person in his hands instantly turned into a dummy woven from straw.
Meanwhile, a figure appeared hundreds of feet away.
It was Dai Tianrui, having once again escaped death.
"Hiss... a Life Replacement Grassman."
Xiao Chen drew in a sharp breath. ’He still had a life-saving trick up his sleeve?’
But then again, since Wen Ruoxi had been able to obtain a Life Replacement Grassman before, it was actually quite normal for other disciples of major families to carry one.
As a disciple from the Direct Lineage of a major power, he naturally wouldn’t fall so easily.
But it didn’t matter. It just meant he would have to kill him again.
Now that everyone was trapped on Celestial Star Island, Dai Tianrui couldn’t escape even if he grew wings.
Life-saving Spiritual Objects were ultimately limited to one or two. They could save him once or twice, but not a third time.
"Senior Brother Zhang, save me!"
"Senior Brother Kuang, save me!"
Dai Tianrui was clearly panicked. He no longer cared about his so-called pride. While activating a Spirit Shield for Defense, he cried out for help.
At the same time, he was cursing inwardly, ’Where the hell did Grim-face and Skinny Dog go? Why aren’t they back yet?’
’After I get out of here, I’ll definitely kill those useless bastards for dereliction of duty.’
The aforementioned Senior Brother Kuang happened to be right next to Dai Tianrui. Hearing his plea, he immediately summoned two Refined Corpses to guard them on both sides, while also activating his own Spirit Shield for coordinated Defense.
On the other side, Zhang Gongxian breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
He then directly summoned six Refined Corpses, and the auras of six Late-stage Golden Core beings instantly swept across the area.
He himself radiated the pressure of the Great Perfection of the Golden Core realm, an aura that was even more powerful than all six of his Refined Corpses combined.
After doing all this, Zhang Gongxian finally looked at Xiao Chen. "Fellow Cultivator, there’s a limit to everything."
"Although Junior Brother Dai was impulsive just now and said some inappropriate things, you didn’t suffer any real harm in the end."
"So please, for my sake, let’s end this here."
Although his words didn’t seem harsh, his tone carried a blatant threat.
As his voice fell, five other Yin Corpse Sect disciples around them immediately released their Refined Corpses, all of them locking onto Xiao Chen.
Clearly, they were all supporters of Zhang Gongxian.
Besides, the Yin Corpse Sect relied on their Refined Corpses for combat and had never been shy about using superior numbers to bully the few.
"Simply... a den of vile creatures!"
A trace of disgust flashed in the eyes of the Five Thunders Temple Walking Elder, but it was overshadowed by a sense of helplessness.
In his heart, he considered the Yin Corpse Sect to be a Demon Sect, but it was obvious that his position was too low and his words carried no weight.
"Old Zhang?"
The Left Protector’s eye twitched as he stared at a particularly familiar figure among the Refined Corpses.
It was an old friend of his who had suddenly disappeared without a trace forty years ago. He never expected him to end up like this.
He couldn’t help but clench his fists, but he quickly lowered his head, not daring to let the fury in his eyes show.
On the surface, it seemed as though the Fu Bing Sect had become the second-greatest power in the Sea of Darkness.
In reality, this was merely the Yin Corpse Sect showing deference to the Fu Bing True Monarch. If he were to truly offend the Yin Corpse Sect, he, the Left Protector, would not be able to protect even himself.
’Utterly shameless!’
Wen Suruo cursed inwardly. Her gaze then dimmed, as the current situation was exactly what she had always feared.
As the local power, the Yin Corpse Sect also had the most members inside the Relic.
