Chapter 668: News of the Holy Spring!
Chapter 668: Chapter 668: News of the Holy Spring!
Chen Xiao’s figure was not tall, yet his slightly slender back at this moment felt like a towering mountain, providing Su Miaoyin and the female disciples of Miaoqu Palace with an unprecedented sense of security.
"Where did this stray dog come from to block the way?"
An elder with a pockmarked face from Kao Shan Sect sneered sinisterly, his bronze-colored muscles gleaming with a metallic shine, "Flying? Looks like he just broke through to the Heavenly Realm and already dares to play hero to save the beauty?"
Another strong figure from Kao Shan Sect folded his arms, his eyes filled with cold disdain, "This brat really doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. He must be getting arrogant, thinking that he’s someone among his peers and dare to provoke us. Truly ignorant to the extreme!"
A protector from Wushen Sect playing with a string of skull prayer beads chuckled darkly, licking his black lips, "This boy’s tender skin, capturing him to refine into a Blood Puppet would be quite good!"
"Whether I have the ability or not, why don’t you try and find out?" Chen Xiao lightly shook the Dragon Chant Sword, its sound like a dragon’s roar in the sky. A fierce Sword Qi spread out.
Su Miaoyin was calm; among so many people, she was the most knowledgeable about Chen Xiao’s strength.
However, the female disciples of Miaoqu Palace were extremely nervous.
Chen Xiao appeared to be of a similar age to them; could he really be the match for these old monsters? Across from them were two to three hundred people, several of whom were even Heavenly Realm experts!
But at this moment, they could only place all their hopes on Chen Xiao.
The Holy Daughter was the strongest among them, even Su Miaoyin had sought out Chen Xiao for help, indicating Chen Xiao had some skill. All they could do was place their hopes on him.
Ouyang Qian suddenly felt a sense of peril, the feeling Chen Xiao gave her was dangerous. She quickly shouted angrily, "Everyone, why are we wasting words with him? Just kill him, let’s end this!"
The protector from Wushen Sect holding the skull prayer beads said indifferently, "You go, kill him."
He was commanding the two Heavenly Realm experts from Kao Shan Sect.
Kao Shan Sect, now just a lapdog of their Wushen Sect.
Although both were in the early stages of the Tongtian Realm, their status and position were far higher than the others.
"Boom—"
The pockmarked elder stomped the ground, his fist the size of a bowl smashing down with wind and thunder.
Chen Xiao advanced instead of retreating, dragon scales layered on his right arm rising, and the moment the fists collided—
"Crack!"
The elder’s entire right arm broke like a dry branch, white bones pierced through the skin, drawing out blood arrows.
The pockmarked elder’s face twisted.
Trembling in pain.
Could this guy’s physique be even stronger than our Kao Shan Sect’s body cultivators?
"Is this physique? Your Kao Shan Sect’s Body Refining Techniques are truly useless, trained in vain."
Chen Xiao transformed his fist into claws, gripping the elder’s throat, fierce Sword Qi erupting from his palm!
"Puff!"
Blood rain mixed with meat fragments filled the sky, a Heavenly Realm expert was exploded mid-air!
"Boy, die!"
Another elder from Kao Shan Sect, bald, his eyes bloodshot, summoned a life-bound copper hammer, smashing down fiercely, yet was caught barehanded by Chen Xiao, his hand stopping it effortlessly.
The motion was graceful, without any exertion.
"Too slow." Chen Xiao slightly trembled his wrist, the copper hammer smashed back, sounds of skull cracking and wailing echoed simultaneously...
The bald elder turned into a puddle of mud on the ground.
The whole area was dead silent.
The expressions on the faces of the female disciples from Miaoqu Palace transformed from worry to admiration, their beautiful eyes shining brightly.
"Senior Sister, what is the background of this handsome young man? So strong, he makes me feel so secure!"
"Senior Sister... I, I don’t have a Dao companion yet, can you introduce him to me?" Another green-clad girl blushed shyly, her beautiful eyes staring at Chen Xiao.
"Children shouldn’t think about these things!" Su Miaoyin knocked on her head, yet her beautiful eyes also remained fixed on Chen Xiao, her heart filled with complexity.
Honestly, she had no friendship with Chen Xiao, and there was even some enmity between them.
She never imagined Chen Xiao would actually step in to help!
Could it be he truly wanted her to become a slave or maid?
The more she thought, the more conflicted her heart became.
If Chen Xiao really made such a request, then she... would she have to comply?
This favor was too immense!
Besides that, she couldn’t think of any other way to repay Chen Xiao.
Seeing Chen Xiao kill two early-stage Tongtian Realm experts consecutively, the pupils of those protectors from Wushen Sect contracted abruptly.
After exchanging a glance, they nodded immediately, "Together, let’s kill him!"
Five shadows erupted simultaneously!
The Blood Soul Banner unfolded covering the sky, wailing Resentful Souls condensed into a giant claw, grabbing toward Chen Xiao’s spiritual points!
"Noisy." Chen Xiao sliced out Azure Dragon Sword Energy, the Resentful Souls’ giant claw melted like spring snow.
Now, dealing with Heavenly Realm early-stage martial artists was like child’s play for him.
Complete domination.
Following, the Dragon Chant Sword flew spinning out of his hand, drawing five golden lines in the air.
"Ch, ch, ch!"
As miserable screams echoed, five heads rolled to the ground, headless corpses still maintaining their sealing posture.
No one on the scene was left anything but stunned!
Heavenly Realm experts!!!
Chen Xiao just slaughtered them as easily as cutting melons and vegetables?
Hundreds of disciples from Kao Shan Sect and Wushen Sect were instantly petrified.
"Run—"
They scattered like birds and beasts.
Everyone was rolling and crawling away.
"Since you’re here, stay." As Chen Xiao’s calm voice rose, the Dragon Chant Sword swung.
The Sword Qi was like a long rainbow, slashing out continuously.
Large swathes of Kao Shan Sect and Wushen Sect disciples were cleaved apart like cutting through vegetables.
The air was filled with cries of pain.
There was not the slightest resistance.
The Miaoqu Palace disciples, all clenched their fists tightly!
The Wushen Sect was brutal and lawless!
Kao Shan Sect, those who act as accomplices must die!
Thinking of their fellow disciples being tortured so gruesomely by them, hatred surged in their hearts.
Ouyang Qian’s entire body trembled.
What kind of monster is this?
Even though she is a Martial Artist in the Heavenly Realm, at this moment her legs went soft, unable to muster any fighting spirit!
In just an instant, she made up her mind.
Escape.
She immediately screamed and transformed into a blood light to flee!
Chen Xiao made a grab in the air—
"Ah!!"
"Whoosh!" Under Chen Xiao’s Spiritual Power, a cyan dragon claw condensed in the void, grabbing tightly.
"Crack, crack!"
With a scream, Ouyang Qian’s spine was crushed inch by inch, echoing cries of pain.
"Young Master, spare me! Young Master, I am willing... willing to serve you..."
"Sorry, I find it filthy." Chen Xiao frowned with disdain, then tossed her like garbage to Su Miaoyin’s feet, "Your own affairs, handle them yourself."
Su Miaoyin gratefully glanced at Chen Xiao, then, with a cold look, came before Ouyang Qian.
"Senior Sister, spare me!"
Ouyang Qian, tears streaming down her face, clutched at Su Miaoyin’s dress hem, "For the sake of old times..."
"Old times?" Su Miaoyin lifted her chin with the sword’s tip, "When you killed three hundred sect mates, did you think of old times? When you betrayed Master, causing him to fall into peril, did you think of old times? Ouyang Qian, you are disloyal and unfilial, heartless and unjust, deserving of death ten thousand times over!"
Saying this, the Qingyuan Jade Girl Skill circulated, and the sword glowed with moonlight.
"Senior Sister, we’ve always been like sisters, do you really want to put me to death? I am your Junior Sister after all, we grew up together..."
Despite a fleeting moment of reluctance in Su Miaoyin’s heart, she remained resolute, coldly saying, "If I don’t kill you, how do I face those who died because of you?"
"Even in death, I will take you down, you slut!"
Seeing her determined stance, Ouyang Qian suddenly leaped, firing three nails from her sleeve!
These nails, called Soul Devouring Nails, could damage souls slightly or completely scatter them!
"Seems you remain unrepentant."
Having anticipated this, Su Miaoyin sighed slightly, sidestepped the attack, unsheathed the sharp sword, accurately stabbing through Ouyang Qian’s chest, piercing her heart.
Ouyang Qian stared at the blade through her chest, blood trickling from her mouth, life fading away... falling straight back.
Several Miaoqu Palace disciples, filled with grief and anger, stepped forward to stab her corpse several times.
For this traitor Ouyang Qian, they hated her to the core!
Su Miaoyin’s eyes were complex, finally landing on Chen Xiao, she bowed slightly, "Young Master Chen’s great kindness,"
"There’s no need for these formalities; they’re all empty, promises of servitude." Chen Xiao spoke with a faint smile, "Surely Su Fairy hasn’t forgotten?"
Su Miaoyin’s face flushed slightly, unsure of how to respond, finally biting her red lips, about to speak.
The green-dressed girl behind her boldly stepped forward, her collar unknowingly loosened a bit, "Young Master Chen, my Senior Sister is shy, and as the Holy Daughter, how can she lower her status? I... I’ve never had a Dao partner, so I can take this punishment for her."
Her disheveled clothes revealed some charm, with a pitifully enchanting demeanor and the blush on her youthful face, that no man could resist.
A few slightly bolder women also shyly stepped forward, "Green Dress Junior Sister is right, we... can take this punishment for our Senior Sister, as long as Young Master Chen doesn’t despise us."
The seductive glances they frequently cast made Chen Xiao find it hard to withstand.
He finally understood why the Tang Monk almost wavered in the Women Country.
He withdrew his sword, saying calmly, "I killed the people from Kao Shan Sect and Wushen Sect because they deserved it, and it was done conveniently; you needn’t take it to heart."
The women, seeing Chen Xiao’s steadfast mind, secretly bit their lips, regretting.
Chen Xiao’s handsome appearance and the formidable strength he displayed had already made many of them enamored, only to find their affections unreciprocated.
They guessed, even if Chen Xiao were to choose, he would choose their Senior Sister.
Su Miaoyin waved her sleeve, shooing them away.
Seeing that trace of anger in Su Miaoyin’s eyes, the bold young women retreated with playful laughter.
It seemed their never-swayed-by-worldly-things Senior Sister was jealous.
Su Miaoyin asked, "Is Young Master heading to the Heavenly Spirit Mountain?"
Seeing Chen Xiao raise his eyebrows, she knew she guessed right, and continued, "I presume Young Master Chen is going to Heavenly Spirit Mountain to look for the Snow Spirit Holy Spring, right?"
"Unfortunately, half a month ago, the former Snow Spirit Holy Spring suddenly ran dry, and it might take a month to recover."
Hearing this, Chen Xiao’s eyes slightly congealed, "The Spiritual Spring dried up?"
Su Miaoyin said, "Yes."
"If Young Master doesn’t believe me, you can go up the mountain to see for yourself. You saved so many of my sisters and me; I wouldn’t be so shameless as to deceive Young Master Chen."
Chen Xiao’s face showed a hint of discontent.
At this moment, Su Miaoyin smiled sweetly and said, "Please don’t be disappointed, Young Master Chen. There is half a jug stored in Miaoqu Palace’s secret vault, which might alleviate Young Master’s urgent need."
