Shen Gongpao: The deity that is being assigned to travel to the earthly realm to complete the task is Jiang Ziya!
"Damn! Are you sure that you are not joking with me? Did they just send Jiang Ziya to the earthly realm? It seems like Jiang Ziya has lost all the trust from the Primordial Lord of Heaven! Not only all his power is stripped, he is now being banished to the earthly realm! He is still my foe! Could it be he is coming down to the earthly realm to mess with me?"
Shen Gongpao: The skill that Jiang Ziya going to carry with him when he travels to the earthly realm is called the Six Strategies Three Tactics – The Ultimate Ways of Warring.
Chen Xiaobei: What does that do?
Shen Gongpao: It's an extremely useful skill! Before Shixiong Jiang became a deity, he spent 40 years of his life to studying about the art of war. That is why he is a prodigy when it comes to warfare! The moment he comes up with a war strategy, there is no one else in this world will be able to defeat him!
"A war prodigy? That is useless to me! I'm living in the earthly realm and China is a peaceful society! Jiang Ziya will have no opportunity to showcase his talent! However, this is actually pretty predictable. There is no way in heaven or hell that Chanism is going to let me live a comfortable life."
Shen Gongpao: Shidi Xiaobei, do you have anything you want to say about this decision?
Chen Xioabei: There is nothing I can do even if I want to oppose it. It's not like you'd let someone take Jiang Ziya's place!
Shen Gongpao: Great! Since you have nothing to say about this decision, I'm going to make some arrangements right now! If everything goes smooth, Jiang Ziya will arrive at the earthly realm within three days! Please prepare to welcome him.
"F*ck! What a shameless bastard! He didn't even plan to discuss it with me first! Doesn't matter anymore! I will not be able to make him change his mind anyway! Still, the earthly realm is my territory! I will guide Jiang Ziya on the right path to recruit disciples if he is willing to act in an obedient manner. If he insists to go against me, I will come up with something to deal with him!"
Chen Xiaobei: I know. I will make a move first if there's nothing else important that you want to tell me!
Shen Gongpao: Shidi Xiaobei, you may leave now! (Evil smile)
...….
Upon returning to Bei Xuan Faction, Chen Xiaobei introduced Wu Aofeng to everyone. Considering that he had a casual personality, he soon managed to blend in perfectly well. The moment that he knew that Feng Qingyang was from Northwest as well, he went and talked to him like he was his old friend. Seemingly, Chen Xiaobei did not need to worry that he would not be able to blend into the faction. After asking Feng Qingyang to take care of him, Chen Xiaobei went back to his room.
"I have finished consuming my last reserve of Spiritual Qi today. What should I do to acquire more Spiritual Qi?
Lying on the bed, Chen Xiaobei was feeling worried. Last time, he had sufficient Spiritual Qi to carry out his training regime but he did not have time to do so. Now, he had the time but he lacked Spiritual Qi.
"There are still some Spiritual Stones in the Zhuang Family's vault. However, this is not the time to take from them yet."
"I wonder if there are any Spiritual Stones in the national vault of Japan. I should deal with all the available matters first before traveling to Japan! Once the Little Fox is given the ten-thousand-year-old Ambergris, she will achieve True Nirvana cultivation and she will be forced to marry to Hikari Okazaka! I have to go and stop them!"
During the incident in Paradise Island, Chen Xiaobei managed to get to know the secret of Demonic Fox. The reason why she said yes to the wedding was that she thought that Hikari Okazaka would be able to avenge her family. Unfortunately, Hikari Okazaka was not as powerful as she thought he would be.
"I will be the one that helps my Little Fox avenge her family! She didn't need to sell her body to him and marry to that useless Hikari Okazaka! Someday, I will definitely crush Japan!" said Chen Xiaobei in a determined manner.
"After all, Spiritual Qi is still a problem for me! Without Spiritual Qi, my combat power will never increase! And I will not be able to borrow power from Witch Dragon Blood and activate my Spiritual Items! In other words, the things that I will be able to do in Japan will be very limited…"
"I have to figure out some way to look for more Spiritual Qi for myself! Even if I fail to look for more Spiritual Qi, I will have to come up with something to increase my combat power! I cannot afford to waste any more time!"
Ding!
Just when Chen Xiaobei was trying to figure out a plan, his cell phone buzzed.
Taiyin True Deity: Brother Xiaobei! Thank you so much for your tiramisu! I have something that I had to deal with on the eve of the Lunar New Year. That was why I didn't reply your message. I know today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, let me wish you a Happy New Year! I hope it's not too late to wish you!
Chen Xiaobei: It's never too late! We are now family. Don't have to mind all these small details!
Taiyin True Deity: The tiramisu that you sent to me is too damn delicious! And I heard this is a delicacy! Deities in heaven even fight for this tiramisu! I also get to know that deities are willing to pay a high price to buy it from you!
Chen Xiaobei: Damn! I didn't know that the tiramisu is so popular among the deities!
Taiyin True Deity: It definitely caused a great stir in the heaven! And you just sent me fifty! I don't know how can I repay you for that?!
Chen Xiaobei: You are most welcome! To me, it's just a small matter. Don't mention it.
Taiyin True Deity: No way! I have to repay you no matter what! During the last two days when I was away on business, I came across something really special! It can be used without Dao Path and Spiritual Qi! I think it really suits you!
Ding!
[Congratulation! You have snatched a Red Envelope from Taiyin True Deity! You have received a pair of Yin Yang Soul Linking Hexworms. It has been stored inside your treasure chest!]
Taiyin True Deity: Right! This type of hexworm is really interesting! You can plant the Yin Hexworm inside your Spiritual Beast. After that, you have to plant the Yang Hexworm inside your body! From there you will be able to borrow their talent and magical power!
Chen Xiaobei: Borrow their talent and magical power?! Damn! This is interesting! I have three Spiritual Beasts with me! And their talents are extremely powerful! My combat power will be increased tremendously if I can make use of their talent!
Taiyin True Deity: I'm glad that you like it!
Chen Xiaobei: I love it! This is exactly the thing that I need right now!
Taiyin True Deity: Haha! Talk soon! You should go and try it out first!
Chen Xiaobei: Alright! We shall talk soon!
After putting away the cell phone, Chen Xiaobei took out the hexworms that he just received from his Infinite Space Ring.
The white one was the Yang Hexworm and the black one was the Yin Hexworm.
The size of their bodies was as small as sesame. Others would think that they were just common rice worms.
"It's kind of late now. I'm pretty sure Xiaobei and Sirius are asleep now! Since it can work on any Spiritual Beast, I should try it on my golden cicada first!"
"Xiao'er come out!"
"Bro Bei… Why did you summon me at this hour? Is there something nice for me to eat?"
Xiao'er climbed out from Chen Xiaobei's pocket and asked in anticipation.
"I have something to put in your mouth but it's not for eating!"
Smiling at Xiao'er, Chen Xiaobei then passed the hexworm to it.
"Bro Bei… You…You want to plant a hexworm in my body?" asked Xiao'er in astonishment.
"Why do you look so shocked?! You should know that this hexworm will not cause any harm to you since you know what type it is!"
"Ugh… I know that it would cause no harm to my body! As one of the powerful insects in the Void Land, I will never allow this lowly hexworm to get into my body!" said Xiao'er gloomily.
"Stop being so prideful! You are now my Spiritual Beast! You have to listen to me even though you are a king! Don't worry! I just want to test its effect. I will take it out from you immediately after I have a taste of it! Other than that, I know you miss the Phoenix Rune Enigmatic Silver a lot. I will let you have a taste of it after I'm done with my testing!"
"Phoenix Rune Enigmatic Silver? Okay! Okay! Okay! I want to eat… I want to eat…"
Knowing that Chen Xiaobei was going to feed it with Phoenix Rune Enigmatic Silver later, Xiao'er was elated. To it, food was everything. If a portion of his favorite food could not satisfy its needs, all the person needs to do is give it double portion.
"Now. Let me feed you the hexworm."
Chen Xiaobei then delivered the hexworm to Xiao'er. Without any hesitation, Xiao'er consumed the hexworm. On the other hand, Chen Xiaobei did the same as well.
*Buzz*
A spiritual connection buzzed in Chen Xiaobei's mind. With that, the Yin Yang Soul Linking Hexworm had successfully rooted in Xiao'er body. Immediately, Chen Xiaobei began to pay close attention to the spiritual signal that he received in his mind.
"Yin Yang! Soul link!"
After a loud shout, Chen Xiaobei had managed to trigger the spiritual ability of Yin Yang Soul Linking Hexworm.
"Damn! So… This is Xiao'er's ability? This is so embarrassing…"
At that moment, Chen Xiaobei could feel that his teeth, stomach, and intestine were going through a series of changes. The ability Blackhole Stomach was activated. A young Twelve Wings Golden Cicada could literally consume everything within three realms. And that was Xiao'er ability.
"I should go and look for Xiaobei and Sirius to do the experiment… The most useful thing that Xiao'er can do is to eat away a lock… There is no way that I will go and eat the entire Zhuang Family's vault."
Chen Xiaobei felt embarrassed imagining himself eating a giant steel door.
"I should try eating the Phoenix Rune Enigmatic Silver! Since my stomach has gone through changes, I might be able to digest and absorb it into my body! Let me eat it now!"
With his sheer will, a square metal box with a hole on top of it was summoned in front of Chen Xiaobei. This metal box was acquired by Chen Xiaobei during the auction that was being held at Paradise Island. All 2,000 Spiritual Stones inside it were gone but the box itself was actually an extremely valuable item. The previous owner of the box had tried using explosives and acid to break open the box but the owner still failed to do any damage to the box.
One could imagine the box was extremely tough. If it was not for Xiao'er, Chen Xiaobei would not be able to unlock the box. When Xiao'er ate the box, it told him that the metal that used to make the metal was called Phoenix Rune Enigmatic Silver. It could be considered as one of the rarest material on earth!
"Oh right. Let me have a taste of it first!"
Upon calming himself down, he forced himself to move his mouth closer to the box and took a bite of it.
*Klak!*
Chen Xiaobei took a bite of that incredibly durable box.
"What the f*ck!"
Both of Chen Xiaobei's eyes lit up and started to chew on it.
"What the actual f*ck?! This is so damn delicious! No wonder Xiao'er is so ecstatic when it heard about Phoenix Rune Enigmatic Silver!"
"It's too delicious! It's so yummy!"
Chen Xiaobei now looked like one of those deities that first tasted spicy sticks. To him, this metal box was one of the most delicious delicacies on earth! He could not stop once he started to munch on it.
*Klak*
*Crunch*
*Crunch*
Soon, the entire metal box was left with a small piece of it. If he did not promise Xiao'er that he was going to give him some Phoenix Rune Enigmatic Silver, Chen Xiaobei would definitely consume the whole box all for himself.
"Damn! This is so delicious! I just can't get enough of it! This is awesome! I feel like all the food that I ate before are just trash! Is it because this metal actually tastes delicious or is it because the changes that my tongue has gone through?" Chen Xiaobei pondered.
"And I'm surprised that my stomach did not explode! I'm pretty sure this is the special ability belongs to Xiao'er! This is amazing! Now, I can feel that my stomach is so warm. I'm curious what will happen to my body! As the saying goes, whatever that you eat will eventually nourish your body. I wonder if my body will become harder after consuming such a large amount of metal."
Seeing that there were no changes happen to his body, Chen Xiaobei started to feel sleepy."
"Anyway. It's actually quite late. I should go and sleep first."
Immediately, Chen Xiaobei lied on the bed and fell asleep – just like what Xiao'er did after having a meal.
During the second morning.
*Munch*
*Munch*
Chen Xiaobei opened up his eyes slowly when he heard a loud munching sound. Look at the direction of where the sound came from, Chen Xiaobei saw that Xiao'er was munching on the Phoenix Rune Enigmatic Silver that he left for it yesterday. Last night, it looked like it was completely deflated after Chen Xiaobei borrowed his special ability from it. Now, its regained its energy and the hunger is back!
"Special ability is gone? My stomach…"
Taken aback, Chen Xiaobei was afraid that his stomach would explode after the special ability is gone.
*Gulp*
Seemingly, the worry that he had was pointless. Not only his stomach was fine, but he could also felt really hungry.
"Damn! Does that mean I'm affected by Xiao'er? I feel like eating again when I wake up… No way! I will not let myself to turn into a big fat ball!"
Shaking his head, Chen Xiaobei was trying to shake away the hunger that he was feeling.
"Bro Bei! You are finally awake!"
Xiao'er looked at Chen Xiaobei and asked, "How do you feel? How much of your health increased?"
"Health? Increase?"
Immediately, he activated his Netherspirit Battlescouter to check on himself.
Ding!
[Cultivation: Early phase of True Nirvana stage. Health: …]
Ding!
[Cultivation: Early phase of True Nirvana Stage. Health: 34,000. Combat power: 30,000!]
"What the f*ck?! My health just increased by 1,000 overnight!"
Feeling excited, Chen Xiaobei jumped up from his bed. The slap that he landed on Yue Junmo had cost all the Spiritual Qi that he possessed. After coming home, he was trying really hard to figure out a way to improve himself without the help of Spiritual Qi. To his surprise, his health received a huge boost after consuming the metal box.
Now, Chen Xiaobei's priority was actually increase his health as soon as possible. With the help of Primordial Witch King Combat Enhancement Training Manual, increasing his health was equivalent to increasing his combat power. Though Chen Xiaobei's actually combat power was 30,000, he could actually boost it to 34,000!
"What the hell… Am I dreaming?"
Chen Xiaobei could not help but pinch his arm. Felt a sharp pain, Chen Xiaobei knew that it was not a dream.
"Damn son! This ain't a dream! Everything is real! Without using a single Spiritual Stone and spending an extensive amount of time on training, I manage to increase my health by 1,000! This is freaking awesome! Ahahah!"
In other words, Chen Xiaobei was rewarded with more power without doing any hard work. Generally speaking, it was not a good thing since everyone in this world were required to put in a certain amount of effort to get the things that they desired. However, this was actually the best thing that could ever happen to an elite in Jianghu. Knowing that the path of becoming more powerful was like climbing the stairway to heaven. Like playing an online game, the higher your level was the more experience points you need to gather to proceed to the next level.
In the very beginning, one Spiritual Stone could provide him with 100 points of health. Considering that Chen Xiaobei had already achieved True Nirvana Cultivation, 1 Spiritual Stone could only boost his health by 33 points. In other words, he would need around 300 Spiritual Stones to gain a 1,000 points of health!
Without the help of Emperor Health Ultimate Enhancement Skill, an ordinary elite still need to spend around ten years of his time to increase 1,000 points to his health even though he had 300 Spiritual Stones with him. Fortunately for Chen Xiaobei, he managed to save ten years of his lifetime to gain the result that he desired.
"Well, I thought there is no free lunch in this world. But I think I just debunked the myth! Hahaha…"
Upon calming himself down after basking himself in joy, Chen Xiaobei went and asked Xiao'er about his ability that he borrowed from him.
"Xiao'er! What is going on in my body?"
"That's my special ability! I can consume everything within these three realms! All the things that I consume will eventually turn into nutrients for my body to absorb!"
"Damn! Now I finally know that your special ability is the best among all! I don't even need to train myself anymore if I can borrow your special ability all the time! All I need to do is eat and sleep. After some time, I will become the most powerful person on this earth!"
"I'm afraid that is not going to work! The nutrient that you gain has everything to do with the quality of the food! For example, Phoenix Rune Enigmatic Silver is a very rare metal on this earth! They are as rare as the Spiritual Items that you possess! That's why you could gain a huge boost to your health after you consume it last night! However, you won't be able to feel the difference that your body had gone through if you only consume normal metal!"
Feeling disappointed, it was as if Xiao'er just doused Chen Xiaobei's inner fire with ice-cold water.
"In other words, I will have to look for some of the rarest material on earth to give me health a great boost?"
"You are right! It will be best for you to consume Spiritual Item instead! The better the quality the greater the boost!"
"Ugh… If that's the case, I should wait till the right time… It's not that easy to look for all those rare material after all…" said Chen Xiaobei in disappointment.
Thinking about becoming powerful without putting effort into was just a dream to him. It's still better for him to look for more Spiritual Qi to make himself become more powerful.
*Ring*
Suddenly, Chen Xiaobei's cell phone rang. Looking at the screen, Chen Xiaobei was surprised that his lucky goddess called him. The lady that was given this title was none other than Liu Xuanxin – the one that brought great luck to Chen Xiaobei she slapped him in the face.
*Cough*
*Cough*
After clearing his throat and adjusting his mood, Chen Xiaobei picked up the call.
"Hell? My lucky goddess. Why are you calling me at this hour?"
"Stop flirting with me! Something serious happened!" said Liu Xuanxin in a nervous manner.
"What happened? Calm down and tell me everything."
"I used to have a servant that followed me everywhere I go! She's still in Xuanjian Faction. Recently, she saw that a group of Blood Descendants just move into Xuanjian Faction. And she heard that they are planning to work together with Liu Xiyuan to capture you!"
"Okay. Thank you so much for the warning. Don't worry! I know how to deal with them!"
Earlier, Chen Xiaobei had already known that they were going to go after him when he entered the vault of the Zhuang Family. That was why he did not feel surprised when he heard the thing that Liu Xuanxin just told him.
"Alright! Glad to know that you are well prepared! Remember! At a critical period like this, try to stay in the city! Do not travel to the suburbs! Do not expose yourself to them! I still have things that I need to deal with! Talk soon!"
"Hold on! Why the rush? Is there something else you want to tell me?"
"Qiao'er risked her life to call me and tell me about it! And someone found that she just betrayed the faction! I have to go and rescue her! I'm gonna hang up now! Take care!"
"F*ck! The little lady just risked her life to warn me about it! I can't just stay here! I have to go and save her as well!"
Immediately, Chen Xiaobei put on his clothes and rushed out from his faction. It was early in the morning, Xiaobai and Sirius were still sleeping – the two of them were carried by Chen Xiaobei with his both hands.
"Erm… What the hell! Why are we high in the sky?"
When they woke up, they realized that they had been moved to the Somersault Cloud.
"I wonder if there are any items in heavenly realm that is similar to a Pokeball! I feel so weird for hugging the two of you in my arms!"
Chen Xiaobei was thinking to head to the group to ask about it later.
At Xuanjian Faction.
A gentle silhouette was dashing around the place like the wind. Clearly, this person was very familiar with Xuanjian Faction as she knew how to avoid all the guards wherever she went. Within a short moment, she managed to travel to where Xuanjian Faction kept their prisoners.
"Who's that?
There was a disciple of Xuanjian Faction guarding at the prison. Immediately, the guard found out that there was a shadow approaching the prison.
"My lady! Why are you here…"
The moment the guard recognized the intruder, a hard hit landed on his neck. Clearly, the intruder had no intention to kill anyone. She just wanted the guard to stay unconscious when she rescued Qiao'er. This intruder was none other than Liu Xuanxin! Walking into the deeper part of the prison, Liu Xuanxin found the person that she wanted to rescue at one of the cleaner cells. Qiao'er was sitting down on the floor and hugging her legs with her head bowed.
Due to fear, she did not dare to look around. The moment she saw that Qiao'er was in such terrible circumstance, Liu Xuanxin could not help but start to channel her True Kang within her body.
*Swoosh*
A slash landed on the cell and the iron bars were cut in half.
"Qiao'er! Are you okay?!"
Immediately, Liu Xuanxin ran into the cell and squatted beside Qiao'er.
"My lady! Why are you here…"
*Sob*
Initially, Qiao'er thought that she could hold on to her tears. The moment she saw Liu Xuanxin walked into the cell, she started to cry like there was no tomorrow. Seeing that drops and drops of tears were flowing down from her face, Liu Xuanxin felt sad as well.
"Alright. Alright. How old are you. Look at you. You are going to drown in all those tears that came out from your eyes! I'm here right now! Let me bring you away from this place!"
Liu Xuanxin then brought her closer to her embrace and started to stroke her back gently.
"My lady… Qiao'er cannot leave this place right now…"
*Sob…*
"Why? What's wrong? What are you planning to do?"
Taken aback, Liu Xuanxin suddenly frowned while waiting for Qiao'er to answer her. Immediately, she channeled her snow-white True Kang to her palm and prepared to land a destructive slap on Qiao'er face.
*Swoosh*
"Why would you do that to me? You are one of the people that I trust the most!"
Without a doubt, Qiao'er would definitely be destroyed if Liu Xuanxin decided to use all her 45,000 combat power to slap her. In the end, Liu Xuanxin still decided not to slap Qiao'er. Filled with anger, Liu Xuanxin slowly put down her hand. Seemingly, Qiao'er pricked Liu Xuanxin with a needle when she went and hugged her just now. And the needle was soaked in poison previously.
Although it was not deadly, it was a type of poison that could cause instant paralysis on the victim.
*Sob…*
*Sob…*
*Sob…*
"It's all my fault! I'm really sorry…"
It was hard for Liu Xuanxin to imagine that the girl that grew up together with her would betray her when she came to her rescue. Seeing that she was crying non-stop, Liu Xuanxin knew that she was forced to do so.
"What is going on? Just tell me honestly… I will not blame you…"
"My lady… This is the evil plan that Liu Xiyuan, Blood Descendants, and Green Town Faction come up together not too long ago! They wanted me to inform you about it to lure you here!" said Qiao'er.
"So, their purpose is not to capture Chen Xiaobei? They want to capture me instead?"
Frowning, Liu Xuanxin was trying her best to stop the poison from spreading to her entire body. Still, she knew that her body would not be able to hold on to it any longer.
"No. They want to kill Chen Xiaobei as well! With you as the hostage, they believe that Chen Xiaobei will surrender to them!"
"What an evil plan!"
Her eyes blazed with wrath. Not only did they plan to kill her, but they also wanted to kill Chen Xiaobei as well.
"I'm so sorry… Qiao'er just did something really bad to you… I'm willing to become your slave in my next life. I will make sure that I will work until my sins are redeemed!"
Immediately, Qiao'er started to cry again. Seemingly, she felt really bad for betraying Liu Xuanxin.
"After hearing your confession, I knew that our sisterhood still exists! Tell me now. Why would you agree to work together with them? I know that you are forced to do so!"
"Yes… You are right… I'm forced to do so… My lady… Do you still remember my full name?"
"Yes. I still remember… Your full name is Huo Qiaoqiao. When we adopted you from the orphanage, we saw that your full name was being engraved on the jade pieces that you were wearing."
"Yes… Not too long after that, Liu Xiyuan managed to find my blood brother and my parents! That's why I did not dare to disobey Liu Xiyuan!"
*Sob…*
*Sob…*
"I see now… Qiao'er! You did nothing wrong! Don't cry anymore… I don't blame you for doing this to me… Manage to reunite with your family is a good thing. You are now better than me! Look at me! I don't even have any family members anymore!"
"My lady… It's all my fault…"
"Alright… Your mission is done… I don't think Liu Xiyuan will do anything bad to your family. However, I must leave this place as soon as possible! No matter what, I will not let them use me to threaten Chen Xiaobei!"
Liu Xuanxin then mustered the last of her strength and ran out of the prison. As she had always liked Chen Xiaobei, she would never allow him to fall into a life-threatening situation. On one hand, she was trying to use her True Qi to suppress the poison and on the other, she was using her physical strength to run as fast as possible. Thankfully, the enemies had not found that she was being affected by the poison. Considering that she was pretty familiar with the layout of Xuanjian Faction, she soon managed to escape into the woods near the faction.
"Shit!"
Just when Liu Xuanxin thought she could let out a breath of relief, despair was presented in front of her.
"Ms. Liu! We have been waiting for you for a long time!"
There were around 500 people standing in front of her and half of them were European. Recalling what Qiao'er had just told her, she knew that all of them were Blood Descendants. And the other half were Chinese. Judging from their similar attire, she could guess that they were all from the same faction.
Coincidently, Liu Xuanxin got to know that the attire belonged to Green Town Faction! In front of the 500 people, there were three people standing there. Judging from their looks, they were definitely no ordinary individuals.
The three of them were standing together. Seemingly, their cultivation were on the same level as well. The man that stood in the middle looked like he was in his thirties. He too was wearing Green Town Faction's attire. However, his attire was far more exquisite than the rest of the disciples. One could see that his rank in the faction was definitely higher than the rest of them.
The one that stood on his left side was a middle-aged Blood Descendant. Both of his eyes were red. He exuded a creepy feeling from his body. Lastly, the one that stood on the right was younger than the middle and left one. Judging from his look, he looked like he was around 28 or 29 years old. He was at least two meters tall and was muscular as well. From far, he looked like a sturdy tower. Immense pressure emanated from him.
"Xuanxin, do you still remember me?"
The man that stood in the middle walked out from the line and looked at Liu Xuanxin with his eyes squinted.
"Xia Dinxi! Of course I remember you! You are one of the seven heroes of Green Town Faction! Amongst the seven of them, you rank seventh! I can still remember that you used to come to visit Xuanjian Faction frequently."
Seeing that she could not move forward or head back to Xuanjian Faction, all Liu Xuanxin could do was stood there and tried to regulate her True Qi to suppress the poison in her body. All these while, Green Town Faction always had a good relationship with Xuanjian Faction. That was why Liu Xuanxin recognized most of the high-ranked disciples in Green Town Faction.
"Hehe… I'm surprised that Lady Liu still remembers me! I will get to the point since the two of us have known each other for quite some time! I promise that I will not hurt you as long as you let us capture you! If not, don't blame me for not taking good care of you!"
"Do you really think that you can defeat me?"
"I have heard Faction Leader Liu told me that there is a special reason why you can improve yourself with such godly speed! I admit that there is no way I can defeat you if I go against you face to face! Heck! Not even all of us here can defeat you even if we attack you at the same time! Unfortunately, the poison called Bone Softening Powder was injected into your body! I know that you are using your True Qi to try to suppress it! Now, you are just a tiger without its fangs! It's actually not too hard to defeat you!" said Xia Dinxi with a smile on his face.
"Okay… Come and get me since you know that I'm affected by the poison! However, can you at least tell me what the hell is going on before you capture me? Why do you have to capture me?"
"I don't mind telling you at all! This man right here is Mr. Porter Gustav. Something important from their family is missing and Chen Xiaobei has it with him! Mr. Porter wants to capture Chen Xiaobei. That's why he went to look for Faction Leader Liu. Unfortunately, his injuries don't allow him to fight! On the other hand, the young master Liu Chunyi is not powerful enough to help him! Coincidentally, I was at Xuanjian Faction visiting Faction Leader Liu. After that, Mr. Porter offered something that I could never refuse. Without hesitation, I decide to help him to do whatever he wants!"
Upon hearing that, Porter Gustav put on a smile on his face. Clearly, he was grateful that Xia Dinxi was willing to help him.
"Hold on! Something is not right! Chen Xiaobei was wearing a mask when he caused a great stir at Xuanjian Faction! How did you guys know that he is related to me?"
"Hehe… About this! All thanks to your servant! She's the one that told us everything! You were at the opening ceremony of Bei Xuan Faction. When Chen Xiaobei was in danger, you were tempted to help him! Your servant was with you. She told us everything afterward! As for Mr. Porter. He went and look for the help of the CIA. They managed to find out that Chen Zhufeng is actually Chen Xiaobei!"
"You were sick and you don't leave the faction that often. In other words, your circle of friends is actually extremely small! With all that information with us, even a fool would know that the person that wore a mask on that day is Chen Xiaobei!"
"So, Qiao'er is the one that told them everything…" said Liu Xuanxin in a disappointed manner.
Finally, all the questions in her mind were answered. Through the information provided by Qiao'er, the enemies managed to deduce the relationship between herself and Chen Xiaobei. That why they decided to capture her first and draw him out.
"Hehehe… Are you feeling frustrated? Do you want to know why your best friend would betray you? This muscular person right here is known as the War Bear of Eastern Europe, Huo Yuanba! Using both of his fists, he managed to conquer Eastern Europe! And he is one of the candidates for the top three position in the upcoming martial arts competition!"
"Huo Yuanba? Huo?"
Taken aback, Liu Xuanxin finally realized the source of the problem.
"It seems like you have already managed to guess that he's actually your servant's blood brother! Initially, your servant is really loyal to you! No matter what she just refused to betray you! However, Faction Leader Liu managed to look for Huo Yuanba to deal with her! In the end, all the problems were solved! Sometimes, all you need is to get the right key to make things easier!"
Anger could be seen reflected from Huo Yuanba's eyes after hearing the thing that Xia Dinxi just said. Clearly, the enemies' evil plan infuriated him. However, he had to suppress his anger for the sake of his little sister.
"Xuanxin. That's all I want to say. Now, follow me back to the faction! Please don't put up a fight! As long as you work together with us to capture Chen Xiaobei, your servant will be able to reunite with her brother!"
Right after finished talking, Xia Dinxi swung his hand and two disciples behind him carried special made shackles and walked toward Liu Xuanxi. Clearly, they were going to put it on her.
"Lady Liu! Just let us put the shackles on you!" said the two disciples with perverted smiles on their faces.
The two of them kept on looking at Liu Xuanxin's voluptuous body. They even wanted to take this opportunity to touch her arms and hands when they put the shackles on her. She was the kind of woman that every man ever wanted in this world. Being able to land their hands on her was enough for them to show off to others.
"I…"
Left in a dilemma, Liu Xuanxin did not what to do anymore.
If she chose not to fight, the enemies would use her to threaten Chen Xiaobei.
However, if she chose to fight them – Qiao'er would never be able to reunite with her brother.
"Come on! Don't be shy!"
The two perverted men licked their lips and extended their hands toward Liu Xuanxin.
"Get lost!"
Suddenly, a man dashed toward Liu Xuanxin with lightning speed and sent the two men flying
"Why are you here?"
Upon recognizing the person, Liu Xuanxin immediately took out a white cloth to cover her face.
*Blarrgghh*
*Blarrgghh*
The two disciples that were sent flying ten meters coughed out a mouthful of warm blood and passed out immediately.
"So powerful… Is… Is that kid the faction leader of Bei Xuan Faction, Chen Zhufeng?"
"What's his cultivation? He moves so fast that I failed to check his cultivation!"
"He is actually quite powerful! He just defeated two of our faction members!"
"How old is he? How did he acquire such immense strength? His talent is really shocking!"
Considering that the people that joined the ancient faction had at least 10,000 combat power on them, all hundreds of faction members were taken aback when they witnessed their allies being defeated within seconds.
"Everyone! Shut up! Stop embarrassing yourself! That kid just achieved True Nirvana cultivation! No big deal about that! Chen Xiaobei! We were just thinking about capturing you! You are such an idiot for jumping right into our trap!" shouted Xia Dinxi.
Judging that he assumed that Chen Xiaobei had just achieved True Nirvana cultivation, it seemed like the two brothers from the Zhuang Family did not say a single word about him to them. Ignoring Xia Dinxi, Chen Xiaobei turned around and looked at Liu Xuanxin.
"I'm a fortune teller! After using my fingers to predict your fate, I got to know that you are in need of my help! That's why I came here!"
"You are flirting with me again! Go quickly! The enemies are too powerful for you to handle! There's no way that you can defeat him!"
"Look at this group of trash! I, alone can defeat all of them easily!" said Chen Xiaobei while shrugging.
Taken aback, Liu Xuanxin stared at Chen Xiaobei with her eyes wide open.
"Son of a bitch! How dare you look down on us?! I'm just going to leave you with two options! One, kneel down and beg for your life! Second, I will break your legs and you can stop dreaming of walking again!"
"Hmph! Can you please cut the crap! Please talk like a retard in front of me! I don't have time for this kind of shit! Do what you need to do! Just come and fight me!" said Chen Xiaobei in a domineering manner.
Immediately, Liu Xuanxin grabbed on tight to Chen Xiaobei's sleeve and warned him, "Xia Dinxi is one of the seven heroes of Green Town Faction! In other words, he inherits some of the secret martial arts from the faction leader! All seven of them are known as the future of Green Town Faction! You should not underestimate his true strength."
"Though Xia Dinxi is ranked seventh among the seven heroes, his combat power is still powerful enough to defeat all the elders at Xuanjian Faction easily! As for the faction leaders of random factions, they could only dream about defeating him!"
Feeling nervous, Liu Xuanxin was worried that Chen Xiaobai might do something stupid.
"I'm sorry to tell you that Bei Xuan Faction is no random faction! If I can defeat Liu Xiyuan, why should I afraid all of you guys?!"
'Defeated Liu Xiyuan?'
Liu Xuanxin was in shock when she recalled that Chen Xiaobei had retrieved a Tomahawk Missile from his sleeve. If he could do the same thing this time, defeating all those people that stood in his way was definitely not a problem.
"You still can take out missiles from your sleeve like you used to do?" asked Liu Xuanxin in a soft tone.
"Nope. Not anymore," said Chen Xiaobei while shrugging.
All his ammunition was used to destroy the carrier fleet that Damien led to destroy Paradise Island. He had to break into Japan's military base if he wanted to replenish his ammunition.
"How are you going to fight with them if you run out of ammunition?"
She knew how powerful Chen Xiaobei was after she landed a slap on him last time. To her, there was no way that he could defeat Xia Dinxi and the rest of them once the fight happened.
"Just sit there and watch me! I'm not dumb! Don't worry! I won't send myself to the grave!"
Smiling, Chen Xiaobei took the Seven Treasury Fragrant Pouch from his neck and handed it to Liu Xuanxin.
"Come and sniff my masculine smell. I promise you that it will clear out the poison from your system!"
"Masculine smell? You know no shame! I will not do it!"
Staring at Chen Xiaobei, Liu Xuanxin's face turned red immediately.
"Take it!"
Chen Xiaobei passed the Seven Treasury Fragrant Pouch to Liu Xuanxin forcefully and strode toward the enemies.
"Don't go…"
Initially, Liu Xuanxin wanted to stop Chen Xiaobei to fight with the enemies. However, her body was too weak for her to do so. Looking at Chen Xiaobei's back, Liu Xuanxin felt really touched. A young man that she liked was about to fight for her.
One man going against one hundred people!
Liu Xuanxin could not help but lift the pouch and took a sniff from it. Immediately, a medicinal smell traveled from her nostrils to her lungs. She could feel that she was slowly regaining her energy. Though it was slow, the effect was better than she expected.
"I can't believe that he has such magical item with him!"
Staring at Chen Xiaobei, Liu Xuanxin felt that he was hiding a huge secret.
"You alone going to fight with one of us? Or the entire group?"
At that moment, Chen Xiaobei had already marched to the middle of the battlefield and stared at all hundreds of them in a casual manner.
"Bastard! You have balls! Don't tell others that I'm about to bully you! Let's duel one-on-one!"
Xia Dinxin stared at Chen Xiaobei icily. He then swung his hand and said, "Yuanba. Go and have some fun with him! You and your sister will be allowed to reunite again if you can defeat him!"
"Okay."
Though Huo Yuanba was not happy with Xia Dinxin, he had no choice but to do what he told him to do. Being two meters tall with a muscular body, Huo Yuanba looked like a mobile mini mountain – putting fear into people around him.
Ding!
[Early phase of True Nirvana stage. Health: 33,000. Combat power: 33,000!]
With the help of Netherspirit Battlescouter, Chen Xiaobei got to know his cultivation. Earlier, Luo Puti had already mentioned to him that Tai Yitan, Wu Aofeng, and Huo Yuanba were the of the most talented Jianghu elites that were below thirty years old. The three of them had high hope that they could get into the top three in the martial arts competition.
"Actually, I don't really want to fight with you! If you are willing to surrender to me, I can promise you that I will deliver your sister to you, unharmed!"
"I know you say it out of good intentions. Unfortunately, I will not risk my sister's life no matter what!"
"You don't have to worry about your sister at all! As long as I'm still breathing and standing, Liu Xiyuan will definitely not hurt your sister!"
"If I'm not mistaken, I'm pretty sure Liu Xiyuan and Liu Chunyi are hiding somewhere and watching us! They are afraid of me! That's why they didn't dare to get involved in it!"
"Maybe you are right but I will not risk it! This fight is bound to happen no matter what!"
"I don't mind. If you insist to fight with me. Be my guest!"
At the far end of the battlefield on the branch of a lush ancient tree stood two figures, observing the skirmish before them.
Chen Xiaobei was right – these two were, in fact, Liu Xiyuan and Liu Chunyi.
This grandfather and grandson pair did not show up at the fight because one, they had made a pact with Zhuang Lao Taijun; and two, they were nervous about Chen Xiaobei's mysterious abilities and wit!
As long as they had this fear of Chen Xiaobei, they would not dare to go to the extreme. If not, Qiao'er would have been tortured by them.
"Grandpa, would you say that that kid is a demigod?"
Liu Chunyi narrowed his eyes.
"I don't think so," Liu Xiyuan shook his head and said, "But, that kid managed to take out a huge number of missiles from his sleeve! That was obvious the doing of a demigod… It is truly unbelievable!"
"You still can't tell?" Liu Chunyi sighed.
"No…" Liu Xiyuan said helplessly, "If I could, why would I be here swallowing my anger?"
"Hopefully this battle can help us draw a conclusive answer!"
The two of then focused all their attention to Chen XIaobei, unblinking.
Fear stemmed from uncertainty.
Peace eluded them every day they were not able to put their finger on Chen Xiaobei.
...….
"Mr. Chen, my combat power has reached 33,000. If you weaker than me, just go ahead and surrender."
"At the end of the day, it was us, the Huo Family, that has wronged you and Lady Liu! I sincerely do not want to hurt you again! But I have no choice!" Huo Yuanba lowered his voice, "That's why I hope that you will think about it, and not do anything rash! Otherwise I will show you no mercy!"
"Hehe." Chen Xiaobei smirked at this and said, "You think too highly of yourself. Come on. Bring it on! You cannot hurt me – you won't even be able to harm a hair on my head!"
"What the f*ck! This kid is so arrogant! He speaks to Huo Yuanba like he is nobody!"
"That's not savage! It's more like 'conceited'! Huo Yuanba is the well-known War Bear at Eastern Europe! His combat power is extremely high! I can still remember that he destroyed 1,000 Eastern Europe Mafia singlehandedly! It was huge news back then!"
"How old is this meathead Chen? Where did he get the balls to say something like that?
"Huo Yuanba was kind enough to give him a chance to surrender but he dismissed it so conceitedly! He must be so pissed!"
...
The crowd tattled amongst themselves, throwing sardonic looks at Chen Xiaobei.
'This fool has some balls to provoke Huo Yuanba! This will surely be the end of him!'
"Ha! We're in for a show!"
The corner of Xia Dinxi's lips curled into a sinister smile.
"We all know that this kid will suffer."
Potter laughed.
Their strengths were comparable to Huo Yuanba. But even if they were in Chen Xiaobei's shoes, they would not have dared make the comment about Huo Yuanba not being able to harm a hair on their bodies.
From what they see, Chen Xiaobei would be beaten up so badly he would be crying for his parents. Maybe even crippled for life.
"Mr. Chen, since you so confident, don't blame me later for being ruthless! To be honest, I hope that I would lose to you so that I would have to bear one less guilt later!" said Huo Yuanba in a displeased manner.
After all, back in Eastern Europe, whatever Huo Yuanba wanted, he would get it. Even the powerful big guys would not dare look down on him!
However, he truly hoped that Chen Xiaobei would beat him.
That way, he did not need to harm Chen Xiaobei and his enemies could never say that he never tried his best.
"It is clear that you are a loyal man! Don't worry, you may have been embarrassed but you don't have to feel guilty," Chen Xiaobei smiled and said, "because I will make sure you lose! And I will also rescue your sister!"
When he had finished talking, Chen Xiao strode toward Huo Yuanba!
"In that case I, Huo Yuanba, owe you two lives! From today onward till the rest of my life, I will follow you and I will be under your command!"
Huo Yuanba let out a deep growl and hurtled toward Chen Xiaobei!
*Whoosh*
Black and gray True Kang began to surround Huo Yuanba as he strode toward Chen Xiaobei. Like hard rock, the black and gray True Kang soon formed into a set of heavy armor. Right after that, a pair of giant war hammers appeared in Huo Yuanba's hands. Originally has a very strong physique. With this rock-like True Kang, he now looked like a mini mountain.
As he plunged forward like a tank, his magnificent force crushed everything that was in his path.
"Wow! How powerful! If I were to fight with Huo Yuanbam I would surely perish after the first move!" said Liu Chunyi, frowning with sweat on his forehead.
"Huo Yuanba is an extremely talented young man! Five years ago, he had already achieved True Nirvana cultivation! He has all the resources that he wants in Eastern Europe! Considering that his cultivation is improving all the time, it's totally normal that you can't defeat him!"
"So, this is the legendary Eastern Europe War Bear! So powerful! Mr. Porter. Do you think Chen Xiaobei can block his attack?" asked Xia Dinxi in a mocking manner.
"Judging from the current circumstance, there is no way that he can block his attack!"
Porter paused and said again, "I don't understand why that kid didn't channel True Kang to his body? Does he have a death wish?"
Xia Dinxi nodded with his brows knitted together. "I don't understand either, how can he act in such calmed manner when he knows he is facing a crazy War Bear?! What's his trump card?"
"Xiaobei! What are you doing? If you don't fight back, you will die!" Liu Xuanxin cried, agonized.
She had thought that Chen Xiaobei would give it all he got but she did not expect that he would treat this as a joke. Taking a slow walk in front of Huo Yuanba during a fight was no different than killing himself.
"Mr. Chen! You are too arrogant! Prepare to lose!!!"
Huo Yuanba let out a roar and landed his war hammers that were the size of water tanks on Chen Xiaobei's chest. An ordinary human being would have been killed instantly since his True Kang had already materialized.
Even though Chen Xiaobei had 34,000 health, he would be hurt badly if he did not use True Kang to protect himself.
*Boom!*
The moment the war hammers landed on Chen Xiaobei, everyone focused on him. At the same time, they were taken aback as well.
Huo Yuanba' fists did land on Chen Xiaobei's chest but not a single sound could be heard. And there was no trace of blood as well. Chen Xiaobei was still standing there, immovable.
"What… What the hell is going on?"
Everyone around them was taken aback. Baffled, they could not believe the thing that just happened in front of them.
"Oh god! It's just an afterimage! How is that even possible?"
At that moment, Huo Yuanba finally realized the root of the problem. His fist did not manage to land a single hit on Chen Xiaobei from the very beginning. Instead, he was hitting his afterimage all along.
*Swoosh*
*Swoosh*
*Swoosh*
At the same time, the sound of the wind blowing could be heard by everyone. Following that, six Chen Xiaobeis appeared around him. Judging from their physical looks, the afterimages had no difference from the real Chen Xiaobei. Filled with fear, everyone stood there like a statue. Initially, Xia Dinxi and Potter thought that Chen Xiaobei would not be able to take a hit from Huo Yuanba. Now, they were shocked beyond word.
"This… How did he do it?"
Liu Xuanxin was left baffled as well. Her wide-eyed look was adorable.
"Grandpa… Is that some kind of lost skill? It's so hard for me to believe that he can pull off such skill!" Liu Chunyi stuttered, gulping.
"That is not a lost skill! I don't think such a skill actually exists in our earthly realm! Only a demigod can achieve such extreme speed! No one else in this world can create multiple afterimages with only their speed! The thing is I don't think even demigod can create six afterimages at the same time! This is truly unbelievable!" said Liu Xiyuan grimly.
"Are you trying to say that the kid that stands in front of us is actually a demigod?!" asked Liu Chunyi with his pupils shrinking, filled with fear.
Liu Xiyuan was looking baffled when Liu Chunyi asked the question. Seemingly he was not too sure about it as well.
"Maximal Shadow! Shatter!"
Along with the loud shout, all six Chen Xioabei began to strike at Huo Yuanba from different directions.
"This…"
"Out of instinct, Huo Yuanba swung his fists at the two Chen Xiaobeis that were closest to him.
*Swoosh*
*Swoosh*
The moment Huo Yuanba's iron fists landed on the afterimages, they disappeared into the thin air.
"It's fake! Again!"
With sweat dripping down from his forehead, Huo Yuanba did not know how to deal with the rest of the four afterimages. It was hard for his brain to perceive which the real Chen Xiaobei was. Immediately, the rest of the four Chen Xiaobeis charged at him at the same time.
*Swoosh*
Left with no other option, Huo Yuanba had to channel all his remaining True Kang to his body to strengthen his armor. All he could hope right now was to block Chen Xiaobei's attack. Seconds later, the Chen Xiaobeis that came from right, left, and back were gone when they came in contact with Huo Yuanba's True Kang armor.
"The one that charges at me from the front is the real one!"
Huo Yuanba managed to locate the real Chen Xiaobei in split seconds. Unfortunately, Chen Xiaobei had already got too close for him to counter his attack. He could only use his True Kang armor to block his attack.
"The way you fight is really magical. Unfortunately, you are just trying to put on a fancy show for everyone! I don't think your attack is going to work on me! Without breaking my True Kang armor, there is no way that you can defeat me!"
Clearly, Huo Yuanba was extremely confident that his True Kang armor could block Chen Xiaobei's attack. That was because the element that he chose to train on was earth! Usually, those who trained the earth element would have a higher advantage when it came to defense.
"Is that right?"
"Speed has always been the key element to defeat someone! Speed is strength!"
*Boom!*
Like a cannon ball, Chen Xiaobei landed his destructive fist on Huo Yuanba's armor.
*Crack*
The sound of something cracking could be heard by everyone.
"How… How is that even possible… My True Kang is started to shatter… It's shattering…"
Seconds later, Huo Yuanba's True Kang armor was shattered into pieces. Immediately, his pupils were reduced to needlepoint and sweat started to drip down from his forehead as well. He had never dream that Chen Xiaobei's fist was actually powerful enough to destroy his True Kang armor.
*Huu…*
Again, Chen Xiaoei was preparing to throw another punch at Huo Yuanba. However, he chose to stop his fist two centimeters before it came in contact with his chest. Clearly, Chen Xiaobei had no intention of hurting him at all.
"What now? Are you going to surrender to me?" asked Chen Xiaobei with a smile on his face.
"I yield… I yield… You have defeated me!" said Huo Yuanba in a fearful tone.
Huo Yuanba would have been left crippled if Chen Xiaobei landed this attack on him. With this attack alone, Huo Yuanba had to admit that he could never afford to hurt Chen Xiaobei.
"This is truly unbelievable… How did that kid do it?" asked Xia Dinxin in astonishment.
"I can't figure it out as well… Logically speaking, only a person with a higher combat power can shatter Huo Yuanba's True Kang armor! From what we know, that kid just achieved True Nirvana cultivation not too long ago! How is it possible for him to possess such terrifying strength?!"
"Grandpa… I think that kid is the real deal… He really is a demigod!" said Liu Chunyi with sweat on his forehead, palms, and back.
"Err…"
Nodding, Liu Xiyuan did not want to admit the fact that Chen Xiaobei was a demigod but he had no other choice after he witnessed Chen Xiaobei's battle with Huo Yuanba.
"Chen Xiaobei… Who are you? Why did I fail to know you better after spending more and more time with you?" mumbled Liu Xuanxin.
The reason why Liu Xuanxin chose to cover her face whenever she saw Chen Xiaobei was because she wanted to understand Chen Xiaobei more before she revealed her true identity. However, she felt that she needed more time to get to know Chen Xiaobei after spending more time with him. To her, he was a mysterious man that was surrounded by multiple layers of mist. Every time when she unveiled a layer of him, there were a couple more layers of mist that awaited her.
"Can I ask you how you did that just now?"
Gulping, Huo Yuanba stopped channeling True Kang to his body and he had no intention to continue fighting Chen Xiaobei.
"I can tell you about it in future. Not now," said Chen Xiaobei while shrugging.
A mysterious aura was reflected from his eyes. This was after all an important secret. No one knew about it except for him and his three Spiritual Beasts!
Hundreds of meters away, inside the woods lied a big black wolf. Seemingly, it had just used up its energy. A golden beetle could be seen lying on top of its nose.
"Obsidian Gale Penumbra is awesome! It's so damn powerful! With only one single skill, Bro Bei manage to defeat the enemy with it! That's so cool!"
*Psst!*
"My Absolute Zero Zone is the best! Quickly! Plant the hexworm into my body! Use my skill to kill the enemies instead!" said the white cat that was on top of the big black wolf's head.
"Calm the f*ck down! And don't just stand there!"
Xia Dinxin let out a loud roar and the people that had yet to recover from their state of shock finally snapped back to reality.
"Though the skill of that kid is rather bizarre, I believe the more powerful the skill is the more resources needed to use it! According to my experience, there's no way that he can come up with similar skill again!"
"Come up with a formation quickly! Victory is just right in front of us!" shouted Xia Dinxi again after making a quick analysis. As one of the seven heroes of Green Town Faction, Xia Dinxi's experience was definitely more than other ordinary Jianghu elites. To be honest, his analysis was actually 100% correct. Obsidian Gale Penumbra is actually Sirius' talent and its trump card. Not only Chen Xiaobei would not be able to use anytime soon, but he had to actually wait for seven days before he could use it again.
Unless, he could provide Sirius with enough Spiritual Stones to recharge itself, if not the only option that he left was to wait for a week.
"That kid is not denying it! It seems like Master Xia is right about him!"
"Quick! Everyone! Come up with a formation! Time for us to defeat him! Victory is just lying in front of us!"
Everyone thought that Chen Xiaobei was out of trump cards and they would be able to claim the victory by acting fast. With a good amount of morale, all of them started to form a formation. All fifty disciples of Green Town Faction formed a sword formation – following the Divine Nirvana Green Hornet Formation.
On the other hand, all fifty Blood Descendants followed the pattern of the Star of David and formed a magic formation. These two formations were guided by Xia Dinxi and Potter and were slowly approaching Chen Xiaobei.
"Xiaobei! Retreat! This is the legendary Divine Nirvana Green Hornet Formation! That is the most lethal formation of Green Town Faction! Once the formation is complete, they could come up with destructive power that is far more powerful than Xia Dinxi!" said Liu Xuanxin.
"Mr. Chen! Don't fight this formation! I think you should just yield to them! If not the consequences are worse than you can ever imagine!" said Huo Yuanba.
"Grandpa, how powerful is this Divine Nirvana Green Hornet Formation? Why are Liu Xuanxin and Huo Yuanba so afraid?" asked Liu Chunyi in surprise.
"Xia Dinxi standing in the middle of the formation, surrounded by disciples that have 10,000 combat power each! Not even Liu Xuanxin can go against this formation! As for Huo Yuanba, it's simply impossible for him to defeat this formation!" said Liu Xiyuan with his eyes squinted.
"Not even the powerful Huo Yuanba can go against this formation?! I would be killed within seconds if I'm the one that stands in his place now!" said Liu Chunyi.
Nodding, Liu Xiyuan agreed with the thing that Liu Chunyi just said.
"How about the other formation?"
"That formation is called the David Star Blood Shield Formation! Once the Blood Shield is formed, even I have to come up with all my strength to break it!"
"What?! Come up with all the strength?! That defensive power is simply too powerful for one to handle!"
Outside the ancient faction world, Liu Chunyi was the elite that was closest to achieve Celestial cultivation! One could imagine the toughness of the Blood Shield if Liu Xiyuan had to come up with all his strength to break it.
"The sharpest spear… The toughest shield… If Chen Xiaobei somehow manages to break these two formations, Xuanjian Faction will never go against him no matter what!"
"Yes! Yes! Yes! We cannot afford to offend people like him…"
"Xiaobei! Didn't you hear what I just say? Retreat now! We still have enough time to flee!" said Liu Xuanxin in a nervous manner.
"Don't worry! I know how to deal with it!"
Filled with no fear, Chen Xiaobei put on a smile when he saw the two formations was closing on to him. Firstly, he still had his trump card with him. That was why he never wanted to run away. Secondly, he knew that Liu Xiyuan and Liu Chunyi were watching him. Running away would mean he was telling his enemies that he was not a demigod! In the end, he would have to face their relentless pursuit!
He did not need to run!
And he was not allowed to run as well!
The only thing that he could do right now was battle!
"Can you wait for me for half a minute?"
Suddenly, a white box and two golden headbands appeared in Chen Xiaobei's hand.
"That's the White Jade Box with a dragon print on it!"
Immediately, Liu Xuanxin recognized the box.
"Though this Spiritual Item is quite useful, he still has to wait for the enemies to walk into his trap for him to bind the enemies! How is it even possible to break the formation with it?!"
Feeling frustrated, Liu Xuanxin could not understand why Chen Xiaobei would take out the box now.
"What the hell is that kid trying to do?! He is going to come up with something! We have to attack him right now from both sides! There's no more time for us to think about it! As long as we manage to destroy his cultivation, victory will come to us!" said Xia Dinxi in a determined manner.
*Swoosh!!!*
Right after he finished talking, the Divine Nirvana Green Hornet Formation was activated.
50 disciples channeled their True Qi at the same time and their swords were elevated to the sky.
They then channeled their True Qi to their swords.
All 50 swords combined together to turn into a more powerful force.
At that moment, the entire sky was flooded with green swords.
"Alright! Let's attack from both sides!" shouted Potter.
*Swoosh*
Blood red True Qi could be seen exuding from all 50 Blood Descendants – like a blood river flowing into the Star of David. Right after that, the Blood Shield was lifted up on the right side of Chen Xiaobei. Its height was around ten meters. Now, the sky was colored in red and green – dominated by the Blood Descendants and the disciples of Green Town Faction.
Standing in the middle of these two formations, Chen Xiaobei looked like an ant.
His left side was Divine Nirvana Green Hornet Formation.
And on his right side was the indestructible David Star Blood Shield Formation!
Just like what Liu Xiyuan explained earlier, it was simply impossible for elites without Celestial cultivation to deal with these two formations.
"All done."
Still, Chen Xiaobei was not afraid of them. Slowly, Chen Xiaobei put back the golden headbands and the box into his Infinite Space Ring. At the same time, the two formations were about to squash him into a pile of minced meat within seconds. Everyone had their attention on Chen Xiaobei but none of them knew what he was going to do about it.
*Swoop*
Suddenly, a white ray shot down from the sky and blended into the green and red lights. No one noticed about it. The moment Chen Xiaobei saw the white light, he was filled with confidence again.
The entire sky was painted green and red.
*Shinnng*
*Shinnng*
*Shinnng*
*Shinnng*
Fifty green swords soared in the sky at lightning speed. Meanwhile, Xia Dinxi was standing in the middle of the formation and using his True Kang to control the swords. Having to utilize the advantage brought forth by the battle formation, Xia Dinxi wanted to channel more and more power into the fifty disciples around him and push their potential to the maximum.
*Buzz*
Rays and rays of crimson light were circling the giant shield – like a river of blood. Just like Xia Dinxi, Potter managed to utilize the formation with him standing in the middle to channel fifty Blood Descendants' True Qi to fortify the foundation of the giant shield.
*Rumble*
Two formations were moving closer and closer to Chen Xiaobei. Seemingly, Chen Xiaobei would be crushed to death if he did not do something about it.
"Xiaobei!"
"Mr. Chen!"
Liu Xuanxin and Huo Yuanba could not help but let out a scream of despair.
"If that kid manages to survive the attack from these two formations, he is truly a deity!"
With their eyes wide open, Liu Xiyuan and Liu Chunyi would know whether Chen Xiaobei was the real deal through this battle.
"Son of a bitch! I will change my surname to yours if you manage to survive from this battle! Hahaha…"
Xia Dinxi let out a loud laugh. It was as if he had seen the victory being placed in front of him.
"Great! I have mentioned earlier that speed is strength! With my lightning speed, these two formations are literally useless!"
"Is there something wrong with your brain?! Divine Nirvana Green Hornet Formation can cover up to twenty meters! On the other hand, the David Star Blood Shield is as wide as ten meters! You have nowhere to run even if you can move at lightning speed!" shouted Xia Dinxi in a furious manner.
"Bastard! Stop acting tough! We are attacking you from both sides! It's pointless for you to try to flee from us!" said Xia Dinxin in disdain.
"When I talk about speed. It doesn't mean that I can run extremely fast. I'm talking about the sudden slowdown of your formation!"
"Sudden slowdown? How is that even possible? Die now!"
Xia Dinxi and Potter shouted at the same time.
To them, all they needed was a few seconds to crush Chen Xiaobei to death.
"Absolute Zero Zone!"
Suddenly, Chen Xiaobei let out a loud shout. A domineering aura exuded right out from him. At the same time, the temperature in a five-meter-radius dropped instantly. At that moment, a layer of frost was formed on the trees, flowers, disciples of Green Town Faction, and Blood Descendants. One could see that the entire area was painted in white.
*Klak*
An icy footprint was formed whenever Chen Xiaobei landed his feet on the ground. One could imagine that the how terrifying was the cold breeze burst out from his body.
"Oh my god… What the hell is going on?"
Upon seeing that, everyone was taken aback. Some of them even suspected that they were just having a bad dream. The thing that they were about to witness was going to make them feel even more shock. All fifty long swords that were in the sky were slowed down greatly. At the same time, the giant shield was moving like a slug as well.
"What the f*ck… Why is our attack slowing down?"
"What on earth is going on? This is so weird… Is this some kind of supernatural event?
"This is unbelievable… Am I dreaming?"
Everyone was taken aback after seeing Chen Xiaobei used Absolute Zero Zone. It was as if space and time had paused. Normally, they would only see this kind of supernatural event from sci-fi movies. Most of them could not comprehend it when it happened in real life.
As for Liu Xuanxin and Huo Yuanba, the two of were just standing there – stunned. From far, Liu Chunyi almost fell down from the tree when he saw that Chen Xiaobei used only one single skill to stop two ultra-powerful formations.
"Celestial… That is a celestial event… That kid just uses his sheer will to trigger a celestial event! He is a real demigod! Quick… Go back to the faction and bring Huo Qiaoqiao here! Please be gentle!"
"Bring her here? Are you trying to say that everything is now set in stone?" asked Liu Chunyi in a fearful manner.
"Cut the crap! A demigod is just standing right in front of us! There is nothing we can do anymore! Quick! Go now!"
"Yes…"
"Cold! It's freezing here!"
"Si… I can feel that ice is starting to form on my body!"
"Could it be our slowdown has everything to do with the drop in temperature? What kind of monster is he?"
At the same time, the voices of agony could be heard from the enemies. Absolute Zero Zone did more than place a layer of frost on its enemies. Soon, the extreme coldness would completely take over their bodies. Though their bodies were actually quite strong, they would turn into ice if they did not get out from the zone as soon as possible.
"Bastard! What did you just do? Stop it immediately!" screamed Potter in a hysterical manner.
"Mr. Porter! Let's act fast! Two of us should attack him at the same time and stop his spell! If not, all of us here will be killed by this extreme coldness!" said Xia Dinxi in a determined manner.
"Alright!"
Potter agreed to Xia Dinxi's suggestion without any hesitation. The two of them had True Kang to protect their bodies. That was why the extreme coldness had not affected them so far. Since they were not affected by the extreme coldness, their speed would not be slow down. In the blink of an eye, they jumped at Chen Xiaobei from the left and right.
"Hehe… It seems like the two of you really wanted to get rid of the extreme coldness… I'm going to be the good guy this time and grant your wish!"
Suddenly, an evil smile could be seen on Chen Xiaobei's face.
*Swoosh*
*Swoosh*
Xia Dinxi and Potter came up with all their strength to dash to Chen Xiaobei to attack him. Still, Chen Xiaobei had no intention of dodging their attack.
*Pow!*
*Pow!*
Immediately, Chen Xiaobei lifted his fists to go against Xia Dinxi and Potter. With the protection from his invisible True Kang, his fists would be saved from their devastating blows. Facing two extreme forces, Chen Xiaobei was sent flying. In this battle, being sent away by their attack was actually Chen Xiaobei's desired outcome. Taking a step back would mean victory to him.
*Swoosh*
In front of Chen Xiaobei stood Xia Dinxi and Potter. At his back were two humungous formations. The moment their attack landed on Chen Xiaobei, he was sent flying away from the formations along with his Absolute Zero Zone. Imagine a spring placed between two palms, the closer the palms – more force would be generated. When the spring disappeared, something exciting would bound to happen.
"Shit! This is bad…"
Seemingly, Xia Dinxi and Potter had realized that they had made a huge mistake.
*Boom!*
Seconds later, the two formations clashed into each other! All the force that the two formations accumulated when they were frozen were released all at once! One could imagine that the two formations would definitely not end well.
The end result of the sharpest spear came in contact with the toughest shield was two sides would be destroyed instantly. All the swords penetrated the Blood Shield and decapitated most of the Blood Descendants. At the same time, the Blood Shield was like a tank – crushing all the people that stood in front of it. Seconds later, the two ultimate formations were destroyed completely. Hundreds of them were either dead or injured badly.
Xia Dinxi and Potter were like two flies clashed into each other by the force of two palms. Initially, they wanted to do the same thing to Chen Xiaobei. To their surprise, the two of them became the victims of their own strategy. Though they were protected by True Kang armor, the immense force from two formations clashed into each other managed to shatter their protection.
Liu Xiyuan had mentioned earlier that not even a powerful elite like Huo Yuanba would be able to withstand a single hit from the Divine Nirvana Green Hornet Formation. Considering that Xia Dinxi's and Potter's combat power were similar to Huo Yuanba's, their bodies had suffered a great deal of damage when the two formations clashed into each other.
"How did that happen… Why am I so pathetic?"
It looked like Xia Dinxi had just hit by a train. His nose and face were bruised, mouth was spitting fresh blood, and his right leg was broken. He could not even muster enough strength to stand up anymore.
"Ouch… Help… Help me… I don't want to die…"
There were around eight swords that penetrated Potter's body – including his arms and legs. Blood was pouring out from his body like there was no tomorrow.
"So… The two formations are finally destroyed…? Mr… Mr. Chen is a god!"
From afar, Huo Yuanba was left awestruck. All this while, he was always confident with his combat power. Clearly, he knew that not even he could destroy that two formations singlehandedly. The moment he witnessed Chen Xiaobei pretend that he was defeated by Xia Dinxi and Potter to destroy the formation to cause two formations clashed into each other, he was left in a state of extreme shock.
He even started to feel ashamed for humiliating Chen Xiaobei earlier. Now he felt like he was acting like a complete clown just now. After seeing Chen Xiaoebi's battle Xia Dinxin and Potter, he knew that he needed to start to respect Chen Xioabei. He respected him for his noble character. Not only did he not blame him for taunting him, he even showed him mercy while combating with him. The thing that he anticipated the most right now was to wait for Chen Xioaobei to save his sister. If Chen Xiaobei somehow managed to save his sister in the end, he would definitely not hesitate to trade his life for Chen Xiaobei's in the future.
"This guy… Who the hell is he? I would never believe that if he tells me that he is just an ordinary guy! Taking out missiles from his sleeve and triggering a celestial event with his sheer will are enough to prove that he is a deity! But, if he is a deity, how is it possible that he was sent flying when I slapped him?"
Feeling baffled, Liu Xuanxin had a desire to know Chen Xiaobei even more. Unconsciously, she realized that she was attracted to Chen Xiaobei's mysterious presence. She could not help but desired to have more intimate moments with Chen Xiaobei.
"Mr. Chen! I yield… I yield now… Feel free to leave…! You can walk away with Huo Yuanba and Huo Qiaoqiao!" said Xia Dinxi in a shaken voice.
At that moment, his battle intention was completely gone. He just wanted Chen Xiaobei to leave him alone as soon as possible.
"I can bring them away with me? Do I really need your permission to do it?! I'm Chen Zhufeng!" said Chen Xiaobei in an ice-cold voice while walking toward him.
"I…"
"No… You don't need my permission… Not at all… You can do whatever you want…! I will not say a word about it anymore!" said Xia Dinxi, gulped.
"Hehe… What if I say that I want to kill you?"
"No! You cannot kill me! I'm one of the seven heroes of Green Town Faction! My Sifu is the faction leader of Green Town Faction! You need to know that he is an elite with Celestial cultivation! Killing me is equivalent to bringing war to my faction!"
"You came up with an evil plan to threaten Huo siblings! I will kill you even if your Sifu is a deity in heaven!"
Glaring at him, Chen Xiaobei swung his right hand and a crimson ray flew past his neck! Without the protection of his True Kang, Xia Dinxi was rendered defenseless.
*Phissh!*
Seconds later, Xia Dinxi was decapitated and blood spurted out from his headless body.
*Shinng!*
Immediately, Chen Xiaobei ordered his Chaos Blood Sword to absorb his soul and blood essence. For now, he was not in need of merit points – that was he wanted to invest more power in his ace weapon. Needless to say, the soul and blood essences of the dead were being consumed by Chen Xiaobei's Chaos Blood Sword. There were around 500 souls and blood essences inside the Chaos Blood Sword now. Its combat power was equivalent to an elite with pinnacle phase of Celestial cultivation!
It could unleash a hit that was worth 50,000 combat power! At a critical moment, it could definitely worthy enough to serve as Chen Xiaobei's trump card. After that, Chen Xiaobei somehow decided not to kill Potter.
"Tell me! Why do the Blood Descendants want to capture me?" asked Chen Xiaobei while looking at him from higher ground.
"I… I can't tell… That is our family's secret! No matter what, I will not tell you about it!"
Although clearly in pain, Potter was determined that he would never tell Chen Xiaobei about it. He knew that he would be killed if he failed to safeguard the secret.
"Do you really think that I will not be able to guess it even if you refuse to tell me about it?"
Using his sheer will, Chen Xiaobei summoned a finger-sized hexagram ruby to his palm which looked exquisite.
"Star… Star of David! I can't believe you have it with you all this time! So, Damien was killed by you!"
Potter's pupils shrank, shocked by what he heard. The Star of David had always been the source of dark power for the Gustav Family. Through a secret technique, the appointed family member could insert this Star of David into the heart and inherit the dark power! This was the deepest secret of the Gustav Family. An outsider would know that the successor of the family was planted with Star of David even if they were killed during battle. Puzzled, he could not understand how Chen Xiaobei knew about this secret.
That was why Potter started to suspect that there was a mole in their family. The thing that he did not know was that Damien managed to bring out Chen Xiaobei's utmost fury – forcing him to walk at the edge of hell. In the end, Chen Xiaobei had crushed his heart and destroyed his body. Coincidentally, Chen Xiaobei had found out that there was a Star of David hidden in his heart.
"I'm not going to force you since you don't want to tell me about it!"
Chen Xiaobei lifted his hand and started to order his Chaos Blood Sword to absorb Potter's soul and blood essence. With eight swords penetrating in his body, the moment Chen Xiaobei started to drain his blood, his body quickly deteriorated.
"I will tell you… I will tell you everything! Please don't kill me!"
Assuming that there was a mole in the family, Potter knew that it was pointless for him to keep the secret anymore.
"So, you have come to your senses to tell me about it? Unfortunately, I don't want to hear about it anymore!"
Shrugging, Chen Xiaobei allowed his Chaos Blood Sword to consume his final drop of blood essence and harvest his soul right after that. Potter's body was left completely in a stiff position with his eyes wide open. It was as if he was staring at Chen Xiaobei vengefully. Actually, Chen Xiaobei did want to know the secret but he sensed that there were enemies getting closer to him. He would rather choose to give up on knowing the secret than letting his enemies heard about it.
"Show yourself!"
Chen Xiaobei glared at the woods that was located quite a distance from him.
"God Chen! Greetings!"
Liu Xiyuan and Liu Chunyi walked out from the woods with their bodies bowed.
"My lady! Brother!"
*Sob…*
Qiao'er was following right behind them when they walked out from the woods. The moment she saw Liu Xuanxin and Huo Yuanba, she could not help but start to cry out loud. Immediately, she went and apologized to Liu Xuanyi. Clearly, Liu Xuanxin would never blame her for it. Following by that, tears kept on coming out from her eyes when she started to talk to Huo Yuanba. It was no longer the tear of sadness! Those were the tears of happiness!
"You two little shits! Do you know that you have wronged me?!" Chen Xiaobei glared and asked them icily.
*Slap!*
*Slap!*
Without saying any words, the two of them kneeled down in front of Chen Xiaobei. Seeing that there were dead bodies everywhere around them, they knew that they would be killed by Chen Xiaobei if they did not do something about it.
"Forgive our stupidity! From the very beginning, the two of us showed no respect for you! Clearly, we have made a huge mistake! Please tell us more about how we offend you!"
Liu Xiyuan and Liu Chunyi gave Chen Xiaobei a proper kowtow. They did not even dare to lift up their heads and looked at Chen Xiaobei. Upon seeing that, Liu Xuanxin was left in shock. She had never seen that the faction leader of the most powerful faction in Jianghu and the martial arts prodigy kneel before others, yet now they did so in front of Chen Xiaobei like two humble dogs.
"Stop trying to act pathetic in front of me! You force Qiao'er and her brother to tell you more about me! After that, you even come up with an evil plan to try to kill me! How dare you tell me that the two of you are not involved in this matter?!"
*Si…*
Immediately, Liu Xiyuan and Liu Chunyi took in a deep breath. Knowing that they could not fool Chen Xiaobei, they quickly kowtowed toward Chen Xiaobnei to beg for his forgiveness.
"Mercy please! God Chen! Please spare our lives!"
"The mastermind behind it was killed by you not too long ago! The two of us are just accomplices! We did not lay our hands on Qiao'er. For this reason, please spare our lives…"
To them, Chen Xiaobei was no longer an ordinary human being! He was not a demigod. They knew that Chen Xiaobei could take away their lives anytime he wanted.
"Hmph! It's true that the two of you did not harm me or my friends! If Qiao'er was hurt, I would have decapitated the two of you right here right now!" said Chen Xiaobei in a domineering manner.
"Thank you God Chen for showing us mercy! Thank you for not killing us!"
Knowing that Chen Xiaobei was not going to kill them, Liu Xiyuan and Liu Chunyi started to thank Chen Xiaobei. From this moment onward, they would never know that he was not a demigod. In actuality, Chen Xiaobei was actually weaker than Liu Xiyuan. If Liu Xiyuan was bold enough to fight with Chen Xiaobei right here right now, he would have known that he was actually far more powerful than him. Unfortunately, that was just an 'if'.
Though Liu Xiyuan was extremely powerful, he cherished his life more than anything else in this world. He valued his position in the family and his cultivation! Without trying to fight Chen Xiaobei, he would never know his true strength.
"I can spare your life but there will be consequences!"
Chen Xiaobei then swung his hands and two golden circlets landed on their heads. During the battle just now, Chen Xiaobei took out these two golden circlets and the White Jade Box. He was actually trying to channel some Spiritual Qi from the box to the circlets. Initially, Chen Xiaobei wanted to use these two golden circlets on Potter and Xia Dinxi. To his surprise, the two of them were defeated faster than he thought. In other words, these two golden circlets should be able to teach Liu Xiyuan and Liu Chunyi a good lesson.
"God Chen… What… What is this?"
The two of looked at each other in the eyes and stared at Chen Xiaobei in shock.
"Ng… Ma… Ne…"
Chen Xiaobei narrowed his eyes and started to chant the Tight-Circlet Spell.
"Ouch… Hurts! So painful! My head is going to explode!"
Suddenly, Liu Xiyuan and Liu Chunyi holding on to their heads and started to roll on the ground. The pain had caused them to sweat like there was no tomorrow.
