Martial Cultivator

Yan Ruoshui looked at that youth in black who was continuously walking towards her.
The anger in her eyes was unabated.

Up until now, she could not figure out why this youth was so brave, to actually dare attack and kill them, these qi refiners.

When had the Great Liang Dynasty ever been so unyielding when handling foreign land immortal cultivators, let alone an ordinary local warden like him?

”Don ’t you know our identities? ”

Yan Ruoshui stared at Chen Chao and said in a cold voice, ”We ’re qi refiners, immortal cultivators on top of mountains that you all have to look up to.
How dare you treat us like this?! ”

When Yan Ruoshui was speaking, that armored immortal behind her did not make any movements for a time.

Chen Chao frowned when he heard that.
Actually, he also did not really understand why this woman in front of him was so stupid.
Things had already developed to this point and she was still saying such things.

So what if qi refiner?

Since you want me dead, why couldn ’t I kill you?

Could it be that because of your qi refiner identity, I had to wait here for you to chop my head off?

Chen Chao shook his head.
What kind of lousy logic was this?

As for how the Great Liang Dynasty treated foreign land immortal cultivators, they were naturally courteous on the surface.
But in the dark, in places where sunlight could not shine, were there no foreign land cultivators who died within the Great Liang Dynasty ’s national borders?

”You ’re really too stupid. ”

If Yan Ruoshui was a little smarter, then the situation today would never have developed as it did.

But unfortunately, this woman who was called Fairy Yan was seriously too stupid.
She completely could not compare to Guo Xi in terms of cunningness.
And in terms of attitude when facing Chen Chao, she had a natural contempt that lingered incessantly.

Actually, this could not be blamed on her.
This was just the inevitable result of the disparity between the two.

She was originally not a truly smart person, but she also liked to play smart.

This meant that it was very hard for her to survive.

Chen Chao had already begun accumulating power.
Although Yan Ruoshui had expended a considerable amount of power, she was a peak second-realm qi refiner after all.
One could not let down their guard if they wanted to kill her.
They must go all out right at the start.
It was best to seriously wound her in one hit!

The saber in his hand was gripped harder.

Along with the last drop of fresh blood falling from the blade, Chen Chao moved.

He took a step out and still crashed towards that Yan Ruoshui who was virtually still somewhat absentminded with a decisive stance.

The toughest part about martial artists was their bodies.
Chen Chao ’s body toughness stood out among the rest.
Hence, getting up close had always been his best choice.

In a trace, only when she saw that the youth was almost arriving in front of her, did the fury in Yan Ruoshui ’s eyes turn into fright.

She sent that ribbon out, wanting to stop the speeding momentum of the other party.

The ribbon unfolded and blocked Chen Chao ’s path of advancement.
It also made it such that Yan Ruoshui could no longer see this youth in black.

A second later, a saber light flashed and that incomparably sharp blade slashed toward that ribbon.

The ribbon was cut from the middle.
The figure of that youth in black reappeared in front of Yan Ruoshui.

Yan Ruoshui was stunned.

That ribbon was woven with ice silk and was incomparably tough.
How could it be easily cut by that ordinary-looking broken saber?

Only at this point, did she suddenly remember that there was still an armored immortal behind her!

”Kill him for me! Tear his corpse to shreds! ”

She virtually screamed out madly.

The armored immortal moved its colossal body.
Raising his arm, he threw a punch!

Chen Chao narrowed his eyes and silently thought about two words.

Too late.

Fighting with the armored immortal was the worst situation to begin with.
Hence, that was why he would use words to trigger the woman in front of him, hoping that she would make mistakes in her panic.

And now, Yan Ruoshui really did not disappoint him.

He already drew close to Yan Ruoshui at this moment.
Slashing his saber at this South Heaven Sect ’s Fairy Yan, he completely ignored that armored immortal.

Yan Ruoshui ’s complexion turned ashen.
She actually had quite a number of means.
But her practical combat experience was significantly worse than the youth in front of her.
Coupled with the disparity of one realm, she actually had no way of dealing with it for a moment.

Chen Chao ’s broken saber already arrived in front of her chest.
The look in her eyes also finally completely turned into terror.

There was even a tiny hint of begging for mercy.

She was like a panicking bird, but not at all cute.

That expressionless youth did not have any reaction.
He just raised his arm and suddenly slashed downward.

From top to bottom!

The blade cut through Yan Ruoshui ’s clothes at first and continuously erupted with sparks.
But as it accelerated, the clothes were also ripped apart and the snow-white skin under the clothes was also sliced apart along with it.

Fresh blood spurted out.

Blood flowers bloomed!

Yan Ruoshui stared at her own chest.
That broken saber was currently buried in her chest.

Her internal organs had already been mangled in an instant by the youth in black in front of her.

Her life force faded away.

Unless she could find those few strains of spirit medicines that were rumored in the world, otherwise, she had absolutely no chance of survival.

Yan Ruoshui ’s water-like eyes looked at Chen Chao full of puzzlement.

She opened her mouth, fresh blood kept pouring from her lips, ”Why…
Why… ”

Chen Chao saw her puzzled expression and knew that she was not asking why she would die here, but why Chen Chao dared to kill her.

Too foolish.

All the way up till the moment she died, this South Heaven Sect ’s Fairy Yang was not willing to believe that a boorish martial artist whom she looked down on really dared to kill her.

She collapsed softly, her blood gradually cooling.

At the same time, the armored immortal whose punch had already arrived behind him also began to slowly turn into light particles, gradually disappearing.

If the host was gone, this Spirit Exorcism would also collapse on its own.

But just as Yan Ruoshui ’s life force completely terminated, a speck of light suddenly burst out of her glabella and headed towards the mining hole at an extremely fast speed.

Chen Chao slashed out backhandedly, but failed to hit that speck of light.

The light speck flashed away and thoroughly escaped far away.

Chen Chao furrowed his brows, his expression was ugly.

He had long known that immortal cultivators had a multitude of means.
But even if he was long prepared in his heart, he could not stop it too.

This was a predestined thing.

Chen Chao came to the cliff.
Spitting out a mouthful of turbid air, new qi gradually birthed.

He lowered his head and took a look at that abyss.

”They are all dead.
It ’s your turn. ”

Chen Chao looked at the abyss and spoke calmly.

……

……

”How did you know that I ’m still around? ”

A voice suddenly sounded out.
A figure slowly emerged from the abyss.

It was precisely Guo Xi who was previously slashed by Chen Chao before falling into the abyss.

He did not die.

It was just that both his hands were still covered in fresh blood.

He returned above the abyss anew.

He was currently sizing up this young martial artist in front of him with some curiosity, looking very interested.

Chen Chao gripped his saber and said calmly, ”You ’re much craftier than that woman.
You won ’t die so easily. ”

Yes, although Chen Chao previously saw when his old qi was being replaced with new and slashed him, entertaining the notion of killing Guo Xi here, everything went a little too smoothly.

Chen Chao had fought with too many cunning demons and understood something.

The smoother things were, the less simple they were.

Guo Xi could not help clapping his hands and said with some admiration, ”You ’re much smarter than these morons.
That b!tch was merely a caged sparrow raised in the sect.
But she felt that she was very clever and felt that no one knows about her ploys.
How ridiculous. ”

Everything along the way was all under Guo Xi ’s control, including the alliance between Yan Ruoshui and Chi Ganquan.

Including Chen Chao, it was all in his calculations.

In his calculations, he would seriously injure Chi Ganquan first.
This way, he could incite Chen Chao to attack.
He would then pretend to be killed by Chen Chao.
Then, he could let Chen Chao and Yan Ruoshui both be defeated and wounded.
In the end, he would reap the profits of the fisherman.

However, what he did not expect was that Chen Chao could really kill that South Heaven Sect wench and discern the matter of him playing possum.

Guo Xi stared at Chen Chao.
Narrowing his eyes, he said with a smile, ”I just didn ’t expect it.
Why are you, a measly little warden, already a Divine Trove martial artist at such a young age? ”

It was not that he did not believe that the Great Liang Dynasty had geniuses, but he had some doubts.
Since Chen Chao was a genius, why would he only be a measly warden?

A Divine Trove Realm at Chen Chao ’s age, it was extremely seldom seen even in foreign lands too.

Only those young geniuses who were heavily groomed by those major sects had such a cultivation realm.

Chen Chao did not speak.
He just looked at Guo Xi quietly.
At the same time, he slowly regulated the qi flow within his entire body.

”No matter what, that b!tch is marked as your kill now.
After I kill you, I don ’t have to think about how to give the South Heaven Sect the slip anymore as well.
Speaking of which, I still have to thank you. ”

Guo Xi smiled brightly, looking harmless to man and beast.
But his appearance made Chen Chao feel disgusted.

He was even more disgusting that the most disgusting demon he had ever encountered.

Chen Chao said calmly, ”I ’ll help you resolve this problem. ”

Guo Xi smiled and raised those two arms dripping with fresh blood.
Looking at the horrifying wounds on them, he said softly, ”A martial artist like you actually left wounds on my body.
Truly deserve death. ”

As he smiled, he raised his hand.

Countless streams of qi activity began pouring out of his body.

At the same time, there were also streams of earth-yellow aura that shot out of the abyss, gathering onto his body bit by bit.
His face revealed a rather wallowing expression, ”After killing you, I ’ll absorb this dragon vein and I ’ll immediately be able to step into the fourth-realm.
At that time, who would still say that I ’m inferior to others?! ”

Chen Chao looked at him and suddenly laughed, ”A pitiful creature. ”

These three words of his suddenly seemed to have stepped on the tail of the young man in front of him.
He suddenly raised his head and looked viciously at Chen Chao.

It was just that he only saw a figure that started barraging toward him.

A black shirt seemed to cover heaven and earth in an instant, making him feel that there was only pitch darkness before his eyes in an extremely short time.

Then, a dazzling saber light suddenly appeared.

That saber light arrived extremely fiercely.
Furthermore, it was extremely swift.
It already arrived in front of Guo Xi in a single instant.
Guo Xi was not the likes of Yan Ruoshui, he would not fold his hands and wait for death.
In just an extremely short time, his two hands formed seals, and mist condensed in front of him.
A barrier appeared.

He did not take that compass out right away.
Firstly, it was because the compass was already a little damaged in the previous fight with Yan Ruoshui.
Secondly, he totally did not feel that the killing power of this Divine Trove martial artist in front of him could be so powerful.

Having consecutively killed three people was merely because his scheme was intricate.

He merely got lucky.

Now, how could he possibly not be defeated when fighting with him who was similarly in the Divine Trove Realm?

But in the next second, the barrier condensed from mist was suddenly breached from within, being split into two halves.

The youth in black appeared in front of him.

Guo Xi furrowed his brows and reached out to draw water.
A long river suddenly emerged in midair and flooded toward Chen Chao.

The raging river water advanced mightily!

Chen Chao raised his eyebrow.
Immortal cultivators had an inexhaustible variety of moves, he could not understand all of them.
But, the path of a martial artist only put killing people in the first place.

Holding his saber with one hand, his other hand clenched tightly.
When he got close to that river, he smashed it hard!

There was a loud bang-

The enormous impact assaulted Chen Chao ’s body, putting him under tremendous pressure.

His black shirt fluttered, but his body was as firm as a rock.
It actually did not even sway for a moment.

”Break for me–! ”

Chen Chao shouted angrily and charged up power once more.
In an instant, he transferred the qi within his body onto that arm.
After blue veins popped out, he threw another punch!

A boundless qi flooded out!

Guo Xi suddenly lifted his head.

That long river was already crushed in an instant.
Chen Chao already arrived in front of him and slashed out again simply.

Guo Xi was very apprehensive of that broken saber.
He had already experienced the sharpness of that broken saber prior to this.

It could slice through the magic robe on his body without the slightest effort, leaving wounds on his body.

Under the heavens, all cultivators acknowledged that Sword Qi Mountain ’s swords were the sharpest things in the world.
Especially that hundred-year sword that only had one produced every hundred years, it was especially distinguished among them!

It was just that Sword Qi Mountain only forged swords.

Whose hands did this saber in front of him originate from?

Guo Xi turned sideways and dodged that slash.
He no longer hesitated and immediately took out that compass.
Even if it was a little damaged, he could no longer care.

He really did not expect that this young martial artist was actually so powerful!

But Guo Xi opened his eyes wide very soon.

When he took that compass out, before the bead in the center could erupt with light, it met with a stroke of saber light.

That broken saber appeared above the compass.

The youth in black who was holding the saber hacked down heavily!

Sparks flew everywhere!

Then cracks spread out everywhere.

A magic artifact gradually lost its spiritual energy.

”You deserve to die! ”

Guo Xi shouted angrily.
That compass was a treasure given to him by the sect.
It was extremely precious!

”You ’re the one who deserves death, pitiful creature. ”

Chen Chao did not stop at all after splitting that compass with a slash.
Instead, he threw a kick out and it just happened to land on Guo Xi.

He fell out several dozen feet, but he saw another stroke of saber light.

Guo Xi laughed coldly and was unmoved.

It was just that this time, that saber did not land on his body.

Chen Chao suddenly turned around and saw the Guo Xi who slowly appeared behind him.

Guo Xi was stunned and a little panicky, as if he did not think that someone would actually see through his whereabouts.

Chen Chao reached his army out and grabbed Guo Xi ’s head.

”Do you still have that whatever Puppet Talisman of yours? ”

Chen Chao laughed coldly.
That arm which was stretched out instantly clenched before it smashed out.
This time, it smashed onto Guo Xi ’s face solidly.

Just one punch made blood gush out of his mouth and nose.
A few blood-stained teeth even flew out of his mouth.

Qi refiners had weak bodies and he also encountered a martial artist who tempered their bodies the most.
It was not surprising that there was such a result.

Guo Xi only felt his head spin at this moment being punched right in the face.
But after a brief dizziness, he immediately returned to his senses.
But at this moment, without waiting for him to make any moves, the second punch smashed onto his abdomen solidly.

The youth who did not look very robust, his body under the black shirt tensed up.
The power contained in every piece of muscle burst forth in its entirety at this moment.
He threw punch after punch without any breaks.
The qi activity was surging here, rippling out in waves.

”What ’s the use of scheming this and that? ”

Chen Chao threw punch after punch with a sneer, ”Even if you calculated it, so what?! Pitiful creature! ”

”Even if you kill me, you ’ll never survive too! My sect won ’t let you off! ”

Guo Xi spoke with difficulty.
Blood kept pouring out of his mouth.

He still had moves, but at this moment, it was already very hard to display them.
Having a martial artist get close, furthermore, having the situation completely controlled by the other party.
Even if he still wanted to do something, he could only be strong in will but weak in strength.

His internal organs were damaged at this moment.
Even if he survived by a fluke, he would have to pay a great price to restore his injuries too.

Moreover, it seemed like he did not even have this possibility anymore.

Would Chen Chao who was in front of him let him go?

Of course he would not.

”Whether or not I ’ll die, you won ’t get to see it either way. ”

Chen Chao gripped the sable handle, making no attempt to conceal the overflowing murderous intent in his eyes.
