Chapter 114: Fierce Battle

  Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes and gazed westward.

  What a strong aura this person has! He must be an extremely skilled martial artist.

  That aura's speed was extremely fast, and in no time it had already entered within a thousand meters.

  Xiao Chen's foot kicked off the stone, and he was already out of sight. The invisible airflow swirled around his feet as he moved silently through the night like a ghost. Before long, Xiao Chen encountered that strong and cold aura again - it was a man in black, moving freely in the darkness, with an air of recklessness, and his eyes constantly scanning back and forth, as if searching for something.

  "The black-clothed man also stopped abruptly, his eyes fixed on a figure standing on a branch of a tree in the distance. A black-haired youth was standing there, staring at him."

  The darkness could not block the high view, so he clearly saw the young man's face, and suddenly a look of excitement and murderous intent appeared on his originally calm face.

  That person, the youth who had been searching in the dark forest for many days, he was certain that this was the person Viscount Wang wanted to find through the crystal ball. He kicked off with one foot, his body transformed into a residual shadow and pounced on Xiao Chen. At the same time, the long knife was unsheathed, and a majestic blood-colored Dou Qi light burst forth in the dark night.

  Like a lone goose flying across the sky, tearing apart the night sky

  Xiao Chen's eyebrows furrowed, he had never thought that a Black Wind team was hunting him down, so he wouldn't have expected this unfamiliar black-clad man to reveal killing intent and attack him the moment he saw him.

  In the brief moment of stunned silence, the blood-red blade light had already approached within inches, the frenzied killing intent almost solidifying the entire space, making it hard for him to breathe.

  This sword is a true killing intent sword, a destructive sword, unrelated to strength or degree, but a kind of heaven and earth destroying sword momentum.

  "Welcome"

  Xiao Chen's hesitation instantly turned into a frenzied will to fight, he had finally found a worthy opponent since coming to this world, a surge of hot blood was burning, the demon star from his previous life, roaming the world, undefeated in battle, it was countless times in such frantic battles that he grew and advanced

  His body burst into the air, and under his feet, thick branches as big as human legs were cut off like tofu in a bloody mist.

  The black-clad man's knife suddenly turned halfway, his hand gesture immediately upwards, chasing and killing the soaring Xiao Chen.

  Xiao Chen's body surged with immense wind energy, his figure fluttering like a willow leaf in the breeze, unpredictable and free. He seemed to have merged with the wind itself, exuding an aura of limitless freedom and agility.

  The man in black let out a shrill cry, his aura bursting forth. The originally over one meter long blade was infused with his aura, and the red glow shot out over three meters, as if it were substantial. The red glow was filled with endless bloodthirst, an atmosphere of slaughter. That was an ultimate killing expert, a butcher, who had to be covered in fresh blood in order to transform his aura into a bloodthirsty aura.

  One sword out of its scabbard, and the air is filled with a strong smell of blood.

  Xiao Chen had seen this kind of aura before, the strongest being Haern, who died at Denoix's hands in Fengji City, but Haern's aura was only half blue and half red, and couldn't be compared to the black-clothed man's aura which was as thick and bloody as a substance.

  With one sword in hand, ghosts and gods don't stay

  Xiao Chen shook his hand, and two wind pellets shot towards the black-clothed man. The black-clothed man's knife momentum remained unchanged, his wrist slightly trembling, as a crimson shockwave of knife energy burst forth.

  Bo bo

  A faint collision sound later, two wind bullets were cut off

  However, the black-clad man's body also slightly paused, being shocked by a huge rebound force and fell downwards into mid-air.

  His eyes revealed a hint of surprise, not expecting Xiao Chen's Wind Blade to be so powerful. With a whoosh, he landed and took off again, pursuing Xiao Chen with an unstoppable momentum, as if determined to kill him or die trying.

  Not slower than Xiao Chen

  Snowflake

  The air was torn apart by a sharp whistle, and a bloody knife net shrouded Xiao Chen.

  Xiao Chen no matter how elusive, seemed to have a knife light from that direction cut over, hiss, Xiao Chen's arm appeared a blood mouth, he, finally was injured.

  After cutting down Xiao Chen, the black-clad man's knife momentum was also exhausted. However, at this moment, he didn't have a hint of excitement from gaining the upper hand. Instead, his expression revealed a heavy-heartedness that his ultimate technique, Tianluodiwang Knife, had only left a small wound on the young boy.

  "It's been so long since I've come out, and you're still the first person who has genuinely hurt me"

  Xiao Chen was excited, thoroughly excited

  "You're also the first person who really made me want to escape," Xiao Chen said, and then his body shot towards the man in black like a cannonball.

  "Ah" The black-clothed man also let out a loud shout, and in an instant, he slashed out over a dozen knives, the air continuously emitting a terrifying sonic boom, that was the knife exceeding the speed of sound.

  Xiao Chen's eyes remained still, his face a canvas of knife lights that filled the sky and covered the earth. He finally made his move, bursting into a red glow with the black-clad man, their knife auras shockingly different. Xiao Chen's calm was silent and soundless, perfectly complementing his Shadowless Knife.

  Silent and sharp, the evening sun pierced through the crisscrossing sword lights

  With a collision, Xiao Chen felt a surge of powerful energy transmitted through Ding, carrying the fierce destructive attribute of Dou Qi.

  His tiger mouth suddenly shattered the power of Seijin, and it was not easy to take just one more step to become a strong swordsman. The black-robed man's power combined with his Dou Yu, was incredibly powerful.

  Xiao Chen's wrist shook, and the dark shadow paused for a moment like ripples, drawing out one small circle after another, full of harmony, yin and yang, and Taiji implications. Under this clever force, that fierce Dou Qi power was indeed diverted to one side.

  In terms of strength, he was far inferior to Hei Yi Ren, but in terms of skill, Xiao Chen was confident that he was second to none.

  Boom boom boom boom boom

  A storm-like impact tore through the night sky, in an instant, the two people's knives clashed over a hundred times, fierce fighting spirit, unrivaled knife energy, and wild aura, ripped apart the surroundings into a mess.

  Xiao Chen and the man in black fought fiercely, their movements swift and deadly, making it hard to distinguish who was gaining the upper hand.

  The passion of that past life battle returned to his body once again

  At first, Xiao Chen was completely suppressed by Xing Ding Shi. His strength and power were far inferior to his opponent's. He could only rely on his wind magic to avoid being at a disadvantage, but the difference in their powers was huge, at least several times stronger, not to mention the additional damage from the aura.

  The gap is already very large, and Xiao Chen has just obtained the Shadow Seal, which he hasn't held in a long time.

  So he started fighting extremely hard and would occasionally get scratched by the sword energy.

  But as the killing continued, he became more and more familiar with the characteristics of Youying Ben, combined with his previous life's Xiudao enlightenment, he gradually turned the tide of battle, indeed it was the best whetstone, Xiao Chen's Xiudao, becoming more and more round and harmonious, mysterious and unpredictable.

  The man in black was getting anxious too. He clearly felt that Xiao Chen's strength was far inferior to his, yet he had been suppressing him for so long and still hadn't managed to kill Xiao Chen.

  Not only did he not die, but he even felt that Xiao Chen was getting stronger and stronger.

  How is this possible?

  No one can become so terrifyingly strong in just one battle, usually, the realization of combat also requires a period of digestion after the battle to improve. Did this guy hold back his strength? The black-clothed man's face turned cold as he launched a swift attack.

  Xiao Chen's expression was calm and collected, his sword strikes were continuous and his tempo was extremely consistent, like a gentle spring breeze or fine rain, unceasing.

  But with the changes in his wrist, he became more and more agile, and he gradually began to grasp the opponent's knife trend. After fighting for so long, if he still can't see the opponent's knife trend, then this genius of the Xiu Zhen realm might as well go die.

  When faced with an opponent whose strength far exceeds one's own, yielding is the only option, which is a passive defense. Further up is to borrow strength.

  Xiao Chen's eyes flashed a sharp light, and after a long defense, he finally began to counterattack.

  Buzz

  At the moment his opponent's sword was about to strike, he grasped that momentum, and his own sword vibrated violently as it collided with the sword. The force was transmitted to the sword and was immediately absorbed by a gentle vibration. Xiao Chen made a decisive slash, and the tip of his sword quivered, releasing the just-absorbed energy in an explosive manner.

  Scoff

  It was certain that, with the help of the black-clad man's power and Xiao Chen's power combined, they launched a joint attack on the black-clad man. The two powers added together, increasing by more than tenfold, and the black-clad man, who had been on the offensive, did not anticipate such an unusual attack.

  A powerful force suddenly broke through the black-robed man's defense

  A loud explosion of powerful aura burst out from his body, but Xiao Chen's certain strength was not something that could be blocked by the hastily released aura.

  Scoff

  The dagger pierced into the black-clad man's body, passing through his lungs.

  Xiao Chen wanted to exert his strength again to shatter the black-clothed man's lungs, the Dou Qi in his body was surging violently, his muscles tensing up, while the black-clothed man's knife came stabbing frantically.

  Life for life

  Xiao Chen sighed and could only draw his sword and retreat.

  The man in black had a blood arrow shot out from his chest, which pierced through his lungs, the injury was extremely severe. His cold and indifferent eyes showed a thick layer of shock, staring at Xiao Chen, he reached into his pocket

  Xiao Chen's head twitched and he swiftly pounced out

  The man in black looked at Ding Ci coldly, his right hand raised a knife and chopped out, while his left hand took out a scroll.

  Xiao Chen's swift and precise movements deflected the black-clad man's knife, but he was already severely injured and had no strength to resist Xiao Chen. As the sunset suddenly rose, a flame also burst into the sky.

  The man in black still crushed the scroll at the last moment, a blood hole appeared on his throat, and fresh blood spurted out. Xiao Chen frowned as he looked up at the flames shooting towards the sky, knowing that this must be some kind of signal.

  Xiao Chen got up and quickly flew back

  Upon arriving at the campsite, he woke up three girls who were still sleeping and urged them hastily: "Let's go, let's hurry"

  "What's going on? Young master?" Xue Tong asked drowsily

  "Somebody is after us" Xiao Chen realized from the black-clad man's unprovoked attack that their target was them, and he suspected there were many more companions.

  Three women were suddenly awakened and hastily got up to pack their things, but actually there was nothing much to pack. A moment later, Xiao Chen led them into the bushes.

  The forest, not long after Xiao Chen left, had a figure rushing to the place where they just fought.
