Chapter 33: Narrow Road of Vengeance, Blood Splatters Within Five Steps

  The speed of the Soul Devouring Beast was far from being as fast as the Purple Ghost Servant, so Xiao Chen and the others had only run for less than thirty miles before they were caught up by the Purple Ghost Servant.

  At the same time, the black wind blood wolf that had tightly bitten the purple ghost servant also arrived. The young man with an imposing aura on top of the blood wolf, with sharp eyes like a sword, immediately saw the clothes worn by Xiao Chen and others, which were indeed the uniforms of the outer disciples of the Yunjian Sword Sect.

  "Hey, younger brother in front! Stop that unknown creature!"

  As early as when the purple ghost servant caught up, Yue Ling and others already knew that the ghost servant behind had arrived, Xiao Chen knew even earlier.

  However, the purple ghost servant is extremely powerful, and even Ma Tiangang of the Lingyuan Mirror's Eighth Heaven can only withstand it. Now that the purple ghost servant has been forced to a desperate situation, anyone who resists will surely be injured or killed, who dares!

  Moreover, subconsciously, all three of them chose to dodge.

  Whoosh!

  A purple ghost servant flashed by in front of Xiao Chen and others like a divine wind.

  "You actually let the unknown creature go, wait for me to come back and punish you!" Hei Feng Xue Lang also quickly followed up, the red-clothed youth glared fiercely at Xiao Chen and the others, threw down a ruthless remark, and then chased after them.

  "Pfft! Inner sect disciples are nothing special, when I return to the sect, I'll also go take the assessment to become an inner sect disciple." Yu Jianman said disdainfully, spitting in the direction that the red-clothed youth had left.

  "He's the one who can kill the purple ghost, we can't. Even if we block his way, all the credit will go to him, and we'll still get hurt or die!" Yue Ling also said, expressing her dissatisfaction with the red-clothed man's attitude.

  Xiao Chen remained silent, watching as the red-clothed man and the purple ghost servant quickly disappeared into the distant forest, a cold smile involuntarily hanging at the corner of his mouth.

  "Yu Jian, Shixiong, Yue Ling, Shijie, it seems we'll have a good show to watch later." Xiao Chen said with meaningful tone, but Yu Jian and Yue Ling were both perplexed, after all they didn't know that Zhong Chongshan was still behind them.

  But there was no need for Xiao Chen to explain, as Zhong Chongshan arrived with five outer sect disciples in a flurry.

  It's really "narrow road for sworn enemies", this encounter is exceptionally moving.

  Zhong Chongshan's gaze fell on Xiao Chen and Yue Ling, and his triangular eyes instantly emitted a chilling light. With a wave of his arm, the six people immediately stopped in their tracks.

  "Haha... what a coincidence, I never thought I'd run into you two dogs here." Zhong Chongshan's eyes were gloomy, and he chuckled twice before speaking.

  "It's indeed clever." Xiao Chen knew that Zhong Chongshan had bought Zhao Wumian to come and kill him, so as soon as he saw Zhong Chongshan, he moved with the intention of killing. He said in a stern tone: "However, there are no male or female dogs here, but rather a toad that doesn't bite people - it's poisonous!"

  "Hey kid, watch your mouth! Who are you calling a toad?"

  Xiao Chen's tone was so obvious that even a fool could hear it, and one of Zhong Chongshan's lackeys immediately showed his loyalty.

  "You responded so actively, it must be you." Yueling took over and said.

  At the words, that rascal's face suddenly turned red with rage, and he cursed: "You little slut, don't be so smug! Today you're unlucky enough to have run into me. I'll definitely make sure Clock Brother ruins your Jade Gate Pass, which hasn't been opened in eighteen years!"

  "Fart!" Yue Ling heard this and immediately became so ashamed that her face turned bright red, stamping her foot and scolding loudly.

  "Yue Ling, don't get angry, killing this grass dog is the way to go!" Xiao Chen said calmly, but his tone was laced with a chilling intent that sent shivers down one's spine.

  When these words came out, You Jian was shocked. Usually, he saw Xiao Chen's gentle and elegant appearance, but how could he be so fierce that he would kill someone with one disagreement!

  Yue Ling, however, knew the whole story and was not surprised at all, but instead very much appreciated it.

  Zhong Chongshan was slightly startled, but then burst out laughing, "Xiao Chen, are you f**king brain damaged? You're the one who killed me! You really think you're a character?"

  "It's not who killed you, it's being killed!" Xiao Chen corrected.

  "How dare you! Do you know who that person was just now? That's my cousin Ge Xiangqian, a disciple of the Inner Gate War Body. He'll be killing that unknown creature soon, and it's not certain who will die then."

  Upon hearing this, the expressions of Yue Ling and You Jian changed, but Xiao Chen's expression didn't change at all, instead he remained extremely calm. Ye Liu Xing had already informed Xiao Chen that the purple ghost servant and the red-clothed youth were now hundreds of miles away, chasing and killing.

  Xiao Chen naturally had a confident air, with a cold smile on his face, and walked step by step towards Zhong Chongshan. The sword hanging from his waist moved in sync with Xiao Chen's footsteps, inching out of its scabbard, emitting an ear-piercing sword hum that made people's hearts tremble!

  All of this showed Xiao Chen's determination, Xiao Chen was determined to kill Zhong Chongshan!

  Seeing this, Zhong Chong's eyebrows furrowed slightly, his eyes turned cold and fierce, and a killing intent burst forth in his gaze. He still didn't know that Xiao Chen and the others had increased their strength by a lot, so he wasn't afraid at all, and he was also in the majority.

  "You should recognize this sword." Xiao Chen walked three steps away from Zhong Chongshan and stopped, at which point all the swords had been unsheathed.

  "You killed Zhao Wumian!" Zhong Chongshan took a closer look at the sword in Xiao Chen's hand, and it was actually a magic sword. In an instant, he reacted and was shocked, and for no reason, fear rose up in his heart.

  "It wasn't me who killed him, he was asking for it himself." Xiao Chen corrected in an icy tone, then tapped his foot on the ground and jumped over two meters high, stepping on the head of the Soul Devouring Beast. At the same time, true energy poured into the sword, and the half-meter-long sword blade trembled slightly, cutting through gold and stone, slashing towards Zhong Chongshan's head.

  Bang!

  Zhong Chongshan was shocked, and he drew out a long sword from his waist. The sword's edge flashed in and out, and it turned out to be a magic sword as well. He raised the sword to block the attack, and the two magic swords collided with each other, producing a loud and intense humming noise.

  Xiao Chen's strength was boundless, possessing four thousand kilograms of massive power, comparable to the Eightfold Heaven Refining Body. This sword was even more powerful, launched with full force. Zhong Chongshan's cultivation was only at the Sixfold Heaven Refining Body, how could he withstand it? He only felt a surge of unstoppable power coming from Xiao Chen's magic sword, his arm numb and unbearable, and his entire person was directly chopped down from the Soul Devouring Beast by Xiao Chen's one sword.

  Zhong Chongshan was shocked beyond measure and cursed loudly as soon as he landed: "I've wasted my efforts raising you! Why aren't you taking action!"

  Upon hearing this, Zhong Chongshan's five dog legs finally reacted and drew their swords to kill Xiao Chen.

  It's not that they reacted slowly, but rather they didn't think of it at all. Xiao Chen was so powerful, and even more unthinkable was that Xiao Chen actually dared to take action.

  "They all attacked together, how unrighteous! Xiao Chen, my junior brother, I'll lend you a hand!" Yu Jian couldn't bear to watch anymore and didn't care about the grudges between them. He directly drew his sword, with the long sword slicing through the wind towards those five thugs.

  "How dare you insult our lady with such blatant language, you deserve to die!" Yue Ling also drew out her treasured sword and joined You Jian in a fierce battle against the five thugs.

  Ding ding ding......

  The war broke out in an instant. The two sides had long been at odds with each other, both harboring murderous intentions. Even if they were from the same school, they would show no mercy when striking, using their full strength.

  Soon, a dog leg was beheaded by You Jian's sword on the spot. You Jian's current strength is condensed into eight heavens, and those dogs who are only in four heavens can't be his opponent.

  Yue Ling also struck by lightning, and the dog leg that had just cursed him was torn apart!

  On the other hand, Xiao Chen held his sword and faced Zhong Chongshan without using any sword moves. He directly used his violent power to crash into Zhong Chongshan, crushing him with his overwhelming strength and smashing all defenses with his powerful and unrefined sword momentum!

  Bang!

  Xiao Chen's sword slammed down, striking the law sword of Zhong Chongshan with a loud crash, bursting into brilliant sparks. Zhong Chongshan exerted himself to resist, but was completely unable to counterattack, his entire body sent flying out at an angle, his tiger mouth shattered, blood gushing forth.

  "You framed me, and now you even want to kill me? Since you don't want me to live, what's the point of keeping you around?" Xiao Chen said coldly, striking out with another sword that sent Zhong Chongshan rolling and crawling on the ground in a most wretched state.

  "It's not like that, actually everything is like that, listen to me explaining..."

  Zhong Chongshan finally knew fear, his cousin was slow to appear, his life hung by a thread, he was no match for Xiao Chen, his life was lost, in an instant, he wanted to use words to delay time.

  However, Xiao Chen was no fool and naturally wouldn't give him the opportunity. With another sword strike, a massive force exploded out, directly sending the law sword in Zhong Chongshan's hand flying out.

  "Ah!" Zhong Chongshan was frightened and cried out in terror, rolling over to dodge.

  "Xiao Chen, shidi... no! Xiao Chen, shixiong, I was wrong, spare my life, don't kill me, I know I was wrong, please spare my life!"

  Zhong Chongshan grabbed onto Xiao Chen's incoming sword with one hand and knelt down to beg for mercy.

  "As long as you don't kill me, I guarantee that today's events won't be told to anyone. These... these things I can all give to you..."

  Zhong Chongshan said, and hurriedly took out a small package from his body, then placed it on the grass in front of Xiao Chen.

  Ink Crystal, Winter Orchid Grass, Seven Star Stem, Sea Tide Jade, White Rainbow Flower Stem...

  Zhong Chongshan took out all the things on his body and arranged them in a row in front of Xiao Chen.

  Xiao Chen coldly smiled and shook his head at Zhong Chongshan, his eyes fixed on the unassuming black ring on Zhong's right index finger.

  Xiao Chen guessed that it must be a storage ring, otherwise, with Zhong Chongshan being so rich, he would never wear such a tacky ring.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected by Xiao Chen, when Xiao Chen expressed his desire for that ring, Zhong Chongshan obviously hesitated.

  "Huh?" Xiao Chen used his sword to heavily knock against Zhong Shan's chin, letting out a heavy hum, but in his heart he was secretly laughing: "I didn't think Ge Xiang would be so fond of him, actually giving his cousin a storage ring. Unfortunately, when I killed Zhao Wu with poisonous smoke that day, the situation was urgent and I didn't get to take Zhao Wu's storage ring."

  At this moment, Zhong Chongshan only wanted to survive. Seeing Xiao Chen's unpleasant expression, he didn't dare say a word. He saw that the five men were all killed by Yue Ling and You Jian. He quickly took off the ring and put it in front of Xiao Chen.

  "You can die now!" Xiao Chen said coldly, and then his true energy poured into the sword, the half-meter-long sword tip was extremely sharp, directly piercing Zhong Chongshan's neck, blood spraying out like a fountain.

  Zhong Chongshan's eyes widened in shock, he clutched at his neck and couldn't utter a word, before weakly collapsing to the ground.

  Xiao Chen didn't even glance at the dead Zhong Chongshan, picked up the ring, and with a surge of his divine soul's power, directly erased the divine soul imprint that Zhong Chongshan had left on the ring.

  Xiao Chen cultivated the 'Ninety-Nine Soul Refining Technique', his divine soul became powerful and pure, far surpassing Zhong Chongshan. After erasing Zhong Chongshan's divine soul imprint, Xiao Chen immediately began to examine the items within the ring.
