Chapter 784: Directly Blown Away

Time slowly passed, but Xiao Chen did not arrive. The cultivators who were originally full of excitement and anticipation all lost their patience. Some of them even started cursing in low voices.

“Some nonsense one-year arrangement. He is just a gutless person.”

“The worst thing is that Bai Wuxue even formally acknowledged him. It turns out that he is merely so-so.”

“Even if he does not want to come, he should at least send someone to admit defeat in advance. He made us waste so much time, rushing over and waiting here.”

“He completely embarrassed the Supreme Sky Sect.”

When Jun Si and the others on the Profound Sun Bird’s back heard all these discussions, they could not help but show anxiety and discomfiture on their faces.

No matter the reason, Xiao Chen fleeing without fighting did embarrass the Supreme Sky Sect completely.

Jun Si said hesitantly, “First Senior Sister, I think we had best say something. We can’t just keep letting this drag on.”

Shui Lingling’s soft, pretty face looked calm as usual. She replied, “Don’t worry. Since he promised me that he would return safely, he will definitely come.”

“Boom!”

Just as some of the waiting Extreme Yin Sect Elders were about to lose their patience and wanted to declare Xiao Chen’s forfeit, a purple bolt of lightning suddenly tore through the sky.

The purple lightning bolt landed like a spear striking the bronze bell. The ear-splitting heavy toll of the bell instantly rang out, audible everywhere within five kilometers.

When the bell rang, the roar of the thunder and deep toll resonated with each other, propagating in all directions and rushing up to the sky.

A figure landed, somewhat in a hurry. When he looked at Bai Wuxue, who was in the arena, he said calmly, “After one year, Xiao Chen arrives on time.”

On the Profound Sun Bird, Shui Lingling’s face relaxed in joy. She smiled and said, “I just knew he would definitely come.”

The sound of the bell reverberated endlessly. The purple lightning bolt that fell from the sky still had plenty of remnant might. Sparks flew around the ancient bronze bell, crackling as they leaped around without any signs of stopping.

A white figure appeared one kilometer from the challenge peak. All the cultivators waiting in the air could not help but focus their gazes there.

“He really came! He clearly knows that he will lose, but he still dared to come. He is actually somewhat brave.”

“Haha, he is just going to end up humiliating himself. There is no difference whether he came or not.”

“You can't say that. There is a big difference between fleeing without a fight and arriving as arranged. If we were the ones put on the spot, knowing that Bai Wuxue can kill a Martial Sage, how many of us would have the courage to come and fight him?”

“That’s right. No matter what, I still quite admire his courage.”

Xiao Chen’s arrival exceeded many people’s expectations. The negative words against him lessened significantly.

Despite clearly knowing that he would lose yet still daring to come, this courage won good evaluations of Xiao Chen.

Ximen Bao smiled, and a murderous intent appeared on his face. He said frostily, “I hope that Bai Wuxue won’t end up killing you. Otherwise, it will be too boring.”

The top Battle Realms’ genius, Niu Deng, had a similar hostile expression. His eyes turned cold as he said, “I did not expect him to have broken through to half-Sage in one year. However, he is facing Bai Wuxue and does not have much of a chance.”

Pity filled the eyes of the Passionate Young Master, Murong Lingfeng, and the Full Moon Pavilion’s Feng Xingsheng.

Xiao Chen managed to successfully break through to half-Sage in one year. Even in this great age of geniuses, such talent stood out from the crowd; he was of peak standard.

Unfortunately, Xiao Chen met with Bai Wuxue. His defeat was certain. It was now just a matter of whether Bai Wuxue was willing to spare his life or not. It would be a pity if such a person fell.

Normal cultivators could not see the Heavenly Sage Laws behind Xiao Chen. However, these peak experts could tell with one glance.

Although they could not see the Heavenly Sage Laws distinctly, they could tell that the Heavenly Sage Laws were there. Having them was sufficient proof that Xiao Chen was at the border of the Martial Sage realm.

Such cultivation and talent shocked many people. However, the crowd was still pessimistic about Xiao Chen’s chances because his opponent was too horrifying.

Bai Wuxue could even kill a Martial Sage. No matter how heaven-defying or how much of a demonic genius Xiao Chen was, it did not matter. So what if Xiao Chen had advanced to half-Sage?

Only An Junxi, who stood on another mountain peak, looked up at Xiao Chen and entered deep thought. A strange light flashed in his eyes.

The Extreme Yin Sect Elder looked coldly at Xiao Chen and said expressionlessly, “The bell has rung. Life or death depends on the heavens. The duel begins immediately.”

After the Extreme Yin Sect Elder finished speaking, he drifted away without saying anything else, directly leaving the summit.

Bai Wuxue was dressed in white and blue robes. His handsome face looked cold. As he watched Xiao Chen arrive, his indifferent expression did not change.

“After not seeing you for a year, you advanced to half-Sage already. Not bad. Unfortunately, I did not stagnate. If you admit defeat now, I can leave you a path to life. Otherwise, I might not be able to hold back later,” Bai Wuxue said apathetically as he stared at Xiao Chen; he had absolute confidence in his strength.

Xiao Chen’s pupils constricted as he smiled faintly. “Is that so? In that case, I will return the same offer to you word for word. I am also afraid that I cannot hold myself back.”

Bai Wuxue neither raged nor smiled. Feather-like snowflakes fell from the sky for no reason, covering the ground in a thick layer of snow.

“Holy Icy Cold Palm!”

Bai Wuxue stepped forward and sent out an attack. A gigantic ice palm appeared out of nowhere and headed for Xiao Chen.

This ice palm was different from the Great Icy Cold Palm of the past. This Holy Icy Cold Palm had even more spirituality. It seemed to resonate with nature.

When Xiao Chen looked up, he could even see an ancient Sage sitting high in the sky amid the drifting snow. It was that Sage and not Bai Wuxue that sent this palm.

“This is the Extreme Yin Sect’s Superior Grade Heaven Ranked Martial Technique. No one has managed to practice it for several hundred years already because it has very high demands on comprehension.”

“It looks like this Bai Wuxue has no intention of wasting time with Xiao Chen. He is planning to kill him with one attack.”

“It’s over. Bai Wuxue is too direct. There is nothing to see in this battle.”

The moment Bai Wuxue attacked, several people exclaimed. They had not expected him to practice this Martial Technique. Shui Lingling and the others on the Profound Sun Bird could not help but show anxiety on their faces.

“This is somewhat interesting. However, that should not be all you have.”

Xiao Chen looked around and made a decision in his heart. His figure flashed and quickly dodged. The ice palm with a holy light crashed into the arena and cracked it. The entire mountain peak shook.

Mighty and ferocious, the puissance of the Holy Icy Cold Palm made everyone sigh in sorrow.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Mountain-like ice palms flew continuously at the dodging Xiao Chen. The entire mountain started to quake intensely. The arena shattered into countless shards shooting up into the air.

The fight just started, and it already spread throughout the entire mountain summit. The cultivators watching from a distance had shown great foresight.

Before the gigantic palm, Xiao Chen appeared very small and insignificant. His continuous dodging looked very hair-raising as he evaded each ice palm by the skin of his teeth.

After dodging several times, Xiao Chen found an opportunity. He stomped ferociously on the ground and nimbly sidestepped the ice palms, leaping into the air and charging at Bai Wuxue.

Such an exquisite and nimble Movement Technique won the praise of several people.

However, Bai Wuxue merely smiled coldly and quickly formed hand seals. He showed a mocking expression and said, “I was just waiting for you to come. Die!”

Suddenly, two colossal ice palms appeared in the air. Then, the two ice palms moved towards each other, like two mountains closing in on each other, quickly bracketing Xiao Chen.

This abrupt development caused many people to change their expressions. Xiao Chen, who was trapped between the two palms, looked very small and insignificant. He had no way to dodge.

If the two palms clamped on Xiao Chen, how could he have any chance of survival? Unexpectedly, Bai Wuxue had such a backup move.

Just as the onlookers’ hearts leaped to their throats, vast and resonant sagely music sounded, and golden light descended from the horizon.

The resonant sagely music sang of Xiao Chen’s legend. His exploits condensed into a flickering golden painting.

As the sagely music played out, the gears of time wound on, and the legend became a vast poetic saga, which then turned into a glorious myth.

Many people felt a misperception as they stared at the painting that suddenly appeared—as if they were seeing ancient history—and the impression evoked the need to worship him.

“Bang!”

Xiao Chen punched at both sides. The power of the legend poured into his fists as he hit the two ice palms. Before the crowd’s astonished eyes, the two ice palms shattered into shards.

The ice shards reflected the sunlight, creating beams of rainbow-colored light and forming a dreamlike scene where Xiao Chen in his white robes looked like a celestial immortal.

“You are not the only person with a Superior Grade Heaven Ranked Martial Technique.”

Xiao Chen smiled coldly in his heart as clumps of electric light burst out under his feet. He instantly executed Thunder Dragon Steps, and his figure flickered. Then he punched with Radiance of Deities.

In a flash, the tables had turned. Xiao Chen, who was initially scurrying around to dodge, actually attacked.

Bai Wuxue’s face sank. Clearly, he had not anticipated that Xiao Chen would break his Holy Icy Cold Palm so easily.

When Bai Wuxue saw the vast resplendent pillar of light, he stomped ferociously on the ground, creating rumbling sounds as a snow mountain rose up behind him. There was even a white-robed Sage sitting at the summit of the snow mountain.

In that instant, space became solid. The pillar of light that came flying over could not advance any further.

Bai Wuxue sent out a palm strike, and the Sage at the summit of the snow mountain opened his eyes and mirrored the attack simultaneously. The two’s actions seemed synchronized.

When the Sage attacked, an ancient sagely sound reverberated through the sky.

Instantly, snow fell even more heavily. Some snow tornadoes also appeared in the distant sky, spinning wildly.

Such a mysterious phenomenon looked and sounded very horrifying. The cultivators one kilometer away could not help but move back another five kilometers.

Its strong might was unmoved as if it were a mountain.

Bai Wuxue’s palm caught hold of the majestic and resplendent pillar of light. Without taking a step, he turned the light into ice and shattered it into pieces.

“I obtained the inheritance of the ancient Snow Race. No matter how strong you are, you are just a joke before me.”

As Bai Wuxue watched the light turn into ice shards, seeing himself break such a mighty move easily, he could not help but smile cockily.

So what if you can break my Holy Icy Cold Palm? You will still get defeated.

However, before Bai Wuxue could complete that smile, Xiao Chen had already arrived in front of him. Xiao Chen did not feel dispirited over Bai Wuxue’s breaking Radiance of Deities.

All Xiao Chen wanted was to get close to Bai Wuxue. Obviously, he achieved his aim.

Myriad Heaven Divine Fist, tenfold combat prowess, Deities Descending!

A beam of divine light tore through the barrier of the sky and entered Xiao Chen’s body, sending his aura soaring. All the creatures in the world seemed to want to bow in worship.

Suddenly, before his aura, the drifting snow in the air froze in place like time had stopped.

Xiao Chen roared ferociously, and a golden light shone. His white robes fluttered, and golden radiance emanated from every strand of his hair as he punched.

Bai Wuxue, who clashed head-on with this move, clearly had not expected Xiao Chen’s strength to increase tenfold. The snow mountain behind him instantly crumbled, and the Sage sitting at the summit exploded.

“Break!”

After the snow mountain crumbled, Bai Wuxue’s momentum plummeted to rock bottom. He went flying back like a released arrow, zooming one kilometer in an instant, and crashed outside the flat top of the challenge peak.

The snowflakes stopped dancing, and the strong winds stopped howling. Xiao Chen stood calmly on the mountaintop, looking coldly at Bai Wuxue, who had an incredulous look.

The entire place fell quiet. The flow of the battle had changed so suddenly in a few moves that everyone’s emotions surged, fluctuating without end. No one had expected such a result.

That white-robed brat had actually sent Bai Wuxue flying!
