Chapter 916: All of You Deserve Death

Xiao Chen was not surprised that these three people from the Heaven and Earth Sect had managed to find him.

Back then, the Supreme Sky Emperor had wanted to help Xiao Chen remove that strand of fate. However, Xiao Chen had refused his offer, all so that this could happen.

The white-robed old man’s expression turned cold. He said, “Cats and dogs? To think that the fellow that miserably fled from us two years ago dares to say something like this!”

“Wise up and hand over the peak grade Immortal Spirit Ring in your hand as well as the Lunar Cassia Tree. Otherwise, you will not be able to flee alive this time. We already laid countless traps for you in this city,” the old man on the right side said in an icy voice.

Xiao Chen thought about it and figured out what happened. These three old men had probably leaked his movements.

Right now, he had plenty of enemies. Many people wanted to kill him, quite a number of them experts. Could it be that all of them were in this small city?

With a thought, Xiao Chen’s Spiritual Sense surged out in all directions like the incoming tide. A panorama of the entire city appeared in his mind, but he did not see any powerful enemies.

It looked like these three did not want to split the treasures on Xiao Chen with others. So those people should still be en route.

However, did they know how strong Xiao Chen was now?

Apparently, these three felt confident. Otherwise, they would not dare to charge over with just the three of them.

The old man on the left smiled and said, “Young Master Xiao sure is calm. Even until now, your expression remains the same. Do you actually think that the three of us came without any preparations?”

“I really hate people making noise when I am drinking. All of you deserve death!”

Xiao Chen’s expression turned cold, and he held the Big Dipper Banner in his hand. In the time it took for a spark to fly, he stabbed the banner at the white-robed old man. Starlight lit up the tip of the banner pole. This attack was extremely fast, like a meteor.

“Bang!”

There was an explosion, and the Sage Grade inner vest that the white-robed old man wore shattered. He vomited a mouthful of blood as he went crashing through the walls of the inn.

Xiao Chen did not unfurl the banner, using it as a spear and sweeping it across. This move startled the two old men who had been beside the white-robed old man. They quickly evaded, leaping out.

A berserk aura spread out, shocking all the cultivators in the inn. A battle at the level of Superior Grade Martial Sages was about to begin, so all of them made haste to flee.

Xiao Chen quickly finished the wine on the table and left behind a Black Astral Coin. Smiling faintly, he gave chase.

He had been waiting for these three old men. They really thought that he was still at the same level he had been two years ago, not making any special preparations. This time, these three people had to die.

“Xiao Chen, we gave you an easy way out, but you are choosing to take the hard way. Even if we don’t kill you today, we will cripple you. We will break your limbs and let you taste the feeling of falling from the peak to rock bottom.”

Having changed his clothes, the white-robed old man hovered in the air. A scarlet sword floated above his head. Strands of scarlet sword light circled the sword, spreading a killing Qi.

The other two old men bracketed Xiao Chen. Similar scarlet swords floated above their heads as well.

The three scarlet swords formed a triangle with Xiao Chen in the center. Sword lights were in constant motion between the three, giving off sword hums and generating thousands of sword images. They encased everything within one kilometer as the killing Qi burgeoned forth.

With such a very dense killing Qi, these three scarlet swords probably had incredible origins; they should be King Grade Secret Treasures.

Although a King Grade Secret Treasure was very powerful, Martial Sages below grandmaster level had difficulty bringing out its full might.

The three of them operated their King Grade Secret Treasures together, resulting in them succeeding in bringing out more than eighty percent of their swords’ might. No wonder these three were confident of killing Xiao Chen.

“Hehe! Xiao Chen, the name of these three scarlet swords are Killing Immortal, Beheading Immortal, and Murdering Immortal. They are replicas of three ancient Immortal Swords, personally refined by our Sect Master. Now that you are trapped, you will not be able to escape unless you are a grandmaster-level Martial Sage.”

The skinny old man had incomparably savage confidence in the Beheading Immortal sword above him.

The elegant white-robed old man smiled and said, “Xiao Chen, on account of your low cultivation and the fact that youths also have their pride, as long as you kowtow to us and apologize as well as hand over the peak grade Immortal Spirit Ring and Lunar Cassia Tree, this old man will let all this be bygones.”

This city was a small city at the edge of the Primal Chaos Domain. Normally, no powerful characters would come here. Today, three Superior Grade Martial Sages appeared with King Grade Secret Treasures, so they attracted the attention of the many cultivators in the area.

When the onlookers heard the white-robed old man’s words, they realized that the youth the three old men were fighting was the famous descendant of the Azure Emperor, Xiao Chen. The entire city was galvanized; people flocked to the battlefield to watch.

“So, this is Xiao Chen. He is indeed extraordinary. Even with three older-generation Superior Grade Martial Sages from the Heaven and Earth Sect wielding King Grade Secret Treasures, his expression did not even change.”

“Unexpectedly, he has a peak grade Immortal Spirit Ring. I heard that even Martial Emperors would get envious over something like that.”

“Martial Emperors already grasp Heavenly Laws. With some refinement, the space within a peak grade Immortal Spirit Ring can become a small world. How can they not be envious? Furthermore, only peak grade Immortal Spirit Rings can nourish and grow Spirit Trees above Sage Grade.”

“The Lunar Cassia Tree has a high value as well. The Medicine God Valley always buys this type of Sage Grade Spirit Tree at high prices. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen has one.”

“An ordinary person is innocent, but one with a treasure will get into trouble. With just these two items, even I feel tempted.”

Discussions broke out in the crowd as the cultivators looked at Xiao Chen, who was surrounded by scarlet sword lights. They were filled with anticipation of seeing how he would deal with this.

The names Killing Immortal, Beheading Immortal, and Murdering Immortal were rather scary. Xiao Chen sized up the three scarlet swords and concocted plans in his heart. Soon, an idea came to him.

These three swords were just copies. Furthermore, they were merely weak imitations. The amount of divine materials used was very low. What would be harder to deal with was the killing Qi coming from the swords.

Clearly, the Sect Master of the Heaven and Earth Sect possessed excellent refining skills to be able to use ordinary materials to evoke the true essence of these three swords.

Xiao Chen estimated that thousands of beasts had to have perished to imbue the swords with so much killing Qi.

However, while others feared this killing Qi, Xiao Chen did not. A light flickered on his forehead, and the killing Qi in the scarlet throne poured endlessly into the Big Dipper Banner.

“The few of you are thinking of writing off the matters of the past. However, this Xiao is not thinking of doing that. I will not lose twenty Superior Grade Astral Cores for nothing. Today, I will test out these three Immortal Swords.”

“Whoosh!”

Xiao Chen shook his wrist, and the red banner unfurled. However, instead of spilling starlight, it overflowed with boundless killing Qi.

The red light that spread out seemed very dense. This killing Qi formed a baleful wind blowing everywhere. It instantly suppressed the killing Qi of the three Immortal Swords, putting Xiao Chen at an advantage.

“Seven stars flickering, shattering the moon!”

After gaining the upper hand, Xiao Chen laughed loudly. He carefreely waved the banner, and the stars of the Big Dipper—Dubhe, Merak, Phecda, Megrez, Alioth, Mizar, and Alkaid—all lit up, radiating resplendent starlight.

The banner fluttered as starlight shot out. The seven stars emerged and formed a constellation, filling the sky with starlight. The tables had turned. Now, a starry sky surrounded the three Immortal Swords.

The three old men from the Heaven and Earth Sect did not want to see the situation remaining against them, so they quickly activated Killing Immortal, Beheading Immortal, and Murdering Immortal. Many scarlet sword images shot over, trying to kill Xiao Chen on the spot.

“Dang! Dang! Dang!”

The boundless starlight blocked all the scarlet sword images, neutralizing them.

Xiao Chen smiled coldly. As he held the Big Dipper Banner, starlight poured down from the skies. He looked very ethereal as if he was walking in the starry heavens.

“Seven stars fall, mountains and rivers turn to ashes!”

Xiao Chen pointed to the sky, and the seven stars fell towards the three old men. In this starry sky, the seven Astral Pearls looked like real stars. As they fell, space trembled, forming spreading ripples.

The entire city suffered from the shock wave. Many houses collapsed, one after another.

This attack startled the three. They no longer cared about using the scarlet sword images to kill Xiao Chen. Now, they worked together to form an endless screen of scarlet sword images, trying to block the seven falling stars.

However, how could these three old men block them? The seven stars formed a complete constellation that worked together, and starlight flowed between them. They constituted a meticulous whole that even Xiao Chen would not dare to block head-on.

“Ka ca! Ka ca!”

The scarlet sword images shattered, and the three Heaven and Earth Sect old men vomited mouthfuls of blood and apparently lost some control over the three Immortal Swords floating above their heads.

“Let’s go. That is the Big Dipper Palace’s Big Dipper Banner. I don’t know where this demon obtained it. It is actually a complete Big Dipper Banner. We are not its match.”

Holding the Killing Immortal sword, the white-robed old man sent out a vicious killing Qi to fend off the falling starlight as he tried to escape.

Xiao Chen laughed loudly and withdrew the banner. The seven stars returned to the banner, and it filled with boundless Astral Energy once more. He said, “Don’t the few of you want my peak grade Immortal Spirit Ring or to break my arms? Why the rush to leave? Come back!”

A wind howled as the Big Dipper Banner fluttered and flew out from the pole, spreading out to cover the sky. The flapping banner extended everywhere. Xiao Chen pulled his hand back, and the starlight immediately curled up, capturing the three fleeing old men.

Xiao Chen rotated his wrist, and the banner flew back towards the banner pole. The Big Dipper Banner continuously absorbed Astral Energy, allowing this banner to give off starlight like a divine spear.

He thrust his hand forward, and the banner pole gathered all the scattered killing Qi. “Ka ka ka!” The pole pierced through the three old men’s hearts, lining them up on the Big Dipper Banner like they were dumplings on a skewer.

The three Heaven and Earth old men glared furiously as they died with remaining grievances by impalement on the banner pole.

Such a scene was very shocking. All the cultivators in the city were horrified. The three older-generation Martial Sages came with King Grade Secret Treasures, yet they still died so miserably.

Xiao Chen shook the Big Dipper Banner slightly, and starlight exploded, blasting the three corpses to bits and leaving nothing behind. With one move, he collected the three’s spatial rings and the three Immortal Swords—Killing Immortal, Beheading Immortal, and Murdering Immortal.

The three Immortal Swords had extraordinary might. Unfortunately, the materials used were not of high quality. The main threat—the killing Qi—got countered by Xiao Chen’s Massacre Throne, reduced to nothing before his Big Dipper Banner.

If they had been some other King Grade Secret Treasure, Xiao Chen would not have been as relaxed. He would have had to put in some effort.

Xiao Chen looked below and saw the city in ruins. The cultivators hovering in midair all eyed at him with complicated expressions, some reverent, others greedy. However, most of them showed fear.
