Chapter 114

This was a dense forest. The man from Yunxia City was frantically fleeing. Seeing Zi Chen's strength from afar, he could no longer summon up any thoughts of fighting.

As for his previous boast of being able to crush his opponent with one finger, he found it laughable.

He frantically fled, wanting to get rid of Zi Chen. But before he could run far, his figure had already stopped. His eyes were filled with shock as he looked ahead.

"You …!"

Unknowingly, Zi Chen had already arrived in front of him. Although he was dressed in black and was in tatters, his back was straight. After the man cried out in alarm, Zi Chen slowly turned around.

He wasn't very old, but his face was very handsome. His black hair was like a waterfall, and his eyes were like the light of the sun. He turned around and looked at the man. His eyes were calm, and his tone was indifferent. "Let me ask you a question. If you tell me the truth, I'll spare your life."

The man's eyes were filled with dread, his expression constantly changing. Hearing Zi Chen's words, he subconsciously asked, "What question?"

"Who sent you? Wang Zhenwei or Wang Qiong?" Zi Chen's voice was calm, his expression indifferent.

The man's forehead was already covered in sweat. If he didn't answer properly, he might lose his life today. Although he was strong, he didn't think he could stop the other party. Wiping the cold sweat off his forehead, the man said, "It was the young miss, Miss Xian Er, who sent me. She felt that you were still alive, so when I saw you, I was to bring you back."

"Is that so?"

Zi Chen's lips curled into a cold smile. "Since she sent you, why did you run when you saw me?"

"This … this …!"

The man's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He didn't know how to answer. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. "That's because I wanted to tell Miss Xian Er the news. I wanted her to personally come and pick you up. That would show my sincerity."

"Humph, nonsense. I originally wanted to give you a chance to live, but you didn't fight for it. If I'm not wrong, it was Wang Zhenwei who sent you." Zi Chen sneered, his eyes filled with killing intent.

"You …!"

The man's expression changed. Without another word, he turned tail and ran. He was at the late Xiantian stage, and his strength was strong. But at this time, he didn't dare to confront Zi Chen.

"You want to leave?"

Zi Chen's lips curled as a bone-piercing killing intent seeped out from his body. The Nine Fleeting Thunderbolts appeared, representing extreme speed. Now that he was about to comprehend the Second Fleeting Thunderbolt, his speed was even faster.

Swoosh!

With a flash of lightning, Zi Chen appeared in front of the man. His speed was so fast that the man couldn't even imagine it. Immediately after, Zi Chen clenched his fists, and like two shining silver hammers, he smashed them with a whistling sound, bringing with him a strong wind.

"Ha!"

The man shouted as he madly mobilized his Xiantian Zhen Qi. All of his Zhen Qi gathered in his hands and emitted a dazzling brilliance to block Zi Chen's attack.

Boom!

The silver fist was like a hot knife through butter. Its power was peerless. With a boom, it shattered the protective Zhen Qi around the man's body. Then, it smashed into the man's body, forcing him to retreat.

"What terrifying power!"

The man grimaced in pain as he finally experienced Zi Chen's strength.

Swoosh!

After one attack, another attack came. Zi Chen's body flickered as he waved his fist again.

"Zi Chen, don't push me too far. If worse comes to worst, I won't report you when I go back."

The man couldn't retreat, so he could only block again. With a flash of brilliance, a weapon appeared at his waist. With a cold light, he pointed it at Zi Chen.

"You'd better fool a kid with this kind of words!"

The power of the fist was like two mountains pressing down. It was extremely terrifying. Once again, the man was sent flying. The weapon in his hand had already been shattered.

The man coughed up a mouthful of blood. Zi Chen's body was too terrifying. Even a late-stage Zhen Qi warrior like him couldn't withstand it. He shouted angrily as his eyes turned red, "Zi Chen, you've gone too far. Watch out for my Black Wind Palm!"

Gusts of wild wind rolled up like wind blades. It was incomparably dark, and a terrifying aura emerged from it. The man used a Xiantian battle skill. As he raised his palm, it seemed as if a gust of black wind was attacking, bringing with it a bone-piercing chill.

"Humph!"

Zi Chen coldly snorted. His expression didn't change as he waved his fist. The silver light was dazzling, illuminating the dense forest. His fist was like a small mountain crushing towards the man.

"Boom!"

The black wind suddenly trembled. It was blocked by Zi Chen's fist. Then, the surging energy entered the black wind, creating a loud bang. In an instant, the black wind was annihilated, and the Black Wind Palm was broken. At the same time, the slightly dimmed fist light passed through the black wind and hit the man's chest.

"Bang!"

With a dull sound, the man was sent flying. He coughed up a mouthful of blood. The powerful Xiantian battle skill still couldn't do anything to Zi Chen.

"Dong!"

Both of Zi Chen's fists shook again. He flashed forward and launched another fierce attack. At this moment, his eyes turned cold and filled with killing intent. He was determined to kill his opponent.

The man coughed up a mouthful of blood and was sent flying again. This time, his protective light shield was broken, and the sound of bones breaking resounded.

"You forced me to do this!"

The man was furious. He fell into madness. The aura around his body became even more turbulent. He was burning all of his potential. He was determined to fight Zi Chen with his life.

Zi Chen waved his fist. His body was shining with a silver light. He was like a silver-armored war god, cold and emotionless. Streaks of lightning wandered around his body. It was dazzling.

"Dang!"

Fists were Zi Chen's best weapon. With one punch, the terrifying black wind was annihilated again, and the man was sent flying again.

Swoosh!

Lightning flashed between Zi Chen's fingers. Streaks of lightning appeared. They were dazzling like thunder dragons, rushing towards the man.

The complete version of the Thunderbolt Finger could evolve into thousands of thunder dragons. Zi Chen was only at the entry level, and could only evolve five. However, the power was five times stronger than the previous version. It was extremely terrifying.

In addition to the power, there was also the lightning's extreme speed. The five streaks of lightning wrapped around the man in an instant. Then, there was the sound of thunder exploding. Silver light bloomed in front of Zi Chen like a silver firework.

The light dissipated, and the lightning disappeared. Everything returned to silence. In front of Zi Chen, there was only a charred figure. The late Xiantian realm man was already dead.

The battle before had caused a huge commotion. It was not good to stay here for long.

Zi Chen grabbed his bag and hurriedly left.

"What kind of world is this? In just half a year, I've offended three major powers."

Zi Chen complained incessantly. He did not do anything, but he had already offended three major powers.

Cloud City, Heavenly Slaughter Pavilion, and Martial Ancestor. These were all famous existences in the southern region. The number of disciples under them was innumerable. Zi Chen felt a great pressure.

Now, he desperately wanted to reach the Floating Snow City. He kept reminding himself that he had to keep a low profile and not cause any trouble.

The forest was full of trees. There was no lack of ancient trees that were more than a hundred years old. They were like horned dragons, rooted in the ground.

Zi Chen walked through the forest. Suddenly, he realized that this forest was very familiar.

"This is the forest near Qingshui Village. I wonder how the villagers are doing. Were they implicated?"

Zi Chen was very grateful that the villagers had saved him and Wang Xian 'er. After that, he was always afraid that the Martial Ancestor would take revenge.

Today, he happened to pass by, so Zi Chen decided to take a look.

Half an hour later, Zi Chen arrived at his destination. The village was still the same as before, with many houses and chimneys. There was nothing special about it. From afar, Zi Chen could hear the laughter of children. Obviously, this place had not been affected, and was still a peaceful place.

Zi Chen heaved a sigh of relief. He was about to enter the village and greet the villagers before leaving. But suddenly, Zi Chen saw the villagers walking out of the village. They were all dressed neatly, as if they had deliberately dressed up. Their faces were filled with anticipation and smiles, as if they were ready to welcome someone.

"What's going on?"

Zi Chen was puzzled. He hid in the forest and did not come out. He observed carefully. The villagers stopped at the entrance of the village, leaving a large open space. The children were jumping around excitedly, saying that their big sister was coming.

"Big sister?

Could it be Wang Xian 'er? "Zi Chen was stunned and did not show himself.

After a while, two people walked out of the village. They were two middle-aged men, one tall and one short. After seeing the happy children, their eyes flashed with disdain. They passed through the crowd and walked straight ahead.

"People from Yunxia City." Zi Chen's face changed. He was secretly glad that he did not appear.

These two were powerful cultivators. Wherever they passed, the villagers would make way for them. Their eyes were filled with fear. Even the village chief was the same. When he saw the two of them, he quickly smiled apologetically.

"Hmph, remember this. When the young miss comes, all of you better cheer up. Don't cry." The tall middle-aged man snorted.

"Yes, yes!

Of course, of course! "

The villagers nodded. They were afraid of offending the tall middle-aged man.

"Sir, I would like to ask, is Young Master Zi Chen really dead?" The village chief's eyes were a little sad as he asked.

When the other villagers heard this question, they all raised their heads. Even the children stopped playing and looked at the tall middle-aged man. Everyone's eyes were filled with expectation.

"Bah, what Young Master? That guy is too bold. He dared to deceive the people of Yunxia City and caused us to attack the Martial Ancestor. Not to mention that this guy is dead, even if he is not dead, I will slap him to death." The tall middle-aged man suddenly scolded.

"Zi Chen and Miss Xian 'er are very good friends. He was the one who saved Miss Xian' er that day. They are lovers." A villager suddenly said. Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with the tall cultivator's words.

"Bullshit, what do you know? Who is our young miss? She is the high and mighty princess of Yunxia City. She is above everyone. Who is Zi Chen? He is just a disciple of a small destroyed sect. He is only in the True Qi Realm. What qualifications does he have to be on the same level as our young miss? Bah, what qualifications does he have to be on the same level as our young miss?

"But …!"

"No buts. Let me tell you, don't mention the name Zi Chen in front of me in the future. Otherwise, I will get angry and burn your village.

What kind of trash is he? How dare he be mentioned in the same breath as our young miss. "

The tall middle-aged man said with dissatisfaction. "When the young miss comes, whoever dares to mention Zi Chen to me will not see the sun tomorrow."

"Yes, yes!" The villagers nodded again and again, their eyes full of horror.

"You haven't forgotten what we told you before, right?" The short middle-aged man said coldly.

"No, no, we will definitely put in a good word for them in front of Miss Xian 'er." The villagers hurriedly said, as if they were afraid of the two.

"Hmph, not only do you have to put in a good word, but also say that the hut is old and needs to be rebuilt. You will need some Primordial Stones." The short man said.

"Yes, yes!" The village chief nodded again and again, his back bowed.

From afar, Zi Chen was fuming with anger when he heard this. These two were truly shameless to the extreme. They actually wanted to use the fact that the villagers had saved Wang Xian 'er to get more benefits from the villagers. Obviously, these benefits would not fall into their hands.

"Damn it." Zi Chen's eyes flashed coldly. He could not wait to slap the two of them to death.

However, at this moment, a clear and melodious bird cry sounded from the sky.

Hearing the sound, Zi Chen looked up and saw a fiery red color on the horizon. It was like a burning flame and was flying towards them quickly.

"This is the Fire Luan!"
