Chapter 775: Attacking Together

Chapter 775: Attacking Together

Xiao Chen’s expression remained the same, calm without any changes.

This sight stunned the three Xuan Clan Senior Elders and the forty half-Sages behind them. All of them opened their eyes wide, staring at the scene before them in disbelief.

Xiao Chen, whom everyone thought was dead by now, unexpectedly walked out of Misleading Fog Lake. He actually managed to get out of the Misleading Fog Lake that had trapped even Martial Emperors.

Xiao Chen frowned slightly. When he saw the formation of people at the lakeshore, he was startled. Three Martial Sages and forty half-Sages. Unexpectedly, the Xuan Clan had activated so many people and waited for him here for three months.

These people are really patient. Xiao Chen’s lips curled up in a strange smile.

However, even with this many people, the ones to pay attention to were just the three Xuan Clan Senior Elders.

The forty half-Sages were of varying strengths. Some had not even comprehended any Heavenly Sage Laws yet. Xiao Chen could easily kill such cultivators with a casual punch. No matter how many there were, it would not matter.

“Sou!”

Xiao Chen gently pushed off the water, and an electric light erupted out. An indistinct soaring Azure Dragon was visible in the middle of the burst of electric light.

In the past three months, not only had Xiao Chen completely comprehended Thunder Steps, but he had also merged it into his Azure Dragon Cloud Soaring Art.

Xiao Chen’s current speed was now double that of before he entered Misleading Fog Lake.

In the eyes of the crowd, it looked like Xiao Chen teleported, crossing a kilometer instantaneously to arrive at the lakeshore.

Xiao Chen casually glanced around, and the forty half-Sages suddenly felt an indescribable pressure invading their minds. They all could not help retreating a step.

Fear spread in the half-Sages’ hearts as they looked at Xiao Chen, causing them all to tremble.

Xiao Chen smiled faintly and looked at Xuan Feng. “This senior has not left yet? That wound on your chest must have stopped hurting already.”

Xiao Chen did not show any fear before the three Martial Sages, casually mocking Xuan Feng.

“It is good that you came out. Today, this old man will kill you personally!”

The fires of hatred blazed in Xuan Feng’s eyes like a volcano. Xiao Chen’s words utterly enraged him. He instantly infused more than a hundred Heavenly Sage Laws into his hand.

Xuan Feng released an intense pressure and charged at Xiao Chen with his full power.

Ninety-nine ice dragons appeared around Xuan Feng, flying around him continuously. Before he arrived, an icy cold aura surged at Xiao Chen like a vast sea.

After his previous experience, Xuan Feng did not intend to hold back at all with his first strike. He immediately brought out his best move, which he usually kept hidden.

When Xuan Shui and Xuan Ye saw this scene, they frowned slightly. They exchanged a glance, showing expressions of confusion.

This opponent was just a half-Sage. Even if Xiao Chen were a demonic genius, there was no need to use the best move from the get-go. Doing so was such a waste, like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows slightly as he saw Xuan Feng charging at him like a surging river. A vigorous lightning spirit blazed in his eyes.

After comprehending his will and cultivating bitterly for three months, Xiao Chen’s strength had improved remarkably. He could use this group of people for practice.

The hundred thick purple Heavenly Sage Laws in Xiao Chen’s body merged like the confluence of a hundred streams into a river. Then they poured into his right fist.

“Kun Peng Fist!” Xiao Chen roared ferociously, and a gale suddenly blew behind him. A boundless aura spread out together with the wind, instantly washing away the vast icy aura.

The Kun Peng was a legendary immortal beast. Its wingspan stretched for thousands of kilometers, able to cover the sky and fly tens of thousands of kilometers in one breath.

[TL Note: As mentioned before, a Peng is a Roc. Kun Peng is a Kun fish that transformed into a Roc. However, as there is no equivalent word for Kun, I’m leaving it all in the Chinese phonetics rather than one in English and one in Chinese. Kun Roc just sounds weird to me.]

There was a saying that when the Kun Peng flapped its wings and soared into the sky, it begrudged the sky for being too low!

Suddenly, an enormous shadow covered the land, and the sky turned dark. The crowd looked up in shock. At some point in time, an incomparably colossal divine bird had taken to the sky behind Xiao Chen.

The enormous shadow came from the colossal bird. A sense of vastness flashed in everyone’s mind.

The instant the Kun Peng flapped its wings, Xiao Chen gently pushed off the ground and leaped up, charging at Xuan Feng’s strongest technique.

“Bang!”

A surging force erupted from Xiao Chen’s fist. “Bang! Bang! Bang!” Explosions resounded endlessly as the blow crushed the ice dragons around Xuan Feng.

These ice dragons turned into a vast cold Qi and spread out, instantly covering the ground one kilometer around in frost.

Each time an ice dragon shattered, Xuan Feng’s complexion became paler. Xiao Chen could now firmly suppress him with his own strength, even without using Deities Descending.

Soon, all ninety-nine ice dragons shattered. This happened so fast that Xuan Ye and Xuan Shui could not react.

“Scram!” Xiao Chen shouted and took another step forward.

A mark flickered on Xiao Chen’s forehead, revealing the light of his will. The forty half-Sages felt like thunder roared in their minds, seeing an illusion of lightning falling. They all cried out in horror.

Xuan Shui and Xuan Ye, the two other Inferior Grade Martial Sages, felt their mind buzz, stunned for a short moment.

Xuan Feng was the most miserable. His ashen face revealed an expression of extreme horror. When he looked at Xiao Chen charging forward, he could not react at all.

“Bang!”

Xiao Chen raised his leg and kicked the Inferior Grade Martial Sage below him, sending him flying into the Xuan Clan half-Sages trapped in the illusion of lightning.

The enormous shadow slowly vanished. After all, this Kun Peng was not a real Kun Peng, just a mysterious phenomenon that Xiao Chen created out of Quintessence, Heavenly Sage Laws, and will.

However, not everyone could create such a vast and grand mysterious phenomenon.

If regular Inferior Grade Martial Sages obtained the Kun Peng Fist Martial Technique and could forcefully support such a mysterious phenomenon, without a will, they would create only the form but not the essence.

They would not be able to produce a mysterious phenomenon that made others feel insignificant like Xiao Chen had.

The shadow vanished, and the sunlight shone on the ground once more. The blazing sun illuminated Xiao Chen’s pure white clothes.

The wind continued blowing, and Xiao Chen’s fringe waved gently. His delicate facial features appeared before everyone without anything hidden.

One punch. Xiao Chen overwhelmed an Inferior Grade Martial Sage’s full-power strike and destroyed him in one punch. No one knew exactly how much of his strength he had brought out.

When Xuan Shui and Xuan Ye saw this, their throats went dry. They could not help but squirm uncomfortably, appearing rather stunned.

“Rumble…!”

The sound of Xuan Feng crashing to the ground along with miserable cries rang out, rousing the two dazed Martial Sages from their stupor. They shouted, “Attack together and quickly kill him!”

In the end, the forty half-Sages of the Xuan Clan were still battle-hardened half-Sages.

After everyone struggled free of the illusion and heard the Senior Elders’ command, they immediately attacked. They transformed into their true forms at the same time and charged at Xiao Chen.

When Fiends changed forms, they expended a lot of Quintessence to reveal their true forms. Unless they were forced into a desperate situation, they would normally not do so.

At this moment, facing Xiao Chen, who comprehended a will, they were not strong enough if they did not reveal their true forms.

Xiao Chen smiled faintly. If it were the previous him, he would have had no choice but to flee in a sorry state before forty Fiend Race half-Sages.

However, now, it did not matter whether they transformed into their true forms or not. Against a Xiao Chen who comprehended a will and had a hundred thumb-width Heavenly Sage Laws, their efforts would be like an ant trying to shake a tree or a mantis trying to stop a car.

“Myriad Heaven Divine Fist! Chains of Deities!”

Xiao Chen’s Quintessence, Vital Qi, and Mental Energy all poured out simultaneously as he punched three times at the forty Spirit Foxes in the air.

“Ka ca! Ka ca!”

Divine scripts flowed around, and chains that looked like berserk dragons appeared out of thin air. The chains flew everywhere and caught all the Spirit Foxes, not allowing them to move a millimeter.

The forty Spirit Foxes piled up looked like a small mountain—a very frightening sight.

Divine scripts flowed around, and a sealing power pressed on the Fiend Race half-Sages in their true forms, causing them to cry out in agony.

Xiao Chen’s gaze turned cold and merciless. With Xuan Yu’s death, the grudge between him and the Xuan Clan was set. They would definitely not let him off until they killed him.

In that case, he did not need to show any mercy. He stretched his hands out, and a chain appeared from the pile of trapped half-Sages. Then, he grabbed the chain and pulled everyone over as if the chains were a net.

Before the shocked gazes of Xuan Shui and Xuan Ye, Xiao Chen used the pile of half-Sages as a weapon and flung it at the two.

“Hu chi!”

This attack alarmed Xuan Shui and Xuan Ye as they quickly dodged.

Xiao Chen leaped into the air, and electric light erupted from his feet. As he moved, his figure flickered, continuously swinging the group of trapped half-Sages at the two Martial Sages.

Xuan Shui and Xuan Ye kept dodging, cursing as they did so. This fellow was actually so bold, using their clansmen as a weapon.

The whizzing mountain of flesh was clearly puissant. Even the two of them did not dare to clash against it head-on. The even more important thing was their clansmen.

The harder the two fought back, the greater the injuries of their Xuan Clan’s people would be. Xiao Chen would not be affected at all.

“You bastard! You better stop immediately!”

“Quickly stop now, and we can give you a painless death!”

These two did not seem to understand who held the upper hand, daring to speak like that. Xiao Chen was too lazy to pay attention to their words as his figure flashed and continued to swing the pile of people at them.

“Rumble…!” The tangled-up half-Sages crashed into the ground repeatedly, creating deep pits. Cracks appeared in the ground as dust clouds flew up.

How much force Xiao Chen used was obvious. “Bang!” It felt like he managed to hit someone, so he could not help but laugh.

It turned out to be Xuan Feng, whom Xiao Chen had already reduced to a sorry state. Xuan Feng wanted to take advantage of the chaos and flee. In the end, he accidentally got caught in the crossfire. The mountain of flesh struck his heavily injured body.

Xuan Feng shrieked in anguish and vomited a mouthful of blood, falling to the ground and fainting.

This time, Xiao Chen had not hit him on purpose. Xuan Feng ran into the attack himself. Suddenly, Xiao Chen felt the weight in his hand disappear. The sealed Xuan Clan half-Sages had exhausted all their Quintessence and returned to human form.

Xiao Chen’s lips curled up, and he casually tossed them aside like they were garbage.

“Sou!”

Xuan Shui and Xuan Ye focused their killing Qi and lost their previous reservations, immediately charging at Xiao Chen.

The two Inferior Grade Martial Sages worked together to execute their best killing moves. A cold wind blew sharply, sending out an icy aura.
