128. I'll Fight You

As the saying goes, there’s no wall that doesn’t let the wind through.

With the conclusion of the sect competition, the events that unfolded in the Demon Realm quickly spread throughout Demon City.

Upon hearing the news, the members of various sects were stunned.

No one expected that, among the many participants and sects who entered the Demon Realm, only members of the Dao Sect, Sword Sect, and a few factions like Great Precipice Cave managed to survive.

The disciples of all other sects?

Not a single one made it out alive.

Even Yuan Gate’s eight elders were slaughtered!

And the one behind it all was none other than the now-infamous Chen Xuan, whose name reverberated across the Eastern Xuan Region.

Divine Sect Elder: “That wretched brat! He dared to kill our elite disciples. If Ying Xuanzi doesn’t provide a proper explanation, I will personally cripple Chen Xuan!”

Symbol Valley Elder: “This Chen Xuan! He dared to humiliate and murder our Saintess Xue Wan! Such behavior is utterly vile!”

Desolate Hall Elder: “This youth harbors far too much killing intent. He must be punished severely!”

Ghost Blade Sect Elder: “We may be a small sect, but we won’t tolerate being trampled upon!”

Fire Cloud Sect Elder: “Let’s go to Yuan Gate and demand justice!”

Thousand Puppet Sect Elder: “Indeed! Not only did Yuan Gate lose all their elites, but they also lost eight elders!”


United in fury, the elders of these sects gathered and marched toward Yuan Gate’s stronghold.

Meanwhile, in a Demon City inn.

Qi Lei burst into hearty laughter.

“Hahaha! Did you hear? Chen Xuan, all on his own, annihilated all of Yuan Gate’s elites and even dealt with their elders!”

Chen Zhen slammed the table heavily. “It’s exhilarating!”

But Xia Yan furrowed his brows and hesitated. “However, disciples from other sects were also killed. This… it’s a bit…”

Wu Dao sneered. “Hmph! It’s obvious. They must have tried to curry favor with Yuan Gate and joined forces against our Dao Sect. They got what they deserved when Chen Xuan wiped them all out!”

Having personally reached out to these so-called super sects for alliances in the past, Wu Dao had already sensed their ulterior motives.

Still, Zhu Shan voiced his concern. “This incident is huge. They definitely won’t let it go easily!”

If it were only Yuan Gate, it wouldn’t be a big issue. But with other sects involved, it became a major problem.

Wu Dao snorted. “And whose fault is that? If they’re blind, they deserve it!”

Qi Lei nodded. “True, but we should still notify the sect master as soon as possible.”

Elsewhere.

The Divine Sect, Desolate Hall, and other sects convened at Yuan Gate, demanding they take the lead.

The Yuan Gate leaders agreed eagerly.

They were merely waiting for the Dao Sect members to appear!


---

In Demon City.

All eyes were fixed on the exit portal.

Finally, figures began appearing atop the altar.

When it was confirmed that these were Dao Sect disciples, the city erupted into chaos.

As soon as the Dao Sect members emerged, dozens of furious figures stormed forward, surrounding them completely.

Symbol Valley Elder: “Chen Xuan! Not only did you slaughter our elite disciples, but you also violated and killed our Saintess Xue Wan! Today, I will avenge her!”

Chen Xuan (calmly): “Avenge her? Hah, with you?”


A chilling, murderous aura erupted from his gaze, leaving no room for doubt.

The elders of the other sects stepped forward one by one.

“Boy, don’t be so arrogant. You’ll face all of us today!”

“You killed our Divine Sect disciples. I will skin you alive!”

“I’ll turn you into a spirit puppet to serve the Ten Thousand Puppet Sect for eternity!”

“I, from the Desolate Hall, will…”


Hearing their threats, Ying Huanhuan couldn’t take it anymore.

She stepped forward angrily. “You people have no sense of reason! It was your disciples who allied with Yuan Gate and attacked us first! Chen Xuan was forced to defend himself!”

Wang Yan followed, shouting, “Exactly! You bunch of old fools! What, have you all lived your lives as dogs?”

Symbol Valley Elder said sharply: “Silence! The murderer is Chen Xuan. This has nothing to do with the rest of you!”


Ying Huanhuan snapped back. “By your logic, your disciples can come to kill us, but we aren’t allowed to fight back?”

Ying Xiaoxiao Couldn't Stay Silent Any Longer!

What kind of people are you?
You call yourselves respected figures of the Eastern Xuan Region?
Do you even think before you speak?

The Divine Sect elder, enraged, shouted, “You sharp-tongued little brat! If you dare interrupt again, I’ll rip your mouth apart!”

With his cultivation at the Advanced Profound Life Realm, dealing with Ying Xiaoxiao would normally be a trivial matter.

However, that would be in normal circumstances.

Now, with Chen Xuan present, how could he allow such arrogance?

Before the elder’s words fully settled, Chen Xuan moved like a phantom, suddenly appearing behind the Divine Sect elder.

No one sensed when or how he moved.

It was as if he had been standing there all along.

“Swish!”

Chen Xuan’s sword flashed.

A crimson arc split through the air, and the Divine Sect elder’s head rolled to the ground.

His lifeless eyes were filled with disbelief, confusion, and unwillingness.

The other sect members were dumbfounded.

One strike!

With a single move, he decapitated an advanced Profound Life Realm expert!

This was horrifying!

Even other top-tier Profound Death Realm experts wouldn’t have been confident they could do the same.

How had he managed it?

“Y-You…”

“Murder! He killed someone!”

“Chen Xuan dared to kill someone publicly! Is this how Dao Sect disciplines its disciples?”

“Dao Sect disciples are tyrannical and oppressive! They should be eradicated!”

“Dao Sect must give us a reasonable explanation, or we will not let this go!”


Chen Xuan’s eyes swept over the crowd. “You want an explanation? Fine. I’ll give you one you’ll never forget!”

He activated one of the Nine Secrets Words, temporarily boosting his cultivation to the Profound Death Realm.

Gripping the Tetanus Blade, Chen Xuan vanished again.

“Swish!”
“Swish!”

Sword flashes appeared one after another.

In just a few breaths, the rusty Tetanus Blade was drenched in blood.

The bodies of the slain, all wearing expressions of disbelief, fell into pools of their own blood.

In the blink of an eye, every person from Symbol Valley, the Thousand Puppet Sect, Desolate Hall, and other factions who had been clamoring for an explanation lay dead.

Chen Xuan stood amid the carnage, holding his blood-soaked blade. Blood dripped steadily from its edge, pooling on the ground.

His sharp gaze swept over the remaining crowd.

In a voice brimming with dominance, he asked, “Who else needs an explanation?”

What the… big brother!

They just wanted an explanation. Why did you kill them all?

With this kind of "explanation," who would dare ask for another?

The onlookers instinctively stepped back, their gazes shifting toward Yuan Gate for support.

Lu Feng from Yuan Gate stepped forward, saying, “Chen Xuan, your crimes are unforgivable. On the orders of the sect master, I am here to arrest you!”

He revealed his full strength—Samsara Realm!

Qi Lei and the others were shocked.

The last time they saw Lu Feng, he was merely at the peak of the Profound Death Realm.

How had he advanced to the Samsara Realm in just a few months?

What kind of cultivation was this?

Chen Xuan, unfazed, raised his sword and pointed it at Lu Feng.

“You’re welcome to try.”
