116. The Terrifying Chen Xuan

Ren Yuanzi knew that if he didn’t leave now, he’d likely suffer a humiliating defeat. He tore open the space to make his escape, but Chen Xuan blocked his path, refusing to let him go.

Just then, a cold voice echoed from the sky: “Kid, how dare you injure the Yuan Gate expert! Who gave you such courage?”

Following this, two figures stepped out from the twisted space. One wore a black robe, with hair draped over his shoulders, his face gentle like jade, eyes sparkling like stars, radiating a force that seemed to pierce through life and death.


The other was dressed in white, with fair skin and a seemingly ordinary appearance, but his eyes held a black and white balance, resembling the forces of yin and yang.

Ying Huanhuan gasped, “That’s…”

Ying Xiaoxiao continued for her, “That’s Tian Yuanzi and Di Yuanzi of Yuan Gate.”

“What?! All three Sect Master of Yuan Gate are here!” A strong sense of foreboding rose in Ying Huanhuan’s heart.

Had she known this would happen, she wouldn’t have come, and certainly wouldn’t have brought Yun Yun and Su Rou, causing Su Rou to lose her life.

[Ding! Ying Huanhuan experiences deep remorse. Emotion value +999]

Dressed in white, Tian Yuanzi’s eyes curved in a dangerous arc. “In hundreds of years, you’re the first to kill our elders and injure our Sect Master!”

[Ding! Tian Yuanzi experiences anger. Emotion value +500]

Injure? Hah! I’m here to kill.

Holding the Tetanus Blade, Chen Xuan flashed forward, vanishing from his spot and appearing next to Ren Yuanzi as if he were a ghost. Even Ren Yuanzi didn’t have time to react, only feeling a chill around his neck.

Slash!

In the next second, Chen Xuan swung his sword in a simple yet fierce strike. A violent surge of energy enveloped the Tetanus Blade as it slashed toward Ren Yuanzi’s neck.

[Ding! Ren Yuanzi experiences terror. Emotion value +500]

Weren’t you so arrogant a moment ago? Now you’re afraid? Sorry, it’s too late!

“Stop, now!” Tian Yuanzi shouted, seeing Chen Xuan’s merciless strike.

He extended his hand, creating an energy hand that pierced the void, appearing in front of Ren Yuanzi to block the fatal blow, allowing Ren Yuanzi to narrowly escape death.

Ren Yuanzi glared venomously at Chen Xuan. “Scoundrel! I’ll tear you to pieces!”

Di Yuanzi stepped forward, saying calmly, “Boy, will you end yourself, or should I take care of it?”

Chen Xuan chuckled. “End myself? I don’t know how. Why don’t you demonstrate?”

“You’re asking to die!” Di Yuanzi’s face darkened, and he extended both hands, reaching toward Chen Xuan and the others.

Their goal was clear: kill Ying Huanhuan first, then deal with Chen Xuan!

Seeing this, Chen Xuan quickly bought some restorative energy pills from his system, appearing beside Ying Huanhuan and the others to shield them from Di Yuanzi’s attack.

At that moment, a lightning bolt descended from the sky, shattering Di Yuanzi’s hand attack. Then, Ying Xuanzi, dressed in gray and white robes, emerged from a spatial rift.

“Three Yuan Gate Sect Master attacking my Dao Sect disciples—isn’t that going a bit too far?” His voice, laced with anger, echoed across the Blood Stone Plain.

“Ying Xuanzi, this boy has not only killed our elders but has also injured our Sect Master. How can we let him go?” Di Yuanzi replied calmly, his eyes narrowing.

They knew that with Ying Xuanzi’s arrival, killing Ying Huanhuan was now impossible. So, they shifted their focus to Chen Xuan. Taking him down would still fulfill their mission.

[Ding! Di Yuanzi feels cautious. Emotion value +500]

"That's nonsense! It was Yuan Gate's elders who set a trap to kill me! Chen Xuan only killed them to save me!" Ying Huanhuan immediately stood up to refute, disgusted by their shamelessness.

She’d seen dishonesty, but this was on another level. They’d lived all these years—only to act so disgracefully?


Yun Yun added, “Su Rou… Su Rou was also killed by one of their elders.”

Hearing this, Ying Xuanzi’s expression grew darker as he looked at the three Yuan Gate leaders.

His cold gaze turned frigid. “Did you hear that? My disciples have done nothing wrong!”

With a smirk, Ying Xuanzi added, “If anything, Yuan Gate owes Dao Sect an explanation!”

The three Yuan Sect Sect Masters exchanged glances. Tian Yuanzi’s face turned uneasy. “Ying Xuanzi, regardless, it’s only one disciple on your end, whereas we’ve lost several elders!”

Shamelessness defined. This was it.

“That’s right! This kid Chen Xuan almost hurt me, too!” Ren Yuanzi added with zero shame.

His words stunned the bystanders, who had been watching the intense scene from a distance.

“What?!”

“Did Chen Xuan just injure Ren Yuanzi?”

“Did I hear that right?”

“I heard Chen Xuan’s only at the Profound Life Realm. Ren Yuanzi’s a supreme Samsara stage expert!”

“A transcendent, beaten by a Dao Sect disciple!”

“Yikes! We’ve seen too much now!”

Everyone gasped, awestruck. No one had expected these top-tier experts of the Eastern Xuan Region, rarely ever seen, to gather in Blood Stone Plain and target a Dao Sect disciple.

And the craziest part? Ren Yuanzi had been injured by him!

Could you believe that?

Even Ying Xuanzi chuckled at Ren Yuanzi’s admission. Here was a dignified Yuan Gate Master admitting he was nearly injured by a Dao Sect disciple. Did he have no shame?

Of course, Ying Xuanzi just thought this to himself, not voicing it.

“It was Yuan Gate's elders who attacked our disciples first. Chen Xuan was only protecting them. He did nothing wrong!” Ying Xuanzi asserted firmly.

“So, Ying Xuanzi, does that mean you won’t hand him over?” Tian Yuanzi’s tone grew sharp, with an underlying threat.

“Ha! Tian Yuanzi, do you really think Dao Sect would shy away from a life-or-death struggle with Yuan Gate?”

“With just you?” Tian Yuanzi sneered.

“How about if I join?” At that moment, an elder with white hair and beard, dressed in a blue robe, emerged from a rift in space.

“Old Ghost Qian! You’re still alive!” Tian Yuanzi gritted his teeth.

Qian Tian chuckled, “Had some luck, broke through, and stayed alive.”

The three Yuan Sect masters had assumed Qian Tian had failed his Samsara breakthrough and perished, which gave them a numerical advantage among the top experts.


No matter how many treasures Chen Xuan had, he couldn’t hold off two Samsara stage masters working together.

But now, they faced an unexpected twist. Not only had Qian Tian survived, but he had also succeeded in breaking through.

This put Dao Sect on equal footing with Yuan Sect, especially with Chen Xuan, who had raised his level through a secret technique, though it was unknown how long he could sustain it.

In a direct confrontation, their advantage was gone. If they insisted on fighting, the unpredictable strength of Chen Xuan could mean one of them would end up severely injured or even dead.

The three Yuan Sect masters exchanged tense glances. Ren Yuanzi’s eyes were filled with resentment, as if his entire path of cultivation would be compromised if he didn’t eliminate Chen Xuan.
