Chapter 7393
Azure Dragon Force
"court death."
The cold words spilled from between his teeth, and Xiao Chen's figure suddenly vanished from the spot, leaving only a faint afterimage!
In just a few breaths, he appeared atop a small hill near the villa.
On the mountaintop platform, seven figures sat cross-legged, their auras deep and unfathomable... One of them was the pilot of the helicopter.
These seven people were all powerful cultivators, especially the one in the middle, whose aura was powerful and domineering, even stronger than Duanmu Jue who had been killed earlier!
The seven were clearly not expected Xiao Chen's counterattack to be so violent and swift. A look of astonishment flashed across their faces, and then an intense killing intent suddenly erupted like a cold wave!
"You've come at the perfect time."
Xiao Chen snorted coldly, his left hand forming a sword shape with his fingers, and slashed at the driver in mid-air!
"call out……"
An invisible wind blade shot through the air and instantly grazed the driver's neck!
"Pfft!"
Blood spurted out, the head flew into the air, and scalding blood sprayed onto the bluestone slab, blooming into a horrifying blood flower. The driver's body crashed to the ground, not even having time to let out a scream.
The other six reacted extremely quickly. Almost the instant their companion was killed, they transformed into six afterimages and pounced like ghosts, instantly surrounding Xiao Chen in the center!
In the distance, the sound of helicopter explosions had not yet subsided, and towering flames illuminated half the sky; atop the mountain, six figures exuded intertwined auras, their chilling killing intent pressing down like a tangible force, making the air thick and heavy.
The leader was a pale-faced, sinister-looking middle-aged man. He stared intently at Xiao Chen, a cruel smile spreading across his lips, his voice hoarse like a viper's tongue:
"Xiao Chen, we originally intended to leave you with no trace in the explosion, as a gesture of respect. Since you insisted on courting death, then don't blame us!"
"Next, I'll make you experience... what it means to wish you were dead!"
Before he finished speaking, his palm surged with a chilling internal force, and a jet-black palm wind tore through the air, carrying a bone-corroding and heart-eating coldness, heading straight for Xiao Chen's face!
Xiao Chen's gaze swept indifferently over the six people who were blocking his way, his expression completely unmoved.
These six people were indeed quite powerful, especially the old man on the left wearing a dark blue robe. His aura was as deep and stagnant as a deep pool, clearly indicating that he was a top expert in the middle of the Heavenly Ranking, far surpassing the other five.
But in his eyes, it was still utterly vulnerable.
He didn't rush to attack, but instead spoke calmly, his voice eerily so: "Did the New Martial Arts Association send you?"
The old man in the dark blue robe snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with murderous intent: "Why should a dying man know too much! Just remember, this place is where you will die!"
“There have always been many who wanted to take my life.” Xiao Chen’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Unfortunately, they all ended up as withered bones beneath my feet.”
"Arrogant!" the old man roared, then nodded slightly to the five people beside him. "Take him down! Dead or alive!"
"kill!"
Six figures suddenly sprang up, their true energy surging, like six arrows released from a bow, tearing through the air from six directions and instantly sealing off all of Xiao Chen's escape routes!
"Wind Slash!"
An elderly man in gray on the left was the first to attack. His long, narrow, curved sword rang out of its sheath, its light as dazzling as a bolt of lightning, and he slashed toward Xiao Chen's throat with a shrill whistle!
Where the blade passed, it plowed a trench half a foot deep into the ground, and the chilling aura of the blade caused the surrounding air to frost over!
This slash was ruthless and cunning, with each move potentially fatal; it was clearly the ultimate killing technique of the New Martial Arts Association!
A glint flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes, and his footwork suddenly changed. His figure slid several feet to the side like a ghost... The sharp blade grazed his neck, and the wind it generated stung his skin, but it did not harm him in the slightest.
At the same time, Xiao Chen's right hand formed a claw, and against the still-lingering wind of the blade, he fiercely reached for the gray-robed old man's wrist that was holding the blade!
"Swoosh!" Five fingers, like iron pincers forged from black steel, firmly gripped the other's wrist!
The gray-robed elder's pupils constricted sharply, his face filled with horror... Faced with six people surrounding him, this kid actually dared to fight back so fiercely?!
He reacted with lightning speed, his right leg surging with true energy, like a steel whip whistling through the air, sweeping across Xiao Chen's waist and abdomen! The power contained in this kick was enough to shatter metal and stone!
"Without that extreme Yin protecting you, let's see how arrogant you can be now!" The old man grinned menacingly.
The leg whistled in, about to hit!
Xiao Chen remained expressionless, casually raising his left arm to block in front of his waist and abdomen.
"You're courting death!" The gray-robed old man's sinister smile grew even wider.
"Oh!"
A dull thud as legs and arms crossed exploded out!
Immediately following was a crisp, teeth-grinding cracking sound...
"Crack!"
The smile on the old man's face froze instantly as a piercing pain shot through his calf, causing him to let out a scream!
With a single, powerful impact, Xiao Chen actually broke his leg bone!
"It's my turn."
The cold words rang in his ears, and Xiao Chen suddenly tightened his grip on his wrist!
"Pfft...!"
Blood gushed out! Xiao Chen had ripped off the old man's entire right arm!
Just as the scimitar slipped from his hand and fell, Xiao Chen caught it in mid-air with his left hand!
His eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he instantly channeled his divine energy into the blade, his arm jerking violently...
"call out!"
The scimitar transformed into a silver lightning bolt, carrying an incomparably violent force, instantly piercing through the old man's chest! Before the force had dissipated, it sent the old man flying backwards, carrying his corpse with a "thud," and pinned it firmly to the mountain wall behind him!
Blood meandered down the rock wall, staining a large area of bluestone red, a shocking sight!
The remaining five people's expressions changed drastically, their pupils shrinking to the size of pinpoints. Their previous contempt was completely shattered by shock... This kid's strength was more than ten times greater than the intelligence estimates!
"Let's go together! Let's fight!"
The four men exchanged glances, each seeing fear and determination in the other's eyes. With a shout in unison, they unleashed their palms simultaneously!
The four streams of true energy instantly intertwined into a net, and the palm shadows overlapped one after another, sweeping over like a monstrous wave. Wherever they passed, dust flew up and stones were scattered. Their momentum was several times greater than before!
The dense palm shadows blocked all of Xiao Chen's escape routes, making him appear to outsiders as if he were trapped in a desperate situation with no way to escape!
The old man in the dark blue robe remained standing with his hands behind his back, observing coldly, a hint of disdain even playing on his lips.
These four companions are fellow disciples who have been practicing the core of the New Martial Arts Tournament, the "Four Symbols Combined Attack Secret Technique," since childhood. When combined, their power is multiplied, and they can even fight against a mid-level expert on the Heavenly Ranking. Dealing with a mere kid is more than enough!
But as he watched the overwhelming palm strikes, Xiao Chen stood still, a cold sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.
"Since you are so eager to die and want to witness true power..."
"Then I'll show you what the Heaven-Reaching Palm Technique is!"
"Azure Dragon Force!"
The three words fell like a thunderclap!
The Azure Dragon Force, a manifestation of vital energy, is like a dragon leaping from the abyss, its power layered upon layer, its might boundless! Upon mastery, it can summon a real dragon shadow, capable of crushing armies across ranks, becoming invincible! (End of Chapter)
