Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1899 (Raw 2000): It’s Fine for the Strong

One colossal, burning palm covering the sky pressed three Blood Dragon Guards to the ground with the flip of a hand.

Such a scene shocked everyone.

The Blood Dragon Guards!

That was the law enforcement unit of the Dragon’s Gate. They were directly controlled by the Dragon’s Gate. Their standing was higher than that of the Heavenly Dragon Palace.

The seven outer sect palaces of the Dragon’s Gate were each equal to a peak Rank 6 sect. Naturally, the Dragon’s Gate upper echelon needed an organization to keep them in check and balance them out.

Otherwise, if the outer sect palaces developed further and turned around to threaten the inner sect, the Dragon’s Gate would truly be digging its own grave.

The Blood Dragon Guards were a thorn that came from the Dragon’s Gate, stabbed deep into every outer sect palace.

The stronger the outer sect palaces grew, the harder to pull this thorn out of their flesh. The Blood Dragon Guards had a reputation for fighting prowess that bordered on taboo.

Every Blood Dragon Guard was extremely strong, possessing great authority to enforce the rules in the various outer palaces.

Today, Xiao Chen sent three Blood Dragon Guards flying with one palm strike. This would definitely kick up a great commotion.

However, Xiao Chen did not care about the future, just the present, purely living in the moment.

The people who saw this scene were all startled. It was not because Xiao Chen dared to anger the Blood Dragon Guards.

Instead, it was because Xiao Chen first defeated seven Holy Venerates, then another three Blood Dragon Guards as a middle-stage Star Venerate.

Strong!

Only this word appeared in all the inner palace disciples’ minds. Xiao Chen was simply ridiculously strong.

“Boom!” The three Blood Dragon Guards struggled to get up from the ground, looking extremely sullen.

Although the three looked like they were in a sorry state, they were not severely injured. After all, they were peak early-stage Holy Venerates and were part of the Blood Dragon Guards. They enjoyed better resources than the core disciples, having direct access to the Cultivation Techniques and Martial Techniques of Ancestor Dragon City.

The Blood Dragon Guards were older, and their strength was far from what an ordinary Holy Venerate’s could compare to.

In addition, Xiao Chen had not used his full power when executing Firmament’s Rage. All he used was the first step of Firmament’s Rage, not activating the two Dao imprints on his palm. Hence, he had not fully displayed Firmament’s Rage’s might.

“Whoosh!”

Scarlet flames blazed in the eyes of two of the Blood Dragon Guards, like they had activated some kind of Secret Technique. Then, they spread out their killing Qi even more terrifyingly.

Xiao Chen smiled coldly, not showing any fear.

The atmosphere turned tense again. The air seemed to become volatile as if it would ignite with just a spark and explode.

When the four faced off, it was much scarier than when Xiao Chen faced the six core disciples.

The broad foot of the mountain fell silent. No one dared to speak.

This continued for a long time. The Blood Dragon Guard in the middle felt fear as he looked Xiao Chen in the eye. After hesitating for a moment, he stretched out his hands to the two slightly rash Blood Dragon Guards at his sides.

“Lead the way. I’ll go to the Law Enforcement Hall myself!” Xiao Chen said indifferently without any expression. This matter needed to come to a conclusion. He would have to deal with it sooner or later. As such, he might as well take the initiative to face it.

“Sorry for the offense.”

Upon hearing what Xiao Chen said, the middle Blood Dragon Guard released his bated breath. The flames in the eyes of the two Blood Dragon Guards at his sides slowly dissipated.

Such an attitude was the fear and respect for the strong.

After the first attack, the three no longer behaved as they had before, aloof and overbearing. The three did not dare to scold Xiao Chen. They turned around and led the way for him.

“Whoosh!”

Electric light flashed as Xiao Chen followed closely behind. He appeared calm and not flustered at all.

The surroundings were quiet. Only when the four were far away did various discussions start.

“It was Firmament’s Rage! Xiao Chen executed Firmament’s Rage earlier. It was exactly as described in the secret manual. No, wait, it was even more horrifying than described.”

“Aside from the First Palace Master, no one has managed to practice it for the past one thousand years. To think that Xiao Chen succeeded! Furthermore, he easily executed it.”

“No wonder Xiao Chen could smash down three Blood Dragon Guards with one palm strike. However, he seems to be at only Small Perfection. He still has not infused his Great Dao into it.”

“If Xiao Chen could infuse his Great Dao already, that would be too heaven-defying. That is absolutely impossible.”

“However, no matter what, after going to the Law Enforcement Hall, he will be skinned even if he is not in the wrong.”

“How tragic! Previously, two inner palace disciples violated the sect rules, and they had to cripple their cultivation by ten years.”

Eventually, the discussion turned from shock to sighs. Nothing good would come from going to the Law Enforcement Hall.

However, in reality, Xiao Chen’s treatment in the Law Enforcement Hall was different from what everyone expected.

After the three Blood Dragon Guards led Xiao Chen to the Law Enforcement Hall, they immediately reported his matter to their superiors.

Xiao Chen injured seven Holy Venerates below the Mission Hall and even attacked the Blood Dragon Guards. He was truly bold.

The news traveled up the chain of command quickly, startling the Law Enforcement Hall’s upper echelon.

“What! This person is still only a middle-stage Star Venerate?!”

This matter immediately caused a huge commotion in the Law Enforcement Hall. It even startled the Vice Hall Master into making a personal appearance. This person normally did not ask about daily matters but was very strict in his handling of things.

The Law Enforcement Hall’s Vice Hall Master had the family name Li. He was a stocky, old man with a thick beard and an extremely fiery temper.

The moment Vice Hall Master Li heard about Xiao Chen’s matter, he took over.

Vice Hall Master Li did not meet Xiao Chen face to face. Instead, he hid in the shadows and observed Xiao Chen, who was waiting to be judged.

A smile slowly appeared on Vice Hall Master Li’s face, appearing somewhat playful.

While Xiao Chen awaited judgment, no expression whatsoever could be made out on his face. He merely took a sip of tea and rested.

Beyond that, there was no movement at all.

After waiting for a while, Xiao Chen started cultivating, not moving from start to end.

“Interesting. He takes my Law Enforcement Hall as his residence. To think that he directly cultivated here.” Vice Hall Master Li smiled. However, no one knew what the smile meant, whether it was happiness or anger.

Suddenly, Xiao Chen opened his eyes and looked in a certain direction.

Vice Hall Master Li’s expression changed slightly. He dismissed the people around him and said indifferently, “He actually discovered me.”

“Whoosh!”

In the next moment, Vice Hall Master Li’s figure flashed, and he arrived directly in the room where Xiao Chen was.

“Boom!” Pressure immediately appeared in the average-sized room, which Xiao Chen found somewhat unbearable.

That was not a Sovereign Personage Will. It was Vice Hall Master Li’s Dragon Might. Despite his strong cultivation, he did not bother to suppress this Dragon Might, casually letting it leak out.

Xiao Chen sized up the newcomer and said seriously, “Senior is really patient, revealing yourself after six hours. This junior is honored.”

“Humph! You are in my Law Enforcement Hall, and you are still not showing any remorse. It looks like you are not interested in your core disciple identity.”

Vice Hall Master Li got irritated. Immediately, that Dragon Might rippled, and a True Dragon’s roar rang out.

The sound echoed in Xiao Chen’s ears, penetrating deep into his soul and spreading fear in his mind.

Xiao Chen guarded his heart and easily cleared out this fear. Then, he looked at this Vice Hall Master Li with a terrifying aura and a great background.

He said softly, “Why should I feel remorse? I’ve done nothing wrong. Furthermore…”

Xiao Chen paused for a moment and released an overwhelming aura. Then, he continued, “Furthermore, do right and wrong really matter? If there is any fault with me, it would be that I am too strong, and they are too weak.”

“Boom!”

The moment Xiao Chen’s Dragon Might appeared, it cleanly swept away the Dragon Might that Vice Hall Master Li casually sent out.

Vice Hall Master Li’s serious expression suddenly vanished, and he started laughing, “Good! Good! Good!”

Vice Hall Master Li said good three times in a row. Then, he said loudly, “Well said. Why judge right and wrong? Only the weak require rules. The rules of the sect have always been set by the strong! Hehe! I would even say that it was a great beating, very beautiful. Overestimating their strength and mocking someone else. Then, they got beaten up. They definitely deserved it.

“Hahaha! Had you beaten up those three Blood Dragon Guards as well, it would have been even better.”

Xiao Chen’s heart skipped a beat. I gambled right!

As long as I have sufficient potential, I can ignore the rules and discipline.

“I think you have a good chance of becoming a heaven-class core disciple. I also think that you can enter Ancestor Dragon City. The current core disciples all boast of their strength and their incredible backgrounds. However, this old man does not think much of them. They do not have any temper. Even if they entered Ancestor Dragon City, they would amount to nothing.”

Vice Hall Master Li appeared to be very straightforward. He showed extreme disdain for the other core disciples.

Xiao Chen handled the situation calmly. Although there were some differences from his expectations, things were easier to handle than he had initially thought. However, this was a good thing and did not cause any problems.

“In the future, if you do not like someone, just beat him up. Hehe! Even if you beat up the Blood Dragon Guards like a dog someday, this old man will protect you and guarantee your entry to Ancestor Dragon City. Haha!” Vice Hall Master Li spoke excitedly, directly giving Xiao Chen permission to beat up anyone he wanted in the Heavenly Dragon Palace.

“However, I still have to put on a show. I’ll declare that you are prohibited from entering closed-door cultivation for one month and have three months of stipend deducted. You should go and do some missions; don’t appear in the sect for now. What do you think?”

The Law Enforcement Hall’s Vice Hall Master used a negotiatory tone, not treating Xiao Chen as an outsider at all.

“That is fine with me. I was thinking the same.”

“Hahaha! Great! It is decided, then. Let’s go. Let’s have a few drinks first. To think that you even managed to practice Firmament’s Rage. How rare! How rare!”
