Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Wang Feng would not make a move on Xiao Chen himself. Although he was not among the higher circles, he was somewhat well-known at his level.

If these fifty thousand elite troops plus his hundred-strong personal troops could not stop Xiao Chen, even the White Emperor City’s Holy Master could not complain.

Before this, his fifty thousand elite troops had even eradicated groups of Rank 9 Demonic Beasts.

If such a force could not stop Xiao Chen, then it could only be said that he had overwhelming Luck, and it was not his time to die yet.

Xiao Chen, who was in the air, was not in such a good situation. These fifty thousand elite troops had firmly locked in on every movement of his body.

This lock made it hard for him to move about. While it looked like his figure was flickering, moving around without a trace, in reality, his position was fixed within a particular area. He could not charge out.

If this continued, Xiao Chen would be worn down to death here.

When Wang Feng, who was on the tall tower, saw all this, he said softly, “White Robed King Xiao Chen, this is only the beginning. Without being a quasi-Emperor, you cannot break out of my fifty thousand elite troops’ encirclement.”

He continued after a pause, “As long as you assent, I will stop immediately. I will guarantee your safety for one month.

“I’m not afraid to tell you honestly, the Three Holy Masters’ methods are considered quite gentle already. After all, you can be considered their former comrade. If you keep going down this path, then the people after this would not be as amicable.”

Wang Feng’s words were not false. At the very least, those three Sovereign Noble Clans would not show any mercy.

However, no matter how one listened, he sounded hypocritical. All civility had already been torn apart. What was the point of putting on a pretense of righteousness?

If not for the Supreme Sky Emperor standing behind Xiao Chen, if not for fear of the protective measures that the Azure Emperor might have left behind, how could the Three Holy Lands be so careful?

This was originally Xiao Chen’s King conferral ceremony, yet they delayed it for half a year, until Xia Houjue had also accumulated one million military merits, before making an official announcement to the world.

Xiao Chen had accumulated one million military merits with the Martial God Palace by gaining three resource stars without wasting the life of a single person on Dragon Wood Star.

He had battled three descendants of Sovereign Martial Emperors continuously and destroyed a Corpse Refining Pool. Despite all that, this was the result.

These people played tricks behind his back, delaying the King conferral ceremony and causing him to be hunted down endlessly in the Primal Chaos Domain, and used Xia Houjue to suppress him.

Now, these people went even more overboard. They not only let the three Sovereign Noble Clans’ people attack him but also sent people, using the elite troops guarding the border to personally block him.

Even so, Xiao Chen simply treated all these as his test on his path to be conferred King.

However, he could not stand such people and the way they acted. They clearly slapped you but still said self-righteously that the slap was for your own good.

If I did not slap you, you would be killed by others.

My slapping you is giving you face. Not only you cannot appreciate it, but you are even so stubborn. You are simply unreasonable and deserve to be slapped.

Wang Feng felt very confident. As a quasi-Emperor, he believed that such a stance already gave Xiao Chen sufficient face.

He continued speaking, “Have you thought it through? Don’t say that I did not give you any face. This Wang’s patience has a limit as well.”

Xiao Chen’s lips curled up. His figure paused in the air as he laughed.

“City Lord Wang, I really don’t need you to give me any face. You can give it to anyone you want. If you think you can stop me like that, trapping me before killing me, then I can only tell you that you are making a big mistake.”

Right after Xiao Chen spoke, he circulated his Flawless saber Dao.

As a cool breeze blew, Xiao Chen’s clothes and hair fluttered. A melodious tinkling rang out everywhere as if the most wondrous treasured saber in the world was trembling gently.

The originally formless saber Qi in the air turned into saber lights. Not only did they shatter the arrows, but they also targeted the source, breaking every crossbow.

The shattering of the crossbows and the wondrous saber hum blended into an exquisite song.

Without being a quasi-Emperor, one cannot pass these fifty thousand elite troops? In that case, I will show you today!

When using the body as a saber, even clothes and hair can become sharp!

On the rooftops, the crossbows in the hands of the fifty thousand elite troops shattered. The arrows that trapped Xiao Chen finally stop firing out.

Atop the tall tower, Wang Feng’s face sank as he ordered coldly, “My personal guards! Stop him!”

“Clip-clop…! Clip-clop…! Clip-clop…!”

The pounding of horse hooves resounded. Wang Feng’s hundred Secret Treasure-covered personal guards soared into the air on their Qilin Horses.

Black flames lit up on the hooves of the horses.

As these horses stepped into the air, they displayed boundless might. Their blood contained the bloodline of the ancient Holy Beast, the Qilin, and as they roared, they gave off an indistinct Holy Might.

The hundred personal guards were all peak Superior Grade Martial Sages and had yet to reach grandmaster-level Martial Sage.

However, these guards had experienced thousands of battles, treading the line between life and death as they guarded the borders. Together with their full set of Secret Treasure armor, the combat prowess they demonstrated was even greater than ordinary grandmaster-level Martial Sages’.

With these hundred people working together, they could even rival a great grandmaster-level Martial Sage.

The guard troop shot forward, moving like a huge army. Their auras merged into a vast unity that gave off strong pressure.

“Qiang!”

The hundred personal guards all drew their weapons at the same time. Then, they all executed various Martial Techniques, launching them out. They moved as one, not appearing dispersed at all.

Of all the people Xiao Chen had seen, only Di Wuque’s thirteen Keepers could surpass this tacit cooperation.

When dealing with such a combination of Martial Techniques, one had to either find an opening or clash head-on. Aside from those, there was no other alternative.

Xiao Chen gave this massed attack a cursory glance. Then, he immediately eliminated the first option. These hundred people probably had been together for over a century already.

The cooperative attack moved as one, linked with each other. There were no weak points or openings.

Thus, the only option was to use force to destroy technique. Xiao Chen’s physical body had already reached Rank 4 Sage Body by now. Adding in all the divine materials that he had consumed, his damage-absorption and recovery abilities matched those of a quasi-Emperor.

Of course, this referred to an ordinary quasi-Emperor. The Kunlun Realm was vast and boundless. It had some quasi-Emperors who had attained the Golden Emperor Body before advancing to Martial Emperor.

The Golden Emperor Body was difficult to injure with ordinary weapons. Fire and water could not do anything to it. At higher levels, it could even regenerate broken limbs, regrowing bone and flesh.

But that was a very horrifying level. Xiao Chen was still relatively far from it.

A gigantic shadow soared up from behind Xiao Chen. The owner of the figure was not clear; all everyone could see was just the vague silhouette of a divine bird.

Before this bird even spread its wings, it was already gargantuan, as tall as mountains. When it cast a shadow, it covered all one hundred of the personal guards.

“Kun Peng Fist!” When the Kun Peng spreads its wings, it hates the sky for being too low!

“Bang!”

The moment the hundred personal guards approached Xiao Chen, he threw a punch. The Kun Peng spread its wings in that instant, causing his aura to soar and surpass these hundred people’s in front.

Xiao Chen brought out five Dragon Force with this punch, forming the momentum for the Kun Peng spreading its wings. A fist wind swept out, knocking back all hundred of the personal guards.

Although he knocked back the personal guards, they did not devolve into chaos. They pulled on their reins, and the horses neighed. Their auras climbed back up. On the other hand, Xiao Chen had finished executing the Kun Peng Fist, so they suppressed Xiao Chen’s declining aura with theirs.

“Interesting. The Qilin Horses are indeed peak warhorses.”

The ones that Xiao Chen praised were the horses and not the people. If not for the Qilin Horses, even if his punch could not heavily injure the hundred people, he would have at least been able to scatter them.

However, that was all these horses were capable of. If these people wanted to block him, trapping him here, then their thinking was too simplistic.

Today, he had to get out of this Strange Fire City no matter what. He did not need this group of hypocritical people to give him any face, making a pretense of righteousness.

Xiao Chen definitely had to show up at the King conferral ceremony.

With a flash of electricity, Xiao Chen took the initiative to charge over first. He did not show any aftereffects from the head-on clash. On the tall tower, Wang Feng frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Before Wang Feng realized it, Xiao Chen sent out a hundred punches. Five dragon-shaped clumps of energy moved up and down behind him, stirring up the wind and clouds. They roared endlessly, and their might lingered.

Xiao Chen did not hold back at all with these hundred punches. Even he felt somewhat overdrawn. A trace of blood trickled out a corner of his mouth.

On the other hand, the hundred personal guards were all in sorry states. Cracks appeared in the skin under the armor of these hundred cultivators. Blood spilled out, dying the armor red.

These hundred guards leaked blood out of all seven orifices of their heads. Their initial sharpness no longer existed. Their linked auras scattered.

Wang Feng’s expression changed. He shouted, “Personal Guards! Retreat!”

Xiao Chen sneered. How could he let these hundred people withdraw so easily? A beam of divine light descended from the sky.

Myriad Heaven Divine Fist, Deities Descending. Under Xiao Chen’s control, he multiplied his strength by three times, using fifteen Dragon Force. Dragon Might flowed out as his hair fluttered. He fully intended to end these personal guards with this punch.

When this punch flew out, a strong wind blew and space trembled. A scarlet light flashed.

There was only a rustling sound. The already significantly injured armored personal guards turned into a blood mist, their bones crumbling into dust; not a single corpse remained of these people.

The Qilin Horses that served as their mounts moaned miserably as they lay on the ground.

Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and gathered the hundred sets of empty armor into his Universe Ring.

“Good! Xiao Chen! You have truly angered me! Today, this Strange Fire City will be your burial ground!”

Wang Feng’s expression turned dark. When he was advancing to quasi-Emperor, these hundred personal guards had helped him through many difficulties. He felt very grateful to these people. In all these years of guarding the border, they had gained him great merit. They were akin to his left and right hands.

Now, Xiao Chen killed all of them and in such a miserable fashion. In the fight, they got beaten so badly that not even their corpses remained.

Wang Feng hated that he could not personally make a move and kill Xiao Chen now. However, he still resisted the impulse in the end.

“Form the Thousand Dragon Arrow Formation. Wear him down to death!”

The fifty thousand elite troops whose crossbows were broken earlier already switched to longbows. They nocked their arrows and pulled back on the drawstrings. Beams of scarlet light shot into the sky from where the black-armored troops stood.

As the arrows shot out, a huge formation suddenly took shape over Strange Fire City. The arrows turned into many arrow dragons gliding around in the scarlet sky.

The number of arrows built up, and the number of arrow dragons reached a thousand in the blink of an eye.

Scarlet clouds covered the sky, and the air seemed to turn solid.

One of the arrow dragons flew at Xiao Chen. The dragon made of arrows looked sinister as it bared fangs and claws like a living being. Scarlet light flared on the dragon’s body.

Xiao Chen tilted his body, and a bright saber light soared out of him. Then, the saber light crashed into the dragon like a saber chopping down on it.

“Bang!”

The arrow dragon dissipated in an instant. However, unlike before, these arrows did not shatter. With the support of the scarlet light, they had become extremely tough.
