Chapter 1293:
The one even more shocked at the sudden change was Feng Ziyi. Although he said that he looked down on Yao Manlan's Charm Techniques, in his heart, he always kept his guard up. Yao Manlan's Charm Techniques ranked within the top twenty of the Eros Demon Race.
Many Martial Emperors would have a headache dealing with her. Now, she actually lost to a brat from the Kunlun Realm. How could that not shock Feng Ziyi?
After shock, Feng Ziyi felt overwhelming rage. With this Xiao Chen managing to resist and escape his grasp, how could he not be enraged?
"Go and die!"
With a flash, Feng Ziyi turned into a gust of wind, vanishing without a trace, indiscernible.
This was the innate ability of the bloodline of the Winged Demon's Demon Monarch, Wind Wings Evasion, which allowed him to conceal himself in the wind and raise his speed, hiding from others.
Xiao Chen scanned the place with his Spiritual Sense but could not find Feng Ziyi at all. So, with a thought, he extended his Saber Domain to the space within one kilometer of himself.
Instantly, Feng Ziyi's figure, which was as quick as the wind, became plainly visible to Xiao Chen's eyes, unable to hide.
"Ah!"
Xiao Chen flung out his right hand, which was carrying Yao Manlan, and tossed her at Feng Ziyi, causing her to scream in horror.
Feng Ziyi, who had executed Wind Wings Evasion, revealed an unusual expression in his eyes. How could it be? He actually guessed the direction that I headed in.
However, Feng Ziyi did not have any time to think. His lightning-quick strike would land on Yao Manlan soon.
"Damn it!"
Feng Ziyi revealed himself and moved to dodge Yao Manlan. He could tell that there was a strong force on her body, so he could not catch her but only avoid her.
After his killing move was broken, he felt very frustrated. How could he care about Yao Manlan at this point? He did not care about what injuries she would suffer when she landed.
Feng Ziyi's figure flashed again as he executed Wind Wings Evasion once more. This time, he was even more careful. He merged with the wind entirely, not revealing any of his aura at all, intending to deal Xiao Chen a heavy blow in silence.
By using this Wind Wings Evasion, Feng Ziyi had managed to kill several Martial-Emperor-level Demonic Beasts. He was confident that the earlier situation was just a coincidence.
However, Feng Ziyi was wrong. No matter how careful he was, within Xiao Chen's Saber Domain—the one kilometer around Xiao Chen—he had nowhere to hide.
"Bang!" Xiao Chen charged over and directly kicked Feng Ziyi down.
The heavy kick knocked Feng Ziyi to the ground, causing him to face-plant. Plenty of dust and dirt entered his mouth.
This kick was too fast; Feng Ziyi landed even before Yao Manlan did. Upon seeing that Yao Manlan was about to hit the ground nearby, Xiao Chen casually kicked with his left leg. She vomited a mouthful of blood, sent flying again before she landed.
Xiao Chen trampled on the incredibly arrogant Feng Ziyi and casually kicked away that insidious girl.
Such a scene dumbfounded the three surviving seniors of the Sky Dome Palace, sinking them into complete disbelief.
Ying Yue, who worried about Xiao Chen's strength before they came, could not even react.
After Yao Manlan landed and tumbled a few times, wounds covered her body. She showed a pained expression, her eyes filled with horror as she looked at Xiao Chen.
All along, Yao Manlan had been the one to play with men in the palm of her hand. There had never been a moment like this when she felt so much horror towards a man.
Right now, she only had one thought in her head: flee!
However, how could Xiao Chen give Yao Manlan a chance to flee? After the deaths of more than a thousand Martial Sages of the Sky Dome Palace, how could he let her come and go as she pleased? There would be no such thing happening!
At some point in time, the Lunar Shadow Saber appeared in Xiao Chen's hand. A resplendent saber light flickered, and the scabbard came out by itself.
"Whoosh!" The scabbard flew like a meteor, leaving a trail of cold purple light. "Pu ci!" Amid a spurt of blood, it pierced through Yao Manlan's back and pinned her to the ground.
These two Demons were still very useful. They both hid many secrets on them. Xiao Chen never thought of just letting them go so simply.
"Ah!"
The electric light flickering on the scabbard made Yao Manlan scream in pain before she lost the ability to move. Eros Demons were not good at combat in the first place. After such a blow, she would not be able to stand up again without external help.
As for Feng Ziyi, who was now under Xiao Chen's foot, Xiao Chen did not bother saying anything to him. Xiao Chen raised his saber, preparing to cripple this person immediately.
"Trying to kill me? You are not strong enough!" Feng Ziyi roared.
"Pu ci!" Two purple, flesh wings unfurled on his back. These wings flapped and kicked up a strong wind, forcing Xiao Chen to move back despite himself.
Ying Yue frowned and exclaimed, "Oh no! He is activating his royal bloodline."
Even though Xiao Chen's saber contained an extremely strong force, he did not lose control of it. With a thought, the rapidly descending saber stopped just as the tip touched the ground.
Xiao Chen did not waste any energy at all. Feng Ziyi, who rolled over and got back to his feet, turned grave when he saw this scene.
"You are the bladesman who killed my servant?" Seeing the saber in Xiao Chen's hand and the saber intent in his eyes, Feng Ziyi immediately guessed his identity.
Xiao Chen said calmly, "If your servant was the fool that came to Qingyun Peak, then it is me."
"In that case, you can die now!"
Feng Ziyi snorted coldly and spread his wings, charging at Xiao Chen.
After Feng Ziyi unfurled his flesh wings, his aura became scarily strong. After he realized that Xiao Chen could find him when he used Wind Wings Evasion, he stopped using it.
Feng Ziyi charged forward and started a close-quarters battle with Xiao Chen, using his hands as the scariest weapon possible.
Feng Ziyi's hands could actually clash with the Lunar Shadow Saber, which contained a strong saber intent. Furthermore, he attacked extremely rapidly, looking like just flashes of light moving continuously in a cycle.
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
Feng Ziyi's palms and Xiao Chen's saber clashed intensely, giving off melodious metallic sounds. Spatial tears appeared all around, space looking as if it would crumble at any moment.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. The other party's speed was actually faster than his.
This was the first time Xiao Chen met with someone in the same generation who was faster than him. After unfurling the flesh wings on his back, Feng Ziyi was like a completely different person.
The Demons of the Demonic World's royalty could not be underestimated once they turned serious.
However, victory remained in Xiao Chen's grasp. As he faced his opponent, his moves appeared unpredictable. He dealt calmly with the berserk rain of attacks, slowly unraveling them.
Two flames started burning in Xiao Chen's eyes—one gold and one white.
Yin and Yang flames both carried a formless energy as they orbited Xiao Chen. At the same time, he divided his Law Energy into two, which he sent into the flames. A Taiji force field formed under his feet.
Xiao Chen comprehended this mysterious force field not long ago. Coincidentally, he could test it out on this Feng Ziyi. As his footsteps shifted, his entire body reversed liquidly.
Xiao Chen's right hand followed his instinct, blocking all the attacks from Feng Ziyi.
When Xiao Chen combined the Taiji force field and his Saber Techniques, the result was initially filled with openings, which his opponent caught hold of, scratching him bloody. The outcome looked very horrifying.
However, Xiao Chen did not care at all. Having attained a half-step Golden Body, he could ignore all this damage as long as he protected his Heart of an Emperor and the injury was not something major like losing a limb.
"Haha! Not bad. This is the first time I met someone in the same generation who is faster than me," Xiao Chen laughed, unable to restrain the happiness in his heart. Now, he could feel that his Saber Techniques and the Taiji Dao were starting to synchronize.
While these were words of praise, to Feng Ziyi, they were a great humiliation.
After attacking frantically, Feng Ziyi only obtained an evaluation of not bad. Clearly, Xiao Chen was handling this with ease.
"I don't believe that your physical body is as unbreakable as metal!"
The mark on Feng Ziyi's forehead flashed with light. Then, his Movement Technique improved significantly; his figure seemed to riddle the sky as he attacked Xiao Chen relentlessly.
"Good, come!"
Xiao Chen's mind thoroughly entered a state of comprehending. Within the invisible Taiji force field, his movements became even slower.
Although every move of Xiao Chen's was so slow that it was visible, in the eyes of Ying Yue and the others, each one broke down into over a dozen afterimages.
Every afterimage lingered for a long time as if each one was blocking Feng Ziyi's moves.
As the battle continued, Xiao Chen's afterimages layered over each other, leaving thousands—tens of thousands—of afterimages.
"There is an invisible force field around this fellow. My actions seem very fast, but in reality, the force field slows them down significantly. I have to break this force field first."
Feng Ziyi saw that Xiao Chen was growing increasingly stronger the longer the battle went on. From initially being covered in wounds, Xiao Chen could now catch most of his attacks. Hence, Feng Ziyi decided that he needed to forcibly break that force field.
"Winged Demon Finger! Break!"
Feng Ziyi moved back one kilometer and pointed at Xiao Chen. A strong wind blew at the clouds, and an ancient finger descended from the sky towards Xiao Chen.
If one looked carefully, one would discover that this was not actually a finger. Instead, it was a fairly condensed, solid-looking tornado that took the shape of a huge finger and tore through the sky, tearing space as it descended quickly.
This finger was as powerful as a Small Perfection Medial Grade Profound Martial Technique of the Kunlun Realm. It might even be stronger.
"Whoosh!"
The layered afterimages of Xiao Chen merged. The instant they did, he thrust the Lunar Shadow Saber forward and struck the tip of the huge hurricane finger.
"Bang!" Xiao Chen's entire body got thrust back, then went downwards quickly. Feng Ziyi smiled coldly and said, "Trying to clash head-on with me? You are seeking death!"
However, even as Feng Ziyi smiled, he was shocked to discover that Xiao Chen's back was still about seventy centimeters off the ground and did not truly touch the ground.
"Rise!" Xiao Chen shouted as he drove the Taiji force field. This energy slowly lifted him. The saber swayed slightly, and the tornado finger waved like a long snake.
Smiling, he thought to himself, How close! This tornado nearly crippled me. Fortunately, I managed to hold out till the end.
To the others, in the simple scene earlier, Xiao Chen had gone through a life-and-death ordeal.
The Winged Demon Finger had broken Xiao Chen's Taiji force field. In that instant, it shook all his internal organs, causing small tears to appear.
Just as Xiao Chen felt horror, the shattered Taiji force field reformed automatically without him needing to control it. It drew out the remaining Law Energy in his body and started circulating again.
The huge swaying finger kicked up strong winds, shaking even the sky and the ground.
Miniature tornadoes appeared, splitting into hundreds, then thousands, filling the entire sky.
