Chapter 781: Chapter 780 - You Can’t Stop Me

As Xiao Chen charged forward, the thunder became intenser. With a vast momentum, his footsteps sounded like a vast army charging over.

“Clouds follow as the wind blows, Gathering Cloud and Wind!”

A saber light flashed as Xiao Chen used the starting move of the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique, Gathering Cloud and Wind, which he had not used in a long time.

The saber and the sword clashed, giving off a melodious hum. Although the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique was just an Earth Ranked Martial Technique, with the support of the immortal will of thunder, it glowed brightly, not losing out in might.

“Dang! Dang! Dang!”

Due to the light of the will, Sun Liang now lost his advantage entirely. He moved cautiously and thought only of how to flee. He feared that he might end up the stepping stone for a young expert’s rise to fame if he was not careful.

However, the more Sun Liang thought like this, the harder it became for him to flee. Xiao Chen’s aura flourished, and he used the moves of the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique in rapid succession, going through them smoothly like water flowing.

This assault forced Sun Liang to use his Heaven Ranked Martial Techniques, which were barely enough to contend against it. The many people around could not make sense of such a scene.

“Is a will really that powerful? Unexpectedly, Sun Liang’s Heaven Ranked Martial Techniques are insufficient to gain the upper hand.”

“That is normal. Not only can a will suppress an opponent’s state, but it can also raise the user’s strength in a well-rounded manner. Given this, such a scene is normal.”

“Earthly Lightning Tribulation!”

“Heavenly Lightning Tribulation!”

“Divine Lightning Tribulation!”

When the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique’s momentum reached its peak, Xiao Chen unleashed the lightning tribulations. With thousands of lightning bolts, he became like a thunder god dressed in white using his saber light to direct the lightning tribulation.

Waves of horrifying lightning tribulations flashed. After seeing the Divine Lightning in Misleading Fog Lake, he had gained a deeper understanding of lightning tribulations.

The purple talisman in Xiao Chen’s sea of consciousness gave off bright lights. The Immortal scripts flowed, and the three lightning tribulations looked like the actual lightning tribulation of the world. Their heavy oppressiveness and suppressive aura made breathing hard.

Facing the three successive moves, Sun Liang kept retreating. The surrounding buildings instantly shattered into rubble, kicking up a vast dust cloud.

When the final Divine Lightning Tribulation fell, a golden bolt of lightning tore through the sky, knocked Sun Liang’s sword out of his hand, and caused him to vomit blood. Then he crashed on the roof of a pavilion.

It looks like my hunch was right. After I comprehended the immortal will of thunder, my Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique has strengthened considerably, Xiao Chen thought somewhat joyfully.

Previously, he believed he indeed lacked a Saber Technique. However, he now did not feel that the need was that urgent because he still had the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique.

The founder of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion created the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique himself. Moreover, it had plenty of scope for further development. As of now, Xiao Chen already comprehended the will of thunder and had also seen the Divine Grade Lightning Talisman.

He could use his current comprehensions to develop the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique further, altering it into a Saber Technique tailored to himself.

The result of this test on Sun Liang firmed up his belief even more.

Xiao Chen looked up slightly and saw Sun Liang trying to escape. His eyes turned cold, and two intense clumps of electric light burst out under his feet.

They looked like two Azure Dragons leaping out of the vast ocean formed from the hazy electric light. The explosive power from his feet instantly sent Xiao Chen above Sun Liang’s head.

“Bang!”

Xiao Chen directly stomped on Sun Liang’s chest, trampling him down.

A hundred slender Heavenly Sage Laws danced nonstop around Sun Liang. He exploded forth with horrifying energy as he tried to turn the situation back to his favor.

Xiao Chen smiled coldly, and the purple talisman in his sea of consciousness spun quickly. The light of the will merged with the Heavenly Sage Laws in his body, and energy poured wildly into his feet.

Xiao Chen pressed his feet on Sun Liang’s chest. No matter how Sun Liang struggled or screamed, he could not do anything.

Sun Liang howled in humiliation and dissatisfaction. Strong winds blew around them. The energy from the Heavenly Sage Laws seemed like ripples, making space look blurry.

However, nothing worked. Crushed under Xiao Chen’s feet, Sun Liang could not change anything.

Far away, in the area beyond the light of Xiao Chen’s will, the cultivators witnessing this miserable scene gazed at Sun Liang with entirely unsympathetic expressions.

He was a bona fide Martial Sage, a tyrant or overlord of any region they are in, yet a youth trampled on him today. He could not move at all.

Xiao Chen placed the tip of his scabbard on Sun Liang’s forehead, sending killing Qi through the scabbard into Sun Liang’s mind.

The bone-chilling aura scared the struggling Sun Liang into stopping his efforts; he froze.

Xiao Chen said calmly, “Let me ask you again. Why is the Eternal Heavenly Sword School collecting dragon bones on such a large scale?”

As this matter concerned the death of the Thunder Emperor, Xiao Chen had no choice but to use such a forceful method. He had to attack Sun Liang on both the physical and mental aspects.

“I don’t know. This is the instruction of the Supreme Elder. I am not an important person in the Eternal Heavenly Sword School.”

Sun Liang revealed horror in his eyes. His voice quivered as he rambled on.

Xiao Chen’s eyes lit up like a lantern as he stared into the depths of his opponent’s eyes without saying anything. While Sun Liang did not know the complete story, he still would definitely know something.

“Chi!”

Xiao Chen pressed down slightly on his scabbard, and some blood immediately flowed out of Sun Liang’s forehead. He did not say anything and continued to increase the amount of killing Qi.

“I really don’t know. I only know that it seems like it is used to refine…”

Just as Sun Liang was about to say the crucial words, something strange happened. A bright flying sword suddenly shot towards Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen casually caught hold of the sword. However, he did not expect this ordinary-looking sword to have incredible might. When he clutched it, it knocked him away.

The energy of the flying sword was not the Spiritual Energy of the world; neither was it the Quintessence of a cultivator. Instead, it was the energy of the flying sword itself.

Xiao Chen found the aura of the flying sword very familiar. He concentrated, and indeed he discovered that the light on the surface of the flying sword was not Mental Energy, Quintessence, or Vital Qi. It was also not the energy made from the combination of all three. It was Magic Energy!

The Eros Demon Leng Yue once helped him to condense some Magic Energy, which was precisely the same as this light.

This flying sword was a true Magic Treasure.

Xiao Chen looked up and saw a man in a black cloak, who had appeared at some point in time. The man quickly stretched his hand out, and it seemed like an ethereal hand grabbed Sun Liang.

This man slung Sun Liang’s frail body over his own shoulders. Finally, this hooded person summoned the flying sword to return to his sleeve.

He tossed an interesting and appealing handkerchief upwards. Then, his figure flashed and vanished.

The entire set of movements was very fast—so fast that Xiao Chen could not react.

“Damn it!”

Xiao Chen cursed, and his sea of consciousness surged. He looked around and sensed strange fluctuations in a certain direction, so he squinted.

Then, electric light exploded out below Xiao Chen’s feet as he gave chase without hesitation. Every time his feet stepped down, he moved five kilometers.

Electric light exploded, and an Azure Dragon soared as he ran in the air, chasing wildly.

In a few breaths, Xiao Chen left behind the vast Hunluo City.

Fifty kilometers from the city, he frowned and suddenly came to a stop. He circulated his energies for the Kun Peng Fist, and his Heavenly Sage Laws rose.

The sky suddenly turned dark, and a vast shadow blocked all the sunlight.

When the Kun Peng spreads its wings, it resents the sky for being too low!

Xiao Chen roared and spread his hands like they were wings. Then he faced a particular direction and punched, attacking the air without saying anything.

There was nothing there except air.

However, ripples appeared in space, and a figure revealed itself as if all this happened because Xiao Chen attacked. This sight looked very strange.

A loud report resounded, and the mysterious cloaked man could not react in time.

“Ka ca! Ka ca!”

Crunching sounds rang out as the mysterious man’s black cloak ripped into pieces. He vomited blood and went flying back five kilometers.

This punch blasted Sun Liang, who was slung over that mysterious man’s shoulders, into a mist of blood. The inner vest on him did not have any Heavenly Sage Laws infused into it, behaving like a useless ordinary object.

Xiao Chen stretched his hand out and grabbed the spatial ring from the blood mist. When he moved, it was like he teleported and appeared before the mysterious man.

“Haha! Aside from the Deity Race geniuses, I’ve never seen anyone in the younger generation with such vast Mental Energy like you. However, I am very curious. How did you know that my treasure can only move me fifty kilometers each time?”

Now that the mysterious man lost his cloak, he revealed a strangely youthful appearance. He looked very well endowed and elegant, exuding an Immortal Qi.

This man coughed gently and looked at Xiao Chen. As he spoke, he did not show any signs of fear.

Xiao Chen silently raised his guard. He said indifferently, “I don’t know, and I don’t need to know. All I know is that as long as you do not enter the void, I have the confidence to catch up to you.”

“Interesting. Alright, since you already helped me to kill him, I’ll take my leave first!”

Xiao Chen smiled coldly and said, “Do you think you can leave? You, a Jindan Stage cultivator who has not condensed a Yuanying yet, still think you will leave after I have heavily injured you?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

His words stunned that person. Clearly, he had not expected Xiao Chen to make out his identity with one glance. Even so, he still had a calm expression. He said, “You are rather knowledgeable. However, you really can’t stop me!”

Suddenly, this man flung out his hand, and a golden rope appeared. This rope lengthened and flew towards Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen’s expression changed slightly. He could tell that this rope was a Magic Treasure for restraining someone. However, he did not know what rank this Magic Treasure was, so he quickly dodged.

“I may not be able to kill you, but you cannot do anything to me, either. Quickly leave this place. The Eternal Heavenly Sword School is not as simple as you think.”

The mysterious man smiled gently, and the handkerchief from earlier appeared again. Then he tossed it up like before and vanished once again.

The rope was rather difficult to deal with. After it targeted Xiao Chen, he could not shake it off. Furthermore, it was made from some unknown material that was unexpectedly hard to break.

“Ka ca! Ka ca!”

After about fifteen minutes, Xiao Chen circulated all his Quintessence and swung his sharp saber four times and finally managed to cut the rope into five pieces.

The mysterious man in the distance seemed to have felt his Magic Treasure breaking. A pained look appeared on his face. He said sullenly, “This fellow is really ridiculously powerful. He actually succeeded in breaking the Dragon Trapping Rope that Master gave to me to protect my life.”

Xiao Chen had an even more unsightly expression. Unexpectedly, what appeared to be an ordinary rope had held him up for so long.
