"Killed the wrong person?"

The three of them exchanged glances, not understanding what Captain Chen was talking about.

Just then, a sinister laugh suddenly echoed through the air.

"Heh heh heh, I told you not to meddle in things, but you wouldn't listen. Fine, it seems I won't be rid of you unless I kill you today!"

Accompanied by a voice like the scraping of a broken gong, a figure shrouded in white robes appeared before them.

The white-robed figure wore his hood low, his face hidden in shadow, making it impossible to discern his features.

"A… a Celestial!"

Vanessa swallowed hard, exclaiming in a loud voice.

Goliath and Vincent's expressions turned grave. Although they had suspected something was off about the nerdy guy, they hadn't dared to imagine he was a Celestial.

After all, in their minds, Celestials were invincible!

And it was only at this moment that they realized Captain Chen had known from the start that their opponent was a Celestial.

Thinking this, the three of them couldn't help but tremble inwardly.

When Chen Xiao had said he would find a Celestial within an hour, they had mocked him, saying it was impossible.

Yet from that moment until now, only a dozen minutes had passed, including the few minutes they had spent fighting the Celestial.

Hiss… terrifying!

These three unruly superpowered individuals once again felt Chen Xiao's terrifying power.

Next, Chen Xiao felt that this matter was no longer related to these three superpowered individuals.

He had let them fight the Celestial earlier to test their strength.

The result… was unsatisfactory. Their combat power was weak, not to mention they were also stupid. That was a problem!

"I'm curious, why are you here?"

Chen Xiao looked at the Celestial opposite him and asked in a calm tone.

The Celestial sized Chen Xiao up. "So you're a member of the Nine Provinces. No wonder you were able to locate me so quickly. Since you can locate me, don't you understand why I'm here?"

"As expected, there's also a dragon vein here?"

Chen Xiao asked.

Vanessa and the other two listened to their conversation as if they were listening to a heavenly book. They could understand the words, but not the meaning.

In reality, the reason Chen Xiao was able to locate the Celestial was because he had overlaid the Nine Provinces' dragon vein distribution map onto a map of the United States.

He discovered that the towns the Celestial had slaughtered earlier were all located where dragon veins were supposed to be.

However, he never knew that the United States also had dragon veins?

"It's not really a dragon vein, just a replica. But it still has some effect, more or less."

The Celestial said, "Kid, I know you're trying to get information out of me, but I'm feeling generous today, so go ahead and ask. After all, it's not easy to find food that can talk."

The Celestial said arrogantly, actually treating Chen Xiao as edible food.

The three superpowered individuals exchanged confused glances.

What? Food?

Captain Chen is just food? Then what are we?

Chen Xiao wasn't surprised and asked, "So this time, you plan to destroy the entire world?"

"The entire world?"

The Celestial chuckled. "That's just your entire world. To us Celestials, it's just a drop in the ocean, like a vegetable garden in your backyard, that's all!"

Surprisingly, this Celestial was quite talkative, and his analogies were quite apt.

"Heh, so to you, we're just leeks in the vegetable garden."

Chen Xiao sneered.

"No, no, no."

The Celestial shook his head. "Not just leeks, maybe lettuce, cabbage, anyway, you get the idea, right?"

"And if we're using a vegetable garden as an analogy, then the living beings of the Nine Provinces are fresh and delicious vegetables. As for other places, whether it's the United States or the country of Tianzhu, they're all rotten vegetable gardens. The vegetables here aren't fresh at all, and their nutritional value is very low… but it's better than nothing!"

"This time will be the last time we descend upon Blue Star. From now on, there won't be any living beings left in this world."

As the Celestial spoke, he seemed to feel a bit sentimental.

"This time, when is it? How long from now?"

Chen Xiao asked.

"I don't know. Even if I did, I wouldn't tell you. I'm just a forerunner, here to test the taste. You can think of me as a taster. Yes, that's it!"

The Celestial chattered on, "The first eight pieces have already been tested, and there's only this last one left. I thought once I finished testing it, my mission would be complete. Who knew I'd run into you unlucky troublemakers."

"So, are you ready? I'm ready to eat you!"

The Celestial's hidden face suddenly flashed with two fierce rays of light. "You're a tough bone, and it doesn't look like you'll be easy to gnaw on, but the tougher the bone, the more delicious it is. I've decided to have a good meal!"

The Celestial commented on Chen Xiao, as if he were appraising a large cabbage in a vegetable garden.

"Heh, since you know I'm a tough bone, then it's still uncertain who will eat whom!"

Chen Xiao said with a sneer.

"Uncertain? Pfft…"

The Celestial couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He clutched his stomach, bending over with laughter. "You little guy, you're really too funny. It's always been Celestials eating the lower realms, never the other way around!"

"Alright, kid, I'll let you have three moves first. Let me see what kind of strength you have that makes you dare to spout such nonsense!"

As he laughed, the Celestial suddenly became serious and said solemnly.

Boom—

As soon as the Celestial finished speaking, Chen Xiao threw a punch, a golden fist light that pierced through the Celestial's body like a meteor.

To say it pierced through was not entirely accurate.

To be precise, it passed through the Celestial's body… and didn't cause any damage to the Celestial!

In fact, the Celestial even absorbed all of the fist light into his body.

Seeing this, Chen Xiao quickly stopped his attack!

He finally understood why they said Celestials were invincible.

It seemed that attacks from the lower realm couldn't harm them at all, but instead would become their nourishment!

After washing the fist light off his hands, the Celestial clicked his tongue. "Truly delicious, you really didn't disappoint me. Come on, you have two moves left, go ahead and use them on me!"

Vanessa and the others felt nervous for Captain Chen. What to do? Even someone as strong as Captain Chen seemed to be helpless against the Celestial!

Just then, Chen Xiao suddenly laughed. "Two moves? I don't need two moves to kill you. One move is enough!"

Before he finished speaking, a golden light flashed in Chen Xiao's hand.

A golden sword more than three feet long appeared in Chen Xiao's grasp.

Chen Xiao had brought out the God-Slaying Sword!
