The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 782 Holy Son of the Earth Sect
Jin Hongsu pointed at Su Meinan and cursed. Then, she threw seductive glances at the young man in white, whose eyebrows were like paintings, "Young Immortal, you saw what they did to me. You, you must stand up for me!"
The white-clothed man frowned slightly, clearly not blaming Jin Hongsu for her foul language and vulgarity.
"Hmph, we'll find out who's talking nonsense with a simple question. So many people have witnessed it!"
Su Meinan said, hands on her hips, "Everyone, you are all witnesses. Please give a clear judgment on who is right and who is wrong!"
"That's right, the little girl with the big eyes is right. This red-clothed woman did indeed arrive riding that horse servant wearing horsehide!"
"This red-clothed woman is very arrogant. She beat and scolded the horse servant along the way. It's truly outrageous!"
"Although a horse servant can't be called a human, it's still a living being. Such treatment is indeed excessive!"
Although the Immortal Hidden World cultivates detachment, these young talents are still young and their sense of justice hasn't been completely worn away by cultivation. They stood up one after another, accusing Jin Hongsu.
Jin Hongsu's face turned red and white. The white-clothed man frowned even deeper, thinking to himself, could it be that I've done a good deed that went wrong?
However, at this moment, Chen Xiao suddenly spoke, "I was the one who turned her into a horse servant. What are you going to do about it?"
As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned. What did this person mean? So arrogant!
He was clearly in the right, but now that he said this, it seemed like he was in the wrong.
The white-clothed man said, "I am Li Shouzhen, a holy son of the Earth Sect. I misunderstood you just now. Please don't take offense!"
As soon as he said this, there was an uproar in the crowd.
This person was actually the holy son of the Earth Sect!
It should be known that the entire southern region was led by the Earth Sect, and the Earth Sect's holy son was naturally the best of the young talents.
Li Shouzhen heard the whispers from the crowd. He didn't show much expression on the surface, but a hint of smugness appeared in his eyes.
Although he was ashamed to admit it, he really enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention.
"Heh, so what if you're the holy son of the Earth Sect? You dare to ruin my plans, do you think you've lived too long?"
Chen Xiao said coldly.
Everyone was dumbfounded. This person was too bold, wasn't he? How dare he speak to the holy son of the Earth Sect like that?
And don't forget, this is the Earth Sect's territory!
Even if the crowd couldn't see through Chen Xiao's strength, he was only courting death to dare to fight the holy son of the Earth Sect in the Earth Sect's territory!
Jin Hongsu laughed triumphantly in her heart. After hearing about the identity of the Earth Sect's holy son, she thought she was doomed this time. Who knew that this black-robed man would bring about his own death?
As expected, being with an idiot would only make you an idiot. Su Meinan was an idiot, so what kind of person could she be mixed up with!
"What do you mean by this?"
Li Shouzhen frowned and asked Chen Xiao.
He wasn't very angry. He just wondered where this person came from. Could it be that he hadn't even heard of the name of the Earth Sect's holy son?
"It doesn't mean anything. You ruined my plans, which made me very unhappy. Now you have two choices. Either disappear from my sight immediately, or exchange a few blows with me. I want to see what abilities you, the holy son of the Earth Sect, have!"
Chen Xiao said indifferently.
"Heh, if that's the case, then I'll have to learn from you. However, may I ask your name?"
Li Shouzhen held his longsword and swung it, making a crisp sound.
"Li Beiwu, holy son of the True Martial Sect!"
As he spoke, Chen Xiao also took out a longsword, but it wasn't his Yitian Sword. It was a longsword he had casually taken when he left the True Martial Sect.
The longsword had the mark of the True Martial Sect, which further confirmed his identity as the holy son of the True Martial Sect.
"Holy son of the True Martial Sect? Has anyone heard of the True Martial Sect?"
"No, who knows what kind of wild sect it came from?"
"I seem to have heard my master mention that the True Martial Sect is just a small, weak sect. Where did their holy son get the courage to compare himself with the holy son of the Earth Sect?"
The crowd discussed, wearing disdainful expressions. They all felt that 'Li Beiwu' was committing suicide.
In this way, Chen Xiao's purpose was achieved.
He didn't want to reveal his identity, so he would strengthen 'Li Beiwu's' identity.
Therefore, the more outrageous things were, the more he had to do them… Anyway, Li Beiwu did them, what did it have to do with him, Chen Xiao?
"Heh, so you're a junior brother from the True Martial Sect. Very well, today, I, Li Shouzhen, the holy son of the Earth Sect, will come and learn your True Martial Swordplay!"
As the holy son of the Earth Sect, Li Shouzhen had naturally heard of the True Martial Sect.
However, he had never taken such a small sect as the True Martial Sect seriously. After all, the strongest expert in the True Martial Sect was only at the Transformation Void Realm.
And he was also at the Transformation Void Realm!
"True Martial Swordplay, Sword Breaking Style!"
Chen Xiao formed a sword with two fingers, and true essence power transformed into sword energy, driving the longsword. It turned into a rainbow in the air and went straight to Li Shouzhen.
This was the True Martial Sect's swordplay, and also the only True Martial Sect's swordplay that Chen Xiao had mastered. After all, Li Beiwu's life was gone after using this move.
"Hmm? True essence power? You actually have the strength of the Transformation Void Realm?"
Li Shouzhen's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.
According to his understanding of the True Martial Sect, Transformation Void Realm experts were all elders of the sect. How could a mere holy son have the strength of the Transformation Void Realm?
A holy son represents talent potential, and represents the future, not the present!
Including him, the holy son of the Earth Sect, it was the same!
Therefore, Li Shouzhen was extremely surprised that Li Beiwu could use true essence power.
However, he didn't have time to think too much. The longsword was already flying in front of him, and he hurriedly raised his sword to block it. The gushing true essence power turned into a barrier, blocking in front of him.
Although the other party could use true essence power, Li Shouzhen wasn't afraid at all. After all, he could also use true essence power.
However, the next moment, Li Shouzhen was dumbfounded.
He only heard a cracking sound. The longsword that flew over directly pierced through his barrier. His barrier, which was transformed from true essence power, was like paper, and couldn't be considered an obstacle at all…
True essence power and true essence power were also different!
When Chen Xiao's true essence power was first produced, it could be compared to the demon race's Transformation Void Realm, and the demon race's Transformation Void Realm was much stronger than the human race's Transformation Void Realm.
In addition, Chen Xiao had just broken through, and his true essence power had been strengthened again. How could Li Shouzhen resist it?
Swish… clang—
Li Shouzhen's longsword fell to the ground, and Li Shouzhen's right hand also fell to the ground.
This scene was exactly the same as the scene where Chen Xiao snapped Jin Hongsu's right hand just now…
"Ah—"
Li Shouzhen covered his severed wrist and let out a low groan. A painful expression appeared on his face.
Everyone around was dumbfounded. This, how could this be?
The dignified holy son of the Earth Sect couldn't even beat the holy son of a sect whose name they had never heard of?
And that sect whose name they had never heard of actually produced a Transformation Void Realm holy son?
This, this, this… this was truly a peerless genius! Why hadn't such a talent been recruited by the Earth Sect?
Everyone's heads were full of question marks, and they were all dumbfounded.
"Do you want to continue fighting… You've already lost!"
Chen Xiao looked at Li Shouzhen and said indifferently.
However, these words sounded like a provocation to the passersby!
But fortunately, Li Shouzhen wasn't a passerby, nor was he someone without a brain.
Based on that sword just now, he knew that he wasn't this 'Li Beiwu's' opponent.
"Junior Brother Li's strength is outstanding. I, Li Shouzhen, admit defeat!"
Li Shouzhen gritted his teeth and stared fiercely at Chen Xiao, "Let's meet at the Genius Battle! Farewell!"
After saying that, he reached out and sucked his severed hand into his hand. Then, he turned into a stream of light and disappeared on the road.
The corners of Chen Xiao's mouth rose, and he smiled slightly. He didn't stop Li Shouzhen from leaving.
Cutting off one of his hands was already the limit. If he really killed the other party, the Earth Sect wouldn't sit idly by.
At that time, things would become troublesome, which would be a loss for Chen Xiao.
"You, you, you…"
Jin Hongsu pointed at Chen Xiao, her eyes filled with fear, "You're not…"
She wanted to say that you're not Li Beiwu, because she knew that Li Beiwu was Su Meinan's clan-killing enemy. If this person was really Li Beiwu, how could Su Meinan be with him?
However, after she said the three words 'you're not', she felt a tightening in her throat and couldn't say anything anymore.
Because Chen Xiao knew what she was going to say, he naturally wouldn't let her say it.
"Let's go."
Chen Xiao said to Su Meinan indifferently.
Su Meinan pursed her lips and followed behind Chen Xiao in fear.
She never expected that Chen Xiao would dare to cut off one of the Earth Sect's holy son's hands… This person was really too bold.
However, he was also really powerful!
After the two figures disappeared on the road, Jin Hongsu finally tilted her neck and died.
All the way north, after walking for two incense sticks' time, the two arrived at the largest city in the southern region of the Immortal Hidden World, Houtu City.
As expected of the largest city, the city gate tower was tall and majestic, much stronger than the low city walls of Zhenwu Town.
And Chen Xiao noticed that some complicated array patterns were also engraved on the city walls, which seemed to be used to defend against enemies.
This made Chen Xiao a little puzzled. In this Immortal Hidden World, everyone was diligently cultivating detachment and there was no war. Who were these city walls and defensive arrays for?
Chen Xiao asked Su Meinan. Unsurprisingly, Su Meinan widened her eyes, her face full of surprise: "What? What array patterns? Where are the array patterns? So the city walls are used to defend against enemies? I thought they were just for grandeur and beauty…"
"…"
Chen Xiao, "I didn't say anything!"
This girl not only didn't have much experience, but her IQ was also a little precarious. Chen Xiao once again felt that he had chosen the wrong follower…
