"Hmph, still so stubborn when you're about to die?"

Looking at the overwhelming flying swords, the Grand Protector assumed that Chen Xiao was just putting on a brave face. In his opinion, there was absolutely no possibility for Chen Xiao to survive. Even a god wouldn't be able to save his life!

As he spoke, the first flying sword had already pierced Chen Xiao's body.

However, the scene before him caused the Grand Protector's jaw to drop in astonishment.

The flying sword pierced Chen Xiao's body, but it didn't cause any damage at all, not even a trace of blood.

The flying sword only created a ripple on the surface of Chen Xiao's body before disappearing into it.

The first flying sword was like this, and so was the second, the third, the fourth, the fifth…

Until hundreds of flying swords flew into Chen Xiao's body, he remained unscathed.

Everyone present was stunned, their minds in a state of shutdown.

Just moments ago, they had thought that Chen Xiao was almost an invincible existence.

But now, they were certain that Chen Xiao *was* an invincible existence.

Even the formidable Wan Jian Gui Zong (Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin) technique couldn't hurt him. Who could possibly hurt him?

He was already invincible in this world!

No wonder he dared to say that the Four Protectors weren't worthy of him using his trump card. He indeed had the strength to back it up!

You Four Protectors hid yourselves and accumulated flying swords for so long, only to fail to even injure a single hair on Chen Xiao's body. What right did you have to make him use his trump card?

"No, I don't believe it, this is impossible, this is absolutely impossible…"

The Grand Protector muttered as if he were possessed, "I don't believe he can withstand all the flying swords!"

In the blink of an eye, half of the flying swords had already entered Chen Xiao's body… But the Grand Protector still held onto a glimmer of hope. He thought that Chen Xiao's powerful moves must have a limit, a point where he couldn't hold on any longer!

Little did he know, his strongest killing move was like water dissolving into water when it hit Chen Xiao… There was no possibility of Chen Xiao not being able to withstand it.

When all ten thousand flying swords had entered Chen Xiao's body, the Grand Protector completely despaired.

He fell from mid-air with a thud, his face full of dejection.

He couldn't imagine who else in the Zhushen (God Slaughtering) Hall could defeat Chen Xiao. Perhaps only the Hall Master and Elders, who were Martial Emperors, had the strength to fight him!

But would they really be a match for Chen Xiao?

"Are you done? If you're done, it's my turn now!"

Just as the Grand Protector was lost in confusion, Chen Xiao's voice rang out again.

Before his voice faded, Chen Xiao's body suddenly shook, and the ten thousand flying swords flew out of his body, heading straight for the Grand Protector.

He who kills shall be killed!

Even though the Grand Protector was already a defeated general, Chen Xiao showed no mercy!

The ten thousand flying swords cut the Grand Protector's body into such small pieces that not even a bone fragment remained… Only a pool of bright red blood on the ground proved that someone had indeed been there just now.

The entire scene fell into a deathly silence.

Only the whistling wind swept past everyone's ears.

The gazes everyone gave Chen Xiao were now filled with awe.

Tie Xue suddenly began to reflect on whether he had been too presumptuous in calling Chen Xiao "brother" before.

Huangfu Yan clenched his fists tightly, then slowly released them, clenched and released, clenched and released, repeating this several times, but in the end, he didn't have the courage to raise his fist against Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao's face was indifferent, without the slightest joy of victory.

Three of the Four Protectors had been killed by him in the blink of an eye, leaving only the Second Protector, whose arms had been broken, slumped on the ground.

However, Chen Xiao was too lazy to make a move against him. He had already achieved his goal of intimidating the crowd, and that was enough.

If he continued to kill, he would have to slaughter the entire Zhushen Hall, which would go against his original intention.

"Hall Master Chu, you said that as long as I defeated one of the Four Protectors, the grievances between us would be written off. Now that I've defeated all four of them, what do you say?"

Chen Xiao asked indifferently.

Although his original intention was not to slaughter the entire Zhushen Hall, he wouldn't mind doing so if Chu He didn't understand the situation.

Faced with Chen Xiao's gaze, Chu He didn't know whether it was because of fear or shock, but he didn't dare to meet his eyes and couldn't help swallowing several mouthfuls of saliva.

After this battle, the Zhushen Hall had suffered a great loss of vitality and lost all its prestige.

But Chu He didn't have the courage to start a war with Chen Xiao, because he didn't want the Zhushen Hall's centuries-old foundation to be destroyed in his hands.

Moreover, the prerequisite for maintaining prestige was to survive!

If survival was a problem, what was the point of prestige?

So soon, he made a choice.

He tried his best to appear neither humble nor arrogant and said calmly, "Mr. Chen's divine skill is peerless. I, Chu He, am willing to admit defeat. The grievances between Mr. Chen and my Zhushen Hall will be written off from now on!"

Hearing this, the hall masters and elders behind him breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that they had also been afraid just now, fearing that Chu He would act impulsively and make an irrational decision.

Chen Xiao nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "In that case, I'll have to trouble Hall Master Chu to arrange accommodation for us martial artists from the secular world. After a long day, everyone should rest!"

With the grievances written off, Chen Xiao's tone became much more polite.

Chen Xiao had now become the representative of the martial artists from the secular world, and the Zhushen Hall, led by Chu He, no longer dared to underestimate them.

Chu He waved his hand and ordered, "Someone, take Mr. Chen and the martial artists to Courtyard Number One of the Heavenly Rank to rest!"

Courtyard Number One of the Heavenly Rank was the Zhushen Hall's most luxurious guesthouse, and according to their normal standards of hospitality, only the most honored guests were qualified to stay there.

If it weren't for Chen Xiao, those martial artists from the secular world would never have been qualified to stay there.

Soon, several envoys from the Zhushen Hall came over and led Chen Xiao and the group of martial artists from the secular world away.

The envoys remained respectful and cautious throughout the entire process, fearing that they would offend Chen Xiao, this God of Slaughter.

After they left, Huangfu Yan immediately darkened his face and said to Chu He with dissatisfaction, "Uncle Chu, are you just going to tolerate that brat like that? His actions today have completely disregarded your Zhushen Hall!"

Chu He's reconciliation with Chen Xiao was the outcome that Huangfu Yan least wanted to see.

Chu He said with a wry smile, "Nephew Huangfu, you've seen Chen Xiao's strength. If I don't tolerate him, what can I do? Should I let more Zhushen Hall disciples die at his hands?"

"Why not?"

As soon as Chu He finished speaking, Huangfu Yan said matter-of-factly, "If it were my Lingxiao (Soaring Sky) Hall today, we would never tolerate that brat. Even if we had to fight him to the death, even if it meant mutual destruction, we would still take that brat's life!"

Hearing this, Chu He's face immediately darkened, and he said in a cold voice, "Nephew Huangfu, my Zhushen Hall is not your Lingxiao Hall. How I conduct myself is not for a junior like you to point fingers at!"

"Let's go!"

Chu He flung his sleeves and was about to leave with his subordinates.

But at this moment, Huangfu Yan suddenly raised his hand and shouted, "Hold on!"
