"Killed the wrong person?"
The three exchanged bewildered 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, but you wouldn't listen. Fine, it seems if I don't kill you today, you'll keep pestering me!"
Accompanied by this voice, like the grinding of a broken gong, a figure completely shrouded in a white robe appeared before them.
The white-robed figure's hood was deep, concealing his entire face, making it impossible to discern his appearance.
"A... Celestial!"
Vanessa swallowed hard and exclaimed loudly.
Giant Rock and Vincent's faces turned grim. Although they had long suspected that the bookworm from before was not quite right, they had never dared to think of him as a Celestial.
After all, in their impression, Celestials were invincible!
It was only at this moment that they realized Captain Chen had known from the beginning that the opponent was a Celestial.
Thinking of this, the three felt an immense tremor within.
When Chen Xiao had said he would meet a Celestial within an hour, they had mocked him, saying it was absolutely impossible.
Yet, from that moment until now, only a little over ten minutes had passed, and that included the few minutes they had just spent fighting the Celestial.
Hiss... Terrifying indeed!
These three unruly superpowered individuals once again felt the dread of Chen Xiao.
From then on, Chen Xiao felt that the matter had nothing to do with these three superpowered individuals.
He had let them fight the Celestial just to test their strength.
As for the test results... not very satisfactory. Not only was their combat power weak, but they were also stupid, which was difficult to accept!
"I'm very curious, why are you here?"
Chen Xiao looked at the Celestial opposite him and asked in a calm tone.
The Celestial sized up Chen Xiao. "So you're from Jiuzhou. No wonder you could locate me so quickly. Since you can locate me, don't you understand why I'm here?"
"As expected, there are Dragon Veins here too?"
Chen Xiao asked.
Vanessa and the other two listened to their conversation as if it were gibberish. They could understand the words, but the meaning was completely incomprehensible.
In fact, Chen Xiao was able to locate the Celestial by matching the distribution map of Jiuzhou's Dragon Veins with the map of the United States.
He discovered that the towns the Celestial had previously massacred were all located at positions corresponding to the Dragon Vein distribution.
However, he had never known that there were Dragon Veins in the United States!
"Not exactly Dragon Veins, merely imitations. But they do have some effect."
The Celestial said, "Kid, I know you're trying to trick me into talking, but I'm feeling merciful today, so feel free to ask. After all, it's not easy to encounter a talking meal."
The Celestial said proudly, treating Chen Xiao as a meal he could converse with.
The three superpowered individuals exchanged glances, their faces full of question marks.
What? A meal?
If Captain Chen was just a meal, then what were they?
Chen Xiao, however, asked without surprise, "So, are you planning to destroy the entire world this time?"
"The entire world?"
The Celestial let out a scoff. "That's just your entire world. To us Celestials, it's merely a drop in the ocean, like a vegetable patch in your backyard. It's that simple!"
Quite surprisingly, this Celestial was very talkative, and his analogies were also quite apt.
"Heh, so to you, we're just leeks in a vegetable patch."
Chen Xiao sneered.
"No, no, no."
The Celestial shook his head. "Not just leeks, but also lettuce, cabbage, whatever. It's the same meaning, you understand, right?"
"And if we use a vegetable patch as a metaphor, then the living beings of Jiuzhou are fresh and delicious vegetables. As for other places, whether it's the United States or India, they are rotten vegetable patches. The vegetables here are not fresh at all, and their nutritional value is very low... but, it's better than nothing!"
"This time is our last descent to Planet Blue. From now on, there will be no living beings in this realm."
As the Celestial spoke, he seemed to feel a touch of emotion.
"When was this time, and how long ago?"
Chen Xiao asked.
"I don't know. Even if I did, I wouldn't tell you. I'm just a pioneer, here to test the taste. You can think of me as a taste tester, yes, it's that simple!"
The Celestial chattered on. "The first eight patches have already been tested, and this is the last one. Originally, I thought I would be successful after testing it, but I didn't expect to encounter you few unlucky troublemakers."
"So, are you ready? I'm ready to eat you!"
Two fierce lights suddenly emerged from the Celestial's obscured face. "You're a tough bone, and you don't look easy to chew. But the tougher the bone, the more delicious it is. I've made up my mind to have a good meal!"
The Celestial appraised Chen Xiao, as if he were evaluating a large head of cabbage from a vegetable patch.
"Heh, since you know I'm a tough bone, then who eats whom is still unknown!"
Chen Xiao said with a cold smile.
"Still unknown? Pfft..."
The Celestial couldn't help but let out a chuckle.
He clutched his stomach, bent over with laughter. "You little fellow, you're too funny. It's always Celestials eating those below, not the other way around!"
"Alright, kid, I'll let you have three moves first. Let me see what kind of strength you have to dare to speak such arrogant words!"
As he laughed, the Celestial suddenly became serious and spoke in earnest.
Boom—
As soon as the Celestial finished speaking, Chen Xiao threw a punch. A golden fist light, like a shooting star, pierced through the Celestial's body.
To say it pierced was somewhat inaccurate.
To be precise, it passed through the Celestial's body... and caused no damage to the Celestial at all!
In fact, the Celestial even absorbed the entire fist light into his body.
Seeing this, Chen Xiao quickly retracted his fist!
He finally understood why Celestials were said to be invincible.
It seemed that attacks from the lower realm could not cause them any harm; instead, they became their nourishment!
After washing his hands of the fist light, the Celestial smacked his lips. "So delicious. You truly didn't disappoint me. Come on, you have two moves left. Go ahead and unleash them at me!"
Vanessa and the other two felt nervous for Captain Chen. What should they do? Even the mighty Captain Chen seemed to have no way against that Celestial!
Just then, Chen Xiao suddenly laughed. "Two moves? Why would I need two moves to kill you? One is enough!"
Before his voice faded, a golden light flashed in Chen Xiao's hand.
A golden long sword, over three feet long, was held by Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao had unleashed the God-Slaying Sword!
