Chapter 425 The Probing

Hearing this, Chen Xiao crossed his arms and sneered.

"If I hadn't come, wouldn't I have killed your disciple in vain?"

Tu Junhou's eyes immediately turned cold, and he gritted his teeth, "You dare to mention it?"

At this moment, he heard Chen Xiao say in all seriousness, "Honestly, I thought you would come to seek revenge immediately after I killed your disciple. I didn't expect you to be such a coward, making me wait another three days!"

"Are you that eager to die?"

Tu Junhou grinned sinisterly, "I gave you three days to make you think carefully about the consequences of offending me. If you had fled, I wouldn't have pursued. A disciple is just a disciple; I have plenty. It's a pity that after giving you three days, you still haven't figured it out and have come to die!"

"Oh, I didn't expect you to have so many thoughts going on!"

Chen Xiao chuckled teasingly, then said, "I have important business with you. Killing your disciple was both to force you out and because he deserved to die..."

Tu Junhou was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "We've never met before. What important business could you have with me?"

Chen Xiao smiled slightly and asked indifferently, "Then what do you think I forced you to meet me for?"

"What else could it be? Young people are desperate to get ahead and want to use my name to rise. You've played a clever game, but unfortunately, you'll have to pay with your life!"

Tu Junhou said with misplaced confidence.

Upon hearing this, the smile on Chen Xiao's face became even more pronounced.

"Use me to get ahead? You think too highly of yourself!"

Although the two seemed to be exchanging pleasantries, they both knew exactly what the other was planning.

It was during this conversation that Tu Junhou stealthily probed Chen Xiao's strength.

And Chen Xiao did the same to him.

From the moment they met, Chen Xiao carefully sensed the fluctuations of spiritual energy on Tu Junhou, but there was no result.

This was within Chen Xiao's expectations. Experts could hide their aura through various means.

Only those who were incompetent yet arrogant would reveal their aura from the outset, showing off their strength.

Tu Junhou's probing of Chen Xiao yielded a similar outcome.

He even cast a minor spell on Chen Xiao to try and gauge his cultivation.

However, Chen Xiao discovered it and neutralized it with ease while chatting.

Although their initial probes failed, the ultimate results for the two were vastly different.

Tu Junhou's minor spell had no effect on Chen Xiao, but Chen Xiao's divine sense was something Tu Junhou couldn't defend against.

To be precise, Tu Junhou couldn't even sense that Chen Xiao was probing him with his divine sense.

Under the probe, Chen Xiao discovered a miniature Tu Junhou in his dantian...

This matched Chen Xiao's estimation of his strength: Nascent Soul stage!

This was the first Nascent Soul stage expert Chen Xiao had encountered on Earth, and he couldn't help but feel a flicker of excitement.

"Kid, enough with the nonsense. As cultivators, we should let our strength do the talking!"

Tu Junhou, unable to probe Chen Xiao, was ready to make a move.

"Wait!"

However, Chen Xiao raised his hand and took out the Yin-Yang Jade from his chest. "I ask you, do you recognize this?"

Instantly, Tu Junhou's head buzzed, and his eyes widened.

"Kid, who gave you this Yin-Yang Jade?"

Chen Xiao frowned, "You tell me first, and then I'll tell you!"

"I know, you're Chen Sihai's son!"

A look of almost frenzied greed appeared on Tu Junhou's face. "Kid, hand over the Yin-Yang Jade quickly, and I can spare your life!"

Seeing this, Yu Baimei and the others exchanged glances, their faces filled with confusion.

They had no idea what kind of treasure the Yin-Yang Jade was to make Tu Junhou so agitated.

Elder Huang's brows furrowed, and he stared blankly at the scene, as if remembering something.

The disheveled young man beside him, however, looked impatient. "What are these two doing? Why aren't they fighting yet? If they keep chattering like this, it'll be dark!"

After hearing Tu Junhou's threat, Chen Xiao said, "Tell me what this Yin-Yang Jade is all about, and I can spare your life too!"

"What an arrogant brat! In that case, there's nothing to discuss! Kid, prepare to die. I didn't get this Yin-Yang Jade twenty-three years ago, but today, I will have it!"

In an instant, Tu Junhou was enveloped in killing intent. His sleeves billowed, and his robes fluttered as if in a strong wind!

He attacked with all his might!

As his voice fell, he formed hand seals, and two streams of True Wind Dragons erupted from his sleeves.

Rumble—

The True Wind Dragons, like mighty tornadoes, surged towards Chen Xiao. Wherever the wind passed, sand and stones flew, and nothing survived!

Tu Junhou concentrated and manipulated the two True Wind Dragons, intertwining them.

The two True Wind Dragons converged, swirling and transforming into a giant needle point, aiming directly at Chen Xiao.

Facing this overwhelming offensive, Chen Xiao remained unfazed. He silently condensed his spiritual power, circulating it at high speed and compressing it rapidly. A small whirlwind appeared in his hand.

The whirlwind spun at an incredible speed, its edges like sharp blades slicing the air into pieces of vacuum, while the core of the whirlwind was a miniature thunderstorm, emitting a dazzling blue lightning glow.

"Go!"

Chen Xiao pushed the whirlwind forward. The whirlwind, carrying blue currents, directly collided with the two True Wind Dragons.

Creeeak—

A low ripping sound echoed as the True Wind Dragons split in two. The blue whirlwind, however, broke through like a piercing arrow, cleaving the True Dragons and then heading straight for Tu Junhou.

Tu Junhou cried out in alarm and rapidly formed hand seals!

The two True Dragons, which had been split apart, converged again, transforming into a chaotic mass.

The chaos slowly rotated, shielding Tu Junhou and attempting to block the advancing blue whirlwind.

Rumble—

The blue whirlwind slammed into the chaos with a sound like thunder from heaven. However, after a moment, the chaos shattered, failing to stop the blue whirlwind's assault!

Tu Junhou's face showed shock. Seeing the small blue whirlwind mere inches away, he once again channeled his vital energy. His long robe suddenly vibrated, emitting a milky white light shield that protected him.

The whirlwind finally struck the milky white light shield, causing it to tremble slightly. The energy was quickly depleted, and the whirlwind vanished into nothingness.

Even so, Tu Junhou was deeply shocked.

"As expected of Chen Sihai's son, your strength is indeed extraordinary!"

Chen Xiao's brows furrowed slightly, and a clear look of displeasure appeared on his face.

"I am Chen Xiao, not someone's son. Hurry up and show me some real skill. If this is all you've got, then admit defeat and surrender!"
