Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 658: Sure-kill Situation

Even if there was danger, Xiao Chen could just flee into the air. He did not dare claim to be unrivaled in the same generation, but he took pride in his speed.

If Xiao Chen met with a Martial Sage or someone close to being a Martial Sage, there would no need to even think about it. If a Martial Sage wanted to kill him, no matter how he tried to run, it would be useless.

A small, narrow path wound through the quiet forest. As Xiao Chen walked along the path, he had a calm expression on his face as usual. However, he continuously scanned his surroundings with his Spiritual Sense.

Countless small birds rested on green trees on both sides of the path. These bird species were unique to the Kunlun Realm and were very intelligent.

The bird calls spread continually on the gentle breeze into the distance. Everything seemed normal like nothing had changed.

However, the more normal it was, the more cautious Xiao Chen became. The ninety-nine pearly drops of Quintessence started to circulate quickly. If he ran into any danger, he could quickly counterattack.

“Bang!”

Suddenly, the ground behind Xiao Chen cracked open, and two figures leaped out. A sharp killing intent poured out like a strong wind.

This startled all the birds resting on the trees, causing them to flap their wings and take flight in droves.

The person in front held twin sabers in his hands, moving them around quickly. Strong winds came from his sabers as he unleashed a shocking aura like a storm pouring down.

The saber winds he launched chopped down the surrounding trees, turning them into splinters that disappeared on the wind.

At a glance, clouds of dust and splinters flew up behind the person with twin sabers. Shock waves spread out like waves. When he made his move, he raised his momentum to its peak.

As for the other person behind, he held a 1.3-meter-long sword. The sword light was subdued and looked very ordinary. He seemed like a sharp arrow that pierced through the air and sped along its way.

Compared to the cultivator with twin sabers, the second person seemed very plain and ordinary. The two formed a stark contrast.

One concealed himself thoroughly, and the other had a frightening aura. The two moved together, locking down on Xiao Chen with their killing intent. They clearly intended to take down Xiao Chen in one move.

Xiao Chen had been monitoring his surroundings with his Spiritual Sense. When the two suddenly attacked, he did not get flustered.

In an instant, Xiao Chen found openings in the two’s coordination. After that, he quickly analyzed them in his mind and found the opening that resulted in him receiving the least harm and being able to retreat.

Opportunities were fleeting. Xiao Chen had never been an overly cautious person. After thinking for a moment, he decisively made his move. He drew his saber and sent out a dazzling light. The Quintessence he had circulated in advance instantly poured into his saber.

“Ka ca!”

Xiao Chen turned around and blocked that plain and simple sword. Even though the attack looked plain and simple, it contained an astonishingly strong force.

When saber and sword clashed, energy ripples burst forth and flooded the surroundings, uprooting the trees around and crushing them into powder.

A vast dust cloud surged out, melding with the dust cloud that the cultivator with the twin sabers had kicked up. The entire place turned chaotic; visibility deteriorated.

Xiao Chen’s arm became somewhat numb. He felt astonished at the strength of that swordsman. However, the current situation had unfolded as he had envisioned, so he did not feel any fear.

Xiao Chen’s figure wavered slightly as he used Roaming Dragon’s Nine Transformations to leave behind a clone. Then, he leaped up, hiding in the dust cloud.

Within the dust cloud, the cultivator with twin sabers saw Xiao Chen’s clone flying back. His face lit up with joy as he directly sent a torrent of chaotic attacks at him.

“Chi! Chi!”

In the blink of an eye, the twin sabers sent out no less than a hundred saber lights, tearing Xiao Chen’s clone into many pieces.

When the man with twin sabers saw the result, his expression changed and he cursed in a low voice, “Damn it! I fell for his trick!”

After all the dust settled, the two cultivators looked around. They found Xiao Chen standing on a tree branch a kilometer away, watching them calmly.

Naturally, these two were the Rising Sky Pavilion’s Wang Feng and Liu Feihu. They had buried themselves for a long time already. However, they had not expected Xiao Chen to escape the death trap that they had spent so much time preparing.

While on the tree branch, Xiao Chen probed the two’s cultivation. The swordsman was a middle-stage Medial Grade Martial Monarch, and the cultivator with the twin sabers was just slightly weaker—early-stage Medial Grade Martial Monarch.

Xiao Chen could not help but frown slightly. In the Kunlun Realm, the increase on a grade represented a marked escalation in strength, unlike in the lower realm.

Defeating someone of a higher cultivation grade was extremely difficult. Now, two Medial Grade Martial Monarchs stood before Xiao Chen. He had probably run into some real trouble this time.

Recognizing the insignia on both their chests, Xiao Chen said coldly, “People from the Rising Sky Pavilion? I don’t think we have any grudge between us, so why are you obstructing me?”

Liu Feihu set his twin sabers against each other. His lips curled up as he replied, “Naturally, we have no grudges with each other. However, you have something we want. So, you have to leave it behind.”

Wang Feng had a calm expression as he added, “Just hand over the heads of the Seven Black Wind Killers. You can keep the treasures you obtained from them.”

Like the Supreme Sky Sect’s mission hall, the Rising Sky Pavilion had a contribution ranking as well. As long as one could climb to the top of the ranking, they would receive a very large reward.

Before the reward offered, the two from the Rising Sky Pavilion did not care for that tiny bit of wealth the Seven Black Wind Killers had.

When Xiao Chen heard Wang Feng speaking with such a natural tone—as if it was normal that he should surrender the heads that he worked so hard to obtain—he could not help but laugh hoarsely. He said, “In that case, I have some words for you too. Scram, quick. Otherwise, when the Supreme Sky Sect’s people find out that the Rising Sky Pavilion’s people are behaving atrociously here, you will find it difficult to flee even if you grow wings.”

Liu Feihu smiled sinisterly. He revealed an extremely vicious expression on his face as he said, “Ha ha! That can only happen if you are able to return alive.”

Killing Qi poured out of Liu Feihu. The moment he finished speaking, he prepared to attack. However, Wang Feng blocked him.

Wang Feng had exchanged a move with Xiao Chen. He had used fifty percent of his strength in that attack earlier. However, despite being an Inferior Grade Martial Monarch, Xiao Chen managed to receive that attack calmly and safely.

Unlike Liu Feihu, Wang Feng felt that the person before him was no ordinary Inferior Grade Martial Monarch.

Wang Feng smiled faintly and said, “This friend, how about you sell us the heads in your hand? Seven heads for seventy thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones.”

Xiao Chen retorted bluntly, “I’m sorry, I do not lack Spirit Stones.”

“Even though we showed him some respect, he rejected it. What is the point of speaking such nonsense with him?” Liu Feihu shouted hotheadedly. He leaped into the air and attacked immediately.

Wang Feng’s face also sank completely. In his opinion, he had already shown Xiao Chen a lot of respect. Unexpectedly, this fellow still overrated himself.

These two were Medial Grade Martial Monarchs with one of them a middle-stage Medial Grade Martial Monarch. Furthermore, these two were peak inner sect disciples of a Rank 8 sect.

Xiao Chen made some calculations. If he insisted on fighting with them, he had only a fifty percent chance of victory. Furthermore, even if he won, it would be a bitter victory.

After all, he was only an Inferior Grade Martial Monarch. Furthermore, he had not consumed the Quintessence Gathering Pill yet. If he had taken the Quintessence Gathering Pill and refined his Quintessence again, he would not be afraid of these two people.

Xiao Chen did not have any advantages in this battle. However, this Liu Feihu seemed to be underestimating him. Perhaps there was still some chance.

With a thought, Xiao Chen pushed off the tree branch and retreated.

The moment Xiao Chen moved, Liu Feihu hacked the large tree below Xiao Chen into several segments with his twin sabers.

Sharp saber Qi flew chaotically around the forest, felling many trees.

Liu Feihu’s momentum flourished as he chased after Xiao Chen, sending out wild attacks as he did so. He slowly closed the gap between the two of them.

After a few more exquisite saber attacks, Liu Feihu closed off all paths of retreat for Xiao Chen. He laughed loudly and said, “You stinking brat, let’s see where you can run to now!”

A look of “horror” flashed in Xiao Chen’s eyes as he “frantically” retreated. However, he still swung his saber rapidly to block the attacks.

Seeing the expression on Xiao Chen’s face, Liu Feihu became even smugger. He thought to himself, Your pretense is pretty good. You think I cannot tell that you are just someone weak pretending to be strong?

“Bang!”

Liu Feihu’s twin sabers hacked at the pitch-black blade of the Lunar Shadow Saber. A berserk saber intent and Quintessence surged out, and Xiao Chen immediately vomited a mouthful of blood, flying backwards in a sorry state.

When Liu Feihu saw Xiao Chen’s condition, he became even more convinced of his previous thoughts. He smiled coldly and said, “Have you finally understood what regret is? Unfortunately, it is too late. Don’t think that you are incredible for being a Supreme Sky Sect disciple.”

Liu Feihu took great strides as he charged forward, driving Xiao Chen back all the while, preventing him from retaliating.

Wang Feng, who watched the whole scene unfold, felt surprised at first. However, after a while, he revealed a smile of realization. “So that is what is going on. I was nearly fooled by this brat.”

In that initial exchange, this brat should have suffered significant hidden injuries, but he forcefully endured it. Then, he tried to use the Supreme Sky Sect to scare us away without having to hand over the Seven Black Wind Killers’ heads.

However, Liu Feihu’s ferocious torrent of attacks immediately exposed everything. Even if Xiao Chen tried to delay, he could no longer do so.

After thinking it through some more, Wang Feng felt that his guess was correct. So, he slowly relaxed. He no longer followed after Liu Feihu so closely. Instead, his pace became leisurely.

Liu Feihu’s attacks became more ferocious as time went on. As he strode forward, he forced Xiao Chen into a pathetic state, barely able to manage.

The surrounding big trees collapsed like toy building blocks, flying everywhere.

Raising his Lunar Shadow Saber, Xiao Chen, who seemed to be blocking miserably, had been calculating and evaluating all of Liu Feihu’s openings.

No, this opening is too small. Although I would be able to force back this person, he would be able to react quickly. This will not injure him.

This move won’t do, either. After I injure him, I will not have much space to retreat. It would be easy for the other person to interfere.

Xiao Chen circulated his energies slightly and vomited blood again. His complexion became even paler. As the opportunities passed him, he maintained an absolute calm, continuing to wait for the best chance.

Liu Feihu swung his twin sabers, and a surging Quintessence burst forth, knocking Xiao Chen back to fall hard on the ground.

Seeing Xiao Chen struggling to stand up, Liu Feihu laughed maniacally. As he walked over step by step, he dropped his guard entirely.

Wang Feng, who was at the side, also revealed a sinister smile. He muttered to himself, “This fellow is finally spent.”

This is the moment! Attack!

When Liu Feihu was two meters away from Xiao Chen, the situation changed suddenly and strangely. Xiao Chen, who was weak and out of strength, finding it hard to stand up, suddenly soared into the air. Then, he sent out seven saber images. Each attack perfectly merged his Quintessence and state of thunder.

The seven saber images each split into three, turning into a chain of twenty-one saber images. Brilliant saber lights appeared, and thunder roared. Xiao Chen’s momentum immediately soared to its peak.
