Martial Cultivator

Chapter 374: Red Silk and Flying Sword

Seeing Chen Chao stand up and face her, Fairy Red sized up the young man in front of her and then asked, "Are you the Chen Chao who defeated Song Changxi by the lakeside?"

Chen Chao asked straightforwardly, "What do you want?"

Fairy Red obviously did not expect this young man to be so straightforward. Many of the prepared words she had seemed to lose their effect at this moment. However, she was not too inclined to speak straightforwardly herself, so after some thought, she suddenly said, "I want to learn from you, to see if you are truly the champion of the Myriad Willow Convention's martial examination, if you're the real deal."

Actually, the influence of the Myriad Willow Convention had declined in recent years, and many geniuses from the foreign lands had chosen not to participate. Just like that Infatuation Daoist Temple's Yun Jianyue, if he had participated in the Divine Capital back then, regardless of how you look at it, the champion of the Myriad Willow Convention would not have been Chen Chao.

Of course, besides Yun Jianyue, there were also many young cultivators who, for various reasons, could not make it. When they heard that Chen Chao was actually the champion, they naturally refused to accept it and saw it as a great humiliation.

The Xia Family was already destroyed, and many cultivators from the Purple Cloud Grotto died that night. Therefore, it was inevitable for Daoist Redsky to make this trip. Even he knew that now they were in the Divine Capital. If figures like the Temple Master did not come forward personally, it would be absurd to think of killing the Great Liang Emperor. But if the cultivators from the foreign lands did nothing, it would be unacceptable as well. Therefore, this time, led by the Purple Cloud Grotto, several Nepenthe cultivators came along with two youngsters, aiming to make a complete mockery of the Great Liang Dynasty during this grand court session.

Earlier, Liu Banbi made a move to intercept that middle-aged daoist nun. Then, his move was blocked successively by the Great General and the Lord Warden Commander. To him, this was practically considered a 50% failure of this matter.

Now, the only hope lies in these two young people being able to regain their face.

Chen Chao naturally understood the other party's intention. He even wondered if the blow the Great Liang Emperor dealt him previously was because he predicted today's events, so he treated hidden injuries in advance.

If that were the case, Chen Chao would truly prostrate on all fours in admiration for his uncle. It seemed like there was nothing in this world this person could not foresee.The debut release of this chapter happened at N0v3l_B1n.

After a moment of silence, Chen Chao knew that this duel was unavoidable. However, after glancing at the Fairy Red, he looked at the sword cultivator next to her and asked, "If I defeat you, will this brother make a move? If he's going to make a move anyway, wouldn't it be better for me to fight him directly?"

Fairy Red was furious upon hearing this. Chen Chao's words were clearly looking down on her.

Although she knew that her cultivation realm and combat power were definitely not as good as the sword cultivator, Liu Chuxu, beside her, she was unwilling to endure such humiliation. In a fit of anger, she immediately made a move.

With a sweep of her sleeve, a red silk ribbon instantly shot straight towards Chen Chao.

Seeing this scene, neither the Lord Warden Commander, a peerless martial artist, nor the other military officials spoke up or made any moves. No matter how you looked at it, this Fairy Red was just a member of the younger generation. Her action now was a contest among peers. For them, no matter who made a move at this moment, it would be a sign of weakness.

Therefore, Chen Chao could only deal with it himself.

Chen Chao was also sighing in his heart. Han Pu, the Chief Judicial Officer of the Court of Judicial Review, had asked him to take a good look at this grand court session. How could he have expected that the first time he was taking part in this grand court session would require him to take action in front of countless court officials?

Making a move in front of so many watchful gazes made Chen Chao somewhat uncomfortable.

However, since the other party had already attacked, Chen Chao could only respond.

The Lord Warden Commander waved his hand, a surge of qi instantly dispersed to both sides of the square. When he had made his move earlier, the court officials had already retreated to both sides, clearing out a large area. Now, with another wave of his hand, the court officials were forced to retreat further, clearing out most of the square for the two people.

The Lord Warden Commander was also preparing for the worst. Whether was it Chen Chao or the Fairy Red, neither of them could be considered powerful cultivators at a profound cultivation realm. Sometimes, if their control over qi was lacking and it affected the bystanders, if their rescue efforts were not timely, several people might have to be carried out from here on the spot.

The red silk was as straight as a sword. Chen Chao rushed forward with large strides, then stomped heavily at the center of the square, leaping into the air to confront the red silk. His entire body surged with qi, coursing through his meridians, and finally burst out from his arm, landing a heavy punch on the red silk!

Today was the grand court session, and he could not bring his saber into the palace. At this moment, he could only rely solely on his qi to deal with the situation. The qi-filled punch landed on the red silk, causing it to flutter momentarily. It actually dissipated most of Chen Chao's qi just like that. After Chen Chao's qi was nearly depleted, the red silk wrapped around his wrist and firmly locked his hand in place.

Fairy Red gripped the red silk with one hand tightly, while the other swiftly brushed over the red silk. Several streams of red light emerged from mid-air, heading straight towards Chen Chao!

Entangled by the red silk, Chen Chao found himself unable to dodge for a moment. It seemed he could only confront the imminent danger of those deadly red lights head-on with his body?!

Song Lian stood in the distance, his face revealing a worried expression. Among the many court officials present, he was likely the one who was most concerned about this young man.

Chen Chao frowned slightly. His hand that was entangled suddenly exerted force, and his body instantly tensed up, causing the previously fluttering red silk to straighten abruptly at this moment.

Fairy Red's body swayed, unwilling to let go. Then, her entire person was actually pulled over by Chen Chao, plummeting rapid from the sky!

"Get lost!"

Chen Chao shouted coldly. The red lights came first, but most of them were directly shattered by Chen Chao's fist. As for the remaining red lights, although they collided with Chen Chao's body and cut through his outer court robe, they failed to leave any trace of injury on him.

Seeing that Fairy Red was almost reaching him, Chen Chao reached out with one hand and grabbed her ankle. At this moment, he had no intention of showing mercy to a woman. After grabbing her, he intended to slam her down forcefully!

But at this moment, a flash of sword light suddenly descended from the sky, with a sharp sword aura clearly aiming for a fatal blow against Chen Chao.

This presented Chen Chao with a multiple-choice question: either release Fairy Red or forcefully withstand this flying sword head-on.

Chen Chao raised his head slightly, and at that moment, he already made a decision.

After releasing Fairy Red, he swiftly wrapped the red silk around himself as the flying sword approached. The sharp blade of the sword directly cut through the red silk, but Chen Chao who was freed from the restraint did a somersault and dodged the flying sword.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fairy Red soared into the sky once again, and Chen Chao did not stop her. He just looked at that flying sword.

As well as that young sword cultivator behind the flying sword.
