Chapter 208
Hearing this, Chu Xi glared at him and snapped, âShut up already! If it werenât for your greed, we wouldnât be in this predicament!â
At this moment, she was filled with frustration toward her younger brother.
Senior Brother Yang had been concerned about her overexertion of soul power and had even given her soul energy from the Nine-Colored Poria.
Meanwhile, Xiao Dong only thought about using her to gain treasures.
Didnât he just hear that the opponent was a terrifying monster close to the Void Refinement Stage? Compared to Senior Brother Yang, Xiao Dong was truly selfish and childishâhe even made her feel a little disgusted.
***
âSister, youââ Chu Xiâs disgusted gaze and tone made Xiao Dong freeze in place. He couldnât believe that his sister would look at him and speak to him in such a way.
He was her brother, her only family in this world.
âDamn it! Itâs all that bastard Yang Chen stirring up trouble! Chu Xi, youâre no better! Decades of sibling affection, and itâs not even worth that scoundrelâs sweet words! Despicable! One day, Iâll make you regret this!â
Xiao Dong cursed furiously in his heart.
[Ding! The hostâs concern for Chu Xi has caused her to develop feelings of frustration and disappointment toward Xiao Dong. The sibling bond has fractured, and 500 points of Providence Luck from the Son of Destiny, Xiao Dong. The host has gained 500 VPs!]
Hmm?
Yang Chen raised an eyebrow in surprise.
A rift between siblings?
It seemed Junior Sister Chu Xi had grown frustrated and disillusioned with her younger brother.
Good, good.
This way, he wouldnât have to keep pretending to be a good brother-in-law anymore. And when Xiao Dong eventually died, Chu Xi wouldnât grieve too much.
âYoungster, die for me!â Blackheart Sage roared as a surge of demonic energy burst from his body, and he struck at Yang Chen with his palm. The demonic energy coalesced into countless chains, each writhing with the wails of tortured souls.
Yang Chen felt the surrounding space solidify.
A peak Soul Transformation realm cultivator could already manipulate spatial forces, freezing space or creating sealing techniques like spatial locks.
Although such methods werenât particularly refined, they were enough to deal a fatal blow to lower-level cultivators.
If an early-stage Soul Transformation realm cultivator faced this move, the frozen space would leave them with no escape, forcing them into a desperate defense.
In most cases, this would result in either death or severe injury. This was why Blackheart Sage dared to attack Yang Chen. In his eyes, a mid-stage Soul Transformation realm cultivator could be suppressed in a short time.
However, he underestimated Yang Chen.
A sword light slashed out. The sword light, blazing like golden flames, carried an incisive intent that could cut through everything.
The massive dark prison formed by the demonic energy chains were instantly obliterated by the sword intent. The overwhelming sword intent scattered in all directions, shaking everyone present.
âWhat terrifying sword intent!â
âMy spirit sword is resonating with it!â
âI didnât expect this mid-stage Soul Transformation realm cultivator from Heavenly Dao Holy Land to be such a powerful sword cultivator!â
âThis sword intent ⊠it must have reached the seventh tier of Sword Dao!â
âAs expected of Heavenly Dao Holy Land. With such profound foundations, itâs no wonder they have such exceptional talents!â
By now, a crowd of cultivators had gathered around.
Among them were not only Soul Transformation level cultivators but even a few at the late-stage and peak Soul Transformation stages.
Yet all of them were stunned by the overwhelming sword intent released by Yang Chen.
Chu Xi, supporting Xiao Dong to the side, looked at Yang Chen, who radiated sword intent like an unrivaled Sword Immortal.
Her beautiful eyes sparkled with admiration and affection.
âDamn it! That bastard Yang Chen really knows how to show off! If I had a hundred years, I wouldnât be any worse than him!â Xiao Dong cursed bitterly in his heart.
In the sky, Yang Chen and Blackheart Sage clashed in a flurry of exchanges.
Demonic energy and sword energy crisscrossed the valley, leveling and collapsing over a dozen nearby mountain peaks.
Through their brief encounter, Yang Chen gained a clearer understanding of his current strength. Without using the Pure Yang Sword, his combat power wasnât far off from Blackheart Sageâs.
Moreover, Yang Chen hadnât even used his Dragon Body Technique yet.
If Blackheart Sage dared to approach him, Yang Chen could instantly destroy his physical body.
âDamn it, youngster! Die for me!â Blackheart Sage had initially planned to suppress this reckless brat in a matter of moments. But unexpectedly, they were evenly matched.
If news of this got out, how could Blackheart Sage maintain his reputation in the Central Continent?
Failing to defeat a mid-stage Soul Transformation realm cultivator while being at the peak of the stageâheâd be a laughingstock upon returning to the Nether Sect!
Blackheart Sage waved his hand, summoning a black demonic banner. Demonic energy surged, and the sky was instantly shrouded in dark clouds.
From all directions came the mournful cries of countless tortured souls.
âThe Yin Demon Banner! A ninth-grade demonic artifact of the Nether Sect! This Yin Demon Banner belonged to Blackheart Sageâs master, the Grand Elder of the Nether Sect. It once killed over ten Dao Integration Stage righteous cultivators and tens of thousands of Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators. Truly terrifying!
âTo think a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator forced Blackheart Sage to bring out a ninth-grade demonic artifact ⊠I can hardly believe it!â
âWho is this Heavenly Dao Holy Land disciple? Whatâs his name? Which elderâs direct disciple is he? Why havenât I heard of him before?â
