Chen Xiao landed on the ground, retracting his wings. The golden tattoos then vanished back into his skin.
"You brat, what do you think you're doing? I warn you, don't ruin Huangfu Dianzhu's good deed, or you'll surely regret it!"
As soon as Hua Shengxu saw Chen Xiao land before him, he started barking like a scared dog, his voice full of bluster.
"Noisy!"
Chen Xiao frowned slightly, immediately drawing his Yitian Sword and slashing it towards the animal hide.
*Swish—*
The sword energy instantly cut through the animal hide covering Chu Qingluan.
Chen Xiao walked towards her, and as he passed by Hua Shengxu, Hua Shengxu's upper body neatly slid to the ground.
With the animal hide removed, Chu Qingluan finally saw the light of day. She looked up, saw Chen Xiao, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes.
She stumbled to her feet and rushed towards Chen Xiao, burying her face in his chest and sobbing uncontrollably.
She had been through too much stimulation, and now, as if reborn, her gushing tears were simply an outlet for her emotions!
Chen Xiao was a bit stunned, asking in a low voice, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Chu Qingluan could only cry, unable to speak.
Just then, Chen Xiao suddenly felt a chill from behind him.
This chill came from Huangfu Yan.
Seeing Chu Qingluan in Chen Xiao's embrace, he was about to go mad.
He began to regret not killing that slut with a sword just now!
Chen Xiao patted Chu Qingluan's back, comforting her, "Stop crying, you'll turn into an ugly monster if you keep crying!"
As it turned out, the word "ugly monster" always had a devastating effect on women, and the more beautiful the woman, the greater the impact.
"Really..."
Chu Qingluan immediately stopped crying, though she was still sniffling, her eyes teary.
"You adulterous couple..."
Huangfu Yan gritted his teeth, his face unconsciously turning a dark hue again.
"I will kill you!"
Before he could finish speaking, his body transformed into a black shadow, and he lunged towards Chen Xiao.
"Chen Xiao, be careful!"
Chu Qingluan's eyes widened. In her excitement, she had forgotten that they were still in a very dangerous situation.
Facing the charging black shadow, Chen Xiao's eyes showed a hint of excitement.
Having just experienced a rebirth, he was eager to test how much his strength had increased. And here was his chance!
Huangfu Yan's dark, claw-like hands reached out towards Chen Xiao, his long, sharp fingernails like those of a ferocious beast!
*Grind—*
Huangfu Yan's claw struck Chen Xiao's chest, emitting a piercing sound.
It turned out his claw had only hit Chen Xiao's armor!
This armor was formed from the feathers of a fire phoenix and was unbreakable. Huangfu Yan's forceful claw hadn't even left a scratch on it.
Huangfu Yan was stunned; this was clearly not the outcome he had expected.
From a distance, Huangfu Xiao shouted, "Yan'er, retreat quickly! You are no match for him!"
As he spoke, Huangfu Xiao strode forward.
Huangfu Yan was unwilling, but he had to obey his father's words. He leaped back.
"Damn it, running away because you can't win?"
Chen Xiao would not let Huangfu Yan escape so easily. He leaped up and pursued him, punching Huangfu Yan in the chest while in mid-air.
*Bang—*
Huangfu Yan crashed heavily to the ground, feeling as if his soul had been shaken out of his body.
After all, in his demonic transformation state, his strength was comparable to a Martial Emperor. Yet, Chen Xiao had rendered him incapable of fighting with just one punch!
Terror flashed in Huangfu Yan's eyes. "Boy, who exactly are you?"
"I am the one who will take your life!"
Chen Xiao said nonchalantly, raising his fist again.
"Boy, stop!"
Huangfu Xiao roared. Chen Xiao's strength far exceeded his imagination.
"Give me a reason to stop."
Chen Xiao's fist hovered in the air as he looked at Huangfu Xiao.
"Boy, your strength has earned my approval. I am willing to take you as my adopted son. From now on, the entire ancient martial world will be yours and mine to rule!"
Seeing Chen Xiao's formidable strength, Huangfu Xiao wanted to bring him under his wing.
Little did he know that his words had angered Chen Xiao.
"You dog, how dare you try to take advantage of me?"
Before he finished speaking, Chen Xiao punched down.
"First, I'll take your son's dog life as interest!"
*Pfft—*
This punch smashed Huangfu Yan's head into a pulp.
Chen Xiao, however, was greatly disappointed, shaking his head and muttering to himself, "Too weak, too weak. Isn't there anyone stronger for me to test my strength against?"
Seeing his son die tragically at Chen Xiao's hands, Huangfu Xiao was stunned for a full three seconds.
The surrounding crowd was even more shocked beyond words!
Hope flickered in Chu He's eyes: "Perhaps Chen Xiao can really defeat Huangfu Xiao!"
Huangfu Xiao had intended to make Chu He experience the pain of losing a daughter, but he did not expect to experience the pain of losing a son first.
"Hmph!"
Huangfu Xiao let out a roar that shook the heavens and the earth!
Everyone present felt their shoulders bear ten times the pressure, and some weaker martial artists even fell to their knees.
Chen Xiao, on the other hand, remained unfazed, looking at Huangfu Xiao and saying, "What are you barking about?"
Seeing Chen Xiao like this, Huangfu Xiao was greatly alarmed.
How was this possible? His oppressive aura had no effect on him?
Although Huangfu Xiao appeared rough in appearance, he was actually a man of deep thought. If it were any other time, facing an opponent like Chen Xiao, he would have proceeded with caution.
However, he was currently grieving the loss of his son and had no mind to consider such things. All he wanted now was to tear Chen Xiao apart with his own hands.
"Wuji. Eight Immortals Palm!"
Huangfu Xiao circulated his energy and pushed his palms forward!
Simultaneously, a pair of giant palms suddenly appeared in the air, glowing with a green light and exuding immense weight!
As these palms appeared, ordinary martial artists felt an urge to kneel and worship them, as if witnessing a divine miracle.
"Boy, today I will smash you into a meat patty and avenge my son!"
*Splat—*
Huangfu Xiao clapped his palms together, and the two giant palms also merged, trapping Chen Xiao in between!
*Rumble—*
Thick smoke billowed from the impact site, shaking the earth and mountains, the effect comparable to an earthquake!
Huangfu Xiao panted, a sinister grin on his lips.
With this palm strike, he had used his full strength. Even a Martial Venerable of the same level would not be able to escape unscathed.
In his opinion, Chen Xiao had already been reduced to a bloody pulp.
However, when the smoke cleared, Chen Xiao stood there, completely unharmed.
He stretched his neck and yawned, then looked at Huangfu Xiao with a playful expression and said, "Now that's more like it, old man. What is this Eight Immortals Palm of yours? Give me two more hits so I can have some fun..."
