The Heavenly Grade A potential value was enough to warrant protection from a Divine Hall envoy.
Third Master Duan froze, while Duan Haoze, having narrowly escaped death, immediately became arrogant again.
"Hahahaha, Third Uncle, you didn't expect this, did you! With the Divine Hall's protection, you can't just touch me now... You just wait, one day I'll trample you under my feet, and that guy named Chen, I'll kill you myself!"
"Duan Haoze, you unfilial beast, you actually want to trample me under your feet?"
Hearing Duan Haoze's threat, Third Master Duan was so enraged he felt his senses leave him.
"So what if I'm unfilial! What can you do about it!"
Duan Haoze hid behind the envoy, provocatively glaring at Third Master Duan with a smug look.
Third Master Duan was almost exploding with anger but was helpless. After all, with a Divine Hall envoy protecting this beast, he couldn't possibly oppose the Divine Hall.
He shrugged helplessly at Chen Xiao, "Mr. Chen, I'm truly sorry, I can do nothing."
"Alright, since you can do nothing, then I'll handle it myself."
Chen Xiao said calmly, then walked forward.
Third Master Duan was stunned, "Mr. Chen, Duan Haoze is protected by the Divine Hall, please don't do anything foolish!"
"So what if he's protected by the Divine Hall? No one can protect someone I, Chen Xiao, want to kill."
Chen Xiao stated calmly.
The surrounding onlookers were all stunned. What did this kid mean? Was he going to fight a Divine Hall envoy? Was he crazy?
Could it be that he was driven mad by the shock of failing to strike the Zhen Tian Bell?
Yes, it must be that!
Lu Datou pursed his lips, ultimately wanting to speak but stopping himself.
As for Gongsun Yi and the other two, they exchanged glances and caught a hint of excitement in each other's eyes.
Chen Xiao walked step by step towards Duan Haoze. The envoy guarding Duan Haoze looked bewildered.
Because he couldn't understand at all why a mere martial artist from the secular world dared to provoke a Divine Hall envoy!
"Sir, I can only advise you one thing: do not step any further, or you will be killed without mercy!"
The envoy said coldly.
Several other envoys stood nearby, but they showed no intention of acting, standing with their arms crossed and watching coldly.
In their opinion, dealing with a martial artist from the secular world was more than enough for one envoy; using two would be a disgrace to the Divine Hall!
After hearing the envoy's words, Chen Xiao's footsteps did not falter at all. He coldly replied, "I can only advise you one thing as well: if you don't want to die, get out of my way. A mere Martial Spirit cannot protect someone I, Chen Xiao, want to kill!"
Duan Haoze shouted from behind the envoy, "Envoy, what are you waiting for? This kid is asking for death, hurry up and make your move!"
However, the envoy was slightly taken aback, as this person actually knew about Martial Spirits, clearly indicating he was not an ordinary person from the secular world.
"Who exactly are you? Are you perhaps enraged because you couldn't strike the Zhen Tian Bell?"
Even knowing Chen Xiao wasn't ordinary, the envoy still didn't take him seriously.
After all, he was someone who couldn't strike the Zhen Tian Bell, his strength was limited.
Chen Xiao sneered dismissively, "Others are blind, are your Divine Hall envoys also blind? You say I didn't strike the Zhen Tian Bell? Why don't you open your dog eyes wider and take a good look!"
Hearing these words, everyone was filled with suspicion. It didn't strike, so what was there to deny? They weren't deaf...
Besides, striking was something heard, not seen. Why would he tell them to open their eyes and look closely?
However, the envoy still followed Chen Xiao's words and took a closer look.
Upon this closer inspection, his face immediately showed surprise!
Because he discovered that the Zhen Tian Bell had not failed to strike.
It was still ringing even now.
It was just that the frequency was too high, and ordinary ears simply couldn't capture such a high-frequency sound.
But by observing carefully with their eyes, one could see the Zhen Tian Bell vibrating rapidly...
Just then, the Zhen Tian Bell, unable to withstand the excessively rapid vibrations, developed a crack on its surface.
Once the crack appeared, it rapidly expanded until, with a *ka*, the Zhen Tian Bell split into two.
This scene stunned everyone!
But apart from the envoy, no one understood what had happened. 138 Reading Network
In their eyes, the Zhen Tian Bell had simply cracked suddenly.
"You scoundrel, who exactly are you? Do you want to be enemies with our Divine Hall by daring to damage our Divine Hall's treasured artifact?"
The envoy shouted sternly!
"Noisy!"
Chen Xiao impatiently pointed a finger, and a surge of energy instantly severed the envoy's neck. Blood gushed out, spraying into the air like a fountain.
"You told me to strike it, and now that it's broken, you blame me? Does your Divine Hall have any sense of reason?"
The envoy clutched his neck, but he couldn't stop the torrent of blood.
"Uh... Ka..."
He tried to speak, but his mouth just moved dryly, unable to emit any sound.
Finally, he fell to the ground with a thud, dead.
All of this happened within a mere three seconds.
A Divine Hall envoy had died at Chen Xiao's hands.
Let alone the ordinary martial artists, even the other Divine Hall envoys hadn't reacted!
Their lack of reaction wasn't due to slow reflexes, but rather they couldn't believe that a martial artist from the secular world could kill a Divine Hall envoy!
Duan Haoze, watching the envoy die before his eyes, was so terrified his eyes widened, his eyeballs almost popping out.
He finally understood that Third Uncle's actions of hitting and stopping him earlier weren't aimed at him, but were genuinely to save him!
It was a pity that he understood this truth far too late...
