150: Results of spiritual practice (Part 2)

"What is that?"

The three of them felt countless strands of Sword Qi mixed with lightning crashing down beneath the thunderous light.

Boom!

A massive roar accompanied the explosion.

In an instant, everyone in the battle turned their heads to look!

"What's going on?"

"Who made a move?"

Seeing this scene, the group of Hunters from the Western Continent showed no fear; instead, they grew increasingly excited!

"It's them!"

"The three lords have made their move!"

When they were being hoodwinked into joining together by Luo Hao...

Luo Hao had said that there were three experts in this team even more powerful than himself.

At that time, the group didn't think much of it, feeling that Luo Hao's strength at the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment alone was enough to crush all the Prodigies in the Danger Zone.

They didn't expect an unexpected intruder like Cheng Yaojin to suddenly appear halfway through.

Chen Xian's power struck fear into them.

Now, those three must have made their move.

"You useless trash are finished."

"Those three are Golden Core Stage experts; slaughtering you all will be effortless!"

"They are the backbone of our Western Continent Hunter Band. You're finished!"

Rumors and gossip are the easiest way to incite panic.

These Prodigies were originally locked in a heated battle with the people from the Western Continent.

But hearing this, fear once again took hold of their hearts.

"Is there really a Golden Core Stage?"

"If that's the case, will we still die?"

At this moment, some people began to gradually retreat.

The first thing they thought of was to flee!

Now that Luo Hao was dead, the group from the Western Continent was like a heap of loose sand.

Seizing this opportunity to escape was the best choice.

Pei Ning and the others also had heavy hearts.

Unlike these Prodigies, they had seen with their own eyes that Chen Xian was in that direction.

If he went up against three people at the Golden Core Stage...

Even if Chen Xian were made of iron, he would surely be no match!

Just as Pei Ning was about to go closer to take a look...

Suddenly, a dark figure darted out.

Pfft!

A man in black robes appeared as if he had been kicked out, rolling several times on the ground.

He finally lay flat on the ground.

He tried to get up but lacked the strength.

"Could this be one of those three lords?"

"That's impossible!"

"But why is the aura radiating from his body at the Golden Core Stage!"

The appearance of this person threw the scene into chaos, even entering a brief stalemate.

Because of his appearance, the smug smiles of the Western Continent people gradually froze.

Their greatest trump card, a Golden Core Stage expert, whom they thought could turn the tide, had been beaten like a dead dog.

On the other side, within the Prodigy camp, they had originally wanted to run, but seeing this...

Their hearts were conflicted, because those lunatics from the Western Continent were right—they did have a Golden Core Stage expert. But who had beaten this Golden Core Stage expert into such a state?

While both sides were caught in an awkward atmosphere...

Another dark figure was knocked out of the dust and smoke, but this time, a strand of Sword Qi followed the man.

It flew straight in the direction the man was flying.

Until the Golden Core Stage expert crashed into a huge boulder, and the Sword Qi pinned him directly to the rock.

"Who on earth is it?"

"It couldn't be Chen Xian again, could it?"

"Impossible. No matter how strong Chen Xian is, he's at most at the Foundation Establishment Stage. How could he possibly defeat a Golden Core Stage expert?"

However, just as that person finished speaking...

Chen Xian walked out of the dust and smoke, dragging a person.

He panted and said, "Holy crap, taking on three at once was a bit overconfident after all!"

Moon Demon stood on his shoulder, rolled its eyes, and said, "You finished off three Golden Cores in less than fifteen minutes! That's already good enough!"

"This round of showing off is plenty for you."

The conversation between the man and the cat...

...was heard clearly by everyone present.

Three Golden Core Stage experts were indeed dealt with by this man.

This Marquis of Jubei of the Da Gan Dynasty, the rumored useless second generation ancestor!

He’s a damn human killing machine.

The group of Prodigies now looked at Chen Xian without any of their previous contempt.

Nor did they have any intention of being defiant.

Before this man's battle record, their self-esteem and dignity had long been beaten back to their original forms.

Chen Xian looked at the Prodigies and said with a faint smile, "What are you still standing there for?"

"These scumbags killed so many of your people; are you really going to let them walk out of the Secret Realm in peace?"

His single sentence instantly ignited the crowd.

"That's right, these scumbags killed so many of us. Why should we let them get away scot-free!"

"This time, the tables have turned!"

The Prodigies began to take frantic revenge on the Cultivators from the Western Continent.

Once again, the scene was filled with the sounds of bloody slaughter.

However, this time, the Western Continent Cultivators were like they had lost their backbone, having no heart for the fight.

Even if they fought, they crumbled at the first touch.

Chen Xian led his people and stood atop a hill.

"How is she?"

Zhou Duoer said with some worry, "She's still unconscious."

Chen Xian fed Zi Yun two Medicinal Pills before stopping.

Meanwhile, Pei Ning stood beside Chen Xian, her eyes fixed intently on him.

"Chen Xian, just how strong are you?"

At this moment, it wasn't just her; this was also what the ten Embroidered Uniform Guards wanted to ask.

Just how strong was this man?

Even Golden Core Stage Cultivators were defeated at his feet.

Chen Xian said mysteriously, "Just a billion little bits stronger than you, I guess!"

A little bit?

Pei Ning didn't quite believe it.

But seeing that the man was unwilling to discuss it further, she realized she couldn't dig out anything useful.

She turned her gaze toward the group of frenzied Prodigies.

"What are your plans after this?"

"What plans?"

"Those people—how do you plan to handle them?"

Chen Xian said with a smile, "Naturally, I'll squeeze them for a sum."

"With so many Prodigies, if you build good relations with them, given their status, they could surely speak to the Emperor on your behalf after leaving, and perhaps save your life!"

Pei Ning also vaguely felt that once Chen Xian left and was escorted back to the Imperial Palace by them, things would likely end badly for him.

Now was the perfect opportunity to expand his network.

No matter what, it was at least a glimmer of hope for survival!

But hearing this, Chen Xian burst out laughing.

"Are you trying to save me or harm me?"

Pei Ning was infuriated by Chen Xian's smile.

"How am I harming you?"

"I am deeply grateful for the intelligence you gave me back then, which is why I'm pointing out a way to survive. How has it become me trying to harm you?"

Chen Xian said with a melancholy expression, "First of all, no matter what, in the Emperor's eyes, I am already a dead man. So no matter how I struggle, it's all in vain. Having these Prodigies speak for me will only accelerate my death!"

"Secondly, these Prodigies are merely brought together by interest and will scatter once the interest is gone!"

"Do you think you can truly befriend them in just one short day?"

"They only gathered together because those lunatics from the Western Continent were too crazy, killing everyone on sight. Now that the Western Continent group is dead, next is when they'll start tearing into each other like dogs!"
