9: Chapter 9 The Simp Saint Arrives? A Slap Shoved into the Ground, Unable to Be Pulled Out

The Nine True Dragons carriage traveled steadily through the sea of clouds. Inside the carriage, it was warm and spring-like, while outside, the wind howled.

Su Qingge leaned in Xu Chen's arms. Her brows, which had relaxed due to the relief of the cold poison, were now slightly furrowed.

Although her body and mind had temporarily surrendered to that warmth, her keen intuition as a Cultivator told her that a highly unstable, violent Aura was approaching rapidly.

"What is it?"

Xu Chen noticed the anomaly in his beauty's arms, his fingers gently rubbing her smooth shoulders, his tone lazy.

"There is Killing Intent."

Su Qingge sat up straight, tidied her messy lapels, and her expression returned to a bit of coldness, "And this Aura... is very familiar."

Before she could finish, Boom!

A blood-red rainbow, like a burning meteorite, forcefully shattered the Void Realm in front of the carriage, blocking the path of the Xu Family fleet.

The Nine True Dragons let out a dissatisfied low roar, forced to stop their movement, their huge Dragon eyes snorting with disdain.

The blood-red rainbow dissipated, revealing a disheveled figure covered in blood and disheveled hair.

It was none other than the Tai Chu Holy Land Saint, Ye Liangchen, who had been dragged away for confinement.

At this moment, he no longer had his previous heroic image.

The golden battle armor on his body was shattered, and his skin was covered in strange blood-colored patterns. It was obvious that he had used some forbidden secret technique to burn his essence blood, allowing him to forcibly break through the Restriction and catch up.

"Xu Chen! Give Junior Sister Qingge back to me!"

Ye Liangchen held a broken spear, his eyes red like a ghost, and a beast-like roar came from his throat.

"Junior Sister Qingge is a Fairy from the heavens. Only a Prodigy like me, destined to become an Emperor in the future, is worthy of her!"

"You trash who relies on his Family, what right do you have to touch her?!"

"Let her go! Otherwise, I will bleed on the spot today, and I will drag you down with me!"

The shrill roar, mixed with the spiritual power fluctuations of burning life, stirred in the Void Realm, actually causing ripples in the surrounding space.

The hundred thousand Changsheng Guards behind instantly raised their long spears, and the Killing Intent erupted like a tsunami, waiting only for the Young Lord's order to grind this ignorant ant into dust.

Inside the carriage. Su Qingge heard this familiar voice, a trace of complexity flashing in her eyes.

Although she had no romantic feelings for Ye Liangchen, he was, after all, a Senior Brother who had been in the same sect as her for many years. Seeing him reduced to this inhuman state for her sake, she couldn't help but feel some pity.

"It's Senior Brother Ye..."

Su Qingge looked at Xu Chen, wanting to say something but stopping, "He must have suffered Qi Deviation. Can you..."

She wanted to plead for him, to let Xu Chen spare his life. But the words reached her lips and were swallowed back. Because she saw Xu Chen's eyes.

Those eyes, which originally carried a hint of teasing, had now become abnormally cold, as if looking at a disgusting fly.

"Can what? Can spare him?"

Xu Chen chuckled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, "Qingge, you must remember one thing."

"You are my woman."

"I don't like my woman caring about other men in front of me."

"Even if that man is a mad dog."

Su Qingge's heart trembled, and she instantly lowered her head, not daring to say another word.

Xu Chen reached out to lift the curtain and slowly walked out of the carriage. He stood on top of the huge Dragon head, hands behind his back, looking down at the madman blocking the road.

"Ye Liangchen, This Young Master originally thought you were just stupid."

"I didn't expect you to be not only stupid but also blind."

Xu Chen shook his head, his tone full of disappointment, "Look at yourself now."

"Burning essence blood, overdrawing potential, making yourself look like a fierce ghost."

"You think this is called deep affection? This is called moving?"

"No, this is called self-indulgence, this is called disgusting."

Ye Liangchen was stimulated by Xu Chen's words and trembled all over. He stared at Xu Chen, gritting his teeth:

"What do you know, someone born with a golden key in your mouth?!"

"Do not bully the young for being poor! Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river!"

"Although I am not as good as you today, as long as I have a breath left, I will surely be able to step on you in the future!"

"If Junior Sister Qingge were with me, I would be willing to die for her! Can you?!"

Ye Liangchen roared to the sky, the blood-red Aura on his body surged again, actually having a faint trend of breaking through the Dragon Transformation Realm and touching the threshold of the Sendai.

This is the so-called "bursting out".

According to the usual novel tropes, at this time the protagonist is often intimidated by the opponent's Aura, or suffers a small loss due to underestimating the enemy, and finally has to spend some effort to solve it.

But unfortunately. Xu Chen doesn't play by the rules.

"I don't know if I can die for you."

Xu Chen picked his ear, looking impatient, "But I know that you are going to die now."

"Moreover, the phrase 'Do not bully the young for being poor' is meant for people with potential."

"As for you?"

Xu Chen hooked his lips into a cruel arc, "For you, the dead are the greatest."

The voice fell. Xu Chen didn't even move a finger, just faintly spat out two words:

"Dark Elder."

Hum—! The world suddenly went silent.

Immediately after, a huge black hand covering the sky and sun appeared out of thin air above Ye Liangchen's head.

That huge hand was condensed from pure Law power, the palm prints like mountains and gullies, exuding a desperate Quasi-Emperor pressure.

In front of this huge hand, Ye Liangchen, who was just aggressive and preparing to counter-kill, was as small as an insignificant ant.

"This... this is..."

Ye Liangchen's pupils shrank, and the madness that had just ignited in his eyes was instantly replaced by endless fear.

He wanted to escape, wanted to resist, wanted to burn more essence blood. But under the lock of that Quasi-Emperor pressure, he couldn't even move a finger.

He could only watch helplessly as that huge hand, with the momentum of destroying everything, slowly fell.

"No! I am not reconciled!"

"I am the Child of Destiny! How can I die here!"

"Junior Sister Qingge! Save me!!"

Ye Liangchen let out a desperate wail, trying to arouse Su Qingge's sympathy.

However, Su Qingge inside the carriage just closed her eyes and turned her head away.

She was not cold-blooded, but had seen the reality clearly.

In this cruel Cultivation world, weakness is the original sin, and stupidity is a capital crime.

Ye Liangchen's actions were not only provoking the Xu Family, but also trampling on the survival bottom line of the Tai Chu Holy Land.

Xu Chen being able to tolerate him living until now was already the greatest mercy.

Boom! The black hand fell without any suspense.

As easy as swatting a mosquito.

The ground trembled, and smoke and dust rose.

Where was there half a figure at the Void Realm where Ye Liangchen was hovering?

Only a huge five-finger handprint, deep and bottomless with clear palm lines, remained in the mountains below.

As for Ye Liangchen? Let alone a corpse, not even slag was left.

Truly, in the physical sense, "slapped into the ground and couldn't be dug out".

An elder in a black robe, like a shadow, appeared silently behind Xu Chen and bowed.

"Young Lord, it has been handled cleanly."

It was precisely the Xu Family's Quasi-Emperor level guardian, Dark Elder.

The slap just now was his doing.

Xu Chen nodded, his expression indifferent, as if he had just asked someone to sweep away a fallen leaf.

"Continue on the journey."

Xu Chen turned and walked back to the carriage, saying to himself as he walked:

"What kind of status, to deserve to fight with me for a woman."

"In your next life, open your eyes wide before you come again."

Following Xu Chen's order, the Nine True Dragons let out another long roar, pulling the carriage rumbling over the Void Realm that had just been stained with blood, continuing to drive towards the direction of the Xu Family.

As for that Tai Chu Holy Land Saint who was once arrogant and clamored "Do not bully the young for being poor", from this moment on, he completely disappeared from this world.

Not even a ripple was stirred up.

Inside the carriage. Xu Chen returned to the couch.

Su Qingge still maintained her previous posture, but her face was a bit pale.

Although she had long known that the Imperial Clan acted domineeringly, seeing a Prodigy of the Dragon Transformation Realm crushed to death like an ant, the visual and psychological impact still made her feel shocked.

Is this absolute power? Is this the means of her future husband?

Cold, ruthless, yet powerful enough to be suffocating.

"What? Think I'm too cruel?"

Xu Chen reached out and lifted her chin, forcing her to look into his eyes.

Su Qingge looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and finally shook her head gently.

"No."

"It was he who sought his own death."

Su Qingge was a smart person. She knew what to say and what to do at this time.

Moreover, deep down, she had to admit that Xu Chen's posture of deciding life and death while laughing and talking was indeed more like a real man than Ye Liangchen, who only knew how to shout.

Even a King.

"Smart."

Xu Chen smiled with satisfaction, his fingers gently rubbing her smooth cheeks, "I just like smart women."

"Actually, I am a very reasonable person."

"If you don't come to provoke me, I am usually very kind."

"But if anyone wants to touch my things, especially touch my woman..."

Xu Chen leaned close to her red lips and whispered, "Then I can only let him not even have the chance to regret."

Su Qingge's heart skipped a beat. My... woman?

Although this title was very domineering, for some reason, hearing it in her ears at this moment actually made her feel an unprecedented sense of security.

In this world of the Law of the jungle, being protected by such a powerful man, perhaps... is also a kind of luck?

"Hu... Husband."

Su Qingge called out this title, as if possessed, her voice as thin as a mosquito's hum, but it clearly reached Xu Chen's ears.

Xu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then the smile on his face instantly bloomed.

"Hey, wifey is so obedient."

He hugged Su Qingge into his arms, his palm naturally covering that desirable softness.

"Ah!"

Su Qingge exclaimed, her body instantly softening into a pool of water.

"Since that annoying fly has been swatted to death, shouldn't we continue what we haven't finished just now?"

Xu Chen smiled wickedly, his fingers starting to wander dishonestly.

"Where were we talking about? Oh right, checking the Meridians."

"The Meridians on this arm are clear, shouldn't we check the other places... as well?"

"No... don't..."

Su Qingge was blushing with shame, wanting to push him away, but found that she couldn't use any strength at all.

"Don't?"

Xu Chen raised an eyebrow, "Wifey, your cold poison is all over your body. If we only treat the symptoms and not the root cause, what if it relapses?"

"Your husband is doing this for your body's sake."

Saying this, his hand had already reached under the layers of palace attire.

"Mmm..."

Su Qingge let out a suppressed soft groan, and her last line of defense completely collapsed at this moment.
