300: Chapter 300 Being a blond guy is only fun when you see it in person!

Feeling the tense, delicate body of the woman in his arms and her protective actions, Cao Kun muttered to himself.

"This personal maid was worth spoiling; she knows to block in front of me when danger strikes."

Just for this loyalty alone, the top-tier Physique I am about to invest in her is already worth the price.

In truth, if it weren't for Pei Qinglan still being in his arms, Cao Kun had originally intended to stand still and take it head-on.

After all, the yin-yang dharma robe he was wearing was impervious to water and fire, capable of nullifying all fire-attribute attacks,

but now that Pei Qinglan had been so sensible as to block in front of him,

he naturally could not let his woman get hurt.

"Be good. With me here, it's just a dead loach; it can't turn the heavens upside down."

Cao Kun lowered his head and whispered in Pei Qinglan's ear to soothe her.

Afterward, he raised his head and looked at the roaring Heaven-Burning Fire Dragon.

Within his eyes, the phantom image of dark golden double pupils swirled, resembling two rotating great suns.

A great power that transcended this world descended with a roar!

Cao Kun's expression was indifferent, like an ancient emperor who dominated life and death.

His thin lips parted slightly, and he calmly spat out four words:

"Space Stagnation."

As his voice fell, time and space within the hall were forcibly pressed to a pause.

That baring-fangs-and-brandishing-claws Heaven-Burning Fire Dragon was forcibly stopped just an inch from the tip of Cao Kun's nose!

Inside its gaping maw, the fangs were clearly visible.

Even the scattered sparks dancing at the edge of the flames and the layers of heat waves distorting the air were perfectly frozen in mid-air.

The entire fire dragon maintained its pouncing posture, yet it could no longer advance even a fraction, completely losing all movement.

Elder Yan maintained the posture of pushing his hands forward, his eyes filled with the hope of imminent success.

But he soon discovered that his connection to the fire dragon had been completely severed.

No matter how he urged his Soul Power, that fire dragon remained like a lifeless statue, not moving a single bit.

"Fearless..."

Cao Kun looked at Elder Yan, who was close at hand and whose eyes were gradually filling with despair, and sneered disdainfully, with the utmost mockery.

"Is it because of ignorance?"

The next second.

Inside Cao Kun's body, that Chaos Qi, which could forcibly assimilate even the Laws of the Heavenly Dao, erupted with a roar!

The grey-black air current surged out from his palm, destroying everything in its path and sweeping across everything.

It crashed directly into the frozen Heaven-Burning Fire Dragon.

Wherever it passed, all things were dissolved and assimilated; not even a single spark remained.

After devouring the fire dragon, the remaining force of the Chaos Qi wave did not diminish, crashing directly onto Elder Yan, who was in a possessed state.

"Ah!"

Elder Yan let out a miserable scream.

His Soul Power, which was attached within Xiao Chen's body, was mercilessly torn apart and scattered by the Chaos Qi.

The grey-black air current even followed his Meridians, heading straight for the black iron ring where he was hiding.

"No! My Origin!"

Accompanied by a wail of unwillingness, Elder Yan completely lost control of this body.

His remaining Soul transformed into a streak of light, hurriedly retreating back into that black iron ring, and there was no more movement.

And Xiao Chen himself, having lost the support of the Soul, was once again sent flying by the air wave.

After rolling on the ground a dozen times and knocking over three or four stone pillars, he finally collapsed and stopped like a dead dog.

The Space Stagnation was lifted.

The Cultivators in the hall finally woke up as if from a dream.

When they saw that the terrifying fire dragon had already disappeared,

and that the arrogant black-robed person had been beaten half-dead once again, the entire venue erupted in an uproar.

In their eyes, the truth of the matter was already clear:

Not only did this black-robed person fail to compete in wealth by bringing out a cheap item,

but even when Young Master Cao was magnanimous and chose not to hold it against him, he secretly used evil arts, wanting to put Young Master Cao to death!

The Cultivators were all enraged now, filled with righteous indignation.

Although the Cultivation world is cruel, it also values face and rules.

This kind of behavior—unable to accept defeat in public and stabbing someone in the back—was the most despicable.

Everyone became messengers of justice, pointing at Xiao Chen, who was lying on the ground gasping for air, and cursing him roundly.

"What an ungrateful wretch! Earlier, this Young Master had already magnanimously forgiven him; as long as he compensated for the loss of the shattered display cabinet, it would have been fine."

"He actually dared to secretly launch a lethal attack, ambushing and harming the Young Master!"

"Indeed! What a shameless thing! His cultivation is not high, but his heart is truly vicious!"

"The Treasure Pavilion must never let such scum go in the future!"

Everyone spoke one after another, their spittle almost drowning Xiao Chen.

Listening to the condemnation from those around, Pei Qinglan's face darkened.

This person actually dared to use such a lethal move against Cao Kun.

If not for Cao Kun's heaven-reaching strength, that fire dragon just now would have been enough to raze the entire first floor of the Treasure Pavilion to the ground.

Daring to touch her man, this was touching Pei Qinglan's life!

Her beautiful face was covered in frost, her willow-leaf eyebrows raised, and she ordered with intense Killing Intent:

"Someone come! Take this ignorant, death-seeking dog down! Destroy his Qi Sea cultivation, sever his hand and foot tendons, and throw him to the back mountain to feed the dogs!"

Several Void Refinement Stage guards of the Treasure Pavilion immediately accepted the order, drew the Magical Artifacts from their waists, and walked toward Xiao Chen with intense Killing Intent.

Xiao Chen lay in a pool of blood, listening to Pei Qinglan's vicious words, his heart filled with unwillingness.

He wanted to resist, but he was seriously injured and couldn't even mobilize his spiritual energy.

Calling out to Elder Yan in his mind also yielded no response.

Is it destined that I, Xiao Chen, the inheritor of the true Dragon Bloodline, must fall in this remote branch hall?

He was not reconciled!

"Wait."

Just as the guards were about to make a move, Cao Kun raised his hand slightly, stopping the guards who were preparing to step forward.

He calculated in his mind.

This is a Son of Luck certified by the System; I haven't finished shearing his wool yet.

How a pity it would be to kill him directly.

Keeping his half-life, I can subdue Guan Linger in front of him later.

That feeling is the most satisfying!

Furthermore, the task for Phase 2 is to snatch his confidante, Guan Linger.

He was not sure if killing him directly would cause the task to fail.

Pei Qinglan was taken aback and looked at Cao Kun with some confusion:

"Young Master, keeping such low-class trash only dirties your eyes; why not..."

"No rush." Cao Kun patted the back of Pei Qinglan's hand.

He slowly paced over to Xiao Chen's side, looking down at this Son of Luck who had just regained control of his body.

He stepped on Xiao Chen's right hand, which was wearing the black iron ring.

"Crack."

The sound of finger bones breaking was clearly audible.

"Ah!" Xiao Chen wailed, cold sweat instantly soaking his entire body.

"Your Excellency has been hiding your head and showing your tail for so long; do you not intend to show your true face?"

"Or is it to cover up some other unspeakable shady business?"

Once these words were spoken, Xiao Chen's already pale face instantly turned ashen.

He actually knows the secret of the ring?!

Xiao Chen tried to hide the panic in his heart and feigned calmness.

"You... what do you mean? I don't understand what you are talking about at all! My skills are inferior, so do whatever you want—kill or torture me—but stop making false accusations here!"

"You don't understand?"

Cao Kun sneered, the force under his foot increasing by a few points, directly crushing half of Xiao Chen's palm.

"Stop pretending. Who can you fool with that guilty expression?"

"Since that old Senior hiding inside wants to keep playing the coward, then this Junior..."

"will just have to invite you out personally!"

As his voice fell, a mass of grey-black Chaos Qi began to condense in the palm of Cao Kun's hand.

He reached directly for the black iron ring on Xiao Chen's finger!
