296: Beaten severely

“That… that actually makes sense!”

More people gathered around: Dai Dabai, Tang Sirui, Zhu Zhu, Rou Wu, and Qinglan Fairy...

However, none of them spoke, each lost in their own thoughts.

Tang Sirui thought this was good; if Chen Xuan’s reputation was ruined, he would have no choice but to dutifully offer Peach Blossom to him. Dai Dabai felt the same; as long as Chen Xuan’s reputation was tarnished, bringing him to the White Tiger Empire would be much easier.

The other three women consisted of two who were jealous and one who was watching the show.

And when Yan Xi heard the discussions around him, his heart filled with even more rage. So this was how he appeared in others' eyes! What the hell do you know? Licking the Zhai family’s Young Miss’s boots… can that even be called licking?!

No, he absolutely had to drive Chen Xuan away from Ningning this time!

“Well, Chen Xuan, do you have anything else to say?” Yan Xi pressed on.

Chen Xuan didn't answer. He simply looked calmly at Zhai Ningning, then gently turned the young girl's face to meet his gaze, his eyes full of tenderness.

Yan Xi watched, consumed by jealousy.

Zhai Ningning felt a little embarrassed under Chen Xuan’s gaze and could only step forward to speak:

“Enough, Yan Xi! What are you doing? Chen Xuan was indeed treating me. I haven’t even said anything, so why are you making such a fuss? I’m telling you, don’t be so arrogant. I’m not a fool who can be easily deceived!”

Zhai Ningning’s words stunned Yan Xi.

“Ningning, you, what do you mean?” Yan Xi asked, somewhat disbelievingly.

Zhai Ningning looked at Yan Xi, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes. What a useless person who causes more harm than good. She had intended to use him to get closer to Chen Xuan, but she didn’t expect him to even bring up that Chen Xuan was a member of the Demonic Path!

“Hmph, what do you think I mean! I was just seeking normal treatment from Chen Xuan, and you immediately claimed he was a member of the Demonic Path. What evidence do you have? Yan Xi, I truly didn’t expect you to be such a petty person, slandering others at will!”

“I…” Yan Xi was left speechless by Zhai Ningning’s retort, standing frozen in place.

“No, it shouldn’t be like this! Ningning, you’ve been manipulated by him. I’ll help you break free! Chen Xuan, prepare to die!”

As Yan Xi spoke, he lunged towards Chen Xuan, intending to kill him.

Tang Sirui and the others remained expressionless. He only needed to rescue Chen Xuan when he was half-dead.

The other three women were completely unconcerned. They already knew Chen Xuan’s capabilities; with a mere flick of his finger, Yan Xi would be no match.

“Yan Xi, stop!” Yu Gang, unaware of the truth, quickly intervened.

“Yan Xi, what are you doing? You are not allowed to harm Brother Chen Xuan!” Zhai Ningning immediately shielded Chen Xuan, releasing her Pagoda Immortal Soul.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan sneered. He openly took out a blood-red Medicinal Pill and swallowed it.

“That, that’s… a Blood Burning Pill! It grants power by burning one’s essence blood, but it causes irreversible damage!” Someone immediately recognized the Medicinal Pill Chen Xuan had consumed.

“This Yan Xi, his character is truly terrible, bullying the weak!”

“Just because Chen Xuan is good-looking, he’s so jealous he’s unrecognizable, even wanting to kill him!”

“What a scoundrel!”

...

Seeing Chen Xuan swallow the Medicinal Pill, his Aura soaring, Yan Xi’s forward attack immediately halted.

Setting aside whether he could defeat the drugged Chen Xuan, simply by Chen Xuan taking this Medicinal Pill, he had already won; there was no need to continue.

But Chen Xuan couldn't be bothered with these thoughts. With a flicker of his body, he appeared before Yan Xi, grabbed his arm, and directly slammed him onto the arena, causing the entire platform to crack.

Then Chen Xuan proceeded to throw Yan Xi around like Hulk throwing Loki.

“Yan Xi, do you really think you have any ability?”

Chen Xuan sneered, “Look at you, you can’t even defeat me, the one you slandered, and you still want my life? How utterly ridiculous!”

Upon hearing this, Yan Xi was stunned. He hadn't expected Chen Xuan to be so excessive. He had already stopped, yet Chen Xuan dared to retaliate! Moreover, he dared to humiliate him in public, causing him to tremble with rage.

“Chen Xuan, you Demonic Path scoundrel, today I will act on behalf of the Heavenly Dao and eliminate you!”

Yan Xi roared, pulled out another Medicinal Pill, swallowed it, and was about to launch an attack.

“Good, since you’re so eager to die, I’ll grant your wish!”

As soon as his words fell, Chen Xuan made his move. His speed was extremely fast (to the extent that outsiders perceived flaws), and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Yan Xi.

“How can you be so… ”

Yan Xi trembled with fright. Before he could react, Chen Xuan had already punched him in the chest, sending him flying.

Chen Xuan gave Yan Xi no further chances. His figure flickered, and he was once again in front of Yan Xi, kicking him in the face.

Yan Xi felt a sharp pain, and his entire body flew out, landing heavily on the ground.

Chen Xuan didn't use too much force with that kick, but it was enough to severely injure Yan Xi. He lay on the ground, spitting blood, unable to stand up again.

“Ding! Destiny Person Yan Xi has suffered a severe blow. Reward Host with 5000 Heaven's Mandate Value, Intermediate Recipe * 1, and 5 lottery chances!”

“Indeed, everyone in their Monster Squad is a Destiny Person, but among them, Tang Sirui has the highest Luck!” Chen Xuan suddenly understood upon seeing the reward.

“But why was Dai Dabai only related to a Destiny Child in the Lower Realm back then?”

“Ding! Due to the absence of two Destiny Children in the Mountain and Sea Realm, the unconscious Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Realm immediately made a remedy, intending to replenish the number of future Immortal Kings!”

“So that’s it… then this becomes much more interesting, hehehe!”

“But what is this Intermediate Recipe? What a strange item!”

“Ding! Host will know upon opening and viewing.”

“…”

“Never mind, there’s still important business here. I’ll deal with it later.”

Then, Chen Xuan walked forward and kicked Yan Xi, who lay like a dead dog.

“You’re truly pathetic, so easily defeated. With your level, you dare to provoke me? You’re worse than the dog over there! If not for a good team, how could you have won the championship? Hmm?!” Chen Xuan mocked disdainfully.

“Exactly, Fellow Daoist Chen is right! I’ve been annoyed with him for a long time!”

“That’s right, with such weak combat power, and his support isn’t even top-tier, I really don’t know how he managed to win the championship!”

“Hehe, maybe, he had some unknown dealings with his teammates in private!”

“Oh? Fellow Daoist, elaborate!”

“I happen to know that between male cultivators…”

Upon hearing this, Zhai Ningning looked at Yan Xi with horror, as if her eyes had been defiled, and quickly cowered beneath Chen Xuan.

“You, you… *cough*!” Yan Xi was consumed by rage, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

“Ding! Destiny Person Yan Xi’s mentality has collapsed. Reward Host with…”
