22: My brother is such a pervert!

"I want to see!"

Jiang Susu nodded vigorously, her large, watery eyes filled with curiosity.

Meeting her curious gaze, Chen Qingxuan pulled out a scroll covered in numerous eerie runes;

As he infused Profound Power into it, the scroll suddenly soared into the air and unfurled.

Roar—

Immediately after, an oppressive beast roar descended from the sky, followed by black smoke billowing from the scroll, condensing into the soul of an exotic beast as large as a mountain, with a green face and sharp fangs.

"Brother... what is this?"

Seeing such a massive creature, Jiang Susu opened her small mouth in shock.

"This is a beast soul scroll, a container used to seal the power of exotic beasts. In times of danger, you only need a small amount of Profound Power to control the beast soul within to fight."

Jiang Susu said in surprise, "Then are we safe?"

"Hehe."

Chen Qingxuan simply smiled.

He didn't hesitate to use this precious beast soul scroll, but it wasn't to deal with the few small fry chasing them; he had other plans.

"A Core Transformation Realm beast soul... we're no match for it!"

"Stall them for now... I've already notified the Old Ancestor... the Old Ancestor will be here soon."

Seeing that massive beast soul, the pursuers were dumbfounded.

A beast soul scroll with Core Transformation Realm power was an absolutely priceless treasure; even they wouldn't dare dream of owning one.

Furthermore, with their current strength, they couldn't deal with this beast soul at all.

At this point, they could only brace themselves and step forward to contend with the beast soul, hoping to stall until reinforcements arrived.

Seeing that the plan had begun, Chen Qingxuan flew away with Jiang Susu. Compared to before, the speed of their escape had slowed down significantly.

"The rest of you deal with the beast soul, I'll go stop them."

Seeing the situation, the leader immediately chased after Chen Qingxuan.

Dozens of miles later.

The middle-aged man had noticed something unusual. Every time he was about to catch up to the two, the distance would widen again. Yet every time the distance widened, it gave him the illusion that he could catch up... Before he could realize he was being played, he saw Chen Qingxuan come to a stop.

"Kid, you can't escape. Surrender quietly..." The man was overjoyed and instantly threw his suspicions to the back of his mind.

After all, in his eyes, both Chen Qingxuan and Jiang Susu were just little brats who hadn't grown up yet, nothing to be feared.

With a calm smile on his face, Chen Qingxuan inquired, "Which power does Your Excellency come from? Where is your exact location? How many experts do you have? And what is the strength of those people? Oh, and..."

"?"

Hearing Chen Qingxuan's census-like questioning, the middle-aged man was completely bewildered.

In the next moment, he couldn't help but laugh out of anger, "Heh, kid, what's the meaning of this—"

Slash—

Before he could finish his sentence, Chen Qingxuan picked up Jiang Susu and directly controlled the divine phoenix sword to strike the man. "If you're unwilling to answer... I have plenty of ways to make you talk."

"What?"

Upon feeling the cold glint of the divine phoenix sword, the middle-aged man turned pale with fright.

What was going on?

This sword... what was with it?

How could the man, who only had Bone Forging Realm strength, withstand the cold glint of the divine phoenix sword?

"Ah—"

In just an instant, a hysterical scream rang out.

The middle-aged man had just tried to dodge, but before he could even circulate his Profound Power, the lightning-fast sword had already sliced through his arm;

An arm flew into the sky, tracing a graceful arc in the air.

"My, my hand..." The middle-aged man's face was deathly pale as he looked at Chen Qingxuan in terror. "Who exactly are you?"

He hadn't taken Chen Qingxuan seriously before, but now that he had experienced the horror of the divine phoenix sword, he finally realized something was wrong.

The youth before him... was by no means an ordinary person.

If that sword strike hadn't been aimed at his arm, but at his throat... he would already be a warm corpse by now.

Chen Qingxuan sneered in response, "You've been searching for me all over the streets... yet you ask me who I am?"

"Hmm?"

The middle-aged man's expression shifted.

Meeting Chen Qingxuan's mocking gaze, he suddenly woke up. "Kid, so you lured me here on purpose. Do you know what kind of existence my Zhao Family is—"

"Oh? I really don't know that. I'm all ears."

Chen Qingxuan signaled.

Under his provocation, the middle-aged man decisively spoke of his background. The Zhao Family was the most prosperous thousand-year-old Family within a thousand-mile radius.

The old man who had coveted the divine phoenix sword earlier was none other than the Zhao Family Old Ancestor, Zhao Wuying.

A genuine Void Integration Realm powerhouse!

Although the Zhao Family was just a Family, with this Void Integration Realm Old Ancestor backing them, their influence could be said to be no less than that of ordinary small sects.

That was why they had the capability to set up an inescapable net in the surrounding towns to search for Chen Qingxuan.

"That kind of pressure... as expected, he's a Void Integration Realm old monster!"

Chen Qingxuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Kid, our Old Ancestor will be here soon..."

The middle-aged man tried to use Zhao Wuying as a threat;

After all, from just that one exchange, he clearly realized... if he couldn't make Chen Qingxuan wary, he would surely die.

At this moment, he could only rely on the Zhao Family's background.

Seeing that Chen Qingxuan didn't react, he thought the intimidation had worked. "Haha, scared now? A mere little brat actually dares to make an enemy of my Zhao Family. You're really refusing to do things the easy way—"

Slash—

Before he could finish, a cold glint sliced through his neck, and his voice instantly turned into a choke.

"You, you..."

The middle-aged man clutched his neck, his bloodshot eyes staring fixedly at Chen Qingxuan, as if he couldn't believe the latter still dared to act;

And it was a lethal strike!

"A small fry... with so much nonsense... do you really think you're the protagonist?"

Chen Qingxuan snorted in disdain.

He then summoned the divine phoenix sword back and headed straight for the Zhao Family with Jiang Susu.

A mere thousand-year-old Family not only coveted his divine phoenix sword but even dared to pursue him relentlessly. If outsiders found out, they'd think he was some trash-stream transmigrator!

Now, the identities of hunter and prey were officially swapped!

"Brother... can we beat that old geezer?" Jiang Susu asked, tilting her head after realizing Chen Qingxuan was going to the Zhao Family.

"Don't worry, your brother isn't some hothead... everything is within my calculations."

The corner of Chen Qingxuan's mouth curled into a smile.

As someone in the Bone Forging Realm, there was still a massive chasm between him and a Void Integration Realm old monster, with the Core Transformation Realm in between. He certainly wasn't confident enough to think he could kill the opponent just by relying on the divine phoenix sword;

At least for now... the divine phoenix sword hadn't become powerful enough for that.

But to deal with that old monster, Chen Qingxuan already had a plan—the Core Transformation Realm beast soul!

At this moment, the scene of the Core Transformation Realm beast soul contending with the Zhao Family experts was clear to Chen Qingxuan through the power of the scroll, just waiting for that Zhao Family Old Ancestor to arrive—

A big gift would make him never forget it for the rest of his life!

And the moment the Zhao Family Old Ancestor met the beast soul would also be the best opportunity for him to raid the Zhao Family.

"Jie jie jie~"

At the thought of raiding his home base, Chen Qingxuan let out an excited laugh.

When that old geezer returns to find the Family he has protected for a thousand years destroyed... tsk, I wonder what kind of expression he'll have?

It’s practically like NTR!

"Speaking of NTR... as a Void Integration Realm powerhouse... I wonder if he has a tender and succulent young wife at home?"

Chen Qingxuan rubbed his chin.

"Brother's smile is so perverted~"

At this time, Jiang Susu looked at Chen Qingxuan with sparkling eyes.

"Eh?"

Chen Qingxuan was dazed for a moment;

Only now did he realize the Little Girl was still clinging to him... no wonder his body felt soft and warm, and a fragrant scent was wafting into his nose.

"Susu, come down first..." After swallowing his words, Chen Qingxuan tried to pull the Little Girl off him.

"No... Brother's killing is too scary... Susu is afraid..."

Jiang Susu immediately became nervous.

It was fine when Chen Qingxuan wasn't paying attention, but as soon as he said he would put her down, the Little Girl began to resist like a startled bird.

To prevent being pulled down by Chen Qingxuan, she not only raised her small hands to wrap around Chen Qingxuan's neck but also clamped onto Chen Qingxuan from the front with her legs... [image]
