<h4>Chapter 675: External Incarnation</h4>


    However, Zhong Li did not know that this was just the start of this Saber Technique. A sea of lightning suddenly formed and exploded at him, immediately sting him back.


    “Die!”


    A saber light flew out at lightning speed from somewhere within the sea of lightning and arrived in a sh.


    The dark clouds scattered, allowing half the full moon to peek out. Coincidentally, as the moonlight lit the ce up again, there was a sh of scarlet, and Lone Wolf’s head flew off.


    Xiao Chen revealed himself and turned around gently. He sheathed his saber and caught the head. As he looked at the headless body on the ground, he let out the bated breath in his fatigued body.


    “I finally killed him!”


    ---


    Outside Heavenly Water City, Qiu Yi watched as Lone Wolf slowly fell down. He revealed a faint smile as he rxed his tense face.


    The others could not stop panting. They all had injuries on their bodies to some degree. As for their Quintessence, they had already long exhausted it and had consumed whatever Medicinal Pills they could.


    At this point, even a peak grade Medicinal Pill could not fully replenish their Quintessence in an instant. They had consumed too many Medicinal Pills in a short period of time and already built up some resistance.


    Qiu Yi sheathed his sword and said to the simrly fatigued Zhuo Ping, “We have expended too much Quintessence today. How about wepete for the proof ofpletion tomorrow when we have recovered?”


    Zhuo Ping nodded gently in wordless agreement. She did not have much Quintessence left, and her current condition was awful. Earlier, she had been fighting Lone Wolf on pure willpower.


    At this moment, when they finally rxed, they no longer had any fighting spirit. They could onlypete over the proof ofpletion tomorrow.


    Everything had gone ording to n. With a slight smile, Qiu Yi headedcently for Lone Wolf’s corpse. Then, he stretched his hand out to remove Lone Wolf’s mask.


    “Let’s see what you actually look like!”


    Qiu Yi pulled off Lone Wolf’s ck mask with a quick swipe. However, when he saw Lone Wolf’s appearance, his smile immediately froze.


    A face that Qiu Yi had not expected appeared. He cried out hoarsely, “How can this be?!”


    When the others saw this strange scene, they quickly came over to take a look. Their faces all drained of color, and they eximed, “Zhong Li! How can it be him?! How is this possible?!”


    “Chi! Chi!”


    Before everybody’s astonished gaze, Lone Wolf’s corpse shrank and eventually became the corpse of a white wolf.


    Zhuo Ping’s face sank as she said, “We have been fooled. This is the External Incarnation unique to the Half-Fiend Races. Their incarnation’s strength would be the same as the original body’s. This technique is extremely difficult to train in. Unexpectedly, Lone Wolf had learned it.”


    Qiu Yi’s expression turned cold. He sent out a sword Qi, chopping the white wolf’s body in half.


    “That Xiao Chen must have already suspected this earlier. We have to get back fast!”


    A murderous intent spread in Qiu Yi’s eyes, rendering them icy and terrifying.


    After preparing for half a month, doing everything meticulously, Qiu Yi had been foiled at thest moment. Right now, his mood was as bad as it could possibly be.


    The group had exhausted too much Quintessence already, so they did not dare to fly. They could only rush frantically towards the city center on foot.


    Along the way, Qiu Yi said sullenly, “It will definitely take those two some time to decide the victor. We still stand a chance.”


    Indeed it was as Qiu Yi said. When the crowd got to the City Lord’s Residence, they saw Xiao Chen removing a spatial ring from the hand of a headless corpse.


    Seeing the headless body, Qiu Yi was initially stunned. Then, he shouted, “Xiao Chen, you are really bold. You had already discovered that the masked man was Lone Wolf’s clone. Unexpectedly, you dared to y us for fools.”


    The moment Qiu Yi spoke, he tried to push the me onto Xiao Chen. He wanted to suppress Xiao Chen with reasoning.


    Xiao Chen had expected this group of people to rush over. He searched Lone Wolf’s body leisurely and discovered a secret manual. Then, before everyone’s extremely red eyes, he stored it.


    “It was not me tricking you all. It was Lone Wolf who had tricked you all. Full Moon Pavilion’s Qiu Yi, don’t use the wrong person,” Xiao Chen responded in a calm andid-back manner.


    Qiu Yi felt very angry. He hated that he could not p Xiao Chen to death. However, he had exhausted too much Quintessence and could not easily make a move. He could only say coldly, “Xiao Chen, ording to the agreement, no matter who obtained the proof ofpletion, we would split the treasures on Lone Wolf’s body.”


    Xiao Chen smiled without any concern. “Whose agreement? Since when have you asked me and since when have I agreed?”


    When Qiu Yi saw Xiao Chen’s attitude, not caring about him at all, the words he wanted to say stuck in his throat, remaining unspoken.


    “Xiao Chen, there is no point in continuing this pretense. You already gained an advantage, and yet you are still doing this. Quickly hand over the treasures of Lone Wolf. Otherwise, you can forget about walking out of this City Lord’s Residence.”


    “That’s right. Hand over Lone Wolf’s treasures right away. We will not press you for the proof ofpletion.”


    “We are already being very nice to you. You can take the proof ofpletion and leave. However, you have to leave behind Lone Wolf’s treasures.”


    The people of the other sects around them all spoke in upset tones. After working for so long, they did not want to return empty-handed.


    Furthermore, Xiao Chen was alone, and his cultivation was not high. If he were not a disciple of the Supreme Sky Sect, they would not even bother giving him face and letting him keep the proof ofpletion.


    Qiu Yi and Zhuo Ping exchanged nces, understanding each other’s intention.


    “Xiao Chen, on ount of you being a Supreme Sky Sect disciple, I will not make things difficult for you. All you have to do is leave behind Lone Wolf’s spatial ring and that secret manual. After that, you can leave.”


    Qiu Yi spoke frankly with assurance in his tone. This was already his bottom line. As he saw it, if Xiao Chen still did notply, then Xiao Chen could not me him for being ruthless.


    Xiao Chen smiled coldly to himself. This group of people was really hrious. They were fooled by Lone Wolf’s clone and did not obtain anything. Unexpectedly, they ran over toe and extort him. They even put on such airs and behaved as though they were being very merciful.


    Xiao Chen had killed Lone Wolf on his own. The rest had nothing to do with it. They were simply twisting logic to their convenience.


    He stepped forward expressionlessly. Then he looked at the sect disciples filled with hidden murderous intent. He said, “I killed Lone Wolf all by myself. If you want to obtain any of the spoils from Lone Wolf, you can forget about it.”


    Qiu Yi released his killing intent without holding back. Then he stared at Xiao Chen with an unreadable gaze and smiled coldly. “In other words, you don’t intend toply?”


    Zhuo Ping’s pretty face also turned sinister. She said, “What is the point of speaking so much nonsense with him? We should just cripple him and take everything he has.”


    This girl is really vicious. To think I thought she looked prim and proper, Xiao Chen thought to himself, feeling it was unfortunate.


    Seeing the crowd that was eager to charge over immediately, Xiao Chenughed loudly, “I really want to know what gives you all the courage to threaten me like this despite being almostpletely drained of Quintessence!”


    “Our Quintessence may be drained but so is yours. Do you really think we are just air? Do you think that you can defeat so many of us by yourself?!” One person held up a sharp saber and looked at Xiao Chen with disdain.


    “Congrattions, you answered correctly. In my eyes, you currently are not even worth as much as air.”


    Xiao Chen smiled coldly and immediately charged at the person who just spoke. As he ran, his aura flourished. His Vital Qi surged in his body, making the ground tremble with each step.


    He knocked down the two cultivators standing in front of that person with a loud ‘bang,’ breaking half their bones.


    This approach horrified that person. When he saw Xiao Chen suddenly charging over, he was somewhat at a loss. He had only started to swing his saber when Xiao Chen arrived before him.


    “Ka ca!”


    Xiao Chen used his palm as a saber. A strong wind blew as his palm saber struck that person’s wrist. The sound of bones breaking resounded, and the saber fell to the ground with a ‘ng.’


    Before that person could cry out, Xiao Chennded a palm strike on that person’s chest. Using no more than thirty percent of his seven hundred and fifty tons of force from his Vital Qi, he smashed that person’s bones and knocked him back a hundred meters.


    A strange look shed in Qiu Yi’s and Zhuo Ping’s eyes. They quickly reacted and circted the remnants of their Quintessence to charge at Xiao Chen.


    After the initial fluster, the others also roared ferociously and used the rest of their remaining Quintessence to send waves of energy at Xiao Chen.


    Xiao Chen crossed his arms in front of his chest, taking the stance of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon as he smiled coldly. The sword Qi and saber Qi flying at himnded on his arms, producing a continuous ngor. However, the surging shock waves that resulted did not manage to budge Xiao Chen by even a step.


    Amidst the shock waves, two exceptionally sharp sword Qi flew at Xiao Chen. These were the attacks of the peak inner sect disciples of the Full Moon Pavilion and the Thousand Mystery Sect, Qiu Yi and Zhuo Ping.


    “Dragon Hisses Tiger Roars!”


    Xiao Chen opened his arms and released the momentum he had stored up. He knocked back the two like the autumn wind blowing away fallen leaves.


    The foundation of a cultivator was Essence or Quintessence. If a cultivator ran out of Essence or Quintessence, they would be helpless.


    The elite disciples before Xiao Chen were currently in such a situation. When they met with Xiao Chen, who had a strong physical body, they were like so much grass underfoot.


    “Damn it!”


    Qiu Yi spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling iparably sullen. He had not expected to end up beaten into such a sorry state by a minor character of the Supreme Sky Sect.


    He stomped on the ground violently, not caring that he was straining his capacity for Quintessence. He sent out a flower of sword lights, trying to using technique to break Xiao Chen’s force, to use his exquisite Sword Technique to defeat him.


    Unfortunately, Qiu Yi was too naive. When the gap in strength was toorge, no matter how exquisite the Sword Technique was, it was just highly embellished and ineffectual; there was form without any power.


    Xiao Chen took a step forward and kicked out. A strong wind blew and shattered Qiu Yi’s Sword Technique. Then, he nted his foot on Qiu Yi’s face and knocked him back.


    Qiu Yi’s handsome face instantly distorted, now battered and exhausted.


    “Xiu!”


    Just at this moment, a strangely sharp killing Qi flew over from behind, moving extraordinarily fast.


    The Thousand Mystery Sect’s Zhuo Ping took advantage of the time Xiao Chen focused on Qiu Yi to sneak behind him. Then she found an ideal angle tounch a surprise attack.


    Zhuo Ping’s sword flickered with a cold light. The attack came from a strange angle and soon stabbed at Xiao Chen’s back. After that, a sinister expression appeared on her face.


    Xiao Chen smiled faintly. He had long noticed Zhuo Ping’s actions with his Spiritual Sense. To think she really thought that she could pull off a sneak attack on him!


    He turned around nimbly, narrowly dodging that sword. Then he clenched his right fist and punched Zhuo Ping’s pretty face without a care for her beauty.


    Zhuo Ping cried out in pain and held her nose as she fell to the ground. She rolled over several times before she came to a stop.


    The other elite disciples of the various sects could not help but take a few steps back when they saw their two leaders falling like that.
