<h4>Chapter 1362: Consider Yourself Lucky</h4>
When the King Grade warship exploded, space started shaking intensely.
The aura of the defending Xiao Chen suddenly turned sharp as he merged the Saber Domain and Taiji force field. Now, it was his turn to attack.
Xiao Chen''s figure swayed, avoiding Su Muqing''s attacks. Then, he arrived in front of one of the Ghost Race First Heaven Martial Emperors.
Using his palm as a saber, he executed Thousand Year Hegemony Establishment, a Profound Martial Technique.
As Xiao Chen chopped down with his palm, cities, rivers, and mountains materialized below Xiao Chen.
By the time his attack got close, a royal capital had appeared underfoot. He stood at the very top of the royal capital, gathering the Luck of a dynasty.
A dense crowd of human figures knelt in worship in the tens of thousands of cities and rivers and mountains spanning tens of thousands of kilometers, crying out, "Long live for ten thousand years!"
Xiao Chen''s aura formlessly soared up once more.
The Martial Emperor that Xiao Chen charged towards immediately felt like time and space changed; it was like he was not facing a person but a genuine dynasty. Before this aura, he even felt an urge to kneel and worship, which made him break out in a cold sweat.
After that Martial Emperor came to his senses, he quickly retreated. However, he was shocked to discover that the air around had turned as dense as water. Then, it folded over, distorting space slightly.
When the air became like water, Xiao Chen could use it as a saber.
Now, this Ghost Race Martial Emperor found every step he took in retreat extremely difficult. Furthermore, he had to deal with the invisible and traceless saber Qi.
After taking just ten steps back, this Martial Emperor sustained many more wounds. He was forced into a corner. Then, a ruthless and determined look shed in his eyes.
The Emperor Grade malicious spirit beside that Martial Emperor roared ferociously and surged up in response to Xiao Chen''s attack.
"Explode!" that Martial Emperor shouted, and the eyes of his Emperor Grade malicious spirit suddenly turned red before directly rushing at Xiao Chen.
"Bang!" The malicious spirit exploded. The explosion of the spirit sounded like a tsunami, instantly entering Xiao Chen''s mind.
It caused Xiao Chen''s eyes to appear a little bewildered, and his movements slowed.
"You made me lose an Emperor Grade malicious spirit. I''ll have your life for this!"
That Ghost Race Martial Emperor felt heartbroken. It was not easy to nurture an Emperor Grade malicious spirit, the thing he cherished the most. When he saw the bewildered look in Xiao Chen''s eyes, he roared furiously and charged at Xiao Chen.
However, this decision cost him his life. If he had used this opportunity to leave, he might have survived.
Life and death were separated by only a single thread.
Evil spirits suddenly swarmed into Xiao Chen''s boundless sea of consciousness, nearly upying the whole space there and turning into a tsunami. They tried to take over the entire sea of consciousness and swallow it up, to turn him into an empty husk, a living death without a soul.
At this instant, thousands of negative emotions struck Xiao Chen''s mind, giving him a headache and dazing him for a moment, putting him in danger.
However, just then, that vicious-looking azure-d Dharmic Incarnation in his sea of consciousness suddenly drew its saber. Then, a saber light swept through the entire sea of consciousness.
Like the autumn wind sweeping through fallen leaves, this one saber light killed thousands upon thousands of negative emotions as easily as breaking dead branches off the tree.
When the Ghost Race Martial Emperor arrived before Xiao Chen, he suddenly discovered a vicious gleam that shed in Xiao Chen''s dazed eyes. Then, before he could react, Xiao Chen''s paused attack suddenly chopped down.
"How can it be?! You are not of the Deity Race. How can you resist the spirit storm from an Emperor Grade malicious spirit detonation?!" The Ghost Race Martial Emperor was stunned, never having expected Xiao Chen to regain his senses so quickly.
Xiao Chen retorted coldly, "There is much that you do not know!"
Xiao Chen''s palm saber descended, gathering a saber light with the Luck of a dynasty in it that made his palm shine even more dazzlingly than the sun.
"Xiu!"
The resplendent saber light sent that Ghost Race Martial Emperor flying back while vomiting blood when it struck him. Then, Xiao Chen took a step forward, and electric light burst forth from underfoot. Finally, Xiao Chennded another punch using the hundred Dragon Force of strength he possessed and exploded this person''s body.
The physical bodies of the Ghost Race were much weaker than the Corpse Race''s in the first ce. Furthermore, this Martial Emperor was already severely injured. Naturally, he died without an intact corpse with another punch.
This Martial Emperor''s Heart of an Emperor shattered, and arge amount of Life Essence scattered, sparkling like a rain of light.
"Whoosh!"
Xiao Chen''s figure shed, moving like a fish in water. He narrowly dodged Su Muqing, who came to reinforce hispanion.
After that, like a dragon swishing its tail, Xiao Chen quickly drew away as fast as lightning.
Su Muqing''s reinforcement was toote. When he saw that Ghost Race Martial Emperor dying without a corpse, his expression turned extremely sullen.
As Su Muqing watched Xiao Chen''s figure flicker and the unpredictable saber lights push the other two Ghost Race Martial Emperors into a fluster, fear stirred in his heart.
Only now did Su Muqing discover that Xiao Chen had been holding back. They had not been dying him at all. Instead, it had been him dying the four of them.
This dy resulted in defeat in the battle below. Under the lead of Elder Ma, Mo Chen, and Yue Bingyun, the Supreme Sky Sect disciples and the Thunder and Lightning Pce disciples killed most of the Ghost Race cultivators to the point where the remainder could not put up a fight anymore.
"Leave. I''ll block him."
Su Muqing was extremely decisive. Having made his decision, he did not hesitate at all, directly charging over to block Xiao Chen.
Right now, Su Muqing had only one thought: not to let the losses continue to pile up. He admitted defeat this time.
"Elder Su, many thanks."
"Elder Su, take care."
The two First Heaven Ghost Race Martial Emperors released their bated breaths and quickly turned to flee, not daring to remain even an instant longer.
Xiao Chen was currently fighting happily. He was using the Taiji Saber Domain to take on two Ghost Race Martial Emperors and two Emperor Grade malicious spirits alone, forcing them into constant retreat.
When Xiao Chen heard Su Muqing''s words, he immediately felt disappointed. The other party did not get let anger overwhelm their rationality. This exceeded his expectations.
As long as Su Muqing still held hope in his heart and wanted to kill Xiao Chen, then after Xiao Chen killed the remaining two Ghost Race First Heaven Martial Emperors, Xiao Chen would not have any problem dealing with him.
Now, the other party came to his senses and blocked Xiao Chen, allowing the other Ghost Race Martial Emperors to flee. Xiao Chen could only sigh.
After all, right now, while Xiao Chen had his saber, he could not use it. He did not want to expose his Dharmic World trump card, either. So, he did not have the ability to take down Su Muqing.
Xiao Chen withdrew his aura, showing no intent to give chase. Then, he looked at Su Muqing and smiled. "You are rather smart. Even after suffering such losses, you are still able to hang on to yourst shreds of rationality."
Su Muqing gritted his teeth. This time, he had fallen miserably for Xiao Chen''s trick. When he heard Xiao Chen''s evaluation, he wished that he could eat Xiao Chen up alive.
"Don''t ever let me catch any opportunity. Given one, I will definitely pull out your soul and let you experience all sorts of torture."
After Su Muqing spoke, he prepared to turn and leave. He was a Third Heaven Martial Emperor. He thought that Xiao Chen could not stop him from leaving.
Xiao Chen said coldly, "Who permitted you to leave?"
"What''s wrong? You still want to try and keep me here?" Su Muqing turned around and said with a tone of mockery, "I more or less understand your strength. It is just at the level of a peak Minor Heavenly Martial Emperor. You were only relying on the advantage of that mysterious force field and Saber Domain.
"If you really push me to a corner, after I fight with all I have, you will be the one crying." Su Muqing showed a cold smile, thinking that he had Xiao Chen figured out and showing no fear of him.
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "You are not wrong, but you are only half right. If you want to leave, then receive one of my saber strikes first. If you can''t, then you can forget about leaving today."
After Xiao Chen spoke, the area within one kilometer of him suddenly turned pitch-ck. When light appeared again, it was a saber light that was even more dazzling than the sun. Using an unparalleled stance, Xiao Chen soared into the air and chopped down with his palm saber.
This was the first move of the wless Saber Technique, the Void Breaking Stance!
Su Muqing''s smile froze. Xiao Chen erupting with such a sudden attack caught him entirely off guard. The intense saber light was so piercing, it immediately blinded him temporarily; he could see only a blurry light.
Amid the blurry saber light was a figure bathed in golden light, looking like a celestial being.
A beam of light shot out of Su Muqing''s body hastily. Then, it gathered into an ancient stone tower, encasing him.
This was Su Muqing''s trump card for protecting himself. At the crucial moment, it could block the full-power strike of an ordinary Greater Heavenly Martial Emperor.
"Crack! Crack!"
When the saber lightnded, the stone tower suddenly cracked and shattered into countless fragments shooting in all directions. The attack opened pitch-ck cracks in space, which spread out densely, looking even moreplex than a spider web.
After Su Muqing''s protective trump card shattered, blood leaked out of his mouth. The close call frightened him witless, and he fled hurriedly.
At that instant, Su Muqing felt iparable regret over his earlier words. If he had another chance, he would absolutely not shield hispanions from Xiao Chen to let them escape anymore.
As Xiao Chen watched Su Muqing flee in a sorry state, he dispersed the saber light and the Taiji force field. Then, he said carefreely, "I hope that you can be this lucky again the next time."
This fellow actually had a defensive Emperor Grade Secret Treasure. Otherwise, that saber strike would have beaten him half-dead at least.
