<h4>Chapter 1673 (Raw 1685): Reaching a Common Understanding</h4>


    Now, Ling Yu threw all caution to the wind. Originally, he was already very upset with Xiao Chen and found him an unpleasant sight.


    In the blink of an eye, Ling Yu had be Xiao Chen’s Martial Nephew, and he even needed to take care of him.


    Previously, Ling Yu could endure this. However, now, he felt yed twice, and there was the temptation of the golden Life Juice Source.


    Of course, Ling Yu could not really do anything to Xiao Chen. He would only beat Xiao Chen up and snatch away the Life Juice Source.


    When Ling Yu’s master found out about it and sought to settle ounts, Ling Yu could say that he had an exchange with his martial uncle.


    After all, Ling Yu did not n to do much to Xiao Chen, just give him a painful beating.


    Right after Ling Yu spoke, he chuckled andunched himself at Xiao Chen. A strong aura burst out from his body.


    After firmly suppressing Xiao Chen with his aura, he punched at Xiao Chen’s chest.


    Xiao Chen smiled faintly while seated on the chair. Three Cauldron Force gathered in his body as he threw a punch as well.


    “Boom!”


    The two fists collided, and a loud sound rang out. Ling Yu had not used even half his strength. Since he was caught off guard, the exchange knocked him into the air, causing him to reveal a shocked expression.


    Ling Yu stumbled a few steps before he found his footing. He could not tell that Xiao Chen’s Vital Qi was so strong.


    This was natural. Unless one was of Ye Zifeng’s level, no one would be able to tell that Xiao Chen’s physical body already equaled an early-stage Major Primal Core Venerate’s.


    With a casual punch, Xiao Chen could bring out three Cauldron Force. He did not need to summon his strength at all.


    “I really underestimated Martial Uncle. To think that you even cultivate Vital Qi. However, it is for naught.”


    Ling Yu did not care. After all, in that earlier punch, he had used only twenty percent of his strength and had not been serious.


    Xiao Chen smiled faintly and stood up suddenly. At this instant, he erupted with shocking speed.


    He executed the new Fish Dragon Art. His Veritable Essence Energy shield rubbed against the air and zed with a purple me that covered his fist.


    Xiao Chen turned into a ming phantom as he unhesitatingly threw a punch.


    Raising his speed to the peak limited the might of the punch.


    However, at such a speed and such close proximity, Ling Yu, who was still speaking, could not see it clearly.


    “Pa!”


    A ck ring immediately appeared around his eye, which swelled up. It hurt so much that Ling Yu cried out and retreated hastily.


    “Martial Uncle, you are really fast!”


    Ling Yu’s right eye hurt. His vision blurred as he sucked in a breath of cold air.


    However, the reply Ling Yu got was another punch from Xiao Chen, which earned him a shiner around his left eye.


    Xiao Chen secretly shook his head. Ling Yu wanted to punch him but never properly looked at him, making light of him and exposing openings all over his body.


    Ling Yu’sbat experience was pitifully limited. His stance, his posture, nothing could be considered perfect.


    Never mind. I’ll beat you up instead!


    “Martial Uncle, I’m really getting angry!”


    After getting struck twice in session, Ling Yu was thoroughly enraged, no longer having any qualms. His aura burst out from his entire body.


    Ling Yu circted his Veritable Essence Energy, fully revealing his early-stage Minor Primal Core cultivation.


    It had to be said that when Ling Yu was at full power, his aura was much stronger than that of many early-stage Major Primal Core Venerates that Xiao Chen had seen.


    Ling Yu’s Veritable Essence Energy was dense and pure, incredibly vast. With one look, one could tell that his foundation during the Veritable Personage Realm was extremely firm.


    He had also put in a lot of effort into his usual cultivation.


    However, Ling Yucked that little bit of patience and killing Qi. If he faced an experienced person like Elder Tang and did not activate his bloodline, he would be defeated in ten moves.


    Now that Ling Yu brought out his full power, he was filled with confidence this time. When he attacked, he no longer used an ordinary punch.


    Instead, he used his best Martial Technique, the Cloud Shattering Heavenly Star Punch.


    This punch was like a star falling and breaking through the clouds. In that instant, it parted the clouds for five thousand kilometers around.


    This resulted in boundless resplendent starlight descending without any obstruction—the state and meaning that this punch drew on.


    This Ling Yu was indeed a genius. At such a young age, he alreadypletelyprehended the principle of this Fist Technique.


    No wonder he could take twenty-odd consecutive victories in the Pirate Hall. His unparalleled sharpness was eye-catching.


    Unfortunately, Ling Yu ran into Xiao Chen, a person with even more talent than him and even more experience than his master. Xiao Chen’sbat experience was much more than that of the Elders in the sect, and his mental state was much better than that of the outstanding geniuses of the Purple me Sect.


    “Whoosh!”


    The Taiji diagram—which looked like an ink painting—in Xiao Chen’s dantian slowly spun around.


    Immediately, Xiao Chen’s surroundings flickered with light. The light of the Taiji diagram rippled like water, reflecting off the floor and walls as it moved slowly.


    Xiao Chen executed the wless saber Dao at this moment, looking iparably profound.


    His clothes fluttered as though arge saber struck the ground and shook the ce. His fine ck hair waved in the wind, bing like thousands upon thousands of blood-stained sabers being drawn at the same time.


    A thick and heavy murderous air joined the ngor soaring into the clouds and startling the surroundings.


    Xiao Chen used his palm as a saber and executed the wless Saber Technique’s Falling Moon Stance. A figure flitted across the sky, and the moon descended.


    “Boom!”


    A saber light apanied the falling moon, shing with Ling Yu’s berserk fist that was like a star tearing through the clouds. The entire courtyard shook.


    Xiao Chen’s saber strike shattered Ling Yu’s punch, which turned into a star. The starlight scattered, and Ling Yu went flying back again.


    Ling Yu revealed an incredulous expression, in utter disbelief. Despite a half-step Primal Core Realm cultivation, Xiao Chen’s strength actually surpassed his.


    “Little Martial Nephew, letting your mind wander during battle is very dangerous.” Xiao Chen smiled faintly, and the killing Qi his entire body exuded turned into a frosty chill at this moment.


    Right then and there, Ling Yu’s body froze stiff, and his heart sank. He felt an intense chill spread from his heart to his entire body.


    Before Ling Yu could dispel this feeling, Xiao Chennded a knifehand on him, sending him hurtling down.


    Ling Yu crashed heavily into the ground, intense pain immediately flooding his entire body.


    He could not helpining in his heart, This martial uncle really does not pull his punches.


    When Ling Yu tried to get up, he found that a saber scabbard had appeared at some time, pressed against his chest. That saber scabbard felt as heavy as a tall mountain, pinning him down.


    The saber scabbard blocked the flow of energy in Ling Yu’s body. If he tried to shove it off, it might instantly pierce through his chest.


    At this thought, Ling Yu could not help revealing some fear—especially when he saw Xiao Chen’s cold face, which gave him a chill for some reason.


    If Ling Yu really tried to force the scabbard off, this martial uncle would not hesitate to stab it into his chest.


    Ling Yu’splexion immediately paled.


    “Martial Uncle, you are not doing this for real, right?” Ling Yu asked as he forced out a smile.


    However, the murderous airing from Xiao Chen thickened, making it increasingly harder for Ling Yu to breathe. Xiao Chen said, “Killing others for their treasures? With your level, you want to kill others for their treasures? That is unlikely.”


    This Ling Yu was really stupid too. The Xiao Chen before him was an expert at killing others for treasure.


    When Xiao Chen was killing others for their treasures, Ling Yu was probably still suckling on his mother’s milk.


    Suddenly, Xiao Chen saw Ling Yu’s eyes screwed shut. Ling Yu’s hand clenched hard and trembled.


    Ling Yu’s tightly shut eyes seemed somewhat wet.


    Xiao Chen burst out inughter. This child was almost frightened into crying.


    This was a huge offense. How was Xiao Chen to exin this to Ye Zifeng?


    Xiao Chen moved the scabbard away and smiled. “Get up. I, your martial uncle, am not really going to kill you.”


    “You really won’t?”


    Ling Yu did not dare to open his eyes. He justy there without moving and said, “I don’t believe it. Even if you don’t kill me, you will definitely still beat me up.”


    He made up his mind not to get up before his safety was assured.


    This martial uncle was full of tricks. However, Ling Yu could not defeat him. This was simply too dangerous.


    Xiao Chen smiled helplessly. “Just get up. It is just Life Juice Source; I’ll give some to you.”


    “Really?”


    Sporting two ck eyes, looking like a panda, Ling Yu gingerly stood up and grinned.


    “Really.”


    Xiao Chen shook his head and walked over. Then, he sat down once more and said seriously, “However, you can’t y any more tricks, either. Tell me honestly how to activate the Great Deste Eon bloodline.”


    How could Ling Yu dare to y any more tricks? A wily light shed in his eyes as he said, “However, Martial Uncle, you have to tell me how to temper my killing Qi and also how to release it freely.”


    When Xiao Chen saw that wily light in those panda eyes, he could not restrain a smile. If Ling Yu did not try to take advantage, he would not be Ling Yu.


    However, this was fine, as well. At least, Ling Yu knew how to hold himself back. Even at the very end, he did not activate his own bloodline to fight with Xiao Chen.


    If Ling Yu had activated his bloodline, it would not have ended with just two ck eyes.


    Xiao Chen would also have unleashed his Great Dao Energy. At that time, it would be no holds barred.


    “Deal!”


    Naturally, given Xiao Chen’s magnanimity, he did not care about this and quickly agreed to the other party’s condition.


    Ling Yu chuckled, feeling that he still benefited despite getting beaten up.


    He forgot that he had initially intended to beat up the other party badly.
