<h4>Chapter 1741 (Raw 1752): Dangerous City</h4>
To the southern city, this me Demon stampede was a big deal. However, after the northern city experts appeared, it became a minor matter.
Through this incident, Xiao Chen realized that the Dragon me City’s northern city and southern city were twopletely different worlds.
One side could adventure only in the periphery of the Dragon me Ancient Land, while the other side scouted the interior, even venturing into unexplored areas.
There was noparison between the two.
This was especially so for that masked desman. That person left a very deep impression on Xiao Chen. Even at the end, Xiao Chen could not figure out why that masked desman had given up on the blue ze Crystal.
The ze Crystal of a Medial Grade me Demon was rather valuable.
However, that blue-haired me Demon was fairly young. Although the blue ze Crystal that Xiao Chen obtained was valuable, it was not that precious.
If it had been an old me Demon that lived for more than a thousand years, the value would be utterly different.
Of course, the strength of a one-thousand-year-old me Demon would definitely be scary, noparison whatsoever.
“That white-d desman is pretty strong,” the few grave and stern cultivators from the northern city said as they watched Xiao Chen leave, after gathering together.
“Being able to block a move from the Ghost Saber says a lot of things.”
“It looks like he is destined to end up in the northern city. Let’s see if there are any opportunities to work together at that time.”
“Haha! Perhaps he might even end up an enemy,” the strongest man, who wore azure clothes, said indifferently, putting an end to this topic.
“Ghost Saber, leaving a person alive and giving up the ze Crystal is not really your style,” the azure-d man said indifferently on seeing the masked desman arrive.
The masked man known as the Ghost Saber smiled coldly. “There is ample time for thatter.”
After saying that, the Ghost Saber turned around and left without a backward nce, returning to the city alone.
The azure-d man smiled faintly and looked at Xiao Chen again. He said, “You all go back first. I’ll go test out that white-d desman.”
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
The azure-d man took a few flickering steps, looking like he vanished into thin air. Suddenly, he appeared in front of Xiao Chen without any warning.
Xiao Chen’s gaze sank as he showed a grave expression. “Yes?”
“I’m called Leng Feng. I do not have any malicious intent. It is just that the Saber Technique that you used seemed somewhat familiar. It is simr to my Divine Shield Army’s Thousand Army Sword Technique, yet, at the same time, not. It’s quite puzzling.”
The azure-d man smiled, disying hisck of malicious intent.
Someone from the Divine Shield Army?
This is really coincidental, but it is not too surprising.
Many of the sect disciples and Noble n scions who went out on experiential training would choose to join the two armies under the Ocean’s Star’s banner.
It was said that the Central Great Realm’s many Noble ns had established the Ocean’s Star in the first ce.
Xiao Chen did not wish to have any connection with this. He said indifferently, “You recognized wrong. That is the Army Breaking Saber Technique, not the Thousand Army Sword Technique. I also have not seen this Thousand Army Sword Technique before.”
Leng Feng smiled and said in understanding, “So, that is the case. If there is a chance, I hope that we can work together to explore the Dragon me Ancient Land. Fighting alone in this Dragon me Ancient Land is suicidal. Having an additional friend is not a bad thing.”
“I’m Xiao Chen. If there is an opportunity, I don’t mind working together.”
“I hope that we will not be enemies.” The azure-d man narrowed his eyes, his thoughts unreadable. Then, he vanished into thin air right before Xiao Chen’s eyes.
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. Space Dao?
That should not be wrong. However, it should be the result of some inherited bloodline or a n’s Cultivation Technique. Otherwise, given the other party’s cultivation, he should still be far from being able to appear out of nowhere.
The Dragon me Ancient Land is indeed rife with experts. I dide to the right ce. Xiao Chen smiled faintly and calmly entered the city.
Dragon me City did not have any City Lord or rules.
Strength was the passport in this ce. If you were strong, many things would automatically find their way to you.
Without strength, many things would be lost.
Simply speaking, there were no rules on who could or could not enter the southern city or the northern city.
However, if one entered the northern city without sufficient strength, one might be humiliated even before doing anything.
Upon seeing weakness, others woulde and bully one.
Even if one were invited to join others, they would just use one as cannon fodder.
Hence, everyone was very self-aware. They would remain in the region appropriate for their strength.
This was also very convenient for forming groups to explore. There was no need to seek trouble for oneself.
——
Xiao Chen stayed in the southern city for close to three months.
In the past three months, me Demon stampedes happened three times. Naturally, each time was rted to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen did not busy himself with entering the northern city. He needed to raise the rank of his Heavenly me quickly and achieve his first objective.
After adventures with three me Demon tribes, the Heavenly me finally reached Rank 3.
With Yin and Yang bnced, Xiao Chen sessfully executed the Taiji Yinyang me Diagram with the Primal Chaos Grade mes.
The Taiji Yinyang me Diagram materialized from Primal Chaos Grade mes was surprisingly effective, greatly boosting Xiao Chen’s strength.
A perfect trump card was born.
Even if Xiao Chen ran into a Star Venerate in the future, he would not need to be afraid since he would be strong enough to fight one.
Aside from that, he had also collected many white ze Crystals, which could replenish the drain on the Heavenly me.
The Heavenly me was just like a cultivator’s Veritable Essence Energy. When one unleashed it, one could not do so infinitely.
After draining the Heavenly me, one would have to refine it for some time to rebuild its energy.
However, the ze Crystal could function as replenishment, quickly recharging the Heavenly me. This was like cultivators using Medicinal Pills to replenish Veritable Essence Energy.
—
On this particr day, Xiao Chen was in closed-door cultivation in the courtyard.
He felt that his Minor Primal Core Realm bottleneck had already loosened a lot, and he could break through to Major Primal Core Realm at any time.
For the past three months, Xiao Chen had been undergoing experiential training. However, he did not ck on his cultivation.
He already sessfully lit up six stars on his 9-Star Primal Core. The day where he could light up all nine stars was just around the corner.
Suddenly, a murderous intent came from outside.
Xiao Chen, who was in closed-door cultivation, abruptly opened his eyes.
He saw one person and one sword thrusting over. At the touch of the sword light, the restrictions in his courtyard broke apart like dead branches. Theyers of walls turned into powder.
There was no way to stop the sword light’s stab.
It was like all obstructions were pointless in that swordsman’s eyes.
That swordsman’s eyes peered through the courtyard walls, the hall, and the many walls, focusing only on Xiao Chen, who was in closed-door cultivation.
By the time Xiao Chen opened his eyes, most of the courtyard was already destroyed, exposing him in the secret room.
The surroundings were filled with rubble.
As the sword light stabbed over, it was cold and merciless. This one human and sword were unparalleled.
Beiming Feng?
Xiao Chen did not have time to think. In the time it took for a spark to fly, he stood up and instantly executed the Sharp Spirit Finger.
The head supporting the heavens and the feet supporting the earth. His Veritable Essence Energy and Vital Qi merged, filling his entire body. With the body as a cauldron, he bridged the sky and the earth, merging the universe into one.
At the crucial moment, Xiao Chen mped down on that sword with two fingers.
In that instant, space froze. Xiao Chen’s entire body appeared like a statue; even his hair stopped moving.
The force in the sword was too strong. Xiao Chen could not repel it. He could only gently sweep it aside.
After Xiao Chen let go, he leaped backward andnded on the courtyard wall behind him.
Beiming Feng sheathed his sword and looked at Xiao Chen coldly. “This sword strike is a warning. Stop breaking the rules here. There are existences that both you and I cannot afford to offend in the Dragon me Ancient Land’s periphery. In the future, you are not allowed to go to the me Demon tribes to obtain Yang-attributed mes.”
Right after Beiming Feng spoke, he left. The ck cape fluttered about behind him as he disappeared from Xiao Chen’s sight.
Xiao Chen showed a confused expression. Every time a me Demon stampede happened, there was no other Star Venerate. Only Beiming Feng took action.
Xiao Chen had long found this strange. Now, he was certain that there was more to this.
The Dragon me City, an apparently masterlessnd, might have a strong hidden master.
Perhaps Beiming Feng was the master of the southern city and gained many benefits from it; he might even have connections with the me Demon tribes.
When Xiao Chen looked around, he saw that only half of the courtyard remained. The other half was like a sand table that was swept clear. He felt very fortunate. This Beiming Feng’s Sword Technique was scarily strong.
Even if Beiming Feng did not use the will of soul, Xiao Chen was not his match.
Since he forbids me from doing that, then so be it. After all, the Heavenly me already advanced to Rank 3, and I nned on heading over to the northern city.
However, I will return this sword strike sooner orter.
This sudden sword strike was merciless. If Xiao Chen had been a little slower, it might have pierced through him, and he would have died on the spot.
Xiao Chen was sure that if he failed to block that sword strike, Beiming Feng definitely would not have shown mercy and would not have minded killing him.
One truly could not let down one’s guard at any moment in Dragon me City.
Perhaps after closing one’s eyes, one would not open them anymore.
Xiao Chen sent a meaningful nce in the direction that Beiming Feng had taken. Then, he turned around and flew towards the northern city.
