Chapter 78

Jiang Chen was preparing to head to Xianyang City immediately. He could no longer stay in Yinyue City. He had not intended to linger in Yinyue City for long, and Xianyang City was located in the middle of Qizhou. It would take quite some time to get there from here.

"Big Yellow, how long will it take to get to Xianyang City from here?" Jiang Chen asked.

"At our previous speed, it would take at least ten days. It would be good if we could make it in time for the grand competition. If you're willing to carry us two while flying, it would be much faster," Big Yellow Dog chuckled, actually having the idea to make Jiang Chen carry them.

"Don't even think about it. If Little Demon King can make it to the grand competition, we can too," Jiang Chen sneered. This dog was definitely still holding a grudge over carrying him last time, looking for an opportunity to get back at him. He was quite devious.

"Not carrying me is your loss. There are countless people vying to carry me, a being as high-class as me," Big Yellow Dog said with extreme narcissism, his face showing what he considered a high-class expression.

The three of them moved quickly towards Xianyang City. They had not gone more than a dozen miles when they suddenly heard several whistles from behind.

Jiang Chen turned around and saw three powerful flying beasts flying rapidly from behind. Each beast had three experts at the Human Dan Realm standing on it, all exuding a murderous aura, and two of them were holding war soldiers in their hands.

Jiang Chen only needed one glance to feel the aura and knew these people were coming for him.

"Hmph! It seems Yin Zhongcheng is not willing to let it go. He didn't come himself but sent people, this way he doesn't offend the Little Demon King and can take revenge," Jiang Chen coldly snorted, a hint of a cold smile rising at the corner of his mouth.

"Stop! Where are you running to?"

A loud shout came from the beasts. In the next moment, the three beasts blocked Jiang Chen's path. Six Human Dan Realm experts leaped down from the beasts. The leader was around forty to fifty years old, his face full of killing intent, glaring at Jiang Chen. This person's cultivation had already reached the peak of the late-stage Human Dan Realm, much stronger than Yan Zhan Yun and Li Shanyue from Chicheng.

There were nine people in total. The other eight included four late-stage Human Dan Realm experts, all at the level of Yan Zhan Yun, and four mid-stage Human Dan Realm experts. This force, if placed in Chicheng, would be enough to sweep any family.

"Killed my son and think you can just run away? The City Lord gave the Little Demon King a face, but I, Liu Weiwang, did not agree."

The old man shouted angrily. Jiang Chen instantly understood that this Liu Weiwang was likely the head of the Liu Family in Yinyue City. It was normal for them not to let it go after he killed the Liu Family's young master in the Yinyue Tower.

Of course, even though the Liu Family was powerful, it was impossible for them to have so many experts and three flying beasts at the initial Human Dan Realm. Clearly, the City Lord's Mansion had sent some of them.

It was obvious that Jiang Chen's movements had been under the City Lord's Mansion's surveillance all along. Once the Little Demon King left, the City Lord's Mansion would use the Liu Family's power to deal with him.

The nine Human Dan Realm experts exuded a formidable aura, surrounding Jiang Chen and his two companions. Their aura locked down the surroundings, leaving Jiang Chen with no way to escape.

In fact, Jiang Chen had no intention of fleeing. Such a force was not enough to make them run.

"I advise you to leave now and clear the way. Don't lose your lives here. It's not easy to reach the Human Dan Realm," Jiang Chen said, genuinely for their own good.

"Ha ha, young man, you're talking big. You dared to blind our young master's eyes, today we'll turn you into minced meat," a late-stage Human Dan Realm expert laughed loudly. He was sent by the City Lord's Mansion. The group did not take Jiang Chen seriously at all. In their view, with the combined strength of nine people, as long as the opponent was not a Heaven Dan Realm expert, they would surely die.

This place was not far from Yinyue City, and although it was a plain, there were many passersby. Many people felt the killing intent and looked over. Such a large-scale confrontation was rarely seen in daily life.

"What's going on? Are they going to fight?"

"Isn't that the head of the Liu Family? And experts from the City Lord's Mansion. What did this young man do to offend the Liu Family and the City Lord's Mansion?"

"Isn't he doomed?"

Some people recognized Liu Weiwang and the experts from the City Lord's Mansion. Although they did not know what the young man had done to offend these two major powers, it was clear that the young man was in trouble today.

"Enough talk, attack together, crush this young man and that dog to ashes. Don't kill the girl, take her back to compensate Young Master Yin Ren."

Someone shouted, and the nine Human Dan Realm experts' auras intensified as they pounced on Jiang Chen and his companions.

"Ha ha..."

Facing nine Human Dan Realm experts, Big Yellow Dog was not afraid but excitedly barked. He leaped up like an arrow, transforming into a golden light and knocking down a mid-stage Human Dan Realm expert.

"Dead dog, die!"

The expert was furious, being knocked down by a dog was too embarrassing. He fought back fiercely but was horrified to find that he could not even mobilize his yuan force, as if a mountain was pressing down on him, making it extremely difficult to move.

"Damn, resistance is futile."

Big Yellow Dog opened his blood-red mouth and with a snap, bit off the expert's head, blood gushing out uncontrollably.

Killing one person in an instant, Big Yellow Dog leaped again, pouncing on another.

"Brother Jiang Chen, this Liu Weiwang is mine."

Yan Chenyu said, her body flickering to block Liu Weiwang.

"Hmph! A weak girl thinks she can block me?"

Liu Weiwang coldly snorted and suddenly attacked Yan Chenyu with a palm, his late-stage Human Dan Realm aura fully displayed.

Facing Liu Weiwang's powerful attack, Yan Chenyu's face remained calm. She gently pushed out a palm, a faint white mist emanating from her jade-like palm, instantly filling the air with a cold aura.

Slap!

Yan Chenyu and Liu Weiwang clashed with a palm. The originally formidable Liu Weiwang was shockingly pushed back. What was even more terrifying was that his entire arm was covered in frost, and in the next moment, his arm was encased in a layer of ice, a bone-chilling cold rushing into his body, making his entire body tremble.

"What?"

Liu Weiwang exclaimed, almost unable to believe it. However, he was still a late-stage Human Dan Realm expert and quickly mobilized his yuan force to shatter the ice on his arm, but his arm was already numb and had lost sensation.

Liu Weiwang looked at the beautiful girl in front of him with fear, his heart filled with shock.

"Cold Body."

Liu Weiwang's lips trembled; he could already sense the extraordinary nature of Yan Chenyu's body.

Ah!

At this moment, a shrill scream came from the side. The late-stage Human Dan Realm expert from the City Lord's Mansion let out a bone-chilling scream, his hands frantically scratching his face, green mist rising from his body.

The old man's scream lasted only three seconds before he fell to the ground, his body charred black, his face corroded by the poison.

"Poison, this kid can use poison."

Someone shouted, their voice filled with fear.

Ah...

Another scream echoed as Big Yellow Dog tore apart a mid-stage Human Dan Realm expert, the scene too gruesome to bear.

In the blink of an eye, four out of the nine people were dead. Big Yellow Dog had killed three mid-stage Human Dan Realm experts, Jiang Chen had killed one late-stage Human Dan Realm expert, and even the strongest Liu Weiwang had been seriously injured by Yan Chenyu.

The remaining five people were terrified, no longer as arrogant as before. They all looked at the two people and the dog with fear, wondering what kind of combination this was, how could they be so monstrous.

"My God, how could this happen?"

"That dog is too vicious, it killed three people in one go. Mid-stage Human Dan Realm experts are nothing in front of it."

"Too vicious, the young man can use poison, even a late-stage Human Dan Realm expert can be poisoned to death. Such a potent poison is extremely rare."

"The beautiful girl is even more terrifying, even Liu Weiwang suffered a major loss. Where did these geniuses come from? I've never heard of them. Could they be new geniuses from the four major sects?"

...

Many onlookers in the distance were shocked. What was originally a one-sided battle had turned into this in the blink of an eye, making it hard to accept. The way they looked at the two people and the dog had completely changed.

"You, you dare to kill people from the City Lord's Mansion, you are truly audacious."

Liu Weiwang shouted, saying something meaningless.

"Head of the Liu Family, what should we do?"

An old man's face was pale, asking in a low voice.

"It seems we need the City Lord to take action personally. Let's go."

Liu Weiwang coldly said, whistling. The flying beasts circling overhead immediately dove down.

"Do you think you can run?"

Jiang Chen never let go of any enemy who wanted to kill him. He pointed his fingers like swords, both hands moving, three beams of light piercing the air and accurately hitting the three beasts.

Aa...

The three beasts let out shrill screams and fell from the sky like broken kites, blood splattering everywhere. After landing, they only twitched twice before becoming still. Under Jiang Chen's Six Yang Profound Finger, initial-stage Human Dan Realm beasts were no match.

"What?"

Someone exclaimed in shock.

"Xiaoyu, attack."

Jiang Chen coldly shouted.

"Yes."

Yan Chenyu said, her jade-like palms moving, releasing waves of ice energy, pushing directly towards Liu Weiwang.

"I don't believe I can't deal with a Cold Body."

Liu Weiwang's aura intensified, a low-grade war soldier appearing in his hand, thrusting fiercely at Yan Chenyu.

If Yan Chenyu was still at the initial-stage Human Dan Realm in Chicheng, she might not have been a match for Liu Weiwang, but now, she was at the mid-stage Human Dan Realm, and her body had fused with a ten-thousand-year-old cold crystal, capable of killing the monster in the pond with one strike. How much more so for Liu Weiwang.

Swish!

Yan Chenyu released a wave of ice, instantly freezing Liu Weiwang into an ice sculpture. This freezing technique not only restricted his movements but also cut off his life force.
