The elder in the mid-stage Nirvana Realm behind He Xin had already turned deathly pale. He had just witnessed Xiao Chen unleash his spear intent...
He clearly felt a bone-chilling life-or-death crisis. The spear intent was not only sharp but also carried an overwhelming aura, making him unable to even muster the thought of resistance.
He quickly moved closer to He Xin, his voice trembling slightly: "Young Master, this kid is too strong, I'm afraid... I'm no match for him!"
"What did you say?" He Xin turned his head sharply, unable to believe his ears. "You're a mid-stage Nirvana cultivator! How could you lose to him?"
The old man gave a bitter smile, staring at Xiao Chen with a solemn expression: "His spear intent and spiritual power far surpass those of others of the same level. If I were to face him, I wouldn't last more than ten moves!"
He Xin panicked completely, but now he had no way out.
If Xiao Chen leaves alive, not only will they fail to seize the Yunlan Mountains, but the He family will also lose face in Yong'an City!
He gritted his teeth and shouted at the old man, "No! You have to go! Even if it costs you your life, you have to stop him!"
"As long as we can stall until my father sends reinforcements, we'll win!"
The old man's face turned pale and then red, but he knew that He Xin was telling the truth.
If he doesn't go, the He family will blame him, and he won't survive.
He took a deep breath, a resolute glint in his eyes, and unleashed all the spiritual power he possessed at the mid-stage of Nirvana. He gripped the black iron longsword on his back with his right hand, and the blade instantly glowed with a dark light.
"Kid, take this!"
The old man gave a low shout, his feet slamming into the ground, and his body shot towards Xiao Chen at high speed like an arrow.
The long sword in her hand sliced through the air with a sharp, ear-piercing sound, and thrust towards Xiao Chen's chest.
It was his signature martial art, "Dragon Flash"!
This move perfectly combines speed and power, with the body and the blade becoming one, transforming into a streak of black light. It is an ultimate point-to-point breakthrough technique, and ordinary early-stage Nirvana cultivators simply do not have time to react!
But Xiao Chen, seeing the old man rushing towards him at high speed, remained standing still, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.
Just as the long sword was about to pierce his chest, he suddenly turned to the side, and his Dragon Spear, like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, stabbed fiercely towards the old man's abdomen!
"puff!"
The silver spear pierced through the old man's protective spiritual energy without any resistance and plunged deep into his abdomen.
The old man froze instantly, his eyes filled with disbelief.
His Dragon Strike was so easily countered?
Xiao Chen twisted his wrist, and the gun spun violently, unleashing a burst of violent spiritual energy from the tip.
"boom!"
The old man's body was instantly torn apart by this spiritual power, turning into a bloody mess of flesh that splattered on the ground, leaving not even a single intact bone behind.
An old man in the mid-stage of Nirvana fell in a single move!
The entire venue fell into complete silence; even the sound of the wind could be clearly heard.
The remaining guards of the He family were so frightened that they knelt down with a thud, repeatedly kowtowing and begging for mercy: "My lord, spare our lives! My lord, spare our lives! We will never dare to do it again!"
He Xin stood there, trembling violently, his face ashen, his eyes filled with despair.
Even an old man in the mid-stage of Nirvana was instantly killed. With his strength, what difference is there between him and an ant in front of Xiao Chen?
Xiao Chen sheathed the Dragon Spear, the bits of flesh on the tip sliding down the shaft. He looked at He Xin with icy eyes and walked towards him step by step: "Now, it's your turn."
Xiao Chen approached step by step, and He Xin, seeing the silver spear still dripping blood, felt his legs go weak with fear.
"Plop"
He fell to his knees with a thud, his knees slamming heavily onto the gravel, but he felt no pain, only desperately kowtowing and begging for mercy.
"I surrender! I surrender! I am the second young master of the He family, and my father is the head of the He family!"
"If you spare my life, the He family is willing to give you treasures, spiritual veins, anything! Please, spare my life!"
He was no longer arrogant as before; his face was covered in snot and tears, and his tone was full of desperate pleading, wanting only to save his own life.
Xiao Chen's eyes remained unwavering, the Dragon Spear in his hand still firmly pointed at He Xin's dantian, his voice icy: "When you were trying to kill me and seize the Lu Family Mountain Range, did you never think of sparing a life?"
Before He Xin could beg for mercy again, Xiao Chen lowered his wrist slightly and the silver spear shot straight into He Xin's dantian like an arrow!
"ah--!"
He Xin let out a piercing scream, a heart-wrenching pain shooting through his lower abdomen; he could clearly feel it.
The spiritual energy within his body dissipated like a flood, while a sharp spear intent surged into the shaft, instantly shattering all the meridians in his body and completely extinguishing his last vestige of life.
He Xin's screams stopped abruptly. His eyes were wide open, and a look of terror remained on his face. His body fell straight down, completely lifeless.
Xiao Chen sheathed the Dragon Spear, casually flicking away the bloodstains from the tip with clean, swift movements, without the slightest hesitation.
Lu Yuexi, standing to the side, stared at Xiao Chen's retreating figure, her eyes filled with shock.
Although she knew Xiao Chen was strong, she did not expect him to act so decisively, without the slightest hesitation in the face of He Xin's pleas for mercy.
But then she thought about it again. The He family was so aggressive. If Xiao Chen hadn't arrived in time, she and the Lu family guards would have been dead long ago. Xiao Chen's actions were only to be expected.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps approached, and Lu Duxian arrived with more than ten Lu family guards.
He saw the corpse and bloodstains on the ground from afar, his expression changed drastically, and he rushed towards Lu Yuexi: "Little sister! Are you alright? Are you hurt?"
Lu Yuexi turned around, smiled sweetly at Lu Duxian, and shook her head: "Brother, I'm fine. It's all thanks to Young Master Xiao Chen who arrived in time, otherwise I would have been in danger today."
Lu Duxian then noticed Xiao Chen, his gaze sweeping over the corpses of the He family scattered on the ground.
There were guards at the Creation Realm level, the mangled corpse of the mid-stage Nirvana Realm elder, and even He Xin's body lying not far away.
The entire mountain range looked as if it had been through a catastrophe, and was in complete disarray.
His pupils contracted sharply as he pointed at the corpse on the ground, his voice filled with disbelief and horror: "You...you did all of this?"
Xiao Chen nodded lightly, offering no further explanation.
Looking at Xiao Chen's calm expression, Lu Duxian recalled his previous disdain for Xiao Chen.
At that time, he thought Xiao Chen was an ordinary mortal and impatiently chased him away. But now he realized that the seemingly young man in front of him was actually a powerful expert who could easily kill a mid-stage Nirvana cultivator!
He was immediately filled with shame, his face turning bright red, even his ears burning. He quickly stepped forward.
He bowed respectfully to Xiao Chen, his tone both humble and apologetic: "Brother Xiao, I was blind to your greatness before and offended you greatly. I hope you will forgive me!"
"Thank you so much, Brother Xiao, for saving my sister today. You not only saved my sister but also helped the Lu family out of the crisis in the Yunlan Mountains. I am deeply grateful!"
