The moment the sound of something cutting through the air rang out, everyone entangled in the fight turned around.
A white figure appeared, riding the wind. He was tall and his aura was steady. It was Xiao Chen who had just arrived.
The moment Lu Yuexi recognized the person, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by worry.
Ignoring the pain in his chest, he quickly stepped forward and asked anxiously, "How are your injuries? How did you end up here?"
What she was most worried about at the moment was not her own situation, but whether Xiao Chen's injuries had healed, since Xiao Chen had been dragged into this conflict because of her.
Xiao Chen smiled gently at her, his tone relaxed: "Thank you for your concern, Miss Lu. My injuries have healed. I heard you were having trouble here, so I came to check on you."
As he spoke, his gaze swept quickly over the He family members, and he instantly made a judgment.
The expressionless old man behind He Xin, surrounded by the aura of a mid-stage Nirvana Realm cultivator, was the strongest member of the He family on this trip.
He Xin himself had an unstable aura, at most only at the half-step Nirvana level; the remaining guards were mostly at the Creation Realm, with the strongest being only at the late Creation Realm.
Such strength is simply not enough for him, who has now reached the peak of the early stage of Nirvana.
He Xin frowned as he looked at Xiao Chen, who had suddenly appeared. He had been in Yong'an City for so long and had never seen such a person before, let alone anyone from the Lu family.
He stepped forward, his tone wary and arrogant: "When did the Lu family acquire someone like you? Who are you? How dare you interfere in the affairs of the He family!"
Xiao Chen didn't answer, but only glanced at him indifferently. The disdain in his eyes instantly ignited He Xin's anger.
Seeing this, Lu Yuexi quickly tugged at Xiao Chen's sleeve, her voice anxious: "You have no relation to our Lu family, this matter has nothing to do with you, you should leave quickly! The He family is too powerful, you are no match for them!"
She didn't know Xiao Chen's true strength and only thought of him as an ordinary cultivator. She didn't want him to die for her sake.
Upon hearing this, He Xin sneered, his eyes fixed on Xiao Chen with a sinister glint: "Leave? Now that you're here, don't even think about leaving! Anyone who dares to ruin the He family's affairs must be prepared to die!"
He turned to a guard behind him, who was at the late stage of the Creation Realm, and ordered, "Guard Li, seize him. I want to see who gave him such audacity!"
"Yes, young master!" the guard replied, instantly drawing his long sword from his waist. His late-stage Creation Realm sword intent erupted, the blade gleaming with a chilling light, as he charged towards Xiao Chen!
His footsteps left shallow footprints on the ground, and the wind from his blade, carrying a frenzied aura, hurtled straight at Xiao Chen's face. He clearly wanted to finish the fight quickly and show off his skills in front of the young master.
Upon seeing this, Lu Yuexi's expression changed drastically. She tried to step forward to stop them, but was entangled by the He family guards beside her and could not move at all. She could only anxiously shout, "Be careful!"
But Xiao Chen stood still, not even lifting his eyelids.
Just as the guard's longsword was about to strike him, he flicked his wrist, and a silver-white spear suddenly appeared in his hand.
The gun barrel was pure white, engraved with fine dragon patterns; it was the "Dragon Spear" that Lin Zhou had given him this time.
"Buzz—"
The spear hummed, and Xiao Chen's arm trembled slightly. The spear tip instantly transformed into a silver dragon, tearing through the air with a sharp sound, and stabbed towards the guard's chest!
The movements were so fast that even afterimages were difficult to catch.
The guard's pupils constricted sharply; he tried to sheathe his sword to block, but found it was too late.
The silver spear had pierced through his protective spiritual energy, cutting into his chest as easily as slicing tofu!
"puff!"
Blood gushed out, the guard's body froze on the spot, his eyes filled with disbelief, and the long sword in his hand fell to the ground with a "clang".
He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but only spat out a mouthful of blood. His body slowly collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
In just one round, the guard, who was at the late stage of the Creation Realm, was instantly killed by Xiao Chen with a single spear thrust!
The entire venue fell into a deathly silence!
Lu Yuexi's eyes widened, her face full of shock. She never expected that the "ordinary cultivator" she had saved would have such strong power!
He Xin's smile froze instantly, his eyes shifting from arrogance to disbelief. He looked at the corpse on the ground, then at the Dragon Spear in Xiao Chen's hand, his throat involuntarily bobbing.
A guard at the late stage of the Creation Realm couldn't even withstand a single move from this opponent? Just who is this kid?!
The elder in the mid-stage Nirvana Realm behind He Xin finally abandoned his previous disdain, staring intently at Xiao Chen, his aura slowly rising.
He could sense that although Xiao Chen's aura was only at the early stage of Nirvana, it was much stronger than that of an ordinary early stage Nirvana cultivator, and he was definitely not someone to be trifled with!
He Xin stared at the corpses of the guards on the ground, his face ashen, unable to swallow his anger.
An unknown brat dared to kill his people in front of the He family, and was even so arrogant!
He gritted his teeth and roared at the dozen or so guards behind him, "What are you all standing there for! Attack him! Tear him to pieces!"
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen guards instantly unleashed their spiritual power. Some wielded knives, others held swords, their auras of the Creation Realm intertwined, surging towards Xiao Chen like a tidal wave.
They knew they couldn't defeat Xiao Chen alone, so they could only rely on their numbers and try to wear him down with sheer numbers.
Seeing this scene, Lu Yuexi subconsciously gripped her longsword, her eyes filled with worry, but she knew she couldn't help and could only watch the battle nervously from the sidelines.
Despite being surrounded by dozens of people, Xiao Chen remained completely calm.
He slightly parted his feet, firmly planted his stance, and pointed the tip of his Dragon Spear forward, instantly unleashing a sharp spear intent from his body.
The spear's intent, carrying an indomitable sharpness, spread out as if it were a tangible force, causing the guards at the forefront to subconsciously pause, a hint of fear appearing in their eyes.
"Sweep through the enemy ranks!"
Xiao Chen let out a low shout, and suddenly exerted force in his arm, pouring all his spiritual power into the gun.
The Dragon Spear instantly shone with a dazzling silver light. With a flick of his wrist, the spear swept out like a long whip, the movement wide and sweeping, without the slightest hesitation.
"Pfft! Pfft!"
A flash of silver light, followed by screams of agony. The guards at the forefront didn't even touch Xiao Chen's clothes before being struck by the gun.
Some were cut in half at the waist, others had their throats pierced by spear tips, blood gushing out like fountains, and the corpses fell to the ground one after another.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Chen had killed more than half of the dozen or so guards, and the remaining guards were terrified.
They dared not step forward and retreated hastily, their eyes filled with terror, even the weapons in their hands trembling.
"Useless! All of you are useless!"
Seeing this scene, He Xin was so angry that he trembled all over, but he was also frightened by Xiao Chen's strength. This was no ordinary gun cultivator, but a demon god!
