Chapter 224 Unity Of Nature And Human

Startled sounds came from the cultivators underneath nonstop. The three men hovering high in the clouds were the ones that the Northern Underworlder called for earlier: Cang He, Qing Xu, Mo Changkong.

They had entered the Nascent Soul Realm years ago and had spent the past hundred years contemplating the nature of life and death. They had basically never stepped outside during that time, but they were household names in the Middle Continent.

"Don't tell me that they're now in the mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm. How did Zuoqiu family's promise of a single Nirvana Pill attract them here?"

The crowd was agitated, having never imagined that the commotion today would attract such impressive people. They were in for a good show.

Xiao Chen's heart dropped. There were truly many experts hiding within the Middle Continent. He addressed the men in the sky and said, "Seniors, I don't wish to make you my enemies! Please leave this place immediately!"

The old man holding a horsetail whisk sneered. "Presumptuous!" he yelled and swiped his horsetail whisk downward. Instantly, countless buildings collapsed as if they were hit by immense pressure and disintegrated into dust.

Seeing this, the twelve women cried in unison, "Be careful, Master!" They soared into the sky and formed a Barrier in an instant. But how could they block the attack of a mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm cultivator? The Barrier instantly shattered and the women fell to the ground with the force of a falling meteorite.

Dust flew everywhere. The onlooking cultivators outside had fled far away, but they were able to witness this scene clearly. Even the teamwork of the twelve women of the Hidden Fragrance Wafting Under the Moon was too weak to resist a single swipe of the old man's horsetail whisk. The strength of a mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm cultivator was terrifying as expected.

Xiao Chen helped the woman closest to him to get back on her feet. "How are you doing?"

The woman suffered only light injuries. She replied, "Master, forgive me for failing to protect you!"

Xiao Chen flicked his sleeve and glared at the men in the clouds. "Since you refused to listen to my advice, announce your name!"

The old man holding a horsetail whisk sneered. "Qing Xu!" While speaking, he and his two companions turned into three sword radiance and landed on the ground.

"You're really acting as if the older generation is six feet under. Did you youngsters think you can overturn the Violet Manor just because you're a bit capable?"

His overbearing force was evident in his voice, so much so that even the cultivators several thousand feet away could feel a great pressure on them. In recent years, those from the older generations rarely made an appearance in the wild. It had indeed afforded the young ones more courage.

Xiao Chen didn't seem scared even in the face of such a strong power. He said icily, "Older generation? You dare call yourself someone from the older generation when you're just 300 years old?"

Qing Xu narrowed his eyes. "Oh? So you're the rumored Xiao Chen? The younger generations will surpa.s.s us in time, indeed."

Cang He said emotionlessly, "Old Qing Xu, why bother wasting your breath on these youngsters? Just kill him and collect the Nirvana Pill."

Yi Tong chuckled. "These babies just won't stop mentioning about the younger generation. I wonder if they're not afraid of biting their tongue."

"Is that so?!" Qing Xu's eyes flashed with a cold glint. Suddenly, he swiped his horsetail whisk. Yi Tong neither dodged nor evaded it. He slashed the air with his finger and countless flying flowers unfolded, blocking the strength of the whisk.

Qing Xu narrowed his eyes and said solemnly, "Not bad. Even though you're young, you're already a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator."

Yi Tong raised his head and laughed heartily. "There are countless ways to achieve the same outcome in this world. I'm not a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, but I suppose I'm more than good enough to handle babies like you."

"Then you're free to try me!" Qing Xu bellowed, attacking as swift as lightning.

On the other side, Cang He whose hand was holding a wooden staff blurred out of view as he lunged at None-flower Dust. None-flower Dust smiled and gave his fan a slight wave. Immediately, two doppelgangers appeared and started fighting Cang He. Even though they were doppelgangers, they were no weaker than the real thing.

The cultivators watching in the distance yelped in surprise. "His doppelganger technique is as extraordinary as rumored!"

The final one, Mo Changkong who held an Immortal's Sword, was delighting in the fact that he had gotten what appeared to be the weakest link. He controlled his flying sword to make a straight stab at Xiao Chen.

"Watch out, Master!"

The twelve women blurred out of view and flew like the wind to block the attack. Unfortunately, the power of the sword sent them flying. Xiao Chen leaped into the sky and said icily, "Despite being seniors, you don't serve as role models and choose to collude with a bunch of wicked fellows. I'll end your generation today!" He thrust his halberd. Instantly, the hissing of devils reverberated through the sky and dark clouds came rolling.

The cultivators in the distance were all swept up in excitement. On the one hand were cultivators of the older generation coming out of seclusion after a hundred years. On the other hand were three up-and-coming youngsters who dared to meet them in a fight! The Violet Manor who had been steeping in silence for a hundred years would finally experience unrest today.

Many raised their head and looked east. They saw dark clouds taking over the horizon, and yet there was no sign of rain. Inexplicably, they began to feel fear.

Oddly, the dark clouds had enveloped the entire Zuoqiu estate the whole day. It didn't seem to be the work of the Spirit-annihilation Halberd in Xiao Chen's hand.

Mo Changkong couldn't help feeling stunned when he saw Xiao Chen taking the initiative to strike. This youngster obviously had the weakest cultivation of them all, so why did his aura seem to be the strongest? He narrowed his eyes when he spotted the Spirit-annihilation Halberd in Xiao Chen's hand. Knowing that such an incredible devilish weapon was around, he dared not lower his guard. He retreated while simultaneously aiming a palm attack at his opponent.

The palm strength instantly turned into a large golden palm-shaped seal. The seal was strong enough to shatter s.p.a.ce itself. When the palm slammed down, the earth quaked and everything nearby instantly turned into dust. The power residue even caused the collapse of several faraway tall buildings. Some unlucky cultivators who wanted a front seat to the battle were sent flying with blood bleeding from their seven apertures.

Dust flew everywhere. No sound could be heard from the ground. In the distance, the twelve women cried in unison, "Master!"

However, no reply came even after a long time had pa.s.sed. Even the faraway onlookers were watching in astonishment. "Strong as he is, he ultimately falls in the hands of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator... Alas..."

Mo Changkong sneered. "So what if you're strong? In the end, you're still a Core Forming Realm cultivator! In front of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, you'll only face one outcome: the extinguishment of your body and soul!"

"Hehe!"

Right then, sarcastic laughter came from the midst of smoke and dust in the sky. Mo Changkong's expression changed drastically. "What?!"

"The rule of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator swatting a Core Forming Realm cultivator to death with a single palm attack doesn't work for a protagonist like me! Go to h.e.l.l!"

Everyone watched as a light soared from the ground. With his Phoenix's Wings on his back, he rocketed into the sky and split the sea of clouds like he was being reborn in nirvana. He thrust his halberd, stabbing Mo Changkong with it.

"What?!" Mo Changkong had seen with his own eyes how his palm attack struck Xiao Chen to the ground. How could he be completely intact now? This was impossible! While he was still spellbound, he felt the halberd pierce his abdomen.

Fortunately for him, he had acquired profound cultivation over the years. He hastily retreated and flew away. He pointed to Xiao Chen and said, "Impossible! I saw you die with my own eyes! How could you..."

Toward the end of his sentence, he began to sound like he was talking to himself. In the end, he looked at Xiao Chen in fright and muttered, "Could it be... that you're..."

"Hehe! Keep that knowledge to yourself..."

The faraway cultivators had no idea what had just happened. Some of them had indeed seen Xiao Chen taking the hit, so no one understood why he appeared unscathed now.

Xiao Chen s.h.i.+fted his gaze to the twelve women on the ground. "This man is injured. Help me hold him off while I go and save my friend!" He then turned into a bolt of lightning and flew in the direction of the Zuoqiu estate.

When he had flown about 2 to 2.5 kilometers, he could faintly feel the fluctuation of an uncommon aura coming from underground. Before he could react, an overbearing force knocked into him. This force was both ferocious and fast. Even with True Qi for protection, the force still sent him flying while spitting out blood.

Back on the ground, the twelve women made a beeline for him and helped him to his feet. "Master, are you injured?"

Xiao Chen wiped the bloodstain on the corner of his mouth while shaking his head. "I'm fine." He looked up and eastward at his previous location. What was that formidable force earlier? That terrifying aura, too. That was far beyond the Nascent Soul Realm. Could it be the Nirvana Realm? Could there be such a terrifying existence in the Zuoqiu family...?

None-flower Dust and Yi Tong stopped fighting right then, both sensing that faint but dreadful aura in a split second. Qing Xu and the other two had also retreated far, far away. They heightened their senses and raised their guard.

Gradually, this aura became stronger until everyone could tell that it came from under the Zuoqiu estate. Under the pressure of such a terrifying aura, many cultivators turned pale. They were so frightened that they began to tremble.

"It's been a thousand years; did I finally find the one that I've been looking for...?"
