Chapter 42: Chen Tai's Fury

  Chatterblood City is the first city after entering the Bloody Mountains.

  On the first day of opening in this Nanyuan Mingyu, as long as the monks who walked out of the ash prison area alive, most of them rushed to Chui Blood City.

  As the only gate of Blood Castle, it was crowded with a large number of monks at this moment.

  Li Hua chose to fight here, undoubtedly blocking everyone's path. However, at this moment, no one cares, as watching the excitement is a common human nature, and the monks are no exception, all standing far away, watching with their arms crossed.

  Li Hua drew his sword, and the majestic sword aura instantly attracted a series of astonished gazes. Everyone thought that under this one sword, those three Red Leaf Academy disciples who had clearly been frightened silly would definitely be slaughtered on the spot.

  Some people have even shown an unbearable expression.

  Buzz!

  At this moment, a sound like the roar of a dragon suddenly rose, and a black shadow suddenly jumped into the battlefield, with a long sword in hand, like the Milky Way, sweeping out.

  Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

  A string of dense, ear-piercing sounds shook the surroundings, and immediately everyone saw that Li Hua's sword had shattered into countless fragments that dispersed without a trace. And in front of Lu Shaocong and the others, a tall and majestic young man suddenly appeared.

  "My grass, I originally thought it was a must-kill sword, but it was all blocked, now there's a good show to watch!"

  "Huh? How did Chen Tai become this powerful? When did he get so strong?"

  "Awesome? Sweeping Star, you're looking for death! That Li Hua is the eldest son of the Li family, the number one family in Songyancheng. Three months ago, he broke through to the Purple Mansion realm and can come to the Nanman Ming domain, which means he must have swallowed something like the Fengyuan Dan. Even so, he's absolutely capable of slaughtering most pre-heavenly great perfection realm cultivators. What do you mean Sweeping Star isn't looking for death?"

  ……

  "What is he doing?"

  Listening to the surrounding gossip, Endo Tatsuya frowned at Chen Yao in the field, saying sarcastically: "Rushing forward foolishly to save people, is he thinking that with us protecting him, he can do whatever he wants?"

  Du Qingxi didn't say anything, and she was also very puzzled in her heart.

  "Chen Tang's cooking is delicious, and his heart is even better. It's great to have a friend like him for life." Song Lin, who had been in a daze, suddenly became spirited and bright-eyed, gazing at Chen Tang with genuine admiration.

  Upon hearing this, Du Qingxi and Duanmu Ze both fell into a daze, sinking into silence.

  Isn't he overestimating himself? But, if I ask myself sincerely, why did he want to do this?

  When everyone divides their interpersonal relationships based on interests and strengths, being able to have someone who unconditionally sacrifices for friends, isn't this a kind of blessing?

  Chen Xiao had no idea that his actions would have such a huge impact on Du Qingxi and Duanmu Ze.

  He is now waiting in full array, with no time to pay attention to his surroundings.

  Lu Shaocong and the other two had already withdrawn from the battlefield. For Chen Yao, who had saved their lives again, the three of them were deeply grateful from the bottom of their hearts. They knew that staying on the scene at this moment would only distract Chen Yao and hinder the battle.

  However, the three of them had already decided that if Chen Tang encountered any mishap, they would put themselves in harm's way and risk their lives to protect him, ensuring he got a chance to survive. Because Chen Tang was worth it!

  "I was thinking of ways to catch you and avenge Su's daughter, but now you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, what a wonderful surprise!"

  Li Hua, with his long hair draped over his shoulders, had a cold and indifferent expression. His gaze towards Chen Tai was like staring at an inanimate object. He raised the long sword in his hand, pointing it at Chen Tai from afar. "The name of this sword is Songwen, a law-ascended treasure. Do you dare to fight me?"

  A few words that perfectly expressed Li Hua's pride and arrogance, earning a round of applause from the surrounding crowd.

  "War!"

  Someone in the crowd shouted loudly.

  "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

  The passion in the hearts of the cultivators around was instantly ignited, and they all shouted loudly, their voices reaching the clouds, attracting the attention of distant cultivators, who eventually couldn't help but satisfy their curiosity and rushed over.

  "What's there to be afraid of?" Chen Ting took a deep breath and said coldly.

  As soon as the words fell, the surrounding sounds suddenly disappeared, leaving only the howling wind, a suffocating and tense atmosphere quietly spread around, swords drawn!

  The two parties' confrontational gazes were filled with gunpowder, making all the onlookers increasingly excited, their eyes fixed intently on the two people in the arena, not blinking, as if afraid of missing a single detail.

  Li Hua is the eldest son of the Li family, with exceptional talent and a strong foundation. At a young age, he has already reached the Purple Mansion realm. In the younger generation of Songyancheng, he is undoubtedly one of the leaders. As for Chen Tai, although everyone looks down on him, it's not important. What people are most looking forward to is Li Hua's performance.

  Zǐ Fǔ Jiè Jiè Ah! -> Purple Mansion Boundary Ah!

  Most of the people present were at the Xiantian stage, and they were curious about the combat methods of a Zifeng realm cultivator. They knew that this was an excellent opportunity to learn, one that they would not normally have.

  "Wait."

  Just as the battle was about to break out, a calm voice rang out on the city wall, causing the people present to feel dissatisfied. What's going on? Coming out to stir up trouble at this time is too lacking in quality! However, when they looked up, their dissatisfaction vanished instantly.

  All that could be seen was a black-veiled girl standing on the city wall, her delicate face shrouded in an enchanting and alluring glow under the dark red sky, who was none other than Su Jiao, the heavenly proud daughter of the Longyuan Su family.

  Su Jiao was next to Cang Ting, a young man known as the Little Sword Demon, standing on the city wall with his eyes narrowed and his face stern. Although he didn't say a word, the overbearing and fierce aura emanating from him made it impossible for anyone to ignore him.

  These two are core disciples of the six major families in Longyuan City, Nanjiang. In comparison, whether it's their status or their own cultivation level, neither is something Li Hua can match. At this time, stepping out to interrupt the battle, even if people wanted to be angry, they couldn't do anything about it.

  However, Su Jiao's next sentence reignited the passion in everyone's heart.

  "Li Hua's strength is not bad, but Chen Tai's strength is also good. Such a spectacular battle, if there are no some fancy moves to accompany it, wouldn't it be too boring?"

  Su Jiao's beautiful eyes sparkled with a smile, and her gaze swept across the crowd as she asked loudly: "Does everyone think my proposal is good or not?"

  She said Li Hua's strength was not bad, which is normal, but saying that Chen Tang's strength was also good made most people astonished. Just now, although Chen Tang successfully rescued Lu Shaocong and the others from Li Hua's hands, it was because he took advantage of Li Hua's unpreparedness to launch a sneak attack, but in a real fight, how could he be Li Hua's opponent?

  In a situation where the outcome is already more or less certain, adding some suspenseful elements seems like an unnecessary move and also beyond everyone's expectations.

  But when Su Jiao suddenly asked them, these guys who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic all shouted in unison: "Good!"

  What a joke? Duanmu Ze couldn't help but laugh, this wasn't a battle, it was more like a martial arts performance to win someone's heart. However, Du Qingxi, who was intently watching the situation, didn't find it funny at all.

  Su Jiao's words put Chen Yu in a difficult situation. If he backed down now, he would definitely be labeled as timid and cowardly, and the people present probably wouldn't agree either.

  What's most important is that almost everyone knows that Chen Yu had been engaged to Su Jiao since birth, and although the engagement has already been broken off, if Chen Yu were to back down in the face of this proposal from his former "fiancée", he would undoubtedly be telling everyone: Look at this coward, how can he be worthy of Miss Su? The breaking off of the engagement was also a helpless move by the Su family.

  "What is a rainbow?" Chen Ting stared at Su Jiao on the city wall, his eyes devoid of any emotional color, as indifferent as an ice-cold machine.

  "It's simple, if you lose, hand over the Dongming Order, abolish your cultivation and apologize to me, acknowledging that the engagement between us was torn apart, all of which is your fault." As soon as Chen Yao's voice fell, Su Jiao responded succinctly, as if she had already thought of this condition.

  Darkness Command!

  At the sound of this word, at least dozens of people in the crowd suddenly froze, looking towards Chen Yu in unison, with an unspeakable glint of greed rising in their eyes.

  What a ruthless move! I didn't expect Chen Yu to have one too... But this condition is also extremely vicious, she's clearly trying to humiliate Chen Yu in front of everyone!

  Du Qingxi furrowed her delicate eyebrows and looked at Chen Yu, but saw that his expression was still indifferent, unable to discern what he was thinking in his heart.

  Chen Yao indeed had a Dòng Míng Lìng, which he obtained from the hands of the Double-Headed Purple Rhinoceros Great Demon. He never understood its function, but at this moment his attention was not on that.

  His whole soul was struck by lightning when he heard Su Jiao's last condition.

  The scenes of the broken engagement flooded back to mind, Su Jiaxiu's disdainful gaze, Grandfather's painful and miserable face, the loud laughter of the people around, the fragments of the marriage certificate fluttering in the sky...

  She actually took this as a condition and was willing to make me admit in front of everyone that all of this was my fault?

  Su Jiao's words, each word clearly entered Chen Tai's ears, heavily pounding his heart, he only felt his brain bursting open with a loud noise, blood rushing up, and a suffocating air in his chest, this air accumulated more and more strongly, so strong that every pore on his body was about to burst.

  At this moment, looking at the charming girl standing on the city wall, Chen Tao had a strong impulse to blow her into powder!

  But his expression was exceptionally calm, so calm that there wasn't a single ripple or fluctuation, just like stagnant water. His eyes were dull and lifeless, without any visible emotions.

  If Chen Hao were here, he would definitely understand that his brother was furious! Thoroughly furious! Because no one knows what kind of intense anger and murderous intent is hidden behind his brother's empty eyes!

  The crowd who had been waiting silently for half a day finally heard Chen Xiao speak up.

  A low and husky voice stirred up a heart-pounding power: "I agree to your terms, but I also have conditions of my own."

  "You said, although we no longer have an engagement between us, as long as your conditions are not too excessive, I can agree to them." Su Jiao smiled lightly, her delicate face flushing with infinite charm, stirring the hearts of everyone present.

  "With the heavens as my witness, I swear to answer your three questions truthfully. If I deceive you, may heaven punish me!" Chen Xiao spoke slowly and calmly, his expression growing more serene, as if he were discussing a matter of no importance whatsoever.
