Free Web NovelChapter 153: Chapter 123: Single-handedly Shaking the Heroes
Chen Xuan moved with incredible speed, following the trail of blood on the ground as he raced forward.
Two lines of text appeared before his eyes.
[You have severely injured Zhao Qingyue of the Zhao family siblings. Her mental collapse has been detected. Extreme retribution detected. Retribution points +15,000!]
[You have severely injured Zhao Qingchen of the Zhao family siblings. His mental collapse has been detected. Extreme retribution detected. Retribution points +15,000!]
Chen Xuan soon burst from the woods with a SWISH, appearing not far from Zhao Qingyue and Zhao Qingchen. His tall, imposing figure carried traces of a golden aura, his cold, indifferent gaze sweeping forward.
The two siblings, currently coughing up blood, were instantly terrified beyond belief.
Their bodies trembled. Ignoring their current disheveled state, their clothes in tatters, they hastily scrambled backward.
’He’s here!’
’He caught up to us so fast!’
’He’s terrifying!’
’He’s too powerful!’
’We’re not even in the same league as him!’
’We originally thought he was just pretending to be weak when he defeated the Little Sword Immortal and the Asura Hand...’
’But now we realize—that wasn’t an act at all!’
’He’s a real tiger!’
"Y-you... don’t come any closer!"
Zhao Qingyue’s voice was panicked as she kept backing away, looking as if she was about to cry from fear.
"Don’t come any closer?"
Chen Xuan’s tone was placid, his black robes billowing as he spoke. "Didn’t you say you were going to crush me? I’m here now. You can crush me to your heart’s content."
"No, it’s a misunderstanding! It was all a misunderstanding before. We... we just wanted to have a friendly spar."
On the ground, his face contorted in pain, Zhao Qingchen chimed in, "As they say, you can’t get to know someone without a fight! We’re all experts on the Human List, so it’s normal to spar with each other, right?"
PFFT!
With a casual wave of his hand, Chen Xuan sent a blast of golden True Qi shooting out like a sharp sword. It pierced straight through Zhao Qingchen’s body, lifting him from the ground and making him shriek in agony as blood poured from the wound.
AHH!
"Lies!"
Chen Xuan’s voice was cold. "That’s not what you said before. Your sister said she had a ’complete process’ for dealing with me. So, tell me. What is this process?"
"There isn’t... there isn’t one..."
Zhao Qingchen screamed in pain.
PFFT!
Another blast of golden True Qi shot out, piercing Zhao Qingchen’s body once more and making his screams even more wretched.
"Speak. If you don’t, I’ll torture you to death, little by little. And your sister—she won’t get away either!"
Chen Xuan said indifferently, his gaze shifting to Zhao Qingyue.
’He’d been looking for ways to earn retribution points anyway.’
’Now that they had delivered themselves to his doorstep, he had no reason to refuse the gift.’
Zhao Qingyue was utterly terrified, trembling uncontrollably at the sight.
Without a second thought, she turned and fled, fast as the wind, abandoning even her own brother.
All she wanted was to escape this place, no matter the cost.
But Chen Xuan was even faster, appearing before her in an instant and landing a vicious slap.
SLAP!
Even though Zhao Qingyue was a master of the True Qi Third Layer, she was completely unable to react.
She let out a piercing scream from the single blow, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Her mind went blank as her delicate, fair body flipped over several times before smashing hard into the ground, once again landing in front of her brother.
"*Sob*... Why? Why are you treating us like this?"
Tears streamed down Zhao Qingyue’s face as she cried in anguish.
"Why?"
Chen Xuan’s voice was calm. "Lady, you were the one who wanted to deal with me. Now that you’ve failed, you’re playing the victim? So I’m just supposed to let you attack me? Is that it?"
"*Sob sob*... But setting the facts aside, aren’t you even a little bit at fault?"
Zhao Qingyue cried.
"Setting the facts aside?"
Chen Xuan’s tone was frigid. He couldn’t be bothered to waste any more words on this kind of person. He strode over, grabbed a handful of her hair, and began slapping her face over and over, as if the blows cost him nothing.
SLAP! SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!
AHHHH...
A continuous stream of wretched screams erupted from Zhao Qingyue.
Blood mixed with tears sprayed everywhere. She was a miserable sight to behold.
Soon, her cheeks were beaten until they were swollen and blood was splattering everywhere. She was terrified beyond belief.
"Speak. What’s this ’complete process’ you have?"
Chen Xuan stopped his frantic slapping and asked in a cold voice.
"I don’t... I really don’t have one..."
Zhao Qingyue cried in terror.
’If I don’t say it, I might still live.’
’But if I tell him, he’ll almost certainly kill us for good!’ freewebnoveℓ.com
’After all, we’re inside a secret realm.’
"Is that so?"
Chen Xuan’s eyes were indifferent. "If you won’t talk, then forget it. I don’t have time to waste on you two. I’ll just find an area with an open view and hang you there. It’ll be a good way for others to see what the so-called experts of the Human List look like right now."
"No, please don’t..."
Zhao Qingyue quickly blurted out in terror.
This was something she could absolutely not accept, no matter what.
She had laughed for a long time when the Little Sword Immortal and Jiang Hantian were stripped naked and hung from the city walls by Chen Xuan.
For him to do the same to them now was a fate more terrifying than death.
’Her spirit broke. She was filled with boundless regret.’
’Why did I have to provoke Chen Xuan?’
’If I hadn’t provoked Chen Xuan, none of this would be happening right now...’
Chen Xuan paid her no mind, walking directly toward Zhao Qingchen to grab him as well.
But unexpectedly, just as he reached for Zhao Qingchen...
The previously half-dead Zhao Qingchen’s eyes suddenly turned crimson. He erupted with a low, muffled roar as his vital energy and True Qi burst forth from his body like a small volcano.
"Die!"
His face twisted as he violently slammed both palms toward Chen Xuan.
He had endured the humiliation and begged for mercy just to stall for time, to give himself the chance to marshal the True Qi in his body and use his Secret Technique.
Fortunately, the heavens had taken pity, and he had actually managed to stall for enough time!
