Chapter 372 One Kill with One Punch

He was in Jindan Realm!

Beixiao Liang stared at Chen Xianghan, thinking silently. Could it be… Chen Xianghan’s gaze that he sensed before he entered the Secret Realm?

Although it was true that he, as rumored, was able to retreat from a battle with someone in Jindan Realm. But… that referred to an ordinary pract.i.tioner in Jindan Realm. And like him, Chen Xianghan was a holy son of Zihan Sect with extraordinary potential. A casual pract.i.tioner in Jindan Realm was incomparable to him.

“Junior Fellow Apprentice, find a chance to leave with this fellow pract.i.tioner. If you cannot, just crush the jade token and get yourself out. I have my own way to deal with him.”

Qi Chen should be happy to be addressed as his junior fellow apprentice, but he only felt an intense worry.

He could tell that Beixiao Liang was just trying to comfort them while was not really confident.

Qi Chen sighed inwardly and turned his gaze to Su Li, glancing at her cold and expressionless face. Surprisingly, he felt a hint of confidence in his heart.

Beixiao Liang might not know how powerful this woman was, but he had seen it with his own eyes. Although someone in Zhuji Realm was no match to those in Jindan Realm, he still had a bit of hope in his heart.

Seeing that neither of them moved, Beixiao Liang got slightly annoyed and was about to transmit another sound, but Chen Xianghan’s laughter sounded again.

“Hahaha, Beixiao Liang, you have been stuck in trouble, but you’re still thinking about the safety of others?”

Chen Xianghan’s laugh was full of animosity, “I’ve spent so much to come in. You actually know that… I come here not only for meeting you, right?”

Hearing the words, Beixiao Liang changed his face at once, and Qi Chen also understood the meaning. Without saying anything, he took out the token and crushed it. However, no vortex appeared after waiting for a long time.

Qi Chen and Beixiao Liang’s faces got immediately gloomy.

Chen Xianghan laughed louder when he saw this. He pointed his finger, and his flying sword flew out of the sheath. The killing intention was unignorable, “After today, there will be no Beixiao Liang in the cultivation circle, and I, Chen Xianghan… am not a stepping-stone for anyone!!”

Phew!

The flying sword flickered illusively and was extremely fast. It split into twenty-five pieces, stabbing at various vital points on Beixiao Liang. Beixiao Liang coped with the attack with all his might and had no time to take care of Qi Chen and Su Li.

Yue Lin and the handsome young man stayed away and kept a distance to watch the battle calmly. Beixiao Liang’s defeat was only a matter of time, and it would be a breeze to get rid of Qi Chen and Su Li at that time, so there was no need to rush into action now.

Qi Chen also retreated to the side. He looked around and found the terrain here was too flat. He wondered that they might have some chance if they could enter the dense forest and juggle with them.

“A nice sword you have!”

Su Li’s slightly indifferent voice suddenly entered Qi Chen’s ears, which scared the h.e.l.l out of him. He looked at the skinny figure out of nowhere beside him in shock.

When did she get here? He didn’t notice anything.

Su Li looked at Beixiao Liang who was barraged by Chen Xianghan, and spoke out again, “Here is covered with a concealing tactical matrix, supplemented by a trapping tactical matrix, so it’s not realistic to go to the dense forest to juggle with them.”

“What?”

Qi Chen was shocked to hear the words and swept to the dense forest in disbelief. He hit a barrier with a “bang” in the half way. He tried to attack with all his strength but couldn’t change anything.

“Which grade is this tactical matrix in?!”

Qi Chen was horrified, for he had never seen one like this before, even the tactical matrix guarding his ancient sword was not as advanced as the one Chen Xianghan had deployed.

Thinking of this, Qi Chen trembled and quickly returned to Su Li, asking slightly expectantly, “Since you can recognize the tactical matrix, do you have a way to break it?”

Su Li tilted her head, her gaze falling on the ancient sword on Qi Chen’s back.

The intention was obvious to Qi Chen.

She was taking advantage of his perilous state!

Qi Chen’s face became gloomier, for he did not expect this woman was so ruthless. She didn’t provide any help at this time but fished in troubled waters!

Thinking of Beixiao Liang’s sound transmission before, Qi Chen snorted coldly, and without saying a word, he took down the cloth bag from his back and threw it to Su Li.

Su Li received the ancient sword and quickly unwrapped it. Seeing the familiar and unique patterns on the ancient sword, she could not help but feel shocked with a cold light flas.h.i.+ng through her eyes.

It was Hanfeng Sword!

Back then, in the Reincarnation Mirror, Senior Fellow Apprentice Tantai Yu had given her the sword as a gift. No one expected that after a thousand years, instead of being destroyed along with the Reincarnation Mirror, the sword had been pa.s.sed down in Qingshui Circle.

“Could it be possible that someone alive back then brought this sword out of the Reincarnation Mirror?”

If he was still alive, there must be an extremely close connection with her.

Su Li pondered for a moment, threw the ancient sword back to Qi Chen, and said, “This sword has a special history. You’d better recast it before using it to avoid causing any trouble.”

Qi Chen was astonished and stunned for a long while. Then he said, “You… don’t want it?”

Su Li tickled her lips slightly and didn’t answer the question. She calmly said, “If you can inspire the power of this sword, even Chen Xianghan will be no match for you.”

Qi Chen’s face was gloomy. If he could use this sword, he would have gone to help. He would not stand there anxiously but unable to do anything helpful.

“Since you can tell the origin of this sword, you must be able to use it!”

He gritted his teeth and put Hanfeng Sword into Su Li’s hand again, “At any rate, my senior fellow apprentice has helped you just now. If you can help him out of danger, I… I’ll agree with whatever you may ask!”

Su Li raised her eyebrows and threw the sword back. Qi Chen felt the weight on his back again, and the sword returned to the cloth bag.

Then, he saw an extremely faint smile on the face of the woman in front of him, who was always cold.

“Remember what you’ve said.”

As she finished the words, Su Li had already disappeared. Qi Chen looked anxious. If she didn’t use the ancient sword, how could she be a match for Chen Xianghan with her bare hands?

But shortly after, the anxiety on Qi Chen’s face was entirely replaced by shock.

Su Li suddenly blocked in front of the pale faced Beixiao Liang and blasted out a straight punch. Even he didn’t sense the power of this punch. Chen Xianghan, who was still several meters away from her, was turned into a blood mist in the air after a boom!

“Is he dead… dead just like this?”

Qi Chen inhaled and was so surprised that he almost bit his tongue. Beixiao Liang was also frozen, looking at Su Li’s back in shock. He even began to wonder if he was dreaming.

How much power did she take to blast Chen Xianghan into a b.l.o.o.d.y mist with a single punch?! If this woman turned against him, she just needed another punch.

“Senior Fellow Apprentice Chen!!”

Looking at the blood mist floating in the air, the handsome young man did not believe his eyes with his heart trembling violently.

How could anyone possibly kill Senior Fellow Apprentice Chen in the Secret Realm of Shattered Spirits?!

It must be an illusion!!

“Senior Fellow Apprentice, she’s… looking over here!”

As Yue Lin’s frightened voice sounded in his ears, the handsome young man shuddered and took out the jade token immediately to crush it. But he suddenly realized something.

“This area has been blocked by Senior Fellow Apprentice Chen, so there’s no way to get out…”

The handsome young man’s heart instantly sank. There was no expression on Su Li’s face, and she punched twice. “Boom, boom!” Two more twists of b.l.o.o.d.y mist spread in the air.

“…”

“This is no killing, but chopping up melons and vegetables!”

Qi Chen was profoundly scared while he laughed bitterly in his heart, for he had thought that Su Li coveted his ancient sword before… It turned out that this woman could crush someone in Jindan Realm simply by her strength, and she didn’t need any external objects. Even if in a large sect like Yuxu Sect, she would be equivalent to an elder of Neimen Branch!

Su Li naturally didn’t know what Qi Chen was thinking. She stretched out her hand to take the automatically falling universal rings of Chen Xianghan as well as the other two. At the same time, Beixiao Liang came up in a slightly formal manner, saluting respectfully,

“Senior, thank you for saving my life!”

“Don’t call me that, for I’m younger than you.”

Su Li was outspoken and merciless, which embarra.s.sed Beixiao Liang. But he didn’t mind it at all, for she was much more talented than him, and it was reasonable for her to have an odd temperament.

At this time, Qi Chen came over and laughed embarra.s.sedly, saying, “I’m really sorry to misunderstand you before.”

“Never Mind. Don’t forget your promise.”

After inspecting the items in the storage rings, Su Li was slightly satisfied with them and responded casually.

Qi Chen couldn’t help but be apprehensive. Since she was so poweful to do anything, why did she still need his help?

Su Li didn’t continue, so he didn’t dare to ask. Beixiao Liang, who had known her odd temperament, would not interrupt. So it became quiet.

Su Li didn’t care about the odd atmosphere. She closed her eyes and began to sense the surroundings carefully. Then she stomped her foot, and a wondrous fluctuation spread out around her.

Although Beixiao Liang could feel that fluctuation, he was confused and had no idea about what Su Li was doing. Qi Chen couldn’t sense anything, so he was even more clueless than Beixiao Liang.

Su Li waited patiently. A moment later, the flat ground suddenly bulged out with a small b.u.mp.

“Here it is!”

Her eyes lit up, and she immediately flashed to the bulge and excavated the dirt. Beixiao Liang followed and then saw a palm-sized ancient compa.s.s hidden inside.

“The tactical matrix compa.s.s. Could it be the concealing tactical matrix Qi Chen mentioned?”

He recognized the object and quickly related it with Qi Chen’s secret transmission before. He a.s.sumed that this object was obviously a rare treasure, but he had no intention to own it, or better to say he didn’t dare to have an intention.

This mysterious female pract.i.tioner was powerful, and her methods were odd and unpredictable. She was definitely a formidable character, and should not be messed with!

Since Chen Xianghan was dead, the compa.s.s became an object without an owner. Su Li put a drop of her blood on it to complete her claim to owners.h.i.+p and put it away for further study when she went out.

After doing these, Su Li looked up at Beixiao Liang and Qi Chen and said indifferently, “You two, come with me.”

Beixiao Liang and Qi Chen looked at each other and found a hint of bitterness in the eyes of their counterparts. Then they followed her together.

Four days later, they arrived at a valley with picturesque scenery, where the concentration of nimbus was several times higher than the other areas in the Secret Realm of Shattered Spirits.

“There’s such a scenically beautiful and blessed place in the Secret Realm of Shattered Spirits?”

Beixiao Liang was amazed, for he had entered the Secret Realm of Shattered Spirits several times, but he had never been to this area. When he recalled the concealing tactical matrix before, he had a guess in his mind.

This area might be concealed by her tactical matrix, and no one under Jindan Realm could discover it!

The valley was small, so it didn’t take them long to reach the end. Under the dense trees, one could see some traces of house construction.

“Whatever it is, it can’t stand the pa.s.sage of time…”
