Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator-Chapter 240 Mercy Towards An Assassin

"Zhan Chen! What happened to him suddenly?", Lu Mingxi muttered with disbelief in her eyes. She couldn't beleive that Zhan Chen would become so violent suddenly.

"Little Chen has probably found the culprit of yesterday. Otherwise, he wouldn't behave like this", Zhan Qingyue spoke. Lu Mingxi nodded her head in understanding after hearing Zhan Qingyue's words.

Zhan Chen let go of the cultivator after slamming him twice on the ground. There was a certain calmness on his face which made him look more terrifying.

"Zhiqing, this brat is really dangerous. Don't go and mess with him in future", the emperor of the Spirit palace warned the eldest Chi sister. ƒr𝙚𝙚𝘸e𝚋𝐧૦ѵ𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝒐m

Chi Zhiqing knitted her eyebrows but still nodded her head. There was a deep curiousity in her eyes as she looked towards Zhan Chen.

Zhan Chen walked slowly amidst the fighting cultivators. Many cultivators around him gave way to him after seeing his ferocity.

He was just planning to catch another assassin when his path was blocked by a smiling young man. "Brother, you seem to be strong. How about a match with me?", he looked towards Zhan Chen.

"Can't it wait? I am in a hurry now", Zhan Chen replied. 𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎

"Of course. I will find you after a while", the smiling young man spoke. He moved away and saw Zhan Chen walking towards the center.

"Zhan Chen of the Zhan clan. I need to see for myself how strong you are", he thought to himself.

"A Core condensation realm young man! Let's see his prowess after taking care of these assasins", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He used Cloud chasing steps and appeared behind a seemingly ordinary looking girl. The girl was busy in fighting a young man with her sword. A frightened look appeared on her face after she saw Zhan Chen walking towards him.

"How did you find me?", she asked Zhan Chen with disbelief in her eyes. Zhan Chen didn't offer any answer and stretched his hand towards her head.

"Crack", a sound of bone breaking came out and the lifeless body of the girl slumped to the ground. Zhan Chen didn't stop there. He walked around to search for another assasin who was sent by the Heavenly sword sect.

A cultivator came charging at him after finding him without weapon. He swung his thorny mace violently with an intention to take him down with a single blow.

Zhan Chen dodged the attack swiftly and sent a kick towards the mace wielding cultivator. A cracking sound came from the chest of the cultivator as he flew away along with his mace.

Somewhere in a distant hill, a cultivator was gazing at Zhan Chen with a poisonous look in his eyes. The look in his eyes changed when he saw Zhan Chen walking towards a certain cultivator.

The cultivator in question was wielding a sword and observing the crowd with alertness in his eyes. The look on his face changed slightly after seeing Zhan Chen approaching from a distance.

"Are you not planning to run?", Zhan Chen asked the cultivator.

"There is no point. I will be dead either way", the cultivator replied. Zhan Chen nodded his head and took out his sword. The cultivator tried to parry his attacks but Zhan Chen didn't give him too many chances. His third attack was a thrust towards the neck of the cultivator and the cultivator couldn't offer a resistance to such an abrupt attack.

He could only move his neck slightly as a deep wound appeared on the side of his neck. A look of hopelessness appeared in his eyes as he saw Zhan Chen launching another attack.

"Sorry Xin'er, I have to disappoint you", he thought to himself as he waited for Zhan Chen's sword to arrive. But to his surprise, the sword stopped midway and Zhan Chen turned to move away from the battlefield.

"Wait. Why did you stop?", he asked Zhan Chen with disbelief in his eyes.

"Tend to your wound. We will talk after the conclusion of the first round", Zhan Chen replied.

The cultivator felt confused for a while but a decisive look appeared on his face at the next moment. He quickly moved towards the edge of the stone platform and jumped down.

"No matter what I have to thank him for the mercy he has shown towards me", he thought to himself.

Zhan Chen didn't target any more cultivators and walked towards the middle of the stone platform. Kai Min was still fighting there with a cultivator of mid True essence realm.

Zhan Chen watched their fight for a while but he had to intervene when Kai Min fell into a complete disadvantage. "You still need practice", Zhan Chen spoke to her after taking her away from the battle.

"Do you still wish to continue?", he asked Kai Min.

"No, I have fought a few battles and it is enough for me", Kai Min spoke. She bade her farewell to Zhan Chen and left the stone platform.

The battle was already coming to close as only thirty cultivators were left when Kai Min left the rock platform. The number of cultivators soon reduced to twenty as only late True essence realm and peak True essence realm cultivators left on the rock platform.

Three cultivators came charging at Zhan Chen wishing to take him down together. Their attacks were coordinated and one could see that they must know eachother before coming to the rock platform.

Zhan Chen took out his sword and stood on his place calmly. He launched a half moon slash at the last moment which blasted away the three attackers.

He used Cloud chasing steps and followed the three blasted cultivators. A horizontal slash came towards them when they had just stood up from the ground.

Zhan Chen felt an eye on him when he had just finished taking care of the three cultivators. He turned his head and found the smiling cultivator from earlier looking towards him.

"You can come challenge me now. Let's see what trick you have in your sleeves", Zhan Chen spoke.

"Zhan Chen, wait a while. I, Li Huanwu will definitely challenge you after I finish up the other cultivators", the smiling young man spoke.

"So, you are from the nine superpowers, Li clan. No wonder, you want to challenge me since the beginning", Zhan Chen commented with a smile.

He watched the ongoing battle with a relaxed expression on his face. For some strange reason, no cultivator came to bother him at the last moment. Everyone was busy fighting eachother and even Lu Huanwu was busy with fighting a sabre wielding young man.

A young girl finally defeated her opponent and laid her eyes on Zhan Chen. "Which clan young master he is? I have never heard of him but he is so dazzling!", she thought to herself.

Zhan Chen smiled after seeing the awestruck look on her face. "Little missy, do you wish to battle?", he asked the young girl.

The girl was about to nod her head but a shout stopped her from approaching Zhan Chen. "Ying Ting, don't fight him. He is Zhan Chen, the descendant of ancient Zhan clan".

"Another one who has heard about me", Zhan Chen thought to himself and turned to look at the speaker.
