Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 793 - : 793
Chapter 793: 793
Zhao Zhenxuan’s mood at this moment could only be described as infuriated.
As an Innate powerhouse who had been in control of Red Cliff City for several decades, his spirits and will were naturally very strong.
Yet witnessing one elite death squad after another being calmly killed by Wang Chen, and being unable to stop it, even with his deep calculations, made him feel as if his eyes were about to crack open.
Regrettably, no matter how hard Zhao Zhenxuan tried, he was always a step behind Wang Chen.
The two of them chased each other around in the underground cavern, their figures hardly visible, accompanied only by scream after scream, as the number of surviving green-robed martial artists dwindled.
But these death squads were also brave, not running away or begging for mercy even in such circumstances.
The final outcome was that they all died under Wang Chen’s spear.
It all happened in less than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea!
Initially, Zhao Zhenxuan used every trick in the book to pursue and kill Wang Chen but after being futilely intercepted several times and toyed with, he finally realized the gap between Wang Chen and himself in terms of speed and agility.
This Innate powerhouse began to consider retreating.
If he couldn’t even catch up, then even if Wang Chen was not his match, escaping with his life would be no problem.
If he couldn’t do anything to Wang Chen, what was the point of staying here?
Once this thought arose, Zhao Zhenxuan’s pursuit immediately faltered.
He thought more about how to manage the aftermath.
Right at this time, Zhao Zhenxuan noticed that Wang Chen had stopped in his tracks.
Holding his long spear facing Zhao Zhenxuan!
Zhao Zhenxuan’s heart skipped a beat.
He was shocked to discover that in the cavern, aside from himself and Wang Chen, there was no one left standing!
All twelve elite death squad members had been annihilated!
Zhao Zhenxuan couldn’t help but take a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and said in a deep voice, “I must admit, I made a grave mistake, I vastly underestimated you!”
Wang Chen said nothing, only the look in his eyes at Zhao Zhenxuan gained a hint of mockery.
Pretend, keep pretending!
Zhao Zhenxuan keenly sensed the ridicule in Wang Chen’s gaze and nearly exploded with rage, barely keeping his defenses intact.
This Innate powerhouse maintained his composure and continued, “When two tigers fight, one is sure to get injured. Wang Chen, we are both Innate Martial Artists and don’t have a deep-seated grudge. There is no need to fight to the death.”
“How about this,”
he said through gritted teeth, “you win this time, from today on, you are the new Lord of Red Cliff!”
With things having reached this point, Zhao Zhenxuan was not naive enough to think that a few words would easily dispel Wang Chen.
This Innate powerhouse had to consider that his own road had come to an end, while Wang Chen’s future was immeasurable. If he didn’t make a substantial offering now to settle this matter, future losses could be tenfold!

His greatest asset was none other than the city of Red Cliff.
Thus, despite the reluctance in his heart, Zhao Zhenxuan still made what he considered a wise choice.
“But I hope you can give me some time to take my family and some of our assets with us.”
Zhao Zhenxuan had controlled Red Cliff City for decades, and his Zhao Clan was undoubtedly the largest and wealthiest family in the city.
These assets and wealth would definitely leave behind a lot, but some had to be taken away.
Zhao Zhenxuan felt that this request was not excessive.
Only to hear Wang Chen reply, “That’s too much trouble, I might as well just kill you.”
What?
Zhao Zhenxuan could hardly believe his own ears.
He humbled himself extensively, having lowered his stance to an unprecedented level. The humiliation was something he’d never experienced in his lifetime.
And he never expected Wang Chen to be so ungrateful!
This Innate powerhouse became furious, “You…”
A long spear tore through the air towards him!
Wang Chen’s response was just that straightforward and simple.
Zhao Zhenxuan’s face instantly flushed red as this Innate powerhouse finally let go of all illusions.
“Kill!”
A tremendous battle between Innate Martial Artists erupted.
Booming reverberations continued without end, countless pieces of rock and dust cascaded down, invisible Qi Energy cutting through the hard rock walls like blades, occasionally severing several thick stalactite columns.
Dust and smoke billowed, engulfing both sides of the battle.
After a long while, the commotion in the cavern finally subsided, and the scattered dust settled.
Wang Chen’s figure was the first to emerge.
He held the Moon Slaying Saber in his hand, his garments torn with two slashes, his expression calm and composed.
Three steps away, Zhao Zhenxuan knelt on the ground, his head lowered.
A long spear had pierced through his back, transfixing his body and protruding two feet from his chest.
This spear had punctured the heart of the Innate strong man!
“Cough, cough!”
But Zhao Zhenxuan’s vitality was extremely tenacious, and he had not died immediately. He coughed painfully twice, barely managing to lift his head, “Wang Chen, I am thoroughly convinced in defeat, it’s a worthy death.”
If time could flow backward, he certainly would not have targeted Wang Chen.
But it was too late for regrets now.
“You can take all my possessions, I only ask that you spare my Zhao Clan.”
As he spoke, Zhao Zhenxuan took a blood-stained imperial seal from his bosom, “This is the Red Cliff City Seal, now it’s yours.”
As soon as he finished speaking, his head drooped listlessly.
[Qi-Blood +100000]
What a needless struggle!
Wang Chen shook his head.
He was a visitor from another world, staying in Red Cliff City only to wait for Hu Jiaojiao, having no desire to covet this city.
Alas, though man harbors no ill will towards the tiger, the tiger might still harbor harmful intent, leading to this outcome—a fate that had to be!
Zhao Zhenxuan had assumed his Cultivation Level was superior to Wang Chen’s and, coupled with the confidence that the Slaying Blade Formation ensured victory, he didn’t realize that Wang Chen’s Cultivation Level had already reached the peak of Innate, and he was also empowered by three Divine Weapons!
The Slaying Blade Formation was nothing but a joke!
He took the Red Cliff City Seal left by Zhao Zhenxuan but did not touch the other belongings of the Innate strong man.
Wang Chen placed Zhao Zhenxuan’s body along with the bodies of his twelve subordinates into a pit and then buried them under large rocks.
It was the last sign of respect for an Innate strong man.
Afterward, Wang Chen returned to Red Cliff City.
The first thing he did upon arriving in the city was to find Shao Hongcheng and bluntly said, “Senior Brother, I have killed Zhao Zhenxuan.”
“Ah?”
Shao Hongcheng doubted his ears, “What did you say?”
“I killed Zhao Zhenxuan!”
Wang Chen showed the Red Cliff City Seal, “He set a trap to kill me, but ended up being killed by me, it’s that simple.”
Shao Hongcheng was stunned.
After a long time, he came back to his senses, “This, this…”
Shao Hongcheng simply didn’t know what to say.
Zhao Zhenxuan was actually dead.
And he was killed by Wang Chen—this was a world-shaking event!
He swallowed hard and cautiously asked, “Junior Brother, what do you plan to do now?”
“We’ll do what needs to be done,” Wang Chen replied indifferently, “I still need to stay in Red Cliff City for a while.”
“Then you are the Lord of Red Cliff!”
Shao Hongcheng clenched his fist, “Junior Brother, I support you!”
He realized this was a huge opportunity.
Wang Chen smiled.
“No, you are the Lord of Red Cliff.”
