"You bish, what are you talking about?"

Chen Xuan frowned.

"Bish?"

Zhao Qingyue looked startled, not quite understanding what Chen Xuan meant.

But beside her, Zhao Qingchen’s face darkened.

"He’s cursing you!"

"What did he call me?"

Zhao Qingyue looked at her brother suspiciously.

"Something nasty!"

Zhao Qingchen’s expression was icy.

’How dare he use such vulgar words to insult my beloved sister.’

’That dog!’

’Once we get inside, I’ll make him pay!’

"You bastard! I was originally thinking that dealing with you inside would be going too far, but I’ve changed my mind. I’m going to crush you in a way that’s even more brutal than planned. I’ll make you regret everything and show you the consequences of spewing filth in front of me!"

Zhao Qingyue snorted, as proud as a little swan.

The surrounding crowd had all noticed the confrontation.

They all turned to look, their expressions odd.

’That Chen Xuan is actually facing off against the two siblings from the Zhao family?’

’Is he really that brave?’

’Even by the Human List rankings, he’s much weaker than both of them.’

"Uncle Wuu, it looks like they’re planning to deal with Chen Xuan, too?"

The young lady not far away asked, her eyes fixed on the scene ahead. "If Chen Xuan is defeated, then what do we do?"

Beside her, Uncle Wuu frowned slightly as well.

He clearly hadn’t expected the Zhao siblings to clash with Chen Xuan either. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Let’s wait and see. If the Zhao siblings seriously injure Chen Xuan, you can just challenge them instead. It’s all the same."

Uncle Wuu said in a low voice.

"Challenge them?"

The young lady was clearly nervous again. "But can I do it?"

"Rest assured, you certainly can."

Uncle Wuu smiled, encouraging her. "You just need to know that with your strength, you would have been strong enough to rank Eighth or Seventh on the Human List in previous years. Confidence is the only problem you need to face right now."

"...Okay."

The young lady nodded nervously.

Under the gazes of the crowd,

Chen Xuan frowned, staring at Zhao Qingyue. "It seems my feeling was right. You two are here to deal with me?"

"Not deal with. Crush!"

Zhao Qingyue’s voice was cold as she looked down on Chen Xuan mockingly. "Remember, it’s ’crush.’ Got it? I even have a complete step-by-step process prepared just for you. You’ll find out soon enough!"

She was incredibly conceited and exceptionally proud.

’He’s a mere twentieth on the Human List. It was bad enough that he did all those terrible things before.’

’But now he dares to insult me with his snide remarks!’

’This is absolutely intolerable!’

"Got it!"

Chen Xuan nodded.

’Confirmed!’

’They’re enemies!’

BOOM!

An utterly terrifying aura suddenly erupted from his body. It was accompanied by an extreme, dreadful pressure that slammed into Zhao Qingyue’s heart, making the hair on her neck stand up instantly. She looked horrified, feeling as if a flaming mountain was crashing down on her.

It wasn’t just her.

Everyone in the town turned their heads abruptly, their expressions changing.

When they looked back, they witnessed an utterly terrifying scene.

Chen Xuan was enveloped in crimson-gold True Qi. The terrifying aura made the ground tremble as he ruthlessly sent a terrifying, dazzling palm strike directly at Zhao Qingyue.

Zhao Qingyue’s eyes widened in horror. She screamed, desperately thrusting out both her palms.

Beside her, Zhao Qingchen roared in anger. Without a second thought, he channeled True Qi through his hands and furiously poured it into his sister’s back, trying to help her resist Chen Xuan’s palm strike.

BANG!

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Chen Xuan’s savage and terrifying peerless palm, like a meteor from the heavens, slammed into Zhao Qingyue’s body with a blazing, fiery light.

PSHHT!

In a single exchange, Zhao Qingyue coughed up a mouthful of blood. The clothes on her body instantly exploded into pieces, leaving her completely bare. Both of her arms snapped at the same time. Her entire body, covered in blood and the blinding gleam of skin, was sent flying dozens of meters, soaring straight out of town and into the expanding Array.

THUMP!

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Qingyue disappeared.

"Sister!"

Zhao Qingchen’s eyes widened in disbelief. Blood trickled from the corner of his own mouth, and his heart pounded with terror.

’My sister.’

’An expert ranked eighteenth on the Human List, sent flying by a single palm strike.’

’Even the True Qi I just transferred to her was completely useless.’

’That scorching, terrifying True Qi directly injured me as well.’

The whole town was in an uproar, utterly unable to believe what they had just seen.

Mr. Zhuo had been in the middle of discussions with the elders of the major factions and had never expected such a sudden turn of events.

But that was not all.

After sending Zhao Qingyue flying with one palm, Chen Xuan immediately followed up, directing that same savage, incomparably ferocious palm strike straight at Zhao Qingchen.

"Your turn!"

The cold, terrifying voice rang directly in Zhao Qingchen’s ears, startling him. He let out a roar and desperately circulated his True Qi and martial arts to defend himself.

But under Chen Xuan’s terrifying combat power,

his struggles and resistance were as fragile as paper, easily shattered.

His Cultivation was only at the True Qi Third Layer, a layer weaker than Chen Xuan to begin with, not to mention all the buffs Chen Xuan had stacked.

BOOM!

Under the shocked and disbelieving gazes of the crowd, a loud explosion rang out. All the True Qi on Zhao Qingchen’s body dissipated. He coughed up a torrent of blood and screamed as his entire body, just like his sister’s, was sent flying ruthlessly into the Array outside the town.

While still in mid-air, his clothes instantly exploded into tatters.

Everyone was stunned.

The young lady from before, in particular, was trembling and backing away.

"Uncle Wuu, I can’t do it, I can’t do it..."

She waved her hands frantically, her eyes filled with terror.

’Too terrifying!’

’This Chen Xuan is too terrifying.’

Even Uncle Wuu beside her had his pupils constrict in disbelief.

In another direction, the twenty-first on the Human List, Shi Pojun of the ’Mountain Shattering Palm,’ stared with his eyes wide, almost popping out of their sockets.

’I’m not seeing things, am I?’

’The Zhao siblings were sent flying just like that? And by that Chen Xuan!’

’How is that possible?’

"The great Array is open! Enter the mystic realm, quickly!"

Just then, Mr. Zhuo’s furious roar suddenly rang out, inadvertently drawing all the heat for Chen Xuan.

He was utterly and completely shocked.

’Chen Xuan... what kind of monster is he?’

’Did he fucking take out the twins of the Qingyun Sect just like that, one palm strike each?’

’No wonder Luo Hongtian had written to him so desperately!’

SWOOSH!

Without a second thought, Chen Xuan had already shot into the great Array outside the town and vanished in the blink of an eye.

’How could he just let that pair of siblings go?’

’It’s not every day someone comes looking for trouble.’

’Naturally, I have to squeeze them dry!’

As Chen Xuan rushed in, everyone else snapped back to their senses. They scrambled to rush in as well, pushing aside their shock.

Only the elder from the Qingyun Sect, his eyes red with fury, glared directly at Mr. Zhuo.

"Zhuo Yun!"

He roared, exceptionally furious.

"What are you looking at me for? Your sect’s disciples were too weak. What the hell does that have to do with me?"

Mr. Zhuo shouted back angrily.

"You!"

The Qingyun Sect elder’s eyelids twitched violently, his heart in turmoil.

’What the fuck just happened?’

’It was too fast!’

’So fast that before he could even react, the twins his Qingyun Sect had painstakingly cultivated were brutally defeated and seriously injured.’

’He didn’t even know if they were dead or alive now.’

’Because both of them had been blasted into the great Array...’

"Dammit!"

He stomped around on the spot in anger, cursing loudly.

"Uncle Wuu, what should I do?"

The nervous young lady from the Sword Sect looked at the old servant beside her.

"Young Lady, don’t be nervous. Let’s go inside first and focus on competing for a spot."

The old servant said in a low voice, "As for Chen Xuan, if you really don’t want to face him, you can just find someone else to challenge after you come out."

"Okay, okay."

The young lady, her heart pounding with anxiety, still walked toward the great Array outside the town.

The old servant sighed internally.

’This young lady clearly possesses astonishing strength.’

’But she doesn’t have a shred of confidence.’

’In truth, with her power, it’s not impossible that she could have defeated Chen Xuan.’

’If she were only a bit braver, a bit more confident, a fierce battle with Chen Xuan in front of everyone today would have become a celebrated tale in the martial world.’

’The reputation of our Sword Sect would have surely soared.’

’But now...’

’We can only give up such a perfect opportunity.’

...

Inside the world of the Array.

Chen Xuan’s body shot out like a bolt of lightning, landing in a dense forest. His gaze swept around, and he quickly spotted some bloodstains on the ground and a few broken trees.

"Trying to run?"

He immediately followed the trail in pursuit.

At this very moment, the Zhao siblings were terrified, trembling, and completely naked. With broken arms, disheveled hair, and bodies covered in blood, they fled in a state of panicked disarray.

’How did it come to this?’

’Even now, they couldn’t believe they had ended up in such a state.’

’What is that Chen Xuan’s Cultivation level?’

’Isn’t he ranked twentieth on the Human List?’

’Why?’

’Why did he defeat us like this in a single move?’

Zhao Qingchen, in particular, was injured even more severely than Zhao Qingyue...

This was because Chen Xuan had used three times his combat power when striking him, not only shattering his arms but also crushing his sternum and damaging his internal organs.

With every step he ran, blood streamed from his seven orifices. He was dizzy, disoriented, and in immense pain.

"I... I can’t... I can’t run anymore..."

His body collapsed to the ground, his face contorted in agony.

’Can anyone save me?’

"Brother, Brother, you can’t just lie here..."

Zhao Qingyue was terrified. "We don’t have any clothes! Let’s go, hurry! We can’t let anyone see us..."

She was on the verge of a complete breakdown.

But her breakdown quickly turned into absolute terror.

Because just then, the sound of rapid footsteps, carrying a powerful and frightening aura, approached swiftly from the dense forest behind them. It sounded like some utterly terrifying beast, filling her heart with dread...
