Chapter 273 One Martial Saint!
More than ten minutes ago.
A secret room behind the Ouyang family garden.
Old Master Ouyang stood alone in the secret room, solemnly turning on a machine.
The machine projected a beam of light, and a figure slowly appeared within the light.
It was an elderly man with white hair and a youthful face. At this moment, he raised his eyebrows slightly and stared calmly at Old Master Ouyang.
"Ouyang Zhu, pay your respects to the Ancestor!" Old Master Ouyang actually knelt down respectfully before the old man and called out.
The old man slightly raised one hand, his brows furrowing slightly.
"Ouyang Zhu, what business do you have with me? I remember saying that you should not bother me unless it is extremely important." His words contained a powerful sense of authority.
"Ancestor, there is an extremely important matter at hand!" Ouyang Zhu said solemnly, prostrating himself on the ground.
"My Ouyang family has gained an exceptional son-in-law, who has already consummated his relationship with Mu Xue. This young man is a discarded son of the Xiao family in the southern city, while our family is the Xiao family in the capital..."
"His talent and strength are the strongest I have ever seen in my life!"
Upon hearing this, the old man's expression didn't change much; he picked up a cup of tea and slowly savored it.
"A person who is so highly regarded and praised by you can't be that great," he said calmly.
“Ancestor, shouldn’t I value someone who can kill the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley at only twenty-something years old?” Ouyang Zhu said stubbornly.
"puff!"
The old man's eyes widened instantly, and he spat out all the tea in his mouth.
"What did you say?"
He didn't even bother to wipe his mouth, staring wide-eyed at Ouyang Zhu with an expression that said, "Did I hear that right?"
"In his twenties, he killed the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley?" the old man repeated, his face full of disbelief.
“Ancestor, if you don’t believe me, you can ask around. There were quite a few people who witnessed the battle tonight,” Ouyang Zhu said solemnly.
"There are also videos online..."
The old man, with a stern face, immediately went to check.
He soon saw a video of Xiao Chen wreaking havoc in the Ouyang family garden.
It would be one thing if numerous top assassins were wiped out like chickens and dogs...
Even the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, who was at the second level of the King rank, was swiftly killed!
After watching the video, the old man looked solemn.
"A genius beyond compare! He has the potential to be invincible in the future!" He gave his assessment, then his face darkened.
"Fortunately, this video hasn't spread widely yet. I will order someone to intervene and make sure it disappears completely!" the old man said.
Ouyang Zhu immediately bowed again.
"As expected of the Ancestor, truly possessing great supernatural powers!" he flattered.
The ability to make a video disappear and stop its spread with just a word is truly remarkable.
“This brat is too arrogant. He even dared to kill the adopted son of the Prince of Pingbei in public. The impact is extremely bad. With my abilities, it will be difficult to eliminate him. That’s why I came to ask the Ancestor for instructions,” Ouyang Zhu sighed and said.
The old man's face darkened; he was both annoyed and amused.
"It's good for young people to be proud, but to actually challenge the Pingbei Prince's Mansion alone, how could this kid be so reckless? Reckless! Absolutely too reckless!" He reprimanded him coldly.
"Exceptional talent, a peerless genius, but unfortunately, he's too brainless and acts without considering the consequences..." He sighed repeatedly.
God opens one window and closes another; perhaps that's the balance.
"My Ouyang family has finally produced an exceptional son-in-law, and we must protect him!" the old man said in a deep voice, his tone leaving no room for doubt.
"I will intervene in this matter and ensure that the impact is minimized!" the old man declared authoritatively. "Furthermore, he must not be allowed to go to the Prince of Pingbei's residence again, or he will face dire consequences!"
Ouyang Zhu looked helpless.
"I also wanted to stop him, but he is so powerful that I'm afraid I couldn't do it."
The old man frowned.
“I will send someone… no… I will go myself!” he said solemnly.
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Zhu's expression changed.
To save Xiao Chen, the patriarch was actually going to personally return to the capital...
It's been so long since he's been here...
"With the patriarch personally intervening, Xiao Chen's life is saved." This was Ouyang Zhu's thought.
Despite his extraordinary abilities, Xiao Chen still seemed inexperienced compared to the existence of an ancestor like that. This time, things are settled.
So he went out to inform Ouyang Muxue without worry.
……
Security booth at the entrance of Creative Company.
Xiao Chen placed the security guard uniform in the guard booth.
Zhen Suxin is fine now, so he naturally won't stay here as a security guard forever.
At one moment, Xiao Chen's expression suddenly hardened, and he looked outside.
"Is there an expert?"
Xiao Chen's expression was somewhat solemn as he kept staring in that direction.
His senses are very sharp, especially after he has mastered top-notch martial arts. He can quickly detect any slight movement or disturbance in the vicinity.
Moreover, that person did not deliberately conceal their aura.
This aura is incredibly strong!
As the King of the Underworld, Xiao Chen has fought against countless experts and powerful figures over the years.
The aura emanating from that direction was so powerful that it ranked among the top tier of those who had fought him, practically one of the very few...
"Which side sent them?" Xiao Chen asked warily.
He has too many enemies, so it's inevitable that he'll attract some experts.
I wonder which faction such a master belongs to.
The first person Xiao Chen thought of was the Heavenly King of the Heavenly King Palace.
But Xiao Chen did not sense any killing intent from that aura.
Someone in the shadows seemed to be observing him.
After a moment, Xiao Chen frowned and decided to take the initiative.
A hundred meters away, in a corner, an elderly man with white hair and a youthful face almost blends into the static street scene, oblivious to the birds landing beside him.
He stared at the security booth, his expression slightly strange.
"A peerless genius capable of slaying a second-tier King-level expert is content to be a lowly security guard here?" He chuckled slightly.
Suddenly, his expression hardened.
In the blink of an eye, the people in the security booth had vanished!
The old man immediately became alert and quickly turned around.
Not far behind him, Xiao Chen stood there, staring straight at him.
The old man's pupils contracted slightly.
That's incredible speed...
"Who are you?" Xiao Chen asked calmly.
The opponent was powerful, but he was not afraid.
If they are enemies, then fight them to the death.
The old man stared at Xiao Chen from head to toe, then nodded with a smile.
“Indeed, he is top-notch material for martial arts training…” he said slowly.
"I'm asking you, what's your background?" Xiao Chen's expression grew even colder.
"You don't need to worry about my background. Someone asked me to stop you from going to the Prince of Pingbei's mansion," the old man said, stroking his beard.
Xiao Chen's brows furrowed.
Is this old man a friend or foe?
He doesn't know yet.
"Whoever you are, if you interfere with me, you are my enemy!" Xiao Chen moved his legs slightly and immediately assumed a fighting stance.
The old man was immediately taken aback.
They were about to start a fight after only a couple of words...
Moreover, it was the other side that initiated the declaration of war.
Just as Ouyang Zhu had said, this kid was very arrogant.
"Young man, you don't know that there are mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people. I'll enlighten you!"
"boom!"
The next moment, he unleashed the aura of a martial artist, accompanied by a buzzing sound.
This is a kind of imposing presence that only martial artists who have reached a certain level of mastery can possess.
Before the old man could move, a dragon shape had already formed on his body, roaring as it hurtled towards Xiao Chen.
"True Qi Condenses into Form!"
Xiao Chen's expression changed slightly.
This is beyond what the word "expert" can define.
In the martial arts world of Xia Kingdom, very few can reach this level; there are only a handful in an entire era.
This is a figure at the very pinnacle of the martial arts world, a towering and unparalleled figure...
Even a martial artist at the second level of the King rank could be defeated in one move!
Seeing the dragon-shaped true energy hurtling towards him, Xiao Chen also began to take things seriously.
His brow furrowed, and his aura surged.
"Clang!"
The next moment, a greatsword formed from purple true energy slashed down at the dragon-shaped true energy.
"What!!"
The old man lost his composure for a moment, his eyes widening in shock.
True Qi Condenses into Form!
It was actually formed from true qi!
He never expected that Xiao Chen would be able to use the same method.
"This is true qi condensation! Not everyone can do this..." The old man was truly astonished.
A young martial artist in his early twenties who can reach the King level can be called a rare and unparalleled genius.
Someone like Xiao Chen, capable of killing a second-tier King, is a rare find, perhaps only once every few decades!
That's why the Ouyang family was determined to protect him, which alarmed him even though he was in the capital.
But when he arrived here today and confronted me head-on, he stirred up a storm!
This kid...
They had actually reached that level!
extraordinary!
A transcendent martial saint above the King level...
Even though the old man was knowledgeable and experienced, he was still deeply moved at this moment.
Has such a being ever existed in the martial arts world?
He didn't know; in any case, it wasn't in his knowledge.
"Clang!"
The purple sword energy and the dragon-shaped energy met in the middle, unleashing a terrifying fluctuation.
In the end, both streams of true energy vanished without a trace.
The old man didn't make another move, so Xiao Chen stood still.
The old man's expression was extremely complicated.
The same realm...
But he was already very old, while the other man was in his prime.
The existence of such martial artists in the world is a blessing for an era, but also a misfortune for martial artists of the same era.
"I never expected you to be so extraordinary," the old man exclaimed.
"I can't stop you, nor do I have the right to stop you."
After saying that, he turned and left.
"Who exactly are you?" Xiao Chen frowned and asked again.
"Ouyang Yulong!" The old man didn't turn his head, but simply uttered four words lightly.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen was taken aback for a moment, then his brows relaxed, and his expression showed a slight surprise.
"So it was you..."
He watched Ouyang Yulong leave without saying anything more.
Only after Ouyang Yulong disappeared did he return to the security post as if nothing had happened.
"The Ouyang family has a Martial Saint behind them, no wonder they have that kind of influence..."
He met with a very important figure of the time, but he felt nothing.
The Ouyang family.
"Ouyang Zhu pays respects to the Ancestor!"
Old Master Ouyang bowed to Ouyang Yulong with utmost respect.
Ouyang Yulong gestured for him to stand up.
"Ancestor, how is it? How is Xiao Chen now?" Ouyang Zhu asked with a chuckle.
He asked the patriarch to stop Xiao Chen, which would inevitably involve physical violence. Injuring him and preventing him from leaving was a good idea.
It's not exactly ethical, but it'll save his life, won't it?
“I can’t stop him,” Ouyang Yulong said calmly.
"What? How is that possible?" Ouyang Zhu looked incredulous.
“There’s no need to discuss this further. The Ouyang family doesn’t need to worry about that kid. The Pingbei Prince’s Mansion alone can’t kill him,” Ouyang Yulong said.
Ouyang Zhu looked shocked and couldn't understand it.
Even an existence of such high caliber as the Ancestor couldn't stop Xiao Chen.
what happened?
However, since Ouyang Yulong didn't say anything, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
