Chapter 1740 (Raw 1751): Hidden Talents

After seeing Xiao Chen successfully attain the city walls, several people tried to imitate him. However, they all ended up in miserable situations.

Those people were ruthlessly kicked off. Due to the pressure from the formation, going up was hideously difficult. However, falling was incomparably easy.

As a result, those who were weaker ended up badly mangled when they fell, a cruel sight.

The strong preyed on the weak; those who adapted survived.

Xiao Chen watched coldly from the side, not stopping those who kicked people off, but he did not join them, either.

"They are here!"

"This southern Flame Demon stampede happens every half a year. For some reason, it has only been three months since the previous one, and they actually came again."

"Who knows? The Flame Demons are cruel. The flesh and soul of humans are great nourishment for them. Perhaps they got greedy."

"I heard that the experts of the northern city have mostly left in groups already, to explore deeper. I'm afraid that this Flame Demon stampede won't be so easy to fend off."

"There were many precedents of the southern city's defense failing. Each time the Flame Demons managed to enter the city, it was like a slaughterhouse."

"However, the Flame Demons know their limits as well. They won't enter the northern city."

After hearing the discussions on the city wall, Xiao Chen gained a rough understanding of Dragon Flame City when he pieced them with the information he previously obtained.

Dragon Flame City was split into the northern city and southern city.

Xiao Chen was at the southern city gates, which were near the periphery of the Dragon Flame Ancient Land; hence, the experts were not particularly plentiful here.

The northern city faced the interior of the Dragon Flame Ancient Land, seventy percent of which had yet to be explored.

That was also the most popular land among experts for adventuring.

When Xiao Chen looked to the front, he saw fiery clouds covering the desolate ancient land, with sparks and fire everywhere.

The entire place teemed with raging and howling Flame Demons slowly pressing their way over to Dragon Flame City.

Amid the mob of Flame Demons was a Flame Demon that blazed with a strange blue flame all over its body, looking exceptionally eye-catching.

The aura that this Flame Demon exuded was also extremely scary. Even from far away, people could feel its Fiendish Demon aura.

That was a bona fide Star-Venerate-level Flame Demon, probably the leader of this Flame Demon stampede.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Just at this moment, several experts jumped onto the city walls. These people radiated sharp and cold auras from their entire body as they gazed with grave expressions at the stampeding Flame Demons.

At the same time, a middle-aged swordsman wearing a black cape and holding a treasure sword appeared at the highest point of the city walls.

"Beiming Feng!"

"One of the ten strongest swordsmen of Dragon Flame City. With him here, this Flame Demon stampede won't be a problem at all."

"This also startled some of the people in the northern city, who have not yet left, into action."

Xiao Chen sized up these people. The cultivators of the northern sector were indeed quite incredible.

It was not just as simple as having a high cultivation. There was also the heavy killing Qi and the invisible air that they gave off.

With one glance, one could tell that this was the aura of an expert.

As for Beiming Feng, he was a bona fide Star Venerate. He impressed Xiao Chen much more than the Heavenly Profound Gate's white-haired old man did.

"Kill!"

With the Flame Demons having reached the city walls, the cultivators who could not enter the city had no choice but to start a fight to the death with them.

At this moment, Beiming Feng leaped into the air and landed in the center of the Flame Demon troops, directly challenging that strongest Flame Demon.

The many cultivators on the city walls, who were raring to go, also jumped off the city walls at this moment.

A light flickered in Xiao Chen's eyes. After thinking for a while, he leaped down as well, charging at the Flame Demons.

With a wave of his hand, the Seven Deadly Sins merged into one sharp saber; he started a massacre with it in his hand.

A Minor Primal Core Flame Demon could not even last one move before Xiao Chen.

With the support of Great Dao Energy, five stars lit up on his 9-Star Primal Core. Amid the chaos, he used the Army Breaking Saber Technique and slaughtered heartily.

From every Flame Demon Xiao Chen killed, he would instantly extract a white Blaze Crystal.

He had long since discovered the preciousness of the Blaze Crystal. The Heavenly Flame could directly consume the crystal to replenish any drain on its energy.

The stronger blue Blaze Crystal could even help the Heavenly Flame in raising its rank.

Xiao Chen's strength immediately attracted some attention in the chaos.

"Look! That white-clad bladesman is quite strong."

"Despite his low cultivation, his Saber Technique is astonishing. What a surprise!"

"I heard that there are many newly advanced experts of the same in this Dragon Flame City recently."

Not everyone could easily subdue the enemy like Xiao Chen could. When facing the Flame Demons, the regular cultivators had to be careful.

Just at this moment, Xiao Chen paid some special attention to one of the experts fighting who came from the northern city.

Earlier, he had not looked very carefully. Only after the fight started did he realize that this person was also a bladesman.

That person wore black, with a mask on his face, and his long hair covered his back.

His Saber Technique clearly showed the characteristics of viciousness. It was straightforward and sharp, heavy and powerful. When that person combined that with his peak Major Primal Core cultivation, the Flame Demons of the same cultivation could not last more than three moves against him.

After these people attracted attention, the Tribe-Leader-level Flame Demons targeted them.

"Lowly human who steals life, we meet again."

A clump of fiery clouds descended from the sky and landed before Xiao Chen, blocking him from further killing.

Xiao Chen held his saber horizontally in front of him and said coldly, "What can you do to me?!"

"Humph! I want your life!"

The blue-haired Flame Demon's figure flashed, arriving before Xiao Chen. Then, it threw a palm strike, giving off boundless heatwaves.

Xiao Chen smiled coldly in his heart. Previously, when he retreated, it was not because he feared the other party.

He just had not wanted to get surrounded by Flame Demons. Since this blue-haired Flame Demon wanted to fight, then he would grant its wish.

Xiao Chen casually waved his hand, and the Seven Deadly Sins turned into seven bright lights and scattered. Then, he drew the Tyrant Saber. Immediately, his Army Breaking Saber Technique became significantly mightier.

With a gentle swing, he smashed apart the boundless heatwaves.

The Flame Demons held an advantage in the physical body. In this Dragon Flame Ancient Land, they also held the geographical advantage. Furthermore, the blue-haired Flame Demon's cultivation was not low.

However, the greatest weakness of the Flame Demons was the lack of systematic Martial Techniques.

By relying on his Saber Techniques and the Tyrant Saber in his hand, Xiao Chen was already undefeatable when he poured in Great Dao Energy.

In this exchange, the blue-haired Flame Demon fell into a disadvantage after ten moves.

The blue-haired Flame Demon relied on its physical body to go all out, fighting a savage battle with Xiao Chen, not letting him go.

This was a rather good strategy. A cultivator's Veritable Essence Energy definitely could not compare to a Flame Demon's. If things dragged out, it would be hard to say who would end up winning.

Xiao Chen saw through this trick and smiled coldly to himself, not clashing head-on with the Flame Demon.

In any case, Xiao Chen already swallowed up the holy fire. He did not need to fight to the death with the Flame Demon.

The blue-haired Flame Demon turned into a clump of fiery cloud. As it soared into the air, it roared, and boundless fire rained down at Xiao Chen.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The rain of fire blasted out scary, deep pits in the ground. The soil instantly vaporized into nothing.

This attack was the Flame Demon's most powerful move. It covered a large area and was very fast, possessing great offensive power.

Several human cultivators got implicated and died on the spot. Some became inflicted with the fire poison and promptly withdrew from the battle.

No one dared to remain near the two's battle.

Xiao Chen slid back with his arms spread wide. A saber light danced around in his hand, shattering all the fire bombarding him.

The gorgeous saber light formed a screen of light, raising a perfect defense.

The fiery clouds in the sky took human form again. Just as it was about to swoop down, a saber light soared straight at it.

Breaking the World arrived before the Flame Demon.

"Boom!" The strongest killing move of the Army Breaking Saber Technique engulfed the Flame Demon. Two kinds of Great Dao appeared within the move.

The saber strike knocked the blue-haired Flame Demon back, flames trailing the Fiendish Demon's body like so much blood.

After landing, that blue-haired Flame Demon appeared weakened, no longer as arrogant as it was before.

It was also at this moment that the Flame Demon leader fighting Beiming Feng at the center lost momentum.

After the Flame Demon leader howled, all the Flame Demons formed groups and retreated like the wind.

When the blue-haired Flame Demon saw the situation, it glared at Xiao Chen and took the opportunity to withdraw.

"Whoosh!"

However, a dull light arrived from somewhere. When the dull light stopped, Xiao Chen saw that it was from the masked bladesman that he paid attention to.

The masked bladesman coldly and emotionlessly chopped down with his saber, hacking the blue-haired Flame Demon that was retreating in half.

Flames filled the sky. A Medial Grade Flame Demon fell just like this.

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and soared into the air, shooting forward at lightning speed and grabbing at its blue Blaze Crystal.

"Watch my saber!"

The masked bladesman smiled coldly and sent out a black saber light, which also produced a strange sound like ghosts howling, at Xiao Chen.

Immediately, a mysterious phenomenon appeared.

Xiao Chen felt like he had fallen into hell with malicious evils being burned by fire all around. The space was filled with metal chains binding those who had sinned in life.

Xiao Chen's body fell continuously in that scary space. What was below him seemed to be an endless, bottomless chasm.

Xiao Chen focused and calmed himself. He paid attention to guarding his dantian. Then, without getting flustered, he calmly launched a saber strike.

The illusion disappeared, but in reality, the saber light in the masked bladesman's hand was still approaching Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen had to give up on that blue Blaze Crystal. His figure flashed as he retreated.

The masked bladesman smiled faintly and interrupted his move. Then, he reached out to grab the blue Blaze Crystal.

However, when he looked up, he noticed something strange—a purple flower appeared in Xiao Chen's right eye.

Without much thought, the masked bladesman pulled himself back.

After Xiao Chen landed, his expression appeared somewhat grave. He had been too careless.

The saber skills of this masked bladesman were actually not weaker than Xiao Chen's. The Martial Technique that he practiced was similar to Xiao Chen's Mahāmāyā Abstinence Violation Saber Technique.

With a little Soul Energy, that Martial Technique attacked the soul, creating an illusion.

Furthermore, the masked bladesman's reaction was swift. The moment Xiao Chen started to execute the Divine Lightning Eye, the masked bladesman noticed that something was wrong and moved away at once.

This resulted in the Ten Thousand Tribulation Divine Lightning losing its target, forcing Xiao Chen to dismiss it midway.

"Dang!"

The blue Blaze Crystal landed on the ground with a melodious sound. It flickered with a resplendent blue flame, looking exceptionally bright.

A strange light flashed in the masked bladesman's eyes. He smiled and said, "Your saber skills are pretty good. We will definitely meet again."

Right after the masked bladesman spoke, he retreated, directly giving up on the blue Blaze Crystal.

Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and grabbed the blue Blaze Crystal.

As Xiao Chen watched the other party join up with the other cultivators from the northern city, he showed a contemplative expression.

Dragon Flame City indeed teemed with hidden talents.

This Flame Demon stampede forced out many experts. Xiao Chen wondered if there were more in the northern city who had not revealed themselves.

A figure whistled by in the sky. Everywhere this figure passed, everyone felt a pressure.

After defeating the Flame Demon leader, Beiming Feng left without a word.
