STAYING ALIVE CAUTIOUSLY IN THE CELESTIAL REALM AND BECOMING THE STRONGEST

Chapter 831: Chapter 831: Magical Duel (Complete)

Twenty-four samurai were aligned on either side, each holding a long pole with a large flag, the indigo flags fluttering loudly in the wind.

The two gilded white “Green Cloud” characters on the flags were extremely eye-catching.

The flag bearers, each with an aura as spectacular as a rainbow, pressed forward on their horses with an intense fighting spirit, turned out to be without exception Innate Martial Artists!

Such a vanguard setup could only be described as luxurious.

You must know, in the realm of Martial Arts, Innate Martial Artists could sit in charge of cities. In Red Cliff City, where Wang Chen had once resided, there was only one Innate Martial Artist.

But in this troop, Innate Martial Artists were nothing unusual!

Following these Innate flag bearers were ornately decorated Yunluan Carriages.

Each carriage was drawn by four purebred horses, with the coachmen also being Innate Martial Artists.

There were thirteen carriages in total, the one in the center being an eight-tier Yunluan, two tiers higher than the rest.

Anyone familiar with the etiquette and rules of Green Cloud Palace would know that only an Elder-level figure could ride in such a carriage!

In addition, hundreds of fully-armed Iron-clad Cavaliers escorted on the left, right, and rear.

These knights were not Innate Martial Artists, but they were entirely clad in thick armor, only their eyes sharp and piercing, imposing a significant amount of pressure.

Though there were only two or three hundred knights, their momentum in full charge was no less than that of thousands of troops!

Such heavy cavalry, once they launched a charge, no Innate Martial Artist could withstand them head-on.

“Hsss hsss~”

This breathtaking team suddenly stopped about a hundred steps away from White Deer Academy.

The leading flag bearers divided to the left and right, and the eight-tier Yunluan originally in the center broke formation and moved to the front.

Upon the elevated Yunluan, a middle-aged cultivator in a white robe with a long beard sat prominently, his demeanor firm and commanding, his eyes fixed intensely on Wang Chen sitting in front of the academy gate.

“Wang Chen!”

The middle-aged cultivator shouted sternly, “Do you realize your crimes?”

His voice was extremely loud, audible even several miles away.

“Roar! Roar! Roar!”

The twenty-four Innate riders and several hundred armored knights shouted simultaneously, instantly creating an overpowering momentum pressuring towards Wang Chen.

This was the Battle Array killing Qi!

Battle Array killing Qi is a magical treasure for martial artists confronting cultivators, possessing the power to crush souls and seize spirits.

However, Battle Array killing Qi isn’t something that can be deployed at will; it requires warriors of strong power, great spirit, and extensive battle experience to muster.

An ordinary cultivator facing such fierce Battle Array killing Qi would have no choice but to kneel.

Yet, Wang Chen sat unmoved, letting the Battle Array killing Qi approach him without changing his expression, as if a gentle breeze was brushing his face without any pressure.

“Realize my crimes?”

He chuckled, “What crimes should I be aware of? Are you trying to frame me?”

Although Wang Chen did not recognize this middle-aged cultivator, from his appearance and demeanor, it wasn’t hard to guess that he must be Sikong Hongfei’s father, the Governor of Taiwu Pavilion, Sikong Deping!

With Sikong Deping’s status, he wasn’t eligible to ride in an eight-tier Yunluan.

But he also had a powerful father.

Elder of Green Cloud Palace, an Entry Tao grand cultivator, Sikong Changming!

Undoubtedly, this carriage and these knights and cultivators were all orchestrated by Sikong Changming.

Intended to rescue his grandson.

“Do you dare deny it?”

The middle-aged cultivator roared in anger, “Is my son Sikong Hongfei not abducted by you?”

“Governor Changming has misunderstood.”

Wang Chen smiled, “Young brother Hongfei is indeed here, but he is merely a guest.”

Clap, clap!

Wang Chen clapped his hands, and Gao Zhuang appeared behind him with Sikong Hongfei.

Strictly speaking, it was more of a “hostage situation” as the War Saber in Gao Zhuang’s hand rested against Sikong Hongfei’s neck.

The spoiled young man wore a pitiful expression; his normally handsome face was half-swollen as if stung by a bee, looking quite ridiculous.

“Dad, dad!”

Seeing Sikong Changming a hundred steps away, Sikong Hongfei immediately felt like he had grasped a lifeline and yelled, “Save me quickly!”

But in his excitement, his neck made intimate contact with the blade’s edge.

Instantly his skin broke and bled.

“How bold!”

Sikong Changming’s eyes nearly burst with rage. “Wang Chen, if you don’t want to die, release my son immediately!”

“That’s simple.”

Wang Chen smiled and said, “Just let Governor Changming deliver Mo Han and the Mo Family members over here, and I will immediately release Brother Hongfei.”

“You’re dreaming!”

Sikong Changming put away his furious expression and said disdainfully, “Mo Han has violated the alliance’s rules and must be severely punished without leniency; the Mo Family has caused trouble in the area and must also accept punishment.”

“Wang Chen, I advise you to think carefully about returning to the right path, and not foolishly resist to the bitter end. If you release Hongfei, I will give you a chance to defend yourself in front of the elders, otherwise…”

He had not finished speaking when Wang Chen made a slashing gesture with his hand.

Gao Zhuang, standing behind him, did not hesitate to swing his War Saber and precisely chopped off Sikong Hongfei’s left little finger.

“Ah!”

Sikong Hongfei, caught off guard and in severe pain, couldn’t help letting out a piercing scream.

Just like he lost a father!

Sikong Changming almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

Cultivators do not easily have children, and Sikong Hongfei was his only son, spoiled by the family until he became a wastrel.

Despite his frustration with this good-for-nothing son, Sikong Hongfei’s place in Sikong Changming’s heart was unshakable.

He hadn’t expected Wang Chen to be so ruthless and cold-hearted as to chop off one of Sikong Hongfei’s fingers right in front of him.

That was also a resounding slap on Sikong Changming’s face!

“Pass my decree!”

Sikong Changming roared furiously, “The Mo Family members, draw lots and kill one in ten; cut off Mo Han’s left arm as a punishment. Execute immediately!”

He could not tolerate being threatened by Wang Chen, so he chose even more brutal measures to intimidate him.

Wang Chen’s response was to make another finger-chopping gesture.

“Ah!”

Sikong Hongfei’s left hand fell to the ground at the wrist.

Trying to outdo me?

Wang Chen was not afraid.

Although his aim in threatening Sikong Changming with Sikong Hongfei was to save people, he would absolutely not be threatened in return.

Even if Sikong Changming killed all the Mo Family members, Wang Chen would not bow to him!

Sikong Changming’s eyes twitched, and he was infuriated to the extreme but helpless.

He realized that the only way to save his son was to agree to Wang Chen’s terms.

And the longer the delay, the less likely Sikong Hongfei’s severed hand would be successfully reattached!

“You’re ruthless!”

Sikong Changming said in a menacing tone, “Fine, I’ll send Mo Han and the Mo Family members over right now, but save Hongfei first.”

“That’s simple.”

Wang Chen stood up, picked up Sikong Hongfei’s blood-soaked severed hand, and then reattached it to his wrist.

A faint white light flashed, and the hand was miraculously reattached!

Seeing this, Sikong Changming felt a chill in his heart.

The method Wang Chen had just used was truly miraculous, something that not even he could achieve, let alone Sikong Changming himself!

Wang Chen’s power was truly terrifying.

Sikong Changming suddenly realized that choosing to make an enemy of Wang Chen was possibly a huge mistake!
