Chapter 510: Chapter 252: Snowy Battle of Yin and Yang

The street suddenly fell silent as all eyes turned to Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng had always been a private person who kept to himself. Though hailed as the foremost Martial Artist of Linji City’s younger generation, a name everyone knew, few had actually seen him in person.

However, the discerning could put two and two together from his handsome features and the dark uniform of a Vice Director of the Demon Suppression Department.

The man before them was clearly that legendary figure—the one who had burst onto the scene, earning the admiration of countless young talents in Linji City.

The newly promoted Vice Director of the Demon Suppression Department—Chen Cheng, Lord Chen.

Perhaps only a figure of such astonishing talent could cause the two Fairies from the Sutra of Ultimate Immortal Realm to stop in their tracks.

At this moment, Su Qiluo and Su Nishang were also gazing at Chen Cheng, a hint of surprise in their beautiful eyes.

Ever since their arrival in Linji City, the rumors they heard most often were about Chen Cheng.

His Martial Arts Talent was exceptional, and in just two or three short years, he had completely eclipsed the younger generation of Martial Dao Celestial Prides in Linji City.

If Chen Cheng had been a scion of one of the Four Great Clans of the Inner City, this would have been understandable.

The world had countless Martial Dao geniuses, and a Prefecture City like Linji, with a population of over a million, was bound to produce one or two prodigies with exceptional Martial Arts Talent.

With the resources at their command, the Four Great Clans of the Inner City could certainly cultivate one or two such figures.

But Chen Cheng’s background was what truly shocked them.

He came from a Humble Family, starting as a mere Prison Guard, then becoming a constable for the City Guard Department, a Chief Constable, a Purple-clothed Guard of the Demon Suppression Department, and now, the Vice Director of the Demon Suppression Department.

Chen Cheng’s rise had been meteoric. Such a rapid ascent through the ranks was exceedingly rare, even within the entire Great Yu.

This was clearly not an achievement someone from a Humble Family could manage on their own.

It would have been understandable if Chen Cheng’s success was due to the patronage of the Shen Family, one of the Four Great Clans of the Inner City.

Chen Cheng had indeed been looked after by the Shen Family. His rise to prominence began after Shen Qingshuang of the Shen Family discovered him during his time as a constable for the City Guard Department.

But clearly, there was more to it than him simply being a protégé of the Shen Family.

If he had been groomed by the Shen Family, then as their subordinate, even marrying the two sisters, Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang, would have only made him a matrilocal husband.

In reality, while Chen Cheng was now closely related to the Shen Family by marriage, he was no longer their subordinate.

Even the sisters Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang—the great hope of the Shen Family’s younger generation, hailed as the peerless belles of Linji City—had simply married into the Chen Family in a conventional manner.

To have achieved all this only highlighted how extraordinary Chen Cheng truly was.

Chen Cheng reported for duty at the Demon Suppression Department every day, so his movements were no secret.

That was why Su Qiluo and Su Nishang had specifically chosen this time to walk along Pearl Jade Avenue, a street Chen Cheng was sure to take, all to orchestrate a "chance" encounter.

As True Inheritors of the Sutra of Ultimate Sect, Su Qiluo and Su Nishang naturally had exceptionally high standards.

Forget a Prefecture City like Linji; even in Su State City, home to the Great Dao Sect, it was rare for any young genius to be worthy of their notice.

Su Qiluo and Su Nishang had already held a very high opinion of Chen Cheng, but now, seeing him in person and standing face-to-face, they discovered a startling fact.

Chen Cheng’s astounding talent seemed to far exceed even their lofty expectations.

The Chen Cheng before them was handsome, with a tall, powerful build. His Qi Blood Power was immeasurably deep, yet as placid as a calm sea, and his entire demeanor was one of profound composure.

Merely by standing there, he gave off an unfathomable aura, like a vast ocean or a bottomless abyss.

It should be known that as Su Qiluo and Su Nishang strolled along, seemingly just admiring the snow, they had in fact been covertly channeling their Extreme Yin Realm and Extreme Yang Realm.

The combination of the Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang Realms allowed them to faintly wield a fraction of their Yin Yang Realm’s Power.

It enveloped a radius of several hundred zhang around them, altering the very Yin Yang Origin Aura within that space.

Almost anyone who saw them would involuntarily be filled with feelings of adoration.

Furthermore, they were Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm Martial Artists. By flaring even a tiny amount of their Qi Blood Power, they could project an aura that made them seem lofty, sacred, and inviolable.

Those who drew near, intending to strike up a conversation, were instead overcome by a sense of their own unworthiness.

Yet now, Chen Cheng stood face-to-face with them, only two or three zhang away, and remained completely unaffected.

Even when they secretly amplified their Yin Yang Realm’s Power while simultaneously unleashing the formidable aura of Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm Martial Artists, they could not get a single reaction out of him.

The rumors didn’t do him justice. With a single glance, Su Qiluo and Su Nishang confirmed that Chen Cheng’s fame was well-earned.

Young Master Jiang Lang of the Jiang Family, whom they had met earlier, couldn’t even be mentioned in the same breath as Chen Cheng.

Even the other True Disciples of Major Sects they had encountered paled in comparison to him.

"I am Su Nishang. A pleasure to meet you, Young Master Chen."

Su Nishang’s gaze swept over Chen Cheng’s handsome face before a blush rose on her jade-like skin. As if overcome with shyness, she offered him a graceful curtsy.

Beside her, Su Qiluo was also sizing Chen Cheng up, her eyes filled with a look of lingering affection.

Chen Cheng was quite surprised himself to suddenly run into the legendary Yin Yang Twins of the Sutra of Ultimate Sect, Su Qiluo and Su Nishang.

’These two are no simple characters,’ Chen Cheng thought. ’Although they’re only ranked twenty-fifth on the Earth List, they’re seventh on the Rouge Ranking.’

’Within the Sutra of Ultimate Sect, they’re second only to the leading True Disciple, Xuan Ji Fairy Yu Linglong.’

’Xuan Ji Fairy Yu Linglong is already thirty, while Su Qiluo and Su Nishang are only twenty-six. With their talent, they’re bound to be the next leaders among the Sect’s True Inheritors.’

Chen Cheng calmly scrutinized the two women before him. His gaze lingered on Su Qiluo’s neck in particular, checking to see if she had an Adam’s apple.
