Chapter 687: Chapter 269: Yi Family Ancestor Obtains Broken Blade Fiend

"Black Dragon Emerges from the Water, bind!"

The Yi Family Ancestor had already formed a Spell with his hands.

Now, with a point of his finger, eighty-one Water Dragon Rolls rose from the sea, forming a sturdy cage on the spot.

’Huh?’

’Something’s not right.’

Xiao Chen wasn’t too flustered. After all, he had already faced three Nascent Soul True Monarchs blocking his way outside Celestial Star Island.

But the crucial question was, why?

He was confused. ’Ever since I arrived at the Compassion Sea, I’ve never offended the Yi Family!’

It didn’t make sense. Even when there was a warrant for his arrest before, at least he knew the reason why.

But this time, Xiao Chen was completely in the dark. ’A dignified Nascent Soul True Monarch couldn’t possibly be making a personal appearance just to stick up for Wang Qianghu, right?’

’That... shouldn’t be it, right?’

"Elder Yi, I’ll show you the respect of an elder for now."

Unable to figure it out, Xiao Chen decided to try and fish for information. "There’s no old grudge or recent animosity between us. What is the meaning of your attack today?"

However, the Yi Family Ancestor turned a deaf ear to his words.

’Who would bother explaining things to their medicinal ingredients? It would just be a waste of breath.’

Instead, he extended his right hand, formed a sword with his fingers, and aimed at a point just below Xiao Chen’s abdomen from afar.

Immediately, an invisible Sword Qi shot out, slashing toward him in an attempt to sever his legs.

BOOM!

A loud bang echoed.

The Ghost-Faced Profound Light Shield rose just in time, its Spiritual Light flaring. Every inscription on it flickered in unison as it entered its Spirit Ascension Form.

It instantly formed a powerful Spiritual Barrier in front of Xiao Chen, taking the hit for him.

As a top-tier Golden Core Cultivator, he wasn’t some cannon fodder who could be killed off so easily.

"Old Dog Yi, you don’t even have a few years left to live, yet you’re still running around picking fights."

Since it had come to this, Xiao Chen didn’t hold back. "Your attacks are so soft and feeble. Are you already past your prime?"

These words directly hit the Yi Family Ancestor’s sore spot.

His Lifespan was already nearing its end, and this was his biggest taboo.

Provoked like this by a junior, he was instantly filled with uncontrollable rage. "Impudent brat, how dare you spout such nonsense!"

"Frost Flower Moon Burial Wheel!"

Instantly, eight Ice Wheels resembling full moons rose from all directions and shot toward the center.

"Bring it on!"

Xiao Chen, on the contrary, smiled. "Jade Platform Fire Lotus!"

His strength had recently improved, and he wanted to test just how big the gap still was between himself and a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

BOOM! BOOM! CRACK!

After three loud bangs, the Spiritual Barrier was finally shattered, and the Ghost-Faced Profound Light Shield was knocked back into Xiao Chen’s arms.

CRASH!

The Fire Lotus descended, only to be sliced to pieces by the five remaining Ice Wheels.

Fortunately, thanks to the buff from his Augment, the Jade Platform Fire Lotus had a full one hundred layers.

The stacked layers of lotus leaves consumed four of the Ice Wheels and wore the last one down until it was on the verge of crumbling.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen reached out and crushed it to dust with his hand.

"Old Dog Yi, I thought a Nascent Soul True Monarch like you would have some real power."

"But this is all you’ve got?"

"It’s enough to make me die laughing! Hahaha!"

Of course, Xiao Chen was just running his mouth.

His main goal was to taunt the Yi Family Ancestor and get under his skin.

In reality, Xiao Chen had already figured it out: he could only exchange a few simple blows with his opponent at his current level.

After all, his opponent was not only using a Tier Four Celestial Level Cultivation Technique but had also cultivated for many years, with more than one type of Magic having reached the Great Success Realm.

On top of that, there was the difference in True Essence strength that came from the gap in their Major Realms.

All these factors combined were enough to overwhelm the advantage his Augment provided.

Once the Yi Family Ancestor got serious, Xiao Chen currently had no way to actually win a straight fight.

’In that case, I’ll have to fall back on the old method: use Blade of Night to get away.’

"Unfortunately, time is tight today. I have important business to attend to, so I won’t play with you anymore. Farewell!"

Xiao Chen deliberately threw out one last line before leaving.

He then pretended to turn and deliberately fled due east, but in reality, he activated Condensed Fire Palm and struck himself with it.

Only after proactively triggering Blade of Night did he turn and dash due south.

The intense blaze of fire completely concealed his figure.

"Don’t you run, you brat!"

The Yi Family Ancestor hurriedly rushed forward to give chase, but all he saw were scattered sparks.

Since he had previously seen Xiao Chen use Fire Escape to travel, he didn’t suspect anything at first, just assuming his opponent had used some kind of Escape Secret Technique.

"Not good, what’s going on?"

The next moment, however, the Yi Family Ancestor felt his Spiritual Mark vanish, and his heart sank.

’It’s strange. I didn’t feel my mark being broken.’

’But I really can’t sense it anymore.’

This feeling was just like what happened when a family junior with a mark entered a Secret Realm or a Relic.

The fluctuations from the Spiritual Mark had been cut off by some kind of power!

’I absolutely cannot let him escape!’

The Yi Family Ancestor knew his actions couldn’t see the light of day. If he let Xiao Chen escape today and the boy spread the word, not only would the Yi Family’s reputation be ruined, but his goal of hunting Golden Core Cultivators would also become incredibly difficult.

He might even find himself attacked by a mob, all under the banner of Demon Extermination and Protection of the Dao.

Although Nascent Soul Cultivators generally don’t fight each other easily, under a righteous cause like this, there was no telling what a new power like the Chongzhen Temple might do.

Therefore, the Yi Family Ancestor didn’t have time to think and immediately set off in pursuit to the east.

"Wait!"

But then he suddenly stopped, a cold sneer appearing on his lips. "Hmph, you little brat. Trying to pull a feint on me."
