Chapter 398: Chapter 204: Bloody Demon Slaying Order! Another Buff

[Detected: Yun Conglong has mentally collapsed in utter terror. +100,000 retribution points!]

[You have grievously wounded an aging Dharma Aspect, reaping immense satisfaction. +300,000 retribution points!]

[Detected: A group of the Lan family’s masters have mentally collapsed. +500,000 retribution points!]

Lines of text flashed into view one after another.

Satisfying!

Incredibly satisfying.

Chen Xuan let out a soft breath.

’You wanna talk tough?’

Chen Xuan had never met anyone who talked tough to his face and lived to tell the tale.

’I don’t dare kill you?’

I’ll just beat you senseless!

"Spare me! I beg you, spare me! I was wrong! I was incited by someone else! A man of your stature shouldn’t trouble himself with a nobody like me! Please, give me a chance..."

Yun Conglong, held fast in Chen Xuan’s grasp, let out a terrified wail.

All of his previous schemes had vanished.

So had all of his confidence.

At this moment, he just wanted to live.

A smile touched Chen Xuan’s face, but he completely ignored him.

’After I’ve beaten you this badly?’

’You still expect me to spare you?’

’What a joke.’

Dragging Yun Conglong, he walked toward the Lan family’s old ancestor.

"COUGH, COUGH..."

Half of the Lan family’s old ancestor’s body was shattered. His internal organs were clearly visible amidst the gore. Blood gushed out, staining the ground a deep crimson. He was in absolute agony.

’How did it come to this?’

His mind still couldn’t quite process it.

’Have I really gotten that old?’

’To have half my body shattered by a mere Outer Saint Level master...’

An intense, bone-chilling fear washed over him in endless waves.

At the same time, he could feel an invisible wave of heat spreading across the entire street.

’That young man is coming...’

With great effort, the Lan family’s old ancestor turned toward the sound of footsteps. At last, he saw Chen Xuan’s figure once more.

He was clad in a black robe, his frame powerful and imposing.

Upon his fair face, his eyes were like a bottomless abyss, with golden flames burning in their depths...

His robes billowed in the wind, snapping like a war banner...

’This is the one...’

’Who destroyed my body in a single strike?’

"Young man... who in the world are you?"

The Lan family’s old ancestor asked with great difficulty.

"Does it matter?"

Chen Xuan’s voice was calm. "I killed those two young masters of the Lan family because they tried to kill me first. It was an eye for an eye. Now you’re trying to kill me, so I have no choice but to do the same and kill all of you!"

A furious flame suddenly blazed in the Lan family’s old ancestor’s ancient eyes. The remaining half of his body trembled violently as a searing, crimson light erupted from within him, shooting toward the sky.

"Even if the Lan family is wiped out, I won’t let you off easy!"

"Demon Slaying Order!"

BOOM!

His entire life essence began to combust, transforming into a scarlet light that converged high in the sky.

Chen Xuan’s brow furrowed. Without a moment’s hesitation, he threw a punch.

CRACK!

He shattered the Lan family’s old ancestor’s head.

[...+400,000 retribution points]

But even so, the thick, searing crimson light continued to surge skyward. It carried a strange, eerie aura—bloody, dark, and cold—as it writhed high above...

"This is bad! It’s the Demon Slaying Order!"

"The Hundred-Day Demon Slaying Order! We’re finished!"

The monk and the Daoist priest behind him both looked startled.

But they quickly relaxed again.

’Finished? Bullshit!’

’With this kid’s freakish power...’

’So what if he has a Demon Slaying Order hanging over his head?’

’Who would dare try to slay this ’demon’?’

’Whoever comes, dies. It’s as simple as that!’

’They’d just be lining up for the slaughter!’

While Chen Xuan stood stunned for a moment, all the crimson light in the sky rapidly converged. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a strange, sinister, scarlet symbol that glowed with a blinding light. Vaguely, one could see it was the giant character for ’Demon’.

It shot down in an instant and hovered automatically above Chen Xuan’s head.

It bathed the entire area in a crimson, sinister, and eerie glow, darkening the atmosphere.

This made Chen Xuan, who already looked like a Demon King, seem even more the part.

The crimson light, combined with the golden flames and purple lightning...

...made for a sight as demonic and sinister as one could possibly imagine.

’Well, great.’

’They’ve even given me a dramatic backdrop!’

’Well, I’ll be damned!’

All Chen Xuan could think was, ’Well, I’ll be damned!’

At first, he thought it was some kind of sinister curse—not that he would have been afraid. He had the Innate Tyrant Body, which allowed for infinite recovery, and the Level 2 Indestructible Fist Intent, which let him ignore all damage to his Spirit. No curse could possibly affect him.

But this thing wasn’t a curse at all.

It was more like a contract.

The moment it shot toward him, a flood of information poured into Chen Xuan’s mind, giving him a complete understanding of what it was.

Its full name was the Hundred-Day Demon Slaying Order!

With this thing hanging over his head, he was effectively marked.

Anyone who killed him within one hundred days would receive a reward from the Demon Slaying Order: it would transform into a Demon Slaying Pill. Consuming it would raise one’s Cultivation by an entire realm!

However, if he could survive for a hundred days without being killed, he would also be able to ignore all barriers and instantly advance a realm.

But there was a catch.

This thing only worked on masters at the Dharma Aspect realm and below.

In other words, if some Grotto Heaven expert were to show up and swat Chen Xuan dead, they would get absolutely nothing for their trouble.

So, the only people it could attract were basically Outer Saints and Dharma Aspects...

This thing was as conspicuous as a firefly in the dead of night.

But was Chen Xuan afraid?

Afraid my ass.

’What Cave Heaven Realm master would be bored enough to come and swat me dead?’

’So, the only ones who would make a move on me would definitely still be Outer Saints and Dharma Aspects.’

’And if Outer Saints and Dharma Aspects dared to come, it was far from certain who would be killing whom.’

So, not only was Chen Xuan unafraid, he actually broke into a smile.

’Oh, old ancestor of the Lan family... you could have just died, but instead, you left me such a pleasant surprise?’

’If you had just self-destructed, you might have at least been able to injure me a little, right?’
