Chapter 413: Chapter 207: The Battle Record Spreads! A Sensation in All Directions

"Incredible! Just incredible!"

...

Of course.

The most dumbfounded of all was the Celestial Secret Pavilion.

When countless Spirit Doves descended from the sky and landed in the Celestial Secret Pavilion, the elders there were initially suspicious, wondering what was going on.

’Chen Xuan is already fourth on the Heavenly Rankings. He can’t possibly be climbing higher, can he?’

’If he did, wouldn’t that put him in the top three?’

’Did he kill Chu Shanhe?’

The group of elders quickly untied the letters from the Spirit Doves’ legs, their eyes scanning the contents.

One look was all it took for their scalps to tingle and their minds to go blank with a sudden BUZZ.

"Chen Xuan went on a rampage at the Dark Crossing and was marked by a blood-red Demon Slaying Order. He attracted countless masters and single-handedly annihilated dozens of Outer Saints, forcing three Dharma Aspects from the Dark World to retreat in disgrace. With his power alone, he stunned all who witnessed it!"

"Killed dozens of Outer Saints? *Dozens* of them?"

"..."

The group of old-timers looked on blankly, once again falling into a deep, soul-searching doubt about the nature of reality.

It took a long time for them to process it.

Horror dawned on their faces.

"Chen Xuan went to the Dark Crossing? And he got marked by a Demon Slaying Order?"

"How are we supposed to rank this?"

"Rank it? My ass! We never rank events from the Dark Crossing!"

"Right. This is just intel. We’ll just add it to Chen Xuan’s profile! There’s no need to rank it!"

"True... but this Chen Xuan is just too terrifying. Do you think he could beat Chu Shanhe now?"

"Who knows?"

The old-timers were inexplicably shaken to their core.

It seemed like every few days, Chen Xuan gave them another massive shock.

Who knew how much more absurd the next news about Chen Xuan would be?

...

「Martial Alliance Headquarters」

The sky was a blanket of crimson, thick with the stench of blood, casting a red glow for miles around.

It was like a thick layer of blood-red clouds.

Amid the bloody miasma, a gigantic, crimson character for "Demon" stood tall and imposing.

Its red was dazzling and eerie, looking as if it were about to drip blood.

All the Martial Alliance Elders and disciples, their faces masks of shock and horror, gathered together, pointing at the crimson "Demon" character in the sky.

They were almost all completely dumbfounded.

None of them had any idea what was happening.

"What’s going on? What the hell is happening?"

"I don’t know! Why did a blood-red character for ’Demon’ suddenly appear over the Martial Alliance?"

"What a strange character. Just looking at it makes my heart pound. It’s like staring into a sea of blood!"

"Keep it down! That character seems to be coming from Elder Chen’s courtyard..."

"From Elder Chen’s courtyard?"

The elders and disciples were even more shocked, finding it utterly unbelievable.

Old Deng immediately flew toward Chen Xuan’s residence, his expression one of alarm, the hair on his arms standing on end.

’Don’t tell me the unlucky bastard who got marked by the Demon Slaying Order was actually Chen Xuan?’

’This is too damn ridiculous!’

"Chen Xuan! It really is you!"

Old Deng landed in the courtyard and stared at Chen Xuan in shock.

There was Chen Xuan, standing in the courtyard... grilling skewers.

Above his head, a giant, blood-red character for "Demon" flickered ominously.

"Oh, Old Deng, you’re here. Quick, come try out my new recipe."

Chen Xuan turned his head and smiled.

"Wait, Chen Xuan, you... How did you get back with that massive Demon Slaying Order hanging over your head?"

Old Deng asked, his face a picture of horror, "Didn’t anyone attack you?"

He suddenly realized something. "Oh, right, you had Chu Shanhe. But even he couldn’t possibly have protected you completely, right? That Demon Slaying Order is enough to make any master go crazy!"

No matter how strong Chu Shanhe is, how many people could he possibly fend off?

’Was their journey back really that uneventful?’

"Yeah, it did make a lot of people go crazy. But you just have to kill them all, right?"

Chen Xuan said nonchalantly.

"Killed them all?"

Old Deng was speechless. "How many could you possibly kill? The masters who came after you would have been endless. There’s always a point where you can’t kill them all. What if a hundred Outer Saints showed up at once? What would you do then?"

"What would I do? I’d kill them one by one."

Chen Xuan said calmly, "I just dealt with over seventy Outer Saints. It’s a shame I couldn’t make it an even hundred. The rest all fled."

"See? There’s always a point where you can’t kill... wait, what?"

Old Deng’s expression froze. He almost couldn’t believe his ears as he whipped his head around to stare at Chen Xuan.

"What the hell did you just say? You killed over seventy Outer Saints?"

"That’s right. I also managed to severely injure three Dharma Aspects. It’s a shame they ran too fast for me to finish them off. Otherwise, my profile would look even more impressive."

Chen Xuan said.

BOOM!

Old Deng’s mind roared as if struck by lightning, buzzing and ringing.

He was completely stunned.

’Killed over seventy Outer Saints?’

’And severely injured three Dharma Aspects on top of that?’

’Since when were Outer Saints so cheap?’

’Then what does that make me?’

"Alright, Old Deng, try my new recipe!"

Chen Xuan picked up a lamb skewer, smiled, and handed it to Old Deng.

Old Deng took it almost subconsciously, numbly bringing it to his mouth...

"Oh, right. Do you recognize this?"

Chen Xuan gave a sly grin and, as if showing off, took out a vibrant green leaf, waving it in front of Old Deng’s eyes.

Old Deng paused for a second, not paying it much mind.

But Chen Xuan waved it in front of him again.

Old Deng looked at it quizzically. "?? What is this?"

"Fine, it’s okay if you don’t recognize it."

With a sigh, Chen Xuan placed it in Old Deng’s hand. "Just take it. It’s for... virility."

"For virility?"

Old Deng looked surprised and began to inspect it closely.

"Yep. Take it home, brew it in hot water, and drink the tea. After that, eat the leaf. Remember, you have to eat the leaf, or it won’t work."

Chen Xuan sent him on his way.

’Old Deng doesn’t know a treasure when he sees one.’

’It’s like casting pearls before swine.’

’He’ll find out what it is after he eats it.’

As for why Chen Xuan didn’t eat it himself...

It was because his retribution points were all used up again.

He had to save his best resources for when they mattered most. It wouldn’t be too late to eat it after he had accumulated more retribution points.

"Heh, alright. This is good stuff."

As soon as Old Deng heard it was for virility, a grin spread across his face. He held the leaf and walked back, chuckling to himself.

But soon, that feeling was once again replaced by boundless shock.

’So what on earth did Chen Xuan go through on this trip?’

’He took out over seventy Outer Saints?’

’I wouldn’t even fucking dare to dream of something like that...’

While the entire world was in an uproar.

「Two days later.」

Feng Wuji finally emerged from the darkness, a look of astonishment on his face. Along the way, he had heard countless rumors about Chen Xuan.

"Chen Xuan? With a Demon Slaying Order over his head? Turned into a three-hundred-meter-tall giant? Killed over a hundred Outer Saints? What kind of joke is this?"

’It must be someone with the same name, right?’

’The Chen Xuan I know from the outside world can’t turn into a three-hundred-meter-tall giant.’

He rushed eagerly toward the Martial Alliance, wanting to find out what was going on.

While he was there, he could also find Chen Xuan to finish their business from last time.

As he hurried on his way,

Finally!

Feng Wuji neared the Martial Alliance.

But just as he drew near, his expression changed, and he came to a halt.

"That’s..."

Straight ahead, over the Martial Alliance Headquarters, a thick, blood-red light filled the sky, so vibrant it looked as if it were dripping.

A gigantic character for "Demon" flickered ominously in the air.

"It really is him?"

Feng Wuji gasped, his expression flickering with disbelief.
