Chapter 1752 (Raw 1764): Mysterious Dragon Scale

Before the waves of Divine Might, few of those knocked back could get back on their feet after they landed.

Senior Ma, Senior Liu, the bamboo-hat bladesman, Leng Feng, Xiahou Feng, Huangpu Qi, and several elites of the Rank 5 Snow Sword Palace naturally could. After all, they were all peak experts that could rival Star Venerates or possessed the strength of a Star Venerate in the first place.

However, after Xiao Chen landed, he did not fall over.

Xiao Chen’s expression remained calm. No blood leaked out of his lips. With his entire skeleton already transformed into dragon bones, his defense rivaled that of a Star Venerate, possibly even stronger.

More importantly, that Faux God Flame’s Divine Might was mixed with a lot of Dragon Might. The damage to Xiao Chen from that was not as much as what the others received.

“Unexpectedly, the Faux God Flame still has such might despite being close to extinguishing.”

“It looks like it is guttering, but it probably won’t die out within a hundred years.”

“What should we do? This black-armored cultivator can actually use the power of the Faux God Flame. It will be somewhat difficult to kill him.”

Huangpu Qi and the others gathered together, discussing with grave expressions.

These people were all Star-Venerate-level experts, especially Huangpu Qi, who was a true inheritor of a Rank 5 sect.

In terms of strength and accumulations, Huangpu Qi had much more than Senior Ma and Senior Liu.

There was still the bamboo-hat bladesman, whose strength had not been revealed yet. So far, no one had figured him out, so he was equally scary.

That middle-stage Star Venerate, black-armored cultivator was no match for them when they worked together. After all, he did not know that many Martial Techniques, wield a Dao Tool, or have many killing moves and trump cards like the sect disciples did.

However, now that the middle-stage Star Venerate used the Faux God Flame’s power, he was somewhat difficult to deal with.

“Charge! I don’t believe that there are no side effects from his use of the Faux God Flame’s power.”

The strong Huangpu Qi snorted coldly and took the lead in charging over.

Senior Ma and the others were unwilling to fall behind. Fearing that Huangpu Qi would snatch the Faux God Flame ahead of them after the black-armored cultivator died, they quickly followed.

The cultivators who were knocked back and could not get up again were severely injured, no longer able to continue fighting.

These cultivators could only close their eyes and treat their injuries on the spot.

Now, Xiao Chen moved silently. He collected all of the black Blaze Crystals on the plaza that no one paid attention to.

More than one thousand precious black Blaze Crystals covertly entered Xiao Chen’s pockets.

At this moment, anyone who could still fight followed Huangpu Qi in attacking that black-armored cultivator.

Everyone wanted to snatch that Faux God Flame at the last moment.

Whoever could obtain the Faux God Flame would naturally climb to heaven in one step. That was a tremendous fortuitous encounter that could change anyone’s life.

No one could withstand the temptation of the Faux God Flame.

Right now, the injured had their eyes closed as they focused on recovering from their wounds. No one cared about Xiao Chen, who was moving around silently.

After collecting the one thousand-odd black Blaze Crystals, Xiao Chen revealed a smile. He looked around and, with a flash, arrived at a shadowy area.

Then, he took out a carving knife and concentrated on sculpting.

“Rage of the Dragon God!”

“Boom!” Divine Might surged from the Faux God Flame again.

Huangpu Qi and the others sustained another heavy blow that sent them flying back. This time, they were even more severely injured than before.

Everyone fell to the ground; no one was spared. Even the cultivators in the periphery who were treating their injuries got caught up in the shock wave.

“Pu ci!”

However, that black-armored cultivator was even more severely injured.

After using the Faux God Flame in the formation, that black-armored cultivator vomited large mouthfuls of blood, and his aura declined.

The black-armored cultivator continuously weakened at a visible rate.

“Indeed, he cannot keep using the power of the Faux God Flame. If he uses it again, he will die for sure!”

When Huangpu Qi saw this, he could not help rejoicing.

“This old man still has killing moves that I have not used yet. When my Veritable Essence Energy recovers, I will make my move!”

After a moment of silence, the bamboo-hat bladesman said, “Let’s go again. I won’t hold back this time.”

All those that could fight from the three factions gathered and discussed how to kill the black-armored cultivator.

After half a day, everyone regained their peak condition.

“Prepare to attack!”

The Snow Sword Palace’s Huangpu Qi stood up, and the sword in his hand flickered with a cold, crystalline light.

At this moment, Senior Ma and Senior Liu slowly stood up, their eyes shining with a brilliant light.

This time, everyone felt confident of killing the black-armored cultivator.

After that, they would discuss how to distribute the Faux God Flame.

“Ice Sealing Chop!”

Huangpu Qi showed a solemn expression, and his long hair fluttered about the place. Suddenly, eight linked strands of icy sword Qi appeared behind him. Then, his sword buzzed in the air, radiating sword intent in all directions.

Ice-attributed Great Dao Energy spilled all over from the Dao Tool he held before gathering back on the sword.

The eight strands of connected sword Qi formed a horrifying icy sword Qi seal pressing towards the black-armored cultivator.

In that instant, the entire plaza shook violently. Snow drifted down, and a chill spread out.

Huangpu Qi’s move forcefully brought out thirty percent of the Dao Tool’s might. Combining it with his own horrifying sword intent, he executed this Earth Grade Martial Technique that was derived from a Heaven Grade Martial Technique, something that was inferior to only a Primogenitor Grade Cultivation Technique. Using that, he perfectly fused his Ice Great Dao and his sword intent.

[TL Note: The Mystery Grade is no longer mentioned in the novel from now on. One possible explanation is that Mystery Grade just refers to Cultivation Techniques or Martial Techniques derived from the Primogenitor Grade. The Mystery Grade likely just means that there is a possibility of using it to reverse engineer and comprehend a Primogenitor Grade Cultivation Technique, and is not an indication of its strength relative to the Heaven Grade, Earth Grade, or Mortal Grade.]

This formed a terrifying seal that seemed to press directly on the black-armored cultivator.

Before the eight connected strands of sword Qi landed, that cold Qi already assaulted the black-armored cultivator’s entire body.

The black-armored cultivator’s body stiffened, and his movement slowed. He showed pain on his face as frost covered his lips.

The horror of this move was startling, sending a chill down Senior Ma’s and Senior Liu’s spines.

However, no one expected that the bamboo-hat bladesman, whose strength was well hidden, would closely follow up with an even-more-horrifying saber strike.

“Asura Hell!”

The bamboo-hat bladesman gently swung his saber, and it gave off a dull, black light.

An incredibly terrifying killing intent shot out of the bamboo-hat bladesman’s body—an extremely cold and emotionless killing intent.

Severing the seven emotions, cutting off the six desires, becoming an asura, and materializing hell in the mortal realm.

When the saber strike was sent out, it was like hell manifested in the mortal realm. The black saber light layered the space. This attack seemed like it was launched from the eighteen levels of hell.

The saber strike overlapped the mortal realm with hell, making a tyrannical display of controlling hell, controlling life and death.

“Rumble...!”

This saber strike covered all the ice encasing the plaza. The entire Dragon Race plaza shook even more intensely; small, scary cracks appeared.

“What...Saber Technique is this?!”

Huangpu Qi got somewhat distracted by this. He did not dare to imagine that this bamboo-hat bladesman was the one who sent out this saber strike.

Miserable shrieks rang out, and the saber strike that was launched later chopped down on the black-armored cultivator.

The black armor shattered into pieces, completely destroyed.

Cracks appeared in the black-armored cultivator’s robust skin. Black blood leaked out as he screamed.

“Seal!”

Huangpu Qi recovered his wits and pulled back his sword. The eight connected sword Qi containing the Ice Great Dao pressed down heavily.

The icy sword Qi continuously strangled the black-armored cultivator and completely sealed him at the same time.

“Kill!”

Just at this moment, Senior Ma, Senior Liu, Leng Feng, Xiahou Feng, and the Snow Sword Palace’s elite disciples all launched their killing moves as well.

The black-armored cultivator, who just struggled free from the eight strands of sword Qi, did not have any time to retaliate before getting pushed back heavily.

He staggered as black blood spewed out of his body.

Finally, the black-armored cultivator fell to his knees and smiled eerily at the ground. “The Dragon God will arrive soon. All of you will suffer the Dragon God’s rage!”

“Acting all mysterious. There are no longer any God Demons. Speak, where did you come from?!”

Standing outside the blood formation, Huangpu Qi swung his sword around, sending the black-armored cultivator, who was at the end of his rope, flying and crashing into the Azure Dragon Totem.

The black-armored cultivator seemed to go crazy. After he got up, he suddenly fled, shouting nonstop, “The Dragon God will arrive soon! The Dragon God will arrive soon!”

“After him! He is running away!”

When the black-armored cultivator fled, the others’ expressions immediately changed. This black-armored cultivator could control the Faux God Flame. There had to be some secrets on his body.

“Ka ca!”

However, before the black-armored cultivator in the distance could escape, his head suddenly flew off.

The black-armored cultivator’s body turned into black flames and burned up.

After a while, something black fell from the air.

Xiao Chen sheathed his saber and reached out to grab this item. “Dragon scale?”

That was a piece of black dragon scale. It was extremely heavy and gave off an ancient aura.

“It’s you!”

Upon seeing Xiao Chen suddenly charge out and obtain the mysterious item, Huangpu Qi and the others rushed over in a fluster.

Anyone could guess that this item definitely had something to do with the Faux God Flame.

“Xiao Chen, hand it to me.”

After being stunned for a while, Senior Ma revealed joy on his face. Xiao Chen was someone from his team.

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows and asked playfully, “Why should I hand it to you? Because you cheated me of one million Medial Grade Spirit Jades or to repay you for threatening me in secret earlier, wanting my precious treasures?”

Senior Ma felt stifled. He could not help shaking in anger as he pointed at Xiao Chen and said, “Even if you do not want to hand it over, you have to.”
