nAs long as Xia Qingchen continued to challenge them, there’d come a point where he wouldn’t be able to defeat them.

n“Alright!” Xia Qingchen smiled.

nSeeing that Xia Qingchen fell into his scheme, Zhao Tianfei’s countenance looked better. He said, “To be fair, you can rest for a while after each challenge. This will allow you to replenish your inner force and stamina.”

nHowever, Xia Qingchen waved his hand, as if he didn’t care for that. “I don’t think I need to rest to deal with you guys. I should be able to go through everything at once!”

nHis domineering tone earned him endless applause!

n“He’s the first person who dares to speak so arrogantly in front of the Ten Devils!”

nXia Qingchen looked toward the person ranked ninth amongst the Ten Devils, saying, “Let’s decide on you.”

n“In case you don’t know who you lost to, let me introduce myself. I’m…” The ninth Devil smiled and said.

nHowever, Xia Qingchen interrupted him, “There’s no need for introductions. You’ll be losing anyway!”

nPa——

nThe ninth Devil closed his fan and wore a vicious expression. “The people who dared to speak to me like this have all been killed by me! Take my attack!” He came charging forth, shooting out steel needles from the fan in his hand.

nXia Qingchen performed a tap across space. “Nine Plum Blossoms Bloomed!”

nThe other party had his guard up, putting up a block with his fan. “Hmph, insignificant trick!”

nHowever, after Xia Qingchen performed the first move, he smoothly continued to perform the second move.

n“Windsnow Flow!”

nSeveral streams of inner force vortexes swept out in unpredictable trajectories.

nThe ninth Devil was unable to fend off the attacks and was struck in the back. As a ‘pfft’ sound rang out, he was struck down to the ground, appearing to be in a sorry plight.

nXia Qingchen smiled. “I told you. You’ll be the one to lose anyway.”

nWith that, he took the third piece of leaf.

nThen, without even raising his head. “Eighth Devil!”

nThe eighth Devil wasn’t that much stronger than the ninth, so the results were predictable.

n“Seventh Devil!”

n“Sixth Devil!”

n“Fifth Devil!”

nAs Xia Qingchen defeated his opponents in succession, the cheers from the spectators roared out.

n“When was there such an amazing person amongst us bandits?”

n“That’s right. It’s unbelievable. Since he is so amazing, why didn’t he show it in the past?”

nXia Qingchen took in what everyone said and thought that it was about time for him to leave.

n“Alright, that’s it. I’ll leave some Yunluo Sacred Leaves for you Ten Devils to have a taste!” He sounded as if he was taking pity on them.

nThe six Devils who had been defeated in his hands were enraged, but there was nothing they could say.

n“Hmph! Thinking of leaving before getting through everyone?” Zhao Tianfei shot up from the chair. His gaze filled with vicious gleams.

nHow could he possibly tolerate Xia Qingchen after he took down the Ten Devils in succession?

n“You?” Xia Qingchen threw a glance at him.

nThis was the person who had spoken arrogantly earlier, saying that everyone in the martial pavilions were good-for-nothings.

n“Forget it. I’ll save some face for you guys, in case you lose too badly,” Xia Qingchen said calmly and then turned to leave.

nPa——

nZhao Tianfei grabbed out with one hand, lifting the chair behind him and sending it smashing toward Xia Qingchen.

nWithout any hesitation, Xia Qingchen turned and kicked out, shattering the chair.

nZhao Tianfei charged over rapidly amidst the shattered fragments.

nHe fully displayed his strength at the third fold-level of the medium constellation stage. His powerful palms struck out toward Xia Qingchen’s chest.

nHis inner forces were like sewing needles, gathered in his palms.

nThis was an extremely vicious martial skill. Once the opponent was hit, in lighter cases, their martial meridians would be hurt, and their cultivation would be crippled. In more serious cases, they’d be killed on the spot!

nXia Qingchen’s gaze turned cold. Without any hesitation, he retaliated with Nine Dragons In the Sky.

nNine inner force vortexes sealed off the four main directions around him—his left, right, up, and down. Zhao Tianfei was unable to dodge and could only attack head-on.

nBoom boom boom——

nAmidst nine consecutive streams of astonishing explosions, Zhao Tianfei’s right palm and left arm had turned into a bloody state.

n“Ahh! My hands!” Not only did Zhao Tianfei not back off, but his vicious character as a bandit had even been stimulated. “I’m going to kill you!”

nHe drew out the crossbow at his waist. There were ten poison needles on it.

nAfter the needles were shot out, they sealed up all of Xia Qingchen’s movement area.

nThe results would be easily predicted once Xia Qingchen was hit.

nXia Qingchen let out a cold snort, lashing his sleeve to send out all of the golden thread, then flicking his finger consecutively.

nThe golden thread moved around like a long snake, accurately lashing out at the poison needles, sending them flying back in a scattered manner.

nPffft pffft pffft——

nThree of the needles struck Zhao Tianfei. The venom entered his body, causing him to cry out in agony. He pounced forth even more crazily. “Brothers! Kill him!”

nOther than the ones who had been defeated by Xia Qingchen and were unable to move, all the other members of the six Devils attacked.

nXia Qingchen wasn’t surprised at all.

nThis was the true nature of bandits!

nExpecting them to play fair?

nHaha!

n“Fire Phoenix Illuminates the Sky!” Xia Qingchen was undaunted and charged on fiercely like a wolf pouncing into a flock of sheep!

n“Barbaric Elephant Gallops in the Wild!”

n“Nine Dragons In the Sky!”

nXia Qingchen had held back in the sparrings earlier.

nBut now!

nAll his attacks were out to kill!

nAfter three moves, no one was able to stand up anymore.

nAll seven Devils died horrible deaths!

nXia Qingchen flicked off the blood on his sleeves, wearing a calm gaze. “Can’t even stand up to a fight! The Ten Devils aren’t anything special!” After saying that, he took away all of the Yunluo Sacred Leaves and turned to leave.

nThe other bandits who were watching were first stunned and then immediately went up to check. It was only then did they realize that all of the Devils were killed without any exceptions!

nSeven of the Ten Devils were killed. This was a serious matter that would affect their group from the root!

n“Stop right there!” Someone stopped Xia Qingchen. “Which ship are you from?”

nThe bandits were assigned to different ships in the order of their assigned number.

nThey had started to have serious doubts over Xia Qingchen’s identity.

nXia Qingchen turned and smiled. “Me? I came on a canoe.”

nA canoe?

n“Capture him!” Everyone finally realized that Xia Qingchen might not be one of them.

nThis astonished and infuriated them!

nTo think that an outsider would dare to disguise as one of them, openly running over to their hideout!

nPutting aside the fact that he was so bold as to fight for the Yunluo Sacred Leaves, he even dared to kill the seven Devils under everyone’s eyes!

nThis was challenging them openly, making light of them bandits!

nThere had only been cases of them bandits humiliating others. When had anyone come to their doors to attack them?

n“A bunch of unruly mobs!” Xia Qingchen smirked and performed the Cloudlight Nature Sound.

nHe moved quickly at a speed of 40 feet per step taken, elusively throwing off everyone and leaving the mountain.

nWuuu——

nIt hadn’t been long after he got off the mountain when a resounding horn signal rang out from the mountains.

nThe bandits’ ships that were docked around the island had received the signal. They prepared to surround Xia Qingchen and attack him.

nXia Qingchen raised his head and looked up at the sky, mumbling, “It should be about time!”

nSince he came all the way to visit the bandits’ hideout, there was no way that he’d just leave after taking a few leaves and killing a few small bandits.

nRumble——

nDeafening rumbles rang out, like erupting thunders.

nThe ten huge bandits’ ships that were docked on the pier exploded into pieces at the same time.

nFire soared into the sky, with thick smoke seething. All the bandits cried out in agony.

nXia Qingchen had found several hundred jins of explosives on the ship he had taken captive of earlier.

nBefore he got onto the island, he had put several tens or even up to 100 jins of explosives on every ship and prepared a small setup where they would go off after a certain period.

nXia Qingchen boarded his small boat calmly.

nAt this moment, huge fireballs splattered onto the island from the inflamed huge ships, igniting the dense forest!

nIn an instant, the island was surrounded by intense flames that kept on extending out toward the mountain.

n
