Chapter 1210: Who Is Trash?
Xiao Chen believed that the other party would choose to retreat in the face of difficulty, not seeking trouble where there was none in the first place . After all, with Old Man Feng having lived for so long already, Old Man Feng could not be unaware of the principles that he, a youth, knew .
However, if the other party still dared to continue, Xiao Chen would not hold back .
After arriving in this oceanic world, Xiao Chen had experienced great battles in every sea region he visited . Their cultivation grades did not differ by much, and he had never feared another before .
Old Man Feng shook his body, destroying the sand on it in the process . As he looked at Xiao Chen with the many dragons soaring behind him, rage blazed in his eyes .
Rationality told Old Man Feng that continuing to fight at this point would not lead to any good result .
However, he could not bear to be humiliated by a youth while in this circle .
“Green brat, you really do not know what is good for you . Today, I’ll show you the true strength of a half-step Martial Emperor,” Old Man Feng shouted angrily, and small tornadoes appeared behind him, each of them only the size of his fingers .
However, as the tornadoes spun around, small tears appeared in space . These tornadoes clustered together densely, making it seem like the space behind him would crumble and shatter .
“That’s enough . OId Man Feng, there’s no need for you to cause a ruckus here for no reason!”
Just at this moment, a cold snort resounded .
An old man sat cross-legged, nearly touching the stone stele, as close as he could possibly get . He looked very ordinary, not radiating any aura .
This white-robed old man was the one who spoke . The moment he opened his mouth, he immediately attracted the attention of countless people .
This reprimand startled Old Man Feng, who had been called out . He had not expected to attract the attention of this white-haired old man .
“He already proved that he has the strength to stand here . If you want to try and regain your face, do it after you enter the Human-Demon Paradise . If not, scram farther away . Don’t disturb the others here . ”
The white-haired old man’s tone was relatively aggressive and impolite . However, Old Man Feng, the target of the scolding, did not dare to rebut .
After glaring at Xiao Chen, Old Man Feng obediently withdrew his aura and stood at the side .
Xiao Chen stopped circulating his energy for the Thunder Dragon Steps and looked at the old man before the stone stele . He felt startled . He had not noticed this old man before this .
However, the moment this old man spoke, no one dared to say a word . Even the raging Old Man Feng did not say anything at being scolded .
Without great strength, this white-haired old man would definitely not have such influence .
The hidden talents of the Human-Demon Sea might be within this circle . Perhaps there might be more of such people like this white-haired old man concealed here . They might look ordinary with nothing extraordinary about them . However, in actual fact, they were incomparably strong .
Brother Xiao, this way!
A voice appeared in Xiao Chen’s ears . Dugu Ao had sent a voice projection to him . Xiao Chen looked over and nodded to indicate acknowledgment . Then, he went over with Ao Jiao .
In the small circle of the ten outstanding talents, Dugu Ao and the purple-haired girl stood together, separated from the others by a certain distance .
Seeing Xiao Chen and Ao Jiao heading for Dugu Ao, the other eight of the ten outstanding talents all revealed strange expressions .
This was because Dugu Ao possessed a fiery temper and a proud temperament . Aside from the purple-haired girl, he did not have many other friends that could get along with him in the same age group .
Aside from this, there was also one particular reason . Everyone knew that although Dugu Ao was a mixed-blood, he cultivated the Quintessence of the humans instead of the Death Qi or Demonic Qi of the Deep Abyss Demonic World’s Demon Races . It was like he had a pathological aversion to such Qi and did not have many friends because of it .
Even so, such a reclusive person seemed to know this white-robed person . Naturally, his familiarity incited the interest of others .
“Interesting . Unexpectedly, aside from Mu Xiyan, there is someone else who can make friends with Dugu Ao,” a handsome red-haired man who looked firm and resolute muttered .
This person was called Pei Yan . He was the top ranker of the ten outstanding talents and had defeated half-step Martial Emperors several times before .
As a mixed-blood between humans and Fire Demons, he possessed great comprehension ability regarding the will of fire as well as a unique understanding of it .
Seeing Xiao Chen and Ao Jiao walk over to Dugu Ao, Pei Yan started thinking to himself, Will these two additional people pose a variable in my plan?
“What’s wrong? It is just two more trash . You think that Dugu Ao can triumph over us?” a person at the side asked .
This person showed a frosty expression, appearing extremely arrogant, proud, and aloof .
Pei Yan smiled and said, “In your eyes, anyone who is not as strong as you are is trash . However, even if it was a dog, if you got bitten, it would still be problematic . Your mentality is unacceptable . ”
The two clearly stood out from the rest . They both gave off a strong aura, proclaiming their extraordinariness .
In fact, that was not wrong . This frosty-faced man was Han Feng, the second ranker of the ten outstanding talents, who was also known as the Cold-Blooded Swordsman . He was cold and emotionless, vicious and merciless .
Of the ten outstanding talents, the remaining six were led by Ye Ziheng and formed another group .
With Pei Yan, Dugu Ao, and Ye Ziheng as the leaders, the ten outstanding talents formed three circles . It appeared that they all had a common target .
Xiao Chen and Ao Jiao’s arrival disrupted some kind of balance, causing a commotion in this little circle .
“Hehe! Xiao Chen, right? This is the first time we are meeting . This little lady is Mu Xiyan . ”
Seeing Xiao Chen walk over, the purple-haired girl immediately stepped forward with a smile and introduced herself . Her coquettish glances were electrical, soul entrancing as she batted her eyelashes and tried her charms on him .
Ao Jiao frowned tightly before her little lips curled up, and she snorted with a cold expression .
After Mu Xiyan saw this, she smiled faintly, and the charm on her face intensified even further .
The Charm Technique of this girl evoked some of Xiao Chen’s memories, very distant memories . He wondered if he would ever meet that girl again .
After a moment’s distraction, Xiao Chen nodded politely and headed directly to Dugu Ao, relegating the other party to the side .
Mu Xiyan’s smile froze . What is this? He’s immediately ignoring my Charm Technique?
When Ao Jiao saw this, she smiled cockily at Mu Xiyan . Little Yellow Feather, who was on her shoulder, stamped its feet and showed an equally cocky expression .
This person and bird frustrated Mu Xiyan to the point of wanting to vomit blood—especially given Little Yellow Feather’s snarky appearance .
“This is very surprising . You are a human cultivator . How come you are interested in this Human-Demon Paradise?” Dugu Ao asked .
Xiao Chen retorted indifferently, “Actually, I wanted to say the same thing to you too . You also cultivate Quintessence . Why are you here to join the liveliness as well?”
Dugu Ao smiled and said, “I suddenly have a feeling that my target is the same as yours . ”
Xiao Chen suggested, “In that case, how about we write down our targets on our palms and reveal them at the same time, see whether they are the same?”
“Good . ”
The two raised their palms to their eyes, and words appeared out of nowhere on their palms . After writing those words, they clenched their palms into fists and extended them .
The two exchanged glances, then revealed their palms at the same time .
The words “mutated Flying Dragon Snake” flashed on Dugu Ao’s palm while the words “Flower of Life” flashed on Xiao Chen’s palm .
“It is indeed the same . ” The two smiled faintly and dispersed the words on their palms .
Standing upright with his hands clasped behind his back, Dugu Ao said, “Although we have the same target, our purposes are still somewhat different . I owe that woman a favor and need to help her obtain the mutated Flying Dragon Snake’s Dark Demonic Core . ”
When speaking of the favor that he owed Mu Xiyan, an uncomfortable expression clearly flashed across his face .
This made anyone who saw it curious about how exactly Dugu Ao ended up owing Mu Xiyan a favor . There had to be a thought-provoking story behind it .
However, Xiao Chen was not a gossipy person, so he did not ask about it . As for the cooperation that Dugu Ao suggested, Xiao Chen immediately agreed without needing much thought .
The reason was none other than having more strength with every additional person . The cooperation would provide more benefits than loss .
The Flower of Life was essential to Xiao Chen . It would not be much of an exaggeration to say that he could not advance to Martial Emperor without the Flower of Life . If there was any possibility that could increase his chances of obtaining the Flower of Life, he definitely would not pass it up .
Dugu Ao smiled faintly and revealed joy on his face . With Xiao Chen’s help, he was much more confident about this trip .
After settling the collaboration, Dugu Ao pointed to Ao Jiao, who was beside Xiao Chen, and asked, “Who is this? You still have not introduced her . Is she coming with us?”
Ao Jiao gave Dugu Ao a feeling of inscrutability . Furthermore, there was a sense of being apparently right but actually wrong . This made him doubt Ao Jiao’s strength, so he needed Xiao Chen to provide a definitive answer .
Hearing this question, Ao Jiao smiled cockily . Her little face was as proud as it could be . She glanced at Xiao Chen, waiting for him to speak .
Xiao Chen thought back to the experience of that night . Then, an embarrassed look flashed on his face . After thinking for a moment, he finally gave an answer to the question that nagged at him that night .
“This is my little master, Ao Jiao . There is no need to worry about her strength . Regular half-step Martial Emperors would be of no problem to her . Furthermore, her combat experience is much richer than ours . ”
Strictly speaking, Xiao Chen was not wrong . Ao Jiao had indeed taught Xiao Chen a lot of things in the past . This was especially so when they were in the Sky Dome Realm, when Xiao Chen was still extremely weak . At that time, he received much guidance from her .
Although Xiao Chen introduced Ao Jiao as a master, the atmosphere between the two appeared somewhat strange .
However, Dugu Ao did not overthink this . He believed that given Xiao Chen’s character, Xiao Chen would not joke about this . Furthermore, Ao Jiao did indeed give off a somewhat unfathomable feeling .
After hearing this, Dugu Ao immediately greeted Ao Jiao respectfully . He performed a cupped-fist salute and said, “So it is Senior Ao . Dugu Ao was impolite . ”
Ao Jiao smiled, making her face look bright like a flower . “Hehe! I don’t dare to be addressed as Senior; just call me Elder Sister Ao Jiao . ”
“Right, I’ll listen to Senior . Elder Sister Ao Jiao!”
Seeing Dugu Ao’s serious expression, Xiao Chen felt like laughing . However, he endured in the end .
“Are you sure? This little girl is a senior? I can’t believe this even if you beat me to death . ”
Shock appeared on Mu Xiyan’s face . She was of the same generation as Dugu Ao . That meant that she would be of a lower generation than this little girl . When she thought about it, this little girl and that little bird had mocked her, so she could not restrain her frustration .
Dugu Ao’s expression turned stern as he demanded, “What are you saying? This is a senior that is here to help you . Quickly apologize . Address her as elder sister . ”
Mu Xiyan seemed to fear Dugu Ao somewhat . She gave him a wronged look but saw that he still had his stern expression . So she could only go over to Ao Jiao and whisper an apology . Then, she addressed her as Elder Sister Ao Jiao reluctantly .
