Chapter 1748 (Raw 1760): Queer Matter

Despite the bamboo-hat bladesman taking away the precious black Blaze Crystal, Senior Ma and the others did not dare to show any dissatisfaction .

Senior Ma and Leng Feng exchanged glances . Then, they stepped forward, wanting to establish a connection . If needed, it would be best if they could ally with the bamboo-hat bladesman .

Even if they could not ally, it would be good to make friends, preventing any clash from happening later .

“Might I ask for your noble family name and great name, also, which sect in the Central Great Realm you come from?”

The bamboo-hat bladesman snorted in laughter . He said indifferently, “Central Great Realm? I’ve never been there . Right now, I’m just a loose cultivator . Just call me Ananda . ”

[TL Note: The Chinese phonetics for the name Ananda is Ah Nan or E Nan . However, this was also the name for the Prince Ananda, who was a cousin and the closest disciple of the Lord Buddha, so I chose to translate it as Ananda instead . ]

As the bamboo-hat bladesman spoke, his gaze swept over Senior Ma’s team again .

This gave the bamboo-hat bladesman a clearer understanding of this team’s strength .

When the bamboo-hat bladesman’s gaze landed on Xiao Chen, a strange expression flickered in the eyes hidden under the conical bamboo hat .

However, this look passed in a flash, indiscernible to others .

“A loose cultivator?”

Both Leng Feng and Xiahou Feng were shocked . Since when was there such a heaven-defying character among the loose cultivators?

However, the world was vast . It was possible for some to run into great fortune .

Leng Feng followed up and invited, “Brother Ananda, you are alone . How about you join our team?”

The bamboo-hat bladesman Ananda smiled faintly and said, “There’s no need . ”

With these simple words, the bamboo-hat bladesman left .

The bamboo-hat bladesman never thought of allying with Senior Ma and the others . Perhaps, he did not care about them at all .

After that bamboo-hat bladesman was far away, discussions rang out .

“What a young Star Venerate! His saber skills are really astonishing . ”

“Indeed . He almost chopped that black Flame Demon in half with one saber strike, and the saber Qi lingered in the wound . Even if he has not comprehended the complete Saber Dao, he should not be far off . ”

“I wonder where this expert came from . ”

Xiao Chen remained silent, pondering as he stared in the direction the bamboo-hat bladesman had taken .

This bamboo-hat bladesman’s entire body was tightly covered; Xiao Chen could not make out anything distinctive .

Nonetheless, he found the bamboo-hat bladesman somewhat familiar for some reason, feeling that he had met this bladesman before .

However, there was no bladesman in Xiao Chen’s memory that had such strength .

While Ye Zifeng definitely had such strength, he was much stronger than this, on the Holy-Venerate level .

Perhaps I saw wrong .

Xiao Chen started to doubt his instinct, as his memory had always been good .

He should not be mistaken and could not recall anyone . In that case, only his instinct could be the problem .

After a long time, Senior Ma said, “Everyone, be careful . It looks like it is not just us who discovered the dragon city . Who knows, there might be others . If we meet Rank 5 sect disciples…” 

The sight of the bamboo-hat bladesman had caused the hearts of Senior Ma and the others to sink .

They no longer monopolized this place .

The appearance of the bamboo-hat bladesman meant that there would be others . Their dreams of monopoly evaporated .

If things were bad and they ran into Rank 5 sect disciples, not only would they miss out on fortuitous encounters, but they could only flee in all directions, leaving their survival to fate .

Continuing forward, Senior Ma’s team destroyed another Flame Demon group . They explored the courtyards and pavilions around and obtained many benefits .

Some found ancient weapons, and some found ancient cultivation resources that managed to last until now . There were all sorts of things .

For these things to last for such a long time and still be able to reveal their brilliance after being cleaned, they definitely were excellent items .

Half a day later, rumbling came from the front as well as dense flames and the war cries of cultivators .

“Indeed, there are others . ”

“There are really a lot of people . ”

Senior Ma’s expression immediately turned grave .

He did not fear meeting a lone expert like the bamboo-hat bladesman . What he feared was meeting a team like theirs .

“Let’s go over and see . ”

No matter what, they should understand the situation and who the other side was first .

Before Senior Ma’s team got close, a boiling heatwave surged over .

Up in front was a team, with similar numbers to Senior Ma’s team, fighting a group of Flame Demons .

The Flame Demons here were even stronger . They were all at the Major Primal Core Realm . There was also a black Flame Demon that was a Star Venerate . This was incredibly terrifying .

Although the other team’s members worked well with each other, under the attacks of the Star-Venerate-level black Flame Demon, the team’s situation was bad . Several people died .

Blood leaked out and formed rivers, a very cruel sight .

“It’s Senior Liu’s team!” Leng Feng said when he clearly saw who the other team’s leader was .

Senior Ma and the others heaved a sigh of relief . Fortunately, they were not Rank 5 sect disciples .

Like Senior Ma’s team, Senior Liu’s team was very famous in the northern city of Dragon Flame City . However, Senior Liu’s team was slightly weaker . The relationship between the two teams was not very good, but it was not bad, either .

“So, it is Senior Ma . We are all comrades of Dragon Flame City . Give us a hand . ”

Senior Liu’s team was obviously at a disadvantage and was fighting a desperate battle .

Right now, the dragon city’s environment was very complicated . Without having to think much, Senior Ma made his decision .

He ordered, “Go over and help . ”

If Senior Ma could obtain another helper, it would be beneficial for the journey after this .

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

With that order, the people of Senior Ma’s team immediately flew over and started fighting the Flame Demons .

Instantly, the pressure on Senior Liu’s team decreased significantly .

Xiao Chen held up the Tyrant Saber, displaying no fear as he moved about . The more he used the Army Breaking Saber Technique, the more familiar with it he became .

Slowly, there were signs of the Army Breaking Saber Technique reaching peak consummation . As Xiao Chen executed the Saber Technique, he swept through his area alone, appearing very powerful and tyrannical . An invisible tyrant’s might flooded the area, shocking everyone who noticed it .

“What a suave Saber Technique!”

“One man and one saber amid a ten-thousand-strong army, sweeping through the place fearlessly . Everything the saber points at breaks . Truly tyrannical!”

Several people from both teams were shocked by Xiao Chen’s Saber Technique .

Xiao Chen’s Movement Technique was very exquisite . Using the Fish Dragon Art, he moved about freely .

Although the enemy was ferocious, they posed no danger to Xiao Chen at all, leaving him with plenty of room to maneuver .

The truly strong enemy was the Star-Venerate-level black Flame Demon . However, Senior Ma, Senior Liu, Leng Feng, and the others worked together to handle it .

After a while, with both teams working together, they finally repulsed this group of Flame Demons .

The Star-Venerate-level Flame Demon found it hard to fight against so many with just its fists . It sustained significant injuries, so it turned into a clump of flame and fled in a sorry state .

Xiao Chen watched that black Flame Demon indifferently, paying attention to where it went, secretly keeping an eye on it .

That Senior Liu came over and expressed his thanks to Senior Ma . Then, he generously offered all of the Blaze Crystals from the Flame Demons’ corpses to Senior Ma’s team .

Senior Ma smiled casually but did not reject him .

Following that, the upper echelons of both teams started discussing an alliance .

Xiao Chen looked interestedly at the ground, entering deep thought .

The ground that was just covered in blood no longer showed much of a trace of it anymore . This baffled Xiao Chen .

He pondered this as he looked at the ground .

“Senior Liu, how long has it been since you entered this dragon city?”

“About one day . This dragon city is very strange, but everyone felt that there is something to gain, so we persisted . They want to kill their way to the Flame Demon headquarters to see what it is like . ”

The two teams had entered at nearly the same time .

Soon, the two teams showed signs of agreeing to an alliance to attack the main camp of the Flame Demon tribe together .

Xiao Chen, who was squatting on the ground, heard what Senior Ma and Senior Liu were saying . Then, he thought of something .

“This is strange . I have to make some preparations in advance . ”

Xiao Chen’s figure flashed, and he silently vanished from this place .

Following that, Xiao Chen hunted the Star-Venerate-level Flame Demon that Senior Ma and Senior Liu injured .

After a while, he stopped on top of a courtyard wall and calmly looked at the ground below .

“Whoosh!”

Suddenly, a clump of flames came out of the ground . That injured Star-Venerate-level Flame Demon resumed human form . It coughed, appearing weakened .

Resolving the Mundane!

Xiao Chen jumped off the wall and did not hesitate to use his strongest killing move, the Mahāmāyā Abstinence Violation Saber Technique’s Resolving the Mundane .

Since ancient times, sages were just passing travelers, ten thousand years of hopes and efforts in the mundane world coming to nothing . After resolving the matters of the mundane world, one would see Buddha and gain eternity!

Xiao Chen’s heart was as calm as still water . At this moment, he surpassed the mundane . The seven emotions and six desires were absent .

He expressionlessly landed the saber, and the swastika on his forehead appeared . A Buddhist light lit up the place, but it contained no emotion or desire, only the eternally inextinguishable saber light .

Once the mundane heart was resolved, eternity remained .

That severely injured Flame Demon only had time to look up and reveal a horrified expression before this terrifying saber chopped it in half, killing it on the spot .  

“Clunk!”

The Buddhist light purified the Flame Demon, leaving only a strange black crystal falling to the ground . Xiao Chen sheathed his saber and picked up the crystal .

After killing the enemy, he did not stop moving, immediately taking out his carving knife .

Then, he quickly started shaping the black Blaze Crystal . He was very focused, and his heart was like still water .

After a while, Xiao Chen transformed the black Blaze Crystal into a statue of the black Flame Demon .

He spat out some essence blood and let the black crystal absorb it . Then, he crushed many red Blaze Crystals in his hand .

Xiao Chen continuously refined and drew out the essence of the red Blaze Crystals, infusing them into the black crystal sculpture . It was like he poured blood into it, bringing it to life .

When he finished all this, he put away the exquisite sculpture in his hand and retraced his steps, rejoining the team .

The two teams had integrated into one, and several cultivators were currently searching the courtyards of the dragon city .  

Hence, Xiao Chen’s movements did not arouse any suspicions at all .

Who could have imagined that Xiao Chen had killed a Star-Venerate-level Flame Demon with one saber strike earlier?
