Chapter 1822 (Raw 1833): Nightless Sky

 “What a close call . ”

 After escaping this calamity, Xiao Chen put down Yan Chen and heaved a sigh of relief .

 After Yan Chen landed, he looked seriously at Xiao Chen and said, “Big Brother Xiao, your earlier Saber Technique seemed to be heading in the wrong direction . Although you managed to send out eighty-one saber strikes in the blink of an eye, the trajectories of the saber strikes were all different . Its might became way too scattered . ”

 Naturally, Xiao Chen understood that without needing Yan Chen to say it .

 It would be strange if one could send out so many saber strikes in the blink of an eye and still be able to do it like when one was in a normal and calm situation .

 Storing up power had a process . The longer it took, the mightier the move . The shorter the time, the weaker the move .

 Although Xiao Chen’s casual strike already possessed horrifying might for his cultivation, it was still not sufficient to inflict a truly fatal injury on a true expert .

 However, everything required tempering .

 Xiao Chen had just comprehended the Thunder Dragon Nine Transformations today . How could he achieve consummation in one go?

 He was already very satisfied with its current might .

 Earlier, Xiao Chen had caught hold of Si Shengjie’s opening . The Heavenly Eagle Castle demonic Cultivation Technique needed to be circulated at every moment in order for the user to grow stronger as the fight continued .

 Not only would the physical body continue to grow stronger as it plundered the power of everything in the world, but each attack would also become even more powerful than the one before it .

 That sect’s way of fighting was preposterous . Those who fought against a Heavenly Eagle Castle disciple would all feel extremely sullen . If one wanted to gain victory, one had to decide the battle quickly and end the latter’s life in one strike .

 Otherwise, if the other party even had a breath left, they could be able to circulate their demonic Cultivation Technique to recover quickly from their injuries and launch a counterattack .

 Si Shengjie did not dare to act rashly after Xiao Chen caught his attack . While he was still recovering from the backlash caused by the Sharp Spirit Finger, Xiao Chen suddenly attacked, truly capitalizing on the opportunity .

 Eighty-one strands of saber light stabbed in at the same time, instantly cutting off all signs of life .

 Under normal circumstances, the many weakened saber lights would not have dealt any fatal damage to the other party, no matter how many there were .

 Had Xiao Chen not shocked the hundred-odd Demonic Dao experts around, he would not have had a chance to bring Yan Chen away .

 If a chaotic battle had taken place, Xiao Chen could have guaranteed his own survival, but he could not have said the same for the little monk . To think that after causing such a huge problem, despite him saving Yan Chen, the first thing that Yan Chen said was not thanks but criticism of his Saber Technique . That was somewhat flabbergasting .

 However, Yan Chen seemed oblivious . He continued happily, “Hence, I feel that you should gather the saber light together and proceed with the attack . In the future, when your cultivation increases, you can improve it systematically, slowly splitting them apart . At that time, not only would you be more practiced in executing it, but the saber light’s might would also not weaken and successfully reach consummation . ”

 Xiao Chen could not be bothered with Yan Chen . He casually sat on a rock and closed his eyes to rest .

 He felt some worry . The three great Demonic Dao sect true inheritors and inner sect Elders still had not appeared .

 This was truly unexpected . It looked like the true battle would begin only after the nightless mysterious phenomenon appeared .

 Those true inheritors and 7-Star pirate experts were in closed-door cultivation, waiting for the mysterious phenomenon to occur .

 This was so that they could fight to obtain the greatest opportunity in the Myriad Star Mountain’s main peak .

 There was still Big Brother Yan, who was currently not with Xiao Chen . He was indeed the greatest danger . Who knew what scheme he was cooking up now?

 Yan Chen was not happy being ignored . He walked over to Xiao Chen and asked, “Big Brother Xiao, what do you think of my opinion?”

 Xiao Chen opened his eyes and observed Yan Chen . The little monk possessed delicate facial features with thick eyebrows and large eyes . His smiling face made him look very young and tender .

 “Little monk, what secrets are you hiding? Why did the inherited Demonic Dao Tool end up in your hand?” Xiao Chen asked, bewildered .

 Had the inherited Demonic Dao Tool ended up in Xiao Chen’s hands, it would have been much easier to explain .

 After all, Xiao Chen already stepped into the Demonic Dao . His physical body had been altered by the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation, and his Primal Core stored a large amount of Veritable Essence Energy transformed from Demonic Qi .

 However, of all people, this inherited Dao Tool flew to the little monk .

 There was a reason for everything that happened in the world .

 Yan Chen replied helplessly, “I do not know, either . Master said that I already used up all of my luck when I was born, so I will find it hard to avoid misfortune for the rest of my life . Most of the time, even when I do not seek out trouble, trouble seeks me out . ”

 Previously, when Xiao Chen heard Yan Chen say this, he was still in some disbelief . Now, he started thinking, Could there really be such an unlucky person?

 “However, Master always tells me with a smile, being able to be born is my greatest fortune and also the Buddhist sect’s fortune . However, when I went down the mountains and wandered the world for the past few years, I always encountered bad luck . The only consolation is that I defeated people of both the Demonic Dao and Righteous Dao . People call me…”

 Baffled, Xiao Chen prompted, “Call you what?”

 Every time the little monk spoke of this, he stopped . This made Xiao Chen very curious about what people called him .

 Yan Chen said awkwardly, “Next time, next time . ”

 Every time Yan Chen brought up his nickname, his excitement would immediately peter out .

 Just at this moment, Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, his heart sinking . Then, he looked calmly at Yan Chen and said, “Little monk, it looks like we will have to part for now . ”

 Yan Chen was startled to hear this . “That can’t be . You saved me several times, and you are also a benefactor of the Buddhist sect . I was thinking of giving you pointers on the saber after my injuries are healed . ”

 Xiao Chen said indifferently, “There’s no need . ”

 Yan Chen smiled and said, “I have to . It is necessary . Master said that the debt of having one’s life saved is greater than heaven . If I leave just like that, it would not be appropriate . ”

 Xiao Chen showed no emotions on his face as he smiled dispassionately . “Your departure would be the greatest repayment . Being with you, what else is there aside from trouble?”

 “Ah…”

 Yan Chen felt startled . Unexpectedly, this Big Brother Xiao that he hit it off with also thought like that .

 Yan Chen could not help feeling disappointed as well as guilty as he rubbed his head . Then, he smiled and said, “I’m leaving, then . My bad luck can, indeed, affect others . I did not think of that earlier . ”

 After the little monk had really gone far away, Xiao Chen sighed . His expression remained the same, showing no changes .

 “Hahaha! Little Brother Xiao, we meet again!”

 The Iron Horn Pirate Group’s captain, Yan Zhe, suddenly appeared out of nowhere . However, this time, he was not alone .

 A lethargic old man stood beside Yan Zhe . His aura was actually even scarier than Yan Zhe’s .

 This old man was very skinny, looking like a stick . He had practically no flesh on his face, which looked sunken in .

 Who knew how long this old man had lived?

 Yan Zhe pointed to Xiao Chen and said, “Senior Chai, this is the young bladesman Xiao Chen that I mentioned . He is the one who managed to gain the Scarlet Blood War Banner’s acknowledgment by coincidence . ”

 “Indeed, each new generation surpasses the last one . Young man, pretty good, pretty good . ”

 Senior Chai smiled sinisterly, his voice making one tremble .

 Xiao Chen stood up and said, “Senior Chai, you are too polite . ”

 Xiao Chen shifted his gaze to Yan Zhe . “Big Brother Yan, you are somewhat early . The nightless mysterious phenomenon will appear only after some time . ”

 Yan Zhe smiled mysteriously . “I’m not early . I’m just on time . In another few days, the three Demonic Dao sects will work together and sweep through the place to ensure that they will be the first to enter the main peak and hold the greatest advantage .

 “The disciples of the three great Demonic Dao sects are in closed-door cultivation in their sects at the moment . This is the best time for us to enter the main peak . We need to take the initiative . ”

 Xiao Chen looked at the sky . The demonic clouds covered it, lingering without scattering .

 There were no signs of any change at all .

 Before the mysterious phenomenon appeared, the demonic clouds shrouding the main peak of the Myriad Star Mountain would never scatter .

 Not to mention a Holy Venerate, even a Sovereign Personage would not be able to barge into the main peak .

 Upon seeing Xiao Chen’s strange expression, Yan Zhe smiled and explained, “With you around, it is not difficult to deal with the demonic clouds . Take out the Scarlet Blood War Banner . These one hundred thousand great peaks are made from the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s body . When he senses that the Scarlet Blood War Banner acknowledged you, he will gently blow a breath, and the demonic clouds covering the sky will disappear naturally like smoke . ”

 Xiao Chen’s heart skipped a beat . It turned out that this Yan Zhe had already planned all this .

 Back when Yan Zhe saw that Xiao Chen had gained the acknowledgment of the Scarlet Blood War Banner, he probably planned this day out .

 Xiao Chen’s strength did not interest Yan Zhe at all .

 Yan Zhe needed to find a true partner, which was this sinister and skinny Senior Chai .

 Xiao Chen kept his thoughts hidden, a phrase immediately coming to mind: Putting away the bow when the birds are gone .

 [TL Note: Putting away the bow when the birds are gone means discarding someone that has served his purpose . ]

 Helping Yan Zhe open the way to the main peak might mean that Xiao Chen’s death would be imminent .

 Nevertheless, at this moment, two Holy Venerates were smiling at Xiao Chen . He had no chance of resisting at all .

 Xiao Chen’s heart twitched . However, he still took out the Scarlet Blood War Banner without any change in expression . Then, holding the banner, he stabbed it into the ground, into what the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s body had transformed into .

 My stature is like a mountain, spanning tens of thousands of kilometers; my eyes are like the many stars, making the sky shine bright like day instead of night .

 Xiao Chen was connected to the Scarlet Blood War Banner . It was an extension of his arm . When he stabbed it into the ground, an ancient aura surged into the ground, and the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s body sensed it .

 “Rumble…!”

 All one hundred thousand great peaks shook intensely at this moment . The sea around surged and splashed with towering waves, suddenly turning merciless .

 In an instant, it smashed countless ships nearby .

 It was like a giant trying to stand up in the water .

 Senior Chai appeared slightly excited . Yan Zhe still had his usual faint smile, revealing no grief, joy, or excitement .

 “Whoosh!”

 The demonic clouds covering the sky for millions of kilometers shrank back continuously, gathering at the main peak, which was wreathed in demonic clouds all year round .

 Boundless starlight descended and quickly spread throughout the one hundred thousand great peaks and over the nearby sea regions .

 “The nightless mysterious phenomenon is happening in advance!”

 “Strange . Previously, the demonic clouds would scatter to the outside . How come it is gathering inside this time?”

 “It seems like some kind of strange existence is swallowing up demonic clouds . ”

 Such a startling and vast mysterious phenomenon immediately attracted the attention of countless people .

 Yan Zhe laughed loudly three times and took the Scarlet Blood War Banner, which was stabbed into the ground, into his hands .

 “Little Brother Xiao, the forbidden area is dangerous . You should stay here for now . Senior Chai and I will enter first . ”

 At this moment, countless people headed for the main peak .

 However, Yan Zhe and Senior Chai were Holy Venerates . They soon overtook everyone .

 There were a few fools who tried to block the two’s way . Before they could say a word, they died without an intact corpse .

 The true inheritors and inner sect Elders of the three great Demonic Dao sects, as well as the 7-Star pirate experts, were still far away .

 Yan Zhe and Elder Chai were destined to snatch the initiative, rushing ahead of everyone .

 Remaining in place, Xiao Chen turned extremely sullen .

 This was the first time he felt so angry and helpless . This Yan Zhe was truly extremely vile .

 Who did Yan Zhe take Xiao Chen for, a pawn that he could manipulate at any moment?
