Chapter 233: Chapter 221: Ziwei Chen Family Is Here! Who Dares to Touch the Young Master?
That night.
At midnight, the full moon hung high.
In the distant mountain forests, a lone wolf howled at the moon.
Suddenly.
A Divine Travel Cultivator, with a face full of terror, rushed into Celestial Gate City, using all his strength to shout:
"Chen... Chen Zhixing!"
"Chen Zhixing of the Ziwei Chen Family is just outside the city!!"
With those words, the cultivator lowered his head, hurried his steps, and merged into the crowd, disappearing without a trace.
The entire Celestial Gate City instantly quaked in shock!
"Chen Zhixing?!"
Within the City Lord’s Mansion.
Sikong Yuan from the Sikong family, the Commander, was sitting on a mat, feigning sleep with his eyes closed.
The next moment.
Sikong Yuan’s eyes suddenly opened, a bright gleam flashed through them.
"That guy, has he arrived at my Celestial Gate City?"
Sikong Yuan took a deep breath, a trace of seriousness flickering in his eyes.
He was only at the True Self Eighth Layer, relying on his own strength, to face him would likely be a certain death.
"Someone, send an order to Li Changsheng, set out immediately to kill Chen Zhixing!"
"Having taken benefits from our Sikong family, how can he not do the work?"
Sikong Yuan’s mouth curled into a cold, sinister smile.
...
...
At the Li Mansion.
Li Changsheng, who was accompanying Lvu Zhinu, suddenly paused.
"Father! Chen... Chen Zhixing has shown up!"
"The Sikong family ordered you to act immediately!"
Li Sanbao pushed the door open, his face full of tension.
Lvu Zhinu, already awakened and with a rosy complexion, looked worriedly toward Li Changsheng and said:
"Changsheng, neither Chen Zhixing nor the Ziwei Chen Family behind him are easy to deal with. I think... maybe you should just let it go?"
"I can live for another year, I’m already very content."
Hearing this, Li Changsheng held Lvu Zhinu’s hand tightly, warmly smiled, and shook his head:
"We promised a lifetime together; how can one year be enough?"
After speaking, Li Changsheng took a deep breath, ready to release her hand and head outside the city.
Suddenly.
The hand he released was held back by Lvu Zhinu.
"Changsheng, Chen Zhixing has no enmity with you, do you really want to kill him?" Lvu Zhinu stared directly at Li Changsheng.
Li Changsheng paused at her words, slightly silent.
After a moment, he finally said mildly:
"When in Jianghu, one is not free to act at will."
"In this world, there are many things beyond one’s control."
"I don’t care if I have a grudge against Chen Zhixing or not, I only know one thing..."
A glint of coldness flashed in Li Changsheng’s eyes.
"Whoever stands in the way of your Path of Longevity, I will kill!"
Boom!
Li Changsheng stepped forward and disappeared into the vast night sky.
Lvu Zhinu looked dazedly in the direction Li Changsheng left.
...
...
At the same time.
Outside Celestial Gate City.
On a mountain peak.
Chen Zhixing sat cross-legged.
A chilly mountain breeze lifted the hem of his clothes.
Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
Suddenly, a dull marching sound echoed between heaven and earth, as if thousands of troops were rushing in.
The next moment.
Over a hundred figures in black heavy armor, wearing thick iron helmets, carrying giant crossbows on their backs and holding long halberds, quickly dashed from the base of the mountain, surrounding Chen Zhixing layer by layer!
Each of them was burly, exuding a fierce bloody aura, as if heavenly soldiers descended from mountains of corpses and seas of blood, their killing intent soaring to the skies!
In the void.
Sikong Yuan rode a flame warhorse, coming from the Celestial Gate City Lord’s Mansion, stepping through the air.
He was nearly three meters tall, donned in a ghostly black profound armor, covered in flame-like red gold array patterns, his helmeted head protected by an iron mask, leaving only a pair of majestic eyes exposed.
The warhorse’s four hooves blazed with fierce flames, leaving a trail of flaming hoof marks in the air where it stepped!
"I, Sikong Yuan, am the Guardian Envoy of Celestial Gate City!"
Sikong Yuan halted his horse, a cold gaze descending as he looked upon Chen Zhixing.
"Bold criminal Chen Zhixing, your evil deeds are countless and your methods treacherous, having killed seven of our Huai State’s prodigious geniuses and seized the century-old foundation of our Huai State Sects!"
"Such behavior is unforgivable!"
"Neither Huai State will tolerate you, nor will the world, nor will the laws and principles of this world!"
Chen Zhixing raised his head at these words, faintly looking at Sikong Yuan on the horse, and smiled:
"Laws and principles? Who set the laws and principles?"
"Naturally, they are the laws and principles set by my Sikong family!"
Sikong Yuan sneered coldly:
"Now, with the divine army descending from our righteous forces, will you still not surrender? What are you waiting for?"
Chen Zhixing, hearing this, did not speak, but looked around, calmly said:
"Is it just you bunch of riffraff?"
"Heh heh, Chen Zhixing, did you think I would come to arrest you today without being fully prepared?"
Sikong Yuan laughed loudly, then looked toward a void:
"Li Changsheng, are you not going to act?"
Whoosh--!
The void was suddenly torn open.
Li Changsheng stepped out from the void, looking expressionlessly at Chen Zhixing.
Chen Zhixing also raised his head to look at Li Changsheng.
The moment their gazes met in the air.
"Li Changsheng, I have no enmity with you, are you really going to fight me?"
Chen Zhixing narrowed his long eyes, smiled, and asked.
"Hahaha, Chen Zhixing, do you know fear now? Rising from no grievances or grudges?"
Sikong Yuan couldn’t help but flash a smug smile as he looked at Li Changsheng and said:
"Li Changsheng, the longer you delay, the more things will change. Act now!"
Li Changsheng didn’t bother to glance at Sikong Yuan. Instead, he looked at Chen Zhixing, pondered for a moment, and said:
"Chen Zhixing, don’t blame me. Blame yourself for appearing in Huai State and offending the Sikong family."
Pausing for a moment.
Li Changsheng softly said, "If I don’t kill you, then my wife will die, so... sorry."
"It’s alright, I just hope that once you’ve made this decision, you won’t regret it."
Chen Zhixing’s eyes drooped as he spoke faintly.
A certain shackle in his heart completely opened as well.
"Li Changsheng, what good is there in speaking to him? Quickly make your move! Understand?"
Sikong Yuan frowned, speaking with dissatisfaction.
Slap!
Li Changsheng backhanded a slap across Sikong Yuan’s face, coldly saying:
"Know your place! I am merely in a transaction with the Sikong family; it doesn’t mean I am a dog kept by your family!"
"If you say one more word, I will kill you as well!"
A crimson five-finger mark immediately appeared on Sikong Yuan’s face, flooding him with rage.
"Li Changsheng!!"
He roared lowly, but under Li Changsheng’s gaze, he gritted his teeth, not daring to say another word.
"Chen Xiaoyou, offense intended!"
Li Changsheng took a deep breath and looked at Chen Zhixing.
The next moment.
Without hesitation, he raised his hand, slamming it down towards Chen Zhixing.
Rumble——!
In an instant, the boundless Nirvana Power surged out, transforming into a terrifying giant hand that covered the sky and blocked out the sun!
This great hand enveloped the entire mountain peak, with a chaotic sea roiling in its palm. Each intricate pattern was clear, as if every palm line was a path of the Great Tao!
Words could not describe the horror of this strike!
It seemed as if under this palm, the Great Tao would be obliterated, and the sun, moon, and stars would be simultaneously destroyed!
This palm alone had power far beyond what the Five Elements Thunder Sect’s Sect Leader could compare to!
"Hahaha, die!!"
Seeing this, Sikong Yuan’s face filled with delight.
If Chen Zhixing were to die in Celestial Gate City, it would be enough for him to regain status within the family!
Chen Zhixing raised his head, looking at the massive hand descending from above.
The fierce wind made his black hair wildly flutter.
"So strong."
Chen Zhixing sighed, clearly feeling that Li Changsheng was indeed someone he couldn’t defeat at the moment.
The next moment.
Whoosh——!!!
A seemingly ordinary azure light shot out from behind Chen Zhixing, piercing through the entire giant hand in an instant!
The next moment.
The giant hand was suddenly covered with countless cracks and shattered with a bang!
Amidst the muffled sounds of breaking.
A loud laugh echoed in the vast night sky.
"Ziwei Chen Family’s Dark Division is here!"
"Who dares to harm our young master?!"
Crash——!
The void was torn like a sheet of rice paper.
An elder dressed in azure, with immaculately groomed hair and beard, was the first to step out from within the void.
Behind him, dozens of masked Dark Division members, with black curse seals on their necks, followed like shadows.
"People from the Ziwei Chen Family?!"
Seeing this, Sikong Yuan’s pupils contracted fiercely.
How did this group manage to infiltrate the Huai State territory silently?
In an instant.
Sikong Yuan’s warhorse nervously pawed the ground.
The heavily armored soldiers surrounding Chen Zhixing also showed a hint of panic in their eyes.
Before Sikong Yuan could speak.
Rip!
The void was torn open once more!
"Celestial Wave Sacred Lands, North Peak Leader Tuoba Zhenyi is here!"
"Who dares touch our Celestial Wave Divine Son?!"
A towering middle-aged man with flaming red hair walked out from the void, exuding a terrifying aura with every move, as if he could tear open the heavens with his bare hands.
Ten Qi Blood Furnaces fully opened, illuminating the heavens, fiercely grand!!
"Divine Son, long time no see."
"Hahaha, Junior Brother Chen, have you missed us?"
"Finally arriving in Huai State, hope there’s a worthy opponent!"
Behind Tuoba Zhenyi.
Li Ran, Guann Tianyu, Gai Rong, and Peng Nai came together.
Their presence either overwhelming, immovable, defiant, or exceptionally domineering!
"Move aside!"
A Sikong family soldier standing on the periphery, merely a bit closer to Peng Nai, had his skull brutally smashed to the ground.
On the other side.
"Sikong Yuan, back then you weren’t qualified to stand before me, and now you dare to shout in front of our young master?"
Dugu Ni’s eyes were deep, stepping out from the darkness of the forest.
Behind him, a black coffin opened on its own.
A black vertical eye demon sword flew out from the coffin, grasped by Dugu Ni’s five fingers.
Whoosh——!
The demon sword’s slit-like vertical eye suddenly opened.
"Life or death, it’s all up to a whim."
Shanyang shook his head in admiration, stepping out from another direction.
The next moment.
Everyone came from all directions.
The black armored soldiers enclosing Chen Zhixing felt like they were plunged into an ice cave, their hearts pounding, not daring to move, watching them pass by.
Soon after.
Elder Nether and others lined up behind Chen Zhixing.
They raised their heads together, with playful smiles, looking at Sikong Yuan and Li Changsheng in the void.
