Chapter 677: Ancient Sovereign’s Aura
Xiao Chen asked indifferently, “Do you think that I will agree?”
Yu Zhiqiang smiled coldly. “I knew that you would say this long ago. However, no matter what you say, your fate is sealed!”
Right after Yu Zhiqiang spoke, the five faction leaders unleashed their auras and pressed heavily on Xiao Chen. All of them were peak late-stage Medial Grade Martial Monarchs.
The five auras were like five massive mountains. They pressed on Xiao Chen with a brutal force that kicked up strong winds.
A fierce gust stirred up dust. Xiao Chen squinted slightly as his white robes fluttered wildly in the wind as if the strong wind would carry him away at any moment.
Several Supreme Sky Sect disciples in the city felt this strong aura. So they came to check out what was happening.
When these disciples saw this scene, they could not help but be astonished. Unexpectedly, the leaders of the five factions claiming a personal fiefdom in the inner sect were acting in concert to deal with a newcomer disciple from the Sky Dome Realm.
The new disciples felt that this was too much. Every single one of these five people was someone who stood at the peak of the inner sect. They even had some fame in the eighteen southern provinces.
These disciples had never seen these five people working together like this before.
“What did the White Robed Bladesman do? How did he offend all five of these people?”
“Ha ha! After being in the Supreme Sky Sect for so long, you still don’t seem to understand this. It is not that Xiao Chen offended them. It is just that these five people found Xiao Chen to be a big threat, so they purposely came to stir up trouble.”
“That’s not right. Xiao Chen is only an Inferior Grade Martial Monarch. His cultivation is a lot weaker than theirs. How come they feel threatened?”
“Who knows what is going on? In any case, this Xiao Chen is in for a hard time.”
As the sect disciples discussed, their gazes towards Xiao Chen were filled with compassion. With Yu Zhiqiang and the other faction leaders working together, the outcome was easy to predict.
Situ Gang hid within the crowd. His eyes revealed a cold light. Beside him was another person who had the same look in his eyes as he watched Xiao Chen.
Gui Wu had a dark expression as he asked, “Situ Gang, are you here to join in the excitement as well?”
Situ Gang chuckled and replied, “Naturally. Xiao Chen does not stand a chance at all today. How can I not take advantage of this opportunity to trample on him? Gui Wu, you probably have the same thoughts, right?”
Smiling sinisterly, Gui Wu said, “With these five faction leaders working together, a miracle will not happen for Xiao Chen. If he has to blame something, he should blame his own fame, that he could not keep a low profile.”
Regardless of what the others said about him, Xiao Chen merely remained calm and at ease as he faced the strong auras the five were sending at him, not moving at all.
Yu Zhiqiang and the others felt astonished in their hearts. They could not understand how Xiao Chen could remain relaxed despite facing their combined auras when he was one cultivation grade lower than them.
“Senior Brothers, let’s put in some more effort. Put in our full power and suppress him with our auras.”
Feeling very depressed, Lan Feichen roared loudly and tried to squeeze out more power in an attempt to suppress Xiao Chen with his aura.
“Don’t hold anything back. Suppress him with all your might!”
Yu Zhiqiang felt somewhat frustrated as well. The five of them had made their move together before so many people, but they still could not suppress Xiao Chen with their auras. This was something they could not live down.
“Boom!”
Quintessence surged through the five’s bodies. They no longer held anything back, releasing their auras at their limits. A faint glow appeared around their bodies.
A surging aura gushed like a river flowing endlessly, like it was trying to sweep Xiao Chen away, never to return.
Xiao Chen smiled coldly to himself. This group of people was really naive. Now that he had the ancient sovereign’s bloodline in his veins, he did not fear even the aura of a peak Martial Sage.
Just five insignificant Medial Grade Martial Monarchs would not be able to put any pressure on him. This was simply laughable.
Stand down! Xiao Chen roared in his heart as he stepped forward. As he took this step, he explosively unleashed the ancient sovereign’s aura.
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Five intense explosions rang out in the air. All of them were like thunder, ear-splitting and shaking space for a kilometer around.
The five faction leaders all vomited a mouthful of blood. Xiao Chen forced them all back a hundred meters each, and their faces filled with horror.
This scene stunned everyone. Unexpectedly, five peak late-stage Medial Grade Martial Monarchs lost to Xiao Chen when they competed with their auras.
The five lost to Xiao Chen, a Sky Dome Realm cultivator, someone who was only a peak late-stage Inferior Grade Martial Monarch. Furthermore, they lost so distinctly and miserably.
“How is his aura so strong? I actually felt the aura of an ancient sovereign,” the crowd exclaimed in shock as their faces filled with astonishment.
While you are down, I shall attack!
Once Xiao Chen had the upper hand, he would not spare them. Before the five landed on the ground, a resonant dragon roar came from his chest. Instantly, an Azure Dragon image appeared.
Rise!
As Xiao Chen stood on the Azure Dragon, he moved very fast. As he flew up and down, he quickly arrived before the weakest, Lan Feichen, and sent out a punch.
This attack startled Lan Feichen. He tried to quickly grab the weapon at his waist to face his opponent.
Xiao Chen used his left palm as a palm saber, and azure Vital Qi flowed in it. Then, he struck Lan Feichen’s wrist and broke his bones.
The strength in Lan Feichen’s hand promptly vanished. The weapon that he just drew out dropped back into the scabbard.
Lan Feichen endured the pain. As he watched the fist closing on his ear, he quickly clenched his left fist and punched quickly without much time to gather Quintessence.

When the two fists clashed, sounds of cracking bones rang out. Before Xiao Chen’s seven hundred and fifty tons of force, the small amount of Quintessence Lan Feichen gathered was sadly lacking. His left hand was immediately crippled.
This time, Lan Feichen could no longer endure the pain. He screamed loudly. Xiao Chen did not bother looking at him anymore. He swung his hand and used a backhand slap to swat him away.
Lan Feichen’s teeth shattered, and he vomited blood as he fell to the ground.
Lan Feichen’s right wrist was broken; the bones in his left hand were shattered. Despite him still not having used his Quintessence, he actually could no longer stand up.
One palm saber, one punch, and one slap. Xiao Chen crippled Lan Feichen in three moves. All this happened in the time it took for a spark to fly. It was so fast, it was unbelievable.
Yu Zhiqiang and the other three had just landed from being knocked back by Xiao Chen’s aura. By the time they reacted, it was already too late.
“Attack together! Don’t hold back!”
Horror flashed in Yu Zhiqiang’s eyes. He quickly drew a sword and charged at Xiao Chen at lightning speed.
“Flying Hundred Flowers!”
“Blood Light Sword!”
“Wishful Clear Sky Saber!”
The other three people drew their weapons as well. They used their strong Quintessence and executed their best moves. Instantly, the air burst out in brilliant lights. The air filled with killing intent, locking down on Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen smiled gently, and two dragon roars resounded in his chest. Two more Azure Dragon images appeared around him, and he used the Azure Dragon Tail Whip, moving through the air in an arc.
A strong wind blew, and a dragon roared as it searched for an opening. Then, it easily weaved through the four’s encirclement. The Azure Dragon image under Xiao Chen spiraled and carried him higher.
“After him!”
Seeing Xiao Chen escape, Yu Zhiqiang shouted coldly as he leaped up, holding his sword and sending four rainbow-colored lights at Xiao Chen.
When Xiao Chen reached a certain altitude, he stopped climbing. He did not fear the four of them surrounding him. However, there were more paths of escape in the air, which made it easier for him to dodge.
Xiao Chen did not rush to draw his Lunar Shadow Saber. When he saw Yu Zhiqiang, who flew up first, Xiao Chen shaped his left hand into a claw and his right hand into a fist.
As Vital Qi circulated, he used Berserk Dragon on both hands simultaneously. The dragon head on his right fist roared, and a dragon claw appeared over his left claw. The head connected to the tail, forming a complete Azure Dragon.
“Berserk Dragon Break!”
Xiao Chen attacked the approaching Yu Zhiqiang without holding back.
The Azure Dragon formed of pure Vital Qi flickered with light and glared ferociously with its eyes. Light shone everywhere, and as it bared fangs and claws, it gave off a boundlessly imperious and startling aura.
“How arrogant! Unexpectedly, you dare to use only your Vital Qi to fight your opponent. Do you think my cultivation is just decoration?!”
Yu Zhiqiang laughed coldly. A green glow spread throughout his sword, and his vast Quintessence gathered into a ten-meter-long green sword light.
A thick aura of earth permeated the sword light, giving the sharp sword Qi a firm and dense quality, making it more substantial.
It was easy to tell that Yu Zhiqiang had significant achievements in the state of earth.
“Ka ca!”
The flickering sword light chopped the approaching Azure Dragon in two. However, the dragon head did not shatter as he had expected. Instead, it continued rushing at him while roaring ferociously.
Yu Zhiqiang’s complexion changed slightly. He had no other choice but to attack one more time to chop the dragon head in half.
Using the time gained, Xiao Chen rode the Azure Dragon image and arrived two meters before Yu Zhiqiang. Then, he sent out eighty-one punches.
The punches contained boundless Vital Qi. A string of explosions rang out continuously. Space trembled as fist shadows flickered.
Xiao Chen was not riding just one Azure Dragon. There were still two other Azure Dragons floating beside him. Not only did his speed increase significantly, but he also became far more flexible. This allowed him to send out dozens of punches at Yu Zhiqiang’s side.
Xiao Chen moved gracefully and silently to behind Yu Zhiqiang, sending another few dozens of punches at his back as well.
Although Yu Zhiqiang had the advantage in Quintessence, he could not keep up with Xiao Chen’s speed. Xiao Chen immediately forced him into a fluster, and Yu Zhiqiang could only defend passively, unable to counterattack.
When the other three saw this, they quickly rushed forward to support him. However, Xiao Chen did not get greedy. He merely smiled and went far away, leaving an afterimage.
“Azure Dragon Tail Whip!”
Before the others could catch their breath and look for where Xiao Chen went, another gust blew. Three Azure Dragons roared within the strong wind; their aura was shocking.
When the dragons roared and the strong wind stopped, the faction leaders found Xiao Chen beside the rightmost, Feng Wuheng.
Feng Wuheng was slightly weaker than Yu Zhiqiang. Facing Xiao Chen’s devastating punches, he did not have the fortitude to endure the assault and could only deal with them impatiently.
In Feng Wuheng’s frenzy, an opening quickly appeared. Xiao Chen smiled faintly, but he still did not get greedy, because the other three people had reacted.
The Azure Dragon image below Xiao Chen’s feet dipped again, moving around smoothly and not giving the four a chance to surround him.
Another strong wind blew, and Xiao Chen headed for the leftmost Bai Zihao. Again, he used that overwhelming flurry of punches and moved tracelessly, using his advantage in speed to throw innumerable punches.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The sky trembled and the clouds scattered. Loud rumbles resounded like thunder rolling without end.
Those on the sidelines could only see Xiao Chen enveloped in the three Azure Dragons moving up and down as he sent out countless punches. Each punch carried seven hundred and fifty tons of force, enough to shatter mountains.
