That smile was as bright as fire.
Those lips were as red as blood.
They met the eyes of the Great Elder.
Comparable to a Shura emerging from hell.
No!
It was a Shura who had broken free from hell!
And intended to take his life!
The Great Elder’s gaze towards Ming Zheng was filled with terror.
That aged, gray face.
Little by little, it became shrouded in death.
He hadn’t expected Chi Xian to have such a powerful helper.
Not only had Chi Zonghan miscalculated.
He, too, had miscalculated.
No wonder Chi Xian dared to act so unscrupulously.
He hadn't even shown half a shred of doubt regarding his seclusion.
It was all because of this woman!
The Great Elder’s brow furrowed.
Then, he abruptly retreated.
With a sweep of his sleeve.
Those brought by Chi Zonghan were sent flying like kites with broken strings, soaring towards Ming Zheng.
As for himself, he formed a hand seal.
From his other sleeve, something flew out.
It was round and golden.
Covered with dense symbols on its surface.
The instant it was thrown.
The disc burst forth with brilliant golden rays of light.
The Great Elder leaped onto the disc.
Propelling the disc, he intended to flee.
"Bang!"
A series of heavy thuds echoed as objects hit the ground.
Those who had lunged at Ming Zheng were sent flying backward.
And the direction they were sent flying…
Was all towards the Great Elder!
Ming Zheng stood still.
She hadn’t moved an inch.
Before her, a man stood tall and elegant, slowly retracting his long, straight legs.
He turned his head, his profile exquisitely sculpted, like flawless jade.
"You worked hard, Zheng Bao."
His thin lips curved slightly.
Blooming like rose petals.
Making his profile even more captivating and bewitching.
Ming Zheng blinked.
What?
Did he not need her to act?
Chi Xian, without turning, seemed to hear the question in Ming Zheng's heart.
He chuckled in a low, husky voice, "Zheng Bao’s beautiful hands are not meant to be stained with blood."
The moment he spoke.
His figure, like a slender bamboo, vanished from Ming Zheng's sight.
On the other side.
The Great Elder, controlling the disc as he ascended into the sky, dodged the martial artists kicked by Chi Xian.
He turned his head.
And glanced at Ming Zheng.
A chilling, sinister laugh escaped his lips. "Young lady, don't celebrate too soon. As long as you are Chi Xian's woman, I will come for you sooner or later!"
With that said.
He formed a hand seal.
And prepared to fly away with the disc.
But as he turned his head.
He was met by a pair of deep, ink-like eyes.
Those eyes were cold and sharp, radiating an aura of dominance and nobility befitting someone at the pinnacle of the world.
The Great Elder's heart lurched.
Chi Xian!
How could he catch up to his artifact?
No!
How could Chi Xian… how could he…
Be standing in mid-air!
Yes.
Chi Xian was standing in mid-air, meeting his gaze.
He himself was using an artifact to remain airborne.
His artifact was incredibly fast, capable of exceeding the speed of an airplane.
The Great Elder deliberately scanned Chi Xian.
He did not find any artifact beneath Chi Xian's feet.
Which meant…
Chi Xian had achieved flight solely through his own power!
Could it be…
That Chi Xian's strength had already reached the Celestial Profound Realm?
This realization.
Caused the Great Elder's expression to change drastically.
An indescribable fear inexplicably surged within him!
"Great Elder, I believe… you may not have another chance to harass my Zheng Bao."
Chi Xian met the Great Elder's gaze, his thin lips parting nonchalantly.
Then.
He lifted his foot.
And kicked the Great Elder squarely in the abdomen.
The action was clean and swift, with an air of arrogant dominance.
There was nothing superfluous about it.
"Ahhh!"
The Great Elder felt as if his internal organs were being torn apart.
He rolled off the disc.
His body crashed onto the ground.
He coughed up a large amount of bloody fluid.
His body trembled and contorted slightly on the ground.
His eyes, wide with shock and disbelief, were staring intently.
Fixedly, without blinking, staring straight at Chi Xian.
His mouth, opening and closing, stained with blood, could only faintly emit a whisper, "You… you have such great audacity! I am… I am the Great Elder of the Chi family… You dare to touch me…"
With every word he uttered.
Thick, viscous blood would spill from his mouth.
His mouth, his neck, his entire body was soaked in blood.
And the man, like a celestial being, remained suspended in the air, looking down at the Great Elder with his condescending aura.
His deep, ink-black eyes were clear and tranquil.
"Great Elder, I believe you’ve forgotten one thing."
Chi Xian smiled.
But the Great Elder could feel the bone-chilling aura emanating from Chi Xian.
His pupils involuntarily trembled.
His gaze towards Chi Xian was like that of a demon.
"The position of the Chi family’s Elder exists because I permit its existence."
"If I do not permit it…"
"You are nothing."
"Understand?"
As he spoke the last two words.
The smile on Chi Xian's lips deepened.
He suddenly leaped down from mid-air.
Lifting his foot, he brought it down onto the Great Elder's chest.
The force of his descent from a great height.
Caused the Great Elder to spew even more blood.
The intense pain made the Great Elder emit a sharp, piercing scream.
His eyes were wide open.
His pupils nearly bulging out of their sockets.
With this kick.
Chi Xian directly destroyed his Dantian.
And ravaged his internal organs.
Rendering him, completely and utterly, a cripple!
"Take him away."
Chi Xian's expression was so calm, he didn't seem to consider his actions as terrifying at all.
He kicked out.
And sent the Great Elder, who was trembling, writhing, and howling in pain on the ground, towards Si Qi and Si Lin.
"Yes!"
Si Qi immediately reached out and grabbed the Great Elder.
Si Lin also scurried over to Chi Zonghan and lifted him up.
With the Great Elder captured.
Those brought by Chi Zonghan dared not resist any further.
What a joke!
The moment the Chi family patriarch had acted.
Even the Great Elder was no match for him.
Let alone…
The Chi family patriarch's woman standing right there!
What if the couple unleashed a combined attack?
Would they even survive?
Naturally, they would…
Surrender immediately!
The farce thus came to an end.
Ming Zheng crossed her arms, her gaze fixed on Chi Xian.
A faint curve bloomed in her eyes.
Like tiny stars adorning her pupils.
Troublemaker…
He looked truly handsome like this.
A man who was both good-looking and powerful was rarely found in this world.
As Ming Zheng was sighing inwardly.
Her arm was suddenly held tightly.
She was drawn into a broad embrace.
Her body lightened, her feet lifting off the ground.
She was being carried in a princess hold by Chi Xian!
"Chi Xian!"
Ming Zheng leaned into the man's embrace, his sandalwood scent filling her nostrils.
She glared at him with her eyes.
But the man seemed to hear nothing.
After lifting her.
His figure flickered.
And he vanished into a room.
As the door closed,
the surroundings grew dim.
The man’s top-tier divine visage magnified in her pupils at close range.
Ming Zheng: "..."
Wait!
The charm offensive won't work!
