Chapter 109: A Night Rendezvous with Jian Xiong, Revenge on Blazing Dragon Valley
Azure Cloud Sect.
Azure Cloud Peak.
Upon seeing Zhou Chen, Jian Xiong’s previously still heart lake suddenly rippled, past events surfacing one after another.
Gu Chang Ying felt a mix of emotions. Last year, out of curiosity, she had stumbled upon Zhou Chen killing Yang Fan. As a result, she was controlled by Zhou Chen and lost her virginity to him.
Fortunately, during this past year, Zhou Chen hadn’t sought her out nor asked her to do anything. She had continued her life as usual, which was quite comfortable.
Only, after today, she wondered if her future life could still be as peaceful as before.
As last year, after a brief exchange, everyone arrived at the martial arts plaza.
Duanmu Kun was still the first to jump onto the stage. He looked towards the Azure Cloud Sect’s True Inheritance Disciples and arrogantly declared, “I heard Azure Cloud has produced a peerless genius, Zhou Chen. Do you dare to fight me?”
“Looking for me right off the bat?”
Zhou Chen was a little surprised, but it was within reason.
Although he hadn’t ventured outside this past year, his fame wasn’t small at all, even catching up to the two Senior Sisters listed on the Hundred Flowers Ranking.
Especially after he became the third True Inheritance Disciple, he was praised as the once-in-a-millennium peerless prodigy of the Azure Cloud Sect, on par with the Azure Cloud Ancestor.
After all, Zhou Chen had only joined the sect for two years. His cultivation speed was truly too fast.
“Looks like your luck isn’t good this year!”
Zhou Chen slowly jumped onto the stage. Looking at Duanmu Kun, who was arrogant and wanted to use him to gain fame, he said with sympathy.
Last year, Duanmu Kun’s first opponent was Deng Yi Qiang, and he was still able to win one match.
This year, challenging him would only have one outcome:
A crushing defeat!
As for Deng Yi Qiang, including Li Fei Hong and other True Inheritance Disciples of Black Dragon Peak, because of Li Shen Tong’s betrayal of the Azure Cloud Sect, they were all stripped of their True Inheritance Disciple identities and sent out to handle miscellaneous tasks.
On the day they were sent out, Zhou Chen secretly left the Azure Cloud Sect, went down the mountain, and wiped them all out. Even their ashes were scattered.
Since they were enemies, only dead enemies were good enemies.
When the Azure Cloud Sect received the news, they only conducted a simple investigation and eventually dropped the matter.
“Arrogant!”
Seeing Zhou Chen’s nonchalant appearance, as if he didn’t take him seriously at all, Duanmu Kun was furious. He drew his sword.
Whoosh!
Duanmu Kun moved. His entire person was like an unsheathed sharp sword, swiftly charging towards Zhou Chen.
In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two was less than ten meters.
“Heartless Slash!”
The distorted sword light seemed slow but was actually fast, cold and merciless, as if the person in front of him, even if they were his parents, wife, children, siblings, should be split in half with a single sword strike.
No regrets once the sword is drawn.
No mercy once the sword is drawn.
Charging forward with unwavering determination.
“Fancy tricks!”
Zhou Chen flicked his finger. Accompanied by a crisp sword cry, Duanmu Kun suddenly felt a huge tremor transmitted through his sword.
His tiger’s mouth cracked, and his sword flew out of his hand.
“How is this possible?”
He had thought he would lose, but he didn’t expect to lose so miserably. Zhou Chen only flicked his finger and broke his Heartless Slash, sending his sword flying.
A swordsman who couldn’t even hold his sword, was there anything more pathetic than this?
Bang!
Zhou Chen lifted his leg and kicked. Duanmu Kun felt a pain in his chest, spitting blood as he flew off the stage.
“Truly formidable!”
Jian Ling Tian, the Sect Master of Heavenly Sword Sect, narrowed his eyes. He hadn’t expected Duanmu Kun to defeat Zhou Chen, only wanting to test Zhou Chen’s strength.
Unexpectedly, he didn’t manage to probe anything.
Only four words:
Unfathomable!
Zhou Chen had integrated one hundred and eighty-four martial arts into one. When wielding a saber, he was a Saber Immortal; when wielding a sword, he was a Sword Immortal. He could use any martial art at will.
Not to mention Duanmu Kun, even Jian Xiong and Gu Chang Ying were no match for him.
Zhou Chen’s opponents were no longer these disciples of the same generation, or rather, not comparable to these geniuses at the prefecture level.
“Jian Xiong, are you confident?”
Jian Ling Tian asked via voice transmission.
“Not an opponent!”
Jian Xiong replied succinctly.
“Later, you directly challenge Shi Qing Xuan, aim for a draw!”
Jian Ling Tian thought for a moment and came up with an idea.
Moreover, Zhou Chen was the third True Inheritance Disciple in the Azure Cloud Sect.
Wouldn’t it be normal for Jian Xiong, as the top disciple of Heavenly Sword Sect, to challenge Shi Qing Xuan, the first True Inheritance Disciple?
“Okay!”
Jian Xiong didn’t say more. At this moment, another newly promoted disciple of Heavenly Sword Sect went on stage and was also defeated by Zhou Chen in one move.
Then, Gu Chang Ying stepped onto the stage.
Looking at this increasingly mature and alluring beauty, Zhou Chen’s mind automatically conjured up images of her without clothes.
He even felt a bit excited!
“Gu Chang Ying of Heavenly Sword Sect, please advise!”
“Zhou Chen, Azure Cloud Sect!”
This time, Zhou Chen gave Gu Chang Ying some face, playing with her for dozens of moves before striking her chest with a claw, knocking her off the stage.
“Senior Brother Zhou is mighty!”
“Senior Brother Zhou is mighty!”
Seeing Zhou Chen win three consecutive victories, the Azure Cloud Sect disciples were in high spirits, shouting excitedly.
“I’ve expended quite a bit. I’ll leave the rest to Senior Sister!”
Zhou Chen jumped off the stage.
Jian Xiong was his woman after all. Zhou Chen wanted to give her some face.
“Zhou Chen is so good to Senior Sister!”
Gu Chang Ying felt envious in her heart, thinking of being captured by Zhou Chen last year.
She was the third goddess on the Hundred Flowers Ranking, after all.
A bicycle that others would carry on their shoulders, reluctant to ride, was directly ridden by Zhou Chen.
Swish!
Jian Xiong leapt onto the stage and said to Shi Qing Xuan, “We didn’t determine a victor in our battle last year. Let’s continue today!”
“Alright!”
Shi Qing Xuan’s body was light and agile, as graceful as a flying swan, landing like a feather opposite Jian Xiong.
As the Senior Sister of the Azure Cloud Sect, she wouldn’t back down.
Two beauties dueling.
It had to be said that Shi Qing Xuan had worked very hard these past two years. It seemed she also had the full support of the Sect Master. Shi Qing Xuan’s progress was rapid.
Even though Li Chang Hen had Zhou Chen’s support behind her, she was only on par with Shi Qing Xuan.
Now, both of them had reached the Sixteenth Transformation.
Jian Xiong wasn’t bad either.
Having cultivated the unparalleled divine art, Heaven-Supporting Sword, to a certain level, she had a slight advantage over Shi Qing Xuan. But defeating Shi Qing Xuan wasn’t that easy either.
The final result was the same as last year:
A draw!
Jian Ling Tian and his group temporarily stayed at the Azure Cloud Sect.
Night fell, like a black velvet curtain, slowly swallowing the daytime hustle and bustle.
As the lights came on, they adorned the myriad households. In this silent night, they were like stars falling to earth, igniting people’s yearning for warmth.
Zhou Chen, like a rat stealing oil, quietly arrived outside Jian Xiong’s door.
“Gu Chang Ying is also here? Could she have guessed I would come?”
Zhou Chen was pleasantly surprised. He gently knocked on the door.
“Jian Xiong, open the door!”
Creak.
The door opened. Zhou Chen instantly slipped into the room, locked the door behind him, scooped up Jian Xiong, and kissed her.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, especially after being apart for a year.
“Mmm!”
Jian Xiong’s eyes widened. She didn’t expect Zhou Chen to be so passionate.
Moreover, without Zhou Chen this past year, although she occasionally missed him, she had focused on practicing her swordsmanship and suddenly felt a little unaccustomed.
Her body stiffened.
However, with Zhou Chen’s skillful hands, it only took a few moves for Jian Xiong to melt into his embrace.
Gu Chang Ying stared with her beautiful eyes, looking like a spectator enjoying the show.
“You come here too!”
Zhou Chen pulled Gu Chang Ying over, hoisted both of them onto his shoulders, and threw them onto the bed.
The night deepened.
The starry sky began to bloom with its beauty, like countless pearls inlaid on a black curtain, twinkling with a mysterious light.
Gu Chang Ying lay on the bed, her eyes gazing back at Zhou Chen with a hint of resentment, “Young Master only knows how to manipulate us…”
Zhou Chen chuckled, patted Gu Chang Ying’s perky buttocks, and said, “Chang Ying, do you know there are Three Thousand Great Daos, each with its own profound and charming allure?”
“As cultivators, how can we be confined to just one path?”
Zhou Chen wanted to cultivate the Three Thousand Great Daos, comprehend the ultimate mysteries of the Dao. Perhaps he could ascend in broad daylight like the Yellow Emperor!
Jian Xiong, at the side, twitched her lips. Her understanding of the Dao was overturned.
Zhou Chen was helping her cultivate the Dao!
Cultivating the Dao knows no time.
A day passed quietly.
Zhou Chen looked at Jian Xiong, who embraced him, and Gu Chang Ying, whose eyes were filled with tears and a hint of resentment. He lowered his head and kissed their cheeks affectionately, “I’ll go to Heavenly Sword Sect to see you in a while!”
“Coming again?”
Gu Chang Ying’s body trembled, feeling a faint pain somewhere.
Jian Xiong frowned slightly. She wasn’t worried about Zhou Chen doing things to her, but about his safety. However, she didn’t stop or refuse him.
She took out a small sword and handed it to Zhou Chen, “When you arrive at Heavenly Sword City, leave this sword at the Seventh Pawnshop. I’ll know you’ve arrived!”
“Okay!”
Zhou Chen took the sword, kissed her soft lips, and smiled, “Don’t worry. You know my abilities, don’t you?”
“You should go!”
Jian Xiong said.
It was dawn. They had to set off later and couldn’t sleep in.
They still needed some time to recover.
Last night, Zhou Chen had been too wild, and she and Gu Chang Ying had been too happy to close their mouths.
If they didn’t recover and clean up, they would definitely be noticed.
“Okay, but I’ll help you!”
Zhou Chen got out of bed and used his Thunderclap Wish-Fulfilling Hand to erase all traces he had left on Jian Xiong and Gu Chang Ying.
“Goodbye!”
After a final kiss goodbye to each of them, Zhou Chen vanished from the room.
After Jian Xiong and Gu Chang Ying got up and tidied themselves, they left the Azure Cloud Sect with Jian Ling Tian and the others. This time,
No one stayed behind.
Last year, Yang Fan had stayed behind and mysteriously disappeared. No one knew whether he was alive or dead. Jian Ling Tian didn’t dare to let them stay behind again.
…
Divine Arrow Peak.
Red Dust Residence.
Zhou Chen told Qin Hong Yu, Celestial Fragrance Fairy, Zhao Shi Rong, Yu You Wei, Li Qing Xia, and Gu Qiu Shui about his plan to go out and train.
“Brother Chen, you must be careful outside. I’ll wait for you to come back!”
“Don’t worry. I can’t bear to leave you all either!”
Zhou Chen comforted them, then went to Spirit Medicine Peak.
He first went to settle Mu Ling Er, then went to his aunt’s room.
“Aunt, did you miss me?”
Zhou Chen picked up Cheng Su Su, parted her legs, and sat her on his lap.
“Miss you, my foot!”
Cheng Su Su snorted, glaring at Zhou Chen, “You just finished bullying Ling Er, and now you’re here!”
“I also want to have both Aunt and Ling Er together, but Aunt, you don’t agree!”
Zhou Chen looked innocent and aggrieved.
“You’re dreaming!”
Cheng Su Su sternly warned Zhou Chen, “If you dare to let Ling Er know about our affair, don’t blame me for slaying the dragon!”
Hiss!
Zhou Chen shuddered, tightening his grip, “Aunt, don’t you even want your own happiness anymore?”
“Be gentle… Mmm…”
Zhou Chen stayed in Cheng Su Su’s room for the whole night, only leaving after the sun was high in the sky the next day.
“He really is a troublesome little rascal…”
Looking at Zhou Chen’s departing figure, Cheng Su Su shook her head. Wasn’t it because Zhou Chen could quickly become stronger by simply playing with women?
She didn’t know why Zhou Chen suddenly wanted to go out and train.
Now, many people outside suspected that Zhou Chen had secret treasures that allowed him to cultivate so quickly. They were all thinking of robbing Zhou Chen to obtain his secrets.
“But it’s good to train. A martial artist without trials, no matter how talented, will ultimately not go far…”
Cheng Su Su stopped thinking about it and cleaned herself up.
That rascal Zhou Chen had even… her chest…
…
Azure Cloud Peak.
Qing Yu Yao didn’t stop him. She only gave Zhou Chen three more Sword Talismans, “Be careful yourself!”
“Yes!”
Zhou Chen returned to Divine Arrow Peak one last time to bid farewell to his master, senior sister, Qin Hong Yu, and the others, then quietly left Divine Arrow Peak alone.
Only the people on Divine Arrow Peak and Qing Yu Yao, Cheng Su Su, and Mu Ling Er knew about Zhou Chen’s departure. The rest of the Azure Cloud Sect was unaware.
Zhou Chen rarely appeared in public. Even if he didn’t show up for a long time, no disciple would suspect he had gone out. They would only assume he was enjoying himself at home.
…
Outside Azure Cloud City.
“Blazing Dragon Valley, here I come!”
Zhou Chen’s figure transformed, his muscles rippling. His entire temperament changed drastically. From a handsome young master, he became a middle-aged black-clothed swordsman with a fierce aura.
Among the numerous martial arts he had cultivated, there was one called the Hundred Transformations Soft Bone Art.
As a high-level martial art, although the Hundred Transformations Soft Bone Art wasn’t strong in terms of attack power, it was extremely versatile, especially for disguise.
After mastering this martial art, even a three-meter-tall man could transform into a three-year-old child.
Moreover, this transformation involved the muscles and bones of the whole body. Even those with high martial arts skills would find it difficult to see through the disguise.
However, cultivators mainly recognized people by their aura, and the Hundred Transformations Soft Bone Art also had the effect of changing one’s aura, but it wasn’t as good as the Deceiving the Heavens and Crossing the Sea Supernatural Ability.
This martial art, combined with Deceiving the Heavens and Crossing the Sea, was truly flawless.
Even if Zhou Chen stood in front of Li Chang Feng, Qing Yu Yao, and the others at this moment, they wouldn’t recognize him.
Zhou Chen suppressed the intensity of his aura to the level of Ninth Level of Body Refinement: Complete Mastery. This level of cultivation was enough to easily travel through various prefectures.
After all, even Bai Gui Nong, the Law Enforcement Elder of the Salt Gang, a major gang in the prefecture, was only at the ordinary Ninth Level of Body Refinement.
“Let’s go!”
Zhou Chen bought a top-grade single-horned horse, whipped his horse, and headed towards Blazing Dragon Valley.
Blazing Dragon Valley was in Desert Prefecture.
Desert Prefecture was adjacent to Qingyun Prefecture. It wasn’t far, but it wasn’t close either, especially since taking the official road required detours.
As for taking shortcuts through uninhabited forests, even with Zhou Chen’s high martial arts skills, he was unwilling to take the risk.
Uninhabited forests were prone to encounters with powerful demon beasts.
But the most terrifying things were not demon beasts, but the eerie and inexplicable.
Traveling day and night, Zhou Chen arrived at Yong’an City, a county city south of Desert Prefecture, a week later.
“Rest for a night, and I can reach Blazing Dragon City tomorrow!”
Blazing Dragon City, similar to Azure Cloud City, was a large city formed due to the presence of Blazing Dragon Valley. Its scale was no smaller than Azure Cloud City.
Zhou Chen walked through Yong’an City, appreciating the local customs and practices.
Riding a horse, leaning against a bridge,
A building full of red sleeves beckoning.
“Red Sleeve Workshop?”
Zhou Chen’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“I’ve found tonight’s lodging!”
He had heard that this kind of place was very deep, and Zhou Chen’s favorite thing was to go in and test its depth.
“Oh, Master, please come inside!”
As soon as Zhou Chen entered the Red Sleeve Workshop, a girl greeted him enthusiastically.
Although this was a county city, Zhou Chen felt it wasn’t much worse than Celestial Fairy Restaurant.
Taking out a silver ingot and stuffing it into the girl’s bosom, Zhou Chen said boldly, “Call the best girls here. I want to fight ten!”
Now, the one thing Zhou Chen wasn’t lacking was money.
“Master, please wait a moment!”
The girl led Zhou Chen into a private room, and someone went to call other girls.
A moment later,
A group of beautiful women gracefully entered. Although they couldn’t compare to Zhou Chen’s women, they were still attractive.
When traveling, finding a place to relax one’s feet, there was no need to be too demanding.
The night passed.
The ten girls who served Zhou Chen were all exhausted.
When the madam came in and saw this, she felt a pang of heartache. They had truly suffered a loss.
These girls were clearly unable to receive guests today.
“He looks fierce and menacing, truly not a good thing. Since it’s not his own, he really uses it to death!”
The madam cursed inwardly, while Zhou Chen had already mounted his horse and set off towards Blazing Dragon City.
The sun set in the west.
Zhou Chen, riding his horse, looked at the large city ahead and let out a long breath.
“Finally arrived!”
Zhou Chen entered the city, rented a courtyard, and settled down temporarily.
By the time he had settled in, it was already dark. Zhou Chen went to Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion, the most bustling place in Blazing Dragon City.
He discovered that Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion was even grander and more lively than Celestial Fairy Restaurant.
The girls here were equally charming.
“Not bad, not bad!”
Zhou Chen was very satisfied and called for two beautiful women to accompany him.
“We are Qiu Xiang( and Qiu Yue), greetings, Master!”
The two beauties bowed gracefully.
Zhou Chen paid no attention, patted his thigh, and gestured for them to sit on him.
With the warmth and fragrance of jade in his arms, Zhou Chen observed secretly.
“Congratulations to Senior Brother Long for mastering your divine art. You’ll definitely enter the top ten True Inheritance Disciples this year!”
“Congratulations to Senior Brother Long…”
Zhou Chen’s powerful divine sense detected several young men with vigorous Qi and blood in the private room upstairs. With one look, he knew they were Blazing Dragon Valley disciples.
This was like finding Azure Cloud Sect disciples in Celestial Fairy Restaurant, very easy.
“Senior Brother Long? According to the information I’ve gathered, this person should be Long Fei Kong, who ranked fourteenth among True Inheritance Disciples last year, the grandson of Long Xiao Tian, the Vice Sect Master of Blazing Dragon Valley!”
“Might as well just get him!”
Zhou Chen instantly made a decision. Long Fei Kong had an extraordinary status. Killing him and then disguising himself as him would make it very convenient to move around in Blazing Dragon Valley.
“Master, we offer you a toast!”
Qiu Xiang snuggled into Zhou Chen’s arms, wriggled her body, and raised her wine cup to Zhou Chen’s lips.
“Okay!”
Zhou Chen drained the cup in one gulp, wrapped his arms around their waists, and smiled, “Let’s go back to the room!”
“Master is really impatient!”
Qiu Yue teased, her face blushing, as if she were a newly married girl.
Her acting was so natural, countless times better than those big stars from his previous life.
Carrying the two back to the room, Zhou Chen spent half an hour knocking them unconscious.
However, he wasn’t reassured and used his methods to make them fall into a deep sleep, ensuring they wouldn’t wake up until dawn.
And at this time,
According to Zhou Chen’s sensing, Long Fei Kong and his group had finished drinking. The other disciples had left the private room, leaving only Long Fei Kong and two beautiful and delicate top courtesans!
Zhou Chen used Deceiving the Heavens and Crossing the Sea to become invisible, then used the Wall-Penetrating Technique.
To be absolutely safe,
Zhou Chen spent a million Romance Points to upgrade various spells: Sword Control Technique, Fire Dragon Technique, Wall-Penetrating Technique, Fire Dragon Escape, Earth Escape Technique, Soul Searching Technique, Soul Capturing Technique, Illusionary Spirit Technique…
This allowed him to maximize his Immortal Path cultivation.
The top floor, the Supreme Private Room.
Long Fei Kong embraced the two stunning courtesans, threw them onto the bed, and pounced on them.
“Illusionary Spirit!”
Zhou Chen, invisible, appeared in the private room, his Foundation Establishment: Complete Mastery level powerful soul unleashing a soul secret technique!
Invisible soul power fluctuations surged.
Long Fei Kong and the two courtesans silently fell into an illusion.
Facing an absolute difference in strength, Long Fei Kong, a Body Refinement: Eighth Transformation martial artist, was easily manipulated by Zhou Chen, wasn’t he?
Ji Feng Xia and Liu Ru Yi appeared. One was responsible for sealing the room, preventing any sound from escaping, the other for keeping watch.
Zhou Chen picked up Long Fei Kong like a chick, purple light flickering in his eyes,
“Soul Search!”
