"High Priest!"

Manluo Sha immediately bowed respectfully to the other party, after all, this was the High Priest of their Holy Sect, it was her duty as the junior to pay respects.

"This person injured my brother, please allow me to take him back to the Royal Family, let my father handle him personally!"

She feared that the High Priest, in his wrath, would kill Chen Xiao.

The High Priest sneered, "Princess, this person wreaked havoc in my Nissan Family, killed so many of my juniors, and stomped on the dignity of my Nissan Family, you say to take him away and let your family handle him, isn’t that inappropriate?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Manluo Sha argued vigorously, "Senior, my brother as a royal descendant was injured by this person, where does that leave the dignity of the Royal Family? Therefore, he should be handed over to our Royal Family to deal with!"

"Otherwise, if my father places blame, I won’t be able to explain this matter to him."

"Is the dignity of the Nissan Family more important, or is the dignity of our Royal Family more important?"

The elder snorted coldly, releasing a chilling aura, "If the Princess is worried about explaining, just speak to King Yin frankly."

"Just say I executed this person on the spot, you didn’t have the chance to take him back for your Royal Family to handle, surely, King Yin will understand my actions."

Hearing this, Manluo Sha’s face turned even more unsightly!

After taking a deep breath, she wanted to say something, but the elder interrupted coldly, "Princess, you repeatedly obstruct my slaying him, are you perhaps trying to shelter this person?"

"You are not only a Royal Princess, but also the future Holy Daughter of our Holy Sect! The coronation ceremony is about to take place, you must not destroy your reputation!"

"If word gets out that the Princess protects a man, it won’t bode well for your image!"

Manluo Sha was speechless, she could only sneak a glance at Chen Xiao, and then said, "I only fear that if the senior fights him, it might take a while to subdue him, and he might take hostages to leave this place."

The word "hostage" was emphasized heavily, and she subtly signaled Chen Xiao with her eyes.

Currently, the only solution is for Chen Xiao to decisively take her hostage and leave, after all, the High Priest’s strength was inscrutable back then, if a real fight breaks out, she fears Chen Xiao is not a match and would be killed by him!

And Chen Xiao coldly stared at the elder, "Are you the biggest reliance of the Nissan Family? If you want to kill me, then come on, let me see if you have that power!"

"Impudent young brat!" The High Priest’s staff struck the ground fiercely!

"Crack——" The ground split open, a Qi Force surged straight at Chen Xiao, the ominous aura felt like a cold poisoned knife coming at him.

Chen Xiao’s figure leapt away, dodging the fierce attack.

In the next moment, the High Priest’s aged body disappeared on the spot!

When he appeared again, his staff was already striking at Chen Xiao, the ominous Qi Force turned tangible, several serpents formed of Qi Force opened their mouths and charged at Chen Xiao!

Chen Xiao wielded the Fish Intestine Sword in a slicing motion.

Explosions erupted.

Bang bang bang——

The giant serpents formed by the Qi Force were shattered by his sharp sword, and then the Fish Intestine Sword in his hand collided fiercely with the opponent’s staff!

The Qi Force exploded, turning into a ripple.

Both of them stepped back two or three steps.

And those rampant Qi Forces, the shockwave sent those nearby flying.

"Quite powerful!" The High Priest’s face grew serious, this young man’s strength was even stronger than he imagined, capable of matching him evenly! To know that with his strength, it was absolutely no problem to crush most Half-step Grandmasters, only those truly reaching the Mortal Martial Saint level would threaten him!

And obviously, this young man’s strength far exceeded that of a typical Half-step Grandmaster!

He shouted, his hunched figure suddenly straightened, the ominous killing aura surged forth like a tide, making the onlookers feel as if an icy hand was grasping their throats, even breathing became a challenge!

Then, the staff in his hand turned into a phantom, fiercely striking at Chen Xiao, the dense shadow of sticks enveloped Chen Xiao, each blow was terrifying enough to instantly kill anyone below the Half-step Grandmaster!

Yet, how could Chen Xiao be suppressed by him?

"Old fool, if you were thirty or forty years younger, perhaps dealing with you would be challenging! But now you forcibly push into the Martial Saint Realm, with hidden injuries and declining vitality, to kill a worn-out fool like you won’t take me more than five seconds!"

Hearing this, the High Priest grew angrier, as though receiving some kind of humiliation, "Brat, I will definitely use my Snake Head Wand to smash you into a pulp!"

Then, he began muttering incantations.

It was like reciting a spell.

Manluo Sha panicked completely, she recognized this incantation wasn’t simple, it was the Holy Sect’s exclusive secret, only transmitted to each generation’s High Priest, the Summoning God Spell!

With the augmentation of the spell, the cultivator’s strength would temporarily soar!

This would put Chen Xiao in danger.

Chen Xiao shouted, his moves became broader and fiercer, filled with killing intent!

The High Priest was forced to retreat continuously.

But a strange light began to emanate from his body, and once the incantation was complete, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, the Snake Head Wand in his hand emitted a black light, it gently hummed, he yelled, and suddenly infused all his power, his aged body jumped, raising the Snake Head Wand for a fierce smash!

The wind roared, like an eerie giant snake flickering its tongue, the path formed by the Snake Head Wand turned into a black python, opening its mouth to bite at Chen Xiao!

Chen Xiao also utilized his internal Spiritual Power, suddenly pouring all his strength into the sharp sword, fiercely cleaving at the Snake Head Wand!

The grim python and Fish Intestine Sword collided fiercely, the shockwave shattered all the surrounding tables and chairs! As waves of mighty power spread out circle by circle, many people in the hall were swept away and spat blood out at once!

One second, two seconds...

After a brief stalemate of two seconds, the giant python’s shadow shattered instantly, the Snake Head Wand in the High Priest’s hand flew out! His entire aged body slammed into the ground ten meters away...

The ancestor, defeated?!

Everyone of the Nissan Family showed disbelief, their eyes full of reluctance!

Their ancestor was defeated, their last hope was gone.

The High Priest shakily got up, just lifted his head when a sword light struck!

"Pch——"

He was decapitated and fell.

Chen Xiao expressionlessly sheathed the Fish Intestine Sword, "Now, is there anyone else who refuses?"

No one responded.

Their ancestor was dead, the Nissan Family’s greatest martial reliance was gone, were they qualified to refuse?

They did not doubt that if this maniac went on a rampage, he would truly wipe them all out!

Chen Xiao then nodded in satisfaction, "Half an hour has already passed ten minutes, now, you have twenty minutes remaining to complete what I said, now, continue timing!"
