Xiao Chen, Have You Fallen in Love with Another Woman?

Just then.

Roar!

A series of furious roars rang out. More than a dozen exceptionally savage Ironclad Demon Wolves leaped into the air at once and pounced on Lin Qingxian.

That damned sword cultivator had actually wounded their companion. They were going to devour her alive.

"Damn it, run!"

A trace of despair flashed through Lin Qingxian's eyes as she hurriedly shouted at Xiao Chen.

Ye Qingxuan and the others were trembling all over in terror. They wanted to run, only to find that they could not move at all—their fear had become so overwhelming that even their legs would not obey them!

What was happening before them had crushed the last of their mental defenses!

They had nearly lost their lives dealing with just one Ironclad Demon Wolf. With over a dozen attacking together, who could possibly stop them?

Unless a Martial Master Realm expert arrived in person, no one could deal with so many Ironclad Demon Wolves with such monstrously powerful defenses!

Even an ordinary Martial Master Realm expert might be in danger of dying here!

Yet Xiao Chen did not choose to flee. Instead, he stared fixedly at the demon wolves in the air and slowly drew the Dragon Slayer Sword from his back.

Battle intent blazed in his eyes. This would be his first time drawing his sword. He felt both anticipation and unease, wondering just how powerful the Heaven-Defying Demon Slayer Art truly was!

"Are you insane? Run! The terror of these Ironclad Demon Wolves is beyond anything you can imagine!"

Lin Qingxian's expression changed drastically.

The Zhenkun Academy students were all rooted to the spot when they saw this.

Xiao Chen was going to fight the demon wolves?

How could he be so overconfident!

Yet something stirred in Ye Qingxuan's eyes. As she looked at the tall, straight-backed youth before her, memories of the past surged into her mind.

Whenever she and Xiao Chen had gone out to train in the past and encountered danger, Xiao Chen had always stood before her just like this, towering like a mountain and making her feel safe.

Now, times had changed. Yet when they found themselves in a deadly predicament, the one standing in front of her was still the youth she had cast aside!

It was truly sigh-worthy.

Unfortunately, he was no longer that peerless genius. If his talent had remained unrivaled, the two of them should still be sweetly together now, right?

But fate made fools of people. She could not possibly marry a good-for-nothing.

Everyone present believed that Xiao Chen would soon be torn to pieces by the demon wolves.

But Xiao Chen paid them no mind. All his attention was focused on the demon wolves in the air. He tried hard to recall the Demon Quelling Sword God's ultimate hatred and obsession after the Demon Race had exterminated his entire family, then swiftly drew his sword.

No one believed he could defeat the demon wolves!

A sword cultivator who had just begun training, wielding a battered, worthless broken sword—could he slay demons?

But in the next instant, something unbelievable happened.

At the moment the demon wolves swooped down to land, the sword on Xiao Chen's back left its sheath. That battered black ancient sword suddenly flashed with several streaks of purple sword light, and terrifying Sword Qi slashed toward the dozen or so demon wolves that were about to attack with unprecedented sharpness.

The demon wolves' scales, which seemed incomparably sturdy to everyone else, were sliced open by Xiao Chen as easily as tofu.

Psh!

Psh!

Psh!

After several strange sounds, more than a dozen enormous wolf heads rolled across the ground, green demon blood spilling everywhere.

Everyone stared blankly at the Ironclad Demon Wolf corpses strewn across the ground, their eyeballs practically popping out of their sockets!

Such terrifying wolf demons had actually been slain by Xiao Chen with a single sword strike?

And so effortlessly—as easily as cutting tofu!

Was this really not some hallucination?

"You... you..."

Lin Qingxian looked at Xiao Chen, her eyes filled with shock.

She had painstakingly cultivated the sword for ten years, and she even practiced the Nirvana Nine Swords, yet she could not even break through these demon wolves' defenses.

Xiao Chen had practiced the sword for less than half an hour, and the technique he cultivated was the lowest-grade Heaven-Defying Demon Slayer Sword Sutra, yet one strike had instantly killed more than a dozen demon wolves?

Was there any justice left in the world?

Ye Qingxuan's pupils constricted sharply as well. She stared fixedly at Xiao Chen, unable to believe what she had seen for a long time!

With such terrifying combat power, even an eighth-level Martial Disciple might not necessarily compare to him, right?

Yet Xiao Chen had only just entered the path of cultivation. This talent was simply far too terrifying!

She had originally thought that, afflicted by the Curse of the Heavenly Dao, Xiao Chen's talent would certainly be inferior to Xiao Lingtian's. But now that she saw this, Xiao Lingtian was not even worthy of carrying Xiao Chen's shoes!

To cultivate even the most difficult path of the sword to such a level in half an hour, Xiao Chen was absolutely a monster among monsters.

She suddenly recalled that the Martial Spirit Realm's verdict on Xiao Chen that day had its latter half forcibly erased by some mysterious power. Could there be another mystery behind it? Was Xiao Chen not doomed to die after all?

Even Xiao Chen himself was stunned. Looking at the Dragon Slayer Sword in his hand, his eyes were filled with shock and excitement!

Is this Heaven-Defying Demon Slayer Art really this fucking powerful?

He had merely swung his sword casually, yet it had unleashed such terrifying force?

The remaining Ironclad Demon Wolves looked at Xiao Chen, a flicker of fear passing through their eyes. Their fighting spirit had long since vanished. Leaving their companions' corpses behind, they turned and fled at once!

No matter how hard they tried, they could not understand how such a terrifying human had suddenly appeared near Sword Immortal Village.

The Demon Race was naturally gifted. When facing humans of the same rank, they could crush them more often than not!

Yet today, so many wolves had nearly been wiped out by a mere seventh-level Sword Disciple. It was utterly absurd!

Sword cultivators truly were freakishly overpowered!

Seeing the demon wolf pack flee in terror from Xiao Chen, everyone let out a sigh of relief.

Ye Qingxuan walked to Xiao Chen's side. Looking into his star-like eyes, a faint blush rose on her face as she said in a soft, syrupy voice, "Xiao Chen, I never expected you to possess such extraordinary talent in the sword. I underestimated you before. Actually, the day I broke off our engagement, your younger brother forced me to do it. I never wanted things to turn out this way!"

The Zhenkun Academy students were all taken aback by the sight.

The ever-proud Ninth Princess of Great Xia was actually lowering her head to Xiao Chen?

Who would dare believe that?

"Ye Qingxuan, stop putting on an act in front of me. Although Xiao Lingtian is an ungrateful wretch, you're no better! You must have been thinking about breaking off the engagement ever since my dantian was shattered, right? What, now that you see I've recovered, you regret it?"

Xiao Chen quickly retreated three steps, pulling away from Ye Qingxuan as he sneered coldly.

Ye Qingxuan's eyes immediately widened. Her proud heart felt as though it had suffered a heavy blow.

Had Xiao Chen taken the wrong medicine or something?

She had swallowed her pride and kindly tried to make peace with him, and this was his attitude?

Back then, his dantian had been shattered and he had become a cripple. Was she supposed to marry a useless man?

Breaking off the engagement then had not been excessive at all!

"Xiao Chen, I know you resent me, but haven't you always been very tolerant of me? Can't you forgive me just this once? Perhaps we could..."

"Ye Qingxuan, I advise you not to waste your time on me. From this day forth, you and I are destined to be nothing but strangers!"

Xiao Chen had long since seen through this woman's true face. How could he possibly retain even the slightest affection for her?

After hearing this, Ye Qingxuan's gaze suddenly swept toward Lin Qingxian beside them, jealousy flaring in her eyes. "Xiao Chen, have you fallen for another woman?"

In her eyes, Xiao Chen had loved her for so many years. How could his feelings change just like that? The only possibility was that he and Lin Qingxian had gotten together!

She had only broken off the engagement with him such a short time ago, yet he had already transferred his affections to someone else. It was simply too much!

"Ye Qingxuan, I have nothing to do with you anymore. Who I like is none of your business."

A trace of impatience appeared on Xiao Chen's face.
