Peerless War God

Why?    

"Your strength is not bad, but you're still lacking a bit. Goodbye."    

After saying this, the Nightmare Demon Lord slowly faded away, and his body soon disappeared from Han Lian's sight.    

At this moment, the Immortal King's throne was dead-silent. No one dared to make a sound.    

Of course, no one dared to think about chasing after him unless they didn't want to live anymore.    

It could be said that the appearance of the Nightmare Lord had given them a blow to the head, waking them up and making them realize the difference in strength.    

"Hmph, at least you ran away quickly," Han Lian's eyes bulged out, and her face was cold as she spoke.    

After pausing for a moment, Han Lian transmitted her voice to Chen Xiao and asked with concern, "Chen Xiao, right? Are your injuries serious?"    

Chen Xiao was startled for a moment, surprised and happy. He did not expect that a small character like him would actually be remembered by Commander Han Lian. It was truly rare.    

"Thank you for your concern, Commander Han. I can still hold on, cough cough ~"    

As he spoke, Chen Xiao coughed out a few more mouthfuls of blood. The blood flowed all over the ground, making him look extremely miserable. His face was also pale, and his legs were a little unsteady.    

Of course, all of this was deliberately faked by him to confuse Han Lian and prevent her from being exposed.    

Just now, he used the Tower of Void to block the Nightmare Devil Lord's attack, so he was lucky enough to not die and was only injured.    

If it was an ordinary person who suffered such an attack, they would have been turned into ashes long ago. However, he survived. This didn't make sense.    

If Han Lian really wanted to find out the truth, he wouldn't know how to explain it, so he just pretended to be wounded.    

Han Lian felt relieved and said, "Take good care of yourself. Don't think too much."    

"Yes, Commander Han," Chen Xiao replied.    

"Yes."    

Immediately, Han Lian retracted her divine sense and disappeared. Only then did Chen Xiao heave a sigh of relief.    

As expected of an Immortal Realm expert, his divine sense could extend from the Immortal King's seat to the Purple Cloud City. Almost no one could stop him. He was truly powerful.    

Luckily, he had kept a low profile and didn't give himself away.    

However, what Chen Xiao did not know was that in the air, Han Lian was looking in the direction of the Purple Cloud City with a playful expression, and muttered: "What secret does this brat have that he was able to block the Nightmare Demon Master's attack? Although it is only an incarnation, it is already very extraordinary. Forget it, everyone has their own secrets, I can't be bothered with it."    

Suddenly, a figure appeared behind Han Lian and respectfully said, "Captain Han, Commander Li requests an audience."    

Hearing that, Han Lian's eyebrows jumped as she said, "Understood. Let's go."    

"Yes."    

......    

Yes.    

They were the Duke of Purple Gold and the Sky Star Sword Sovereign.    

"Chen Xiao, are you alright? The Nightmare Demon Lord seemed to be coming for you." The Duke of Purple Gold stepped forward and said with concern.    

The Heavenly Star Sword Sovereign's face darkened, and he said with a frown, "You are already very lucky to be able to survive. I don't know what madness the Nightmare Demon Lord has gone through to actually want to harm you, but it doesn't seem like he came specifically for you. It's also a blessing in misfortune. How is it, Chen Xiao brat?"    

Facing the concern of the two of them, Chen Xiao felt warm and grateful.    

He took a deep breath, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said, "Thank you for your concern, sirs. I'm fine for the time being."    

The two were overjoyed and said: "That's good. You're lucky. I knew that something wouldn't happen so easily."    

"It's good that you're fine," the Sky Star Sword Sovereign smiled and said.    

Chen Xiao smiled bitterly and did not say anything else. The danger of that battle just now was not worth mentioning to outsiders.    

Fortunately, he had the Tower of Void to protect him, so he was able to survive this calamity. In his heart, he had already remembered the Nightmare Demon Master.    

This grudge was too big, and it wouldn't end until one of them died.    

The Duke of Zi Jin looked at Chen Xiao up and down a few times. Seeing that he was only slightly injured and was not seriously injured, he said, "This is a bottle of Return to Heaven Pills. Take it to treat your injuries. If you need it, it can be considered your congratulatory gift for successfully breaking through to the Immortal Realm."    

Chen Xiao was about to refuse, but when he heard the words Return to Heaven Pill, he tactfully swallowed it back down.    

The Return to Heaven Pill had a great origin. It was a pill that could only be exchanged for with Battle Token Points in the fortress of the Immortal King. Its effects were extraordinary and its price was not cheap.    

Now that he was heavily injured, he could use it.    

With that, the Duke of Purple Gold took out a bottle of Return to Heaven Pills and handed it to Chen Xiao.    

After Chen Xiao accepted it, he said sincerely, "Thank you, Lord Duke Zi."    

When the Heavenly Star Sword Sovereign saw this, he thought for a moment and said, "I'm not as rich as Brother Zi. I don't have any good gifts for you. Just this secret manual. You might be able to use it."    

The Heavenly Star Sword Sovereign took out a book. It was a palm technique called the Heaven Destroying Palm.    

"Heaven Destroying Palm?" Chen Xiao took it and started to read it with interest.    

On the side, the Sky Star Sword Sovereign explained, "This palm technique is very suitable for cultivators at the Immortal Life Realm. Although you're a sword cultivator, this palm technique helps you use it. Furthermore, this palm technique contains the power of Wind Lightning, so it's very powerful. It's very compatible with the technique you're cultivating, so it's suitable for you."    

Hearing this, Chen Xiao was overjoyed. This palm technique was indeed extremely suitable for him.    

Now that he had the Five Elements Sword Intent and the Palm Technique of Wind and Lightning, he could fully unleash the strength in his body without missing anything.    

Apparently, the Sky Star Sword Saint didn't just give him a gift. He obviously spent a lot of time and effort on it.    

Chen Xiao accepted it and said, "Thank you, Sword Sovereign."    

The Heavenly Star Sword Sovereign waved his hand, but then he changed the topic and said, "There's no need to be so polite. From now on, you and I will be considered as peers. How about it?"    

Chen Xiao was startled, he repeatedly refused, and said: "How can this be? Lord Sword Sovereign is a senior, he has given me many pointers, and his kindness is like a mountain. I do not dare to surpass him."    

"You are too polite. Polite means estrangement. Besides, in the God Realm, those who reach the top are the most important. Although you and I are much older than each other, our cultivation levels are the same. We are both at the Eternal Realm, so it's best for us to address each other as our peers. How about I be a little bit more arrogant and call you little brother Chen Xiao?"    

The Heavenly Star Sword Sovereign's tone was solemn, and he did not allow any rejection.    

The Duke of Purple Gold was also smiling and happy to see this.    

"This...!"    

Chen Xiao hesitated for a moment. Looking at the expressions of the two of them, he immediately made a decision.    

"Since that's the case, I'll be bold enough to call you Big Brother Ji and Big Brother Zi Jing."    

He cupped his fists towards the two and shouted.    

The Duke of Purple Gold and the Sky Star Sword Sovereign looked at each other and laughed, "Good, very good. That's more like it."    

"Very good. In the future, the three of us will work together and protect the Purple Cloud City," the Duke of Purple Gold said in a solemn tone.    

"It's a deal."    

"It's a deal. Protect the Purple Cloud City."    

It's a deal. Protect the Purple Cloud City.
