Chapter 18 Xiao Chen, stop!
The elder struck out with his palm, the wind from which whistled as it hurtled toward Xiao Chen's chest.
A full-force attack from a five-star Dou Wang was enough to kill him, and the mercenaries around him turned pale as they sensed this aura.
"Xiao Chen, be careful."
Xiao Ding shouted.
Xiao Li clenched his fists, wishing he could rush up and help, but he couldn't move. The pressure from the Dou Wang expert made it difficult for him to even breathe.
The surrounding mercenaries retreated, none of them having any faith in Xiao Chen.
"It's over, that boy is doomed."
"A Dou Wang level expert? There are only a handful in the entire Jia Ma Empire."
"How could a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy possibly stop him?"
The mercenaries were all talking amongst themselves and shaking their heads.
The elder's palm strike landed on Xiao Chen, but Xiao Chen stood still.
The palm wind dissipated, and Xiao Chen didn't even move.
The elder's pupils constricted sharply. "How is this possible?"
He used all his strength in that palm strike, and even a Dou Wang expert of the same level wouldn't dare to take it head-on. But this young man stood there and did nothing to neutralize his attack.
The elder's expression turned grim.
Yue Mei stood aside watching this scene, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. She had long known that Xiao Chen was strong, but she hadn't expected him to be this strong.
The Grand Elder is a five-star Dou Wang, second only to Queen Medusa in strength among the Snake-People. Even he couldn't hurt Xiao Chen in the slightest. Just how strong is this human?
"Let's go together."
The Grand Elder shouted.
The elite snake-men behind him immediately rushed forward, and more than a dozen Dou Ling experts attacked Xiao Chen at the same time, their Dou Qi surging.
Xiao Chen looked at them and sighed. He raised his hand and struck out with his palm. A terrifying battle aura burst out from his palm and blasted towards the elite snake people.
Bang bang bang.
Several muffled thuds sounded almost simultaneously, and the elite snake-men at the forefront were sent flying backward, crashing to the ground and lying motionless.
The remaining snake-men's expressions changed, and they attacked Xiao Chen from all directions.
Xiao Chen dodged several attacks with a swift movement and casually struck out with his palm, causing another snake-man to fall to the ground.
Without even looking, he slapped her again with his backhand, the third, the fourth, and the fifth.
In less than a few breaths, all of the dozen or so elite snake people fell to the ground, none of them able to get up.
The Grand Elder was stunned by what he saw; those snake-men elites were all powerful warriors at the Dou Ling level.
Every member of the snake-people was an elite, yet they couldn't even withstand a single move from Xiao Chen.
"stop."
The Grand Elder shouted.
Xiao Chen ignored him and walked towards the last remaining elite snake-man, striking out with his palm.
The snake-man elite was sent flying backward, crashed to the ground, twitched twice, and then lay still.
The elder's face turned ashen. "Didn't you hear me say 'Stop'?"
Xiao Chen turned to look at him. "I heard you."
"You heard it and you still killed him."
"You think you can just stop like that?"
Xiao Chen said indifferently, "Who do you think you are?"
A flash of anger crossed the elder's eyes, but fear was far more intense.
This boy's strength far exceeded his imagination; he was either a peak Dou Wang or a Dou Huang.
A Dou Huang powerhouse who is only fifteen or sixteen years old is a rare find in the entire Dou Qi Continent.
Xiao Chen walked towards him. "It's your turn."
The elder took a step back, his fighting spirit surging wildly. He unleashed a palm strike with all his might, but Xiao Chen didn't even look and threw a punch.
A muffled thud was produced when fists and palms collided, and the elder's body flew backward, crashing to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
He lay on the ground, his face pale and his eyes filled with fear. One move, just one move, and he, a five-star Dou Wang, couldn't even withstand one move.
The surrounding mercenaries were all dumbfounded by what they saw.
"That boy...won?"
"He injured a Dou Wang level expert."
"Who exactly is God?"
The mercenaries' murmurs were filled with shock.
Xiao Ding and Xiao Li stood there, their mouths agape, unable to utter a single word.
They knew their cousin was very strong, but they never imagined he was this strong.
Even a five-star Dou Wang couldn't withstand a single move from him.
Xiao Li felt a little hot as he recalled that he had just sparred with Xiao Chen to test his strength.
They were just letting him win; if Xiao Chen got serious, he wouldn't even be able to withstand a single move.
"That's too strong."
Xiao Ding muttered to himself.
Qinglin stood aside, looking at Xiao Chen with eyes full of admiration. "Young Master is indeed very strong."
Xiao Chen walked up to the Grand Elder and looked down at him. The Grand Elder, lying on the ground, looked at Xiao Chen with fear in his eyes.
"You...you can't kill me."
The elder's voice was trembling.
Why?
Xiao Chen asked.
"I am the Grand Elder of the Snake People. Her Majesty the Queen will not let you get away with killing me."
Xiao Chen remained silent.
"Her Majesty the Queen is a peak Douhuang expert; you cannot defeat her."
The elder said, "Release me and I'll pretend nothing happened."
Xiao Chen saw a slight upturn at the corner of his mouth and asked, "Are you finished?"
The Grand Elder was taken aback.
"Now that you've said your piece, go die."
Xiao Chen raised his hand, about to strike down with his palm, but then lowered it. He turned around and looked at the mercenaries around him.
"Who has a sword?"
The mercenaries looked at each other, but no one spoke.
"Can I borrow it for a moment?"
Xiao Chen said.
A young mercenary hesitated for a moment, then unfastened the longsword from his waist and handed it over. Xiao Chen took the sword and nodded.
Thanks.
He turned and walked toward the Grand Elder.
The First Elder stared at the sword in Xiao Chen's hand, his face turning deathly pale. "You... what are you going to do?"
Xiao Chen did not answer.
The elder struggled to back away, but his body wouldn't move. "Please, don't kill me. If you let me go, I promise the snake people won't bother you again."
Xiao Chen looked at him. "Now you know how to talk back?"
"I...I can give you money, I can give you medicine, I'll give you whatever you want."
The elder's voice was trembling.
"It's too late."
Xiao Chen raised his sword and slashed down. The sword flashed and the Great Elder's snake tail was severed at the root, blood gushing out and staining the yellow sand red.
"ah."
The elder screamed in agony, his voice trembling. He lay on the ground, clutching the wound from his severed tail, his whole body shaking.
"Spare me...please spare me."
The elder's voice was weak and feeble.
"Xiao Chen, that's enough."
Yue Mei spoke up.
Xiao Chen turned his head to look at her.
"Her Majesty the Queen will not let you get away with this."
Yue Mei said, "Her Majesty the Queen is a peak Douhuang expert. You can't defeat her. If you kill the Grand Elder, the Snake-People will fight you to the death."
Xiao Chen looked at her. "Are you done?"
Yue Mei gritted her teeth, "Don't be ungrateful."
Xiao Chen ignored her and turned to look at the Grand Elder.
The elder lay prostrate on the ground, his face deathly pale, his eyes filled with terror. "No... please don't."
Xiao Chen raised his sword and pierced the Grand Elder's chest with a single strike.
The elder's eyes widened, and he opened his mouth as if to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word. His head lolled to the side, and he died instantly.
Yue Mei was stunned when she saw the Grand Elder's corpse. Xiao Chen had really killed the Grand Elder, and right in front of her.
Yue Mei looked up at Xiao Chen, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
Xiao Chen didn't look at her, and returned the sword to the young mercenary. "Thanks."
The young mercenary's hands trembled as he took the sword.
The surrounding mercenaries were stunned by what they saw. A Dou Wang expert had died just like that, killed by a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy with a single sword strike.
"God, what did I just see?"
"That boy killed a Dou Wang level expert."
"Who exactly is he?"
The mercenaries' murmurs were filled with shock and fear.
Xiao Ding stood there looking at Xiao Chen, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside him.
Xiao Li stood to the side without saying a word for a long time. He remembered that he had just patted Xiao Chen on the shoulder and said that he wanted to spar. Now he felt embarrassed.
Qinglin looked at Xiao Chen with eyes full of admiration.
Yue Mei stood there, staring at the Great Elder's corpse. She gritted her teeth, turned around, spread her battle qi wings, and soared into the sky, flying towards the Tagor Desert.
She must go back and report to Her Majesty the Queen!
