Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation Chapter 1254

Chapter 1254: Azure Dragon King's Might
The strong aura made Xiao Chen, who arrived riding on a war chariot, appear as mighty as a divine being. The half-step Martial Emperor leader felt somewhat stunned before this aura, which caused dread to bubble up in his heart.
"Flood dragon war chariot? He is the Azure Dragon King Xiao Chen. That is the war chariot he snatched from the Eastern Sea Divine Dragon Palace's Young Palace Master."
At the sight of the flood dragon war chariot, everyone immediately guessed Xiao Chen's identity. This war chariot was originally the symbol of Leng Shaofan, the Eastern Sea Divine Dragon Palace's Young Palace Master. Now, it became a symbol of Xiao Chen—and a great mockery of Leng Shaofan.
Xiao Chen's sudden appearance blindsided the five people from the Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace, who had not expected him altogether.
"The Azure Dragon King!"
"The Azure Dragon King Xiao Chen has returned!"
However, the many guards on the city walls all erupted with thunderous cheers. When the old city was destroyed, Xiao Chen had appeared at the most critical moment, sending out a palm strike at the Buddha's palm. This memory remained fresh in these guards' minds.
The millions of people in the city would never forget the scene of the saber chopping the Buddha palm in half and causing boundless sunlight to pour down, shining on that white figure. It was imprinted deep in their minds.
Xiao Chen felt furious in his heart. He more or less guessed why this group of people was so fearless.
Of Heavenly Star Island's combat forces, the strongest was naturally Lan Shaobai and Lan Tianji's master, the Life Requisitor Asura, Lan Chaofeng, a peak Greater Heavenly Martial Emperor.
However, beneath Lan Chaofeng, Heavenly Star Island could rely on only Lan Shaobai, Elder Qin, Mo Chen, and the other quasi-Emperors, who were no match for a half-step Martial Emperor.
If Lan Chaofeng made a move against this half-step Martial Emperor, it would give the Western Sea Divine Dragon King an opportunity. At that time, he would come over and pursue responsibility, saying that Lan Chaofeng did not follow the rules and attacked a junior, casting Heavenly Star Island as the belligerent.
Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors had rules that Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors had to follow. They would be heavily criticized in their circle if they made a move on anyone under Martial Emperor.
However, if Lan Chaofeng did not make a move, there was no one who could suppress this group of people. Hence, when the other party repeatedly came over to cause trouble, endlessly suppressing the newly built Heavenly Dragon City, Mo Chen and the others could only endure. If things escalated, the one to suffer would be Heavenly Star Island.
Aside from the Western Sea Dragon King's strength as a Sovereign Martial Emperor, there were also the seven colored Marquises. The current Heavenly Star Island was still incapable of fighting these factions that had been inherited for tens of thousands of years.
In the end, the Dragon's Gate was still lacking in some accumulations and could not reach there in one step.
However, no matter what, a bona fide half-step Martial Emperor had made a move on a Martial Monarch. Xiao Chen could not bear this.
"The Western Sea Dragon Palace truly lives up to being the Sea Monarch's old guards. Tell me your name!"
Xiao Chen stood on the war chariot, holding the reins with one hand and the other behind his back, as he looked coldly at the black-clad old man who attacked.
The black-clad old man felt a strange horror in his heart. He actually felt timid before Xiao Chen's aura.
What's going on? Although his improvements in the past year are horrifying, reaching Consummation quasi-Emperor, I am a half-step Martial Emperor. Why do I feel apprehensive before him, not even daring to meet his gaze?
The black-clad old man's forehead dripped with sweat. Why did such a situation occur? He could not figure it out even after thinking hard about it.
Under the pressure of Xiao Chen's overwhelming presence, the black-clad old man somewhat involuntarily gave his name. "This old man carries the family name Lu. My given name is Yuanhe. I am an inner court elder of the Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace."
After saying that, Lu Yuanhe immediately felt regret. I am a half-step Martial Emperor. Why must I obey the words of a Consummation quasi-Emperor?
Just as Lu Yuanhe wanted to say something, Xiao Chen's next words made him feel very stifled. "Apologize and make compensation now, and I will show the Western Sea Dragon King some face. I will pretend that nothing happened."
When Lu Yuanhe heard that, he raged. "What a joke! You want me, a bona fide half-step Martial Emperor to apologize to a Martial Monarch? Azure Dragon King, did a camel kick you in the head? After snatching the flood dragon war chariot of the Eastern Sea Divine Dragon Palace, you dare to use it so brazenly. You already caused yourself such huge trouble, and yet you dare to be so arrogant? You are probably the only one of the younger generation who is like that."
Earlier, the stupendous strength of Xiao Chen's aura had stunned Lu Yuanhe for a while. Now, he took this moment to vent his frustrations and rein in Xiao Chen's momentum, turning things around and questioning Xiao Chen.
"The one who should be apologizing is you, a snot-nosed brat. If you beg me now, I can put in a few good words for you before the Eastern Sea Dragon King and not let you die too miserable a death."
Xiao Chen simply had no interest in Lu Yuanhe's nonsense. He said indifferently, "I'll say this one last time. Are you going to apologize or not?!"
The many cultivators at the city gates could not understand. How could Xiao Chen, a Consummation quasi-Emperor, dare to put on such airs before a half-step Martial Emperor? Where did he get the courage to keep pressing the other party for an apology?
"Not going to say anything? In that case, I take it as you forfeiting your chance. Don't blame me for not giving you any chances and being too ruthless."
After Xiao Chen's indifferent words, his figure flashed as he used the Thunder Dragon Steps and soared into the air.
Lu Yuanhe's lips curled up in a cold smile. This is good. This is an opportunity that is delivering itself to my doorstep. I cannot miss this. Defeating Xiao Chen here is a hundred times better than causing some trouble in Heavenly Dragon City. It will be more than enough to knock Heavenly Dragon City's reputation to rock bottom.
"Such arrogance! Even though I did not attack you, you actually dare to take the initiative to make the first move."
However, right after Lu Yuanhe spoke, he lost his smile. Xiao Chen, who was still within sight a moment ago, had suddenly disappeared.
What's going on?
"Elder Lu, behind! He is behind you!"
The companions that Lu Yuanhe brought along quickly called out in a hurry. No one expected Xiao Chen to be so fast.
"Trying to sneak-attack me? You are seeking death!"
A horrifying aura surged up from Lu Yuanhe's body as he shouted. Then, he turned around and punched. This blow was extremely heavy, causing space to tremble and buzz. Even the land around the city gates shook slightly.
However, contrary to expectations, Lu Yuanhe's punch struck air. He did not even see Xiao Chen's shadow before he received a slap, causing his body to whirl around and fly up.
When Lu Yuanhe found his footing and rubbed his face, he looked forward but still did not see Xiao Chen's figure.
Lu Yuanhe's expression changed wildly. Then, he spun around at lightning speed without bothering about anything else.
"Pa!"
An even more resounding slap landed on Lu Yuanhe's face. Then, his body whirled back at an even faster speed as a result of the impact. Even so, he still did not see Xiao Chen's figure.
Horror appeared in his heart. Lu Yuanhe pushed off the air and quickly turned around to face the front.
In that instant, a strong wind blew. With every round Lu Yuanhe spun around, he drove a vast amount of the power of the world. The two slaps confused and disoriented him. Now, he no longer thought of anything but trying to capture Xiao Chen's figure with his eyes.
"Pa!"
However, when Lu Yuanhe stopped spinning at high speed for a fraction of a second, another handprint appeared on his face. This strike sent him spinning in the opposite direction. When he came to a stop, he still did not see Xiao Chen's figure—not even his shadow.
"Elder Lu, behind! Behind!"
Behind me? I don't believe that I cannot even see your shadow!
Lu Yuanhe felt very sullen, but he did not dare to turn around. Instead, with a flash of light, he shot forward at lightning speed before turning around again.
"Pa! Pa! Pa!"
The crack of slaps filled the air. As long as Lu Yuanhe turned around, he received a resounding slap. No matter what he did or how fast he went, as long as he turned around, a slap awaited him.
However, Xiao Chen remained behind Lu Yuanhe all the while. Everyone could see it except for Lu Yuanhe. As long as he turned around, he received a slap, which spun him back around.
This looked very comical, causing the city guards and the cultivators that came from other places to laugh out loud together.
The four people who came with Lu Yuanhe felt extremely humiliated. This time, they had lost all face. Lu Yuanhe had been slapped into a confused and disoriented state. Furthermore, he still acted like a fool, searching for the person slapping him.
"To think that this fellow would get his today!"
"The Azure Dragon King truly lives up to his name. Each time these old fellows came to flaunt their might, Heavenly Dragon City could not deal with them. I had been feeling frustrated about this since long ago."
"If Miss Mo Chen had not said we should not activate the protective formation, he would not think that he could cause a commotion in Heavenly Dragon City."
When the guards saw this scene, they all felt relieved of their frustrations.
After receiving word, Mo Chen and her group immediately came rushing over. Initially, they were worried about Xiao Chen, but when they saw this scene, a smile bloomed on their lips involuntarily.
"Hahaha! Azure Dragon King, I see you! I see you!"
After being slapped several thousands of times in the air, Lu Yuanhe finally saw Xiao Chen's figure after turning around once again. Then, he started laughing crazily. There was even some joy in his tone.
Lu Yuanhe appeared like a small kid that had been urgently searching for a certain item and after finding it, gained heartfelt satisfaction.
However, the observers who saw everything knew that this time, Xiao Chen had not moved at all, allowing Lu Yuanhe to see him.
Everyone could not help feeling a trace of sorrow that it was over. Lu Yuanhe really had been slapped silly. Even though his face already swelled up like a pig's head, he could still laugh so happily.
"Why are you so happy? I'm merely tired of slapping you from behind."
Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed. His handsome and delicate face looked good when he smiled. However, in the eyes of others, this cold smile looked very terrifying as if he was some kind of demon.
There was another resounding slap. This time, the slap sent Lu Yuanhe crashing into the ground. The other party simply could not see the speed at which Xiao Chen attacked.
Before Xiao Chen, this Lu Yuanhe was like a clown, existing only to be made a fool of.
After that landing, Lu Yuanhe's brains were even more muddled. He kept saying, "I see you! I see you!"
The faces of the four Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace quasi-Emperors burned a fiery red in embarrassment. Someone had slapped a half-step Martial Emperor from their faction silly.
In all of the history of the entire Heavenly Starry Ocean, Lu Yuanhe was probably the first person to be slapped silly. Unfortunately, this first is not a glorious first.
"Quickly carry Elder Lu away."
"This time, we embarrassed ourselves too greatly. I wonder how the Vice Palace Masters will punish us?"
The few quasi-Emperors wished they could find a hole to hide in. How could they dare to remain? So they hastily picked up Lu Yuanhe and left like the wind.
Xiao Chen stood upright with his hands behind his back, watching this group of people leave. He did not stop them.
Although he had his pride and hated injustice, he was not a fool. Right now, the current Heavenly Star Island was not a match for the Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace. There was no need to push things to an extreme.
After messing around with Lu Yuanhe today, Xiao Chen had already regained Heavenly Star Island's lost prestige. He had also helped the guards that Lu Yuanhe injured vent their anger. This was sufficient already.
