Chapter 313: Nascent Soul!!
Chapter 313: Nascent Soul!!
"Is something wrong, Madam?"
A beautiful woman looked up in surprise, her eyes widening and her lips slightly parted.
"Some idiots still dare to act like this on Earth?" she muttered, shaking her head in disbelief.
Her anger was evident in the tightness of her jaw and the furrow of her brow.
She vanished abruptly, leaving the woman she was speaking to quite confused.
"What could have happened to make Madam this angry?"

At another location, a group of men in suits gathered around a conference table, their faces filled with concern as they discussed the latest developments in their plan.
"We need to proceed with caution," one of them said, his voice tense. "We can't afford any mistakes now. After all, it will change the entire world as we know it."
"Do you think the other countries will aid us?" another man asked, his brow furrowed in thought.
"They have no choice; we're talking about the peace of this world and everyone's future at stake here. Even someone with a greedy mind wouldn't dare risk the consequences," the first man replied firmly.
"What do you think, sir?"
All the men in the room turned to look at the man they addressed. He appeared to be in his mid-30s, with a strong jawline and a face that had weathered countless trials. His thick black hair was kept short, and his eyes, the color of polished obsidian, held a quiet intensity. His powerful frame was barely hidden beneath his well-tailored suit.
Everyone waited for him to speak, indicating his importance and authority, as evidenced by the respectful tone in which they addressed him.
He paused briefly to gather his thoughts before speaking.
"I believe that—"
Before he could finish his sentence, he sensed a sudden shift in the atmosphere. His eyes narrowed as he felt a powerful Qi from a distance.
'Didn't we forbid anyone from using this kind of strength in this world? Yet some still choose to defy us,' he thought.
"This meeting is over," he declared, his voice firm and commanding.
With a stern expression, he stood up and signaled for the meeting to come to an immediate halt. No one dared to question him as his body emitted a strong aura that sent shivers down their spines.
After he finished speaking, the man vanished, leaving his astonished audience in disbelief.
BOOM!
"Blood Spikes!!"
Several sharp spikes of blood emanated from Malakai's scythe, aiming towards Chen Tian.
Chen Tian quickly focused his energy, causing five golden swords to appear behind him. Watching the waves of spikes coming his way, the spiritual Qi flowing through Chen Tian's body exploded outwards.
TING!
The second move of the Eternal Celestial Sword Art roared to life as five golden swords quickly formed in front of him, creating a barrier.
"Move!" Chen Tian shouted as all the swords moved in unison, intercepting the blood spikes.
The collision of both attacks generated forceful shockwaves that rippled through the air.
Whoosh!
"So these are the bastards causing trouble!" A woman with beauty that rivaled the moon's ethereal glow floated in the distance, her voice filled with anger yet melodic in its intensity.
"Oh, Madam Baihu, it's a pleasure to see you here."
Suddenly, the figure of a man in a suit appeared near the woman.
The woman turned to face him, her eyes flashing with a mixture of annoyance and irritation.
"Grr!! You!" she spat, her voice dripping with disdain. "I should have known you were involved in this mess."
"Ey, this time I wasn't the cause of this trouble," the man said sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck.
Baihu narrowed her eyes at him, clearly not convinced by his excuse.
"Well, we better fix this mess before something bad happens here," she said sternly, gesturing towards the fight happening in the distance.
The man nodded, his expression serious as he followed Baihu's gaze. He didn't know who was bold enough to fight like this in a world where even the Qi Refinement Realm was considered superhuman. They had clearly banned such reckless behavior for a reason.
"I don't care who they are or what the reason is, but since they dared defy the law, they must face the consequences," he stated firmly, determination flashing in his eyes.
The battle raged between two figures, their movements blurring as they exchanged blows. One, a hulking brute radiating a bloody power, clad in blood-created armor, swung a massive scythe that sent shockwaves rippling through the air. The other, cloaked in a white robe, countered with swords of light that seemed to cut through the darkness itself. Experience exclusive tales on M V L
Baihu squinted, narrowing her eyes.
"This?"
"Xuelou race!" Baihu spoke with a voice as cold as ice, her words sending shivers down the man's spine.
"Isn't that Malakai, the son of the current leader of the Xuelou tribe?" the man asked, his voice cracking with anger.
It wasn't hard for Baihu and the man to recognize Malakai. There weren't many of them in this world, and the distinctive fighting style of the Xuelou tribe was unmistakable.
"I don't care who he is, he's going to get what he deserves, even if his father is the leader of a tribe." Baihu's determination was evident in her tone.
BOOM!
A strong aura suddenly exploded from her body, causing the man's face to darken.
'Fuck, this is bad!' the man thought, realizing they might get into another problem with this powerful woman in front of him. Even if Malakai did something wrong, he couldn't let this woman deal with him.
How could he explain things to that kid's father later if this woman decided to take matters into her own hands?
Malakai's father was not only the leader of a tribe but also a strong expert in the Nascent Soul Realm like them.
The moment Baihu's aura exploded, it directly pressed down on Chen Tian and Malakai, making them feel like ants under a giant foot.
Malakai's expression quickly changed.
"Fuck!"
He knew he had gotten himself into trouble, but he wasn't worried. Malakai was confident that his father would have his back.
As for Chen Tian, his expression quickly changed.
'Nascent Soul!!'
His relaxed expression shifted to one of shock. All this time, he wasn't really fighting Malakai with his full strength. His second move of the Eternal Celestial Sword Art only contained the first level of sword aura.
If Chen Tian wanted, he could have killed Malakai right then and there. But instead, he decided to hold back and test Malakai's abilities—maybe even capture him and ask if there were others like him.
But a powerful Nascent Soul expert? Chen Tian knew he had no chance of winning against someone of that level yet.
He cursed under his breath, frustrated with himself. He had never thought anyone would come to Malakai's aid. It was a moment of shock for Chen Tian, but he quickly composed himself.
'If it comes to it, I can still run,' he thought, with the help of the lightning crystal. Chen Tian had the confidence to run away from even someone in the Nascent Soul Realm.
He planned to run in the opposite direction from the Ming family and potentially even away from his own family.
As he was deep in thought, Baihu, who had her aura locked onto both of them, suddenly froze as her eyes widened.
"N-No way!"
Her body trembled as she looked at Chen Tian with a mixture of shock and excitement.
The man was also slightly surprised, but not for the same reason as Baihu, since unlike her, he didn't try to focus his aura on Chen Tian and Malakai.
He never expected to see such an expression from the woman, leaving him slightly surprised.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
Baihu took a deep breath before responding, "That guy, a human…"
"Human?"
He was puzzled by Baihu's words.
Baihu nodded frantically, her voice trembling as she spoke. "Yes, he's human."
A sudden realization struck the man as he processed Baihu's words. His face paled as he understood the implications of a human flying on a sword.
A word he had only heard about in the ancient texts of his tribe, which he never thought was real. A word that sent shivers down his spine—"cultivator."
