Chapter 74: Surrounded
"I underestimated you!" The Zhao family ancestor was shocked. He had already reached the level of an eight-star general, and his strength was close to 20,000 pounds, but he didn't expect that he would tie with Chen Xiao.
Unlike the Zhao family ancestor, Chen Xiao was relieved. Since he could take this blow, it meant that he had at least fought hard.
Slightly tightening the long sword in his hand, Chen Xiao raised his left hand and shouted: "Exploding Cloud Finger!"
After the words fell, a flash of light flew out. The Zhao family ancestor was startled and waved his hand to slap it.
Puff...
A low voice sounded, and the Exploding Cloud Finger was immediately shattered.
Before the Zhao family ancestor could make any move, his eyes suddenly blurred, and then Chen Xiao's body jumped out to the distance. After a few ups and downs, he came to the courtyard wall and turned to jump to the other side.
"Want to run? That's not that easy!" The ancestor of the Zhao family snorted coldly, stamped his foot on the ground, and his whole body shot towards the direction where Chen Xiao was like a flash of lightning.
However, the ancestor of the Zhao family was very fast, but Chen Xiao was even faster. With the full force of the Liuyun Step, Chen Xiao's whole body was like a residual shadow, and instantly swept away into the distance.
The eyes of the ancestor of the Zhao family behind him were wide open, and he immediately chased in that direction, and at the same time, he issued a series of scoldings from his mouth, attracting all the nearby Zhao family members.
Soon, Chen Xiao, who was fleeing everywhere, found that there were more and more Zhao family members around.
However, Chen Xiao still did not have the slightest nervous look on his face, but he had already made a plan in his mind.
Puff!
A flash of cold light passed by, and Chen Xiao's body suddenly passed by a six-star martial artist, and the long sword in his hand directly cut his throat, killing him with one blow.
…
Puff…
Bang…
"Damn it!"
"There he is!"
…
The voices of surprise and anger rang out one after another, but everyone found that they could not catch Chen Xiao at all. He was like a slippery loach, constantly shuttling through the crowd, leaving nothing behind except corpses.
The ancestor of the Zhao family was almost mad with anger. It had been nearly a cup of tea since he appeared, but he had not caught up with Chen Xiao in such a long time.
Logically speaking, his cultivation was much higher than Chen Xiao's, and his speed should be faster than Chen Xiao's. However, the fact was that Chen Xiao did not know what kind of body movement he was using, so he could only keep following behind and eating dust.
Even if he did catch up occasionally, there was no way to kill him with one blow. Chen Xiao would not confront him head-on again. Every time he encountered him, he would turn around and leave.
Another half an incense stick of time passed, and Chen Xiao finally had some injuries on his body. These were caused by the fight with the Zhao family ancestor who caught up with him before. However, during this period of time, Chen Xiao also harvested ten lives nearby, and his cultivation level was only a little bit away from breaking through to the four-star general.
"A little bit, just a little bit!" Chen Xiao murmured, his eyes just fell on a three-star martial artist not far away, his body suddenly accelerated, and he rushed towards the man.
Seeing Chen Xiao rushing towards someone again, the Zhao family ancestor scolded without thinking: "Get out of the way!"
The man was also shocked. No one who was locked by Chen Xiao before could escape. How could he dare to stay now? He ran away without thinking.
"Want to run?" Chen Xiao's eyes flashed with cold light, and the Void Refining Body Art in his body quickly operated, and his speed suddenly increased. After a few ups and downs, he chased within five meters, and then a burst of cloud fingers was brazenly attacked.
Puff...
The sound sounded, and the man's body slowly fell down.
Chen Xiao's body did not stop at all. He immediately rushed forward, grabbed the sword in the man's hand, and smashed it towards another person at the side.
In the eyes of others, Chen Xiao's action had two reasons. The first one was to grab the sword. After all, it was worth a few gold coins. As for the other reason, it was to use the dead man's body to block the attack speed of others and then take the opportunity to escape.
But in fact, Chen Xiao had a third reason, which was to take the opportunity to inject black fire into the man's body and devour the remaining true energy in his body. As for the first two reasons, they were just incidental, and the purpose was just to not attract attention.
After devouring this man's cultivation, Chen Xiao immediately turned around and ran towards another location. Behind him, the ancestor of the Zhao family was angry and his face was gloomy, and he was about to drip water. But his speed was a little slower than Chen Xiao, so he could only follow behind and watch Chen Xiao constantly attacking other people on both sides. He wanted to stop it, but he was powerless.
At this moment, there was another commotion in the distance, and then a group of Zhao family elders came again.
The ancestor of the Zhao family has never liked the appearance of these people like this moment, and he shouted loudly without thinking: "Surround him quickly, don't let him run away!"
The second elder and the third elder and others were originally staying in the meeting hall and did not come out, but the fight here was too intense, and someone came to report, so they hurriedly brought people over.
At this time, hearing the words of the ancestor, these people really realized the seriousness of the matter.
Originally thought that the head of the family and the elder would take action, the matter should be perfectly resolved, but unexpectedly, the two of them had already lost their lives.
Later, the ancestor of the Zhao family came out of retreat, thinking that the matter could be resolved, but until now, Chen Xiao has not been captured.
Especially seeing more than ten corpses lying on the ground, these people were even more shocked. Being able to kill so many people in front of the ancestor, could it be that Chen Xiao was even more powerful than their ancestor?
However, it was too late to think about it now. The direction Chen Xiao retreated was exactly their side. Several people looked at each other, and several generals immediately took the lead and surrounded Chen Xiao in a fan shape.
Seeing several elders surrounding Chen Xiao, the ancestor of the Zhao family was greatly encouraged and quickly increased his speed and ran straight towards Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao was too slippery, but if someone cooperated and Chen Xiao's speed could not be brought into play, then things would be easy.
Seeing these people gathering around him, Chen Xiao's face did not show too much panic. With a glance, he saw the four people who surrounded him clearly.
The second and third elders of the Zhao family were three-star generals and one-star generals respectively. The other two were Zhao Yongchang and another second-generation person of the Zhao family, and their cultivation reached one-star generals.
The four of them had not seen Chen Xiao's previous fight, but they were confident that if they joined forces to stop Chen Xiao and then handed him over to the Great Elder, there shouldn't be much of a problem.
After looking at each other, the four of them drew their swords and attacked Chen Xiao.
