Chaotic Sword Emperor

Chapter 6 – Let me do it!

"Roar!"

Zhang Chi and his three companions felt a chill run down their spines. Turning their heads, their faces were instantly covered in terror.

"Purple, Purple Crystal Beast!"

Facing the enraged Purple Crystal Beast, all four of them were trembling, with despair rising in their eyes.

They had actually forgotten that where there's a Purple Flame Flower, a Purple Crystal Beast is sure to be found. Now they were done for; the beast was even stronger than those at the Fate Palace Realm!

"No, no, it wasn't us who stole your Purple Flame Flower!"

"It was that bastard Su Mu who stole it, go find him!"

The four were nearly in tears. There was a debtor for every debt; why target them? They hadn't gained any benefits and had instead become scapegoats. But clearly, the Purple Crystal Beast wasn't interested in their explanations.

"Chi, Brother Chi, you, you've already broken through to the Fate Palace Realm, right? Take it down."

The woman spoke tremblingly. Among them, only Zhang Chi was at the Fate Palace Realm, and the other three were at the late stage of the Spiritual Agility Realm. Only Zhang Chi could fight.

Zhang Chi glanced at the woman and cursed her as an idiot in his mind. He had only just broken through to the Fate Palace Realm, his cultivation was not yet stable, and to fight a beast comparable to the second level of the Fate Palace Realm was like asking him to court death.

"Run!"

Seeing Zhang Chi turn and flee, the other three were stunned, then, shocked, they followed suit in a frantic escape.

"Roar!"

The Purple Crystal Beast let out an angry roar. Its years-guarded Purple Flame Flower stolen by these damned humans!

"Boom, boom..."

The beast chased furiously, its fierce charge shattering trees and rocks as if they were nothing!

"We can't outrun it; it's too fast!"

Zhang Chi and his companions, seeing the relentless pursuit of the Purple Crystal Beast, felt a wave of despair. At this rate, they would eventually be annihilated by the beast!

"Su Mu, you bastard!" Zhang Chi roared furiously. It was all because of that animal Su Mu. If he hadn't run so fast, the beast wouldn't have targeted them!

Making them take the blame, utterly malicious!

Deserving of death!

"Chase Su Mu, even if I die, I'll drag him down with me!"

The three nodded in agreement; it was all Su Mu's fault!

"Still chasing me?" Su Mu, while running, saw Zhang Chi crazily pursuing him and frowned. Why chase him instead of scattering, were they brainless?

Thinking they could use him as a shield, they weren't qualified!

Glancing at the Purple Flame Flower in his hand, he swallowed it and began to refine it while escaping.

With his Sword Vein, Zhang Chi and the others couldn't catch up to him.

"Animal, animal!" Zhang Chi saw Su Mu quickly disappearing into the distance and cursed furiously.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, a scream startled him, and turning his head, he saw the Purple Crystal Beast had caught up and pounced, killing one of them instantly!

"Ah!"

Another scream followed as the beast took down another!

In front of the Purple Crystal Beast, those at the Spiritual Agility Realm were no different from grasshoppers!

"Roar!"

Watching the beast pounce towards him, Zhang Chi's face changed, and he had no choice but to draw his sword and engage.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

"Boom!"

But having just reached the Fate Palace Realm, he was no match for the Purple Crystal Beast. He was sent flying after only a few exchanges!

As the beast loomed over him, Zhang Chi saw only despair in his eyes.

"Ah, Su Mu, even if I become a ghost, I won't let you off!"

"Splash!"

Just when Zhang Chi thought he was done for, blood rain suddenly fell from the sky, the warm blood startling him awake.

Focusing his eyes, he saw the ferocious Purple Crystal Beast lying on the ground, and several figures appeared before him.

"Su, the Su family!"

Zhang Chi shuddered in fear, falling into despair again. It was the Su family who had saved him, all stewards at that. Out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth.

"What did you just say?" The sixth steward looked down at Zhang Chi coldly, speaking indifferently. They were just passing by and wouldn't have intervened if not for Zhang Chi's shout.

Zhang Chi was stunned, not here to kill him?

"Did you see Su Mu?" The sixth steward's eyes shot a cold light as he demanded.

Zhang Chi, startled, nodded quickly.

"He's here!" A sharp light flashed in the sixth steward's eyes. The Family Head was right.

"Where is he now?"

"He, he ran that way." Zhang Chi pointed in the direction Su Mu had fled, still confused about the situation.

"Chase!"

The sixth steward lifted Zhang Chi and headed in the direction Su Mu had escaped, and the woman was also caught by another steward. If they dared to deceive them, they would die!

...

"This should be safe."

In a tree hollow, Su Mu hid inside, no longer hearing the Purple Crystal Beast, it should be safe now.

"The fourth drop of Essence Liquid!" Inspecting his Sword Vein, he was pleasantly surprised. Just swallowing it had condensed a drop of Essence Liquid; the Purple Flame Flower was indeed powerful.

"Fully refining the Purple Flame Flower should let me condense the seventh drop of Essence Liquid, but breaking through to the Fate Palace Realm requires ten drops."

"Even if I haven't reached the Fate Palace Realm, I'm comparable to it. Even if the Purple Crystal Beast comes, I'm confident I can slay it!"

Not yet at the Fate Palace, but stronger than it, such is the might of the Sword Vein!

"Hmph!" He began refining, and the Purple Flame Flower immediately intensified the burning of his meridians, the pain suddenly escalating several levels!

But what was this pain compared to deep-seated hatred?

"Seven and a half drops!"

In the middle of the night, Su Mu endured the pain and opened his eyes in surprise. He had underestimated the power of the Purple Flame Flower, which almost allowed him to condense the eighth drop of Essence Liquid. Now he was only two and a half drops away from the Fate Palace Realm!

"Boom!"

After a while, the tree hollow suddenly shook as if struck by a heavy object.

"That bastard couldn't have gone far; the Purple Flame Flower will be destroyed if not refined within an hour. He must be nearby refining it!"

"Don't overlook any cave or tree hollow!"

"Boom!"

As the shouts outside continued, the tree hollow shook again and then broke apart!

Su Mu's expression changed as the upper half of the tree hollow collapsed, revealing Zhang Chi before him!

Zhang Chi, seeing Su Mu, was stunned, then joy surged on his face.

"My lord, he's here!"

"Ha-ha, Su Mu, I finally found you!"

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

The Su family stewards quickly rushed over, surrounding Su Mu.

Facing those familiar faces, Su Mu's expression darkened, and he slowly stood up, drawing his sword.

"Su Mu, we've finally found you. Your life is indeed tough, surviving until now," the sixth steward stepped forward with a sneer, a sharp sword appearing in his hand, brimming with killing intent.

Su Mu sneered; these stewards were all Su Mocheng's lackeys. Since they had found him, there was nothing more to say.

"My lord, wait." Just as they were about to move, Zhang Chi suddenly raised his hand to stop them, and the stewards' gazes turned icy.

"My lord, give me a chance to kill him!" Zhang Chi quickly spoke, fearing any misunderstanding would be his end.

The sixth steward frowned but then nodded. It was a good idea to let someone from the Zhang Family act; if this matter was discovered later, they could push the blame onto the Zhang Family.

Seeing the sixth steward agree, Zhang Chi was elated, turning to Su Mu with a vicious smile.

"Su Mu, you didn't expect me to survive, did you? You almost got me killed by the Purple Crystal Beast, and my two clan brothers died because of you. Today, I'll kill you to avenge them!"

"You brought death upon yourselves; who else is to blame?" Su Mu sneered again. They wanted to kill him for stealing and still thought they were justified?

"But to kill me, just with you? You're not qualified!"

"I'm not qualified?" Zhang Chi's face twisted with rage. Just brute strength and he dared to look down on him, seeking death!

"Die!" A sword thrust directly at Su Mu, killing a brute was easy!

"Clang!"

In the darkness, a flash of sword light, and Zhang Chi's sword broke in two!

"Hisss!"

Zhang Chi's form halted, staring at the broken sword, his body covered in cold sweat!

The sixth steward and the others were equally shocked, disbelievingly staring at Su Mu.

A sword broken with one strike!

"Wasn't his Dantian destroyed? How did he recover his cultivation so quickly!"

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "p𝑎wread.com".

"How is this possible, all from a single Purple Flame Flower?"
