Chapter 793: Slaying the Innate

At this moment, Zhao Zhenxuan’s feelings could only be described as frantic rage.

As an innate strong fighter who had overseen Chibi City for decades, his spirit and will were immensely powerful.

However, witnessing one elite subordinate after another being calmly killed by Wang Chen, with no way to stop it, even his composed demeanor couldn’t prevent his eyes from threatening to burst with rage.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard Zhao Zhenxuan tried, he was always one step behind Wang Chen.

The two chased each other through the underground, their true forms nearly invisible, only accompanied by screams, as the number of surviving blue-clad martial artists dwindled.

Yet, these elite fighters were also remarkably brave, refusing to flee or beg for mercy under such dire circumstances.

The final outcome was that they all fell beneath Wang Chen’s spear.

All this transpired in less than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea!

Initially, Zhao Zhenxuan had exerted all his strength to chase Wang Chen, but after several failed attempts and being outmaneuvered, he finally acknowledged the gap in speed and movement techniques between himself and Wang Chen.

The innate strong fighter began to entertain thoughts of retreat.

If he couldn’t even catch up, then even if Wang Chen wasn’t his match, escaping wouldn’t be a problem for him.

What was the point of staying if he couldn’t handle Wang Chen?

With such thoughts surfacing, Zhao Zhenxuan’s zeal for the chase quickly diminished.

He started to ponder more about how to manage the aftermath.

Just then, Zhao Zhenxuan noticed that Wang Chen had come to a halt.

Holding his spear, he faced Zhao Zhenxuan directly!

Zhao Zhenxuan’s heart skipped a beat.

He was shocked to realize that in the underground, no one remained standing except himself and Wang Chen!

All twelve elite subordinates had perished!

Zhao Zhenxuan couldn’t help but take a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil within, and said in a deep voice, “I must admit, I made a grave mistake. I greatly underestimated you!”

Wang Chen remained silent, yet his gaze toward Zhao Zhenxuan held a hint of mockery.

Keep pretending, go on!

Zhao Zhenxuan keenly sensed the disdain in Wang Chen’s eyes; he nearly exploded with anger and barely held himself together.

Maintaining a calm facade, this innate strong fighter continued, “When two tigers fight, one will surely be injured. Wang Chen, we are both innate martial artists with no deep-seated grudges; there’s no need for it to end in death for one of us.”

“How about this!”

He gritted his teeth and said, “This time, I’ll concede your victory. From today onward, you are the new Lord of Chibi!”

With matters reaching this point, Zhao Zhenxuan was not naive enough to think he could dismiss Wang Chen with just a few words.

This innate strong fighter had to consider that his own path was at an end, while Wang Chen’s future was limitless. If he didn’t resolve this matter now, the future losses could be tenfold!

His greatest asset was this city of Chibi.

So, despite his reluctance, Zhao Zhenxuan made what he believed to be a wise choice.

“But I hope you can grant me some time to take my family and part of my assets away.”

Zhao Zhenxuan had presided over Chibi City for ten years, and the Zhao clan, under his leadership, was undeniably the largest clan in the city, boasting numerous enterprises and staggering wealth.

He understood that a considerable portion of this wealth must remain, yet he deemed it fair to take some with him.

Zhao Zhenxuan believed his request was not unreasonable.

But then, Wang Chen replied, “It’s a trouble. I’d rather just kill you.”

What?

Zhao Zhenxuan could scarcely believe his ears.

He had humbled himself, stooping to a level of humiliation he had never before endured in his life.

Never had he imagined that Wang Chen would be so unappreciative!

The innate strong fighter erupted in fury: “You…”

A long spear shot through the air!

Wang Chen’s response was as straightforward as it was brutal.

Zhao Zhenxuan’s face flushed red in an instant, and all his illusions were shattered.

“Kill!”

Thus began an earth-shattering battle between innate strong fighters.

The rumbling sounds were relentless, countless fragments of stone and dust cascaded down, and invisible energy sliced through the hard rock wall, severing several thick stalactite columns.

Dust swirled, engulfing both combatants.

After what seemed like an eternity, the commotion in the underground finally subsided, and the dust settled.

Wang Chen was the first to emerge, holding the Mountain Slayer Blade, his clothes torn in two places, yet his expression remained calm and composed.

Three steps away, Zhao Zhenxuan knelt on the ground, his head bowed.

A long spear had pierced his back, emerging two feet from his chest.

The spear had pierced the heart of this innate strong fighter!

“Cough, cough!”

Yet, Zhao Zhenxuan’s life force was remarkably tenacious; he did not die immediately. With great effort, he lifted his head and said, “Wang Chen, losing to you, I accept it wholeheartedly. It is a death I deserve.”

If time could be reversed, he would never have set his sights on Wang Chen.

But now, regret was futile.

“You may take all my wealth and assets; I only ask that you spare the Zhao clan.”

As he spoke, Zhao Zhenxuan drew a blood-stained jade seal from his bosom and said, “This is the seal of Chibi City; it is now yours.”

With these words, his head slumped in defeat.

【Qi and blood +100000】

What a futile struggle!

Wang Chen shook his head.

He was a visitor from another world, staying in Chibi City solely to await Hu Jiao Jiao, harboring no intentions of coveting the city.

Yet, while a man may not harm a tiger’s heart, the tiger still harbors the intent to harm, leading to the current outcome; it could only be said that fate had decreed it so!

Zhao Zhenxuan believed his cultivation level surpassed Wang Chen’s and was confident that the Mountain Slayer Blade formation would secure his victory. Little did he know, Wang Chen had already reached the pinnacle of innate strong fighters, bolstered by three divine weapons!

The Mountain Slayer Blade formation was nothing more than a jest!

Wang Chen took the seal of Chibi City left by Zhao Zhenxuan but refrained from touching any other belongings of this innate strong fighter.

He disposed of Zhao Zhenxuan’s body along with his twelve subordinates into a pit, covering them with large rocks.

This was his final act of respect towards an innate strong fighter.

Subsequently, Wang Chen returned to Chibi City.

Upon his return, the first thing he did was seek out Shao Hongcheng and state bluntly, “Senior brother, I have killed Zhao Zhenxuan.”

“What?”

Shao Hongcheng doubted his own hearing: “What did you say?”

“I killed Zhao Zhenxuan!”

Wang Chen revealed the seal of Chibi City: “He plotted to kill me, but instead, I ended his life. It’s as simple as that.”

Shao Hongcheng was dumbfounded.

After a long pause, he finally composed himself: “This, this…”

Shao Hongcheng was at a loss for words.

Zhao Zhenxuan was actually dead.

And he had fallen at the hands of Wang Chen—this was earth-shattering!

He swallowed hard and cautiously inquired, “Junior brother, what are your plans now?”

“Whatever must be done,” Wang Chen replied lightly. “I intend to remain in Chibi City for a while longer.”

“Then you are the Lord of Chibi!”

Shao Hongcheng clenched his fists. “Junior brother, I stand with you!”

He recognized this as a monumental opportunity.

Wang Chen smiled.

“No, you are the Lord of Chibi.”
