Chapter 965: Chapter 962: Slaying the Golden Snake Playboy!

Ximen Qingxue saw someone daring to attack her, and feeling both angry and indignant, she brandished her sword, stabbing fiercely towards him.

Golden Snake Playboy, realizing his failed strike, retreated rapidly.

With anger boiling in her heart and nowhere to vent, and now with Golden Snake Playboy hitting right into her sights, how could she let it go?

Golden Snake Playboy, seeing Ximen Qingxue pursuing closely, instinctively lifted his golden cane to block.

“Clang clang!”

The sound of metal clashing resonated in mid-air, instantly bursting into a dazzling shower of sparks.

Ximen Qingxue’s eyes widened in rage as she shouted, “Who are you, and why did you ambush me?”

Golden Snake Playboy did not answer but instead revealed a strange smile.

Immediately, the golden cane in his hand suddenly opened its bloodthirsty mouth, spewing out a stream of orange smoke, which rushed towards Ximen Qingxue.

Ximen Qingxue had not anticipated that Golden Snake Playboy had such a vile trick up his sleeve. Unprepared, she fell victim to it on the spot.

Following that, she felt dizzy and unsteady, with overlapping shadows before her eyes, as if the world had turned upside down.

“Damn it, what did you spray at me?”

Seeing his tactic succeed this time, Golden Snake Playboy’s lips curled into a sinister smile.

“You’ve inhaled my exclusive smoke, you can’t escape now!”

Just as he was about to move forward to capture Ximen Qingxue, a Sword Shadow split through the air towards him.

Golden Snake Playboy, shocked to his core, abandoned Ximen Qingxue to face Li Chen.

“Crack!”

The Sword Shadow shot forward like a long rainbow, slicing Golden Snake Playboy’s golden cane in half on the spot.

Golden Snake Playboy, as if struck by a Thunder Strike, stumbled back hundreds of feet, crashing into a mountain and leaving a human-deep pit, where he finally came to a stop.

Upon seeing his golden cane shattered into two halves in front of him, he was utterly astonished.

It was known that his golden cane was forged from ten-thousand-year-old Mystic Iron, capable of withstanding a blow from a Nascent Soul Great Power without defeat.

But now, it was effortlessly cleaved into two, which was nothing short of terrifying!

At first, he assumed that the Cannibal Flower Demon had failed due to carelessness.

Now it seemed, she overestimated her capability, provoking an entity she shouldn’t have tangled with.

With that thought, only one idea filled Golden Snake Playboy’s mind:

Run!

Though he had a crippled leg, he ran with remarkable speed.

Comparably swift as the Lightning Weasel, his pace was no less.

Imagine if he had healthy legs, how fast would he be then?

“Haha, you touched my woman and think you can escape unscathed?”

Li Chen sneered, chasing after at a speed twice as fast as Golden Snake Playboy.

Golden Snake Playboy never expected that Li Chen not only possessed a fearsome Sword Dao but also movement technique as terrifying.

What kind of monster was this?

“Who are you really?”

Golden Snake Playboy asked this trembling with fear.

“Swish!”

Before the echo of Golden Snake Playboy’s voice faded, a concentrated Sword Rainbow pierced through his throat’s Life Gate at lightning speed.

“Remember my name, Li Chen!”

Having said that, Li Chen swiftly withdrew the Seven-star Dragon Abyss.

“Pfft!”

Blood spilled across the sky!

However, upon hearing the name Li Chen, the previously shocked expression in Golden Snake Playboy’s eyes showed a hint of understanding and calmness.

Li Chen was famed from the battle at Tianmang Mountain, a legendary name he surely heard.

A monster unseen in a thousand years in the Ancient Nine Provinces, who even Nascent Soul Great Power had fallen to.

To die at the hands of such a prodigy as Li Chen was not too unjust.

Thus fell a generation’s demon!

Upon hearing Li Chen’s remark, “You touched my woman and still wish to escape unharmed?” Ximen Qingxue felt joy welling up like sweet honey in her heart.

“Li Chen!”

She called Li Chen’s name affectionately.

Yet, her expression was somewhat dazed, as if the whole world was spinning.

Seeing this, Li Chen frowned.

He was previously focused on dealing with the Cannibal Flower Demon, neglecting the hidden Golden Snake Playboy, which led to Ximen Qingxue’s plight. Li Chen felt somewhat guilty.

But now was clearly not the time for remorse!

Li Chen quickly stepped forward and held Ximen Qingxue tightly in his embrace.

“Qingxue, are you okay?”

At this moment, Ximen Qingxue was gradually losing her senses.

Seeing this, Li Chen immediately sealed her acupuncture points to prevent her True Yuan from reversing and damaging her meridians.

Subsequently, he continuously transferred his True Yuan into Ximen Qingxue’s body, healing and detoxifying her wounds.

Soon, Ximen Qingxue slowly fell into slumber.

Upon closer inspection, Li Chen noticed that Ximen Qingxue’s features were exceedingly delicate, with long eyelashes that seemed to speak, trembling slightly with her even breathing. Her mouth bore a hint of a sweet smile, as if a child had received a beloved toy…
