Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator

"What is there to be surprised? Your attack can't hit me even if you try another hundred times", Zhan Chen replied the devil with a mocking look on his face.

The devil became incensed after hearing Zhan Chen's reply. "Human, you are courting death", he shouted angrily and pounced towards Zhan Chen.

Zhan Chen noticed a certain change in the devil's body and a curious look appeared on his face. A reddened hue came out from the devil's body as it increased it's size by a head. The spikes in its body also lengthened with the increase in it's height.

"Human, watch me as I pulverize your stinky mouth", the devil spoke and swung it's elbow towards Zhan Chen.

Zhan Chen brought forward his sword to stop it's attack but the force was so much that he was thrown to a side.

The devil didn't want to give him any time to recover. So, it immediately pressed towards Zhan Chen and launched an energy attack from it's third eye.

A huge blast occured in the place where Zhan Chen was lying and a gleeful look appeared on the face of the devil. It took some time for the dust to settle down and there was a deep hole in the place of the blast.

The devil lowered it's head to look at Zhan Chen but to it's dismay, Zhan Chen was not present at the center of the blast. It looked around and saw Zhan Chen looking towards him with a calm look on his face.

For some reason, the devil felt a chill running down in it's spine after it saw the look on Zhan Chen's face.

Zhan Chen 's robe was slightly disheavelaled as he escaped the impact of devil's attack but it couldn't give him any injury despite the suddenness of the attack.

"Devil, you seem to be at your strongest form. So, let's see whether your body is tougher or my sword is more sharp", Zhan Chen spoke.

He brought his sword infront of him and closed his eyes. The devil could feel that something changed in the air as soon as Zhan Chen closed his eyes. It couldn't point out what has changed but a growing feeling of uneasiness crept into his heart.

"I can't let this human continue whatever he is doing", the devil thought to himself and launched an energy attack towards Zhan Chen.

Zhan Chen opened his eyes at the next moment and there was no panic on his face. He did a simple shash with his sword and the energy attack of the devil cut in half before reaching his body.

"What did you do?", the devil asked with a horrified look on his face. Zhan Chen 's eyes were calm but for some reason the devil felt like it would be blind if it looked at Zhan Chen's eyes any longer.

All of its pride left its body as it did a simple thing what human would do in this situation. It immediately turned it's back and ran towards the distance with all its might. In its entire life, nobody had given it so much scare like Zhan Chen did.

"Running will not help you. Stay quiet and let me check the sharpness of my sword on your body", Zhan Chen spoke. The devil got startled for a moment after hearing Zhan Chen's words but it immediately increased it's pace after hearing the words of Zhan Chen.

Zhan Chen kicked the ground with his right leg and propelled himself to the air. "Heaven judgement. Three rays of sacred punishment", he spoke calmly and swung his sword towards the escaping devil.

The sky became illuminated for a moment as three glowing rays came towards the devil. Before it could react, it got impelled by the three gleaming energy rays.

"Demon...", it could only mutter this much before it's lifeless body crashed on the ground. Zhan Chen landed on the ground calmly and looked towards the lifeless body of the devil.

"No matter how powerful it postures itself, it is not more than an insignificant devil creature. The true devils are those who have family names and rule over the other devil beings of a region", Zhan Chen thought to himself.

He took a last look at the surrounding before walking towards the exit of the formation.

-------------------

"What a monster! To be able to use such a sword intent at his age. Really incredible", a murmuring sound rang in the air just after Zhan Chen stepped out of the formation.

An energetic looking old man appeared in the air just after Zhan Chen had left. He threw a curious look towards the fallen body of the devil and the shock in his heart further deepened.

"What an incredible technique!", he murmured to himself and disappeared into the thin air again.

Zhan Chen walked leisurely after stepping out of the formation. He had a smile on his face as he felt the presence of the expert. "Fortunately, I have sensed him just after entering the formation. Otherwise, It would be troublesome if he had seen through some of my secrets", Zhan Chen thought to himself.

He didn't face any more trouble while walking out of the forest. There were few magical beasts who came to hinder him but they ran away after sensing the intimidating aura around him.

There were few Spirit palace experts at the other side of the Serpentine forest. They immediately approached Zhan Chen after seeing him walking out.

"You cleared all the layers?", an expert of the Spirit palace looked towards Zhan Chen. There was clear disbelief on his face as he observed him.

Zhan Chen nodded his face calmly and took out his token. He handed over the token to the expert and walked towards the venue of the Grand sect competition.

"Wait, I will take you there", another expert of of the Siprit palace shouted from the back.

"Thank you for your consideration", Zhan Chen spoke and waited for the expert to arrive. The expert of the Spirit palace brought out a flying treasure and Zhan Chen climbed on it to return to the venue of the Grand sect competition.

"Zhan Chen, you are really amazing. None of us have thought that you will be the winner of this year's grand sect competition", the expert from the Spirit palace spoke while guiding his flying treasure in the air.

"Senior, thank you again for your praise. If you want we can be acquintances", Zhan Chen spoke.

"Acquaintances, we?", the expert of the Spirit palace became confused.

"Yes, I have a good proposal for you. If you agree, then it will be highly beneficial for your cultivation", Zhan Chen spoke.

The spirit palace expert looked incredulouly towards Zhan Chen and asked him to elaborate. His confused look turned into a speechless one after he heard what Zhan Chen had to say.

"You are saying that you can help me in breaking into middle Tribulation realm?", the expert looked towards Zhan Chen.

Zhan Chen nodded his head. "And in return you have to protect my women from shadow while they are in the Longyang city", Zhan Chen spoke.

"I will happily accept such a deal but how can I beleive you? Helping an early Tribulation realm expert in cultivation, that is an absurd claim from your part", the expert spoke.

"Well, it is not like you can deny. Please have some patience before I am prepared to help you", Zhan Chen spoke. The expert nodded his head subconsciously but he was unaware that Zhan Chen had already invaded his soul.

Zhan Chen had no bad intention for him but he couldn't risk to have any loose end. He would leave Lin Xintong and Sun Xiu lan in the Longyang city. So, he was making the arrangement in advance.
