Battle Through the Heavens: It turns out I'm actually the patriarch of the Xiao family!

Chapter 52 I am the ancestor of both of you regimental commanders

After leaving Hai Bodong's shop, Xiao Chen walked quietly for a while, then said softly, "Chenxuan, that old man was once a Dou Huang powerhouse."

"What?!" Leng Chenxuan's eyes widened instantly.

"Surprised?"

You'd be even more surprised if you knew who he was.

"Please tell me, sir." Leng Chenxuan's interest was piqued.

Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "His name is Hai Bodong. You may not have heard of this name, but I think you should have heard of his other name."

"Ice Emperor!"

Upon hearing the words "Ice Emperor," Leng Chenxuan was first taken aback, and then his expression clearly changed.

Recalling the strange old man from before, although he had always lived in seclusion in the deep mountains with his teacher, he was still quite familiar with this once famous powerhouse in the Gama Empire.

Ice Emperor, one of the top ten strongest figures in the previous generation of the Gama Empire.

He is aloof and arrogant, and extremely skilled in ice-based battle aura. Once, in a fit of rage, he froze an entire city.

Among the top ten strongest individuals of that time, he was one of the few Dou Huang level experts.

Later, he fought a decisive battle with the former sect leader of Yunlan Sect at the summit of Yunlan Mountain. Although he was defeated in the end, his opponent still won with great difficulty.

At the previous tournament of the strongest warriors held by the Gama Empire and the Izumo Empire, he fought against one Dou Huang and one Dou Wang from the opposing side without being defeated, which amazed the entire audience.

After that tournament of powerful figures, the Ice Emperor gradually disappeared from the sight of countless people.

Leng Chenxuan never imagined that this unassuming old man would be the Ice Emperor who had once given the powerful elites of the Yun Empire a major headache.

"Alright, I don't care what you're doing in Mocheng, just focus on your own business."

Xiao Chen waved his hand and walked forward, saying, "We'll part ways here."

"My lord, where can I find you in the future?" Leng Chenxuan asked hurriedly.

"Don't worry, you'll find out in time."

After saying that, Xiao Chen smiled slightly and walked towards the city gate.

Only Leng Chenxuan, who was left behind, looked completely bewildered.

Half an hour later, under the awe-inspiring gazes of the city's guards, Xiao Chen walked out of Mo City.

In the vast desert, golden sand is the only dominant color.

The gale carried sand, sweeping across the land.

With a whooshing sound, a streak of light swept across the yellow sand, leaving a trail on the ground, but it was quickly swallowed up by the sand again.

Xiao Chen didn't plan to waste time on the road, so he flew directly from Mo City to Shimo City.

At Xiao Jin's speed, it won't take long at all.

Soon, the Stone Desert City, located in the Tagor Desert, came into Xiao Chen's sight.

Looking at the Stone Desert City not far away, Xiao Chen's smile deepened.

He landed a few hundred meters from Stone Desert City and walked to the city gate, having already taken off his alchemist robes.

So he discreetly followed the flow of people in.

"There are quite a lot of people."

The city in the desert saw a considerable number of people coming and going, most of whom carried swords and had fierce expressions.

Another group consisted of itinerant merchants.

Compared to other cities within the empire, Stone Desert City possessed a more imposing and somber atmosphere.

Those who settle here are drawn by the desert's resources.

Perhaps because of the snake people, the defenses here are much stronger than those in the desert city.

Fully armed soldiers can be seen patrolling everywhere in the city.

After entering the city, Xiao Chen easily found out the location of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group by asking around.

"This mercenary group certainly has quite a reputation in Stone Desert City."

Xiao Chen headed directly towards the south of the city.

After turning a few corners, a courtyard that was almost as large as the Xiao family compound in Wutan City came into view.

Above the courtyard, a thick and sturdy flagpole stands tall and proud.

At the top of the flagpole, a large black flag is being pulled and swayed by the desert wind, sometimes stretching out like a blade cleaving the sky, and sometimes surging like an undercurrent.

At the center of the flag were five bold, bold characters written in strong, dark ink: "Desert Iron Mercenary Group".

The ink, as dark and intense as dried, parched blood, seeped deep into the coarse texture of the flag cloth, subtly revealing an aura of iron-blooded strength.

Looking at the flag, Xiao Chen's lips curled up.

In a way, this is now his territory too.

"Halt! This is the territory of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group. Non-members are not allowed to enter!"

Suddenly, two men wielding long spears blocked Xiao Chen's path.

Xiao Chen was not in a hurry, but calmly smiled and said, "I am the ancestor of both of you commanders."

As soon as the words were spoken, the air seemed to freeze instantly.

The next moment, the eyes of the two mercenaries widened suddenly, and anger exploded in their eyes.

The word "ancestor" is considered the most vicious insult and the most blatant provocation on the territory of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group!

"presumptuous!"

"You ignorant fool!"

The roars rang out almost simultaneously!

The mercenary on the left, with a thin scar on his face, had his hair and beard standing on end. His dark face had turned purplish-red with rage, and the veins on his arm, which was gripping a spear, were bulging.

Without a second thought, he took a sudden step forward, his spear tearing through the air like a raging viper, whistling sharply as it aimed straight for Xiao Chen's throat.

This shot was swift and ruthless, showing no mercy whatsoever, its killing intent fully revealed, clearly intended to kill the arrogant madman who had uttered such boastful words on the spot.

"Tong Kang!"

The companion on the right seemed slightly calmer than the mercenary named Tong Kang. He instinctively wanted to stop his companion's overreaction, but he was also completely enraged by Xiao Chen's words. His spear was only half a beat slower, and he also thrust it out without hesitation along with Tong Kang, forming a pincer attack, aiming directly at Xiao Chen's vital chest and abdomen.

Faced with the two attacks, Xiao Chen's smile not only did not disappear, but deepened.

Just before the spear tip touched his body, his body shifted slightly to the side in an almost impossible manner.

The movements were extremely small and as fast as a ghost.

Bang!Bang!

With two muffled thuds, the two were sent flying by Xiao Chen.

As soon as the two landed, before Xiao Chen could even speak, the mercenary who had attacked second took out his whistle and blew it.

Xiao Chen nodded inwardly, "Quick reaction."

Upon hearing the gatekeeper's whistle, a group of burly men quickly grabbed their weapons and rushed into the courtyard, staring intently at Xiao Chen.

Without the slightest hesitation or unnecessary words, all the mercenaries shouted and charged straight at Xiao Chen with their weapons.

"Perfect, let me see how strong this mercenary group is."

Xiao Chen smiled faintly, not in a hurry to prove his identity, and leisurely walked towards the group of burly men in front of him.

The result was predictable: Xiao Chen's strength was overwhelming in every aspect.

Although Xiao Chen did not go all out, no one could stop his punch.

Before long, most of the mercenaries were lying on the ground howling.

Xiao Chen also lost his patience. He took a step forward and stood next to the flag in the courtyard, hovering in mid-air.

All the members of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group stared wide-eyed.

"Walking on air!"

"A Dou Zong level expert?!"
