Chapter 082: Divine Power

Chen Xiao remained calm, his expression indifferent as he glanced at Zhang Yiwen with a faint smile. After a few breaths, the two released their hands, and Zhang Yiwen finally exhaled slowly.
“What immense power! With my strength as a first-tier ancient martial artist, I’m completely unable to match him. Could he be a second-tier powerhouse?” In Zhang Yitao’s understanding, second-tier powerhouses were already astonishing in the mundane world. Even stronger ones, such as third- or fourth-tier, usually existed in the world of supernatural abilities, exploring and opening up such realms. Ordinary people, even if they knew of the existence of supernatural beings, couldn’t fathom the even more powerful ones among them. For example, the member of the Murong family sent to capture Chen Xiao was a second-tier martial warrior.
However, their initial test had been carried out very discreetly, with no one else noticing anything amiss. Soon, Zhang Yiwen and the others brought Chen Xiao to a meeting room on the tenth floor of the Bai Long Building.
“Mr. Chen Xiao, I suppose your joining my Blood Dragon Hall is also a surprise,” Zhang Yiwen said with a smile, glancing at Zhang Yitao on the other side.
“Indeed, it’s a surprise. But this token has been quite useful, solving a few of my minor problems,” Chen Xiao said, holding up the Blood Dragon Token with a smile.
“Enough of this nonsense. Let’s get down to business,” Zhang Yitao interjected, annoyed by the exchange between the two, who seemed to be trying to probe each other.
“Get down to business?” Chen Xiao shook his head. “You’re not yet qualified to discuss business with me.”
As soon as Chen Xiao spoke, everyone present glared at him, furious at his words.
“Don’t tell me you don’t know about supernatural beings. Bring out the supernatural beings behind you. You’re not yet qualified to enter our domain,” Chen Xiao said calmly, his expression unchanged.
“This…” The men’s expressions froze as they were speechless. They were all high-ranking members of the Blood Dragon Hall in Jinghua City—how could they possibly not know about supernatural beings? It was just that previously, only Zhang Yitao and Zhang Yiwen knew Chen Xiao’s identity.
“You’re a supernatural being?” a young man in his twenties or thirties asked skeptically.
“Yes,” Chen Xiao nodded.
“How do you prove it?” the young man persisted.
“What, do you think I’m a circus performer? Should I perform for you in public?” Chen Xiao snorted. With a movement of his mental power, the young man’s face turned pale, and he stepped back three times.
Chen Xiao ignored them further. His mental power instantly enveloped the entire meeting room. This time, his mental power seemed almost tangible, forming a vast mental storm. The dozen people in the room all turned pale and stepped back, clearly suffering significant mental damage. At the same time, fear appeared in their eyes as they looked at Chen Xiao.
“Hm? Nothing?” Chen Xiao frowned slightly before expanding his mental power to cover the entire tenth floor of the Bai Long Building.

“Not a single person with spiritual energy fluctuations?” Chen Xiao frowned. The next moment, he looked up and saw a surveillance camera on the ceiling of the conference room, its red light flashing.

Chen Xiao sneered inwardly. Focusing his mental power through his eyes, he glared fiercely at the camera.

This time, he hadn’t come here to cooperate with the Blood Dragon Hall—he wanted to establish his dominance and force them to submit to him.

Chen Xiao was no longer the novice he used to be. Although he hadn’t been in this world of supernatural abilities for long, he already understood just how terrifying the power he now possessed was.

Moreover, a fourth-tier supernatural being already held absolute influence in this world.

Sure enough, on the other side of the camera, a third-tier supernatural being turned pale at the sight of Chen Xiao’s piercing gaze through the electronic barrier and stumbled back several steps.

“Xiao Wu!” Another supernatural being pulled him back, but he still tumbled several steps before managing to steady himself.

“So strong!” A trickle of blood slowly flowed from the corner of Xiao Wu’s mouth. A third-tier supernatural being like him had been severely injured just by Chen Xiao’s gaze through a camera.

“Third Brother, we should go confront him. We underestimated this guy.” Xiao Wu’s face was deathly pale, and his whole body began to tremble slightly.

Divine Might!

Chen Xiao had begun to integrate his primary divine entity, allowing him to unleash a trace of its divine might. Though this was insignificant compared to the full power hidden within the divine entity, it was more than enough to deal with a third-tier supernatural being.

Of course, the current supernatural beings couldn’t comprehend something like divine might.

In Xiao Wu’s eyes, deep in his heart, Chen Xiao had already become an invincible existence—this was the shadow left by divine might.

“Xiao Wu, don’t go down. I’ll deal with him.” Third Brother’s expression shifted rapidly.

At that moment, only these two supernatural beings were in the Hundred Dragons Building. After all, the Blood Dragon Hall was merely a tool for supernatural beings—control it from afar, no need to be there constantly.

Besides, swallowing the Black Tiger Gate was nothing but a joke in their eyes. To these two, Chen Xiao was just an arrogant upstart.

The supernatural beings behind the Blood Dragon Hall, Black Tiger Gate, and Wind Axe Society had long had an agreement—there was no way they could merge with each other. It was just that people like Zhang Yitao didn’t realize this.

“Have you finally arrived?”

Chen Xiao’s mental power covered the entire tenth floor. When Third Brother appeared on the tenth floor, Chen Xiao immediately noticed him.

“Everyone, leave,” Third Brother said to the dozen or so high-ranking members of the Blood Dragon Hall as he entered the conference room.

“Understood.” These people were the true core members and naturally knew Third Brother’s identity. Seeing him step in, they immediately left the room.

“You’re strong,” Third Brother said, looking at Chen Xiao in a very calm tone. “Tell me, what’s your goal?”

“My goal?” Chen Xiao smiled. “The people from the Black Tiger Gate attacked my brother. I just want revenge.”

“Retaliate at Black Tiger Gate? Then why did you come to my Blood Dragon Hall?” Third Brother’s tone was cold.
Chen Xiao slowly raised the Blood Dragon Token and smiled, saying, “I’m also a member of the Blood Dragon Hall, right?”
“Damn it, who gave this to you?” Third Brother said through gritted teeth.
“Hehe, actually, the day I joined the Blood Dragon Hall, I said I wouldn’t be anyone’s underling. If I have to be someone’s subordinate, I’ll be the leader.” Chen Xiao shook his head and sighed.
“You have big ambitions.” Third Brother stepped back slightly.
“No need to be so nervous,” Chen Xiao said with a smile. “I know there are definitely more supernatural beings behind the Blood Dragon Hall than just the two of you. Bring them all here; I’ll wait here.”
Chen Xiao gently pulled a chair behind him and sat down.
