After receiving the system notification, Chen Daoxuan immediately appeared at the scene without any hesitation!
When he arrived, he saw Leng Yanran about to end her own life, which gave him quite a scare. He quickly stopped her.
It had taken him so long to find a Saint-Grade genius who met the requirements to be accepted as his disciple. If she died now, who knew how long he would have to wait for another opportunity!
As for the strange atmosphere in the clearing, Chen Daoxuan paid no attention to it.
Within the range of his Heavenly Dao Hall, he was practically a god—nothing to worry about at all!
After observing Leng Yanran for a moment, Chen Daoxuan's eyes lit up.
Not only did this potential disciple have incredible talent, but she was also extremely pleasing to the eye!
Moreover, she didn't seem quite human... Was she a succubus?
"Young master, those three are Profound Sky experts. If you can't defeat them, please let me go and escape while you still can!"
Leng Yanran was surprised that this young man had stopped her from taking her life.
Perhaps it was his handsome appearance, or maybe the knowledge that her life was nearing its end, but she actually advised him to flee instead of getting involved.
"Kid, if you know what's good for you, step aside. After I've had my fun, I'll give you a quick death," sneered one of the killers, the one known as the third brother. "If not... heh, I'll show you what real suffering is!"
The third assassin glanced dismissively at Chen Daoxuan, sensing no significant power from him.
Seeing that he appeared to be just a young man, the killer lowered his guard.
"Girl, would you be willing to take me as your master?"
Chen Daoxuan paid no attention to the three assassins.
They were within the range of his Heavenly Dao Hall, so even if they tried to escape, it would only happen if he allowed it.
The most important thing right now was to complete the system's task—accept this disciple. As for the three assassins? They were nothing.
"This..."
Leng Yanran was stunned by the sudden question.
However, to the assassins, this scene appeared terrifying, almost demonic.
"Big brother, let's attack together! There's something strange about this guy!"
The remaining two assassins finally snapped out of their shock.
Moments ago, they hadn't even seen Chen Daoxuan move, and now their companion was dead without a trace. Worse, the young man seemed completely unfazed by the situation.
Filled with fear, they unleashed their strongest attacks on Chen Daoxuan.
"Elysium Claw!"
"Ruyi Demon Smash!"
Boom!
The powerful strikes landed squarely on Chen Daoxuan without him even attempting to dodge.
"We got him!"
"Haha, Big Brother, this kid wasn't anything special after all. He took our full-strength attack, so he must have been turned to dust by now!"
Seeing the dust and debris rise from their strikes, the two assassins were satisfied.
Even a Profound Sky expert at the Ninth Layer wouldn't have survived their combined attack, so they felt relieved.
"Damn it!"
Leng Yanran clenched her fists in frustration.
This handsome young man could have escaped, yet he chose to die here because of her!
But just then, a coughing sound emerged from the dust, leaving everyone stunned.
Cough, cough "What kind of moves were those?"
"Was your plan to raise dust and choke me to death?"
Chen Daoxuan stepped out from the cloud of debris, looking at the two assassins with a disgusted expression.
"What!?"
"Impossible! He must be using some kind of powerful defensive artifact!"
This scene, viewed by the remaining two assassins, felt as if they were witnessing a demon in action.
"Big brother, let's attack together! There's something strange about this kid!"
The remaining two assassins snapped back to their senses. They hadn't even seen how Chen Daoxuan killed their comrade. His casual comment about letting Lao San take deep breaths and die of dizziness chilled them to the bone.
Too terrifying!
They didn't dare hesitate. Both unleashed their strongest techniques, directing their full power at Chen Daoxuan.
"Elysium Claw!"
"Ruyi Demon Smash!"
Boom!
Their combined strike hit Chen Daoxuan head-on, but he didn't even try to dodge. He took the full force of the Profound Sky masters' attacks right to his body.
"We got him!"
"Haha, big brother, this kid wasn't all that after all! No way he survived that hit—he must have been obliterated!"
As dust rose from the impact, the two assassins were confident in their victory. Even a Profound Sky expert at full mastery wouldn't survive such an attack. Feeling relieved, they let their guard down.
"Damn it!"
Leng Yanran clenched her fists, feeling frustrated. This handsome young man could have fled, but instead, he sacrificed himself for her!
Just then, a coughing sound broke through the cloud of dust, shocking everyone.
Cough, cough "What kind of moves were those? Were you trying to choke me with dust?"
Chen Daoxuan emerged from the cloud, unharmed, and looked at the two assassins with disdain.
"What?!"
"Impossible! He must have used a powerful defensive artifact!"
"Big brother, we need to kill him and take that treasure!"
The two assassins snapped out of their shock and prepared to attack again.
"Enough, this is boring."
Chen Daoxuan waved his hand dismissively, as if swatting away flies.
Just as the two assassins prepared to laugh at his casual gesture, a loud bang echoed twice.
The two Profound Sky experts exploded into clouds of blood and mist.
"Just like that?"
Chen Daoxuan turned back towards Leng Yanran, trying to look as approachable as possible. He smiled at her, asking, "Was that satisfactory?"
"This… this…"
Leng Yanran was in utter shock.
The three assassins who had pursued her to the brink of death were killed effortlessly. And that gesture that turned two Profound Sky experts into blood mist—what kind of godlike power was that?
This young man must at least be at the Unity realm, or perhaps even at the unfathomable Extinction realm!
Without hesitation, Leng Yanran knelt down and respectfully bowed. "Disciple Leng Yanran greets Master!"
In her mind, even in Moro Kingdom, the strongest masters only reached the Unity realm. Extinction realm cultivators were unheard of!
"Good. From today onward, I, Chen Daoxuan, accept you as my disciple, and you shall be the first under my tutelage."
Chen Daoxuan smiled, nodding in satisfaction. He casually raised his hand, lifting Leng Yanran from the ground with a gentle force.
At the same time, the voice he had been eagerly waiting for rang out in his mind.
