From a martial arts disciple to a god through countless trials and tribulations

Chapter 110 Xiaowen Mansion

Golden light was spreading and thunder was roaring mercilessly.

Chen Xuan poured all of his immortal energy from the Daozang realm into this astonishing arrow, tearing the sky apart. Even Heng Gu, the Destiny Master who looked down upon the cultivators of Chu, was killed by this arrow.

"Is this the power of a peerless treasure?" Countless cultivators on the earth were stunned, their spines shivering.

"Wow!"

Blood streamed from Chen Xuan's fingers, his flesh turning to mud and his finger bones turning white. He forcibly pulled the bowstring of the Thunder God Bow again, and the arrow tip moved towards the Cui family members who had just set off in the distance: "Next, it's your turn."

"Chen Xuan is at the first level of the Daoist Canon. The amount of immortal energy in his body is only enough to activate the power of a peerless treasure once." An experienced elderly Daoist Canon cultivator from the Cui family said firmly.

The Qinghe Cui family is firmly ranked in the top ten, or even the top five, among the thousand-year-old families in Chu. The family also has a peerless treasure made from the bones of ancestors in the Dinglu realm as the main material. They are very clear about how difficult it is for Taoist monks to use such treasures.

With Chen Xuan's level of cultivation, just activating the peerless treasure would exhaust his immortal energy and he would have no more strength left.

Even someone as strong as the Dragon Girl of the Rain Country, who had the cultivation level of the third or fourth level of Daozang, would almost exhaust her immortal energy after just activating the Thunder God Bow four or five times.

Moreover, except for the first time when she fully activated it, the power of each arrow shot by the Dragon Girl afterwards became smaller and smaller, only slightly stimulating a trace of the power of the treasure.

"No! Chen Xuan has taken a spiritual object similar to a land treasure tree and is replenishing his immortal energy to recover from his injuries... He has the ability to shoot a second Thunder Arrow!"

Cui Che frowned, staring solemnly at Chen Xuan, who was radiating golden light, and sighed:
"It's a pity that several of the peerless treasures inherited from our family have been taken into the even more dangerous Shangyang Cave Heaven by powerful people like the patriarch."

At the same time, he was shocked. Everyone knew that the Dragon Girl of the Rain Country had once killed Jiang Qinghuang with the Thunder God Bow. Such a rare treasure could not be lent to others. The only explanation was...

Chen Xuan, a "little man" who was promoted to Daozang a few days ago, killed the respected Dragon Girl and obtained this item from her.

This was a shocking piece of news, enough to make the entire Chu land boil!

"How dare this person! He is a descendant of the True Lord and a member of the Rain Country Dragon family. He just kills without any consideration of the consequences. His courage is so great that it makes people tremble with fear!" The cultivator of the Cui family felt his scalp tingling, and felt that the Cui family had provoked a madman.

Only someone of Jiang Qinghuang's status would dare to try to do it, but this great thing that ultimately failed due to the intervention of the Human Emperor Banner Heng Gu was actually accomplished quietly by Chen Xuan, a person of low status who devoted himself to the Southern Wilderness!
At this moment, this "madman" was pointing the Thunder God Bow at them, and thunder and lightning were gathering violently.

No one would doubt Chen Xuan's determination and courage to shoot the second arrow at the Cui family!
"... Let's avoid his attack for a while!" Cui Che's face was gloomy, and he immediately ordered his tribesmen to flee in all directions.

He was no ordinary man and was very confident in his own strength. He was sure he could withstand the next Thunderbolt Arrow attack, but what if the opponent continued to shoot a third arrow? What about the fourth arrow?

Who dares to bet on how advanced the unknown spiritual object Chen Xuan took is, and how many times it can support him to activate the Thunder God Bow!
"Zheng!"

Chen Xuan's eyes flashed with cold lightning. Without any hesitation, he shot down the fleeing Heng Gu with one arrow, and immediately shot the second arrow at the Cui family who was blocking the way!

In Shangyang Cave Heaven, Cui Tianhe, a powerful figure of the Cui family, had used his Red Divine Spear to attack the old turtle, largely because of Chen Xuan. Furthermore, Chen Xuan had heard the Cui family members discussing how to deal with Chen Xuan on the hillside, chatting and laughing freely, not shying away from the surrounding vegetation.
If entering the destiny of the Human Emperor Banner was not more important, Chen Xuan would have taken action directly when he met this group of Cui family members for the first time!
The fight started at this moment, and he had no scruples anymore. It was just a matter of convenience to fight the Cui family together!
"Boom!"

The bowstring vibrated, and a thunder arrow rushed towards the place where the Cui family was like an angry thunder dragon.

"Oh no! It's coming towards me!" Cui Che's face turned pale, and he completely lost his composure and demeanor. More than ten tribesmen fled in all directions, but the Xiaolei Arrow shot by Chen Xuan was coming towards him.

Is the other party targeting him?
"Young Master, save me!" A Daozang Realm clan member behind Cui Che screamed in horror.

“Long…”

The Thunder Arrow came whistling, and a purple beam of lightning that was more than ten meters wide plowed the earth and trees along the way at an astonishing speed. It had just left the bowstring a moment ago and appeared in front of him the next moment.

"Puff!" The Taoist Tibetan man didn't even have time to dodge before his figure turned into white ash in the lightning, and no body was left.

"Stop!" Cui Che was horrified and turned around in an instant to summon a treasure, which was a green square seal. It turned into a green hill blocking in front of him, with a bright green light.

"Bang!"

The Thunder Arrow rushed past, and the corner of the green square seal treasure cracked into several cracks, becoming dim and flying backwards. This priceless treasure was directly destroyed in half.

"Hah!" Cui Che gritted his teeth and raised his upper arms to resist. The [Bifang Sutra] Daozang was activated in response, and the golden-red feathers of the Bifang bird pierced his arms and grew out. At the same time, the white fairy clothes on his body burst into infinite fairy light. This was a defensive top-grade treasure.

In the end, the white fairy clothes were torn into pieces, the second treasure was half destroyed, Cui Che's arm and half of his shoulder disappeared, and blood was gushing out.

"what!"

Cui Che screamed in pain. After paying the terrible price of losing two rare treasures and suffering severe injuries, he managed to deflect the Xiao Lei Arrow and successfully saved his life.

"He's usually high and mighty, but when faced with a life-or-death crisis, he's no different from an ordinary person!"

Chen Xuan evaluated in his heart, and then pulled out the third Xiaolei Arrow.

Cui Che, a talented and outstanding man who will surely become a great master in the future, was now completely powerless in the face of the powerful attack of the Xiao Lei Shen Bow.

If the Xiaolei Shen Bow did not have such overwhelming power against the Taoist monks, why would he risk his life and the huge risk of going against the entire Rain Country to forcibly seize this peerless treasure!

"Young Master is the pillar of the Cui family for the next hundred years. He must not die here!"

An elderly monk from the Cui family who would not live for many more years was very calm. Believing that he would die, he roared and rushed towards Chen Xuan.

This is a Taoist monk whose realm is no less than Cui Che. Moreover, after exhausting his qualifications and being unable to advance to a higher level, the old man has been concentrating on studying fighting techniques for decades. His strength is very strong. The Taoist monk who has activated the [Bifang Sutra], his arms are like bird wings, holding a sharp sword treasure, and red sword energy rises into the sky.

"Old but still strong, there are heroes among the Cui family, haha, old man, I'll help you!"

Chen Xuan laughed heroically, and the third thunder arrow changed direction and shot towards the old man with wildly dancing white hair.

There was no way he could let this high-level Taoist monk who was several levels higher than him get close to him. It was too dangerous. He could only kill him on the way.

"boom!"

The sword light shattered, the precious sword broke and scattered, cutting off the big tree it encountered at the roots. Then, the old man's body was split in half by the Xiaolei Arrow, and he died in a rain of blood like a waterfall.

"Chen Xuan went on a killing spree against the Cui family of Qinghe!" People from other families and sects in the area were all horrified when they saw this.

The power of the peerless treasure was too strong. In a blink of an eye, two Taoist monks from the Cui family died!

The Hedong Pei family, the Zheng family, the Wei family, the Zhong family... and countless other aristocratic families were all shocked when they saw Chen Xuan, who looked like a golden immortal furnace.

"Chen Xuan, the chosen one of the Southern Wilds, killed the Dragon Girl of the Rain Country, seized the peerless treasure, and directly cleared out the Cui family who blocked his way. I'm afraid he will enter the arena to compete for the [Human Emperor Banner]!"

"Cui Che took the opportunity to escape."

"The deceased elder of the Cui family was a very famous elder of the clan. Decades ago, he was also a prominent figure of the younger generation. He died in such a dismal manner at the hands of Chen Xuan."

"The golden light on Chen Xuan's body began to retreat and disappear. Did the spiritual object he swallowed run out of power? He is unable to continue to activate the peerless treasure. Should we seize the Thunder God Bow..."

Countless voices of discussion echoed through the forest. Chen Xuan strode forward, first picking up the spiritual fire left behind by the deceased Daozang monk. He then recovered the broken pieces of the sword, Cui Che's small cyan seal, and the scattered Thunderbolt arrows. There were only six arrows made of the special metal, and every lost or damaged arrow was one less.

He placed several extremely valuable spoils into the Shanghe Map Scroll and headed towards the area where the [Human Emperor Banner] was located.

"Cui Che realized he could not defeat the power of the Thunder God Bow and fled, not even abandoning his own Blue Seal Noble Phantasm."

When disaster struck, everyone fled for their lives. Thanks to the old man who risked his life to cover their retreat, all the cultivators of the Cui family, including the seriously injured Cui Che, seized the hard-won opportunity, sneaked into the mountains and forests, fled, and quickly disappeared.

Chen Xuan did not pursue him, he had more important things to do.

The Cui family is no longer a threat for the time being, but the real challenge has just begun. He needs to snatch the Human Emperor Banner from the mouths of many forces including a number of aristocratic families and Jiang Qinghuang.

"Cough cough!"

On the ground, Heng Gu's bones were shattered and he fell in a pool of blood.

The Human Emperor Banner fell to the side, like a frost-bitten eggplant, as if it was feeling sympathy for its master's fall.

"No! I must not die here." Heng Gu was covered in blood and immediately opened the Taoist Canon of [The True Scripture of the Human Emperor]. He saw the shadow of a small emperor wearing a black robe and a crown on his head emerging, dragging Heng Gu, who had temporarily lost his ability to move, and was about to leave this place.

"The Human Emperor Banner!" Heng Gu reminded loudly. The shadow of the emperor started yelling in a condescending tone, then grabbed the Human Emperor Banner with his other hand and ran away at high speed.

"Nanhuang's Chen Xuan wants to fight for the Human Emperor Banner. We must not let Nanhuang succeed!" A top Taoist monk shouted, calling on Xu Shi from other families to join the scramble for the Human Emperor Banner.

Jiang Qinghuang failed, and Chen Xuan, representing the Southern Wilderness, launched a strong attack. In addition, Heng Gu was seriously injured. These aristocratic families had no reason to continue to "give way" to the Jiang family.

"Chen Xuan killed the Dragon Girl? Was he forced to become the enemy of the Dragon Girl of the Rain Country because he saved me? Is he still helping me now?" Jiang Qinghuang's mood fluctuated as he walked forward.

Previously, she had been attacked by the Heng Gu. Although her spirit had been frozen, she could still sense what was happening outside. She knew that in the critical moment of life and death, it was Chen Xuan who deliberately provoked the Dragon Girl and saved her life. For this, he also endured the Dragon Girl's merciless Thunder Arrow...

At this moment, when the other families turned against him and Heng Gu was escaping, Chen Xuan suddenly took action and intercepted Heng Gu.

Jiang Qinghuang couldn't help but think about these many things: "Chen Xuan, after all, is loyal to the State of Chu..."

She was daydreaming and moving forward at a very fast speed. She was closest to Heng Gu and had the best chance of grabbing the [Human Emperor Banner]!
"Buzz!"

At this moment, something unexpected happened.

An ancient bronze mirror the size of a lake appeared in the sky, with ripples appearing on its transparent surface. Then, one after another, bloated Taoist priests in gray robes fell from the sky like dumplings.

One after another, bloated Taoist priests landed on the ground and stood up, like gloomy black iron towers, full of murderous aura.

"A Taoist priest from outside the area? One who refines the ash qi of the Plague Department!"

As Chen Xuan hurried along, his expression darkened.

"[Xiaowen Mansion]!"

Jiang Qinghuang's heart sank. As she was well-informed, she recognized the identities of these Taoists with very distinctive features at a glance.

"The power behind the Human Emperor Banner has been forced to step onto the stage!"

An old voice sounded solemnly from Xiao Huo's black ring.

"boom!"

A middle-aged, bloated Taoist priest was the last one to fall from the sky. He was nearly three meters tall, with a waist and abdomen that was also three meters wide. He was as fat as a ball.

He held a stone bead filled with plague in his hand. The bronze mirror in the sky shrank rapidly and finally fell down, hovering behind the middle-aged Taoist's head like a divine ring.

"My surname is Lu, and the Human Emperor Banner is the Heavenly Destiny Pill that [Little Plague House] had set their sights on..."

A sharp and hoarse voice echoed out.

Dozens of bloated figures like iron towers surrounded Heng Gu, making it airtight. Plague, insects and ants filled the air. Heng Gu was terrified and shouted, "Who are you and what do you want to do?"

Taoist priest Lu looked displeased and scolded, "Useless! We are here to save you!"

Chen Xuan sneered in his heart: "Another alchemy force similar to the one that cultivated Ye Kui [Little Blue Sky]! None of them are good!"

Xiao Qingtian, looking within himself, used himself as nourishment to give birth to Ye Kui, the ultimate god of destiny.

The Small Plague House, on the other hand, clearly took a different approach. They hid in the shadows, creating a safe and favorable environment, patiently waiting for the Heavenly Mandate Human Emperor Banner's Heng Gu to naturally grow. They would only reveal themselves when the Heng Gu encountered an insurmountable crisis...

"Zheng!"

While running quickly, Chen Xuan pulled the Xiao Lei Shen Bow and without any hesitation, shot an arrow directly at Taoist Lu. The lightning flashed brilliantly!
Not to mention the small plague house, even the king of heaven is here today.

He must take down the Human Emperor Banner!
"Oh? A lowly, uncouth fellow from a poor and remote mountainous area, have you even heard of the name of 'Little Plague House'? Relying on a peerless treasure, you really think you can do anything, and you dare to attack!"

Taoist priest Lu sneered, stepped forward, and with a wave of his sleeves, the ancient bronze mirror behind his head immediately turned into a stream of light, blocking in front of him, and transformed into a huge mirror-like sky curtain, flowing with wisps of fairy mist.

A peerless treasure!

"clang!"

The Xiao Lei Arrow hit the ancient bronze mirror, and thousands of lightning bolts raged, causing the mirror surface to shake like rippling water. Then, the power of the Xiao Lei Arrow was completely blocked, and it did not affect the group of bloated Taoists behind the mirror.

"Come again! I don't believe a broken mirror can stay hard forever!"

Chen Xuan once again broke off a small piece of the Jinyu Paste from the Mountain Ghost Jade Plate, and continuously pulled the Xiaolei God Bow. One Xiaolei Arrow after another flew into the sky, tearing through it.

"Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!"

"This..." Taoist priest Lu's face changed. Chen Xuan shot four arrows in a row, almost turning the area in front of the ancient bronze mirror into a sea of thunder and lightning. With a click, the mirror surface of the sky curtain shattered, and the ancient bronze mirror flew back, dim and without any light.

"puff!"

Taoist priest Lu raised his head and spat out a mouthful of blood. Five arrows were shot forward and backward, and the ancient bronze mirror was suppressed and knocked away. He was also injured by the backlash.

"You can't protect the Human Emperor Banner!"

Chen Xuan's face was as hard as iron. He took out the broken hand of the old turtle from the scroll of mountains and rivers. He held the magic bow in his left hand and the turtle hand in his right hand. He was full of fighting spirit and rushed to the Taoist priest of Xiaowen Mansion.
