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

Chapter 111: Seizing the Emperor's Banner

The land was in complete chaos, with thunder and lightning dancing wildly, fire steaming, plague spreading, and endless fighting breaking out.

Chen Xuan was like an unsheathed sword, suddenly appearing out of nowhere, carrying the power of a peerless treasure, invincible, and directly overturning the chessboard where various forces were competing.

What are you talking about calculations and maneuvers, plots and schemes? When the real fight breaks out, only the strongest swords can make a sound!
"kill!"

Chen Xuan rushed out with great force, his whole body shining with golden light, accompanied by the purple thunder of the Xiao Lei Shen Bow and the black and gold light of the old turtle's broken hand. His whole body was enveloped by all kinds of dazzling light. The scene was too terrifying. Not to mention ordinary people, even the Yuhua realm cultivators could not look directly at the light, and their naked eyes would be burned.

"Boom!" Chen Xuan rushed into the sky, swung his black and gold tortoise fist, and slammed it down heavily, knocking the Taoist priest named Lu who stepped forward from the sky, and his chest was almost completely shattered.

However, this Taoist Lu is unfathomable. He is a truly top-level Taoist monk with unparalleled vitality. Even after suffering heavy blows one after another, he still shows no signs of defeat.

"You only have one arrow left, no backup! You dare to go against the Little Plague House and seek your own death!"

Taoist Lu fell from the sky, covered in blood, but he was laughing ferociously and making a low roar.

He hailed from the ancient Daoist monastery, Little Plague Mansion, and was a top-tier Daozang-level cultivator. He monitored the Human Emperor Banner's Eternal Gu, and also carried a peerless treasure to prevent any unforeseen events. Even if he was temporarily at a disadvantage against Chen Xuan, how could he truly fear? "The path of the Human Emperor Banner won't end here. A mindless fool, do you really think you can turn the tables?"

"Why would I continue to use Thunder Arrows to deal with a thing like you?"

Chen Xuan approached, swung the Xiaolei Shen Bow in his left hand, and lightning and thunder came like a waterfall, smashing towards Taoist Lu's head.

His attacks were full of ruthlessness and he held nothing back. In this world where the strong prey on the weak, if he didn't strike ruthlessly, he would be killed by his opponents.

Wherever the Human Emperor Banner Heng Gu went, there was bloodshed. When it first gained power in the Outer Realm, it once massacred cities, killing countless helpless mortals. Forces like the Small Plague Mansion, which protected Heng Gu, were completely devoid of kindness and treated all living beings like ants.

"The Plague-Stopping Bead!" Taoist Lu counterattacked, holding up a stone bead that was emitting plague energy in his palm. It was filled with a sinister aura. This was a top-grade treasure, and its quality was not inferior to Chen Xuan's purple gold jade bracelet.

He used the enormous immortal energy of the top-level Daozang realm to stimulate the power of this top-grade treasure to almost the extreme.

"Kang!"

Chen Xuan smashed the Thunder God Bow down like a huge purple sun, knocking the Plague Bead away and breaking Taoist Lu's arm as well.

Endless lightning and plague erupted, washing over and spreading.

"Ah!" Taoist Lu screamed and flew away. His bloated body was as if cut by thousands of knives. The flesh and blood on his face evaporated instantly, revealing his pale facial bones. His internal organs flowed out from his chest and abdomen, and blood flowed like a waterfall.

"Hah!" Chen Xuan groaned and retreated more than ten steps. He was affected by the explosive energy. His clothes turned to ashes in an instant, revealing the silver-white dragon scale soft armor underneath. The silver scales trembled, emitting a soft white light, but failed to withstand all the aftermath. Large amounts of blood seeped out of the scales, and many bones were shattered... If it were an ordinary Taoist cultivator of the first level, who was hit by the aftermath of peerless and top-grade treasures at close range, there would be no chance of survival and he would die instantly.

But Chen Xuan was completely different. The next moment, the surging energy of the Jinyu Paste flowed through his body, and he recovered from his miserable injuries almost instantly, his bones connected, and his flesh and blood reshaped.

"Huh! This feeling, I can continue fighting..."

Chen Xuan exhaled a breath of golden air towards the sky, and his condition reached its peak again!
The Jinyu Cream used to make the Mountain Ghost Jade Pendant is something that only great beings like the Mountain Ghost Goddess can wear on their bodies. It is so precious that even powerful beings like the Old Turtle would envy it.

At this moment, Chen Xuan took the Jinyu Paste to participate in the battle at the Daozang level. It was undoubtedly like using a cannon to kill a mosquito, which seemed bullying!

"What you swallowed is... Jinyu Paste! How much of this immortal treasure from the Mountain and Sea Age did you consume?"

Taoist Lu finally felt fear. He came from Xiaowen Mansion and was well-informed. He had previously witnessed Chen Xuan using the first level of Taoist Canon to continuously activate the Xiaolei God Bow, and he knew that he had taken some extraordinary spiritual object.

He had used the Thunder God Bow eight times before and after, and now he was almost instantly reborn into Nirvana...

This is equivalent to nine extra lives!
"Who the hell are you?" Taoist Lu felt a chill run down his spine, feeling an inexplicable pressure within him. He was far more powerful than his opponent, and could have won by outmaneuvering him, paying a price. But at that moment, he changed his mind. He only had one life, while his opponent seemed immortal, seemingly destined to fight him endlessly!
The problem is that spiritual objects of the Jinyu Paste level are very precious to the True Lords.

What merits and abilities did Chen Xuan possess to obtain this? Moreover, he obtained such a quantity of Jinyu Cream… You should know that even Jiang Qinghuang and the Dragon Girl, descendants of the True Lord’s bloodline, could not possess such a priceless treasure!

The more Taoist Lu thought about it, the more shocked he became. Could this person be the biological child of the Ghost Goddess of Southern Desolate Mountain? No, I've never heard of this mountain deity having any offspring! What kind of complicated relationship could this be?
"Envy? I got it in exchange for the Shangyang Immortal's relics!"

Chen Xuan launched another fierce attack, swinging the Xiaolei Shen Bow, which was like the heaviest weapon in the world. Accompanied by the thunder of a blue dragon, the bow tip whistled and hit Taoist Lu.

"puff!"

Taoist Lu tried his best to block the blows twice, and then his head exploded. Blood spurted out of his neck like a blood-colored fountain, rushing out more than two meters high. It gradually evaporated under the reflection of various lights, appearing extremely brilliant.

This is a cruel world of cultivation. Once a fight breaks out, you will either be killed or kill others. There is no mercy at all.

Chen Xuan had no psychological burden at all about killing these evil demons who were refining the elixir of destiny.

"what!"

Chen Xuan was suddenly shocked to find that the headless corpse did not fall down, and what was spewing out of its neck was no longer blood, but a swarm of mosquitoes, screaming and hissing, covering the sky and the sun. Wisps of plague air emerged like thick smoke, eerie and terrifying.

"Any backup plan? Daozang?"

Even in this situation, Taoist Lu wasn't dead yet? None of these high-level Taoist monks were simple. If such a person survived again, it would undoubtedly cause huge trouble for Chen Xuan.

"Bang!"

The Xiao Lei Shen Bow and the old turtle's broken hand fell down continuously, and rays of divine light splashed, directly smashing Taoist Lu's body, leaving nothing behind.

"Buzz!" Chen Xuan didn't stop there. Immortal Qi, like a river, poured into the divine bow. He pulled the bowstring in the air, and ripples of lightning spread out, enveloping all the pestilent mosquitoes in the sky and knocking them into ash. Everything that Taoist Lu had left in the world was wiped out. No matter how powerful the other party was, he would not be able to cause any trouble!
"Senior Brother Lu has fallen!" In the distance, a group of Taoist priests from the Small Plague Mansion screamed. Taoist priest Lu stepped forward and fought against Chen Xuan, who possessed a peerless treasure, alone, and then was directly beaten into air?
How long has it been? Just a few breaths!

"Too terrifying! Is this the combat power that a Daozang monk should possess? He can infinitely activate peerless treasures!" Some monks from aristocratic families in Chu were also frightened. They felt that Chen Xuanqiang was unreasonable and simply not in line with common sense.

"Look, the golden light on his body is beginning to dim. The spiritual object he took has exhausted its energy!" Some people with sharp eyes found that the golden light on Chen Xuan's body was quickly retracting and calming down, and their eyes suddenly lit up.

"Seize the Human Emperor Banner!"

While Taoist priests Chen Xuan and Lu were fighting, a large number of cultivators took the opportunity to attack Heng Gu, who was protected by Taoist priest Xiao Wenfu, and tried to snatch the Human Emperor Banner and run away.

Most of the Fire Virtue cultivators have violent and arrogant personalities. They believe that although they cannot defeat Chen Xuan and Xiao Wenfu who possess peerless treasures, they will not be defeated easily and have the ability to protect themselves.

The most important thing is that there are too many monks in this area!

"Even if they still have the strength to activate their ultimate treasures ten or twenty times, they still can't kill all of us!"

Moreover, once Chen Xuan and his companions are entangled by the top Taoist monks several times and waste time, it is still unknown into whom the Human Emperor Banner will fall into!
"It's not the turn of the Small Plague Mansion to act so arrogantly in Chu!" Jiang Qinghuang was the closest to him, and like a fire fairy, she rushed in first. With a dance of her phoenix sleeves, she directly knocked over a cultivator from the Small Plague Mansion who was at a level no lower than hers, and burned the plague energy with a raging fire.

"brush!"

Chen Xuan moved forward quickly, absorbing the aura of plague left by Taoist Lu along the way, and then picked up the top-grade treasure, the Plague-fixing Stone Bead, that had fallen to the ground.

"Unfortunately, the monk from the Small Plague Palace took advantage of the battle to retrieve the ancient bronze mirror in advance."

"Retreat! Take the Human Emperor Banner and go first!" A monk from the Small Plague Mansion said firmly. These monks were not incompetent and were extremely calm.

"Buzz!"

A monk from the Small Plague Mansion summoned an ancient bronze mirror, which was like a transparent lake hanging in the sky. They sent most of their men to cover their retreat, while a small group decided to forcibly lead Heng Gu away.

"Where do you want to take me? To make an elixir?"

Heng Gu roared loudly and was not willing to accept Xiao Wenfu's arrangement. If he let Xiao Wenfu, who had ulterior motives, take him away, his situation would not get any better, but would only get worse!

"A bunch of lunatics with bad intentions, get out!"

Heng Gu roared angrily and swept away the outstretched hand. At the same time, the Human Emperor Daozang was stimulated to the extreme. Behind him, a phantom of a little emperor in a black robe appeared. He held Heng Gu's collar with one hand and waved the Human Emperor Banner with the other hand. Gusts of cold wind swept directly towards the little monk from the Plague Palace beside him.

"You are the crazy one! You don't know how to appreciate it!"

A small monk from the Plague Palace was swept out by the Human Emperor Banner, his face pale and coughing up blood. If it weren't for a soul-protecting artifact on his body that illuminated in time, his soul and thoughts would have been wiped out by just this one sweep!
"Buzz!"

Heng Gu did not answer. The shadow of the little emperor, whose face was somewhat similar to his, tried his best to dance the Human Emperor Banner vigorously, trying to force Heng Gu, whose muscles and bones were broken, to fight his way out.

All of a sudden, the monks of the Small Plague Tribe were attacked from both sides and were completely thrown into disarray.

"brush!"

At this moment, Chen Xuan finally approached the center of the battlefield.

"Bang!"

He moved vigorously, using the Thunder God Bow to knock away a powerful Taoist priest from the Plague Mansion. Like swatting a mosquito, the huge and bloated Taoist priest flew out and exploded in a blood rain in mid-air.

"It's you again, your ghost won't go away. Go to hell, I'll fight you to death!"

Heng Gu's eyes were red as he shouted to the Human Emperor Daozang, "Don't worry about the others. Immediately throw the Human Emperor Banner towards Chen Xuan, who was dozens of meters away. All of his predicament was caused by Chen Xuan!"
"Buzz!"

The Human Emperor Banner flashed with black light, and patterns of twenty-eight stars flowed on the banner. The banner was like a long dark river, sweeping towards Chen Xuan. This was a full-strength attack from the shadow of the little emperor. Even a Taoist monk who possessed a soul-protecting artifact would have his artifact shattered and his soul extinguished under this sweep!
"Hey!"

Chen Xuan's eyes were calm, and he did not use any peerless treasure. The power of the Human Emperor Banner lies in the soul, and the Thunder God Bow is not of much use.

He took a deep breath and stretched out his palm.

next moment.

He grabbed the flag of the Human Emperor in mid-air.

"Buzz!"

In an instant, a white light of the soul burst out from Chen Xuan's body like a brilliant morning glow, soft and warm, as if a towering ancient tree stretched out and directly covered an area of 600 meters in radius!

After experiencing four destinies, his soul and spirit are now several times stronger than when he first encountered Heng Gu.

At this moment, Chen Xuan completely grasped the Human Emperor Banner, and with his powerful soul that far surpassed all other cultivators in the mortal world, he forcibly resisted the power of the Human Emperor Banner.

He won't let go again.
