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

Chapter 159 Dinglu vs. Three
"rumble……"

Chen Xuan pushed the Zixiao Dragon Transformation Technique to its extreme. The eight kinds of immortal energy evolved into various lightning and thunder, which hit the purple immortal bamboo until it was charred black. Countless tiny cracks appeared on its surface, and mottled blood oozed out.

"Little thing, I'm going to get angry——"

Taoist Zizhu was burning with rage, with blood-colored saliva dripping from his mouth. His purple bamboo Taoist robe was in tatters. Chen Xuan's strength was beyond his expectations, causing him to lose his indifferent demeanor and become extremely embarrassed for a while.

"Wow!"

His whole body was emitting a brighter blue-purple divine light. Thousands of purple jade bamboo shadows were growing and swaying under his feet. They had the power to hold up mountains and together they held up the dragon's fang.

"Hah!" Taoist Zizhu groaned, and straightened his bent body little by little. Even though he was suppressed by the forbidden formation, the power he exerted with all his strength still gradually surpassed the black dragon.

"puff!"

Seeing this, Chen Xuan decisively spat out Taoist Zizhu, and the eight-colored immortal energy turned into a blazing light column, which was exhaled like a dragon's breath, knocking Taoist Zizhu to the ground, creating a large pit with a radius of dozens of meters, and smoke and dust rising up.

The Zixiao Dragon Transformation Technique can transform into a body that is comparable to that of a Dinglu, but after all, it is only the power of a Dinglu in its normal state, which is a little bit worse than the full-strength state of a true Dinglu realm master.

"Bang bang!"

The black dragon Chen Xuan did not stop attacking, swinging the little white dragon wrapped around his dragon claws, like a hundred-meter-long snow-white chain, a peerless treasure, smashing at the Taoist Zizhu in the big pit. Every time it smashed down, it created a huge gully more than ten meters deep on the ground.

"Ang!" The dragon's roar seemed to be asking, old man, how angry are you?

Taoist Zizhu was knocked dizzy and covered in blood, buried in the dust. The purple Taoist robe on his body, which was at the level of a top-grade treasure, dimmed with a puff and was directly destroyed.

"Ah! A moment of bravado, what a thing!"

Taoist Zizhu was extremely furious. He struggled to get up from the ground and headed towards Xiaobailong like a retrograde purple meteor.

He swung his fists surrounded by purple light and attacked several times in succession. Although he had more injuries on his body, in his rage, he also beat the little white dragon so badly that his nose and face were swollen and his dragon horns were covered with cracks, which was a horrible sight.

"Heh!" Black Dragon Chen Xuan sneered upon hearing this. His body was not injured at all and he was not afraid of Taoist Zizhu whose injuries were getting worse. He continued to smash the screaming Little White Dragon and swept across the wilderness.

He doesn't suffer any loss at all from this style of fighting where he trades injuries for injuries!

"Wow!"

At this moment, the red sky surged in the sky, and the fire clouds continued, quickly outlining the outline of a finger.

"Chixiao Xuanzhi Technique!" In the distance, Jiang Qinghuang's eyes turned from black to red, and her jade fingers, with a red glow, gently pointed forward as if picking up a flower.

"boom!"

Above the sky, the outline of a jade finger hundreds of feet long pierced through the void, with bright firelight at the fingertips and countless red runes flowing out, pressing open the sky and locking onto the furious Taoist Zizhu.

This is an ancient secret technique that can kill with one blow. Jiang Qinghuang has been accumulating and operating it for a long time, and the power that suddenly erupts at this moment is earth-shattering!
"There is another little monster!" Taoist Zizhu felt his scalp tingling.

He was shocked. The State of Chu had really spent a lot of money to deal with him this time!
These young Daozang, who can be called monsters, will surely become powerful within ten years. After a hundred years, there is even a glimmer of hope for them to escape from the mortal world.

Even if Taoist Zizhu died on the spot today, as long as any one of them died, it would be a great loss for the State of Chu!
"boom!"

Taoist Zizhu had no way to dodge and could only take it head-on, and was directly knocked down from the sky by the jade finger.

A huge hole nearly a hundred meters deep suddenly appeared on the ground. The soil and hard rocks at the edge instantly turned into magma and sharp red crystal clusters. The bottom of the hole directly melted into a pool of flaming spring, gurgling and surging.

"Puff!" Taoist Zizhu coughed up blood and lay in the high-temperature magma.

His body was as strong as a peerless treasure, but with one finger from Jiang Qinghuang, a bloody hole the size of a bowl appeared on his waist and abdomen, which was so bright that the front and back could see the light, and the blood kept flowing out.

"Jiang Qinghuang is even stronger than he was a year ago. This secret technique has probably reached a great level and has become even more advanced."

The black dragon Chen Xuan admired in his heart, his dragon body swimming in the sky filled with sunset glow, staring at the huge crimson hole with some surprise.

Jiang Qinghuang is the most outstanding genius in Chu. If Chen Xuan does not rely on external objects such as the Human Emperor Banner and the soul body, and only uses secret techniques and the Taoist scriptures, he may not be sure of winning when fighting with Jiang Qinghuang.

Once locked onto this door, there is no way to dodge this finger-type secret technique, it is terrifyingly powerful... If Chen Xuan faces it, perhaps he can only choose to use the Human Emperor Banner, his destiny weapon, to withstand the killing move.

"Your Highness has taken action!"

Farther away, on a street, the last two top Taoist monks of the Demon Suppression Bureau, one carried a huge crossbow on his shoulder, while the other stepped on the former's back and suddenly released the full-moon-shaped bowstring as thick as a finger.

"boom!"

A giant silver-white arrow more than two meters long, engraved with countless dazzling runes, was like a phoenix with its wings spread, roaring and tearing through the sky, and fell into the city lord's mansion!
The dragon-slaying crossbow!

The Chu State used this world-famous and unique treasure specially to hunt the Dinglu Dragon of the Yu State!

"Wow!"

After a shocking arrow was shot out, the two top Taoist monks fell to the ground like a puddle of mud, with blood spurting out of their bodies and their immortal energy drained out. Even if an ordinary mortal came at this moment, it would be possible to kill these two Taoist monks who were still breathing.

"Bang!"

Taoist Zizhu had just gathered his strength and flew out of the underground cave when he was immediately shot down by a huge arrow hurled by a whistling phoenix and fell into the deep cave again.

"rumble!"

The earth trembled and cracked, as if a volcano was erupting.

The entire town shook, countless houses collapsed, and endless flames rose from the nearly 100-meter-deep hole, like purgatory.

"The Demon Suppression Bureau's super powerful attacks, wave after wave, are very well prepared." Chen Xuan thought to himself when he saw this.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a green sword-like beam of light with a diameter of hundreds of meters gushed out from the hole in the earth, piercing through the sky and the earth. In the dazzling beam of light, a crazy purple figure emerged.

"Everyone, do you have any killer moves? Come again!"

Taoist Zizhu's inquiring voice came from the sword light column. His bun was loose, and his long purple hair was dancing wildly, like an awakened god from the underworld, with a sinister aura.

One of his arms was empty from the elbow down, and disappeared under the attack of the Dragon-Slaying Crossbow.

"He won't die, just a minor injury?" Chen Xuan's eyes were solemn, and white light surged on his dragon claws.

Taoist Zizhu's vitality is extremely tenacious. Any top-level Taoist would be reduced to ashes immediately if touched by these attacks, but Taoist Zizhu relied on his strong body to withstand them.

"No more juniors? Then, it's my turn next."

Taoist Zizhu laughed and spoke, his body covered in wounds, but his eyes were purple-gold and piercing, and a green immortal sword, at the level of a peerless treasure, was suspended upright in front of him.

Immediately, Taoist Zizhu grabbed the immortal sword with his only remaining hand and said in a deep voice:
"You youngsters, it's time to see what the true ancient secret arts are!"

"It's not good." Chen Xuan's heart trembled suddenly, and he felt that the air between heaven and earth solidified.

Taoist Zizhu chose to withstand the arrow from the Dragon-Slaying Crossbow at the cost of losing an arm. During this brief interval, he activated an ancient secret sword technique.

An ancient secret technique of the Dinglu powerful level!
"bring it on!"

Taoist Zizhu had a cold expression on his face. He held the immortal sword with a surge of sword power in one arm. In an instant, he slashed out three powerful green sword auras in three different directions.

The first sword energy slashed towards the giant dragon-slaying crossbow.

"Zheng!"

The overwhelming green sword energy rolled across the earth, creating a vacuum zone thousands of meters wide, breaking through all obstacles along the way. It was like an iceberg being pushed out, clearing the sky and the earth.

In an instant, the black Falling Moon City Wall, more than twenty or thirty miles away, split into two halves.

Then, further away, a mountain collapsed with a loud bang, sending smoke and dust rising into the sky.

The second sword energy, without a second's delay, slashed towards Jiang Qinghuang.

"Secret weapon, it's up to you!"

Jiang Qinghuang gave the last order, her face turning slightly pale. In the next breath, her phoenix body, along with the pavilion where she was hiding, collapsed into ashes and disappeared in the sword energy.

"Wow!"

There was only a red gull feather left on the spot, slowly falling and losing its luster.

Dozens of miles away, the Falling Moon City Wall on the other side collapsed with a loud bang. The rune array that had been repaired for the most part on the wall lit up for a moment, then dimmed and shattered.

It's like a sword that splits the world apart, and nothing can stop it!

"Zheng!"

The third sword energy, like lightning, slashed towards the black dragon swimming in the air.

The majestic sword energy was like a long river of blue sword energy formed by the convergence of tens of millions of immortal swords, swallowing up the sky and the earth.

"Come!"

Chen Xuan's eyes were solemn as he stretched out a little white dragon that was as straight as a sword. A white sword light lit up, like a star shining in the night sky, rapidly growing bigger and brighter.

Zhenwu Seven-Section Sword·Secret!
While Taoist Zizhu was suffering a series of attacks, Chen Xuan was also busy practicing the second ancient secret technique.

Their bodies are at the same level of Dinglu, and once they start fighting, they either have no chance to use the ancient secret techniques, or they all use them at the same time!
"Zheng!"

At the fingertips of Black Dragon Chen Xuan, a thousand-meter-long snow-white sword light, like a white rainbow, cut the long river of green sword energy in half. The green sword energy split to both sides and poured towards the rear.

The heaven and earth shook, and the surging ripples of shock spread dozens of miles away like a tsunami.

"boom!"

Chen Xuan fell from the sky, and his black dragon form was beaten back to his original form, revealing a tiny human form.

He was barely able to dodge the flying sword energy, and his body was riddled with wounds. His eyes were fierce, his throat rolled, and he slowly swallowed back the fishy smell.

"Wow!"

Taoist Zizhu also fell from the sky. His face twitched slightly due to the severe pain. He lowered his head slightly, his eyes full of confusion. A sword scar deep enough to see the bone appeared on his waist and abdomen.

A jade pendant on his waist that protected his soul finally broke into pieces amidst the waves of the successive battles.

"Why doesn't the final sword beam go towards my head?"

Taoist Zizhu was deeply puzzled. If Chen Xuan's higher-level ancient sword technique, with its snow-white sword marks, pierced through the ocean of green sword energy and hit his head, it would cause irreparable serious damage.

But the sword light finally chose to fall on the waist and abdomen.

In fact, for a Dinglu master like him who practices Qingqi, these non-fatal injuries will be completely healed in just a few hours.

But if he suffered more serious injuries, such as those to the head or heart, he would need several days, or even ten days or half a month to heal. In this case, he would most likely have to withdraw from the Luoyue City battlefield.

Isn’t this the purpose of this group of monks from the Demon Suppression Bureau coming here?

Why did this young monk fail in his last killing move?
"Hey, Old Bamboo, I'm afraid you'll run away..."

Chen Xuan grinned, revealing a mouthful of blood-stained white teeth.

He didn't want Taoist Zizhu to be seriously injured, he wanted Taoist Zizhu to die here.

"Escape? Why should I escape?"

Taoist Zizhu sneered in response, and his broken body with disordered breathing slowly floated in the air.

He didn't understand why the young man in front of him had exhausted all his spiritual energy and couldn't even continue the Purple Sky Dragon Transformation Technique. He was already at the end of his strength.

He fought many battles and used ancient secret techniques, but to be honest, the amount of immortal energy in his body, which was as vast as the rivers and lakes... was not even half used up.

"Next, within three breaths, I will smash your body into pieces." Taoist Zizhu said loudly.

"Does it take another three breaths? Let's see who is faster." Chen Xuan murmured in his heart.

Right now.

"Your Highness, secret weapon, at your command."

In the corner of the dilapidated City Lord's Mansion, Xiao Huo panted, pushed away the collapsed pillar in front of him, shook the flaming wings behind him, and rose into the air.

He turned the black ring on his finger and said firmly:
"Master, please take possession of your disciple!"

An old voice, faintly filled with excitement, sounded:

"Okay, Miaozi——"

At this moment, Chen Xuan and Taoist Zizhu turned their heads and looked in the same direction.

Blue lotus earth fire.

White bone spirit cold fire.

"lotus--"

Xiao Hu's eyes flashed with golden light, and Dao Zang's body emanated a powerful aura that was no weaker than that of a cauldron. While he was flying, he used his hands to forcibly fuse two mystical flames of different attributes together.

The two moves came from the same secret, the ancient secret technique of fire magic, and in an instant, they were rubbed into the palm of the hand.

"This hidden master..."

Chen Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly. He saw a figure like a red meteor streaking across the sky, wrapped in the shadow of a...broken old man.

Spirit, soul and body.

Although it was also in tatters, it was obviously of a higher level than the second-generation soul body encountered in the Southern Wilderness Ghost Market, and had a completely different aura.

"...This!" Taoist Zizhu was stunned for a moment, but he had just used the ancient secret technique and was unable to dodge, allowing the power of the cauldron to explode. Xiao Huo seized the opportunity, restrained his body in an instant, and brought him higher into the sky.

The blue and white flames, like a bright and pure lotus, quietly bloomed from the bodies of the two.

"Buzz!"

The huge fireball covering an area of nearly ten miles was like the thirty-six lotus flowers under the seat of an ancient Buddha or Bodhisattva, blooming in a poignant and ethereal manner. Billions of flames hung down and spread towards the sky farther away, carrying a deadly burning force.

"rumble!"

The sky above the entire Luoyue City was shrouded in a lotus of anger.

Yan Emperor Ming.

Xiao Huo is the uncrowned king of the fire magic lineage. He can even integrate and strengthen the fire magic secrets created by the ancient immortals and sages at the Taoist level, making it ten times more powerful.

"This is not an ordinary person, a true genius..."

Chen Xuan was dumbfounded, staring at the huge fire lotus that filled the entire sky. He was really shocked. What an amazing talent!

He had long sensed the whereabouts of this hidden master from the Demon Suppression Bureau, but his sudden attack at this moment was so powerful that he actually forcibly merged two ancient secret techniques, which was something he could not do.

Even with a high level of comprehension like him, for now, he could only use the "Zhenwu Seven-Section Sword" while maintaining the "Purple Sky Dragon Transformation Technique", rather than completely integrating the two secret techniques into one.

Moreover, where did a Taoist monk get the energy to support such a massive mystical attack?

Even a monstrous figure like Chen Xuan, who has cultivated eight kinds of immortal qi and whose internal energy is several times higher than that of ordinary Taoist monks, needs to swallow the Jinyu Paste several times before he can do it... It must be the help of the old man's soul and body!
"Heroes and heroes are so numerous in the world, like the fish in the river."

Chen Xuan was full of emotion. In front of him was Ye Kui, the supreme god whose martial arts skills were not inferior to his, and behind him was Xiao Hou, a foreign cultivator whose talent and ability were slightly superior to his.

This is the second contemporary figure whom he sincerely admires.

"No wonder Jiang Qinghuang and the other twelve dared to force their way into the city and kill a Dinglu master. Do they really have the ability to do that?"

Even if he could not completely succeed in killing Taoist Zizhu, he would inevitably suffer irreparable damage from this level of attack and would have to withdraw from the battlefield of Luoyue City with regret!
"Wow!"

The raging flames surged, covering the sky and the sun, and then gradually subsided.

A young figure shrouded in white mist slowly floated down like a soft feather.

Emperor Yan Ming issued an order to the world to master the art of fire. Xiao Huo was at the center of this level of secret art, but he was able to maintain a complete Taoist physical body. It was astonishing!

"Wow!" On the other side, a figure with a charred body, flesh and blood melted away, and only a skeleton left, fell from the sky like a rag.

Taoist Zizhu seemed to be trying his best to activate some kind of defensive ancient secret technique in the flaming lotus, but he was still unable to resist the fire damage like that of the Yan Emperor.

"Zheng!"

A dull and lifeless immortal sword fell to the ground, sinking to the hilt.

"Crack!" The body of Taoist Zizhu trembled twice, and he slowly sat up from the ground. He no longer looked like a monster, his hair was burnt off, and various holes appeared in his body. Only some black charcoal stuck on his bones, emitting hot smoke.

Beneath him, countless herbs and spiritual trees grew wildly in various strange forms, like a forest. His body was leaking air everywhere and could no longer contain the remaining immortal energy in his body.

"cough!"

Xiao Hou knelt on one knee and coughed a few times. Golden-red flames spurted out of his mouth and nose, like a darting snake. His face turned pale and he murmured:
"Master, it's a little off..."

A cold, rejecting voice rang out from the ring: "That's enough! This Daozang body of yours can no longer contain the energy my master has brought upon it. It's about to collapse!"

"Crack!"

Taoist Zizhu turned his black skull head, his eye sockets were dark and his eyes disappeared.

"Each of them is a brilliant and influential figure of their generation..."

He first looked at Xiao Huo who was kneeling on one knee.

He looked at the world in the distance again. In the dark red halo of the sun, a graceful figure of a woman with full blood walked out. The tips of her jade fingers glowed red. She used the ancient secret technique that consumed a lot of energy. She successfully locked onto him from a distance again, ready to attack.

Taoist Zizhu sighed, and finally looked towards Chen Xuan, whose body was covered with wounds not far away:

"Twenty years from now, the land of Yaoguangzhou will be under the control of your Chu State."

"The Ginseng Clan, descendants of the True Lord, say they want to attack the State of Chu, while the Lingzhi Clan, part of the ancient royal family, say they won't... Consequently, many plant and tree spirits are working without putting in any effort, displaying shortsightedness. But if they don't fight for the next twenty years, there's no need to fight for the next two or three hundred years."

"If I don't fight you now, your human race will stand up completely!" He roared, with a strong unwillingness in his tone.

Chen Xuan listened to Taoist Zizhu's sigh, his weak eyes gazing at him from head to toe, muttering to himself:

"What a pity! All the flesh and blood of a Dinglu Realm cultivator has been burned, leaving only a skeleton. Is he going to make bone soup? Or craft a peerless treasure? These Chu cultivators, who have the support of the Jiang family and are so wealthy, don't they know how difficult it is for cultivators in the mountains and marshes to survive."

However, Chen Xuan's body will be preserved intact in this battle.

Moreover, fighting alone would be a protracted war that would consume the Jinyu Paste of the Shanhai Era.

Therefore, the monks from the State of Chu took the opportunity to take action. Although Chen Xuan got less, he did not take anything out of his pocket. Overall, he did not suffer a loss.

After all, a life-saving magic item like Jinyu Paste is countless times more precious than Dinglu's precious medicine, and the more it is used, the less it will be used in the world.

Moreover, when the day comes that Chen Xuan actually finishes eating the Mountain Ghost Jade Plate, no one knows what will happen?
"The Mountain Ghost Goddess, who is at the level of a True Lord, left me the most precious thing. It's better for me not to squander it." Chen Xuan thought to himself.

Taoist Zizhu stared at Chen Xuan, who looked anxious and worried, and was stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled bitterly and said:

"Young man, even though your immortal energy is exhausted, it seems you still have a backup plan. I am really afraid of you young people today."

He staggered to his feet, looked up at the forbidden magic circle in the sky, and sighed:

"Every generation has its own talents, and the old are replaced by the new! I must leave first. See you on the battlefield in half a year, no... a year!"

This time, he was seriously injured and his foundation was damaged. Unless he used Tao Hongchen's spiritual objects above the Dinglu level, he would have to recuperate for at least a year and a half before he could recover his combat power!

"Old Bamboo, I guessed you would run away. You are all more afraid of death than the other!"

Chen Xuan stared at Taoist Zizhu. Fortunately, he did not place any hope on the cultivators from the Chu State. His attacks from beginning to end were all aimed at one goal... to destroy Taoist Zizhu's soul-protecting jade pendant!

The goal of the Chu cultivators is to strategically resolve the predicament of Luoyue City.

Chen Xuan also wanted the dilemma in Luoyue City to end quickly, open the market between the two worlds as soon as possible, exchange the necessary items, and meet the Lord of the Two Worlds, the Destined One.

But at the same time, he wanted to gain a lot of cultivation resources from this matter that he had actively provoked!

Chen Xuan was practicing the five Heavenly Fate Sutras at the same time, and would have to practice the more expensive "Secrets of the Five Treasures of the Immortal Body" in the future. If he let go of Taoist Zizhu, with whom he had a life-and-death feud, and let go of such a big piece of fat meat that was right in his mouth, how could he make progress!
"Oh? Young man, I don't believe you can stop me in your weakened state."

Taoist Zizhu shook his head and laughed. Although he was barely alive, he still possessed the domineering aura of a cauldron realm:

"I dare to face you guys alone, so I must have a foolproof way to escape!"

He is not a arrogant person. Few people like him can live safely to the day of becoming a cauldron.

He raised his hand slightly, and the peerless immortal sword in the distance turned into a green light and immediately came to his call!

"brush!"

Taoist Zizhu tapped the cold and shiny sword body of the peerless immortal sword lightly, and a pill immediately fell from it and he put it in his mouth. This peerless immortal sword was actually a space treasure!
"The Mude Dan Ding Dao is the ancestor of the alchemy lineage! Forgive me for not accompanying you!"

Taoist Zizhu sneered, and his figure instantly faded into a ball of air and disappeared, along with all traces of breath in the field.

The pill he made was similar to the one Xiao Hu had refined before, but the effect was more thorough, and it was also a cauldron-level pill. Its rarity was no less than that of a peerless treasure.

"Old Bamboo, be cautious."

Chen Xuan thought to himself and immediately activated his soul and body. The light of his soul, which could see everything, spread out like ripples on the water.

But what shocked him was that his soul and body were almost ineffective. He could only vaguely see a purple figure about ten feet tall in the air, holding a magic sword and floating towards the outside of the City Lord's Mansion.

The previous moment, Taoist Zizhu was still in the same place.

But in the next moment, it flew away dozens of meters, floating erratically and unable to be locked.

"Master Zizhu, this newly promoted Dinglu is really capable." Chen Xuan was shocked. If it weren't for his outrageously strong soul and body, he would have been unable to escape safely today.

It is said that no one can kill a cauldron in the world without a will to die. This is indeed true... After all, even someone as powerful as the Lord of Nanhuang Mountain cannot completely eliminate Cui Tianhe, the escaped leader of the Qinghe Cui family, without paying a huge price.

"Even if the dormant monster [Tao Hongchen] comes in person, it can only see some traces!" Taoist Zizhu said with confidence.

He found that the situation was out of control and that Chen Xuan seemed to have a trick up his sleeve, so he swallowed the pill and immediately fled.

Even though he still had some strength to fight again and could replace some of the people present, he still remained steady and had no intention of launching an attack.

"Escaped, escaped..." In the distance, Xiao Hu stared at the empty space ahead and sighed helplessly.

"Buzz!" The black mysterious ring between the fingers trembled slightly, and then fell silent, as if it had not detected the whereabouts of Taoist Zizhu.

"Stop here." Further away, Jiang Qinghuang let out a light breath and stopped the ancient secret technique running at his fingertips.

Although Taoist Zizhu was not killed, the general strategic goal was half-successfully achieved. Taoist Zizhu was unable to participate in the battles at the cauldron level for most of half a year. By then, when he comes to Chu again, it will be a completely different world.

Thinking like this.

Jiang Qinghuang's eyes turned slightly, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and she cast a suspicious and bright gaze at the frail yet familiar figure of the young man in the City Lord's Mansion: "Xue Chen?"

"A bunch of youngsters! I'm one step ahead of you."

Taoist Zizhu muttered to himself, and like a speck of dust, he floated outside the City Lord's Mansion, ready to hide himself. Then, he silently waited for the sealing magic circle above the sky, whose divine light had dimmed by half, to completely disappear.

He raised his foot and was about to approach the door.

Ahead, a huge shadow slowly rose like a rising mountain.

"What is it? A banner?"

Taoist Zizhu looked up in confusion, and in his field of vision, he saw a majestic figure in an imperial robe, over a hundred feet tall. He leaned over and stuck most of his body in through the dozens of meters high wall of the City Lord's Mansion, and stared at his direction with a pair of gray-gold eyes.

Perhaps, he did not see the exact location of Taoist Zizhu, but the error was only within 10 to 20 meters!

The Taoist Canon of the Human Emperor!

The fifth heaven, a hundred-foot body that can control the laws of heaven and earth!
"Tianming Daozang?" Taoist Zizhu was shocked when he saw this.

"I was wondering where this hero had emerged from. His talent is terrifyingly strong, I'm amazed. The Human Emperor Banner, it's him, exactly the same!" In the distance, Xiao Hou was stunned and muttered to himself. After not seeing him for more than half a year, the Human Emperor Daozang has been fully developed.

"Old Bamboo, my Lord, are you allowed to escape?"

Human Emperor Daozang stood tall, his voice scornful as he spoke. He waved the hundreds-meter-tall Human Emperor Banner. The twenty-eight constellations on the banner shone with divine light, accompanied by the roars of the four sacred beasts. The banner transformed into a dark river a kilometer long, engulfing a large area at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Woo!" Black smoke billowed into the sky, and thousands of hoarse and roaring ghosts rushed out like a flood, submerging the earth.

"Human Emperor Banner!"

Taoist Zizhu's expression changed drastically, and he finally recognized this legendary weapon that was destined to be obtained by Nanhuang, the Soul-Devouring Weapon!

Because this destiny weapon fell into the Southern Wilderness, now, the soul-protecting artifact has become almost a must-have self-defense item for qualified cultivators in Yaoguang State when going out!

"Wow!"

Taoist Zizhu's body was directly caught by the Human Emperor Banner and was forced to reveal his whereabouts in the air.

"You are not from the Demon Suppression Bureau!" At this moment, Taoist Zizhu finally understood why Chen Xuan had to destroy the soul-protecting jade pendant on his body. He was waiting for this moment!
Chen Xuan was different from everyone else present. He decided to take action with the intention of killing!
"Hey!"

But Taoist Zizhu is worthy of being a true cauldron master. Although his soul is weak, it is still far superior to Daozang. A white light ball the size of a water tank lights up in his body, and he tries his best to resist the waves of impact from the Human Emperor Banner.

"Even if it's the Human Emperor Banner, it's not enough to stop a cauldron that wants to escape!"

Taoist Zizhu roared loudly, stepped on the peerless immortal sword, and like a streaking meteor, tried to pass through the overwhelming black smoke and ghostly shadows and escape from the rolling flag of the Human Emperor.

"Crack!"

A corner of the Human Emperor's banner was like a big hand, clinging to Taoist Zizhu and tearing off a large piece of soul light the size of a washbasin.

"Chila!"

Countless ghosts were like ulcers attached to the bones, scrambling to climb on Taoist Zizhu, biting him hard and grabbing palm-sized pieces of white soul.

"I have escaped!!"

Taoist Zizhu laughed loudly towards the sky. In the end, at the cost of losing half of his soul light ball, he left the coverage of the Human Emperor Banner.

"Is this person the legendary Saint of the Southern Wasteland? The Southern Wasteland is secretly helping the Chu State? Bad news!"

Taoist Zizhu was filled with anxiety. He had to flee this place and announce this news to all the armies! At this moment, with the speed of his sword, he had already fled to a safe distance. No Taoist monk of the Daozang level could catch up with him.

"Oh? Old Bamboo, did you really escape?"

A plain question came down.

"You..." Taoist Zizhu was startled and looked around. He didn't see anything, but he could clearly hear the young man's ghostly voice in his ears.

"Buzz!"

Behind Taoist Zizhu, there was a huge white figure with white mist swirling beneath it. Its eyes were filled with a faint golden light, and the overflowing golden light floated in the air like tassels.

He looked down at Taoist Zizhu, and as he finished speaking, his two hands had already grasped the residual soul ball of Taoist Zizhu!

"Ah! Spiritual body!"

Taoist Zizhu let out a shrill scream, endless pain filled his mind, and all kinds of horrible thoughts flashed through his heart.

Soul body, this must be Tao Hongchen's soul body! This young cultivator, at the Daozang level, has cultivated a soul body! No, this is impossible, he is not a young man, he is a physical body occupied by a real old monster!
"Wow!"

Taoist Zizhu was terrified and tried his best to control his sword to continue running forward, trying to get away from this place.

"clang!"

Chen Xuan was like a celestial being who had forgotten his worries. Behind his soul and body, nine golden chains stretched out from all directions like dragons and nailed into the body of Taoist Zizhu.

Eight Gates Soul Locking Technique!
"Ah! The Secret Art of the Soul!"

Taoist Zizhu screamed, and this time he seemed to feel a tangible golden light falling on the soul within his bones.

"No!" he whined, feeling that there was no way out.

So, he just flew out dozens of meters with all his might, then immediately changed direction, with a ferocious look on his face, like an evil ghost, and headed straight for the center of the City Lord's Mansion, thousands of meters away, where Chen Xuan, who was smiling, was running towards him.

“The fish is dead and the net is broken!”

Taoist Zizhu exploded the remaining immortal energy in his body, like a blue meteorite dragging a huge flame, determined to destroy the physical temple that housed Chen Xuan's soul and body.

"rumble!"

Taoist Zizhu did not have this opportunity.

Chen Xuan first tried every possible means to break the jade pendant treasure that protected his soul, and then the Human Emperor Banner accurately launched a fatal attack. Immediately afterwards, the soul body used ancient secret techniques to carry out the final harvest. Most importantly, Taoist Zizhu made the wrong decision to escape!
“No way to escape!”

Chen Xuan has done so much. If Taoist Zizhu can still replace his physical body, then he won't have to go through so much hardship to cultivate the Heavenly Fate Sutra, various immortal qi, soul body and other abilities in the future.

Just focus on practicing one Qi and one true scripture, and if you see a cultivator of a higher level in the future, just run away!

"thump!"

Taoist Zizhu's face was dull and lifeless. His body flew straight forward for three or four hundred meters, and then fell weakly, drawing a parabola and falling to the ground. There was silence.

A newly promoted great master of Dinglu died just like that!

"it's over!"

Chen Xuan slowly exhaled, his soul body hovered in the air, and slowly floated down. With his hands, he tore the white soul light ball into several pieces and threw it at the Human Emperor Banner that followed.

"Crack!" The Human Emperor Banner made a joyful chewing sound, and some spiritual crystals of pure quality were quickly generated.

"laugh!"

On the ground, Chen Xuan called back his soul and body, then staggered forward, took dozens of steps, and pulled out a peerless immortal sword that was stuck diagonally into the ground. It was dim but intact.

"Zheng!"

He lightly flicked the cold green sword, and the crisp sound of the sword dripped down like a mountain spring.

Immediately, Chen Xuan pointed the tip of his sword at the remains of Taoist Zizhu on the ground. He walked towards the distance and gradually approached Jiang Qinghuang, who was walking into the City Lord's Mansion. He asked with a smile:

"Your Highness, I shot it down, and it's okay for me to take it alone, right?"

Although this group of monks from the Demon Suppression Division helped a little.

However, it also did more harm than good.

Especially that foreign cultivator Xiao Hu, who had a good cauldron body, but he had it burned to ashes!
However, let's count Xiao Hou as having done some hard work! Otherwise, the half-crippled Zizhu Taoist might not have decided to escape in the end, which might have posed some unnecessary threat to Chen Xuan's physical body.

Moreover, Chen Xuan has helped the Demon Suppression Bureau a lot this time. If the other party still wants to share the things, it is unreasonable... Jiang Qinghuang should not only not share the things with him, but also reward him!
It is said that if you kill one Liu Qi, you will get a top-grade treasure!
This time, Chen Xuan directly killed the escaping Taoist Zizhu from the Dinglu Realm...

According to the rules of the Demon Suppression Bureau, Jiang Qinghuang should use the complete version of the "Phoenix Sutra" or a peerless treasure to reward Chen Xuan, a passionate hero who stands up for justice!

"you……"

Jiang Qinghuang's phoenix hairpin swayed slightly, and her beautiful face was shining with crystal luster. She took slight steps and looked at Chen Xuan who was talking seriously. She slightly opened her rose-red lips, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

Finally, I came up with eight words:
"Your name is Xue Chen? Who is Chen Xuan?"

"Isn't it okay? Mind your own business."

Chen Xuan frowned and glanced at her. Yaoguangzhou is really a small world, and you meet acquaintances everywhere.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent."

Chen Xuan was not polite at all and directly put the remains of Taoist Zizhu into the space artifact.

This was a cauldron-level body, the most precious flesh and blood medicine in the world. Even a small amount of it would be enough for him to reach the pinnacle of the Yellow Millet Daoist Canon! He might even have gathered more than half of the resources needed to cultivate the third chapter of the Yellow Millet Sutra!
"There are also treasures similar to elixirs inside." At the same time, Chen Xuan shook the peerless immortal sword in his hand, and it seemed as if he could hear a shaking sound. The immortal sword also contained many of Taoist Zizhu's treasures.

He took this risk without paying any price, but gained a lot. He really made a fortune!
