Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 349 Cramps
Above the dark clouds.

A surge of purple energy erupted from Xu Xuan's neck. [Lie Que], having been empowered by the Reverse Scale, became even more radiant. He gripped his magic sword and did not summon any other spiritual weapons, coldly staring at Dongfang Che in front of him.

Bi You, standing to the side, suddenly paused, seemingly receiving an order. She didn't offer further advice, but simply took a few steps closer and said softly:

"Brother, be careful. Dongfang Che cultivates the Vast Water, which is the first-class lineage of our dragon race. He has now mastered two body techniques, namely [Hidden End] and [Great Ruins].

"He has been cultivating in the Great Ruins Sea Realm for many years, and his combat strength is comparable to that of a mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator. He also possesses several powerful spiritual artifacts, so we must be careful."

Xu Xuan thanked Bi You for the reminder, and the two walked a little closer. Dongfang Che, who was hiding his anger, spoke up at this moment:
"Youqing, whose side are you really on?"

Bi You ignored him and left. Xu Xuan, however, had a sudden realization and his mind raced.

'Dong Han is indeed domineering and unscrupulous; he even wants to seize the bloodline of another race.'

Taking advantage of Donghan's power, Dongfang Che wanted to marry Biyou and bring back the Sea Realm. This move could be described as making peace between the two seas, or it could be described as severing the roots of Mingze.

Within the grotto-heaven, no dragon maiden from Donghan was seen marrying. Guangze Dragon King, a noble lord of Tianhui and at the peak of the Purple Mansion realm, did not have a dragon as his wife.

The laws of demons all depend on bloodline. Donghan is powerful, and if this continues, the bloodline of the dragon maidens who marry into the sea realm may become even purer. In that case, who will rule the Dragon Court?
He could see clearly at this moment that the relationship between the Donghan and Nanming lineages was probably not very good. Otherwise, why would Guangze be so secretive as to rely on Donghua's power to recreate Renshui?
There are two Dragon Lords in the East Sea. If they were willing to lend a hand, which sect in the world could stand against them?

With supernatural powers, surrounded by azure waves, Dongfang Che manifested as a white dragon, and with a flick of his hand, he summoned two short silver iron halberds, their power astonishing.

“Mingdu? You weren’t originally a pureblood. It was Lord Guangze who elevated you with the [Mysterious Yin Mingxing Blood], which shows he values ​​you.”

Xu Xuan held his sword, pointing it at Dongfang Che. He activated his supernatural powers, and the [Purple Heavenly Thunder] surged in, enhancing his magic power. A beam of heavenly thunder light appeared on the spirit sword, locking onto the opponent's physical body.

"Zixiao Tianting, she took it for you!" Dongfang Che's tone was furious, his dragon might violent. "This was the one I used to welcome her into the Sea Realm, with the Nine Heavens as her thunder chariot, and it has ended up in your hands."

He let out a long cry, brandished his halberd, and charged forward. His divine power over the vast waters transformed, revealing a scene of great ruins where he stood. Waters surged in, creating a dark and gloomy atmosphere—this was the [End of the Great Ruins].

Xu Xuan did not move an inch. Thunder surged around him and covered down. The sword [Lieque] pointed forward, purple lightning surged, extremely yang and strong, and crashed into that dark and desolate ruin.

Swords and halberds clashed, parting the dark clouds that stretched for dozens of miles and cutting off the celestial flow. Many dragons and snakes, witnessing the battle between the two above, hurriedly moved away to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

Dongfang Che activated his divine powers, manifesting the Void Realm, intending to engulf the thunderous swamp beside Xu Xuan.

With just this one divine ability, Han Shui gained the upper hand against the other water-element cultivators, and Lei Ze was also somewhat affected.

He was no ordinary man; he had long harbored the intention to test this dragon among the people, and naturally, he was well-prepared.

As Lei Ze contracted, Dongfang Che charged forward with his halberd, their attacks intersecting and pressing down on the sword's edge. The scene of the Great Ruins manifested, about to engulf Xu Xuan. Layers of golden, malevolent light emanated from the two short halberds, representing the path of Dui Jin.

These two short halberds are of a grade no lower than [Lieque]. They are soft on the outside but hard on the inside. At this moment, the sword energy dissipates, and the halberd branches intertwine like a swarm of dragon teeth, biting the Lieque sword and causing purple lightning to burst forth.

Seeing that he had locked the opponent's spiritual sword, Dongfang Che revealed a cold smile. He opened his dragon mouth, and azure spiritual waves surged forth, with spiritual patterns intertwined. Just getting close to it made people feel as if their physical bodies were being eroded.

Xu Xuan's spirit sword was locked at this moment, but he did not show any unusual expression. He did not even use his sword intent. He activated the Jade Blood Heavenly Heart Technique and revealed three heads and six arms.

With one hand activating the Hengyue Seal, the Gen Earth underwent wondrous changes, and the seal instantly became as heavy as Mount Tai. Xu Xuan used his supernatural powers to lift it up, and a bright yellow light shone brightly, crashing towards Dongfang Che's face.

This attack interrupted the opponent's spiritual wave. Dongfang Chelong's head tilted to the side, and he managed to withstand the impact with his physical body, with pieces of white scales being blown away.

As the blue waves receded again, Xu Xuan twisted his spirit sword, and twelve heavenly sounds rang out. The Thunder Palace patrolled the sky, and the power of the purple lightning beside him surged, shattering the great ruins behind Dongfang Che.

In that instant, Xu Xuan drew Lieque, and the [Myriad Rift Locking Body Sword Light] shot out, with thousands of purple rays shooting out and colliding with Bi Tao, exploding into thousands of purple and green streams of light in the sky.

At this moment, Xu Xuan activated his sword intent, and his killing power surged. He swung his sword straight down, and the void seemed to shatter like a broken mirror, disintegrating inch by inch and stretching out. Unparalleled sword light, carrying purple lightning, slashed down from the sea.

Dongfang Che dared not provoke him at this moment. A pale blue spirit pearl rose from the wooden corner, and immediately gusts of wind surged up between heaven and earth, swirling and blowing away the clouds, causing the lake below to churn.

This bead stirs up a calamity, and is a rare artifact of pure Qi. It is engraved with the words "Nan Gong" and blows a calamity wind that destroys one's nature and life, like Ding fire and She thunder, one of the three calamities.

The windstorm collided with the sword light, extinguishing the thunder. At this moment, Dongfang Che activated another divine ability, [Hidden End], and his body exuded an infinitely thick and vast aura. No matter how Xu Xuan urged the thunder to bombard him, it was like a mud ox entering the sea, without making the slightest ripple.

Four magical swords were unleashed, and the [Heavenly Tribulation and Earthly Punishment Sword Formation] was set up, barely locking Dongfang Che's figure in place. However, the aura emanating from his magical body continuously eroded the sword formation.

Xu Xuan's eyes sharpened, and a dazzling purple light appeared on the tip of his sword, like the sun hanging in the sky; it was the [Yang Lei Xuan Zhi].

The purple sun shone brightly in the sky, and the sword intent of [Chaos] swirled. Several purple lightning sword marks appeared on Dongfang Che's chest, the sword intent spreading out and faintly connecting with the purple sun in the sky. This sword intent was similar to the [Five Poisons Life-Chasing Lock] that Wu Heyong had used before, but it was even more wondrous. As long as it struck, it could continuously strike the wound again, almost endlessly.

He had not activated it before, intending to achieve a decisive victory. At this moment, Zi Yang suddenly rose up, and after being compressed by the Zi Ji Chao Kong in the Lie Que Sword, it transformed into a point of chaotic deep purple light.

Then, the [Yang Thunder Profound Arrival] manifested from the wound on Dongfang Che's chest, brimming with sword intent. His expression changed, and he was already draped in a silver-white armor, its feathers gleaming—a true Qi armor.

The surging thunder met the light of true qi and broke apart in an instant. Dongfang Che's blood flew everywhere. Even though the dragon's body was strong and he was protected by the armor of true qi, the sword intent of the Chaos was there and it kept slashing at his wounds. How could he resist it?

His breath was weak, and a burst of azure energy rose from his body to protect his life force. His chest cavity had already been pierced by the Purple Thunder Heavenly Sun. This sword move, combined with the [Purple Heavenly Thunder], was even more lethal to his physical body.

Dongfang Che stood firm, holding his halberd, revealing a section of azure spiritual branch at his heart point, containing a point of golden-white light that continuously neutralized the lightning and strengthened his vitality.

"This is... 'Yuanmu'?"

Xu Xuan had seen the four woods of Jia, Yi, Ji, and Guang, but he had never seen this spiritual wood before. Its vitality was extremely strong, and it forcefully exhausted all the lightning to protect Dongfang Che.

"Not bad, it is the [Jianmu Yuanzhi]. You can be proud that you forced me to activate this thing." Dongfang Che circulated his cultivation technique, and his flesh and blood were now healing. He gripped the double halberds again, his voice cold and sharp.

The golden aura of his twin halberds surged, their dragon heads drooping as they spewed forth vast blue waves, their power suddenly rising. At the same time, the wind pearl began to spin rapidly, howling winds stirring up the blue sea and golden light, pressing down upon it.

Xu Xuan transformed, lightning coalesced, and the [Unified Blameless Thunder] merged with his dragon body, revealing the Thunder Swamp Dharma Body. It was majestic in three aspects, with the central figure being a chaotic god who opened his eyes and looked at him indifferently.

Thunder surged, and the Dharma Body sat within it, its divine power constantly rising, overshadowing the Great Ruins scene of Dongfang Che, causing Bi You, who was watching from the sidelines, to show a strange expression.

The white dragon revealed its true form, carrying rolling golden and azure waves, riding the wind and clouds to attack. Behind it was a dark and desolate ruin, which absorbed all the thunderous sword energy.

The dragon's head, ferocious and menacing, collided with the Dharma body. The two intertwined in the sky, dragging streams of light as they fell towards the lake below.

The purple lightning and blue waves surged, making it difficult to see for a moment. Both sides sank into the swamp, causing the surrounding area to tremble, and the scaled snakes retreated in fright.

A vortex appeared, with surging blue waves and the continuous roar of a white dragon. Bi You's heart clenched. In the end, Dongfang Che's Dao power was profound and he had many spiritual artifacts, which overwhelmed this You Du Dragon Prince.

But after only three breaths, a hazy purple aura appeared in the blue waves. Thunder flowed, overshadowing the blue waves, and a pale blue wind bead was slashed by the sword and jumped out, shooting into the sky.

Lei Ze's Dharma Body broke through the vortex and took a step forward. Lie Que raised his sword against the current, lifting the white dragon from the lake and nailing the sword tip to the dragon's body.

Sword intent burst forth, circulating and intertwining. At this moment, with six arms gripping the sword, immense power was generated, slicing through the silver armor on Dongfang Chelong's body and heading straight for his heart.

Purple lightning collided with green wood, and the two sides clashed. However, the [Jianmu Yuanzhi] was defeated and was completely destroyed by the endless purple lightning, turning into ashes.

With a flick of his sword, Lie Que had already ripped out Dongfang Che's dragon tendon, causing the white dragon to let out a miserable howl and revert to human form, nearly being cut in two by the sword intent.

"Alright, that's enough for now. Let's not ruin the harmony. Nephew Dongfang, how is my son's swordsmanship? Have you had your fill?"

Guangze's slightly mocking voice suddenly arose, and the light of Ren water changed, separating the two sides.

With a light tug of his sword, Xu Xuan severed a section of the dragon tendon, leaving Dongfang Che pale and unsteady on his feet.

"Do you still want?"

Withdrawing his Dharma body, Xu Xuan removed the piece of the gleaming white dragon tendon from the tip of his sword and looked at Dongfang Che. The white dragon's face was extremely gloomy at this moment. It transformed into a stream of light and returned to the treasure ship without saying a word.

Xu Xuan weighed the dragon tendon in his hand; it was extremely tough and a rare spiritual object.

"I thank you for standing up for me, brother. Dongfang Che is domineering, but I am unwilling to go to the Great Ruins Sea Realm with him."

Bi You stepped forward, thanked Xu Xuan, looked at the dragon tendon, and covered her face with a smile.

"However, Dongfang Che is related to the Thunder Dragon King. When my brother leaves the cave, there might be more trouble."

"We'll talk about it then."

Xu Xuan remained calm as he lightly pressed the sword tip, retracting it into the Reverse Scale. However, he heard Guangze transmit a message, his tone tinged with worry.

"It's time to go. If you stay in Renze for too long, you'll end up like us."
