Tianyuan Xuanxian

Chapter 128 Keeping the King Safe
"Haha, Chen Xuan, you will definitely die today, and all the secret treasures on you will belong to my Yunzhou City!"

The old man who served as Zhou Yi's escort laughed wildly.

The faces of the cultivators around were all gloomy. With a powerful Yuanying master here, they were destined to have no chance of obtaining the secret treasure, and they all showed helplessness.

"This Chen Xuan was only at the eighth level of the Qi training stage when he came out of the inheritance land. In just three months, he has grown to this level. He should have been a top powerhouse in the future, but unfortunately he is destined to fall today!"

Some people shook their heads and sighed. With the power of this punch, even a Jindan stage cultivator would be doomed to die. No one thought that Chen Xuan could survive.

"Alas, this boy is a natural talent, possessing a secret treasure, but unfortunately he acts too ostentatiously. Even if he doesn't die today, he is destined to die young in the future."

"Humph!"

An old woman in the late Jindan stage snorted coldly. One of her younger generations died in the Immortal Burial Inheritance. She hated Chen Xuan to the core and said:

"This little bastard colluded with the demon tribes from outside the domain and the Demon Sect, wantonly slaughtering cultivators from all sides. Killing him like this is too easy for him!"

At this moment, the eyes that everyone cast towards Chen Xuan contained resentment, regret, and pity, but there were also a very small number of people who still had a glimmer of hope, thinking that if Chen Xuan could turn the tide, they might still have a chance to seize the secret treasure on him.

But this sense of anticipation only existed for a moment before it completely dissipated. The fist shadow was too terrifying, and there was no way Chen Xuan could survive.

For a moment, everyone was talking and discussing.

Chen Xuan ignored the words of these people. Facing the huge fist shadow that could crush him into powder, he remained calm and spoke calmly:
"Qingling"

In an instant, a petite green figure appeared in front of Chen Xuan and pointed lightly.

"Kakaka..."

A series of shattering and cracking sounds were heard, and in the horrified eyes of everyone, huge cracks appeared on the unstoppable fist shadow in the air, and then it shattered with a loud bang.

Everyone was shocked. They looked in disbelief at the figure that suddenly appeared in the void, a girl in a long green dress.

It was this seemingly fragile and petite girl who shattered the unstoppable fist shadow with just one finger.

Above, the Yuanying who was sitting on the ferry had a changed expression, and his pupils shrank slightly.
"Middle stage of Nascent Soul!"

The next moment, he tore through the void in front of him and his body instantly sank into it.

"He escaped! The Nascent Soul expert who was in charge of the ferry actually escaped!"

Someone exclaimed, his voice trembling.

Everyone was in an uproar. How powerful was this girl? She made a Nascent Soul cultivator lose the courage to fight and flee without any respect!

In an instant, all those who attacked Chen Xuan were scared to death.

They screamed and shouted, and flew out of the ferry without caring about their dignity. Dozens of people joined forces to destroy the spider web formation that covered the ferry.

However, those attacks that were enough to overwhelm and crush a top-level Jindan expert only left a series of shallow marks when they fell on the spider web formation. With a flash of white light, the marks completely disappeared, and the formation remained the same as before.

They were scared and ran away from Chen Xuan and the battlefield at a faster speed.

"What kind of formation is this that can withstand such a powerful attack!"

They didn't know that Zhu Yin now had 50% of the blood of the ancient demon Tengu, and his attainments in formations had reached a superb level. If it weren't for his insufficient soul and cultivation, his attainments in formations would have far surpassed his previous Nascent Soul stage.

In this case, how could the strongest enemy-trapping formation created by his essence and blood be broken by a group of Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators?

At this moment, a space crack suddenly appeared again in mid-air, and a figure stepped out. It was the Nascent Soul cultivator guarding the ferry.

His face was gloomy as he looked at the formation covering the ferry, his expression more solemn than ever before.

This formation even blocked the void, dividing the inside of the formation and the outside world into two worlds, like an independent little world.

He couldn't imagine what level of realm the person who set up the formation had reached to be able to set up such a heaven-defying formation, and he didn't have time to think about it.

Because he saw the girl in the emerald green dress stepping on the air and rushing towards him.

"Senior, this is all a misunderstanding!"

He looked flustered and hurriedly began to explain that he did not want to fight with the girl. Only he could feel the heavy aura from the girl, as deep as the sea.

The higher the level of cultivation, the more obvious the gap between each small realm becomes. He has just entered the Nascent Soul stage and has only the first level of Nascent Soul cultivation, while the girl in front of him has at least reached the fifth level of Nascent Soul, or even the sixth level of Nascent Soul, and is already a leader in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, far beyond his ability to compete with.

But Qingling ignored his words. As long as Chen Xuan didn't call for a stop, she would kill him without hesitation.

Seeing that begging for mercy was useless, the Yuanying immediately looked ruthless and said with a gloomy face:

"Fellow Daoist, you are indeed powerful, but if you force me into a desperate situation, even if I can't kill you, I can make you pay a heavy price!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he was greeted by Qing Ling's palm strike in the face.

Qing Ling's delicate palm pressed against his chest, and the man immediately let out a scream, his chest bones shattered, and his body flew backwards.

Qing Ling waved her hand, and a green snake a hundred feet long appeared behind her. Drops of poison dripped from her mouth, and it went straight towards the man to bite him.

Seeing this, the man was terrified. He raised his hand to shatter the space in front of him and went straight into the space crack.

Qing Ling snorted coldly, waved his hand to shatter the space in front of him, and started to chase after him.

"What kind of monster dares to run wild on human territory!"

At this moment, a loud shout rang out, the sound was like thunder rumbling in the sky, which made everyone's eardrums hurt and their souls tremble.

I saw a huge golden hand reaching out from a high-end guest room in the distance. It slapped the air dozens of feet wide, causing it to crack, and then reached straight in.

In an instant, the void shattered again, and a green figure flew out and landed on the deck of the ferry.

Qing Ling climbed up from the deck, a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and his pair of green vertical pupils looked coldly in the direction where the big hand was stretched out.

A middle-aged man in golden armor walked out from there, holding a golden spear, and looked at Qingling with indifference.

The Nascent Soul cultivator guarding the ferry also emerged from the void. Upon seeing the man, his expression immediately became extremely respectful, and he bowed to him.
"Junior Zhou Yang greets Senior Zhan Jinfeng!"

"What, he is Zhan Jinfeng!"

The monks who were fleeing madly stopped immediately and looked at the man in golden armor.

"Zhan Jinfeng? Which Zhan Jinfeng?"

Someone asked suspiciously.

As soon as he said this, several people around him immediately cast surprised glances at him:

"Don't you even know Zhan Jinfeng?"

One of them explained:

"Zhan Jinfeng comes from Baizhan City, one of the five major cities in Southern Xinjiang. Rumor has it that he reached the Nascent Soul stage a hundred years ago. He loves to help those in need. His strength is unfathomable, and he is renowned throughout the Xuanwu Dynasty!"

The man said this while casting an admiring look at Zhan Jinfeng. The man's voice was not small and fell clearly into Chen Xuan's ears.

Chen Xuan sneered, disdaining the man's words of "helping others when seeing injustice". If that were true, he would have taken action when he was besieged before. Why wait until now?

Zhan Jinfeng's eyes flashed with coldness, and the spear in his hand pointed directly at Qingling.

"As a transformed demon, you dared to sneak into the territory of the Xuanwu Dynasty and wantonly slaughter human cultivators. I will kill you and your accomplices here today!"

Qing Ling's emerald green pupils swept across the man, without any emotion in her eyes, and she said calmly:

"The hypocritical human race really makes me sick!"

As soon as these words were spoken, several cultivators became furious. In their eyes, Zhan Jinfeng was a righteous man who loved to help the weak. He was a role model in the minds of many righteous cultivators. How could they allow others to humiliate him like this, not to mention that Qingling was a demon.

"You damned demons! You showed up in our human territory without permission and even dared to ruin Senior Zhan's reputation! You deserve to die!"

"Senior Zhan, Chen Xuan and this monster are wantonly slaughtering us. Senior Zhan, please take action, kill Chen Xuan, and destroy this monster!"

"That's right, Chen Xuan has colluded with the demon clan and has fallen into the devil's way himself. I beg you to fight me, senior, to subdue the demon!"

"Senior, please help us to eliminate the demons and uphold justice!"

A group of cultivators were excited and shouted non-stop. The appearance of Zhan Jinfeng at this moment gave them a glimmer of hope as they were in a desperate situation just a moment ago. They all asked Zhan Jinfeng to kill Chen Xuan.

"Haha, alright, since you all say so, I will naturally not ignore it. I will kill this demon and monster today and restore order to the Xuanwu Dynasty!"

After saying that, his figure flashed and he instantly appeared in front of Qingling. He swept the spear in his hand, creating a large crack in space and smashed it towards Qingling.

It has to be said that this person's combat power is extremely strong, even terrifying, and his realm is infinitely close to the late Nascent Soul stage. Under his storm-like attack, Qing Ling retreated repeatedly and dealt with him.

Seeing Qing Ling being dragged by that man, the surrounding cultivators turned their eyes to Chen Xuan, with bloodthirsty gleam in their eyes.

"Boy, now that you've played all your cards, this formation covering the ferry has become a cage that will trap you to death. Prepare to die!"

Zhou Yang had just lost all his face, and now seeing that Chen Xuan no longer had any strong people to protect him, he immediately rushed towards Chen Xuan to kill him.

Chen Xuan's expression changed slightly. He was in a desperate situation. He was now seriously injured, and the dark energy and spiritual energy in his body were almost exhausted. He could no longer withstand Zhou Yang's attack.

But as death approached, his heart became incomparably calm, and he murmured:
"Heroes are everywhere in the world, and the path to immortality is always filled with corpses. My death today is due to my inferior skills, but I have no regrets!"

Zhou Yang had already reached Chen Xuan's front at this moment. Upon hearing these words, he immediately grinned:

"Little bastard, you've completely humiliated me today. It's too easy for you to die like this. After I destroy your body, I'll extract your soul and refine it into a soul lamp, letting you suffer in torment for eternity!"

"Thousands of arrows pierce the heart!"

Zhou Yangli shouted, and three thousand phantom arrows suddenly condensed behind him. As he stretched out his hand and pointed forward, three thousand phantom arrows instantly shot towards Chen Xuan.

Zhu Yin, who had just arrived with Shuanglu, happened to see this scene. His eyes immediately turned red and he roared:
"Stop it!"

However, it was too late. The arrows had already reached Chen Xuan's eyes. Each arrow emitted a captivating cold light. Before the arrows hit Chen Xuan, large amounts of blood exploded on his body.

However, at this moment, a hazy light instantly bloomed from Chen Xuan's chest, and a holy aura spread out in all directions with Chen Xuan as the center.

The three thousand arrows shot by Zhou Yang stopped in mid-air the moment the light spread out, unable to move forward any further.

Everyone was shocked, even Zhan Jinfeng, who was fighting with Qing Ling, looked sideways at Chen Xuan.

"Shu~"

A talisman flew out from Chen Xuan's chest, and four beautiful words were clearly visible on the back of it: May you be safe.

And the diffused misty light was spreading from the talisman.

Immediately afterwards, the light became brighter and brighter, making it impossible for anyone to open their eyes, even Chen Xuan.

When the light faded, Chen Xuan slowly opened his eyes and saw a breathtakingly beautiful figure standing in front of him.

She was wearing a snow-white long dress, had slender features, dark eyebrows without any makeup, red lips without any makeup, and was holding a silver-white spear in her hand, with her sleeves fluttering in the wind.

Like a fairy walking out of a painting, or like a female war god looking down on the world, she stood in front of Chen Xuan, leaving him with only her back.

"Gu Jinxue..."

Chen Xuan spoke slowly, looking at the flawless back, and called out the name he had been thinking about day and night these days.

The beautiful figure seemed to have heard Chen Xuan's words. She turned her head slightly, looked at Chen Xuan with gentle eyes, and said:

"Just keep going forward, I will keep you safe."

After saying that, he turned around, his eyes became icy cold, as if filled with endless murderous intent, and pointed the spear in his hand at Zhou Yang, and opened his red lips slightly:

"Anyone who hurts him today will die!"

As soon as the words were spoken, they were like the mighty sound of heaven, and the terrifying power swept in all directions, causing a group of cultivators to retreat again and again.

Zhou Yang was shocked at first, thinking that Chen Xuan had summoned another peerless powerful man, and his body instantly retreated a hundred feet.

But when he saw that the person coming was at the same level as himself and was just an incarnation, his face suddenly turned red and he became extremely angry.

Today, because of Chen Xuan, he lost face again and again, and his hatred for Chen Xuan reached its peak.

A long sword appeared in his hand, his eyes were cold, and he rushed towards the incarnation.
"An incarnation of the first level of Yuanying, dares to stop me? Go to hell!"

He swung his sword, slashing out a thirty-foot sword energy, killing towards Gu Jinxue's incarnation.

Gu Jinxue's incarnation snorted coldly, thrusting the spear in his hand straight forward, instantly shattering the sword energy. His figure flashed, and he appeared less than ten feet in front of Zhou Yang. The Taiqing Qi like moonlight flowed from the tip of the spear, piercing Zhou Yang's eyebrows.

Zhou Yang had greatly underestimated the strength of this incarnation. Now that he was close to it, he realized that the terrifying aura emanating from it was no less than that of Qing Ling. Its strength was truly terrifying.

Feeling the power contained in this shot, Zhou Yang's expression changed drastically, and he quickly held his sword in front of him to block it.

The spear pierced the sword, causing the sword in his hand to instantly bend into an exaggerated arc and stick tightly to Zhou Yang's eyebrows.

"puff!"

Zhou Yang instantly vomited blood, flew backwards, and his face was full of horror.

He looked down at the sword in his hand. Fine cracks appeared on the sword, and it was almost broken.

This is a magic weapon, but it was destroyed by a single shot!
The calmness on Zhou Yang's face disappeared without a trace. He no longer had any desire to fight and immediately turned around and fled.

Gu Jinxue transformed into a female warrior holding a spear, cutting through the void in front of her, stepped in, and chased after him.

"That female Yuanying has gone after Zhou Yang. Let's take this opportunity to kill Chen Xuan together. Each of us can obtain the secret treasure on his body based on our own abilities!"

The old man who served as Zhou Yi's escort shouted loudly and rushed towards Chen Xuan first.
