Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 228 Fiery Aura Enters the Heart
Within the misty swamp, the dragon's might was spreading.

"Cold light!"

With an indifferent gaze, Jiang Chen opened his mouth as he watched Huang Feng Sanren arrive with a sandstorm.

In the next instant, a cold light flashed, and the seemingly powerful sandstorm was immediately torn apart and frozen, leaving only a mess and not even a ripple.

Fortunately, Huang Feng Sanren's attack was not entirely useless. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Hu approached Jiang Chen.

"kill!"

Seeing Jiang Chen so close at hand, Zhou Hu swung his golden hammer with all his might. In an instant, a huge golden hammer phantom took shape, carrying scorching flames, and smashed fiercely towards Jiang Chen's dragon body.

He cultivated the Xuanjia Shahuo Scripture and also refined the Tiger Sha, making his physique as strong as a tiger demon, with extremely strong close combat ability.

But at that moment, Jiang Chen's blood surged, and he extended a dragon claw, easily blocking Zhou Hu's golden hammer phantom. This was the Xuan Sha Finger.

"break!"

With a surge of powerful internal energy, Jiang Chen easily broke through Zhou Hu's killing move with a gentle effort.

At the same time, the dragon's tail lashed out, carrying waves that crashed down on Zhou Hu. In that instant, several of Zhou Hu's defensive techniques shattered, and he was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

With the spiritual revival, Jiang Chen not only enhanced his true qi but also his physical body. Not to mention, this attack not only contained the power of the dragon but also the blessing of the spell "Summoning Tide." Although Jiang Chen has not yet perfected this spell, it has reached a high level of mastery and is now usable.

"This malevolent energy is even purer than Zhou Siyuan's Green Serpent Malevolent Energy."

Retracting his dragon claw, Jiang Chen's gaze flickered as he watched the dark red fiery flames burning fiercely at his fingertips and spreading outwards. These fiery flames had indeed caused him some damage.

"Unfortunately, Zhou Hu's strength is still a little lacking."

With a thought, Jiang Chen exhaled a chill and wiped away the evil fire on the dragon's claw. Although the nature of this evil fire was somewhat special, it still could not change the balance of power.

"We cannot fight them by force! We cannot fight them by force!"

Having barely survived the onslaught of the cold light, his body covered in frost, Huang Fengsanren's fighting spirit was shattered when he saw Jiang Chen hovering in mid-air, clad in bone armor, covered in bone spurs, bathed in blood and fire, displaying a ferocious appearance.

With just one strike, he was already severely injured. Compared to before, the Frost Dragon was now much stronger, truly possessing the invincible aura of a Qi Refining cultivator. If he could barely hold his own against the Frost Dragon before, the current Frost Dragon left him utterly defenseless.

"Why is this happening? Even if he really did refine the spiritual treasure, it shouldn't be like this."

Completely baffled and with no will to fight, Huang Feng Sanren barely mustered his strength and, amidst the sandstorm, attempted to break out. However, a simple clash made him realize that the two sides were simply not on the same level.

But at that moment, a cold sword light emerged from the clouds, easily tearing through the sand and severing his head.

"you···"

His head fell off, facing the direction where Jiang Chen was, and Huang Feng Sanren died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

At the same time, beneath the earth, accompanied by the roar of a ferocious tiger, a plume of malevolent energy shot into the sky like a column of black smoke.

"You forced me to do this."

A surge of malevolent energy poured into his body from a special storage bag, causing Zhou Hu's already ferocious aura to surge even further, instantly approaching the true limit of Qi cultivation.

At this moment, his flesh and blood underwent a mutated change. Not only did his body swell to three zhang (approximately 10 meters), but his face also transformed into a tiger's face, with bloodshot eyes filled with savagery and utter inhumanity.

"Roar!"

Driven by murderous intent and devoid of reason, Zhou Hu, fueled by his last remaining obsession, transformed into a humanoid tiger demon and launched an attack on Jiang Chen. But at that very moment, a chilling blue light silently bloomed.

With a snap, a cold light fell, and a chilling aura spread. Centered on Zhou Hu's location, the cold air raged, freezing almost half of the Yellow Sand Valley.

At that moment, the world turned bitterly cold, and the soaring evil aura and the roaring tiger demon vanished, leaving only frost covering the ground.

"Drawing evil energy into the heart, such a secret technique is truly vicious. If it were reinforced by a military formation, it might actually be able to fight me a few times."

In mid-air, looking at Zhou Hu, who was completely frozen and turned into an ice sculpture, Jiang Chen's expression changed slightly.

It must be said that Zhou Hu's secret technique is quite powerful. Although the aftereffects are great and he will completely lose himself, it has indeed raised his strength to a level close to the limit of Qi Refining. Under normal circumstances, there would be very few people who are at the peak of Qi Refining who could be his opponent. But it is very likely that he encountered Jiang Chen.

He was close to the limit of Qi Refining, while Jiang Chen had already surpassed the limit of Qi Refining by relying on the power of his spirituality.

"It's time to end."

With a sudden thought, Jiang Chen extended his dragon claw and grasped the ice sculpture that Zhou Hu had transformed into.

In the next instant, with a gentle exertion of force, the ice sculpture formed by Zhou Hu turned into dust in Jiang Chen's hand, and Zhou Hu's life force completely dissipated; he was dead.

"The enemy is dead, and the play is almost over. After today, my spirituality should soon return to perfection."

Touching the corpses and capturing the souls, Jiang Chen began to clean up the battlefield. Due to the great battle, he was unable to accurately manipulate the illusionary mist, but he could still mislead people. Occasionally, he would stir the mist to allow outsiders to catch a glimpse of something, seeing some ambiguous scenes.

"It's not bad."

Looking at his final haul, Jiang Chen smiled.

Although Huang Feng Sanren and Zhou Hu were not as good as him, they were still genuine Qi Refining Perfection cultivators and possessed some valuable items. Zhou Hu, in particular, not only had a top-grade magic weapon and a high-grade magic weapon, but also a special kind of evil energy treasure.

Ultimately, he was able to use a secret technique to forcibly enhance his strength, and that's what he relied on.

After cleaning up the battlefield and making sure nothing was missed, Jiang Chen began the final cleanup.

"Yellow Wind Demon, today I will make you pay for Fellow Daoist Zhou's life."

With a sound that shook the surrounding area, Jiang Chen once again activated the Cold Light Technique, tearing through the mist and erasing all traces of it.

What was ultimately revealed to everyone was that Huang Feng Sanren was turned into an ice sculpture, trampled to death by Jiang Chen, and his body turned into dust.

Seeing this scene, everyone who had rushed over was stunned. They had been unable to get close before because of the flying sand and stones, the military formation, and the fog.

"They're all...they're all dead..."

A chilling aura swept over them, and some cultivators couldn't help but shiver as they looked at the corpses buried beneath the dark blue ice.

At this moment, looking at the dragon lying on the ice, covered in blood and with its life force extremely weak, everyone's eyes were filled with awe.

“The demons are cunning and have long set a trap in Yellow Wind Valley. Fellow Daoist Zhou Hu has unfortunately perished, and I am also seriously injured. The rest is up to you. You must wipe out the remaining demons.”

After glancing at everyone, Jiang Chen gave a weak and listless reply.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately bowed in agreement.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen nodded, said nothing more, and rode away on the mist, thus bringing the great battle of Huangfeng Valley to a close.
