Chapter 320 A Head-on Clash with a Nascent Soul, Intricate and Complex

The two seas appeared almost simultaneously

A fierce confrontation covered the sky above the Shifangguan Mountains.
A wave surged in the East China Sea, and a divine avatar emerged from the sea, standing before the divine avatar of Luo Xuan Town Guardian. The newcomer was none other than Jin Chuan, the East China Sea Guardian.

The instant Jin Chuan stood still, he blocked the overwhelming force of the Western Sea Realm, silently shielding Li Wushou behind him, and then spoke, demanding:

"Luo Xuan, how did you manage to mobilize the Western Sea Realm within the inner city?"

Luo Xuan looked at Jin Chuan, who had suddenly arrived, with a cold expression. The killing intent between his brows did not waver in the slightest. Facing the questioning, he declared with chilling murderous intent:
"Li Wushou, the divine official of Huazhou, murdered Luo Ze, the patrol envoy of the Western Sea Vein. He deserves to be executed!"

Killed Roze?
Jin Chuan was also surprised when he heard this. Did this kid have such ability?

After examining Li Wushou, at first glance he appeared to be covered in blood and gore, but upon closer inspection, it became clear that this kid was actually using his physical body to contain the power of the boundary.
This discovery made Jin Chuan's teeth ache. What kind of physical body is this?

It seems they really can kill Luo Ze!
But didn't the other side just cross the East China Sea boundary?

On the other hand, Chongyuan hadn't even finished explaining his mission, and you've already wandered over here and killed a sea patrol envoy?

This kid is definitely not one to stay still; he's always causing trouble!
Jin Chuan was shocked, but he wasn't stupid; he knew there was definitely something wrong here.

The Western Sea Vein is different from them. If they really sensed Li Wushou's presence, there is a high possibility that they would kill him. So it is very likely that Luo Ze made the first move, but was defeated and killed.

Otherwise, how could I have run into Luo Ze at Sifangguan?
After a brief moment of astonishment, Jin Chuan analyzed the situation and then began to try to calm Luo Xuan down.

Putting aside the young lady's instructions, even without them, he couldn't sit idly by and watch a young man capable of reversing Luo Ze's fate be killed in front of him. Even if he were to kill him, he would have to wait for the Grand Venerable to return before making a decision.

Unexpectedly, the moment Luo Xuan finished speaking, his primordial spirit dharma form opened its mouth and swallowed the power of the Western Sea Realm.

Immediately afterwards, the enormous primordial spirit dharma image shrank instead of shrinking, and the void collapsed as it contracted. The primordial spirit dharma image merged into the void, and in the next instant, it broke through the seal of Jin Chuan's primordial spirit dharma image and appeared in front of Li Wushou.

Upon seeing this, Jin Chuan suddenly turned around, drawing the power of the East Sea Realm into his body, and struck back at Luo Xuan with his palm. Jin Chuan's reaction was undeniably fast, but he was still a step too slow.

Like Li Wushou just now, Luo Xuan was willing to endure this blow head-on, and his killing intent remained firm!
Li Wushou sensed this and focused his attention on Luo Xuan's primordial spirit rushing towards him. This was the strongest killing intent Li Wushou had felt, apart from Luo Xuan's rule-based avatar.

He could also be considered the strongest opponent Li Wushou had ever faced!
There was no fear, no dread of death; instead, I felt my blood boiling.

A sense of anger welled up within Li Wushou, as if Luo Xuan's attack on him was a grave act of disrespect. This anger was inexplicable, but Li Wushou was prepared to unleash his full power.

Far from the eerie fog and deep into the Fubo Domain, Li Wushou was no longer so apprehensive about using his near-immortal physique.

However, after using the near-immortal body, it's probably impossible to stay in Zhenhai City anymore.

Li Wushou would not use himself as bait to test the character of Zhenhai Dazun.

Just then, the old beggar in the Three Immortals Pavilion walked up to Chen Gou'er and whispered something in his ear. After a few words, Chen Gou'er suddenly put his hands on his hips and shouted:
"Li Wushou, your 'Dog Master' is here to help you, let's beat him up!"

The moment he finished shouting, Chen Gou'er rushed to the incense table, picked up the wire that Li Wushou had placed on it, and slashed his own palm.

The wound was large and deep, and Chen Gou'er cried out in pain, but his little face remained tense as he pressed the wound directly against the memorial tablet with the name "Li Wushou" written on it.

Flesh and blood writhed, and in the blink of an eye, the spirit tablet was enveloped in a layer of flesh and blood.

At the same time, Li Wushou's body suddenly burst forth with intense blood light, and his torn and mangled flesh was instantly repaired.

Li Wushou, who was about to use his near-immortal body, was taken aback. He knew that Chen Gou'er was unique in the way of flesh and blood, but this was the first time Li Wushou had seen Chen Gou'er use this method of using his own flesh and blood to strengthen the body of others.

However, seeing Chen Gou'er's face suddenly lose some color, Li Wushou realized that this method must have been extremely taxing on Chen Gou'er.

It's even possible that it could only be used after consuming the remaining flesh and blood of those great beings on the bronze gate.

But no matter what, he couldn't let Chen Gou'er down. Now that his physical body had reached a higher level, it meant that he was absorbing even more boundary power.

With a thought, a large amount of boundary energy once again floated out from the Taiji Dojo, merging into Li Wushou's body along with the boundary energy born from his own Dharma Realm.

His body, which was originally nearly two zhang long, swelled up again until it reached about five zhang long, at which point Li Wushou felt his flesh and blood about to tear apart once more.

At this moment, Li Wushou's body was no smaller than Luo Xuan's condensed primordial spirit dharma form.

Facing Luo Xuan's punch that was already in front of him, Li Wushou didn't think twice and mobilized the boundary power within his body to swing his right fist and crash into it as well.

This attack was quite difficult for Li Wushou to control, as the immense power of the realm made it difficult for him to master it smoothly.

Li Wushou transformed into a silver light and used extreme speed. At the moment the two fists collided, the enormous inertia carried the boundary force outward. This method was extremely brutal, but it was much more effective than him using it himself.

"Boom!"

With a muffled thud in the void, Li Wushou and Luo Xuan's primordial spirit avatars retreated simultaneously.

Upon seeing this, Jin Chuan's face lit up with joy. He hadn't expected Li Wushou to have such a hidden method. He had just been extremely annoyed, thinking that Li Wushou was probably in grave danger.

If he hadn't made it in time, that would have been one thing, but the accident happened right under his nose, and he didn't know how to explain it.

Fortunately, he didn't die!

Seeing Luo Xuan about to charge at Li Wushou again, Jin Chuan snorted coldly and swung his hand to grab Luo Xuan's shoulder.

With his other hand, he pressed down, annihilating the aftershocks of their battle into the void.

Turning slightly, Jin Chuan said to Luo Xuan:

"The reason for this killing has not yet been clarified. Moreover, whether it is life or death should be decided by the Great Venerable. Huazhou has been invited to Zhenhai City. Do you intend to undermine the unity between Fubo Domain and the Twelve Continents?" These words were extremely harsh, but Luo Xuan coldly retorted:

"For the sake of the unity of the Twelve Continents, are we just going to sit idly by and watch the Sea Guardian be killed? When will the Sea Guardian be killed, and we have to wait for the Great Venerable to inquire about it?"

At this moment, he was also filled with regret. With Jin Chuan blocking his way, he would not be able to kill Li Wushou in a short time.

If I had known the opponent was so powerful, I shouldn't have sent Luo Ze into the fray. I should have gone all out to kill him directly. Now it's too late!

Luo Xuan stared at Li Wushou, and seeing Li Wushou's calm expression, his apprehension grew even stronger.

No! I must kill him!

Jin Chuan felt a headache coming on when he heard Luo Xuan's answer.

Strictly speaking, Luo Xuan's actions were not problematic. If it were him, he would have also killed Chong Yuan if Chong Yuan had been beheaded.

The only difference was their differing stances, so he held onto Luo Xuan's shoulder tightly and insisted:
"If they were outsiders, they would naturally be killed. However, Huazhou belongs to Fubo Domain and is also under the Great Venerable's tutelage. In order to avoid greater losses, everything will depend on the Great Venerable's return to make a decision!"

Not long after he finished speaking, two more illusory figures appeared in the void, and spoke as they appeared:
"As it should be!"

The identities of these two people, who are able to appear at this moment and have the right to speak, are not hard to guess.

One of them was Sang You, the garrison commander of Beihai, and the other, the only woman, was Yuan Xuan, the garrison commander of Nanhai.

After agreeing with Jin Chuan's words, the two men then looked at Li Wushou with great interest.

They didn't really know why, but they had seen Luo Xuan's attack just now, which was a real display of his full strength.

On the other hand, this unfamiliar young man, despite being somewhat disheveled, managed to hold on.

Moreover, such violent boundary energy was directly absorbed into the body without causing an explosion?
The other party's physical body should be completely flawless, right?

This is also why Sang You and Yuan Xuan decided to support Jin Chuan.

A junior who was suspected of having cultivated an impenetrable body should not have died so mysteriously.

It's not too late to make a decision after the Great One has taken a look!
Jin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing their words.

With the support of the two men, Li Wushou's life was temporarily saved.

Everything else can wait until the Great Venerable returns; at that time, whether to kill or punish him will be none of his concern.

So he took the lead and concluded definitively:
"In that case, Li Wushou will return to the Edge of the Sea with me, and he shall not leave the Edge of the Sea even a step before the Great Venerable returns!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Xuan's killing intent remained undiminished. With a flick of his sleeve, he directly shook off Jin Chuan's arm, and then, without saying a word, he rode the Western Sea Realm away from the Four Directions Pavilion.

When Li Wushou saw this scene, a glint flashed in his eyes. He knew this was not over!

If he had enough strength today, he would have risked everything to kill Luo Xuan, but unfortunately his soul was ultimately lacking.

After this battle, Li Wushou also gained a clear understanding and assessment of his own strength.

While the Nascent Soul stage is invincible, it is still quite far from the level of the Divine Transformation stage, like Luo Xuan's.

But there's plenty of time in the future!
Li Wushou also did not bring today's events to a close.

Sooner or later he'll twist Luo Xuan's head!

Of course, there was another reason why Li Wushou gave up using his near-immortal body to fight Luo Xuan: the different attitudes of the various Zhenhai Envoys.

Judging from the attitudes of the four men, the two garrison commanders of the East and West clearly recognized them.

The West Sea Garrison Commander's use of Gu Zhenjun to make things difficult for Chi Xiu and the others was likely aimed at him. Judging from Luo Ze and Luo Xuan's attitudes, the other party was determined to kill him.

The East Sea Garrison Commander, on the contrary, showed friendliness from the very beginning in the East Sea region, and just now he even took direct action.

Clearly, the other party is trying to protect themselves!

The two garrison commanders of Beihai and Nanhai later on were different from these two. Although they spoke up for him, they probably did not recognize him.

The way the two looked at him was somewhat similar to Chongyuan's in some ways. They were probably just shocked by their own bodies and didn't want to die without knowing why.

This corroborated his earlier conjecture that the West Sea Vein's targeting of him and Huazhou was not due to the orders of the Great Lord Zhenhai, but rather the other party's own initiative.

This is also why Li Wushou dared to kill Luo Ze directly, since the other party had attacked first.

Li Wushou originally thought that if he killed Luo Ze, the Grand Venerable would definitely step in to stop him, but he did not expect that the Grand Venerable was not in Zhenhai City.

Previously, the Grand Venerable's refusal to appear led Li Wushou to believe that the Grand Venerable had tacitly approved of the West Sea Vein's previous actions, which is why Li Wushou decided to use his near-immortal body to take a gamble.

Now it seems things aren't as bad as they seemed.

But if the Great Venerable is not in Zhenhai City, then who uttered the "Get out" shout last night when he dispersed the eerie mist?
It seems that the disciples of this great master are also quite complex!

But what exactly is the reason for all of this?

Is it her?
