Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation-Novel2

Chapter 678: Pure and Innocent Like the Heart of a Newborn

Despite having a higher cultivation, Yu Zhiqing and the other faction leaders were slower than Xiao Chen. They could not catch him at all and had no way to surround him. Instead, Xiao Chen controlled the rhythm of the battle.

The scene that unfolded left the onlookers dumbfounded. Their mouths all hung wide open, and they revealed expressions of complete disbelief.

“Close up, shoulder to shoulder!”

After they wasted their Quintessence and failed to surround Xiao Chen, Yu Zhiqiang unwillingly gave this command, his face twitching.

The four quickly drew together, standing shoulder to shoulder in a small circle. This formation denied Xiao Chen any more opportunities.

This move was rather effective. No matter who Xiao Chen attacked, the other three would be able to react quickly. He could not make use of his speed advantage.

“Ha ha! Yu Zhiqiang, don’t you want my proofs of completion? Why are you behaving like a tortoise? This is pathetic!”

When Xiao Chen saw this scene, he laughed loudly and mocked them without any fear.

The four immediately raged in their hearts and almost rushed out despite themselves, wanting to clash head-on with Xiao Chen again.

“However, it is useless to hide together. Burning the Heavens!”

Without waiting for the four to rush at him, Xiao Chen burned his Vital Qi. Azure smoke wafted out of the Tianmen Acupoint on his head and rushed to the sky.

Large patches of white clouds started burning with azure flames. From a distance, it really looked like the heavens were burning.

A dragon-shaped creature seemed to be swimming in the azure cloud. As Xiao Chen shouted, a dragon claw formed a fist and plunged from the sky.

The four worked together to defend, each of them sending out a move to clash with this Fist Burning the Heavens. Their Qi and blood surged, and their internal organs shook.

Xiao Chen shouted again and burned all the Vital Qi in his body. Since his Firmament Body Tempering Art had advanced to the peak of the sixth layer, he could already rely purely on Vital Qi to fight a Medial Grade Martial Monarch.

After consuming the half drop of Dragon Marrow and the Monarch Blood Grass, Xiao Chen could be said to have undergone rebirth. All his blood vessels, bones, and marrow seemed to have been reforged.

When Xiao Chen went all in, burning all his Vital Qi, the force that came forth could level a tall mountain and shake the world.

“Roar!”

When Xiao Chen shouted, the dragon hidden in the churning clouds roared ferociously as well, harmonizing with Xiao Chen’s shout from afar.

Suddenly, the weather raged, and the burning azure sky seemed like it would descend on the world. The entire space started to tremble endlessly.

“Claw Burning the Heavens!”

A colossal, solid-looking dragon claw covered in dragon scales broke through the clouds and headed for the four people standing shoulder to shoulder, swooping towards them rapidly.

The dragon claw looked like a miniature mountain. The instant it broke through the clouds, an enormous shadow covered the four.

“Bang!”

The four did their best to defend themselves. However, it was still not enough. They could no longer suppress their surging Qi and blood, and they vomited large mouthfuls of blood as they fell.

Fortunately for them, that dragon claw only appeared for an instant before disappearing into nothingness. Otherwise, it could have smashed the four to death.

After finishing his move, Xiao Chen had exhausted his Vital Qi. Not a single bit remained; he had even drawn a little too much.

However, he still had his Quintessence and the Saber Techniques that he was so proud of. From the very start to the end, he had not drawn his Lunar Shadow Saber.

Xiao Chen flipped his left hand, and the Lunar Shadow Saber appeared in his grasp from his Universe Ring. Then, he tightened his grip to hold it firmly.

An Azure Dragon image flew in the sky as Xiao Chen’s white robes fluttered in the wind. There was a certain serene and graceful air to him, entrancing the onlookers.

It was hard to imagine that a bladesman could have such an extraordinary air. Pure and innocent like the heart of a newborn, not contaminated by worldly affairs in the least.

When Xiao Chen drew the saber, a dazzling purple light containing boundless electricity appeared. When he infused his perfect saber intent into it, the saber light quickly turned solid, not leaking anything out.

The Azure Dragon image headed towards the four at full speed, setting off in hot pursuit. In a short time, it caught up even though it set off later.

“Sea of Lightning Saber Light Chop!”

Xiao Chen quickly sent out seven saber images, each with the immortal state of thunder perfectly infused into it. Then, each of the images split into three, turning into twenty-one solid-looking saber images.

Xiao Chen’s momentum surged like the vast sea, boundless and full of power. Yet, it also seemed like a thousand strands of light and shadow, making it hard to differentiate the real ones from the fakes.

The hearts of the four sank. They could tell that this Saber Technique was not ordinary. However, they could not pinpoint what about it was extraordinary.

Unfortunately for them, the saber images had already arrived. They could only do what they could to defend against this strange Saber Technique first before doing anything else.

“Dang! Dang! Dang!”

When the weapons clashed, clanging sounds rang out. The four were injured, but there was nothing serious. So they all heaved a sigh of relief.

“Bang!”

However, the four had not expected that this was only the start. The twenty-one saber images that scattered suddenly turned into a vast sea of lightning.

The sea of lightning exploded with horrifying energy, knocking these four people back, aggravating their internal injuries.

What scared them even more was that Xiao Chen had vanished. Instead, a venomous gaze stared at them from somewhere, making them feel fear in their hearts.

A strand of saber light suddenly appeared, like a rainbow piercing through heaven and earth. It disappeared in a flash, vanishing to nothingness.

When the four recovered their wits, they discovered an additional wound on their left shoulders. Then, four arms fell off and landed on the ground with a ‘thud.’

Four miserable shrieks resounded. Ignoring their pain, Yu Zhiqiang and the others quickly picked up their arms.

Finally, they rushed back towards the city in a pathetic state, hating that they could not grow another leg to be able to run faster. When an arm was chopped off, it was still possible to reattach the arm perfectly—if treatment was done in time.

However, if one was too late, it would be hard to predict the results.

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. Just when everyone felt a chill at Xiao Chen’s strength, a figure suddenly leaped out from the crowd.

An ancient giant formed in the sky above this person as he held a heavy green ruler.

Then, this person used the vast might of the ancient giant to press on Xiao Chen, who had just finished a big battle.

“You brat, Xiao Chen, eat a ruler strike from this granddaddy Situ Gang!”

Situ Gang revealed a sinister smile. Xiao Chen had exhausted his Vital Qi and had just executed a killing move. This was an excellent opportunity for him to make a sneak attack.

The ancient giant stood more than three hundred meters tall in the air, pointing to the sky. Like Situ Gang, it held a green ruler as well.

A boundless might spread out, and the sky turned leaden. Storm clouds gathered as a heavy atmosphere descended over the area.

The ancient and ponderous aura made the sky seemed solid. Clearly, Situ Gang had stored up power for a long time to make this full-power strike. He wanted to injure Xiao Chen thoroughly, so he did not hold back at all.

Situ Gang had been very ruthless in seeking his opportunity. It just so happened to be right after Xiao Chen executed the Sea of Lightning Saber Light Chop. He wanted to strike a fatal blow.

Xiao Chen’s expression turned cold, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Since the moment Situ Gang stepped into the Supreme Sky Sect, he had been seeking trouble with Xiao Chen. He had repeatedly made sneak attacks after Xiao Chen had finished a big battle.

Situ Gang was clearly a madman, having such truly despicable and vicious thoughts. Does he really think that I do not dare do anything to him or cannot do anything to him?

Since you want to play big, I will play big with you!

Xiao Chen made up his mind and circulated his Quintessence for the Dragon Subduing Slash. Then, he quickly accumulated the momentum he needed for the Return of the Azure Dragon.

Suddenly, a mysterious phenomenon appeared behind Xiao Chen. A vast and endless surging sea appeared in the sky.

A prodigious aura spread out, clashing intensely with the ancient giant’s aura.

In that instant, winds blew, clouds surged, waves roared, lightning flashed, thunder boomed in the sky, and the sky changed color.

Situ Gang merged with the image of the giant. The heavy ruler in his hand gave off a brilliant light. He grew to three hundred meters tall and revealed a sinister expression as he hacked at Xiao Chen ruthlessly.

Situ Gang’s ruler even seemed to slice the sky in half. It turned the sky in front of him chaotic and formed hurricanes moving around the area. action

If a mountain were blocking Situ Gang, his heavy ruler would definitely hack it in half.

The fame of the battle-realm geniuses’ destructive power was indeed well deserved; its might was astonishing.

However, Xiao Chen had Heaven Ranked Martial Techniques. He did not feel any fear in his heart. Gathering tremendous momentum, he shouted as he watched the approaching Situ Gang.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Nine hundred and ninety-nine pillars of water shot into the sky in the sea behind Xiao Chen. Each pillar of water contained boundless Quintessence, causing space to tremble and the world to shake.

A dragon roared amidst all this shocking aura. It reached the sky and shook the air for thousands of kilometers. When it reached the deepest depths, it caused the waters to surge.

An Azure Dragon leaped out of the sea, and Xiao Chen’s saber instantly lit up with a three-kilometer-long saber light.

“Scram!” Xiao Chen shouted coldly and swung his saber at Situ Gang from above.

The Azure Dragon circled the three-kilometer-long saber light, and clouds augmented its boundless might.

“Ka ca!”

Under the attack of this saber light, the heavy ruler in Situ Gang’s hand shattered, turning into myriad sparks of light and disappearing.

The saber light struck Situ Gang with a loud ‘bang’ and sent him flying. The ancient giant image in his body vanished like smoke, and he vomited blood.

The insufferably arrogant aura was crushed, obliterated completely.

Situ Gang flew back like a cannonball and crashed into a wall behind him. His body lay half buried in the wall with his survival uncertain.

Situ Gang had charged in with strong momentum, but Xiao Chen knocked him out with one attack. When the inner sect disciples watching saw this, they were utterly speechless and could not recover their wits for a long time.

Xiao Chen sheathed his saber and checked his Quintessence. He frowned slightly. He was still too rash. For the sake of teaching Situ Gang a lesson, he had brought out the full might of the complete Heaven Ranked Martial Technique. He did not have much Quintessence left. If another enemy appeared, he would end up exposing his final trump card.

The gaze of Gui Wu, who was hidden in the crowd, flickered. He was having an internal conflict.

Initially, Gui Wu planned to beat down on Xiao Chen after Xiao Chen finished his fight. Now, after seeing Xiao Chen’s might, he was shocked and dispirited. The situation was far from what he expected.

Gui Wu wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to attack Xiao Chen. However, he was afraid that Xiao Chen still had a trump card and that he would end up sharing Situ Gang’s fate.

However, Gui Wu did not feel satisfied with leaving just like that. If he missed this opportunity, he would no longer have a chance to defeat Xiao Chen.

“I’ll go all in. He used all his Vital Qi and repeatedly used big moves. At this moment, he should not have much Quintessence left. If I trample on him now, while his momentum is at its peak, I will definitely be able to cast an indelible shadow on his heart. After that, he will find it hard to progress in his cultivation.”

Gui Wu’s eyes turned resolute as he made up his mind. No longer hesitating, he turned into a beam of dull light and charged at Xiao Chen.
