Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation-Novel2

Chapter 722: Fight for the True Dragon Remains

The other three had even lower cultivations compared to Hu Hai. Their situations were all the more desperate. Danger surrounded them. Like dried leaves before a strong wind, they could fall at any moment.

Shui Lingling, who was up against Bai Wuxue, wanted to help. However, she could not extract herself from her fight to do so.

Her forte was midrange or long-range engagements. If she could pull away from Bai Wuxue in a one-on-one fight, she definitely would be able to suppress him.

However, Shui Lingling currently had to contend with him in close quarters, swinging around her purple bow. She could not get free to help the others.

She was already struggling to hold her own against him.

Bai Wuxue had a relaxed expression as snow drifted around him. He stood amidst the snow and smiled faintly. “Shui Lingling, I admit that you are stronger than me. Unfortunately, your junior brothers seem to be failing you.

“I advise you to give up on this True Dragon remains to save yourself some humiliation.”

Shui Lingling felt some anger. She thought to herself, If Xiao Chen were here, I would not be in such a passive position.

Thinking of Xiao Chen, she started to blame herself. If she had not insisted on forcibly traveling through the True Dragon Storm, Xiao Chen would not have died there.

“Xiu!”

Bai Wuxue’s eyes lit up when he noticed Shui Lingling’s distraction. He instantly caught hold of that opening and pressed forward.

Snow gathered on Bai Wuxue’s palm, which appeared to turn into ice. Then he silently shoved his palm towards Shui Lingling at lightning speed. This palm strike contained an intense murderous intent.

By the time she reacted, she could no longer dodge that attack and could only take it full-on.

The cold Qi poured into Shui Lingling’s body, and her red lips became deathly pale. A faint layer of frost covered her fine black hair.

She vomited a mouthful of blood and went flying back a hundred meters. After she quickly circulated the Profound Sun Art, steam came out from her as she expelled the cold Qi in her body. Only then did she look somewhat better.

The cold storm did not stop as cold Qi spread everywhere. Bai Wuxue smiled coldly and said, “Shui Lingling, to think that you would even make such a rookie mistake. You really disappoint me.”

“Bang!”

Suddenly, a painful cry resounded below. The Supreme Sky Sect’s Jun Si finally could not endure any longer. Her opponent used his sword to knock her weapon out of her hand.

After that, Jun Si’s opponent sent her flying with a palm strike, causing her to vomit blood and turn ashen. The person who injured her laughed sinisterly, and his figure flickered, intent on delivering the final blow.

When Bai Wuxue saw this scene, he could not help but laugh loudly. Then he shouted in a cold voice, “Shui Lingling, you are already defeated. Is there even a need to continue?!”

Shui Lingling revealed reluctance on her face. However, there was no longer any chance to turn the situation around; she could only give up.

Hu Hai and the rest surely felt very depressed. After spending so much effort to get to this burial ground, they would end up obtaining nothing.

“Hu chi!” Just at this moment, a strong wind blew and curled around Jun Si’s body, then advanced towards the person who injured her.

“Boom!”

Suddenly, a thunderous explosion rang out in the cave, causing space to tremble.

That Extreme Yin Sect disciple cried out miserably, his ribs broken as he went flying back in a sorry state. Then, he crashed into the enormous True Dragon remains.

That Extreme Yin Sect disciple’s face twisted in agony. Blood flowed out of a corner of his lips like an endless spring. Deep dissatisfaction surfaced in his eyes.

The strong wind that suddenly materialized startled all the cultivators. They could not help but stop what they were doing and look over.

Gusts of wind blew continuously as Xiao Chen executed the Azure Dragon Cloud Soaring Art to its limits, appearing before everyone.

“Junior Brother Xiao Chen, you are not dead!”

Jun Si, who was in Xiao Chen’s arms, opened her eyes wide in surprise.

Xiao Chen smiled faintly and used a gentle force to set Jun Si down slowly.

Hu Hai and Chen Xiao revealed joy on their faces when they saw that Xiao Chen was alive and, furthermore, that his strength had improved greatly. He managed to injure an Extreme Yin Sect true inheritor with one strike. Their spirits rose at this moment.

Only Wang Cheng paled as he felt a splitting headache. He felt like he was in a nightmare. He muttered to himself, “How is this fellow not dead yet?”

However, Wang Cheng’s opponent did not care. He took advantage of Wang Cheng’s distraction to kick him in the face, knocking him down.

Xiao Chen gently drifted over to Shui Lingling’s side and said, “First Senior Sister, leave this person to me. You should go and finish off these bugs.”

When Shui Lingling saw that Xiao Chen was still alive, the knot in her heart came undone, and she finally revealed a smile on her cold face.

However, after hearing what Xiao Chen said, she asked somewhat worriedly, “Can you handle him?”

Xiao Chen smiled with confidence and looked at Bai Wuxue. “It would be impossible to defeat him. However, I should be able to last a hundred moves against him without breaking a sweat.”

Shui Lingling would definitely settle the problems below within a hundred moves. At that time, when everyone surrounded Bai Wuxue, he would no doubt lose.

“I believe in you!”

Shui Lingling smiled gently and flew down. Then, she drew her bow gently and forced Hu Hai’s opponent into retreat.

Bai Wuxue was expressionless as he looked coldly at Xiao Chen. He smiled with disdain and said, “I wonder what kind of fortuitous encounter you came by for you to be so confident and so reckless.”

Xiao Chen smiled gently as he held the Lunar Shadow Saber in his left hand. As he stood on the Azure Dragon image, he said calmly, “I will stand still here. Let’s see how you kill me.”

“Great Icy Cold Palm!”

The drifting snow in the air suddenly gathered together and formed a gigantic ice hand. Then, it pressed towards Xiao Chen like an ice mountain.

This move appeared out of nowhere without any warning. Furthermore, it bore an extraordinary might. It had once reduced Xiao Chen to a very miserable state.

The purple clouds crowding around Xiao Chen’s dantian scattered one by one, turning into surging Quintessence. Then, they flowed like a gushing river in his meridians.

Suddenly, Xiao Chen’s Quintessence surged, and his clothes fluttered without any wind. He had circulated all his Quintessence at this moment.

Xiao Chen focused and also gathered the immortal state of thunder and his seventy-percent-comprehended saber intent.

A saber light flashed, and a purple bolt of lightning tore through space, illuminating the dark burial grounds.

Saber intent, state, and Quintessence converged on the Lunar Shadow Saber, all coming together. They transformed into a resplendent purple saber light and surged out.

“Ka ca!”

The saber light stopped the Great Icy Cold Palm and split it into two, right down the middle. The two halves brushed past Xiao Chen’s shoulders and, with a loud ‘bang,’ shattered into ice shards that filled the cave.

The remnant electricity in the air crackled and blasted the ice shards into water droplets that splashed as they landed on the ground.

Pointing his saber at Bai Wuxue, Xiao Chen stood on the Azure Dragon image, appearing calm as a strong fighting spirit blazed within him.

On seeing his opponent break his Great Icy Cold Palm easily, Bai Wuxue was plainly surprised, his pupils constricting.

Bai Wuxue recalled that half a month ago, his Great Icy Cold Palm had left Xiao Chen in a sorry state. Xiao Chen only barely managed to block after executing his best move.

How could Xiao Chen improve so fast in such a short amount of time?

“They are fighting! They are really fighting!” exclaimed the cultivators who followed after Xiao Chen, when they saw him pointing his saber at Bai Wuxue.

This burial ground had five True Dragon remains. The most intense battle had to be the one at the central True Dragon remains, where the Thunder and Lightning Palace’s An Junxi fought against five strong Fiend Race loose cultivators.

An Junxi seemed as strong as rumors said he was. As lights flickered, he managed to easily hold his own against five strong Fiend Race loose cultivators.

He stood proudly on the True Dragon remains. Brandishing his whip, he suppressed the five Fiend Race half-Sage loose cultivators firmly, blocking them steadily.

However, An Junxi had long been famous. Although his strength was shocking, it was still within reason.

An Junxi’s fight did not hold as much attention as Xiao Chen and Bai Wuxue’s fight, which filled the crowd with anticipation. The Tianwu Domain’s seven giants had not met with a bona fide challenger for many years already.

The seven giants were respected, their fame spread far and wide. News of them was everywhere. They had stood in their positions for ten-odd years without falling, their names already imprinted deep in everybody’s hearts.

Originally, everyone saw Xiao Chen as a joke. However, no one who saw him defeat Ximen Bao, Niu Deng, and Dan Tianyu thought like that anymore.
