Chapter 185: Lu Xunyang

Chen Teng is dead!

Chen Yan grabbed with one hand, and Chen Teng's Space Ring was stowed into his pocket.

All around, the Huo Hai that had retreated due to the battle surged back once more.

Boom!

Chen Yan's internal strength circulated, and as the particles in his body vibrated, waves of heroic golden Qi exploded outward, shielding his body like a layer of golden armor.

Afterward, he swam toward the Lake Shore.

As Chen Yan swam further toward the shore, rolling waves of Malice emitted by the Pseudo Ancient Divine Beasts within the surrounding Stone Houses assailed him.

Unlike at the beginning, these waves of Malice actually penetrated the Stone Houses, continuously gathering toward and enveloping Chen Yan.

In fact, this change had already begun three days ago.

But because Chen Yan had been deep within the Lake Heart, that dilapidated Xiao Yuan must have possessed some kind of powerful isolation ability, preventing this Malice from affecting Chen Yan.

Now.

Although all the surviving Pseudo Ancient Divine Beasts within the entire Yanyang Liechi were jointly unleashing Malice upon Chen Yan.

Yet, now that Chen Yan had suddenly awakened something within himself, he could turn a blind eye to this massive Malice.

Chen Yan's expression was calm, but he was constantly pondering in his heart.

Even though Illusion Realms were continuously entering the depths of Chen Yan's brain.

Chen Yan could still clearly perceive the difference between reality and the Illusion Realm.

The next moment.

Chen Yan no longer continued to resist this Malice, allowing the Illusion Realm to enter the depths of his brain.

Chen Yan pondered that when Xia Hanzhou created this Trial Ground, he must have had his own ideas.

This could be seen from the existence of the Blazing Sun Tree Pattern and the Blazing Sun Fertilizer.

Chen Yan had never seen such things before.

Clearly, every piece of Blazing Sun Fertilizer contained powerful Qi Blood Energy, but without the existence of the Blazing Sun Tree Pattern, an ordinary person could not absorb it at all.

Inside the Illusion Realm.

That Woman named Chi Mi, who killed Shen Keqing, could erupt with powerful ice and fire energy from her body.

Chen Yan had felt it extremely clearly before; the fire energy that Chi Mi erupted with seemed to share some of the same characteristics as the Blazing Sun Fertilizer.

That Illusion Realm, which appeared to only be confusing the masses, might have other functions.

As the Malice continuously poured into the depths of Chen Yan's brain.

Xia Hanzhou's voice resounded in Chen Yan's brain once again.

"Shen Keqing... Keqing..."

Xia Hanzhou held the already dead Shen Keqing, his eyes surging with Anger and despair.

He stared fixedly ahead.

Dressed in a White Skirt, Chi Mi was extremely beautiful; she stood there just like that, her Mu Guang indifferent, the Long Sword in her hand dripping with blood.

"Chi Mi, you will die today!"

Xia Hanzhou roared, a Spear Intent sufficient to scorch the Heaven erupting, the Spear sweeping horizontally as he charged to kill Chi Mi.

The next instant, ice and fire surged and intertwined upon the Long Sword in Chi Mi's hand.

As the Long Sword thrust out, a massive Ice Fire World suddenly pushed horizontally toward Xia Hanzhou.

Between Heaven and Earth, ice and fire rolled, and the Spear Intent was murderous.

Chen Yan substituted himself into Xia Hanzhou's body, once again engaging in battle with Chi Mi.

Boom, boom, boom!

Bursts of ice and fire exploded from Xia Hanzhou's body, and Blood Traces erupted all over Xia Hanzhou.

Even though Xia Hanzhou was already extremely powerful, when facing Chi Mi, he was still heavily suppressed.

This was what Chen Yan had experienced before.

It seemed there was no change.

The battle continued.

Xia Hanzhou's body was bombarded by both ice and fire, and it actually showed signs of collapsing.

Chen Yan felt it carefully; the fire that Chi Mi erupted with indeed had a trace of similarity to the Blazing Sun Fertilizer.

Until a certain moment, Xia Hanzhou's left arm was severed by Chi Mi.

Xia Hanzhou's body was knocked back.

Chen Yan was suddenly startled.

Not right!

Something is not right!

His expression became exceptionally serious; Xia Hanzhou was currently severely injured, and if Chi Mi were to continue attacking now, it would be a dire crisis.

And it was indeed as Chen Yan thought; the moment Xia Hanzhou's arm was severed, Chi Mi attacked with a sword.

But at this very instant, Chi Mi's sword seemed to pause for a split second, and then it thrust into Xia Hanzhou's Chest.

Not right.

Chen Yan keenly sensed a trace of strangeness.

Carrying a sense of surprise, Chen Yan prepared to exit the Illusion Realm.

After all, in the previous few times, the Illusion Realm had come to an abrupt end here.

But the next moment, Chen Yan felt strange.

This time, the duration of the Illusion Realm seemed to have been extended.

Immediately following, Xia Hanzhou collapsed onto the earth, on the verge of death.

The ice and fire surrounding Chi Mi vanished, her Mu Guang indifferent and devoid of any emotion:

"Xia Hanzhou, you are truly too weak."

As Chi Mi spoke, she walked over slowly, holding her sword:

"You are too weak, so you cannot protect the person you love most; you deserve to die."

She said this quietly, arriving before Xia Hanzhou.

A wave of pressure shrouded Xia Hanzhou, and in the next instant, a sword strike slashed toward Xia Hanzhou's neck.

It was at this very moment.

Buzz!

Above the Sky, which had been churned into chaos by this battle, a surge of Golden Light suddenly poured down; the firmament for hundreds of miles was occupied by this Golden Light, incomparably blinding.

That Golden Light arrived in an instant, landing between Chi Mi and Xia Hanzhou.

Immediately following, the Golden Light dissipated.

It was a Youth wearing green robes with White Hair.

The Youth's features were not handsome, but his facial features were distinct, his contours as sharp as if carved by a Knife.

Just the moment he arrived, an indescribable majesty spread outward, as if this piece of Heaven and Earth were being suppressed by him.

"Lu Xunyang..." Chi Mi's Mu Jin flickered.

The next moment, the White-Haired Youth named Lu Xunyang swung a palm, and a wave of Golden Light slammed into Chi Mi's body.

Chi Mi was instantly sent flying, her body retreating thousands of meters.

And it was at this time.

Waves of powerful Aura spilled out from behind Chi Mi; a handsome Youth wearing a Red Robe suddenly appeared behind Chi Mi, pushing out a palm slowly to steady Chi Mi's body.

And behind Xia Hanzhou, there were also waves of terrifying Aura erupting; soldiers wearing Golden Armor stood upon the Sky, majestic to the extreme.

"Big... Brother!" Seeing Lu Xunyang arrive, Xia Hanzhou shouted in a Stun.

"Scram." Lu Xunyang waved a single hand, striking out with a wave of Golden Light; Xia Hanzhou's body instantly sank into the earth, his expression incomparably pained.

Lu Xunyang's expression was cold; he swept a glance at the Corpse of Shen Keqing to the side and shouted in a low voice:

"Unable to even protect your own woman, you bring me Disappointment."

Xia Hanzhou's expression became even more strained.

In the distance.

Beside Chi Mi, the Red Robe Youth stepped out.

"Lu Xunyang!" The Red Robe Youth narrowed his eyes, looking at Lu Xunyang indifferently:

"The battle between Xia Hanzhou and Chi Mi was a matter tacitly agreed upon by the Xia Clan and the Chi Family; they didn't participate, yet you dare to intervene!"

Lu Xunyang's expression was calm:

"Chen He..., the battle between the Xia Clan and the Chi Family, what does that have to do with your Chen Clan?"

The Red Robe Youth named Chen He said indifferently:

"Chi Mi is my fiancée; it is only right and proper for me to come and assist her."

Lu Xunyang laughed: "But why are you fighting on my turf?"

Chen He shouted in a low voice:

"This place, where is it your turf!"

The White-Haired Youth wearing green robes suddenly raised his body and spread his Arms, a powerful momentum erupting instantly.

Waves of air surged, making everyone feel incomparably wary.

"The place where I am is my turf."

He looked over indifferently:

"Understand?"

…………

The Illusion Realm ended.

Chen Yan had already swum out of the Yanyang Liechi.

This time, the Illusion Realm had actually displayed the entire process of events directly into the Depth of his Brain.

This time, he felt it incomparably clearly.

That Blazing Sun Fertilizer and the Ice Fire Qi Blood erupted by Chi Mi should be things of the same origin.

It appeared to be Elemental Energy, but Chen Yan had not felt a trace of Element fluctuation at all.

A very strange kind of thing!

Chen Yan thought, gradually understanding what that was.

Bloodline Awakening!

Chen Yan's Mu Jin flickered.

There are four types of Qi Blood Awakening: External Awakening, True Source Awakening, Bloodline Awakening, and the rarest, Limit-Breaking Awakening.

Every Awakening creates a different kind of martial artist's Blood Qi.

The Ice Fire Qi Blood that Chi Mi erupted did not contain Elemental Energy, but it carried a strange lethality.

This kind of Blood Qi is, with high probability, unique to the Chi Family.

Chi Mi, Chi Lao...

Chen Yan whispered; the Executor title of Chi Lao in the Tianbei Fist Tournament is Fire Executor!

It seems that within the bloodline of the Chi Family itself, it already contains this kind of powerful Blood Qi.

Is the Chi Family one of the Five Clans?

Chen Yan's expression changed slightly; the Blazing Sun Tree Pattern created by Xia Hanzhou could absorb the Chi Family's flame SoulRefining!

This...

Thinking of this, Chen Yan felt a chill rising up his back.

What does that Xia Hanzhou want to do?

Destroy the Chi Family?

Or is it just to kill Chi Mi?

To want to create a top Heavenly Pride that perfectly counters the Chi Family Bloodline?

Is that it?

Chen Yan recalled the scene within the Illusion Realm earlier, but felt there were strange aspects to it.

Also, since Shen Keqing had already been killed by Chi Mi.

Why would Chi Lao have him come to the Tianjiao Trial to find a Woman named Shen Keqing?

Chen Yan pondered, yet the speed of his Foot kept increasing.

Rushing toward the North.

…………

At the same time.

The cold Wind howled, and countless Ice Crystal shards made the entire earth become blurred.

An ordinary person in this environment would likely be shattered by the cold Wind immediately.

Even a third-rank martial artist, within this cold Wind, would find it difficult to use Perception to sense things beyond ten meters of the Outer Realm.

Rumble!

The sound of what seemed like a Mountain rubbing against the ground rang out incessantly; amidst the endless cold Wind, a Castle made of Ice Crystal spanned the Ice Surface, shifting thousands of meters across.
