Chapter 534: A Birth of an Ice Intent Among the Five Clans: Have You All Forgotten the Fact That You Are Trash?

"When will Chen Yan come out of seclusion?" Jidao Wu asked.

"Old Shen, do you know when Chen Yan will come out of seclusion?"

Shen Yiwei's expression changed slightly.

"Didn't the Longevity King say that Chen Yan is not in Ji Province?"

Everyone looked at each other; regarding Chen Yan, they always felt he was mysterious.

It was at this very moment.

The Longevity King entered the tent, and everyone bowed.

"Chen Yan will not take action." As soon as the Longevity King's voice fell, everyone's expressions changed slightly.

"Why?" Zhang Ting spoke up; he did not talk much, but at this moment, he still raised the question.

The Heaven's Pride Battle Platform was opened by Chen Yan.

Now that Great Xia has fallen into a weak position, why would Chen Yan not take action?

Everyone's expressions also changed slightly.

The Longevity King shook his head slightly; he could only say this much.

He had only just learned the news himself: Chen Yan was actually an Ice Intent.

If Chen Yan was an Ice Intent, then Chen Yan would have a six-month vacuum period in the path of Horizontal Refining.

With a six-month vacuum period, Chen Yan's combat power was likely still at the level of someone who had just entered the Fifth Rank.

At a time like this, how could he fight the first echelon of the Five Clans?

But Chen Yan also could not expose his strength in the path of Blood Qi right now.

The Chen Province was still struggling to organize Creation Realm experts to enter the Jin Palace to retrieve the controlled Ice Intent.

Once Chen Yan exposed his strength in the path of Blood Qi, the Chen Lord would immediately understand.

By then, what changes would occur in the world would truly be impossible to say.

If Chen Yan were to expose his strength in the path of Blood Qi, it would at least have to be after Great Xia could participate in the Five Clans' struggle.

By then, Chen Yan could do whatever he wanted.

But for now, it was not possible.

Chen Yan had not yet declared war on the Five Clans.

Seeing that the Longevity King was unwilling to explain.

Zhang Ting stood up.

"I will go challenge Ji Chuxi now; as for Lu Mingyuan, I will leave him to Liu Xuan."

The others sighed inwardly; Zhang Ting had a high probability of defeating Ji Chuxi.

But whether Liu Xuan could handle Lu Mingyuan was truly hard to say.

If Great Xia could not win this battle, it would have a certain impact on the morale of the army.

Zhang Ting walked to the front of the tent and spoke.

"Longevity King, I still don't know what Chen Yan is doing, and why he suddenly disappeared after arriving in Ji Province."

Everyone looked at the Longevity King, all filled with curiosity at this moment.

The Longevity King shook his head slightly; Zhang Ting narrowed his eyes and left directly.

Princess Shao'an and the others hurriedly followed.

After everyone had left, Shen Yiwei came before the Longevity King with an ugly expression.

"Does Chen Yan have a six-month vacuum period in the path of Horizontal Refining?"

The Longevity King's expression stiffened as he looked at Shen Yiwei.

"Chen Yan is the Heaven's Pride I discovered; how could I not understand him?" Shen Yiwei frowned and said.

"If it were Chen Yan, he would prefer to improve through battle rather than staying in seclusion the whole time."

The Longevity King's brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

Shen Yiwei must have guessed that Chen Yan was an Ice Intent.

Shen Yiwei asked again.

"I only want to know one thing: is Chen Yan still in danger?

I don't care if he is a Divine General; I only know that it was I, Shen Yiwei, who invited him to join the New Dragon Guard."

"No," the Longevity King said.

Shen Yiwei let out a sigh of relief and nodded.

"If Zhang Ting or Liu Xuan loses, I will challenge Chi Yuexi again. I will use my life to fight; at the very least, don't let Great Xia be looked down upon by the Five Clans."

Shen Yiwei left directly.

He was a proud man.

In the past, he was proud because he was a disciple of Lu Xunyang.

Now, he was proud because he was Shen Yixi.

This was also the reason why, even though Chi Yuexi's challenge to Shen Yiwei did not conform to the rules—after all, Shen Yiwei had only just entered the Creation Realm—Shen Yiwei still accepted.

…………

At the same time.

Outside Moshan Pass, inside a mechanical castle standing on a barren mountain not far away.

"If not for the fact that Chen Hong and Chen Yunyou are already dead, why would my Chen Clan fall into such a state!"

"Chen Muyang was originally in the second echelon, but because too many in the first echelon died, he actually became the first echelon and became the number one genius of my Chen Clan!"

"Damn it, losing to Princess Shao'an of Great Xia is truly disheartening. Not to mention Chen Yunyou, if Chen Hong were here, he wouldn't have lost!"

Sounds of low cursing rang out.

Inside the Mechanical Castle, many of the Chen Clan were feeling irritable; the Chen Clan had actually lost.

This was the most distressing thing.

A youth with short red hair flew out from within the castle and roared at the entire castle:

"You all keep blaming me, Chen Muyang. If you can do it, go up yourselves! I, Chen Muyang, was originally the third prodigy of the Chen Clan; it's all because Bing Yi killed Chen Hong and Chen Yunyou one after another!"

The red-haired youth was indeed Chen Muyang, and he felt aggrieved as well.

He wasn't in the first echelon of the Five Clans Ranking because he fought his way there, but because too many people ahead of him died, and he moved up on his own.

Aggrieved, furious.

He lost to Shao An, and he felt terrible too.

"Are you all dying for me to go fight Chen Yan?" Chen Muyang cursed aloud, and the Chen Clan members inside the castle all wore strange expressions.

Chen Muyang sneered:

"Fight my ass, would someone like him even look at me?

You all think I can fight this one and that one, am I not tired!"

"That's right, I am looking at you."

A cold voice came from behind Chen Muyang.

Chen Muyang took a deep breath, turned around instantly, and roared:

"Get lost!!!"

Boom.

A side kick struck instantly; it was merely a leg shadow overflowing with golden light, yet it felt like a mountain crashing into Chen Muyang's waist.

Chen Muyang's spine emitted a teeth-grinding cracking sound, and before his vision was stained by blood, he saw the person who had attacked him in an instant.

The moment he locked eyes with that person.

Terror, an indescribable terror, slammed into Chen Muyang's heart.

He hadn't even managed to scream yet.

His entire body was kicked flying directly away.

Everyone on the castle was stunned for a moment, staring fixedly at the youth wearing a cyan windbreaker; some felt dizzy.

"What trash the Chen Clan is." Chen Yan spoke indifferently, arriving before his younger sister, who had her red lips slightly parted:

"Let's go, next one."

"Mm... mm." Chen Yu spoke in a daze.

And after Chen Yan left, a scream-like cry of shock came from atop the castle:

"It's Chen Yan!!!"

"How did he appear here!"

"He only brought one person, how could he dare?"

"There must be an Eighth Rank following him, what is he trying to do?"

Sounds of panic and confusion rang out; inside the castle, Chen Clan members followed after Chen Yan.

At this moment, the Blood Sword Saint high in the sky was stunned; he hurriedly connected the communication to Xia Hanzhou.

"What is it?" Xia Hanzhou asked.

"Chen Yan... Chen Yan went to crash the venue!"

"Which martial arts hall?"

"The Five Clans!"

"What?!"

…………

At the same time.

Several hundred kilometers away from the Chen Province castle.

Inside a sky-floating pleasure boat.

The glazed roof of the pleasure boat refracted the glow of the blood moon, and Chi Yuexi's scabbard cast a long, thin shadow on the eaves of the boat.

Chi Yuexi sat alone in meditation on the top floor of the cabin, while a group of Chi Clan prodigies chatted on the deck below.

"It seems the Great Xia's time is truly up. Currently, of us five Chi Clan prodigies, three won and two lost."

"If not for the sudden rise of Shen Yiwei, the Great Xia wouldn't even be able to gather enough people."

"One Chen Yan gave them too much hope, but after so many days, Chen Yan hasn't even reached the Sixth Rank."

The group of Chi Province prodigies were very relaxed.

The weaker the Great Xia appeared, the higher the chance of victory for the Five Clans in the future war.

A Chi Province prodigy asked:

"Miss Yuexi, the world compares Chen Yan and Bing Yi, what do you think?"

Chi Yuexi above slowly opened her eyes:

"Bing Yi gives me a sense of absolute invincibility; the other party has been taken to the Ten Thousand Appearances Tower by an Ancient God Beast for so long, and still hasn't died."

Chi Yuexi sighed.

Chen Yan is indeed a monster, but how can he compare to Bing Yi?

Just on the count of fighting the Malice Rule, Chen Yan cannot compare.

"I still feel that Bing Yi might be able to rush out of the Ten Thousand Appearances Tower; once he appears, he will be an existence even harder for me to defeat."

Chi Yuexi sighed:

"As for Chen Yan, I have seen him with my own eyes, but his level of monstrous talent certainly cannot compare to Bing Yi's."

Chi Yuexi shook her head slightly; Bing Yi was simply an unkillable demon king.

As for Chen Yan, the Great Xia has praised him a bit too highly.

Only those who have seen Bing Yi with their own eyes would know just how powerful Bing Yi is.

It was also at this moment.

Chi Yuexi narrowed her eyes and looked far into the distance.

Boom!

The sound of a fighter jet tearing through the void exploded; it was a ball of light like a scorching sun flying toward her.

A rolling sense of oppression radiated from that golden sun, pushing the void into circular waves.

In an instant.

Chi Xun appeared beside Chi Yuexi, but immediately after, Chi Xun's expression trembled.

Many of the Chi Province prodigies also looked over, some raising their arms to shield their sight.

Feeling the rapidly approaching golden light, their faces were filled with horror.

"Enemy attack!"

A prodigy exclaimed.

Yet Chi Yuexi drew her long sword, narrowed her eyes, and looked at that face.

Great Xia, Chen Yan!

"Chen Yan, what are you doing?" Chi Yuexi shouted in a low voice.

"I have come to battle the number one of Chi Province!" A grand and cold voice resounded in Chi Yuexi's ears, sounding like a verdict, carrying terrifying majesty, suppressing her in an instant.

"Do you think I am easy to bully?!" Chi Yuexi gritted her teeth, and the next moment, she lunged out.

Chen Yan was too arrogant!

Without even arranging a duel, he came directly, assuming she, Chi Yuexi, could not beat him?

Damn it.

Do you think you are Bing Yi?

Even Bing Yi only defeated her after reaching the Sixth Rank.

Chen Yan is only Fifth Rank!

Chi Yuexi did not believe at all that Chen Yan could be mentioned in the same breath as Bing Yi.

Thus, she moved!

As she lunged, Chi Yuexi pointed her sword at the firmament, using Qi to control the blade, and swung out a sharp sword shadow.

In an instant, ten thousand strands of sword soul condensed into a white lotus, glowing with mist.

Within the heart of the lotus, red flames and profound ice, two types of blood Qi, swirled and interacted in a momentary sword strike.

Chi Yuexi did not want to give Chen Yan any chance; as she swung her sword, she merged into the sword light herself, intending to suppress Chen Yan in one strike.

What was she worried about?

Before coming to Ji Province, she had also fought against the Chen Yan replicas provided by the Chen Clan.

Compared to Chen Yan's understanding of her, she understood Chen Yan even better.

Yet it was also at this moment.

Countless sword soul white lotuses enveloped Chen Yan, exploding into a white lotus whirlwind in the void.

But the youth dressed in green stood within the whirlwind, his expression calm.

"Arrogant!"

Chi Yuexi shouted inwardly, aiming for Chen Yan's blind spot, and pressed down with her sword.

This sword strike was earth-shattering, the ice and fire blood Qi erupting to its absolute limit in an instant.

It was also at this moment.

Hum!

The body of the youth dressed in green suddenly erupted with a phantom image, his own aura seemingly hiding away in an instant.

Chi Yuexi's expression trembled, and the next moment.

The youth gripped the air with one hand, and a white jade light wheel spun violently in his hand.

Hum!

The ear-piercing hum seemed to want to tear everyone's eardrums.

Chi Yuexi, however, wore a sneer; she did not fear the 【Heaven-Splitting Style】 executed by a Fifth Rank peak expert.

She slashed her sword toward Chen Yan's neck, but suddenly felt Chen Yan's aura disappear again.

Chi Yuexi opened her eyes wide.

An array!

An array that could hide one's aura.

And also...

High-speed displacement!

Hum!

Chen Yan had appeared on Chi Yuexi's left side before anyone knew it, and the 【Heaven-Splitting Style】 in his hand was thrown out in an instant.

Chi Yuexi drew her sword to block.

Chi chi chi!!!

The white jade light wheel collided with the sword body, sparking a series of flashes.

Chi Yuexi formed seals with both hands, preparing to unleash her sword technique once more, but Chen Yan's right leg had already crashed down with a boom.

The moment Chen Yan raised his leg, the clouds for ten miles around suddenly froze; Chi Yuexi realized with a start that she felt like an insect encased in amber.

Domain Realm, open!

A terrifying pressure of will slammed down in an instant, a pressure surpassing even the time Chen Yan crossed the malicious rules.

This was the moment before a Master of Will was about to pioneer a breakthrough...

The strongest will!

Its terrifying intensity was unimaginable; the moment it struck, a sharp pain like ten thousand blades piercing her mind assaulted her, and Chi Yuexi opened her mouth wide, unable to even let out a scream.

Bang!

The chopping strike of Chen Yan's leg had already hit Chi Yuexi's shoulder, blasting her down to the earth.

Rumble!!!

The mountain below collapsed instantly, and circular cracks in the earth erupted in rings.

This battle occurred in only a single instant.

Under the incredulous gazes of the Chi Province prodigies, Chen Yan turned and left.

Chi Yuexi, defeated!

Behind him, Chen Yu looked at her returning brother, somewhat dazed.

Behind them, those late-arriving Chen Province prodigies flew over.

They had only just arrived, but the battle between Chen Yan and Chi Yuexi had already ended.

"Chen Yan!!!"

On the ground, Chi Yuexi's sword was buried deep into the rock strata, the hair ribbon wrapped around the hilt soaked through with blood.

Her eyes were filled with disbelief, and she shrieked:

"What level has your path of will reached?!"

Chi Yuexi's expression was pained; when she fought Bing Yi, Bing Yi had never suppressed her with such will.

But Chen Yan's will...

This sense of oppression was like the collapse of the primordial iron firmament, or the crumbling of one hundred thousand Mount Sumerus.

The moment it crashed down, Chi Yuexi's power of will was instantly extinguished, and what terrified her was that even the slightest thought of resistance seemed to have been crushed in an instant.

This was Chen Yan.

This was the Great Xia Divine General; no wonder he dared to fight her while only at the Fifth Rank.

High above the sky, Chen Yan looked at Chi Yuexi:

"The Five Clans birthed one Bing Yi, has that made you all forget the fact that you are trash?"

As his voice fell, the people of Chen Province and Chi Province all looked incredibly ugly.

The late-arriving Chen Qi of Chen Province watched Chen Yan from afar, his gaze complex.

But soon, he noticed the gaze of two figures.

One not far away was the Blood Sword Saint, and the other was...

Xia Hanzhou, standing at Mo Mountain Pass!

Chen Qi closed his eyes.

This was Chen Yan, the Chen Clan prodigy he had missed out on.

Below, Chi Yuexi was dazed.

She slumped on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Are we... going to the next one?" Chen Yu asked; at this moment, she had personally felt the absolute suppression of her own brother.

This was different from watching the images projected on the screen.

"We're going to the Lu Clan." Chen Yan smiled as he looked at his sister:

"Do you dare to go?"

Chen Yu hugged Chen Yan's arm, revealing a proud smile, and nodded quickly:

"Mm-hmm."

Everyone's gaze shifted from Chen Yan to Chen Yu.

Chen Qi's expression trembled.

This is Chen Yan's sister?

How old?

A fifteen-year-old at the peak of the Fifth Rank in the path of telekinesis?

Chen Qi was also dazed.

Had he seen wrong?

Is this not Chen Yu?

Chi Xun also widened his eyes instantly, filled with astonishment, and hurriedly sent a message to Xia Hanzhou.

Then he received a fact that broke his heart.

This pair of siblings..., they were heaven-defying!

"Chen Qi, you damn bastard!" Chi Xun cursed aloud, feeling as if the whole damn world had turned upside down.

At the same time.

In a distant place.

Above the clouds, a golden palace sat atop a golden lion treading through the void.

Inside the cultivation room, Lu Jianxia sat cross-legged on a mysterious jade cushion, her ink-black hair cascading over her shoulders like moonlight. Her eyelashes were adorned with fine golden lightning, and lightning patterns flickered around her body.

Lu Jianxia, who was still cultivating, received a voice transmission, and a pair of silver eyes instantly snapped open.

"Chen Yan has appeared and is currently rushing toward your location."

This was Chi Xun's voice.

Lu Jianxia's body stiffened slightly.

"He..."

"He intends to battle the number one prodigy of every race!"
