Chapter 115: Eight-Tier Spiritual Sense Beats Ye Xuan

Subsequently, he looked at Qin Xiran: "Many powerful ones here have been poisoned by the Gu. Can you cure them?" After a brief investigation, Qin Xiran replied: "It's no big problem. Once I prepare some medicinal herbs and combine them with our sect's elixirs, it will be fine."

Bu Fengshuang suddenly said, "I suddenly feel something is wrong, very strange."

Xi nodded and said, "Me too, there is a suppressed atmosphere, but I used thirty puppets to probe and found nothing."

The two women were puzzled in their hearts. After dealing with the Human Gu and Demon Gu in their past lives, there should be no danger left. Yet now, the feeling of danger persists, which is very strange.

Li Ruoling said, "I used my flying sword to probe the sky and earth, but found nothing." The Fire Qilin also said, "I used my beast's nose to sniff, but found nothing special." The spirit body of the Spirit Life Spring released its aura: "Logically, my spirit body should be able to sense people, but I sensed nothing this time."

E Nan explained, "I can sense the aura of calamity in advance. A calamity will occur here soon."

Xu Chen frowned; the uncontrollable plot had appeared again. This was something he hadn't expected.

However, the plot hadn't just deviated a little; the uncontrollable plot today didn't surprise him too much either.

At this moment, Zhao Qingyun transmitted a sound to Xu Chen: "I can't detect it either; it's a bit eerie." Xu Chen froze; even Zhao Qingyun couldn't detect it? Zhao Qingyun said, "Wait while I deduce the heavenly secrets, but it will take time; I don't know if it will be in time. However, I do have a method to detect danger in advance; we can try it." Xu Chen asked, "What method?"

Zhao Qingyun said, "Ye Xuan has great fortune on his person; perhaps he can know." Xu Chen nodded upon hearing this: "That makes sense."

Having spoken, Xu Chen walked over to Ye Xuan's side. Ye Xuan jumped up on the spot, looking at Xu Chen with a guarded expression and a solemn face.

He had already developed a stress response from being suppressed by Xu Chen, so seeing Xu Chen now, his body immediately tensed up.

Xu Chen said calmly, "Did you feel the suppressed atmosphere around us?" Ye Xuan nodded: "I felt it; there must be a problem here." Xu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly: "Go find it."

Ye Xuan sneered: "Why should I?" Xu Chen said: "Because I am stronger than you."

Ye Xuan could no longer hold back: "Xu Chen, if you have the guts, don't let those women of yours help you; one on one." Xu Chen laughed: "Three days without a beating, and you start climbing the roof and tearing off the tiles; you think you can handle it again, huh?"

"Whoosh!" Having spoken, Xu Chen unleashed the Divine Soul-Suppressing Palm.

In an instant, a spiritual sense palm print condensed, silently and invisibly, suddenly sweeping toward Ye Xuan. Just as Ye Xuan had summoned his incomplete Emperor Sword and was preparing to unleash his newly learned martial art to clash with Xu Chen.

In an instant, the Spirit Venerable's pupils shrank slightly: "Retreat quickly." He frantically released his spiritual sense to block this Divine Soul-Suppressing Palm for Ye Xuan. Fortunately, his spiritual sense had strengthened recently; Xu Chen's palm was blocked by his soul. But at the same time, his soul suffered some loss, and even his aura weakened significantly. The Ye Xuan beside him had already been knocked flying by the invisible spiritual sense.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Xuan retreated hundreds of meters. Upon landing, Ye Xuan spat out a mouthful of blood directly, his aura flagging. He exclaimed in horror: "Your spiritual sense is actually Eighth-Rank spiritual sense?" He couldn't identify it, but the Spirit Venerable could.

His spiritual sense, with the Spirit Venerable's help, was currently only at the peak of Seventh-Rank. How could he block Eighth-Rank?

Moreover, Xu Chen had just used spiritual sense to unleash a Heaven-Grade martial art. If not for his master, he would have died just now. "What? Xu Chen has Eighth-Rank spiritual sense?"

Upon hearing this, dozens of young geniuses from surrounding sects were stunned on the spot. Damn!

In just a month and a half, Xu Chen hadn't just cultivated an Eighth-Rank physique? No wonder he crushed the Poison Master directly just now, making him vanish without a sound; so that's how it was. Damn, this Eighth-Rank spiritual sense combined with powerful martial arts is something even us Eighth-Ranks can't withstand! The most shocked was An Yan, the Saint Son of the Seven Beauties Pavilion, whose expression was extremely complex. He now saw that stars had appeared in Gongsun Liuli's eyes.

He wished he could pounce right now, but he had no way to do so. Because the Xu Chen of this moment could truly crush him with a single finger. "Three or four months ago, Xu Chen was still Fifth-Rank, and I was at the peak of Sixth-Rank."

"Now time has passed, and Xu Chen already has Eighth-Rank spiritual sense and physique, and even his realm is at the mid-stage of Seventh-Rank." "And I am only at the early stage of Seventh-Rank. How can the gap between people be so huge?" At this moment, An Yan felt numb.

Also feeling numb was the shocked Ye Xuan.

Just now, Ye Xuan was confident he could defeat Xu Chen because he had cultivated the Haoxuan Emperor Cloud Sword to the eighth layer, increasing its power drastically.

He had even cultivated not-so-ordinary movement martial arts and defensive martial arts, all of which were High-Grade Earth-Grade martial arts.

He had thought that this time he could clash with Xu Chen, even crush him. But who would have thought that Xu Chen possessed astonishing Eighth-Rank spiritual sense and Eighth-Rank physique; he had absolutely no chance to fight back.

The spiritual sense attack just now was truly terrifying.

The Spirit Venerable also reminded him at this moment: "Don't offend him now, or you will die." Ye Xuan said with a complex expression: "I know, I still need to work hard." The Spirit Venerable nodded: "Listen to him, find the hidden danger, otherwise you and I are in danger too; I have already sensed a hint."

Having spoken, Ye Xuan looked at Xu Chen: "I lost, I'll find it." Having spoken, Ye Xuan began searching for the hidden danger within this Ice Flame Valley. Xu Chen stretched and said: "You have to be beaten before you're willing to work; you're truly masochistic." Ye Xuan's mouth twitched slightly, but he dared not refute.

Soon, under the guidance of the Spirit Venerable, Ye Xuan saw some special black stones. These stones varied in size, but all shared one characteristic: they were entwined with special Gu poison.

What made them special? On these Gu poisons, there was abundant life force. This life force did not seem to belong to multiple people, but rather to one person.

It was as if one person had been split into countless parts and entered the stones. "Crack!" Just as Ye Xuan was thinking this, cracks appeared on those black stones. First one crack, then cracks spreading wildly like a spider web. "Run quickly!"

The Spirit Venerable said urgently.

Without a word, Ye Xuan's body retreated abruptly, returning to Xu Chen's side. Ye Xuan said: "It's those black stones; there is the aura of human life there, as if one person has been scattered."

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Just after speaking, the black stones on the ground cracked open one by one. Subsequently, countless black poison Gu auras were released rapidly, gradually condensing in the air.

A puppet condensed from poison Gu qi soon appeared before everyone's eyes. He radiated a black aura, and disciples from various sects who touched it died directly under this black aura.

Therefore, the rest of the people from the major sects fled frantically, hiding behind Xu Chen.

They looked at this naturally condensed puppet with horror, their bodies trembling because of it.

"This, what is going on with this puppet? Why is it different from other puppets?" Many people exclaimed one after another.

Xu Chen looked closely; the puppet had an Eighth-Rank aura and came with a puppet crystal. "Tsk, luckily that girl killed the Demon Gu and Human Gu, so part of me could emerge from their bodies."

"I originally planned to swallow you all silently, but I didn't expect you to sense it."

"Since that is the case, then you shall not leave."

"Whoosh!"

In the instant he finished speaking, his body frantically radiated an Eighth-Rank aura, surging wildly like a terrifying wave.

Even this person's spiritual sense had reached the early stage of Eighth-Rank, surpassing most people present.

"Bang!"

A Seventh-Rank expert from the Wind Sand Tower attempted to assassinate this special puppet with a flying sword.

Unexpectedly, this special puppet's physique was also incredibly strong, directly blocking and shattering the flying sword.

"What a big dog's gall."

That special puppet sneered directly, then the poison qi turned into a giant hand, grabbing that person. Before everyone's eyes, that person was swallowed directly as the puppet opened its bloody maw. In the end, not even a bone was spat out. "A Seventh-Rank has no power to resist!"

Seeing this scene, the major sects exclaimed in terror.

The strength of this special puppet far exceeded their imagination. All the puppets they had seen before, added together, were not even one-tenth of this puppet's strength. Xu Chen frowned and asked: "Who are you?"

That special puppet let out a mocking smile: "You can call me Dun, because I was born from chaos."

Countless evil consciousnesses slowly condensed into me; the Human Gu and Demon Gu were just one part. They were all my nutrients, and you all will become my nutrients next." Xu Chen asked curiously: "Why is your physique so strong, and your spiritual sense as well?"

Dun sneered: "I am the crystallization of the power of Gu masters and poison masters; my physique and spiritual sense are both extremely strong. Is there a problem with that?"

The crowd drew in a sharp breath; it was an evil entity condensed from the forces of all sides.

No wonder its power was so terrifying.

Light erupted in Xu Chen's eyes: "If your spiritual sense is shattered, will your physical body be annihilated?"

He thought that if it wouldn't be annihilated, he could obtain an eighth-rank puppet out of thin air. A naturally born evil entity puppet; wasn't that a villain's must-have?

Dun sneered, "Of course not, but we both possess eighth-rank spiritual sense. Can you kill me? Foolish."

Hearing this, Xu Chen said calmly, "Killing you is not difficult." With that, Xu Chen took a step forward, and his body shook violently.

The next second, an aura of early eighth-rank spiritual energy erupted from his body like a volcano.

The ground cracked automatically, the air exploded naturally, and those around were blasted away directly. His black hair flew, his white robes billowed, and protective aura suddenly enveloped him. Xu Chen's momentum rapidly surged to the extreme. "Eighth rank? Damn, is Xu Chen's realm also eighth rank now?"

"In just a month and a half, his realm, physical body, and spiritual sense have all reached the eighth rank. Is he human?"

"Too terrifying! This is something others cannot achieve in hundreds of years!" At this moment, the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters of every sect stood dumbfounded once more. They thought Xu Chen was still at the mid-seventh rank realm, but who would have expected him to reach the eighth rank? Damn it! Xu Chen is too monstrous.
