Chapter 124

"That sword strike of yours is unremarkable; it merely reaches the level of a Heaven-Grade Low-Rank Martial Art."

"If that is all you have, then you are truly disappointing me."

Xu Chen looked at Ye Xuan and said calmly.

Ye Xuan took a deep breath: "In that case, I will let you see my true strength."

Having spoken, the power of Ye Xuan's incomplete Emperor Sword instantly surged, and a pale white flame even appeared upon it.

As this flame emerged, the temperature of the heavens and earth seemed to drop slightly all at once.

Many people cried out in shock: "This is... one of the legendary Strange Flames, the White Profound Heaven Fire!"

"It is said that when this flame is integrated into the body or a weapon, it can cause the power of a Martial Art to explode."

"I never expected that Ye Xuan would have such an opportunity; it is truly enviable."

Xu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. The White Profound Heaven Fire, was it?

In his previous life, this was indeed one of Ye Xuan's opportunities, so he was not surprised.

Ye Xuan's expression turned cold: "Next, with the support of the White Profound Heaven Fire, the Haoxuan Emperor Cloud Sword becomes a true Heaven-Grade High-Rank Martial Art."

Having spoken, Ye Xuan swung his sword and slashed fiercely at Xu Chen.

In an instant, the heavens and earth changed color, dark clouds roared, and space shattered.

A sharp and ruthless sword of spiritual energy appeared once more, heading straight for Xu Chen.

Faintly, this sword strike was comparable to a Heaven-Grade High-Rank Martial Art.

However, this time, Xu Chen did not intend to use the Divine Soul-Suppressing Palm.

He directly activated the protective aura of the Eternal Saint Body, intending to meet the attack with this aura.

Because the Eternal Saint Body is a Heaven-Grade High-Rank Martial Art, against an equal Martial Art, the Eternal Saint Body can reflect one hundred percent of the force.

"Bang!"

In the shocked gaze of the crowd, the protective aura and the Haoxuan Emperor Cloud Sword enhanced by the Strange Flame collided with a tremendous crash.

In the blink of an eye, the fluctuating spiritual energy waves of the two clashed, suddenly sweeping outward from the point of impact and agitating the space.

When the sword energy touched the protective aura, the force was instantly reduced by half.

Subsequently, the one hundred percent flame-enhanced Haoxuan Emperor Cloud Sword was directly reflected by Xu Chen, heading straight for Ye Xuan.

"Damn it, you can even reflect a force comparable to a Heaven-Grade High-Rank Martial Art?"

Seeing this, Ye Xuan's face changed drastically.

He hurriedly swung his long sword again, chopping fiercely at this reflected strike.

However, in the instant he swung his long sword, Xu Chen seized this opening and appeared behind Ye Xuan.

"The moment you drew your sword, it meant you had already lost."

Having spoken, Xu Chen's Phantom Sky Wind Hand suddenly manifested six afterimages and struck Ye Xuan's back directly.

"Pfft!"

Ye Xuan instantly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body plummeted violently downward.

However, because of the protection of the Spirit Venerable, Ye Xuan did not fall as defenseless as Feng Qianling had.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a pale face: "You have won again."

Xu Chen's gaze was disdainful: "After you finish killing the puppets, be sensible."

Ye Xuan gritted his teeth and dared not speak further.

Xu Chen was not afraid of Ye Xuan reneging, after all, he could beat Ye Xuan up at any time.

The crowd watched this scene and felt they were about to go mad again.

A Heaven-Grade High-Rank Martial Art, and in front of Xu Chen's protective aura, it was completely useless?

Damn! Completely useless, a Heaven-Grade High-Rank one at that.

If it had been even a little bit useful, they would not be so shocked.

But the key point is, it was useless!

Xu Chen's protective aura is too terrifying.

At this moment, Xu Chen turned his head and looked at the poison puppets still fighting.

Brilliant light flashed in his eyes: "After smashing the puppets, remember not to destroy the puppet crystals, especially the Grade Eight ones; they are useful."

The women nodded: "Be careful, naturally we won't."

As for the other grades...

"Whoosh!"

Having spoken, Xu Chen led the women straight toward those puppets.

Xu Chen's main focus was on those thirty complete-form puppets.

"Xu Chen, do not be arrogant; there are still puppets here comparable to the late stage of Grade Eight."

"Such puppets are not ones you can defeat."

At this time, people from the Ten Thousand Insects Sect and the Five Poisons Sect, though their forms were invisible, spoke out.

Xu Chen said coldly: "Naturally, I do not need to worry about the Grade Eight Perfection ones, but you should worry about yourselves." The elders of those two sects sneered: "Since we dared to hide our forms, naturally we can prevent you from knowing." Xu Chen immediately looked at the women: "Who can find them?"

Bu Fengshuang, Yi Bingrou, and Yin Suyun stepped forward immediately: "I can!" Xu Chen nodded: "Leave it to you; I will go hunt those poison puppets."

Having spoken, Xu Chen released the Puppet Chaos and began hunting the complete-form poison puppets alongside it.

At the same time, the experts of various sects and schools were also acting. "Boom!"

Xu Chen punched the head of a Grade Eight early-stage puppet, smashing it directly to pieces.

Even so, the puppet did not die.

Seeing this, Xu Chen said nothing more and passed directly through the puppet's heart, finding the puppet crystal.

He wrapped the puppet crystal with spiritual energy, then yanked it straight out of the puppet's body.

In an instant, the gu-poison puppet became scrap, crashing to the ground with a loud bang.

He repeated the process, crushing and exploding puppets whether they were at the early or mid stage of the eighth rank.

Soon, Xu Chen's storage ring was already piled with twenty puppet crystals.

Of the remaining ten eighth-rank crystals, five had shattered.

The remaining five consisted of three late-stage eighth-rank puppets and two perfect eighth-rank puppets.

These five puppets were currently trading blows evenly with the top-tier eighth-rank experts from the various sects. "This time, Xu Chen surely won't dare to kill the remaining five puppets." At that moment, both enemies and allies thought the same.

Xu Chen scanned them; these puppets possessed top-tier eighth-rank physical bodies and top-tier eighth-rank spiritual energy.

But their flaw was that they knew no martial arts.

Then his spiritual energy, amplified by a Heaven-grade 497 martial arts boost, could rival even a late-stage eighth-ranker. "Whoosh!"

Xu Chen arrived before a late-stage eighth-rank puppet, which was being fought by Liang Qing of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Liang Qing was stunned: "Xu Chen, what are you doing?" Xu Chen smiled lightly: "Of course, to blow up the puppet." Liang Qing was baffled: "His realm is higher than yours."

Xu Chen said calmly: "I am not incapable of fighting across realms, and this is merely a puppet." If it were a person, Xu Chen would still be wary.

A puppet that knows no martial arts?

Need to worry?"Whoosh!"

As he spoke, Xu Chen, with protective aura surrounding his body, had already reached the side of that puppet.

The Phantom Sky Wind Hand, combined with the protective aura, slammed directly onto the puppet.

Since he feared no gu poison, Xu Chen still chose to clash with his physical body.

"Bang!"

The next second, everyone watched in bafflement as Xu Chen smashed even a late-stage eighth-rank puppet with a single palm strike.

"Damn it!"

At this moment, Liang Qing and other great experts, along with elders from the Ten Thousand Gu Sect and Five Poisons Sect, could not help but curse.

Smashing a late-stage eighth-rank physical body with a single palm strike; this was ridiculously overpowered.

Then, under the baffled gazes of the crowd, Xu Chen directly extracted the twenty-first puppet crystal.

Xu Chen turned to look at Liang Qing: "Sect Master Liang, what are you staring at? Continue."

Liang Qing's expression was complex; perhaps he should just hand everything over to him.

He had just fought for two quarters of an hour, only for Xu Chen to turn around and blast it apart with one palm.

He felt utterly useless!

He truly wasn't joking; Xu Chen was really outrageous!

Speechless, he followed behind Xu Chen, continuing to slaughter the puppets.

Soon, Xu Chen's puppet crystals increased to twenty-three, equivalent to gaining a hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones out of thin air.
