“Zhu Que? Humph!”

Ghost Saint Feng Jingyun snorted coldly. In the next instant, he didn’t say anything else as he charged towards the mysterious Zhu Que. As for Sword Saint Seven Steps One Kill and the others, they attacked Xiao Chen again.

In the clouds and winds, a fierce battle broke out again, cold winds blew, rocks scattered everywhere, and the battle of the strong was about to erupt!

On the other side, Qianyu Nichang was stuck with Xiao Meng’er and his senior apprentice-brother. For a time, the battle was filled with gloomy clouds and thick smoke.

Although she had noticed the sudden arrival of the mysterious Zhu Que, she did not dare to be distracted. As she concentrated, she poured out Xuan Qing’s Dao Art and her entire body instantly shrouded in a brilliant light, as if Fairy was in the dust.

Liu Wuxin did not expect that this woman from Xuanqing Sect’s Dao Art was so high. She was not inferior to Junior Sister in the slightest. For a time, she did not dare to underestimate her opponent carelessly. She could only find the gap between her opponent’s attacks. Then, she used a series of fierce moves in her hand.

“Lotus Blossom Formation Cover!”

Xiao Meng’er swept his whisk through the air, and the lotus platform beneath his feet immediately bloomed with a brilliant light, enveloping his entire body. Even though Qianyu Nichang’s sword strike was cold and ruthless, it was still difficult to shake his body.

“Miles of smoke marks!”

Qianyu Nichang’s gaze was cold. He slashed out with his sword. Qiushui hadn’t unsheathed yet, but the might of his sword had the power to shake the nine heavens and seize the stars and moon!

Even the people in the distance were shocked.

Looking at the other side, the siblings from Jiuyou Clan were also concerned with Zhen. King Qinguang, the Longevity Sword Master, the Wild King of the Snow Region, and the others had already started to fight. For a time, the entire eighth level of the sky was filled with surging winds and clouds. The Battle of the Strong shook the heavens and the earth.

The “cold sun” in the sky hadn’t changed at all. It was like the eyes of the ancient gods, staring down at the crowd below.

“Boom!”

Another loud explosion rang out. Dust filled the sky and sword lights flew up. The Sword Saint and Blood Saint attacked together. Xiao Chen wanted to forcefully break through the attacks of the two of them. He slashed out with his sword, causing the heavens and earth to be destroyed. As for himself, he was constantly pushed back by this force, crushing the boulders beneath his feet.

At this moment, a hand pressed down on his shoulder from behind. It was Zhu Que who appeared behind him at some unknown time. He pressed down on his shoulder and shook his head. His attack was too fierce, but it was not suitable for today’s battle.

The moment Xiao Chen turned around, for some unknown reason, he felt that he had somewhat deja vu. Why were his eyes so familiar under this ice-cold mask? The Zhu Que in front of him was different from the sickly Acheron Valley and Qilin that had appeared in Black Tortoise back then …

“Who are you?”

He asked out his doubts, but at this moment, the Ghost Saint suddenly sneaked up, the cold wind whispering, and all ghosts howling!

“Watch out.”

Zhu Que’s expression was calm and composed. He pulled him back with his left hand and pushed out with his right hand. His palm force was like a flood. With a “boom”, it collided with the Ghost Saint’s fierce attack and instantly lifted up tens of thousands of feet of dust.

“Go.” Zhu Que looked at Ghost Saint and the others indifferently as he spoke to Xiao Chen behind him.

At this moment, Xiao Chen’s eyebrows were still slightly knitted. In that instant just now … who exactly was he?

“I’ll stop them for you. You, go do what you want to do. However, the path ahead is dangerous and unknown. You must remember that nothing is more important than your life.”

Zhu Que’s voice was clear. After he finished his last sentence, he reached out and flicked his hand. Suddenly, a long and loud roar of Zhu Que sounded from high up in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a shadow of Zhu Que dived down and rolled up Xiao Chen. It turned into a pair of fire wings and condensed on his back, helping him fly towards the ninth layer of the sky.

Seeing Xiao Chen flying towards the ninth level of the sky, many people below were shocked. Especially Xiao Meng’er, her expression suddenly changed.

In the next moment, she pointed her fingers at the center of her eyebrows and used her bloodline power to break through Qianyu Nichang’s obstruction, wanting to chase after Xiao Chen.

However, at this moment, the three flowers between Qianyu Nichang’s eyebrows gathered together and the seal flourished. With a “zheng” sound, the Autumn Water Sword was actually unsheathed and slashed towards her with a single sword strike.

“Junior Sister, be careful!”

Liu Wuxin’s expression changed, and he instantly blocked it. However, with his tall and deep Dao Art, he was actually pushed back by Qianyu Nichang’s sword strike.

Xiao Meng’er was unable to break through Qianyu Nichang’s obstruction, but he saw that Xiao Chen had already rushed towards the “cold sun” in the sky. It was only a few hundred feet away from the Ninth Heaven.

“I’ll stop him.”

Liu Wuxin no longer cared about that much. She continuously formed seals with her hands and instantly used the ‘Roc Spreading Wings’ Immortal Technique. She swung forward and caught up to Xiao Chen in an instant. Without saying anything else, she launched a fierce attack at him.

Feeling the profound energy coming from behind him, Xiao Chen abruptly turned around and struck out with his palm. The collision of the two palms caused the cold wind to rise in all directions in the eighth level of the sky like sharp blades.

Fortunately, the pair of Xiao Chen divine wings on Zhu Que’s back hadn’t dissipated yet. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to withstand the cold wind from the peak of the Eighth Heaven. If Liu Wuxin suddenly struck him, he would definitely fall from above.

Above the nine heavens, the wind and clouds surged. The two of them stared at each other. Liu Wuxin knew that this person in front of her was powerful and not inferior to her. She did not dare to be careless at this moment. After her aura was condensed, he launched another offensive. His goal was not to defeat Xiao Chen, but to hold him back. He must not let this person go to the ninth level of the heavens before his junior sister.

A fierce battle broke out between the two of them. Liu Wuxin suddenly pulled out an immortal sword. However, the sword’s body emitted an extremely strong sword energy. With a single sword strike, it attacked Xiao Chen.

“Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!”

The two swords collided with each other, releasing an ice-cold metallic sound. Liu Wuxin’s sword technique was the “36 Peach Blossom Swords” of the Immortal Qiong Sect. One sword and one sword only sought to subdue the enemy, not injure people’s lives. It was created by Immortal Monarch Donghua in the past, and possessed the demeanor of an Immortal Clan Grandmaster.

As for Xiao Chen, he was naturally using the “33 Layered Jade Flute Sword Technique”. Back then, Ling Yin had taught him this sword technique in the hope that he would bear the world in mind. There was absolutely no such murderous intent.

Because his heart had grown colder and colder over the years, and because of the baleful aura in Di Gu Sword, his temperament had grown colder and colder. Therefore, this sword strike seemed to be shadowless and traceless, but it was filled with killing intent!

Chi!

With a sharp sound, blood splashed everywhere. Liu Wuxin’s left chest had already been struck by a sword. If he hadn’t used the sword lattice to block it in time, coupled with the protection of true qi, he would have been afraid that this sword would have pierced through Xiao Chen’s heart.

“Senior Brother …”

At this moment, Xiao Meng’er and Qianyu Nichang were confronting each other, but they happened to see Xiao Chen’s sword full of killing intent.

Chi!

With another sharp sound, Liu Wuxin was struck by another sword strike. Even though the 36 Peach Blossom Swords he used were extremely profound sword techniques, they were still slightly inferior to Xiao Chen’s 33 Layered Jade Flute Sword Technique.

Many people below naturally saw this scene. At this moment, they were all thinking in their hearts. One was a disciple under Immortal Monarch Donghua, and the other was a disciple of Xuanqing Sect Fairy Miaoyin in the past. But now, it seemed that Liu Wuxin was slightly inferior.

“Today, you can’t stop me. Nian you are her senior brother. Now step down, I won’t hurt you.”

At this moment, Xiao Chen’s eyes were cold. Because Di Gu was stained with blood, the baleful aura in the sword gradually became heavier. There was even a layer of blood mist enveloping the sword.

If it was anyone else, if they still held onto this sword, their hearts would have been corroded by the ancient baleful energy in this sword, and they would have long since become ruthless and merciless. However, at this moment, he was still able to maintain his heart. This was definitely not something an ordinary person could do.

“I won’t let you go up.”

The corner of Liu Wuxin’s mouth was covered in blood as he struggled with his severely wounded body. Genuine energy urged him again, and with another sharp sword strike, he attacked Xiao Chen. With him as a barrier, it would be difficult for Xiao Chen to smoothly reach the ninth level of the heavens.

“Knowing that you are invincible, using eggs to strike stones is foolish to the extreme.”

Suddenly, Xiao Chen’s eyes turned cold. With the sword energy, Di Gu Sword’s blood light instantly increased. The sword pierced through Liu Wuxin’s layers of sword energy and pierced through his chest with a “chi” sound.

“Uh … Pu!”

Liu Wuxin was heavily injured by Di Gu and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. This scene also stunned the people below.

“Uh …”

Suddenly, Xiao Chen let out a muffled snort. Di Gu drank blood. At this moment, there seemed to be a mist of blood in the sword that entered his wrist, causing his heart to slaughter several times over!

“Those who block me die!”

At this moment, Xiao Chen seemed to have suddenly changed his personality. With a fierce killing intent in his palm, he suddenly struck Liu Wuxin without leaving any room.

“Xiao Yichen … stop!”

Below, Xiao Meng’er’s expression changed. With a swipe of her finger, the Dust Heart Sword instantly transformed into a green sword light and flew up. However, in the end, it was still a moment slower.

With a “bang”, Xiao Chen’s palm struck Liu Wuxin firmly, causing her to be heavily injured. She coughed out a mouthful of blood and fell down.

At this moment, everyone below was stunned. That was Immortal Monarch Donghua’s disciple. He actually made such a heavy move, wanting to take his life …
