Chapter 2243 The Oriole Lurks Behind, Killing Huo Lingyan

boom!

The violent attack landed, and then all was silent.

The Xuan Yin Old Demon's divided soul has completely perished.

Only his storage bag remained on the ground.

But Chen Xuan still didn't dare to be careless.

Release your divine sense and the Heavenly Illusion Demon Eye, and examine it carefully for a while.

Only after confirming that the Xuan Yin Old Demon's divided soul had truly been completely killed by him did he smile happily.

"Heh, so the Xuan Yin Old Demon's divided soul is finally dead? That old thing is really troublesome!"

As he spoke, Chen Xuan swiftly and discreetly swallowed a pill meant to replenish his immortal energy.

In just a short while, the immortal power in Chen Xuan's dantian was mostly restored.

However, Chen Xuan did not immediately dismantle the formation.

Instead, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"I've already killed the Xuan Yin Old Demon's divided soul. Yet Huo Lingyan has been hiding in the shadows all this time! I really don't know where she gets such patience!"

"Could it be that she's still hoping to be the one who suffers the consequences?"

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan couldn't help but smile coldly.

He glanced at Chen Peng without making a sound.

Chen Peng immediately understood.

"Master, the Xuan Yin Old Demon's split soul is really too troublesome. Look, just from the battle I fought with him, controlling the Star River Array alone took a huge toll on me!"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to participate in the upcoming battles!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan immediately said, "If that's the case, you should go back and cultivate in seclusion!"

As he spoke, Chen Xuan had a thought and directly put Chen Peng into the Immortal Beast Tower.

As for the other demonic beasts, they continued their attack on the True Immortal not far away.

However, these true immortals do have an advantage in cultivation level.

However, relying on their numerical advantage, Chen Xie and the other demonic beasts completely overwhelmed these True Immortals.

At this moment, of the hundreds of True Immortals who participated in the battle, only a little over a hundred remained.

However, all of these people were highly skilled and had extensive combat experience.

In addition, the demonic beasts were already exhausted.

Their combat effectiveness is also far less than before.

"It seems that Chen Xie and the others are almost exhausted. If we let them continue fighting, let alone killing these True Immortals, we will probably have to pay a heavy price ourselves!"

"In that case, I should take action myself!"

Chen Xuan muttered softly.

The next instant, he had a thought and fully activated the Dragon-Seeking Sword.

Wow!

In the void, countless sword shadows surged forth at this moment.

Before long, it swept out like a sandstorm.

The True Immortals, who were trapped by the demonic beasts, all changed their expressions drastically when they saw Chen Xuan join the battle.

"Damn it, that bastard actually made a move too? Are we about to be wiped out?"

"Isn't that right? This person may only appear to be at the late stage of the Celestial Immortal realm, yet he was able to kill that powerful demon. Even if all of us joined forces, we might not be his match!"

"That's true, but with so many of us, we might still have a fighting chance! I saw it very clearly just now; he was severely injured by that senior from the Demon Clan. His injuries are probably quite serious. Right now, he's truly at his last gasp."

"That's right, this person is only putting on a brave face. We are already able to fight these demonic beast armies on equal terms. Even if this person were to fight, how could he possibly be a match for us?"

"That's right. Next, let's join forces and kill him first!"

All the true immortals' eyes lit up at that moment.

Capture the thief first and capture the king!

As long as Chen Xuan is killed, the remaining army of demonic beasts is no threat at all.

Little did they know, Chen Xuan actually hoped that all these people's attention would be focused on him.

"What a bunch of fools! Do they really think their strength is comparable to the divided soul of the Xuan Yin Old Demon?"

Chen Xuan sneered secretly.

He directly injected a stream of incredibly pure immortal power into the Dragon-Seeking Sword.

Almost simultaneously, the Five Elements Rule Chains were also fully activated by Chen Xuan.

Wow!

A dark chain, as thick as a bowl, appeared swiftly from the void.

In an instant, it enveloped those Celestial Immortal realm experts.

These Celestial Immortal level experts originally planned to make the first move and put pressure on Chen Xuan.

Unexpectedly, before they could even make a move, Chen Xuan's attack arrived first.

Especially now, with the sudden appearance of the Five Elements rule chains.

Like an incredibly agile venomous snake, it is impossible to guard against.

Wow!

The chains of rules contracted and expanded nimbly in the void.

Before a mid-stage Celestial Immortal could react, he was trapped in place by the chains of rules.

Even if he wanted to activate the immortal power in his dantian, he couldn't.

At this moment, he could only watch helplessly as a sword shadow pierced through his dantian in a flash.

puff!

With a soft sound, the Nascent Soul of this mid-stage Celestial Immortal expert was killed on the spot by the sword energy unleashed by Chen Xuan before he even had a chance to escape.

Almost simultaneously, one after another, powerful beings at the Celestial Immortal realm in the vicinity were trapped by the chains of rules.

Immediately afterwards, they were killed one after another by the overwhelming sword energy that swept across the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the battlefield turned into a one-sided crushing defeat.

All the Celestial Immortal realm experts who were enemies of Chen Xuan were unable to unleash their strongest attacks at this moment, as they were trapped by the chains of the Five Elements rules.

Then, he was instantly killed by sword energy attacking from all directions.

Even those powerful individuals who managed to escape the chains of the Five Elements rules were not without their difficulties.

At this moment, the four powerful demonic beasts, Chen Li, Chen Quan, Chen Xie, and Chen Chong, also unleashed their full power.

They directly engaged in close combat with these Celestial Immortal level experts.

With the formidable fighting power of these demonic beasts, how could a Celestial Immortal realm expert possibly be a match for them?

In the blink of an eye, many powerful individuals perished under the attacks of the demonic beasts.

When Chen Xuan saw this, he was immediately overjoyed.

However, his attention was not entirely focused on the battlefield.

A wisp of divine thought quietly spread out.

He was fully aware of all the changes around him.

Before long, Chen Xuan was pleasantly surprised to find that behind a small hill only a few hundred feet away from him, there was a barely perceptible human figure.

Although the other party was very well hidden.

However, it still couldn't escape Chen Xuan's divine sense detection.

"Hehe, if I'm not mistaken, the one hiding in the shadows right now should be Huo Lingyan, right?"

"What a pity, she's all alone now. Otherwise, I would have wiped out all those guys from the Heavenly Emperor Immortal Sect. That would have exceeded the sect's mission target!"

Chen Xuan sneered secretly.

But at this time, he did not stop.

With the combination of the Sword Shadow Sand Formation and the Five Elements Law Chains unleashed by the Dragon-Seeking Sword, it was virtually invincible.

Any Celestial Immortal realm expert who was trapped by the chains of the Five Elements rules quickly fell to Chen Xuan's attacks.

The battle lasted only half a cup of tea's time.

Most of the Celestial Immortal realm experts who participated in the battle were killed by Chen Xuan.

A small number were killed by the four demonic beasts Chen Li, Chen Quan, Chen Chong, and Chen Xie.

"Haha, Master, we actually joined forces to kill more than a hundred Celestial Immortal level experts this time!" Chen Xie rushed towards Chen Xuan joyfully.

He handed all the storage bags he had just collected to Chen Xuan.

Soon, Chen Li, Chen Chong, and Chen Quan also arrived one after another.

He handed the collected storage bags to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan's gaze swept over the monsters.

Seeing that the various demonic beasts, though injured to varying degrees, were not seriously wounded, he smiled with satisfaction and said, "This time, you have truly rendered a great service to me! However, the battle just now also caused you great losses! Now, you should all seize the time to go into seclusion and heal your wounds!"

As he spoke, Chen Xuan had a sudden thought and threw all the demonic beasts into the icy pool to heal their wounds in seclusion.

As for the corpses of those Celestial Immortal level experts!

Chen Xuan did not let him go either.

These are great for feeding gold-eating beetles.

Chen Xuan planned to give all the corpses of these True Immortals to the Gold-Eating Insects as a reward.

"These True Immortals are all quite powerful. Moreover, many of them are at the mid-stage or late-stage of the Heavenly Immortal realm."

"If used to feed the Gold-Eating Insects, it will definitely significantly improve their overall cultivation level."

"It can even allow many Gold-Eating Insects to directly advance to the Celestial Immortal realm!"

Upon thinking of this, Chen Xuan couldn't stop smiling.

Even after he had collected all the good stuff from the battlefield, Huo Lingyan, who was hiding in the shadows, still seemed to have no intention of making a move.

Chen Xuan was not in a hurry.

He knew perfectly well that Huo Lingyan, after seeing how he had just attacked, wasn't entirely confident she could kill him.

Perhaps they are already hesitating about whether to back down.

However, Chen Xuan would not give Huo Lingyan such an opportunity.

Whether it was his personal grudges or the feuds between his sects.

Chen Xuan had no intention of letting her go.

"Heh, how long are you planning to hide? Do you really think I didn't notice you hiding in the shadows?"

Chen Xuan sneered.

As he spoke, he pointed his finger in the air.

A bolt of lightning, as thick as an arm, crashed down on the hill where Huo Lingyan was hiding.

Huo Lingyan, who was hiding in the shadows and hesitating whether to attack Chen Xuan, was immediately forced out by this terrifying attack.

"Damn it, do you really intend to kill me? You've just been fighting one battle after another. Your immortal power in your dantian must be almost depleted, right?"

"Furthermore, your demonic beasts are also severely injured. Do you really think you have the ability to keep me here?"

Huo Lingyan sneered, unaware.

Chen Xuan stood still, motionless.

However, his gaze towards Huo Lingyan held a hint of mockery.

"If you were truly capable, you wouldn't have said those words; you would have attacked me directly!"

"It seems that the people of your Heavenly Emperor Immortal Sect are becoming increasingly incompetent!"

"Heh, that's true! You True Immortals of the Heavenly Emperor Immortal Sect are all willing to cooperate with the Demon Clan's powerful figures, completely eliminating Earth Immortals. Even if you're a bit worse, it's only natural!"

Chen Xuan continued to sneer.

His words immediately made Huo Lingyan's expression very unnatural.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, my allegiance to the Xuan Yin Old Demon's divided soul was nothing more than a charade, a mutually beneficial arrangement!"

"It has absolutely nothing to do with my stance!"

Huo Lingyan explained.

Chen Xuan simply wouldn't believe those words.

He looked at Huo Lingyan with disdain: "What's the point of forcing an explanation? Do you really think I'd believe you?"

Whether you believe me or not is not really important. The key is that, given your current situation, there's simply no way you can keep me here!

"Is that so? Huo Lingyan, do you really think that just because you're at the late-stage Great Perfection of a Celestial Immortal, I can't kill you?"

Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

The next instant, his divine sense in his Niwan Palace suddenly erupted.

hum!

In the void, a flying sword formed entirely from divine thought shot out at high speed.

The speed was so fast that even Huo Lingyan, a powerful expert at the late stage of the Celestial Immortal realm, didn't have time to react before the sword pierced into her dantian.

This powerful figure from the Heavenly Emperor Immortal Sect was killed on the spot by Chen Xuan without even uttering a scream.

"Heh, nothing special! You really think you're so great? People who like to play the victim are also easy prey for others, aren't they?"

Chen Xuan smiled disdainfully.

With a thought, he threw Huo Lingyan's corpse and storage bag into the Immortal Beast Tower, then put away the Big Dipper Seven Stars Formation and shot rapidly towards the outside of Tianyuan Valley.
