Chapter 2293 Powerful, Severely Injuring a Golden Immortal
"Old man, who are you talking to?"
Chen Xuan's voice was extremely cold.
Of course, he could tell that the square-faced old man was by no means an ordinary late-stage Celestial Immortal at the Great Perfection realm.
If it were outside the Burial Sword Valley, the cultivation level would be at least the early stage of Golden Immortal.
But this is the Valley of Burial Swords.
The Golden Immortal's cultivation was severely suppressed.
Many techniques used by Golden Immortals are naturally unusable.
In this way, their combat power is almost equivalent to that of a half-step Golden Immortal.
Faced with an enemy of this caliber, how could Chen Xuan possibly be afraid?
Moreover, the other party was from Yaoguang Cave.
Chen Xuan had no need to be polite.
"You ignorant fool, how dare you speak so disrespectfully to this old man? You're asking for death!"
The square-faced old man angrily cursed.
The next instant, he slapped his palm down with lightning speed.
They launched a direct attack on Chen Xuan.
hum!
In the void, a terrifying physical force pressed down on Chen Xuan.
If it were anyone else, they would probably have been stunned by the terrifying power of the old man's attack.
However, Chen Xuan did not take the old man's attack seriously at all.
Before the terrifying physical power in the void could strike.
Chen Xuan's fist had already been thrown out.
boom!
A piercing explosion rang out from the void, and a terrifying shockwave spread out like a tidal wave.
The violent recoil also struck Chen Xuan and the square-faced old man.
The square-faced old man casually waved his hand, dispelling the recoil.
But Chen Xuan had no intention of making a move at all.
Despite the recoil hitting him, he remained completely still.
"Hmm? A mere late-stage Celestial Immortal, yet you possess some skill. It seems you truly did slay that early-stage Golden Immortal sword slave earlier?"
The square-faced old man looked surprised.
A sword slave in the early stage of the Golden Immortal realm!
Their combat strength is quite impressive!
Moreover, he is skilled in earth-遁 (earth-遁术, a technique that allows one to escape from the earth).
If they are focused solely on escaping, even these early-stage Golden Immortals wouldn't be able to catch them.
He also used a tracking array to leave a mark on the early-stage Golden Immortal sword slave, which allowed him to track him all the way here.
A powerful individual capable of slaying a sword slave at the early stage of the Golden Immortal realm is definitely no ordinary person.
"Heh... Is the sword slave yours? Why should I tell you!"
Chen Xuan sneered, not taking the square-faced old man seriously at all.
This enraged the square-faced old man.
"Kid, it seems I need to teach you a lesson today, or you'll really be too arrogant for your own good!"
As he spoke, the square-faced old man gave a cold laugh.
He activated a flying sword directly.
hum!
In the void, the flying swords suddenly transformed into afterimages, hurtling towards Chen Xuan at high speed.
Each afterimage looked incredibly powerful.
But at this moment, Chen Xuan remained completely still.
He let the flying sword fall on him.
Only when these afterimages of flying swords appeared more than ten feet in front of Chen Xuan did Chen Xuan make his move.
hum!
The Dragon-Seeking Sword let out a soft hum and swiftly slashed at the incoming sword shadow.
Click!
A crisp snapping sound rang out immediately.
Without exception, all the sword shadows unleashed by the square-faced old man were destroyed by Chen Xuan.
Even the flying sword that the old man was wielding had a visible crack on its surface.
The old man, whose mind was connected to the flying sword, was immediately attacked by the flying sword.
He spat out a mouthful of thick essence and blood.
"This……"
The square-faced old man was terrified.
He could tell that Chen Xuan's cultivation level was only at the late stage of the Celestial Immortal realm.
However, Chen Xuan's combat power at this moment is no weaker than any Golden Immortal realm expert.
His first move was somewhat of a test.
But in his second attack, he had already used 80% of his strength.
If it were an ordinary late-stage Celestial Immortal, he would have killed them with a single sword strike long ago.
But Chen Xuan was not killed by him; instead, he severely injured the flying sword in his hand.
Even he himself suffered a backlash from the flying sword.
"I underestimated you. Someone capable of severely injuring me is a genius even among celestial immortals."
"Heh heh, but since you've offended me, this time I'm determined to make you disappear completely!"
The square-faced old man grinned menacingly.
As he spoke, he once again urged his flying sword to attack Chen Xuan.
This time, Chen Xuan showed no intention of holding back.
With a cold laugh, he activated the Thunder Wings behind him.
Boom!
A thunderous roar followed.
Chen Xuan had already vanished from the spot in a flash.
When they reappeared, Chen Xuan was standing on the back of the square-faced old man.
This made the expressions of the Purple-Clad Fairy and Uncle Hai extremely unpleasant.
Just as they were about to warn the square-faced old man, Chen Xuan's Dragon-Seeking Sword had already thrust towards him.
hum!
In the void, the Dragon-Seeking Sword vanished as quickly as a ghost.
When it reappeared, it was already about a foot behind the square-faced old man.
Unable to dodge in time, and with no time to activate his protective abilities, the square-faced old man could only instinctively dodge.
puff!
Despite the sharpness of the Dragon-Seeking Sword, the square-faced old man still couldn't escape being severely injured.
After a soft hum, the Dragon-Seeking Sword pierced through the old man's left shoulder.
Blood flowed.
The intense stinging pain made the square-faced old man's expression turn extremely ugly.
But at this moment, the square-faced old man, who had experienced Chen Xuan's methods firsthand, no longer had the will to fight Chen Xuan.
With a thought, he vanished from his spot in an instant.
Only after he had completely widened the distance between himself and Chen Xuan did he quickly take out a healing pill and swallow it.
"Boy, I didn't expect you to be so strong. But what kind of skill is it to sneak up on me just now? If you have the guts, fight me fair and square!"
The square-faced old man grinned menacingly.
Looking at Chen Xuan, she wished she could grind him to dust.
However, Chen Xuan completely ignored the square-faced old man.
He directly controlled the Dragon-Seeking Sword and attacked again.
hum!
In the void, countless sword shadows swept across the sky, like a vast, raging sandstorm.
The terrifying aura startled Uncle Hai and the Purple-Clad Fairy, causing their expressions to change drastically at the same time.
Seeing that things were going badly, the fairy in purple could no longer maintain her aloofness.
He quickly moved and stood in front of the square-faced old man.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, please show mercy!"
Chen Xuan stared at the purple-clad fairy with surprise for a long time before finally asking, "Who are you?"
The purple-clad fairy stared at Chen Xuan, her expression turning extremely unpleasant.
True immortals possess the ability to remember everything they see.
Moreover, the two haven't been separated from the Immortal Sect for very long.
She couldn't believe that Chen Xuan didn't even recognize himself.
However, Chen Xuan pretended not to recognize her, and the Purple-Clad Fairy could only continue to explain.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, I am the Purple-Clad Fairy. We have met in your sect's reception hall!" the Purple-Clad Fairy said.
Although the fairy in purple appeared calm on the surface.
In his heart, however, he wished he could grind Chen Xuan to dust.
"Oh? So it's the purple-clad fairy from Yaoguang Cave. I was wondering why she looked so familiar!"
Chen Xuan suddenly understood.
Although he said that, he did not retract the sword shadow flying sand formation he activated.
On the contrary, their momentum grew stronger.
Seeing this, Uncle Hai quickly appeared beside the Purple-Clad Fairy.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, since we are all acquaintances, why don't we talk? What happened just now was indeed our fault. We apologize to you!"
Uncle Hai said earnestly.
He could tell that Chen Xuan's combat strength was extraordinary.
Chen Peng, Chen Chong, and Chen Xie, who were with Chen Xuan, were also very powerful.
If they were to actually fight, the three of them might not be able to defeat Chen Xuan.
Even if they managed to kill Chen Xuan and his group, they would have to pay a heavy price.
In other places, it wouldn't matter even if we did that.
But this is the Valley of Burial Swords.
Once seriously injured, there is absolutely no chance of leaving alive.
In order to survive, Uncle Hai had no choice but to lower himself and beg Chen Xuan for peace.
"Hehe, if that fellow Daoist had been so easy to talk to, I wouldn't have had to take action."
Chen Xuan gave a cold laugh, his expression towards the square-faced old man extremely unfriendly.
Although the square-faced old man was at the early stage of the Golden Immortal realm, he could only pretend not to see Chen Xuan's expression and quietly stand behind Uncle Hai and the Purple-Clad Fairy.
Let the two of them take the lead.
Although Chen Xuan really wanted to kill the square-faced old man directly, he also knew that if a big battle broke out now, he might not have the upper hand.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, we were indeed in the wrong today. I apologize to you!"
"How about we call it quits for today?"
Seeing that the Purple-Clad Fairy did not inquire about the whereabouts of the early-stage Golden Immortal Sword Slave, Chen Xuan naturally did not object.
"Hehe, since the fairy has put it that way, I'll give you some face. Let's drop this matter!"
Chen Xuan smiled faintly.
Seeing that the purple-clad fairy showed no sign of making a move.
Chen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief when even Uncle Hai showed no intention of making a move.
With a thought, he immediately put away the Dragon-Seeking Sword.
"May I ask, fairy, why have you appeared at Iron Ruler Ridge? Are you here specifically to hunt down sword slaves?" Chen Xuan asked curiously.
He hadn't expected to hear the truth from the fairy in purple anyway.
Unexpectedly, the purple-clad fairy smiled slightly: "Fellow Daoist Chen, I am only passing through Iron Ruler Ridge this time. The place I really want to go is Heavenly Sword Valley."
"There are quite a few Star Pearls in Heavenly Sword Valley. I intend to collect some!"
"Of course, if one can comprehend sword intent within Heavenly Sword Valley, that would be a good thing!"
After the fairy in purple finished speaking, she secretly stared at Chen Xuan with her beautiful eyes.
Seeing that Chen Xuan's expression was normal, she smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, why don't you come with me?"
"Hehe, please make yourself at home, fairy. I have some things to attend to, so I won't be able to continue this journey with you!"
After Chen Xuan finished speaking, he immediately transformed into a blur and left with Chen Peng and the other demonic beasts.
After Chen Xuan had been gone for a long time, a strange, cold smile suddenly appeared on the lips of the purple-clad fairy.
The square-faced old man standing behind the purple-clad fairy asked curiously, "Miss, do you think this man surnamed Chen might go to Heavenly Sword Valley? You shouldn't have been so soft-hearted just now. You should have just killed him and settled things once and for all!"
"Hehe, you're mistaken. I may want to kill him, but there's no need for me to do it myself. Now, all I need to do is tell Young Master Lingxu about Chen Xuan's appearance at Iron Ruler Ridge. He'd rather Chen Xuan be dead than I would like it!"
"Miss is brilliant! In that case, I will inform Young Master Lingxu immediately!"
"Ah."
The fairy in purple nodded.
After the square-faced old man took out a communication jade talisman, said a few words, and successfully activated it, she left with Uncle Hai and the square-faced old man.
