Chapter 2301 Sneak Attack, Take Action

After a long time, Chen Xuan finally stopped collecting all the Star Pearls from a Star Pearl Fruit tree.

Using their divine sense to explore their surroundings, they discovered that Xiao Qin and Elder Bai, who were not far from them, had only collected two or three Star Pearls.

This immediately aroused Chen Xuan's curiosity.

"Fairy Xiao, is there some difficulty you have in collecting Star Pearls here?" Chen Xuan asked.

Xiao Qin gave an awkward smile: "Brother Chen, collecting Star Pearls is not difficult. The difficulty lies in how to accurately find the real Star Pearls among these illusory ones."

"Only by striking the real Star Pearl will the Star Pearl fall down."

"Even with the help of a rare treasure, Bai Lao and I only managed to collect a few!"

She did take note of it.

Chen Xuan spent the same amount of time collecting all the Star Pearls from a Star Pearl Fruit tree.

She and Old Man Bai worked together, but they only managed to collect a few.

This efficiency is indeed somewhat low.

“What the fairy says is absolutely right. This Star Pearl will only fall off if it is struck correctly. I also have a secret technique that can distinguish between genuine and fake.”

"How about I point out the location of the True Star Pearl for the fairy, and you can collect them slowly!"

Chen Xuan explained with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qin was overjoyed.

"If that's the case, thank you very much, Brother Chen."

"There's no need for such formalities between us. Just write down the coordinates!"

Chen Xuan explained with a smile.

Soon, he activated the Heavenly Illusion Demon Eye and accurately reported the coordinates of each genuine Star Pearl to Xiao Qin and Elder Bai.

With the coordinates provided by Chen Xuan, the two were able to significantly improve their efficiency in striking the Star Pearl.

In just a short while, he had more than a dozen Star Pearls in his hand.

"Brother Chen, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, Elder Bai and I probably would have gained very little this time," Xiao Qin said gratefully.

"Haha, you flatter me, fairy. This is all your good fortune. Besides, I need to collect more Star Pearls, so I won't chat with you any longer. Farewell!"

After Chen Xuan finished speaking, he immediately turned into a shadow and disappeared.

Soon, Chen Xuan, accompanied by three demonic beasts, appeared beneath a lush Stardust Fruit tree.

This time, he did not do it himself.

Instead, he gave the branch in his hand to Chen Chong.

Chen Chong and Chen Xie were instructed to strike the Star Pearl, while Chen Peng was responsible for collecting the pearls.

He himself was responsible for providing the coordinates of the Star Pearl.

With the four of them working together, the efficiency of collecting Star Pearls increased significantly.

In just a few hours, Chen Xuan had hundreds more Star Pearls in his hands.

……

Heavenly Sword Valley is a place where the three great sword intents converge.

At this moment, the Free and Unfettered Sword Intent had completely calmed down after Chen Xuan left.

The number of true immortals gathering here is increasing.

Everyone stared in awe at Chen Xuan's name on the Genius Stele.

"This Fellow Daoist Chen is indeed a genius, actually able to comprehend one of the three great sword intents, the Free and Unfettered Sword Intent."

"Haha, that's exactly right. I just had the good fortune to witness Fellow Daoist Chen comprehend the Free and Unfettered Sword Intent and condense the Free and Unfettered Sword Heart. I'm truly envious. A genius indeed!"

"That's right. Although I have some skill in swordsmanship, compared to Fellow Daoist Chen, it's simply not worth mentioning!"

Countless exclamations of praise for Chen Xuan rang out incessantly.

At this moment, Young Master Lingxu, who had long since left the place where he was comprehending the Supreme Sword Intent, listened to the discussions of the crowd, and his expression turned extremely ugly.

"Unexpectedly, this time, the man surnamed Chen not only condensed the Free and Unfettered Sword Heart, but also made a name for himself in the True Immortal Realm!"

"Hehe, this time, I suffered a considerable loss because of him!"

"This grudge must be avenged!"

Young Master Lingxu cursed under his breath, and soon he quietly disappeared into the crowd.

When they reappeared, they were in a secluded place.

At this moment, the older protector who followed Young Master Lingxu also quietly appeared.

"How's the matter I asked you to handle going?"

"Don't worry, young master, I have already found Chen Xuan's whereabouts. He is currently collecting Star Pearls. Hehe, as long as we sneak over there, we will definitely be able to kill him."

Not long ago, this elderly protector suffered a considerable loss at the hands of Chen Peng.

He naturally had no good feelings towards Chen Xuan.

Like Young Master Lingxu, he wished he could grind Chen Xuan to dust.

As for the other tall protector...

Although he remained taciturn, he did not object to killing Chen Xuan.

After all, he is the protector of Young Master Lingxu!

"Very well. Last time, I didn't use my true abilities when I fought Chen Xuan. This time, I will definitely use the Abyss Immortal Sword's soul to ambush Chen Xuan and utterly ruin his reputation!"

"Haha... Once I kill him, how many people will remember Chen Xuan's name?"

As Lingxu Gongzi finished speaking, he suddenly gave a ferocious smile.

He quickly disappeared with his two protectors.

Little did they know that shortly after Young Master Lingxu left, Fairy in Purple Robes and her two protectors quietly appeared.

"Young Master Lingxu is indeed impatient. Well then, as long as he can kill Chen Xuan, the information I provided to him will not have been in vain!"

The purple-clad fairy gazed in the direction where Young Master Lingxu and the others had disappeared, a deep, cold smile creeping onto her lips.

"Miss, although Young Master Lingxu's strength is considerable, Chen Xuan has ultimately comprehended the Free and Unfettered Sword Intent. Young Master Lingxu alone is probably no match for Chen Xuan!"

"Do you think we should secretly lend Young Master Lingxu a hand?"

"We are people from Yaoguang Cave, after all!"

After a moment's thought, Uncle Hai immediately offered his suggestion.

"Hehe, Uncle Hai, are you confused? Young Master Lingxu is certainly one of our Yaoguang Cave members. But he is also my biggest competitor within Yaoguang Cave!"

"If he dies, who in Yaoguang Cave can compete with me for cultivation resources?"

"Hehe, this time I intend to use Chen Xuan to kill Young Master Lingxu directly!"

The fairy in purple gave a cold laugh.

Seeing Uncle Hai's surprised expression.

She sneered again, "Uncle Hai, you've lived for so long, do you really think there's any humanity left in the True Immortal Realm? Although I and Young Master Lingxu are fellow disciples, I will still take action when the time is right!"

"Of course, if Young Master Lingxu is really dead, I will tell Yaoguang Cave about his killing by Chen Xuan."

"At that time, I'm sure those old guys in Yaoguang Cave will definitely get restless!"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Hai looked surprised.

A moment later, as if remembering something, an undisguised excitement appeared on his face.

"Does Miss mean to use the Five Ancestors to eliminate Chen Xuan?"

"Hehe, Uncle Hai, you're still got it! You've already thought of the same thing as me so quickly."

"Hehe, thank you for your praise, Miss. I've only heard that Young Master Lingxu has a close relationship with the Fifth Ancestor. If Young Master Lingxu were to die, the Fifth Ancestor certainly wouldn't stand idly by!"

“That’s natural! The Fifth Ancestor had a son late in life. Although he was an illegitimate child, he wouldn’t just stand by and watch Young Master Lingxu be killed. Although the Fifth Ancestor didn’t make any promises to Young Master Lingxu on the surface, he has taken good care of him over the years. I believe that the Fifth Ancestor still has some affection for this illegitimate child.”

"Yes, Miss is absolutely right. So what do we do now?"

"The fairy doesn't need to do anything, just wait patiently for the result. If Young Master Lingxu is killed by Chen Xuan, we will send the news to the Five Ancestors immediately!"

"Yes, miss!"

……

Heavenly Sword Valley, the place where the Star Whirl Fruit Tree is located.

Chen Xuan, who was directing Chen Chong and Chen Xie to tap the Star Pearl, suddenly noticed something and her expression changed slightly.

The next moment, he pointed his finger into the air.

A terrifying sword aura descended directly into the empty void.

boom!

Accompanied by a loud and piercing noise.

A massive curtain of swords completely blocked Chen Xuan's attack.

This caused all the demonic beasts who were collecting the Star Pearls to change their expressions drastically.

Regardless of their own safety, they immediately gathered around Chen Xuan.

"Sword formation?"

Chen Xuan looked surprised.

He never expected that while he was collecting Star Pearls next to the Star Pearl Tree, someone would set up a sword formation around him.

If he hadn't noticed something amiss when he activated the Heavenly Illusion Demon Eye just now.

He was probably already outmaneuvered.

"Fellow Daoist, since you're here, why not come out and greet me?"

Chen Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, and the Dragon-Seeking Sword flew out automatically, transforming into a large array of sword shadows that completely protected Chen Xuan.

At this moment, Chen Peng, Chen Chong, and Chen Xie were also on high alert.

He watched all the changes around him warily.

Soon, the sword curtain that enveloped everyone emitted a buzzing sound.

Before long, terrifying sword energy and sword light simultaneously rushed towards Chen Xuan and the others.

"court death!"

Chen Peng's expression changed slightly.

The fist had already been thrown in an instant.

boom!

A golden bolt of lightning, the size of a bowl, slammed directly into the incoming sword energy and sword light.

The domineering power of lightning rules erupted wildly at this moment.

Although the incoming sword energy and sword light were extremely powerful.

But they were still helpless in the face of Chen Peng's attack.

Before long, it was completely blocked.

However, the sword curtain surrounding everyone did not dissipate.

Instead, it emitted another buzzing sound.

At that moment, countless illusory flying swords shot directly towards Chen Xuan and the others.

Upon seeing this, Chen Xuan suddenly smiled.

"Sword Shadow Clone Technique? If you intend to use such a method against me, you're dreaming!"

With Chen Xuan's current skill in swordsmanship.

He could naturally tell that the person who launched the attack was only of average skill in swordsmanship.

Destroying the opponent's attack is a matter of minutes, if one is willing.

But for now, Chen Xuan is not in a hurry to retaliate.

Instead, it activated the Dragon-Seeking Sword, quickly deflecting all the sword shadow attacks.

At this moment, neither attack had managed to harm Chen Xuan in the slightest.

This enraged the hidden young master Lingxu.

"You surnamed Chen, do you really think I can't kill you?"

Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

A chilling killing intent flashed from the depths of his eyes.

"I knew it! In Heavenly Sword Valley, who would dare to kill me? It's you! Heh, since you've come here to die, don't blame me for being impolite!" Chen Xuan sneered.

Chen Xuanzhen had absolutely no liking for Young Master Lingxu.

At the place where the three sword intents converged, Chen Xuan originally intended to take the opportunity to kill Young Master Lingxu.

However, he did not make a move because of Sword Master's dissuasion.

Now, Young Master Lingxu has actually come here to die.

Chen Xuan naturally had no intention of keeping him around.

"Haha, Mr. Chen, although you have comprehended the Free and Unfettered Sword Intent, with your current cultivation level, can you unleash much of its power?"

"As for me, before entering Heavenly Sword Valley, I had already encountered some fortuitous opportunities. Killing you now would be a piece of cake!"

"is it?"

"Haha...you're not convinced?"

"I'm not convinced by such a foolish threat. I just find it a little funny!"

"court death!"

Young Master Lingxu was furious.

Before Chen Xuan could make a move, he pointed his finger in mid-air.

hum!

In the void, the terrifying sword curtain rapidly dissipated.

The Abyss Immortal Sword has been fully activated by Young Master Lingxu.

It transformed into a blur and shot towards Chen Xuan.

hum!

In the void, the figure of the Abyss Immortal Sword instantly became blurry.
