Chapter 556: Follow, Promise

"Haha, I'm a transformed monster, so what's wrong with using a sword formation?"

Chen Xuan smiled coldly.

In an instant, he pushed the Tiangang Sword Formation to its extreme.

hum!

In the void, thirty-six ancient dragon-subduing swords, under the urging of Chen Xuan, burst out with a terrifying sword light at the same time.

Soon, these sword beams gathered together to form a sword beam that was more than ten feet long, and flew towards Tiexiong at a rapid speed.

"not good!"

Tiexiong's expression changed drastically.

He raised his arms and quickly blocked the incoming sword light.

But it was still half a beat late.

boom!

After a muffled sound, a terrifying sword light suddenly fell from the sky.

Tie Xiong was knocked back several feet by the terrifying impact force from the sword.

Behind him, the illusory demon shadow with three heads and six arms almost disappeared at this moment.

If someone could see Tiexiong's current situation, they would definitely find that his arms were covered with conspicuous wounds.

Blood and essence kept flowing out of these wounds, which was shocking to see.

"So strong!"

Tie Xiong's expression changed drastically. For the first time, there was a hint of fear in his eyes as he looked at Chen Xuan.

However, Chen Xuan had no intention of stopping.

He continued to activate the Ancient Dragon Subduing Sword and slashed at Tiexiong.

boom!

A sword beam pierced directly into Tiexiong's chest.

Although Tie Xiong, who practiced the Futian Demon Art, had strong combat power, he still did not dare to be careless when facing the terrifying sword attacks erupting from the Tiangang Sword Formation.

After taking the blow, Tiexiong was shocked to find that a large part of his chest had collapsed.

From the outside, it looked like he was not hurt at all.

But Tiexiong knew very well that two bones in his chest were broken.

Chen Xuan still had no intention of stopping.

He activated the ancient dragon-subduing sword and continued to slash at Tiexiong.

The sturdy man with an extremely strong body was completely desperate after Chen Xuan's repeated attacks.

About half an hour later, Tiexiong, covered in blood and breathing weakly, finally couldn't hold on any longer.

"Fellow!"

"Is something wrong?"

Chen Xuan smiled coldly, but did not stop.

Just as he was about to activate the Ancient Dragon Sword to kill Tie Xiong directly, Tie Xiong suddenly said, "If you can spare my life, I am willing to follow you for the rest of my life!"

"Ok?"

Chen Xuan looked surprised.

Tiexiong seems to be a bit mentally handicapped, but his fighting ability is unquestionable.

If he could really follow me, he would be a good helper to Chen Xuan.

But at the moment, Chen Xuan would not easily believe Tie Xiong's words.

With a thought, the Ancient Dragon-Subduing Sword made a crisp sword sound in the void.

Soon, the thirty-six ancient dragon-subduing swords gathered into a giant sword that was more than ten feet long and flew towards Tiexiong's head.

Now, Tiexiong panicked instantly.

"Fellow Daoist, I am willing to swear on my inner demon that I will follow you till death!"

Seeing that Chen Xuan still showed no sign of stopping, Tie Xiong quickly changed his words.

"Fellow Daoist, I am willing to hand over my soul and spirit, and from now on I will recognize you as my master."

Chen Xuan was stunned.

The guy who had just shouted at him to kill and even mistook him for a transformed monster, now actually surrendered.

Chen Xuan really didn't know how to evaluate Tiexiong.

However, Chen Xuan did not kill Tie Xiong immediately.

He frowned and said in a cold voice: "If that's the case, then hand over your soul first."

"Yes!"

Tiexiong agreed and handed over his soul without hesitation.

And quickly handed it to Chen Xuan.

Once a cultivator gives up his soul, it means that he has handed his life over to the control of others.

At this moment, if Chen Xuan wanted, Tiexiong would be scared to death in a minute.

However, seeing Tiexiong hand over his soul so readily, Chen Xuan felt somewhat confused.

"Are you really going to acknowledge me as your Lord?"

"This... Is there any other way for me to do this?"

Tiexiong smiled awkwardly.

After looking at Chen Xuan carefully for a while, a look of doubt appeared again.

"Are you a cultivator or a demon beast?"

"What do you say?"

Chen Xuan glared at Tie Xiong unhappily.

After he collected Tiexiong's soul and spirit, he said, "You just performed the Subduing Heaven Devil Technique. What's its origin?"

"This... Subduing the Heavenly Demon Art is the cultivation method of the famous Heavenly Demon Sect in Zhongzhou. My ancestor was an outer sect elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect. Unfortunately, my family has gradually declined over the years. We, the younger generation, are unable to protect the family business left by our ancestors. Therefore, I have become a casual cultivator. I serve as a guest elder in these small cities to get some cultivation resources."

Tiexiong smiled bitterly.

After listening to this, Chen Xuan's eyes were full of surprise.

"This statement is somewhat similar to what Taoist Tianyun said. It seems that the immortal cultivators in Zhongzhou's immortal cultivation world have a really hard life."

Chen Xuan stood there quietly, thinking about something.

After a moment, Chen Xuan suddenly said, "You just said that the Subduing Heavenly Demon Art you practiced is the art of the Zhongzhou Tianmo Sect? If so, do you know a sect called Tianxie Sect?"

"Tianxie Cult? Isn't this just a small sect under the Tianmo Sect?" Tie Xiong said.

Chen Xuan looked surprised.

After asking in detail, Chen Xuan finally understood.

The immortal cultivation world in Zhongzhou is different from that in Linhezhou. Under the command of a powerful sect, there are countless small sects and families.

An existence of the level of the Tianmo Sect is one of the top ten sects in Zhongzhou.

It has countless sects, large and small, under its command.

For example, the Sanqing Taoist sect, which is also one of the top ten sects in Zhongzhou, also has many small sects and immortal cultivation families under its command.

These small sects and immortal cultivation families all have their own territories.

The Zhu family in Linbian City is just a small family under the Sanqing Taoist sect.

"The situation in Zhongzhou's immortal cultivation world is far more complicated than I imagined. The competition between various families and immortal cultivators is also very fierce."

"Fortunately, there are enough cultivation resources in Zhongzhou's cultivation world. As long as there are talented and powerful cultivators, they can make a name for themselves here."

Chen Xuan sighed secretly.

His eyes turned to Tiexiong again.

"Which city are you representing to attend the Hundred Cities Conference?" Chen Xuan asked.

"Reporting to the master, it is Feiyun City, which ranks in the top ten in the Hundred Cities Conference." Tie Xiong said.

Chen Xuan nodded.

After a slight hesitation, he said directly: "If I ask you to leave Feiyun City and live in Linbian City from now on, what will you say?"

"Everything is up to the master."

"Very good. From now on, you can follow me with peace of mind. Don't worry, as long as you don't betray me, the benefits I will give you will definitely be much greater than what you have now as the Keqin Elder."

Hearing Chen Xuan's promise, Tiexiong suddenly looked overjoyed.

"Thank you, Master!"

Chen Xuan nodded.

He swept his divine sense over Tiexiong and saw that he was covered in blood, but they were all superficial injuries. Without hesitation, he took out a bottle of top-grade healing pills and threw them to Tiexiong.

"This bottle of healing pill is for you. Hurry up and meditate and practice. When you have almost finished your practice, I will take you to a place." Chen Xuan said.

"Yes, Master!"

Tiexiong agreed and quickly found a place to meditate and practice.

Chen Xuan stood quietly aside, observing Tiexiong silently.

When Tiexiong was practicing, demonic energy was surging all over his body.

From time to time, there was a sharp noise.

This made Chen Xuan even more curious.

"This Subduing Devil Technique is quite powerful. No wonder Tiexiong is so powerful among the immortal cultivators of the same level."

"If I hadn't used the Ancient Dragon Sword, it would have been difficult to deal with him with just the True Dragon Transformation."

Chen Xuan sighed secretly.

After Tiexiong refined a top-grade healing pill, the injuries in his body were almost healed.

"Since your internal injuries have almost healed. Next, you have to follow me to do something." Chen Xuan said.

"Master, I understand. Now that the Hundred Cities Conference is only halfway through, I naturally have to help you to get into the top ten of the Hundred Cities List and get a Dragon Spirit Pill." Tiexiong said respectfully.

It seems that he adapted to his new identity very quickly.

Chen Xuan couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

"Your strength is not weak to begin with. You were one of the top ten strongest people on the Hundred Cities Ranking before the Hundred Cities Conference started."

"In that case, why can't you and I join forces to strive for the top ten?"

Tiexiong was puzzled and looked at Chen Xuan with curiosity.

Chen Xuan smiled and said, "You are originally a cultivator in the Jindan stage. And your realm is equal to mine. Even if your soul is temporarily in my hands and forced to become my slave, are you really willing to be my slave for the rest of your life?"

"How about this, let's make a pact between the two of us. You will follow me for a hundred years. If you don't do anything to betray me within a hundred years, I will return your soul to you and give you freedom. How about that?"

"Thank you so much, Master!"

Tiexiong looked ecstatic.

Regardless of whether Chen Xuan's promise can really be fulfilled, just the hope that Chen Xuan's words at this moment brought him made Tiexiong very happy.

"Remember, we should address each other as fellow Taoists in front of others. Let's go, let's find Jin Fengwu first, and then rescue Zhu Xun'er."

Chen Xuan raised his head and looked at the big words on the huge light curtain above his head. A hint of cold murderous intent flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Tiexiong didn't ask any more questions and followed Chen Xuan and quickly shot away into the distance.

……

In the Xueyun Mountains, in the nameless valley.

Golden Phoenix Dance stood in the snow, gazing into the distance with her beautiful eyes.

Not far from her, Zhu Xun'er was shivering with cold.

After a moment, Zhu Xun'er blinked her long eyelashes slightly.

"Jin Fengwu, did you see that? Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen will not come. You'd better kill me as soon as possible." Zhu Xun'er sneered.

"Are you so eager to die?"

Jin Fengwu sneered.

After a moment, she seemed to have discovered something, and an indescribable surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Soon, her spiritual thoughts spread out rapidly and fell into the distant void.

I saw a burly, shirtless man striding in the snow.

Even though the sturdy man didn't escape into the air, his speed was quite fast.

In just a moment, he appeared more than ten feet in front of Jin Fengwu.

The person who came was Tiexiong.

Although Jin Fengwu had never seen Tiexiong, she couldn't help but frown when she felt the powerful aura emanating from Tiexiong.

"Fellow Daoist, what are you doing here? Are you here to save Zhu Xun'er?"

Tiexiong smiled calmly.

"Fairy, you are right. I came here to save Zhu Xun'er. If you let her go right now, I will pretend that nothing happened. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
