Chapter 533 Trapped in His Own Trap
This series of actions was incredibly fast.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Heng launched an attack, catching Chen Bai and Ling Shouming off guard with the speed of his sword escape and the strength of his physical body.

At this moment, Ling Shouming focused his gaze and saw that Chen Bai, who was a hundred feet away, was trembling in his arm, clearly at a slight disadvantage in that exchange of punches.

But he was remarkably unharmed.

He actually blocked Chen Heng's punch with his strong body, without using any immortal powers!
"Such immense force! Even those from prestigious sects, trained in the Qi-type martial arts, would be beaten to death without warning!"

Chen Bai moved his fingers slightly and felt his arm go weak.

Although he understood that Chen Heng's "Tai Su Jade Body" was no ordinary technique, and that few in the entire universe dared to cultivate it, he still couldn't hide his astonishment when he actually fought against this renowned method of achieving sainthood through physical body.

The fact that he was able to withstand Chen Heng's punch shows that he has achieved considerable skill in physical cultivation.

Chen Bai was studying the "Flowing Evolution of the Supreme Method" left behind by Zhuo Huai Xiang. Once he achieved mastery in his practice, his immense power would be able to cause the seas to surge and the deepest valleys to turn into dust.

Undoubtedly, this is an extremely sophisticated method for achieving sainthood through physical means!

After mastering the "Flowing Evolution Method" to its highest level, one can ward off evil and impurity, possess a formless body, and have the power to bring endless blessings, longevity, and extended life.

In terms of value, this method of achieving sainthood in the flesh is by no means inferior to the "Chang Chao Shang Ding" (a type of ancient Chinese cauldron), and in some aspects, it is even superior!

But this is a truly legal document.

But still...

While Chen Bai was thinking rapidly, Chen Heng did not stop his attack, giving Chen Bai a chance to catch his breath.

The two fought with lightning speed, exchanging dozens of blows in the blink of an eye.

Ordinary cultivators could hardly even see their forms clearly. In the raging sea of ​​clouds, they could only vaguely glimpse two beams of light, one in front of the other, seemingly chasing each other, sometimes separating and sometimes merging.

As another punch landed, Chen Bai was also struck by the recoil, causing him to tremble all over and almost vomit blood.

A large net woven from bright yellow silk finally flew in and, at the last possible moment, blocked Chen Heng's path.

Chen Heng casually slashed with his sword, but the magical weapon only made a "crackling" sound, like the clash of metal.

The next instant, the large net swayed in the wind, growing to a hundred feet in size, its sharp light flashing, and it moved forward, trapping Chen Heng in the center.

Taking advantage of the moment when Ling Shouming released his magical artifact to block the attack, Chen Bai leaped out of the battle.

"It's a pity that my cultivation of the 'Flowing Evolution Method' is too complicated, and I haven't reached the ultimate Golden Core stage yet, otherwise he wouldn't have been so rampant!"

Just as Chen Bai had this thought of creating distance, Ling Shouming, in the distance, cried out in surprise:

"How?"

Chen Bai quickly turned his gaze and saw that Chen Heng, who had been trapped in the net, had a cold, sharp look in his eyes.

He exhaled a long breath, grabbed one end of the net rope with each arm, and with a sudden burst of strength, tore it apart, enduring the dense barrage of yin lightning and poisonous fire raining down from the net!
stab-

With a sound like tearing silk, the magical artifact suddenly burst open, and its essence rapidly dissipated outwards.

Finally, it let out a mournful cry, and because its spirit was injured, it had no choice but to turn into a streak of light and fly towards Ling Shouming.

As the owner of the magical artifact, who was connected to his mind and spirit, Ling Shouming also suffered a slight backlash at this time, experiencing blurred vision.

As soon as he turned his attention back, a chill rushed to his eyes, and a flying sword was already aimed at his face!

Ling Shouming remained composed, and suddenly a black ball the size of a pigeon egg leaped out from between his eyebrows, emitting a sound like surging waves, and blocked the Abi Sword in mid-air.

However, before Ling Shouming could release the long-refined baleful energy from the black pill, he temporarily concealed the connection between the flying sword and Chen Heng.

With a flash of crimson light, the flying sword shot straight into the sky.

Following closely behind was a massive, five-colored hand that spread its wings, covering the entire hundred-foot-wide sky and earth, and then slammed it down!
"What a magical power."

Ling Shouming praised it.

He used the "One Nature of Emptiness" technique from the Divine Control Sect, forcing out a wisp of pale white smoke from his seven orifices. He swept it upwards, making the five-colored hand transparent from front to back, causing it to dissipate into billowing mist.

Upon seeing this, Chen Heng flicked his sleeve, and the five-colored mist gathered in the center, condensing back into the shape of a large hand.

Soaring through the winds and stirring up the clouds, its power resounds throughout the azure sky—

Judging from its momentum, it was clearly even stronger than before, so Ling Shouming could only increase his magical power and once again use the "One Nature Emptiness and No Law" to resist it.

After this happened three times, Chen Bai finally used a Yin Blade magic weapon to completely annihilate the five-colored giant hand, allowing Ling Shouming to escape.

The three fought fiercely, clearly giving it their all.

Every clash, whether involving supernatural powers or magical artifacts, was incredibly powerful and astonishing!
Seeing Chen Heng unleash a series of powerful attacks, and in the end, he suddenly adopted an offensive stance with no defensive maneuvering, and recalling that in the earlier contest of magical power, Chen Heng was the first to voluntarily withdraw, it became clear that he was the one who had taken the initiative to stop.

Chen Bai and Ling Shouming both knew this.

Knowing that his magical powers had not yet recovered, Chen Heng did not want to prolong the battle. Instead, he wanted to use overwhelming force to eliminate one of them first, and then deal with the rest slowly.

"How could I allow you to do this!"

Chen Bai sneered inwardly.

He recalled the Yin Blade magic weapon that was entangled with the flying sword, and a tall column of smoke suddenly rose behind him, as majestic as a mountain, straight to the sky, with a grand and solemn aura, like a divine pillar that stabilizes the sea.

As soon as the column of smoke appeared, the void around Chen Bai was tinged with a deep, dark luster, creating a mysterious inner world.

It seemed to be connected to a huge, chaotic hole by a column of smoke, intending to turn the world into darkness.

One of the supernatural powers recorded in the supplementary volume of "The Secret Manual of Langhuan"—

Da Dong Yuan root plant!
This supernatural power has both defensive capabilities and the ability to restore vital energy and replenish magical power.

When the Great Cave Abyss was established, a kind of solid and indestructible array was created to resist external attacks. As long as this supernatural power is not destroyed, Chen Bai can also use the continuous Chaos Essence to restore his magic power.

Such a concept is profound and mysterious, truly deserving of the title "The Secret Manual of Langhuan".

At the same time, Ling Shouming moved just as quickly. With a wave of his hand, countless white bones rose from the ground, forming a sinister city wall. A chilling wind howled and shook, protecting his body within it.

Seeing that both of them adopted a defensive posture, it was clear that they were determined to delay the opportunity.

However, since they were willing to be targets, Chen Heng would not be polite.

He simply unleashed his magic, his sleeves fluttering, and a gentle breeze suddenly blew, lifting his body and slowly rising into the depths of the azure sky.

When they reached a height of a thousand feet, Chen Heng pointed his finger, and dozens of strands of lightning shot out, making a "sizzling" sound.

As the magical power continued to rise, clouds and waves gathered from all directions, and dust and mist filled the sky. Suddenly, a strong wind broke trees and stirred things up incessantly!
"Purple Clarity Divine Thunder!"

Chen Bai looked serious. He hadn't expected that Chen Heng, with his limited magical power, would dare to wield this thunder magic in such a way.

With a thought, the remaining demons leaped up, howling, but before they could get close to Chen Heng, they were torn to shreds by the flickering lightning, leaving not a single one alive.

Before long, Chen Heng had finished preparing.

Looking up, all I could see was the deep, dark sky and howling winds!

A colossal thundercloud hung high in the sky, covering an area of ​​several hundred feet in diameter. Within the thundercloud, countless, blazing lightning bolts could be clearly seen darting about. Every now and then, blinding flashes of light would shoot out, illuminating the world in white.

"go with!"

Chen Heng waved his hand, and the thunderclouds swirled, emitting a series of thunderous booms, as if they were about to cause the sky to collapse and the earth to split open.

Immediately, purple lightning shot out from the clouds, crashing down on Chen Bai and Ling Shouming with the force of a group of dragons emerging from the sea!
……

……

The incessant buzzing sound caused one's eardrums to throb, chest tightness and shortness of breath to swell, and even made one's mind and soul feel disoriented!
At this moment, Chen Bai's Great Cave Abyss Root had already been smashed to pieces, and Ling Shouming's White Bone Divine Power had also been crushed into dust.

The surrounding land looked as if it had been plowed, with deep and shallow ravines crisscrossing the landscape, a shocking sight.

However, just as Chen Bai unleashed the Yin Blade to fight against the Purple Clarity Divine Thunder, a melodious bell suddenly rang out from the Ling Shou Ming place.

A small bronze bell enveloped Ling Shouming's body, transforming into a streak of light. After deflecting the incoming divine lightning, the bell vanished without a trace, piercing through the clouds. "Ling Shouming!"

Zhang Ping'a, who was fighting Yin Ruohua in the distance, changed his expression and cursed inwardly.

Chen Bai's reaction was indifferent, unlike Zhang Ping'a. He seemed to have anticipated Ling Shouming's breakout.

The reason Ling Shouming came here, besides doing Chen Bai a favor, was mainly to compete for the bronze fish in Yin Ruohua's hands.

In reality, there was no personal grudge between Ling Shouming and Chen Heng.

Chen Heng's offensive has now been unleashed in full force, like a raging storm, clearly indicating that he is willing to expend his own energy to eliminate one person.

In this way, Ling Shouming would naturally want to preserve his usefulness and would never use the supreme supernatural power of the Divine Imperial Sect to confront Chen Heng head-on.

The cost of activating a supreme divine power is indeed astonishing. Even Chen Bai would not easily reveal such a trump card unless he was fully confident.

In particular, Chen Bai was studying the Three Corpse Qi of the Innate Demonic Sect—

Although this supreme divine power is extremely powerful, surpassing Xie Tan's Fire Heaven Great Possession and Li Yuwei's Heavenly Gang Golden Light Mantra, compared to the aforementioned two great divine powers, the signs of its activation are quite obvious, and Chen Bai's current level of cultivation makes it difficult to completely conceal them.

If there is a highly perceptive person, they might be able to escape by using a superior escape technique.

Therefore, it cannot be released casually; a suitable time must be found!
"Although Ling Shouming's demise was somewhat premature, he did serve as a restraint, depleting Chen Heng's cultivation..."

While Chen Bai was making hand seals to continue using the Yin Blade to protect his body, he was also using his divine eyes to observe Chen Heng's true strength and weakness.

After a short while, Chen Bai subtly shook his head, abandoning his plan to use the "Three Corpses' Qi".

Firstly, the timing was not right; it was not a good opportunity.

Secondly, even if this method is used to defeat Chen Heng now, there are other Dan Yuan True Persons within the Huang Lao She Ji Tu (Imperial Old God's Map) who are eyeing it covetously. Ling Shouming, Zhou Ying, and Cen Ti are examples of this.

Since there was a chance to take it down with minimal cost, Chen Bai was naturally unwilling to expend any more energy.

"Yin Wuji... Since the start of the Dan Yuan Conference, there has been no news of him whatsoever. Where is he now?"

This thought inexplicably flashed through Chen Bai's mind.

He was able to coordinate with several Dan Yuan True Persons to ambush Chen Heng, but it was hard to guarantee that such a variable wouldn't fall on his own shoulders.

He especially recalled that on the eve of entering the Imperial Altar of State, he had made a special trip to visit Yin Wuji, intending to join forces with him.

But the latter did not respond, only smiled inexplicably, and Chen Bai felt a bad premonition rising in his heart.

But now is not the time to think about it too much—

Sensing that the power of the divine thunder seemed to be waning, Chen Bai did not hesitate. Two mysterious rainbows rose from behind his head, crossing like scissors, and with a fierce slash, he split the thunderclouds in the sky in two!
Then a stream of turbid air followed closely behind, accompanied by endless mournful cries, and suddenly enveloped Chen Heng's body!

In a short while, Chen Bai swiftly channeled his magical power and unleashed two innate demonic techniques.

In their first encounter since the start of the battle, Chen Heng also temporarily avoided direct confrontation and was forced to retreat.

Although Chen Heng concealed it well, Chen Baifa still noticed his subtle signs of weakness.

That makes sense. First, he fought against a group of heroes in Liusha Mountain, and now he has fought to this extent, even scaring away Ling Shouming. Such a record is already incredibly amazing!

If he were in Chen Bai's shoes, he knew it would be extremely difficult for him to do something like that.

Chen Heng is indeed one of the few who have a chance to win the Dan Yuan championship. He possesses supernatural powers that are truly formidable!
"If you were at your peak, I wouldn't have so easily plotted against you..."

In the path of cultivation, the word "companion" is an indispensable element. Although you have found Yin Ruohua to help you, she is a high-grade golden elixir cultivator who has not yet achieved supreme supernatural powers.

What use is she in this Dan Yuan Conference?

Chen Bai shook his head and chuckled softly.

He activated the "Qi-Restricting White Blade" technique that Zhou Shiyuan had used in the East Sea Dragon Palace, and withstood the sword energy attack. He first unleashed the Dharma Void Jade Spirit Light, which was designed to attack the physical body, to weaken Chen Heng's blood and qi.

Then they unleashed all sorts of supernatural powers and magical artifacts, pressing down fiercely from the front!
With all his might, Chen Bai clearly overpowered Chen Heng, gradually bringing the situation under his control.

During this time, Chen Heng also changed his offensive and defeated Zhang Ping'a, who was being held back by Yin Ruohua, so that the former could come to his aid.

But Chen Bai didn't care about this at all. Instead, he seized the opportunity when Chen Heng chased away Zhang Ping'a and struck hard, injuring Chen Heng.

Because Chen Bai also possessed superior escape techniques, although slightly inferior to sword escape, he could still manage to hold off Chen Heng with the help of his supernatural abilities.

Therefore, by the end of this battle, Chen Bai was pressing hard, and the balance of power had shifted.

"A trivial matter!"

After the Yin Blade left his body and slashed at Chen Heng, he saw Yin Ruohua raise her finger and point, and his left arm suddenly felt a sharp pain, and his internal magic power became chaotic and difficult to control.

Chen Bai sneered disdainfully, and a burst of demonic light shone from above. The blue and white energy swept down, violently blasting Yin Ruohua, who couldn't dodge in time, away, blood spilling from the corner of her lips.

Although Chen Bai wanted to know the extent of his injuries, Chen Heng's sword light attacked swiftly, forcing him to swallow the precious pill he had placed under his tongue before brazenly meeting the attack.

This is an extremely rare opportunity.

Once you miss it, you'll never get another chance!

They had finally managed to knock Chen Heng's magic power out of control, and then they had finally managed to set up this trap, catching him completely off guard.

If Chen Bai were to be distracted by other matters at this moment, Chen Heng would be able to escape.

If Chen Heng manages to break through using his sword escape technique and finds a secret place to recuperate from his injuries, he might go directly to Wei Lingjiang and Gu Yi.

Regardless of the reason, if Chen Bai had wanted to deal with Chen Heng back then, it would never have been as easy as it is today.

Since joining the Innate Demonic Sect and cultivating the "Human Taming Scripture," Chen Bai and Chen Yushu were destined to have a similar fate of equal fortune and misfortune.

Don't underestimate Chen Bai just because he holds a significant position in the Innate Demon Sect.

However, there was also fierce competition among Chen Yushu's sons.

People like Chen Zuo, Chen Daozheng, Chen Jin, and Chen Ying were eyeing Chen Bai covetously.

In particular, Chen Zuo, relying on his older age and stronger cultivation, was extremely dissatisfied with Chen Bai's fact that he had also practiced the Human Taming Scripture, regarding it as a thorn in his side.

Chen Bai knew that if he wanted to advance further in the Innate Demon Sect and become a powerful True Immortal, he would definitely need Chen Yushu's support.

Undoubtedly, this incident brought Chen Heng, a promising candidate for the top Dan Yuan title, down from grace, causing him to miss out on that incredible opportunity.

Such actions would naturally delight Chen Yushu, and Chen Bai would also reap endless benefits from them!
As various thoughts flashed through Chen Bai's mind, Chen Heng gradually showed signs of weakness.

suddenly.

Chen Bai abruptly withdrew his hand, his movements suddenly frozen.

His expression suddenly became incredibly complex, a mixture of pale and ashen, with an indescribable look of fear on his face, and his pupils contracted sharply.

"The Blood-Cleansing Divine Needle?!"

Chen Bai stumbled back two steps, his mind in turmoil.

He stared at Chen Heng in astonishment, and in his shock, his thoughts suddenly seemed to break through a layer of fog, and he understood something.

"Damn it! Everything before was just a facade. You did it on purpose to lure me into a trap?!"

"Without Yin Zhenren's help, if I wanted to kill you, I would have to use my trump card, but you are not worthy of me using that divine power."

From the very beginning, my intention was not to expel you, but to kill you.

Chen Heng's voice rang out softly.

Under Chen Bai's furious gaze, Chen Heng calmly unleashed a lightning bolt.

The Yin Blade that had previously forced him to defend himself was no match for it; after taking this one blow, it was deeply embedded in the mountain's belly.

Chen Heng and Chen Bai exchanged a glance across the distance and smiled slightly.
"If I did not do this, how dare you come to see me?"
