Beichen Sword Sect's Headmaster's Secret Records

Chapter 445 Celestial Officials
The Venerable Vulcan of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, wielding the 20mm Dragon Breath Bullet that grants equality to all beings, revolves 6,600 times in a single breath, with boundless compassion to deliver all sentient beings. Even a Nascent Soul True Monarch will be blasted to dust!

However, it still cannot overcome the version's answer: the Great Path of the Gods, the Blood Shadow Clone.

"Da da da da da da-"

"Boom boom boom!"

The eight-legged metal chariot, spewing flames and lightning, was like a huge, ferocious demon, spitting fire and lightning, leaping and bounding, moving left and right, maneuvering and unleashing tons of firepower. At the same time, it hurled several cluster bombs and scattered countless iron arrows and steel balls into the sky, instantly turning the earth into a sea of ​​fire.

"Shh!"

If it were any other cultivator, they might have wanted to see the demon's abilities, but Chen Xuantian naturally wouldn't stay there foolishly. He immediately lunged forward with his blood shadow, transforming into a red ribbon that wrapped around Cang Yun, using him as a human shield in front of him. Then, he transformed into a red blood shadow and withdrew from the area of ​​fire!

"Bang!" A loud crash followed! The metal spider, which had intended to give chase, suddenly had a ten-zhang-long jade ruler appear out of thin air, like a jade disc descending from the sky! It blasted directly at the spider chariot! Forcing the chariot to leap away, it temporarily cut off the battlefield!

Then, swathes of golden and silver leaves swept across, naturally the two from the Xuan Nu Temple began to exert their power. They hid in the formation, made hand seals and summoned their treasures, the Seven Treasures Glazed Pot and the Jade Bottle, and sprayed out towering flames and endless magic runes from the mouth of the pot and the body of the bottle, directly clashing with the spider chariot!
"Da da da!"

The eight-legged chariot immediately changed its target, dodging the trajectory of the talismanic fire while launching the Vulcan cannon cluster bombs toward the micro-dust qi pillar!
"Whoosh whoosh—!"

"Da da da!"

Unexpectedly, the endless barrage of fire and the dense barrage of ammunition bombarded them. The moment they struck the wall of microscopic energy, they were swept around the magic array as if by a strong wind, and then bounced back! This forced the eight-legged chariot into a frantic struggle, making it jump around like a flea in the sea of ​​fire!
"Oh, so you're using their own methods against them? You're using the high-speed rotation of Qi to reflect all the projected matter and energy back, huh? That's interesting..."

A flash of red light appeared, and Chen Xuantian emerged from behind the formation, using Cangyun as a human shield in front of him, while only a blood-red shadow lurked behind, spying on him.

"Put down Cangyun!"

Meanwhile, Cang Ming was busy performing hand seals and spells within the formation to protect it. He had no time to come out and snatch people away, so he could only glare at them angrily and growl like a defeated dog.

"Alright, your junior brother is yours, here you go."

At this moment, Cangyun's chest was shattered and he had already fainted from serious injuries, but his whole body was entangled by faintly visible red lines, and his hands and feet were also held by blood claws. He staggered towards the formation like a puppet on strings.

"Stop! Stop! The Yin-Yang Formation will tear him to pieces!"

Cang Ming roared, but the eight-legged chariot was still firing wildly, and he couldn't shut down the formation, nor could he stop the manipulated Cang Yun from getting closer.

"Oh!"

"what!"

However, to make matters worse, a scream suddenly came from the senior sister. Cang Ming turned his head and saw that the jade bottle had been hit by something, and the bottle was cracked and shattered! The junior sister, Jiang Youying, suffered a severe injury to her divine sense. She screamed, spat out blood, and immediately collapsed to the ground.

"Junior sister!"

Seeing this, the junior sister reacted quickly, throwing away the Crimson Cloud Silk and retrieving the Jade Purification Bottle and the Glazed Pot. While wielding the Boundless Jade Ruler to sweep and strike wildly, forcing the eight-legged chariot back, she frantically took out pills to give her junior sister emergency treatment.

Seeing this, Chen Xuantian stopped and peeked out from behind Cangyun.
"Hey, there's a sniper hiding around. That guy has a countermeasure against cultivators' spiritual sense locking, he's become invisible, and even I can't find his location right now."

"If this continues, you'll all be wiped out! Are you really unwilling to hand over the array diagram in exchange for your junior brother's life? As long as the green hills remain, there's always firewood to burn."

Cang Ming gritted his teeth, glaring angrily at the blood-red shadow.
"Delusion! The Yin-Yang Formation is a secret technique of our sect! How can you so easily give it to the demonic path!"

"Oh!"

Another shot came! This time the bullet wasn't deflected; it went straight through the Qi wall outside the formation and hit Cang Ming's collarbone! Fortunately, the formation weakened most of the bullet's kinetic energy, so it didn't shatter Cang Ming's Dao body. Instead, it was like a heavy punch that made him tremble all over, the bullet shattered, and left streaks of blood on his neck!
Chen Xuantian gave a sneer.

"Heh heh, it seems your skills are lacking, and you haven't mastered the sect's secret techniques yet."

Actually, the rate of fire of this shot isn't much better than that of the Vulcan cannon, but it's silent, the trajectory is undetectable, and you can't calculate how it bounces off, right?

But you're pretty good at math, right? Couldn't you have predicted you'd be facing certain death?

Cang Ming closed his eyes, gritted his teeth,

"Very well! I am willing to break the seal and return the Blood God Child from the cauldron to you! Please, Your Excellency, spare our lives!"

Chen Xuantian rolled his eyes.

"Are you stupid? That cauldron is mine no matter what. You're trying to trade my things for your life?"
"You'd better hand over the array diagram. I don't have the patience to haggle with you..."

"Oh!"

"what--!"

As if to help Cang Ming make up his mind, another shot hit him. This time it was a special bullet. The moment the magazine shattered, a large amount of acid was splashed out, directly covering Cang Ming's face and body! It sizzled and emitted blue smoke, burning and corroding his entire body. Cang Ming was in so much pain that he covered his eyes and rolled on the ground.

The formation was broken.

"Brother!"

Seeing this, the junior sister tore off the golden bell that tied her hair and threw it to the ground. Suddenly, a golden light aura rose up and enveloped everyone.

"Da da da da da da-!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The next second, the eight-legged chariot unleashed its full firepower, raining down bullets like they were free, engulfing everyone in a sea of ​​fire.

Seeing this, Chen Xuantian could only shake his head and sigh. With a flash of blood, he wrapped himself in a cloud of clouds and dodged away from the hail of bullets.

The Emei sect's hesitation caused them to miss their chance, but the company's side had some skills too; they flattened the four Nascent Soul cultivators with a wave of their hands.

Moreover, that sniper was quite something; he not only had optical camouflage but also shielded himself from mental lock-on. Even Chen Xuantian couldn't react to the first shot.

But after firing so many shots like in target practice, if you still can't tell, you're blind. Is it hidden under those ruins...?

"Zhi!"

While engrossed in his search, Chen Xuantian suddenly froze, then looked down at the golden Qi sword piercing out from his chest.

What is this...?

"The golden crow sinks into the sea of ​​clouds, a single sword shatters the primordial chaos! The Nine Swords of Emei! The Golden Summit rises with the sun!"

"Oh!"

The sword light swept diagonally upwards, suddenly accelerating midway. The sword light burst forth like a golden sun leaping out, blazing fiercely and unstoppable. In just an instant, it shattered the blood-soaked robe and the blood-covered curtain in the sky, scattering in all directions!

"Wow!"

The yellow-faced youth, who had fallen from the sea of ​​blood, knelt on one knee. He hissed and gasped for breath, and then a billowing purple smoke rose from the gaping wound in his chest! In an instant, dense muscles, like vines and a net, sprouted and wove together to heal the hole in his chest!
"The ancient tree, Hongchun, is eight thousand years old. The morning rain nourishes all living beings. I am the Hongchun tree, my life cycle is eternal! The Hongchun is immortal!!"

"call!"

Then the boy raised his arm and firmly caught the broken sword falling from the sky. "Boom—!"

The next instant, a sonic boom erupted, and blade energy swirled amidst billowing smoke! A straight line charged towards the sniper in the ruins!

"Oh!"

Realizing he had been spotted, the sniper abandoned all pretense of concealment and launched himself out of the rubble with a super jump! He fled at top speed!

"Da da da!"

The eight-legged chariot sensed something was wrong! It quickly turned to sweep its head around! But it was too late!

"Snowflakes fly over Daping! A sword falls from the frosty sky! The Nine Swords of Emei! Snowflakes fall over Daping!"

"Wow!"

A flash of light, and the purest, most pristine swordplay cleaved through the wind and snow! A single sword strike seemed to freeze space itself, encasing the sniper in mid-air! One strike, two severings! Four severings! Five, six, seven, eight severings! Reduced to dust! Annihilated into ice shards!

"Da da da!"

The eight-legged chariot, pulling the Vulcan cannon, swept across! Like a winding fire serpent, it lunged and pounced at the yellow-faced youth who had exhausted his strength, kneeling on the ground leaning on his sword, panting heavily! It was about to annihilate him to ashes!

"Ping!"

Then, one hand firmly gripped the barrel of the Vulcan cannon, locking the turret in place. The tank's detection probe spun around sharply, revealing a face disfigured by acid corrosion, covered in blood, and with bones exposed, Cang Ming had somehow appeared before them. His eyes, blinded by the heat, were wide open, his hand raised high, sword light gleaming like stars being plucked from the sky.

"The sun rises above the summit, the Heavenly Gang breaks mountains and rivers, the Nine Swords of Emei, the Heavenly Gang at the summit."

With a single palm strike, the sword light burst forth, man and sword becoming one, transforming into a dazzling pillar of light that reached the heavens and the earth! It drew upon the power of the celestial sphere! Before the sword even arrived, its imposing force preceded it, overwhelming everything with the overwhelming might of heaven and earth! All laws were shattered, all evil was annihilated, a single sword strike could cut through iron and cleave gold! It cleaved the eight-legged chariot in two!

"Boom!"

The shattered chariot transformed into a rumbling cloud of fire, billowing Cangming's Taoist robe.

"Crack!"

The falling ice shards cracked into rolling icy winds, lifting the hem of the clouds' garments.

However, the two remained silent, turning their heads to look at the blood-red shadows gathering in the clouds.

"Emei, that's interesting..."

Chen Xuantian wasn't in a hurry to rush into battle against this rookie team of useless idiots. Instead, he swept up the blood-red wind and used his Blood Shadow Divine Speed ​​to soar into the sky, looking towards the horizon.

Rolling dark clouds pressed in from the horizon, and a rusty wind blew through the air. When I opened my eyes, I thought it was just endless mountain shadows, but in the blink of an eye, the rolling torrent of iron swept in like an avalanche or a tsunami.

Tens of thousands of cavalrymen galloped in to the thunderous beat of drums, like a surging tide of a thousand rivers, or a black dragon sweeping across the land. They rushed in from all directions, surrounding Liang Du in their army formation. A large number of scouts and light cavalry were dispatched to circle the outer walls of the capital, planting banners and flags, clearly rapidly forming ranks and setting up camp. As he looked closer, he saw soaring demonic energy and imposing aura, as if welcoming his challenge, bursting forth in countless forms—hundreds of demon gods, if counted.

Seeing this scene and glancing at the surrounding military forces, Chen Xuantian knew without even needing to mentally calculate that he was now like a mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Even if he forcibly seized the Blood Cauldron, he wouldn't have time to digest it. Immediately, he withdrew his boundless blood-red hand, and suddenly a curtain of blood-red fabric was torn away, wrapping around his body like a crimson cloak. He then regained his composure, raised his head from beneath the blood-red robe, and coldly shouted,

"Hide your head and show your tail! Come out!"

In the silence, a series of light ripples suddenly appeared in the blood pool before Chen Xuantian, accompanied by the sound of light footsteps, as if some colorless and formless person was walking on blood, approaching step by step.

Chen Xuantian remained silent, following the approaching, boneless footsteps, his eyes fixed on the true form of the visitor, whose blood qi slowly turned crimson and gradually revealed itself as the light and shadow rippled like water.

At first glance, it appears to be a naked, faceless woman.

Upon closer inspection, however, she was not actually faceless; she was merely wearing a black mask. Her skin, resembling black and gray snake scales, was tightly bound to her body. The fine scales scattered multicolored black light, like raven feathers, highlighting the beautiful curves of her body. Her waist meandered like a snake, and her chest and hips were as soft as cream. Her pelvis and thighs were clearly humanoid, but the bones of her limbs were quite different from those of a human. Her elbows were folded in front of her chest like a praying mantis, and her forearms were replaced by a black and gray metal exoskeleton. Her bent knees were equipped with sickle-shaped sharp claws, resembling the hind limbs of some kind of sauroid predator.

Is it the company dog?

Although Chen Xuantian didn't know the specific model, he could tell that it was a combat wet component of the company, with a full-body cybernetic modification. It was an assassin-type warrior with some kind of optical camouflage, and it was obviously designed to be invisible against the frequency of cultivators' spiritual sense detection. The RSC reflective surface was extremely small. Even with Chen Xuantian's primordial spirit technique and spiritual sense strength, he could only barely capture a phantom image. It was better to use blood qi to stain it, which would make it clear to the naked eye.

According to the information obtained from the company's section chief, lower-level employees generally do not have the authority or credit points to exchange for equipment of this level. Considering that operations and management personnel usually do not work on the front lines, this person in front of him is probably a senior executive who has worked through at least ten different sequences. The fact that he was able to sneak up to him is indeed a testament to his skill.

However, since the other party has already discovered his true form, but did not choose to snipe him directly like they did with Emei, it's unclear whether the Blood God's resurrected body was seen and they knew they couldn't kill him, or if they had other plans and intended to try diplomacy first and then resort to force...

"Demons? Celestial Palace?"

So Chen Xuantian pretended to be stupid and asked the question even though he already knew the answer.

Company dog ​​way,

"Who I am is irrelevant. Why don't you take action and rescue your followers?"
"I fear that if we delay any longer, all of your sect's Blood God Sons will be refined."

Chen Xuantian sneered.
"So what if it dissolves? It's none of my business. It's a good opportunity to replenish my energy."

The company employee was taken aback, not expecting these members of the demonic sect to be so cold-blooded and ruthless. He then probed further,
"If that's the case, wouldn't all your sect's efforts in going to war and setting up the Ten Deadly Formations have been in vain?"
If the leader of the venerable sect were to question why the Duan family refused to come to their aid, how would you respond?

"Now that the Xuanmen sect is powerful and the Emei sect is arrogant, why don't we join forces?"

Chen Xuantian laughed heartily.
"What a load of bull! It was just a deal made privately by that Dongfang Diao Ren and the governor of Suiyang. They were outmatched and got captured. What does it have to do with the Duan family? Don't try to intimidate me with that coward Zheng Shanyin! I don't care!"

The company's employees were speechless. They never expected Duan Tie to be so arrogant, watching his followers suffer and even calling the leader by his name. They were completely dumbfounded.

Chen Xuantian also grabbed the man, the blood on the ground transforming into claws, and firmly grasped his waist, pulling him close. His slender eyes, glowing red beneath his blood-stained robe, stared intently at him.

"Enough with the nonsense, what exactly are you? Are you human or ghost? Demon or monster?"

The company dog ​​wasn't afraid, letting Bloodclaw twist its waist, gently tap the helmet, open the visor, and sure enough, a woman's face was revealed.
"The celestial palace has lost its deer, and the world is chasing after it. We are celestial officials descended to earth to assist the holy ruler in ascending the throne and changing dynasties."

Since ancient times, emperors have been those with strong armies and powerful horses. Since the small city of Suiyang is not in Your Majesty's eyes, why not submit to the Heavenly King and bring these twelve kingdoms under your command?

Your Excellency single-handedly repelled the Emei demons, demonstrating your formidable strength. I am willing to recommend you for the position of Pillar of State General.

"If you simply agree, rare and precious treasures will be within your grasp, and even the granting of land and fiefdoms is not out of the question."

Chen Xuantian sneered, his blood-red claws gripping his waist.

"You really underestimated me. Did you think you could take me in as a dog with such small favors? Believe me or not, I could slap your king to death."

To everyone's surprise, the company dog ​​remained completely fearless. A glint of silver light flashed in his eyes as he scanned the man beneath the blood-stained robe and chuckled.
"The Daoist puppet that Your Excellency seized is a hybrid dragon, isn't it? Has it become increasingly unruly and difficult to control recently due to its growing cultivation? Now, after a great battle with Emei, it is almost impossible to manage."

"...Do you have a solution?"

"Of course. It's just a small gift, nothing special."

The company dog ​​flicked his finger, and a refrigerated metal tube popped out from between his elbows.

"This is a dragon-slaying vaccine, hmm, a dragon-slaying pill. As long as you insert it into the heart, it can destroy the dragon soul gene and completely transform this body into your puppet."
