From a martial arts disciple to a god through countless trials and tribulations

Chapter 101 Pursuit
Chen Xuan looked at the fierce fighting on the battlefield. He liked and was good at close combat, but Xiao Huo and others and the Dragon Girl were proficient in using immortal energy, and their fight was very entertaining.

"Whoa!"

The dragon girl plucked the bowstring with her bare hands, and the rich black energy of the water turned into thousands of fairy arrows, like a black cloud, covering the earth like a storm.

Each immortal energy arrow has the power to penetrate gold and split rock. When it hits the ground, it will explode a large pit more than one meter deep, and the scent of water will fill the air.

"The immortal energy in the dragon girl's body is inexhaustible!" A monk from the Demon Suppression Division dodged the attack in panic and was hit by an arrow. In an instant, half of his body was gone, and he was covered in blood and flesh. He was seriously injured.

The Dragon Girl had repeatedly used large-scale attacks that consumed a lot of energy, but at this moment, she still had the energy left to use a terrifying killing move, which was shocking.

"Hmph, a mere trifle, the red qi transforms into wings!"

Flame wings more than ten feet long stretched out from Xiao Huo's back, and he flew into the air. On his hands, balls of [Blue Lotus Earth Fire] were like peerless fairy lotuses blooming in the sky, crushing the rain of arrows with overwhelming force.

He hovered above the heads of the demon-suppressing monks, resisting the dragon girl's attacks, like a god who protected them from the wind and rain.

Chen Xuan's eyes widened, and he thought to himself, "Red Qi transforming into wings, this person is very proficient in using immortal Qi."

He was very surprised. Ordinary Qi practitioners could only use the power of immortal Qi in a crude way. There was only one in ten thousand people like Xiao Huo who could control immortal Qi to form a pair of wings.

"Emperor Jiang cannot leave Shangyang Cave Heaven. The Chu State is declining and will be divided. Don't you want a way out?"

The Dragon Girl's face turned pale as she said, "If you now turn to the Rain Country, I will grant you a bright future and help you establish a new human family in the future!"

Although she was in poor condition and at a disadvantage, she spoke with confidence, facing a group of Taoist monks alone, and her momentum was not inferior at all. She even tried to sow discord.

Chen Xuan knew that what the Dragon Girl said was not a lie.

He had come into contact with the snake demon Zi Lin'er. There were some demons in the Rain Country who believed that their ancestors had enslaved humans too much and that the status of humans needed to be improved in the future. The Dragon Girl also belonged to this group of demons.

"You are misleading the people with your lies. That's why the Demon King of Yu Country can't leave Shangyang Cave Heaven!" A hot-tempered cultivator retorted harshly.

"Catch you, the bargaining chip that the Rain Nation is afraid of, and make great achievements. Today is the day!"

"Just defeat the dragon lady and the other monsters. There are other enemies to deal with."

But there are also some people who think that it is enough to drive away and defeat the dragon girl and other monsters, and there is no need to kill them all.

Firstly, the Dragon Girl still had some strength left, and if they killed and pursued her by force, they would surely suffer heavy casualties. Secondly, some people secretly believed that the State of Chu was really doomed. If the State of Rain took over Chu in the future and settled accounts with them afterwards, everyone present would be in trouble.

Chen Xuan thought to himself, "The Dragon Girl is really not doing well. Showing weakness is not something she should do given her status and position."

The Dragon Girl smiled and said, "You all arrived first, and we have the help of great monks from outside. I admit defeat this time, but if you can help me, I will reward you handsomely when we meet again in the future."

The origins of the cultivators in the Demon Suppression Division are very complex. Most of them are independent cultivators in the mountains and swamps, and a small number are disciples from aristocratic families and sects.

At this moment, some people, upon hearing the Dragon Girl's overtures, clearly had second thoughts. Although they wouldn't directly turn against her, it would be beneficial to establish a good relationship with her.

Xiao Qi took a deep breath, staring at the monks from the Demon Suppression Division who had different expressions on their faces, and said in a deep voice:

"Continue fighting, or go back to fight the [Human Emperor Banner] Heng Gu, it's up to you all to decide."

He was just a helper in the battle, and he only cared about fighting. He would not rashly interfere with the decisions of the people in the Demon Suppression Bureau. If what they said made sense, he would just do it.

The monks from the Demon Suppression Division discussed for a moment and exchanged a few words using the communication talisman. Someone asked Xiao Hou with a serious expression:
"Brother Xiao, do you have any method to protect your soul and deal with the [Human Emperor Banner]'s Heng Gu?"

Xiao Qiong nodded when he heard the voice and replied calmly, "Yes."

He gently twirled the black ring on his finger, muttering to himself with a hint of pride, "I have also cultivated a strange fire called [Bone Spirit Cold Fire], which can protect the soul and overcome plague."

His master taught him an ancient fighting technique that could be used to refine strange fire. It was extremely difficult to practice and required the use of a large number of fire spiritual objects. This was one of the important reasons why he came to Chu.

The monk from the Demon Suppression Division was immediately overjoyed and said, "In that case, Brother Xiao might as well let the Dragon Girl go for the time being, conserve your fighting strength, and join us in fighting against the [Human Emperor Banner] Heng Gu!" Xiao Hou had previously fought with the Dragon Girl of the Rain Country and other demons, and both sides suffered serious injuries.

In the end, the Dragon Girl was defeated.

Xiao Hu and others turned back without stopping to look for Heng Gu who was slaughtering other monks from the Demon Suppression Division.

"call!"

The dragon girl's face suddenly flushed, her internal injuries surged, she swallowed the fishy and salty taste in her mouth, then she walked into the woods helplessly and lonely.

"The cultivators from the Chu State Demon Suppression Division arrived in large numbers, and I was eliminated early."

She was unwilling to give up, but the Southern Wilderness was closer to Chu, and Jiang Qinghuang had a huge advantage. Once she was in danger, people from all over the world would come to rescue her.

"Where on earth did this foreign cultivator who used strange fire come from? He's even more despicable than Chen Xuan!"

The Dragon Girl thought gloomily. First Chen Xuan intervened, and then Xiao Hu blocked her. Her luck was not much better than Jiang Qinghuang's. Every time she was just a little short of success, and ultimately failed.

She didn't notice that in the distance, there was a pair of bright eyes moving rapidly with her body.

"It didn't quite get going, that's all...it's my turn."

Chen Xuan thought with regret in his heart. He observed for a long time and determined that the Dragon Girl was strong on the outside but weak on the inside. She had just been fighting with Xiao Hu and others and had been holding on.

"Wow!"

He was originally hiding in the direction where the Dragon Girl retreated, not far from her retreating direction. At this moment, his figure was like a ghost in the dark night, approaching silently.

In the distance, on a mountain, monsters like Zi Lin'er were covered in scars and were anxiously waiting for the Dragon Girl's return.

"There are too many tricks and surprises. In the future, if we want to annex the State of Chu, we must do so with an upright and fair force."

As the Dragon Girl moved forward, she reflected on what she had encountered in the past few days. Killing Jiang Qinghuang was a correct plan, but when she put it into practice, she encountered countless unexpected troubles that continued one after another.

As she was thinking this, she suddenly felt a start in her heart and turned around abruptly.

"who is it!"

The dragon girl's eyes were like ice, with brilliant and gorgeous lightning flashing. She was very sensitive and had a strange feeling of being stared at, as if a prehistoric beast on the hunt had locked onto her.

Is someone from the Demon Suppression Bureau chasing us?

Or someone else?
But in her sight, there was silence, no one around, only the faint chirping of insects.

The dragon girl felt a chill in her heart. She turned around and immediately quickened her pace, moving forward quickly. However, the feeling of being stared at became stronger and stronger.

"Wow!"

She turned back in horror again, and this time, she saw her pursuer!
"It's you!"

Chen Xuan no longer hid his tracks. He was only two or three hundred meters away from the Dragon Girl. It was useless to hide his tracks deliberately. He would be discovered sooner or later.

He was getting faster and faster, and with every step he took, his momentum grew. Brilliant immortal light and surging blood and energy rose from his body, and he was like a tiger baring its fangs at its chosen prey.

"it's me!"

Chen Xuan's face was cold. As he walked forward, he reached into the treasure of the Mountain and River Scroll and grasped the old turtle's severed hand.
