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

Chapter 76 War

The mist covered the mountains like a veil, and a red spear light pierced through the swampy mist on the river. The momentum was very strong, and the tip of the spear pointed directly at Chen Xuan's chest.

"Wow!"

Chen Xuan was prepared. He swung the jewel necklace in his hand, and the silver-white chain wrapped around his palm, shining brightly.

He suddenly thrust his palm forward, sweeping the sharp blade of the red tassel spear aside, and silver light and fire splashed. At the same time, his other hand reached out quickly and grabbed the tail of the red tassel spear.

"laugh!"

Chen Xuan snatched the red tasseled spear that could cut through iron like mud, and casually danced a beautiful spear flower, using the Five Elements Qi to wash away the remaining immortal Qi on the spear. He pointed the spear tip at the Demon Suppression Master Huo De on the other side of the river and asked expressionlessly:
"I don't understand. Why are you laughing? You even want to kill me... Do you think this is funny?"

"..."

When Master Huode saw that the Red Tassel Spear had been taken away, his face became serious. He looked to be around forty or fifty years old, and looked very majestic in his red armor, like a veteran who had fought in the battlefield for a long time. But at this moment, his eyes were gloomy.

Because his casual attack was enough to kill a monk who had achieved the third level of enlightenment, but the other party easily blocked it. The speed and strength he displayed in an instant made him extremely surprised.

"A rare person who has achieved transcendence? No wonder he appeared alone in the deep mountains and old forests of the Southern Wilderness, reduced to the company of demons."

Master Huode muttered to himself, secretly alert in his heart. At the same time, with a sharp look in his eyes, he immediately judged Chen Xuan's strength and guessed his situation.

This is a very simple speculation, because there are only a few dozen kinds of magic tricks circulating in the State of Chu.

Orthodox cultivators who only cultivate one kind of immortal qi simply cannot find enough magic tricks with the same qi to practice and obtain the energy to break through the limit of immortality... When most cultivators set foot on the path of immortality, they even have to rely on a large amount of natural treasures to achieve perfect immortality.

For example, the Chu Huogun family in Chiya City only practiced a small firebird trick. If they had not come to the Southern Wilderness to try their luck, they would never have had the chance to transcend to the next level in their lifetime.

This is also true for many Daozang realms.

They specialize in one true scripture and master several kinds of qi magic tricks. The number is not too many and can usually be counted on one hand. A large part of their cultivation is accumulated by swallowing precious trees on land and blood and flesh medicine.

This kind of Daozang realm is not strong in fighting skills and is sometimes jokingly called "Cabbage Daozang".

Why not practice other immortal energy magic tricks?

First, magic tricks are rare, and cultivating the second Qi is twice as difficult. Second, no force will allow its disciples to do this as there are too many hidden dangers.

For example, when encountering the Fire Emperor, cultivators of all sects of immortal Qi can only stand firmly on their side and must not have any second thoughts... You are an orthodox Fire Virtue cultivator, but you also practice Water Virtue Black Qi in secret. You say that you will definitely support the Fire Emperor to become an immortal. Who would dare to believe it?
Their interests are inconsistent, and such people are born rebellious. No force can tolerate them... It is very common for such people to mingle with monsters.

Seeing that the Demon Suppression Division didn't answer his question at all, Chen Xuan sighed, pointed at him, and said:
"You have such low moral standards. It's really regrettable."

I originally thought that the Chu State Demon Suppression Bureau sounded very powerful and would be a reasonable force, but now it seems that the other party also does not take low-level cultivators seriously. They are arrogant and domineering and will kill them at will.

Even worse than the snake demon.

Upon hearing this, Master Huo De scolded him harshly, "Stop rambling on! Do you know what earth-shattering event we're undertaking by entering the Southern Wilderness to hunt down monsters?"

Before he finished speaking, he rose from the ground, and his scarlet figure was like a lion descending to the mortal world, crossing the river and attacking Chen Xuan. The snake demon woman was seriously injured, so he needed to deal with Chen Xuan, who posed a greater threat, first.

"No matter how big the matter is, it has nothing to do with me. You are unreasonable, right? Great!"

Chen Xuan was not afraid at all, and was even happy to hear about the battle. The tip of his spear quickly emitted thousands of cold rays, and the solar energy surged, like white crows turning into white stars and flying out, stabbing at the oncoming Fire Deity from all tricky angles.

Little crow trick!
When he came here today, he had the idea of competing with the great cultivator of Daozang Realm. Since the other party gave him so much face, he didn't need to hold back!
"Bang bang bang!"

Huo De Da Xiu was in mid-air, and the spear light blasted holes in his bright red armor, which were densely packed and horrible to look at.

"You offended the Demon Suppression Bureau over such a trivial matter? You're kidding me, who gave you the guts?"

He was furious. Even if what the other party said was true and he was the one who destroyed the lakeside courtyard, so what?

The Demon Suppression Division even dared to barge in from the Southern Wasteland, so why would they care about such an insignificant matter? Even the great demons of the Southern Wasteland had to turn a blind eye and not give anyone face. It was truly foolish of them to come to their door without knowing their place.

"call!"

The Great Master of Fire Virtue waved his six arms at the same time, and five strange weapons dripping with flames and a red fist whistling through the air attacked Chen Xuan like an overwhelming force. The attack was so fierce, like waves crashing on the shore and rocks piercing through the clouds!
In the river, Zi Lin'er saw the battle and murmured, "No, he didn't lie. He really came here for this..."

She had just been severely beaten for this matter. If she had not taken the initiative to surrender, and the Demon Suppression Bureau had not had the turn to show off its power, she would have had a fierce fight with Chen Xuan!

After all, this was a difficult matter for her to do, because a Daozang Realm demon actually compensated a Transcendental Cultivator. There was no one in the world who was more sincere than her. If this matter were to be made public, everyone would laugh at her...

"You don't have to pay for it, I'll take it myself!"

Chen Xuan also released true fire, and a roaring sound came from his body. The five elements of fairy light burst out, and the tip of the gun pointed out the shadows of ancient beasts, roaring and rushing towards the Fire Deity Master.

"Children's remarks are absurd."

Master Huode sneered, but soon lost his composure. He became more and more frightened as the fight went on, because Chen Xuan was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined. He had six arms to fight with and was very good at close combat, but at this moment, the opponent easily blocked it with a red tassel spear.

The person who broke the limit, just by relying on the physical strength, was several levels higher than the ordinary Daozang realm. Chen Xuan's spear danced like an animated star, and his speed was as fast as a phantom.

"Show off your Daozang!"

Chen Xuan shouted coldly and launched a swift attack. The Huangliang Qi burst out at close range. The spear was like an angry blue dragon, passing through the gaps between the six arms of Huode Daxiu and piercing into his eye socket.

The tip of the gun penetrated an inch, pierced the eyeball, and blood spurted out.

"Wow!"

In an instant, four red arms burst out with unimaginable divine power, stretched out in an instant, and firmly grasped the red tasseled spear, preventing it from moving any further.

"Little monk, you have completely pissed me off!"

A sharp pain erupted in the pupils of the Fire Virtue Master, and he woke up from the trance caused by the Yellow Millet Qi. He was furious because he was forced to let the Hand Acupoint Daozang [Six Asura Arms] control his body.

"Not good!" Zi Lin'er was shocked when she saw this, because not long ago, her skin Daozang [Scales of Ming Snake] was defeated by Daozang of Fire Virtue. "Huh!"

Chen Xuan instantly let go of the red tassel spear, grasped the top-grade purple gold jade bracelet in one hand, and wrapped the semi-finished gem necklace around his other hand. He broke through the road ahead with his fists and struck the four Taoist arms of the Fire Deity Master like a crushing force.

"boom!"

The purple sound waves vibrated, and the Fire Deity Master flew dozens of meters away. His four violently trembling red arms grabbed the ground to stabilize his shaking body.

"Noble Phantasm!"

The Great Master Huo De was bleeding from all seven orifices and screamed in shock.

He looked down and saw that the red wrist armor on his arm was dented with several fist marks, and some were cracked, with sharp iron pieces sticking out and deeply embedded in the flesh.

In the river not far away, Zi Lin'er also felt a strong dizziness and her mind was in a trance. She was extremely shocked because Chen Xuan actually possessed a treasure of extremely high rank.

You know, she can represent part of the forces of the Rain Country and come to form an alliance with the Southern Wilderness. Her background is extremely deep, but she only has a half-finished necklace treasure. In the future, she must find rare high-grade metals and smelt the necklace again to make it a better treasure.

"A wild cultivator in the mountains and swamps actually possesses a treasure. What is his relationship with the great demon of the Southern Wilderness?"

Zi Lin'er murmured to herself, feeling fortunate in her heart. Fortunately, she was a calm snake and good at analyzing the situation. She did not rashly conflict with Chen Xuan, whose background was unknown. Otherwise, she would have fallen into an even more difficult situation.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a series of explosions were heard, and the muscles on the six arms of the Fire Deity Master bulged like dragons and pythons, causing the tops of the wrist armor to explode and fly.

"You, a mere ant, have driven me to this point. You can die with honor."

The Fire Virtue Master exhaled a breath of fire, and countless dense lines of fire spread along his arms. The flames covered his entire body, and nine agile black birds flew around him.

Daozang, fully unleash the power!
Chen Xuan observed his changes and nodded slightly, saying, "This is quite interesting."

He treated the Fire Virtue Overhaul as a sword-testing stone, testing and sharpening his combat power after breaking through the limit.

"boom!"

The Fire Deity attacked, holding the Demon-Slaying Sword in one hand and slashing it down from the air, slashing out a dazzling sword light in the shape of a black bird, which opened a crack of twenty to thirty meters in the ground. The black flames burned the soil directly into transparent crystals.

Chen Xuan had just dodged when a red arm holding a demon-subduing pestle that was as red as hot charcoal came from the side. The air along the way was distorted by the high temperature and heat waves were steaming.

"Demon-subduing pestle? You're a monk!"

Chen Xuan did not hide this time. His palms were covered with five-colored fairy light. The solar Qi, yellow millet Qi, and longevity Qi burst out at the same time, jointly resisting the black phoenix flames. He grabbed the scalding demon-subduing pestle with his five fingers, and tried to take it away with brute force.

"What do you want to do!"

The Great Master of Fire Virtue was stunned upon seeing this, and hurriedly used all six arms to grab the Demon Subduing Pestle, but he was horrified to find that he was not as strong as the other party... Chen Xuan's physical strength alone had nearly 50,000 pounds of strength, and at this moment, with the blessing of the eight kinds of immortal energy, when he burst out with all his strength, it was probably more than 100,000 pounds!
"brush!"

The Great Master of Fire Virtue realized that his physical strength was no match for the person who broke the limit, so he let go immediately and decisively attacked Chen Xuan with various weapons. Swords and sabers flashed, ropes and embroidered balls were thrown at him, accompanied by nine black birds!
"Relying on the abundance of weapons? Melt them all down for me!"

Chen Xuan reacted faster. The moment he grabbed the Demon-Subduing Pestle, he kicked out, kicking Huode Daxiu dozens of meters away. Then he followed up at high speed and smashed the heavy Demon-Subduing Pestle in his face, causing his nose to collapse and his face to be covered in blood.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Xuan stepped on his chest, grabbed the demon-slaying sword and took it away. The sword light slashed out like a crescent arc, cutting off a red arm.

"what!"

The Great Master of Fire Virtue howled miserably, severely wounded. Furthermore, having two of his weapons taken away by Chen Xuan in quick succession, he realized something was amiss. While his Daozang excelled in close combat, the opponent was even more proficient in martial arts, anticipating every move.

"You practice martial arts, you despicable villain!"

Huo De Da Xiu roared, struggled to get up and fled, because Dao Zang sensed the life-and-death crisis and directly led his main body to flee the battlefield at a high speed... The opponent was better at close combat than [Shura Six-Armed] Dao Zang, and his fighting skills were superb, so he was restrained.

He was horrified that he, a great Taoist monk, was defeated by a transcendent monk!
"Are you kidding? I see you're quite skilled in martial arts, too!"

Chen Xuan scolded. It was obvious that the opponent was also proficient in martial arts. The technique of attacking with six arms was very advanced. If you were not careful, you would be hit.

He took advantage of the victory and pursued the enemy, his sword dancing with all his might, the sword light was cold and bright, and his power was like a bull fighting. He expanded the victory and soon cut off the five remaining arms of Huode Daxiu, leaving him like a bare "human stick".

"Chirp!"

Four of the red arms fell to the ground, screaming and making shrill bird calls, jumping around as if they had life. They gave up on rescuing the main body and fled in different directions.

"Monsters and ghosts, even less human than monsters!"

Chen Xuan took off the ancient ox-horn bow on his back, drew his bow and shot four arrows in succession, hitting the four arms one after another and nailing them firmly to the ground. After struggling for a few times, they became motionless, and each of them burst into a flickering flame.

"Wow!"

Huo De Da Xiu was horrified, covered in blood, with only two feet left. In a panic, he tried to jump into the river to escape.

"Go away!"

Upon seeing this, Zi Lin'er immediately displayed his divine power, raising a huge black wave and ferociously driving it ashore.

"The demon relies on the power of the people. If this mission succeeds, your Rain Country will become a desolate desert!"

The Great Master Huo De cursed loudly and was in a miserable state. He could only change direction and continue to escape. Suddenly, a sharp arrow filled with five-colored fairy light flew out from behind with incredible accuracy and knocked off the gorgeous phoenix-wing helmet on his head.

He turned around, his eyes filled with despair.

In the surrounding mountains and fields, more than ten red-armored monks, like balls of flame dancing in the darkness, were gathering around him... But he knew that it was no use.
