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

Chapter 98 The Human Emperor Banner

Chen Xuan's body suddenly tensed up, and the divine bow was pointed at him, making him feel as if he was being locked by a prehistoric beast.

The Dragon Girl is angry...

The Dragon Girl is a rare master in the Daozang realm. The peerless treasure in her hand was forged using the remains of the corpse of the powerful Dinglu. Its power is beyond imagination and it is full of oppression.

"lie!"

The dragon girl's delicate face was covered in dirt, her chest heaving violently, and she was almost exploding with anger. The rock attack didn't do much damage, but this childish attack still hit the dragon's most private part, the dragon's horn, which was full of humiliation:

"You have killed the Great Master of the Demon Suppression Division. There is no place for you in the State of Chu. It is unreasonable for you to help Jiang Qinghuang!"

She gritted her teeth, unable to understand why Chen Xuan suddenly took action.

Moreover, she was of noble status. Even Jiang Qinghuang could only sit with her in the vast land of hundreds of thousands of miles. But at this moment, a humble young man from the mountains and rivers actually threw a broken stone at her!

Chen Xuan held the hard rock in his hand, his expression neither humble nor arrogant, and said in a calm tone:
"It's just a skipping stone, Princess of the Rain Country. I just made a mistake."

Although they were separated by a lake and two or three hundred meters away, both sides were Taoist monks with sharp eyes and ears, and could hear each other's words clearly.

"Sophisticated remarks!"

The dragon girl's eyes were filled with mist and rain, and for the first time in her life, she felt an indescribable sense of grievance. She scolded:

"I felt sorry for you because your cultivation was not easy, so I let you go, but you threw a broken stone at me. That's too much."

She had previously noticed that Chen Xuan had extraordinary talent, and since he had a grudge against the State of Chu, she took the initiative to show goodwill. When Chen Xuan took the old turtle's severed hand and the treasure ashore, she did not shoot him with an arrow!
This is almost a tacit withdrawal from competing for this opportunity.

But the other party not only did not appreciate it, he even attacked her. If it was really a ruthless and fatal attack, she could still accept it, but the other party used a small stone to make her covered in dirt. What else could this be but intentional humiliation!
Chen Xuan tilted his head and said:

"I told you that you didn't believe me, yet you still asked. You, Dragon Girl, are really hard to please... You ruined my plans by shooting me with an arrow earlier, and I haven't come to terms with you yet!"

The Dragon Girl became even more furious upon hearing this. This was a strange experience she had never encountered in her demon life. She said angrily:

"You're avoiding the topic. Do you really think I won't get angry?"

She was certain that Chen Xuan was stalling for time in order to save Jiang Qinghuang, so she drew an arrow, lightning flashed, and used her divine bow to attack directly: "I have nothing more to say to you."

Dragons are among the proudest creatures in the world. Those who obey me prosper, those who disobey me perish. She had rarely shown any kindness by actively lowering her head, but the other party continued to be dismissive. How could she act like a little girl and continue to pester him? She had to teach him a painful lesson.

"Zheng!"

Lightning flashed.

"!!!" Chen Xuan's scalp tingled. The moment the Dragon Girl drew her arrow, he threw the rock in his hand, but the other Rain Country monsters who had been prepared cast a spell and shattered the rock. He had no choice but to turn around and flee into the jungle immediately.

"boom!"

The arrow was like a lightning dragon, crossing the lake, smashing the big trees along the forest, and plowing out a charred road seven or eight hundred meters long and hundreds of meters wide.

Electric snakes danced wildly and lightning raged in the forest. After more than ten breaths, the surging power of thunder and lightning gradually subsided, leaving only the raging fire burning on the trees on both sides of the road.

The dragon girl wiped away the dust on her face with her fingers, her eyes like water, and turned around and said, "Let's go."

A demon whispered, "Your Highness, the remains of Turtle Mountain Master..."

The Dragon Girl glanced at it and said coldly, "Do you think that human is dead? If he is so useless, why would I look up to him?"

As they spoke, the demons rushed towards the area where the Phoenix bird had crashed.

Chen Xuan intervened to disrupt the situation. The Dragon Girl was furious and lost the best chance to kill Jiang Qinghuang. At this moment, the Phoenix bird with its wings pierced fell into the forest in the mountains with Jiang Qinghuang, and was no longer a living target for the Dragon Girl's shooting.

"Crack!"

After a while, the charred ground began to wriggle and crack, and a dark figure crawled out from underground.

"Ahem! I have a bad temper and get angry easily."

Chen Xuan coughed out a large puff of thick smoke. The power of his peerless treasure was earth-shattering. Although he escaped from the center of the damage range, he was still affected by some of the residual power.

This is the ultimate power of thunder that can directly wipe out even Jiang Qinghuang and the twelve great masters of the Demon Suppression Bureau.

Although the power of the arrow shot by the Dragon Girl was not as strong as the one that killed Jiang Qinghuang before, the momentum was also shocking enough to kill an ordinary Taoist monk... Chen Xuan once again realized that the power of the magic bow he could use was getting weaker and weaker.

"Luckily, I cultivated Earth Virtue Yellow Qi and took shelter deep underground at the last moment, avoiding most of the lightning strikes. Combined with the Five Elements Qi neutralizing the damage, I didn't suffer serious injuries."

Chen Xuan activated the Wood Virtue Green Qi to heal his injuries and wash away the dust on his body.

He looked towards the lake in the distance, and the figures of the dragon girl and other monsters disappeared.

"Jiang Qinghuang, I can't help you more. Just wish you the best."

Chen Xuan sighed. "After such a long time, and the fall, Jiang Qinghuang would wake up, right?"

He had a faint admiration for Jiang Qinghuang in his heart. If he could help, he would help, but if he couldn't help, he would not force it. After all, the relationship between the two was not close.

"The Dragon Girl has a peerless treasure, so I'm no match for her for now... If I can somehow seize the divine bow treasure, then, well, I'll just be missing a weapon to fight the enemy from a distance."

Chen Xuan muttered to himself, and the ancient bow and arrow he had obtained from the Peach Blossom Spring melted.

At this moment, he was not only fascinated by Jiang Qinghuang's [Phoenix Sutra], but also drooling over the divine bow in the hands of the Dragon Girl...

Although he deliberately provoked and ruined the Dragon Girl's plan, she was just as ruthless and must pay the price for it in the future!
"somebody is coming."

At this moment, his heart suddenly tightened and he heard the sounds of fear from the surrounding grass and trees.

He immediately entered the forest and hid behind a big tree. He restrained his breath and merged with the grass and trees, revealing only half of his face, his eyes looking in a certain direction.

"tread!"

On one side of the lake, faint footsteps were heard.

A figure strolling leisurely walked out of the garden. It was a young man in his twenties, wearing a Five Mountains Jade Crown on his head and a gray-black feather robe. His face was handsome, but he exuded a pale and sickly aura, even a hint of death.

The young man inspected the traces of battle around the lake. His eyes were deep and terrifying, and his expression was serious, giving off a gloomy feeling that no one should enter.

"Is this person seriously ill? He looks even sicker than Chu Qingling's consumptive cousin."

Chen Xuan examined the man, his gaze landing on his hand. "What's that thing... a banner? Is this man using funeral items as weapons?"

The young man held a golden and white banner-shaped weapon about ten feet tall. A faint grayish-white human face danced around the banner, revealing a gloomy and terrifying smile. On the white banner, two large ancient seal characters were embroidered with gold thread, in a flamboyant and graceful style:

Emperor!

"Human Emperor Banner?"

Chen Xuan was stunned when he saw this, and then he felt a chill. The weapon that was suspected to be named [Human Emperor Banner] had the vast power to devour the three thoughts of a person's soul. Just one look at it seemed to suck him into an empty shell.

"Weird."

He quickly looked away. There was no doubt that this person was the one who attacked Jiang Qinghuang.

"He is very powerful, more dangerous than Jiang Qinghuang and Long Nu. Stay away from him for the time being."

Chen Xuan hid behind a tree and waited patiently for the man to leave. At this moment, his expression suddenly became serious.

In the field of vision, the black cat ran at a high speed towards the path the man with the banner came from. The black fog surged, swallowing up the rotten remains of the monks from the Demon Suppression Division along the way.

Little Hell is coming!
"Buzz!"

A silver-white light shone from the black cat's neck, and the small jade book slowly turned, revealing countless small ancient seal characters.

"In the ruins of the ancient Peach Blossom Spring, the emissary of Hou Tu's underworld discovered the list of immortal species destined for heaven—the Thirteen Demonic Cats of the Taiyin Dao."

Chen Xuan followed Xuan Mao's gaze and looked down.

"In the 3601st year of the Ancient Chu Bird Calendar, on the 21st day of the Jia month, the Heavenly Mandate [Human Emperor Banner] Heng Gu sneaked into the Southern Wilderness..."

The auspicious month is March.

Following this column of golden writing, there are more seal characters:

"The ten directions are ablaze with blood. The [Human Emperor Banner] is on a killing spree. Humans, demons, and other humanoid creatures are all used as nutrients for the Human Emperor Banner, and their souls and spirits are transformed into spiritual crystals..."

The black cat stared at the words on the jade book, baring its teeth and screaming angrily:
"This kind of destiny of eating food, just after Yan Yushu passed away, here comes Heng Gu! The three thoughts of the soul were all eaten by the [Human Emperor Banner]. The small underworld can't get much useful things!"

Over there, the Black Cat Queen was cursing, and over here, Chen Xuan's heart was already trembling.

[Human Emperor Banner].

In myths and legends, the Human Emperor Banner symbolizes the supreme aura of the Human Emperor and possesses mysterious powers. It is a divine artifact that dominates life and death and controls the heaven and earth.

It has the ability to influence and absorb the spirit, soul, essence and spirit of human beings and transform them into spiritual crystals. This spiritual crystal can be used to enhance the strength of the holder's soul.

Jiang Qinghuang was a conspicuous target in the air before, and he must have been affected by the Human Emperor Banner because he was not careful enough. As a result, he became a lifeless ghost!
"Human Emperor Banner, spiritual crystallization..."

Chen Xuan vaguely realized how he had solved the problem of his physique and aptitude in his previous life!
now.

This destiny [Human Emperor Banner] named Heng Gu was only a few hundred meters away from him.

After checking the traces of battle around the lake, the man holding the banner seemed to have sensed something and turned to look towards where Chen Xuan was hiding.
