Three Kingdoms: Start by marrying Cai Yan, then vie for supremacy.

22

These days, she has encountered a series of dangers, which has made her feel uneasy.

Now all she can think about is rescuing her master as soon as possible, and the only one who can help her is Xu Chen.

"You should only look for it if you don't know!" Xu Chen suddenly stopped as he walked through the dense forest, releasing Chu He and placing one hand on the hilt of the Crimson Sky Sword. "Come out! This evil aura can be smelled from eight hundred miles away!"

Chu He was so frightened that she scurried behind a tree.

She was all too familiar with the evil aura—it was the aura of the evil god, the mortal enemy of the Five Elements Sect! Having witnessed the ferocity of the evil general, she still felt lingering fear.

In an instant, a cloud of purple mist surged in from all directions like ghosts, coalescing into a human shape in front of Xu Chen.

"Ke Tu!" Xu Chen's expression was solemn.

Sima Hui had warned him that this was the strongest evil general under the evil god, whose strength was unfathomable.

What's even more troublesome is that this person has awakened the power of inheritance, and his cultivation level is unknown.

Xu Chen's hands, gripping the Crimson Sky Sword, were beaded with sweat. Facing a formidable enemy like Ke Tu, he had absolutely no confidence in winning.

"It's a pity that Ketu can't hear what you're saying."

"

He's fast asleep.

"

Upon hearing that familiar voice from Ke Tu, Xu Chen's tense expression relaxed slightly.

He knew perfectly well that the person standing before him was the true form of an evil god.

After several encounters, this evil god never showed any murderous intent towards him.

This is why Xu Chen found it increasingly difficult to understand the other party's intentions.

The unknown is what is most frightening.

"It seems you're not surprised by my appearance?"

The evil god looked at Xu Chen with great interest, his gaze wandering over him before finally settling on the Crimson Sky Sword at his waist.

He could clearly sense Xu Chen's rapid progress in cultivation—a growth rate that was truly astonishing.

Even the evil god was moved by it.

"Even the inner workings of Shennongjia couldn't stop you, so what's so surprising about you coming all this way to find me?"

"Just say it, what brings you here?"

"I know you're searching for an inextinguishable flame, but I imagine you're clueless about it?"

Instead of wandering around like a headless fly, let me show you the way.

"

"You even know I'm looking for the Undying Flame?" Xu Chen narrowed his eyes. "Is there anything in this world you don't know?"

The evil god chuckled upon hearing this:

There is nothing new under the sun.

What you are doing has been done by predecessors, is being done by people today, and will be done by many more people in the future.

"

"So what's so surprising about knowing your plans?"

Having said that, the evil god lightly raised his right palm, and a purple ball of light slowly entered Xu Chen's brow.

In an instant, a massive amount of information flooded into Xu Chen's mind like a burst dam.

The stinging pain felt like a thousand needles piercing my brain!

Suddenly, a scene of a sea of ​​fire appeared before Xu Chen's eyes.

The entire pool was ablaze with raging flames, with a dark golden flame hovering above it.

Looking at this scene for too long caused my eyes to start to burn, as if flames were constantly scorching my eyeballs.

Xu Chen hurriedly withdrew his divine sense and saw the burly Ke Tu looking at him with a half-smile.

"What? You can't handle it already?"

"You must understand that what you just saw was merely an illusion of an inextinguishable fire."

"

"The true, inextinguishable fire possesses power far exceeding this!"

"Of course, whether you can actually meet him is another matter."

"

"As far as I know, there is also a fierce fire beast guarding the undying fire."

"

"With your current strength, you are no match for it."

"

"unless......"

The evil god gave Xu Chen a meaningful look, his eyes flashing with a strange light.

"Otherwise what?"

"Unless you can awaken the full power of the Crimson Sky Sword and unleash its true might!"

"If it really comes to that, there will probably be very few people in the world who can rival you."

"

"However, we are still far from being able to deal with the Fire Beast. But just a little bit of the sword's power will be enough."

"

"As for whether you can awaken the Crimson Sky Sword, that depends entirely on your fate."

"

"I've told you everything I needed to know: the whereabouts of the Unquenchable Flame, and the situation of the guards."

"

"I should take my leave now."

"

As soon as the evil deity finished speaking and was about to leave, Xu Chen darted forward and blocked his path.

Wait a minute.

"

"There are two more things I would like to ask Your Excellency the Evil God, and I hope you will not hesitate to enlighten me."

"

"Your Majesty, please speak freely."

"

"Why do you know so much about the whereabouts of the Unquenchable Flame?"

"And where did you learn the method to obtain the immortal flame?"

Faced with Xu Chen's questioning, the evil god remained silent for a moment before answering:

"Since the King of Liang has asked, I may tell you."

"

"Since the King of Liang is searching for the inextinguishable fire, does he know the origin of this divine fire?"

Xu Chen stared at the evil god, frowned and pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head.

The name "Unquenchable Flame" sounds impressive, but no one really knows its origin.

"Since the King of Liang does not know, then I will answer his question."

"

"Surely the King of Liang knows who the Emperor Yan is, right?"

Upon hearing the words "Emperor Yan," Xu Chen's heart skipped a beat—wasn't that the title of Shennong?

"You mean... this undying flame is related to Shennong?"

"That's right! This fire was originally the divine fire used by Shennong to refine elixirs."

"

"After he faked his death and escaped, the undying fire was guarded by the Fire Beast, and no one could get close to it anymore."

"

"And you, Xu Chen, are very likely to be the next person to wield the Undying Flame!"

"As for how I know these things, it was all by chance."

At that time, Shennong had not yet feigned death...

"I sensed that he was about to do something interesting, so I secretly followed him to a cold pool."

"

"The scene you see afterward is exactly the same as what you just saw."

"

Believe it or not, I've said everything I needed to say.

"

Before the evil god's words had even finished, his figure had already soared into the air.

Xu Chen watched his retreating figure and shouted:

Why do you want to help me?

You will understand soon enough.

"

Until then, focus on doing what you need to do.

The battle between us... has only just begun!

"Our contest has only just begun..."

As soon as the evil god finished speaking, Xu Chen frowned and muttered to himself. He couldn't figure out what this evil god was up to.

This guy is like a mystery, exuding an unfathomable aura.

Just as Xu Chen was deep in thought, Chu He walked over and, unable to contain her curiosity, asked, "Was that... really the legendary evil god?"

After receiving Xu Chen's affirmative answer, Chu He's eyes widened in surprise. She never expected that the person just now was the infamous evil god.

While Chu He was still in shock, Xu Chen had already sat down cross-legged.

"What are you doing?" Chu He asked, puzzled.

"Didn't the evil god say that to find the undying fire, we must awaken the power of the Crimson Sky Sword?"

"Xu Chen said while adjusting his breathing, "Keep an eye on it for me, I feel a frenzied power hidden in the sword."

"

"I need to connect with this force and unleash it!"

Only in this way can we obtain the inextinguishable flame.

"

Only then can we save Hemi and the others!

After saying this, Xu Chen took a deep breath and suddenly drew his Crimson Sky Sword.

The moment the sword was drawn, a violent aura swept out like a whirlwind!

Feeling the suffocating pressure, Chu He's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly jumped back.

This aura is absolutely terrifying!

She felt as if the blood in her body was freezing, and even her soul was trembling.

No wonder the Water Element Sect Master didn't dare to stop them; this kind of power is simply beyond the reach of ordinary people!

After Chu He retreated to a safe distance, Xu Chen stared intently at the Crimson Sky Sword.

With a soft shout, he continuously poured his spiritual energy into the sword.

In an instant, the scene before my eyes spun around me, and I heard eerie whispers in my ears.

Before Xu Chen could figure out the source of the sound, a blinding red light suddenly exploded, and a violent aura instantly engulfed him.

A sense of danger washed over him, and Xu Chen's hair stood on end. He instinctively tried to back away, only to find that all he could do was retreat into endless darkness.

It's like being watched by an invisible beast, sending chills down your spine.

"Is this the world inside the Crimson Sky Sword?"

"The sword spirit is resisting me..."

The thought had barely crossed Xu Chen's mind when he suddenly recalled his experience in Shennongjia.

At that time, Shennong simply made a casual gesture, and the Crimson Sky Sword obediently flew into his palm.

Even Xu Chen could clearly feel the peaceful power emanating from Shennong.

Thinking of this, Xu Chen immediately circulated the power of the five elements within his body, trying to emanate the same gentle aura and convey goodwill to the Crimson Sky Sword.

As the power of the five elements circulated, the violent aura around them indeed began to weaken.

Xu Chen was overjoyed when he suddenly saw a blurry figure appear in front of him.

But when he saw the other person's face clearly, his expression changed drastically—

This person was actually the former owner of the Crimson Sky Sword!

Upon seeing Xu Chen, the other person smiled knowingly: "Prince Xu Chen of Liang, you didn't expect to meet me here, did you?"

Xu Chen ignored him, his eyes fixed on what was behind him.

A giant, burning dragon floats there!

That was a real dragon!

The dragon spewed out scorching dragon breath, displaying astonishing power.

Noticing Xu Chen's gaze, the swordsman turned around and saw the fire dragon, his smile growing even brighter.

"Isn't that amazing?"

"When I first came here, I was equally awestruck by its appearance; this is a true dragon!"

"Once I obtain its power, I will be invincible!"

"You will rule over everything!"

Since Shennong has already shown up, how come Chiyou was left out!

He was the most ferocious demon lord in ancient times!

It took the combined efforts of Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang to barely subdue him!

Legend has it that even if the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor joined forces, they could not defeat Chi You!

When the Yellow Emperor was about to be defeated, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady descended to the mortal world and bestowed upon him a copy of the "Yellow Stone Heavenly Book"!

The Yellow Emperor deciphered the secrets of the Heavenly Book and obtained supreme divine power, which enabled him to defeat Chi You!

If it weren't for the Heavenly Book bestowed by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, the world would have already changed hands!

Xu Chen had completely overlooked such a powerful war god!

The man in black robes before them was actually a general under Chi You!

Seeing Xu Chen deep in thought, Ku Sha sneered:

"You dare to daydream when you're about to die? Think about how to leave your body intact!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Kusha suddenly swung the iron chain.

Even while wearing the Shennong Armor, Xu Chen still felt a bone-chilling cold!

"I have a question."

"

"How did you learn of my whereabouts?"

A chilling, sinister laugh escaped his lips, and he said in a hoarse voice:

"Since you asked, I'll make sure you die knowing why!"

"Because you have mastered the power of the Five Elements!"

Xu Chen frowned, puzzled.

"Hmph! You think the Five Elements Sect is really living in seclusion?"

"They're just hiding!"

"They're afraid of our revenge!"

"Revenge? You're subordinates of an evil god?"

Xu Chen recalled that Chu He had said that the Five Elements Sect and the forces of evil gods were irreconcilable enemies.

Last time on the northern islands, the Five Elements Sect seized the three great inheritances of the Evil General, and their strength must have increased significantly.

Chu He only mentioned the evil god, but never spoke of Chi You.

When Ku Sha spoke of revenge, did Chi You's tribe form an alliance with an evil god?

Unexpectedly, upon hearing the words "evil god," Ku Sha scoffed disdainfully:

"An evil god? He doesn't deserve that title!"

"How dare such a despicable person cooperate with us?"

"If he hadn't betrayed Lord Chi You in the face of battle, how could we have failed?"

The likes of Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang were no match for the might of Lord Chi You!

Although Lord Chi You is asleep, we brothers are not idle!

We all remember his skills!

The crying demon emitted a strange sound that was both crying and laughing.
