System crash? I prove it with my control panel!

Jiang Qingyan's attack was unsuccessful, as it was blocked by He Yuzhu.

Now he wants to lure He Yuzhu and the other person to the ground.

He is a being with the spirit roots of earth and wood; the land and forests are his home turf.

However, He Yuzhu and his companion were not fooled.

Jiang Qingyan was trapped in the air.

The two men fought with wide, powerful blows; the other was cunning and ruthless, each move aimed at seizing the woman's heart.

Play around as you please, but don't joke about peaches.

Jiang Qingyan immediately used his escape technique to flee the encirclement.

He Yuzhu and his companion gave chase.

Of the three people in front of him, Fang Jie was a fraud, while the other two were only missing the Earthly Fiend Qi to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

Especially He Yuzhu, who has been outwitting Qin Shuiru for years, wasting his Qi Refining stage, unaware of his profound inner strength.

Seeing the three of them fighting again, Chen Wen was extremely alarmed.

Jiang Qingyan's sword beams crisscrossed, like a dense spider web.

However, He Yuzhu neither dodged nor avoided, but directly confronted Jiang Qingyan with his physical body.

[Remember the fastest online novel website: 1 ...

Fang Jie maintained his ruthless style, quietly using his sword to launch a sneak attack on the lower body.

Seeing his predicament, Chen Wen thought to himself that he still had to make a move. If Jiang Qingyan was defeated, there would be no one left to restrain He Yuzhu.

As for the underwater situation, there's no rush at the moment.

Although Liu Ziming is a fire elementalist, which puts him at a disadvantage in underwater combat, he is still a true disciple and a member of the Weapon Peak, so he must have a lot of magical artifacts on him.

Moreover, judging from He Yuzhu's calm and unhurried demeanor, the cold dragon he mentioned was clearly not someone to be trifled with.

Let Liu Ziming stall for time.

He now clearly sees which camp he's on.

Liu Ziming is on one side, Jiang Qingyan and himself are on the other side, and He Yuzhu and Fang Jie are on the same side.

Now that there is a three-way battle, his side is at a disadvantage, so he has to go out!

In a flash, Chen Wen had made up his mind.

He immediately began to conceal his presence, trying to get closer.

However, at this moment, Chen Wen's movements suddenly froze. There was another expert!

He quickly concealed himself again, not daring to make the slightest sound.

Suddenly, a figure in a green robe and wielding a sword appeared in the arena.

Chen Wen did not recognize the visitor, but his appearance was extremely familiar.

Chen Wen immediately recognized him as the inner disciple who had been keeping a close eye on him when they entered the secret realm.

He couldn't help but frown slightly, wondering what he had done to deserve attracting so many enemies.

After reflecting on it, he concluded that it was because he had been too charitable and hadn't known how to nip the problem in the bud.

After that person appeared in the scene.

The three immediately separated and became wary of each other.

Jiang Qingyan, however, showed a hint of joy. "Brother Shen, come quickly and help me! We absolutely cannot let the He family's scheme succeed this time, otherwise, won't all of us from the Nine Peaks be at their mercy in the future?!"

He Yuzhu's expression darkened slightly as he advised, "Brother Shen, don't listen to his nonsense. My He family has always had an upright reputation; how could we do such a thing?!"

"Besides, who can say for sure what will happen after Foundation Establishment? It's just a slight increase in the possibility of reaching the Purple Mansion realm. Brother Shen, let's act together quickly. Once we capture this person, I will surely reward you handsomely!"

Shen Bo, one of the three, glanced at the bushes not far away and said calmly:

"I've come here for only one person, Chen Jingwen. How long are you going to hide?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the three were immediately shocked. Someone was hiding here!

They all turned their gaze to the bushes not far away.

The bushes rustled in the wind, their leaves whispering.

There was no response whatsoever.

"Heh~ I never imagined that Chen Jingwen, who bravely fought against Foundation Establishment cultivators, was nothing but a cowardly coward. How laughable!"

Shen Bo sneered: "I possess a second-tier Soul-Chasing Breath-Locking Array. With even a wisp of your aura, you can run to the ends of the earth and it will be useless."

"Our ancestor said that you are virtually invincible below the Foundation Establishment stage, and that he forbids us from being your enemies. I think that's an exaggeration!"

He Yuzhu was too lazy to waste words and directly raised his hand to throw a punch.

"Sigh~"

A sigh was heard.

Then came a streak of cyan sword light, which carried a young man in hemp clothing, suspending him in mid-air.

Chen Wen's eyes were complicated; he had intended to be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

But unexpectedly, a fisherman appeared, who not only didn't want to profit, but also exposed his whereabouts, truly harming others without benefiting himself!

Second-order array...

Just give it to me, and I'll kowtow to you, okay? What's the big deal?

He looked at Shen Bo and said, "Brother Shen, you brought a second-tier array plate into the secret realm for personal gain. You'll inevitably be punished when you get out. We have no connection with each other, so why bother?"

Shen Bo's gaze was icy as he said, "Those who insult the Shen family will be punished!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and waved it, and an array plate appeared and covered Chen Wen's head.

Chen Wen's expression changed. When this formation is deployed, the five elements rotate endlessly, and it is mainly composed of metal and fire. It is a heavy killing formation, and its quality is at least a first-grade high-quality formation.

There's a saying in the cultivation world: "It's better to fight an enemy of a higher level than to bully a lower-level array master."

You would never guess the depth of a formation master's knowledge, especially since formation masters are based on lineage and tradition.

However, he was not a lamb to be slaughtered, he sighed.

"In that case, take this!"

The longsword was drawn, its sword energy like a rainbow, and it thrust towards Shen Peng.

However, his attention was focused on the longsword that Chen Wen had shot out.

Chen Wen suddenly spat out four sword lights, slashing towards Fang Jie.

The Divine Firmament Sword Control Technique!

"Boom—"

The sword light, carrying the power of thunder, instantly blasted Fang Jie, who was just about to watch the show, down to the ground. He was covered in wounds and barely breathing.

He Yuzhu was shocked. Forgetting about Jiang Qingyan, he rushed down to treat her, cursing, "Despicable! Scoundrel!"

Chen Wen pursed his lips, thinking to himself: You're swearing like you're being coquettish!

He kept that mid-grade first-tier flying sword while practicing with this sword pellet, wasn't it all for the purpose of launching a sneak attack?

Chen Wen understood the principle that it's better to break one finger than to injure all ten.

Now that Fang Jie has been removed from He Yuzhu's side, Jiang Qingyan can focus on dealing with He Yuzhu and concentrate on facing Shen Bo.

perfect!

Jiang Qingyan clearly understood this as well, and his face lit up with joy. He praised repeatedly, "Brother Jingwen, well done! No matter the outcome, I'll treat you to drinks after we get out!"

However, Chen Wen was already enveloped by the formation and unable to respond.

Chen Wen was already inside the formation, and streams of Gengjin sword energy kept falling down, with flames mixed with explosions, making Chen Wen somewhat disheveled for a moment.

Formations are truly ruthless.

But...who isn't a formation master?!

Chen Wen's lips curled slightly as he looked up towards the direction where Shen Bo was in the distance.

Shen Bo was manipulating the formation with a cold smile. Seeing that Chen Wen was still laughing, he immediately increased the power of the formation.

Ultimately, formations are a means of utilizing the power of heaven and earth for one's own purposes.

It can also be said that after the Xuanwen is broken down, it is arranged according to a specific rule and supported by the array base or array plate.

But where there are patterns, there are bound to be loopholes.

Even if the Heavenly Dao is fiftyfold, one of them will still escape.

There is no perfect formation in the world; it simply hides that one vital point even deeper.

Chen Wen has already mastered the first-tier formation. Although this first-tier high-grade formation is difficult, he can still try to break it.

The difference in power between a formation controlled by someone and one not controlled by someone is enormous.

This made it difficult for him to break through.

Now that he has stabilized his position, it's his turn.

He immediately began to defend against various attacks while taking out the array plate and activating it.

He needs a safe space to carry out his methods.

hum~

A light barrier of arrays flickered within Shen Bo's array.

Upon seeing this, Shen Bo frowned. This guy actually had a high-grade array plate, and it was even a protective type!

He gritted his teeth and took out another array plate, a first-grade top-level array, the Flaming Dragon Fire Rain Array!

With great reluctance, he took out dozens of mid-grade spirit stones and poured them into the array plate, then threw them toward Chen Wen's location.

Suddenly, streaks of flame descended from the sky, condensing into fiery dragons that rushed towards Chen Wen.

boom--

Chen Wen's Dragon-Trapping Spirit-Locking Array was instantly bombarded, cracks appeared, and it shook violently.

Chen Wen knew he was in trouble and quickly sped up his efforts to break the formation.

At this time.

In the outside world.

Explosions echoed from Jiaolongtan, and there was a constant feeling of the earth shaking.

Strangely, those mortals fled without looking back as soon as the unusual activity first appeared in Jiaolongtan.

They took refuge in nearby dwellings, boulders, or deep pits.

This is an instinct passed down through generations: in the event of a natural disaster, they immediately seek a small place to hide, and only emerge when all is quiet.

This resulted in no one seeing any cultivators fighting at Jiaolongtan.

After investigating Fang Jie's situation, He Yuzhu gained a new understanding of Chen Wen's ruthlessness.

This guy will have to find a Foundation Establishment cultivator to remove the Divine Firmament Sword Qi from his body.

Otherwise, he would live his entire life tormented by the piercing and heart-wrenching aura of the Divine Firmament Sword, and might not even live past ten years.

Even if he fed him the Flesh and Bone Marrow Regeneration Pill, it would only make him look like a normal person on the outside.

For every bit of internal repair, the Divine Firmament Sword Qi erodes an inch!

He thought for a moment and decided that this person was still useful, so he placed Fang Jie aside and then returned to the air.

Jiang Qingyan did not seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, but instead said calmly:

"Brother He, you've lost. You'll have no chance to fuse with the Profound Water Fiend in this secret realm. Why don't you sit down with me, have a cup of tea, and watch them fight?"

His eyes were clear, devoid of the gratitude he had shown Chen Wen earlier, only indifference remained.

"lose?"

He Yuzhu's expression remained calm and undisturbed as he spoke softly:

"Since you know there's a Frost Dragon here, and you also know there's a Mysterious Water Fiend here, you should know that demonic beasts can also bear the Mysterious Water Fiend, right?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingyan's pupils shrank sharply, and he thought to himself, "Oh no!"

He immediately retreated, forcing out an awkward smile:

"Brother He, it was just a joke, why take it so seriously? Hahaha~"

"I took it seriously!"

He Yuzhu's face was grim.

The He family has guarded this secret for over a hundred years.

After several generations failed to integrate the Xuan Shui Sha into their foundation building, the He family understood why.

Success comes from countless trials, and failure also comes from countless trials.

The Hundred Refinements Golden Body Technique views the human body as a Dharma instrument, requiring a hundred refinements to achieve its indestructible state.

However, when practicing this technique, various golden spirit essences are used in conjunction with earth fire to temper the physical body.

Although powerful, it is also susceptible to fire and poison attacks. Foundation Establishment is possible, but Purple Mansion is difficult to achieve.

The Xuan Shui Sha can be harmonized quite well.

But how can one who possesses a body full of fire poison and whose nature is imbued with fire energy possibly harmonize with the Xuan Shui Sha?

Therefore, they simply handed over the Xuan Shui Sha to the guarding Han Jiao to integrate with, extract the Han Jiao's essence and blood, refine it into pills, and stimulate the water spirit root of the He family's descendants, which could also harmonize the situation.

Moreover, if one could possess a superior water spirit root, one might be able to integrate the Xuan Shui Sha (a type of negative energy) for one's own use.

So many years have passed, and they have remained silent.

Finally, the He family had two disciples with superior water elemental roots.

One is He Yuzhu, the other is He Yuhao.

The other eight peaks were unwilling to see the He family produce another Purple Mansion, so they all tried to stop them.

He Yuzhu kept running around, confusing all his opponents.

Even Qin Shuiru, the most likely candidate for the position in the Qin family, was deceived and tricked into losing a portion of her earthly evil energy.

He originally planned to wait until He Yuhao reached the ninth level of Qi Refining before entering the secret realm together, so that the two of them could try to fuse evil energy into their bodies at the same time.

Unfortunately, before he could even join the sect, he was killed by a scoundrel.

Unfortunately, with the other eight peaks around, he couldn't even take revenge.

How could such a lowly ant have grown to such a level...?

He couldn't take it anymore.

Perhaps, it's time to push myself to the brink of despair in order to successfully fuse with the evil spirit...

Now is not the time to remove the evil spirits, but to clear the area!

He fastened a jade talisman at his waist and whispered, "Ancestor Han, please kill everyone here!"

Within the sect, only in the secret realm can no one interfere, and there are no sect rules to punish those who kill.

A first-stage Great Perfection Frost Dragon, which has been fused with Earthly Fiend Qi, is comparable to a half-step Foundation Establishment cultivator!

Glug glug~

Suddenly, the water in the pool below began to churn, bubbling and billowing.

Suddenly, a colossal, azure figure burst forth from the water, soaring straight into the sky.

"hold head high---"

After letting out a long howl, it landed next to He Yuzhu.

"Holy crap, there's a dragon!"

Although Chen Wen was within the formation, the formation did not block the view from the outside world, as if Shen Bo wanted to kill him and destroy his spirit, making him see who the killer was.

Therefore, Chen Wen clearly saw the sight of the azure blue serpent, which was over a hundred feet long, bursting out of the water.

Its body was nearly a hundred feet long, entirely azure blue, with crystal-clear scales that gleamed with a cold light. It had only forelegs, a ferocious mouth, spewed white mist from its nostrils, had blood-red eyes like lanterns, and a fleshy bump on its head.

After seeing the whole thing, Chen Wen sighed, "It's not a dragon after all. How ugly!"

Shen Bo, who was outside, wanted to escape, but when he suddenly saw Chen Wen, who was about to break the formation, still having the leisure to comment on the cold dragon, he was immediately furious.

He immediately abandoned any thought of escape and coldly shouted, "You still have the nerve to joke around here? Prepare to die!"

After saying that, he spat out a mouthful of blood essence, made hand seals, and desperately activated the formation.

His face turned pale at a visible rate, and his breath became extremely weak.

But the formation began to spin wildly in an instant, and the fiery dragon roared as it frantically attacked Chen Wen's spirit-locking formation.

Chen Wen frowned slightly, shook his head, and sighed.

"Since you insist, what else is there to say? It's just a life, take it!"

"But remember, you owe me a formation plate, a high-grade first-tier protective formation plate."

Shen Bo was completely baffled by his words. "What nonsense are you talking about!"

But the next moment.

Chen Wen's formation shattered.

Its body was also torn apart by the roar of the fiery dragon, turning into a large tree, and then burned to ashes.

Looking at the scene before him, Shen Bo felt a chill run down his spine. This was... an illusion!

He... wasn't here the whole time, and only fought me with the magic power stored in his illusory body?

A sense of powerlessness welled up inside me.

I thought I had it completely under my control and could play it for fun, but I never imagined that I was the one being played.

Shen Bo was not the only one shocked by this; Jiang Qingyan, who had already stormed out, was also shocked.

He instantly realized that his words just now seemed somewhat inappropriate.

I'm speechless with frustration. Dude, your illusion is this strong, yet you're still so...reliable?!

Upon seeing this, He Yuzhu was not angry but delighted, and laughed loudly:

"Hahaha, my father always said that geniuses are as numerous as carp crossing a river, and it is truly a fortunate event to have witnessed one today!"

"Han Zu, it's up to you!"

"hold head high---"
