System crash? I prove it with my control panel!

After Shen Bo discovered his whereabouts, Chen Wen immediately had this idea.

It transforms into a withered and flourishing body, stores its magical power, and conceals a Divine Firmament Sword Qi within it, remaining dormant until the very end, which is the array plate.

What he was trying to achieve was that Shen Bo's tracking formation couldn't be used at any time, since it was a second-tier formation plate.

Moreover, given the chaos in the arena just now, even if Chen Wen's illusionary form was a bit off, no one would care.

Even if I do care, it's no big deal. At worst, I can just create another illusionary body later.

at this time.

Chen Wen really couldn't escape it.

He emerged from the forest, having withdrawn the illusion of withering and returned to his original form.

Even dressed in linen, he couldn't hide his gentle and refined temperament.

"hold head high--"

The cold dragon roared, stirring up towering waves, and a tangible killing intent shot from its eyes, enveloping everything.

Chen Wen remained unfazed and smiled as he said:

"Brother He, stop now!"

He said in a serious tone, "If I'm not mistaken, Senior Brother Liu Ziming has already been swallowed by the Cold Dragon!"

"Nurturing the Frost Dragon with the sect's earthly evil energy, even if it slaughters fellow disciples, is still a grave crime, even within a secret realm..."

He Yuzhu sneered: "Heh, simple. Once I reach the Foundation Establishment stage, I'll be innocent. At most, I'll be punished with a few years of seclusion."

"Since I'll be going into seclusion to experience my cultivation level after Foundation Establishment anyway, this is perfect; I might as well go into seclusion for a few more years!"

He narrowed his eyes and swept them over Chen Wen and Jiang Qingyan, his killing intent undisguised.

Jiang Qingyan, seeing that he had already confessed to killing Liu Ziming, knew that it was all a scheme.

The churning waters were not from a fight between the two, but rather a deliberate act by the Cold Dragon to lure them out.

His face showed bitterness. "Brother He, please don't act impulsively. You've already offended Weapon Peak. Now, the two of us represent Purple Cloud Peak and Medicine Valley respectively. You're putting your Hundred Refinement Peak in a position of opposition among the eight peaks!"

He spoke, but secretly took out a talisman and held it in his palm, concealing its spiritual power.

"Chen Jingwen!"

At this moment, a rather disheveled but intensely hateful voice rang out.

Chen Wen looked over in surprise. Why was he still here? Why was he trying so hard to get attention?

This person was none other than Shen Bo.

His face was as pale as paper, and his breathing was unstable, which was caused by his frantic activation of the formation just now.

Chen Wenchao, He Yuzhu, and the others smiled and said, "Sorry, please wait a few moments while I take care of some personal matters."

Shen Bo became even angrier upon hearing this, realizing that Chen Jingwen was referring to him when he said he was dealing with some personal matters.

He roared, "Chen Jingwen, you have quite the nerve! Aren't you afraid of getting burned?"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Wen raised his hand and waved it, and azure rain began to fall from the sky, dripping onto everyone and instantly filling the air with vitality.

Shen Bo was shocked upon seeing this. Poisonous?!

However, when the rainwater falls on the body, it is instantly absorbed by the already dried-out body and transformed into streams of pure plant energy to nourish the body.

The vital energy lost from consuming essence and blood is instantly restored.

Shen Bo felt even more uneasy. "Chen Jingwen, what are you doing? Have you lost your mind?"

This was not only Shen Bo's idea, but also the idea of ​​the others.

Especially Fang Jie on the ground.

He was trying to wear down the Divine Firmament Sword Qi, but made no progress.

However, when his true energy encountered the raindrops, it automatically retreated. He didn't have time to think about it and frantically absorbed the raindrops.

The cold dragon danced joyfully in the rain, making the pool water even more turbulent.

Although He Yuzhu did not know what he wanted, he was happy that the Cold Dragon could accumulate an even more violent wave in this time.

After all, Han Jiao was already old. Even though he had integrated the Earthly Fiend Qi, he was only at the half-step Foundation Establishment stage, not the Foundation Establishment stage.

Lifespan remains at the limit of the first rank, around three hundred years.

Even if monsters live longer than humans, the lifespan is still limited.

It wasn't that he wanted to remove the evil spirit, but that his family wanted him to do it, a desperate gamble!

The cold dragon could not hold on any longer.

His strength has greatly diminished; he may appear formidable, but he still needs to accumulate power to ensure a fatal blow to anyone in the arena.

The waves where the frost dragons gathered grew increasingly cold, emanating waves of chilling air, and the danger within intensified.

Chen Wen ignored everything and just kept raining.

Jiang Qingyan felt the increasingly overwhelming, chilling waves, and his spiritual senses pounded.

He gripped the talisman in his hand tightly. It was a small teleportation talisman bestowed upon him by his master. It was of mid-grade quality and of the second rank. In case of danger, it could teleport him hundreds of miles away. It was a life-saving artifact!

Just now.

The frost dragon suddenly turned and charged downwards, bringing with it towering waves that seemed to swallow the entire land.

As for Chen Wen and the others, they were nothing more than ants enveloped by him.

Jiang Qingyan immediately activated the Minor Teleportation Talisman, attempting to escape.

However, as if he had expected it, He Yuzhu made a hand seal and cast a spell. Instantly, an invisible shackle enveloped Jiang Qingyan.

Second-tier superior grade, Shackle Talisman!

Jiang Qingyan had only moved a few feet when he felt as if he were walking in mud, his steps were difficult.

Finally, the magic power in the talisman was exhausted, and he fell directly from the sky.

He Yuzhu sneered, "Second-tier talismans? Who doesn't have one?"

Jiang Qingyan fell into the water and immediately tried to dive down.

However, he was completely immobilized, unable to move or even use any spells.

At that moment, he was filled with despair. Looking at the approaching cold wave, he closed his eyes and waited for death!

However, Chen Wen, gazing at the cold wave in the sky, smiled smugly, then turned to look at He Yuzhu in the distance and said:

"Thank you for waiting a few moments. How about we eat some dragon meat together later?"

He Yuzhu was taken aback upon hearing this, and a bad premonition rose in his heart. He rushed over immediately.

Although he didn't know what the other party was doing, his intuition told him that he couldn't let him succeed!

But it was too late!

Chen Wen stopped his gentle persuasion technique and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Even with his gluttonous stomach constantly converting his magical power, maintaining the Small Withering Hand over such a large area still exhausted his mind and energy.

However, this is not the time to rest.

He made another hand seal, "Prosperity and decay alternate, turn!"

In an instant.

A small black dot suddenly appeared in the life force of the plants that the Cold Dragon absorbed, emanating an aura of death.

Subsequently, all the life force it absorbed was transformed into desolate power, which surged into its soul.

The moment they made contact, the cold dragon suddenly felt dizzy and weak, as if its entire body had been hollowed out.

Its scales began to fall off continuously, its fur became dry, and its eyes became cloudy.

The towering, icy waves collapsed along with its aura.

The chill dissipated instantly.

The icy dragon slammed its body onto the surface of the pool, splashing up a large spray of water.

Finally, it let out an old, weary, hoarse cry, "Awooo~~~".

He passed away peacefully!

He Yuzhu's pupils constricted sharply. "What kind of method is this?!"

He clearly sensed that Han Zu's lifespan had instantly reached its limit, a death from old age.

But Han Zu, clearly, never suffered a serious injury in his life and lived for 350 years.

Now that he is 345 years old, even if his body is too old to hold on, he will not die instantly.

He was immediately gripped by panic.

To shorten someone's lifespan—what a cruel method!

Could it be that spiritual rain just now?

He felt a chill run down his spine, and cold sweat poured down his back. If the cold dragon could shorten the lifespan of the dragon, what about his own?

He involuntarily took a few steps back, looking warily at the boy in front of him, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty, unsure of how to face him.

He wanted to beg for mercy, but felt ashamed and still hoped that he might have no strength left.

Jiang Qingyan, who was already waiting to die below, was shoved to the bottom of the water by the current.

But then he suddenly opened his eyes. The force was wrong; it was more like he was giving himself a massage!

He opened his eyes and saw a pair of blood-red eyes, still filled with resentment and fear.

this......

He didn't have time to think and rushed out of the pool.

But by then the pool had calmed down.

He Yuzhu was no longer as arrogant as before; instead, he was like a stray dog ​​with its tail between its legs, wanting to bark but not daring to.

He felt as if he were under an illusion.

However, after practicing the Mind-Clearing Technique several times, he suddenly realized that everything before his eyes was real!

He looked at the young man whose expression remained calm, bowed respectfully, and said:

"Many thanks to Senior Brother Jingwen for saving my life. Brother Jingwen displayed great power and turned the tide. Senior Sister Qin even asked me to look after my junior brother. I am truly ashamed..."

Chen Wen glanced at him, thinking to himself that this guy was a real opportunist. He had just wanted to watch him fight the Cold Dragon, but now he quickly declared his position, saying that he was invited by Senior Sister Qin and was on his side.

He just smiled faintly, "Senior Brother Jiang, you're too kind. As a fellow student of Senior Sister Qin, it's only right that I lend a hand. Don't worry about it."

He glanced at He Yuzhu beside him, knowing that he was terrified but was just too proud to admit it.

He immediately ignored him, took out the jade bottle given to him by Qin Shuiru, raised his hand and summoned it, and streams of dark, malevolent energy immediately appeared in the body of the cold dragon.

These malevolent energies are the Xuan Shui Sha.

Before it could return to the world, it was taken into Chen Wen's possession.

Until the Xuan Shui Sha condensed into a single black droplet, hanging in Chen Wen's palm, as heavy as ten thousand jun.

Chen Wen was satisfied and put it into the jade bottle, then into his storage bag.

He then used the Innate Great Capture technique to retrieve the corpse of the Cold Dragon and hung it beside him.

This is the corpse of a first-order perfected demon beast. Its tendons, skin, bones, and blood are all treasures. Moreover, it is a male beast, and its meat is especially nourishing. It is perfect for Xiaoxue to replenish her body.

Then he looked at He Yuzhu and the others and smiled faintly:

"The ownership of this malevolent energy has been decided. Brother He, do you still wish to contest it?"

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu's eyes flickered, and he remained silent. He opened his mouth, but no words came out.

He originally intended to follow the family plan, to gamble everything and fight desperately.

But thinking back to what had just happened, I couldn't help but feel afraid.

He was filled with trepidation. Why gamble? Even if he lost the Xuan Shui Sha, so what?!

I possess a superior water-elemental root, so I still have the potential to reach the Purple Mansion stage, and even if I don't...

Foundation building is also possible, with a lifespan of eight hundred!

Isn't it good to be alive?

Besides... this kid hunted Foundation Establishment cultivators before, and he lost to him... so it's not shameful... right?

He remained silent, but Chen Wen noticed his hesitation and said with a faint smile, "In that case, Brother He, farewell!"

He nodded to Jiang Qingyan again.

Jiang Qingyan hurriedly took his leave, saying, "Senior Brother Jingwen, please take care. I will definitely pay you a visit to express my gratitude after we leave the secret realm!"

Chen Wen rode his sword and vanished into the wind.

Jiang Qingyan, fearing that He Yuzhu would go mad, quickly left.

He Yuzhu stayed by the pool for a long time before silently leaving, looking as if he had aged many years...

As for Shen Bo, he had already slunk away when Han Jiao died.

Just like Chen Wen was surprised that he was still here, this was not a place for him to get involved, yet he had no self-awareness.

After traveling hundreds of miles, Chen Wen put the Cold Dragon into the Taotie's stomach.

Then he quickly found a cave, went inside, and set up a simple early warning array.

He then collapsed to the ground.

A sharp pain shot through his mind, causing him to break out in a cold sweat and turn deathly pale.

However, a hint of excitement appeared on his deathly pale face.

He succeeded!

It scared those scions of noble families!

Just now, he was really afraid that He Yuzhu would fight him.

Aside from experiments, he had never used the withering technique of the Lesser Withering Hand before.

However, the moment it was unleashed, it was a cold dragon whose life essence was at the first level of perfection.

Chen Wen overestimated himself.

His desolate energy was instantly neutralized.

Fortunately, he managed to maintain the situation by using his gluttonous stomach to continuously grind spirit stones and pills to replenish his magical power and soul.

This success was largely due to the fact that the Cold Dragon's lifespan was already insufficient.

Without follow-up strength, once the decline begins, it collapses instantly.

Just like an ordinary elderly person, once they fall ill, their body will rapidly deteriorate.

He had exhausted all his resources to barely succeed.

They have no strength left to fight.

Fortunately, the Gluttonous Stomach continuously maintained his magical power and kept him from running out of energy.

The Xuanhuang Refining Heart Technique calmed his mind and spirit, leaving no trace of his weakness.

If there is even the slightest flaw, all that awaits him is He Yuzhu's overwhelming rage, until death.

I'm exhausted and need to rest.

Fortunately, Chen Polang provided him with nourishment, which allowed him to stabilize his injuries three days later.

Chen Wen has achieved his goal for this trip and is now beginning to review the proceedings.

First, there was Shen Bo, who appeared unexpectedly and whom he had never taken seriously before.

An inner disciple with two array plates thought he could ambush and kill me?

joke!

This act of retaliation only made Chen Wen feel ridiculous.

There was even a feeling that the Shen family was about to fall.

He had only dealt with one of the collateral relatives of the family, yet trouble kept piling up.

To put it nicely, it's called protecting one's own; to put it bluntly, it's a guilty conscience and a fit of temper!

Take Qin Shuiru, for example. She is a core disciple of the Qin family. Rumors about her are rampant and are often discussed by outer disciples. How do you see her reaction?

True strength lies in not caring about such things.

The He family is the same; so what if I killed their core disciple?

When you're out in the world, you need to be good at interpersonal relationships and social skills.

Such an unwise reaction will only make one a laughingstock.

However, Chen Wen still remembered Shen Bo, who had destroyed one of his array plates. He would settle the score with him after they got out!

Secondly, there is the Ho family.

Although the Ho family values ​​interpersonal relationships, they still need to be cautious.

I have offended the He family time and time again.

First they killed the He family members, then they killed and stole the He family's spirit beasts, and now they've cut off the He family's one-tenth hope of future Purple Mansion.

They kept jumping around on the He family's heads.

There's a saying that goes, "You just need to initiate the team fight, and your teammates will naturally follow."

However, it's hard to guarantee that the Ho family won't resort to desperate measures.

There's a saying: Even a clay figure has a bit of temper!

If I can't handle an opponent of equal caliber, can't I at least take you down?

Chen Wen felt solemn. He took out the jade bottle, carefully stroked it, and felt the profound and powerful water essence within.

He made up his mind that he absolutely could not break ties with Qin Shuiru, otherwise he would have no chance to turn things around.

He remembered Lin Yang calling him an extraterrestrial demon...

I thought of the densely packed halls and pavilions of Qingming Peak...

Chen Wen couldn't help but swear:

"Damn it, this Qingming Sect is in the peak competition!"
