Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation
chapter-1213

“However, I do not like that kind of state. I once entered a frenzy and killed the person dearest to me. Hence, I swore never to use the power of that bloodline again. Mu Xiyan was the person who pulled me back from that hell.”

Xiao Chen nodded, indicating he understood. It was just like when Leng Yue used her Charm Technique to pull him back from the depravity of massacre in the past. Mu Xiyan had probably used the same method to pull Dugu Ao back, suppressing the enticement of the Blood Demon talents.

However, based on Dugu Ao’s expression, it seemed like there was more to the story. Could it be that while Dugu Ao managed to resist the enticement of the Blood Demon talents, he could not resist Mu Xiyan’s seduction?

Seeing Xiao Chen enter deep thought, Dugu Ao knew that Xiao Chen already guessed what happened. He said, “It is not that I could not resist her Charm Technique. It is that if I did not have relations with her, she could not have pulled me back.”

Xiao Chen felt somewhat flabbergasted. Unexpectedly, there was still such a thing.

“Now, do you know why I must repay this favor at all costs? So far, there has never been an Eros Demon mixed-blood who cleared the Great Tribulation of wind and fire. Hence, I must help her obtain this mutated Demonic Essence Core.”

Xiao Chen smiled. This fellow seemed arrogant and proud beyond measure. Unexpectedly, he took this matter between man and woman so seriously.

“However, is it only to repay this debt of gratitude?” Xiao Chen asked interestedly.

Just as Dugu Ao was about to answer, he noticed Mu Xiyan’s eyelids twitching from nervousness. He knew that she had already recovered, so he shook his head and stopped speaking about this.

Ao Jiao opened her eyes and said begrudgingly, “You are already at the most crucial part, and you suddenly stopped speaking. Little Sister Xiyan has already been waiting for a long time.”

Mu Xiyan knew that she could not continue pretending. Blushing slightly, she said, “Nonsense. Since when I was eavesdropping? I do not know anything.”

Dugu Ao stopped lingering on this topic. He said, “Let’s go. There is not much time left.”

The Death Swamp was rife with Flying Dragon Snakes. However, there was only one of that mutated Flying Dragon Snake.

After arriving at the Death Swamp, there was no need to search for the mutated Flying Dragon Snake. They just needed to head towards where the aftershocks of battle reverberated most intensely. The mutated Flying Dragon Snake was definitely there.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The entire Death Swamp shook violently—not just the ground but the entire space.

The moment the group stepped into the Death Swamp, they could already feel the might of the shock waves from the huge battle, even from dozens of kilometers away.

Xiao Chen looked into the distance at that chaotic area and was aghast. Such great shock waves were due to at least twenty to thirty Consummation quasi-Emperors fighting with that mutated Flying Dragon Snake.

Aside from these, there were even more onlookers standing by the side, waiting to take advantage of the situation to gain something.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

The figures of the four flashed as they raised their speed to their limits. After a while, they arrived at where the chaotic battle was taking place.

The group saw an enormous black snake curled up in the swamp. When its gigantic body coiled together, it was like a black mountain.

This enormous snake fought savagely with thirty-odd Consummation quasi-Emperors. The strong aura of Death Qi drew frighteningly dense dark clouds to mass in the sky.

Groups of Demon mixed-bloods temporarily allied with each other. With Pei Yan and Ye Ziheng as the leaders, they ruthlessly attacked the mutated Flying Dragon Snake.

This was probably the mutated Flying Dragon Snake’s first time facing so many people surrounding it ever since it was first discovered. In the past, it could not attract so many experts over to come and attack it.

Dugu Ao said, “I do not like playing the fisherman; there are too many variables with this. I like having everything in my control since that is more reliable. Xiao Chen, I’ll hold off the rest. I’ll leave the Flying Dragon Snake to you. How confident are you?”

Xiao Chen’s eyes sparkled as hot-bloodedness surged in his veins. If it were any other day, he would definitely play the fisherman. That way held very little risk, and he could maintain his calm at all times, able to advance or retreat whenever he wanted.

However, right now, he needed to obtain the Flower of Life; nothing could be allowed to go wrong with this. Success or failure depended on it. He would go wild just this once, not giving himself any room to retreat.

Xiao Chen slowly gave Dugu Ao his answer. “Fully confident. However, I, Xiao Chen, will hold these people back. You do your best to kill the Flying Dragon Snake.

“Since you already swore never to use the power of that bloodline, then remember your oath. Never use it!”

A cool wind blew. While Dugu Ao was stunned, that white figure slowly descended and appeared within the raging battlefield.

Xiao Chen and his saber alone blocked thirty-odd Demon mixed-blood Consummation quasi-Emperors with ten thousand dragons soaring behind him.

“He already guessed that I intend to use that bloodline!”

Dugu Ao felt strangely touched. Honestly speaking, in this collaboration, Xiao Chen got the short end of the stick. Hence, Dugu Ao suggested that he would block the Consummation quasi-Emperors, shouldering the greatest burden. This was so that he would not end up taking advantage of Xiao Chen too much.

Unexpectedly, in the end, Xiao Chen still took the initiative to step forward.

This is the so-called boldness, the so-called heroism.

However, how am I to repay this favor?

Dugu Ao’s face turned serious, and he stopped thinking further. “Let’s go. Let’s quickly make our move!”

Right after Dugu Ao spoke, he led Ao Jiao, Mu Xiyan, and Little Yellow Feather charging at that mountain-like mutated Flying Dragon Snake. They blocked the mutated Flying Dragon Snake, which was behind Xiao Chen, preventing it from attacking him from behind.

While all this took a long time to describe, it actually happened in only an instant. From Xiao Chen charging in to Dugu Ao leading the others charging in, only half a breath of time passed.

Xiao Chen held up his saber and stood upright in the raging battlefield. This one saber blocked Pei Yan, Ye Ziheng, and the rest of the thirty-odd Consummation quasi-Emperors.

Such a change in the situation stunned everyone. It shocked the countless quasi-Emperor Demon mixed-blood cultivators hanging around, waiting to take advantage of the situation; they did not know what was going on.

“Damn, who is this? Is he tired of living?”

“It is that white-robed bladesman. The youth who humiliated Old Man Feng at the stone stele earlier.”

“So, it is him. Even if Old Man Feng was not a match for him, it is still too much if he wants to block these thirty-odd Consummation quasi-Emperors alone.”

“Who knows? However, this might be a good thing for us. This way, things will be more lively.”

The group of watching quasi-Emperors hiding in the darkness of the Death Swamp discussed in whispers, their eyes filled with excitement.

Although these quasi-Emperors did not think that Xiao Chen could block thirty-odd peak Consummation quasi-Emperors on his own, they were here to play the fisherman and take advantage of the situation in the first place. So, the more chaotic the situation, the better it was for them.

A faint black flame blazed on Pei Yan’s body. As he looked at the ten thousand dragons soaring behind Xiao Chen, he thought to himself, This fellow, even though he came late and lost the initiative, he actually thought of such an extreme method. Does he want to die?

Ye Ziheng appeared very angry as he shouted, “Are you seeking death? Quickly move aside. Otherwise, no matter what your background is, you can forget about leaving the Human-Demon Paradise today.”

“Scram, on the double!”

When the thirty-odd peak Consummation quasi-Emperors saw Dugu Ao’s group starting to fight the injured mutated Flying Dragon Snake, they were so frustrated, they were ready to kill.

How could there be such a thing? After they spent so much effort to fight this mutated Flying Dragon Snake for a long time, this fellow wanted to take advantage of it the moment he arrived.

A vast aura gathered, nearly twisting space as it pressed towards Xiao Chen. The formless aura was like a boundless majestic aura, making breathing hard when it pressed down on one.

Xiao Chen held his breath and paid attention. As he looked at these thirty-odd peak Consummation quasi-Emperors, he focused to an unprecedented degree.

“You want me to scram? Sure. You just have to ask the saber in my hand whether it agrees or not first.”

Xiao Chen pointed the tip of his saber forward and unleashed his seventy-percent-comprehended lightning saber soul, displaying his unyielding spirit.

He needed to obtain the Flower of Life at all costs. This was the most crucial step on his path to Emperor. He was willing to stake his life on it!

“Attack together and kill him!”

Pei Yan frowned. He felt Xiao Chen’s sharpness and unparalleled brilliance, so he did not dare to commit too heavily to this assault.

The thirty-odd peak Consummation quasi-Emperors each executed their killing moves, sending them at Xiao Chen, who blocked their way. Immediately, the air filled with lights of various colors, creating a very brilliant spectacle as the lights flew endlessly.

All sorts of mysterious phenomena intersected with each other. The overwhelming attacks caused the space around to tremble intensely.

The power of the world being driven was too chaotic. Explosions resounded without pause in the Death Swamp, rumbling endlessly.

Just the shock waves alone killed several Flying Dragon Snakes in the Death Swamp. Blood instantly filled the air.

The chaotic sky changed color. Dust flew all over, mixing with the rain of blood that fell.

The thirty-odd peak Consummation quasi-Emperors sent out such a dense combination of killing moves. They really thought highly of Xiao Chen.

Two lights came out of Xiao Chen’s eyes—one golden and one white. The Origin Flames of the Solar True Flame and the Lunar True Flame appeared in a dazzling manner and started chasing each other.

Instantly, the two flames formed the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram. The two extreme flames of diametrically opposite attributes merged perfectly with the mediation of the Taiji Diagram.

Yinyang, four divisions, the eight trigrams, and other scenes appeared around the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram. The Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram shone with great golden light and encased the surrounding space.

It was like a wall made of the five elements, blocking all of the approaching killing moves.

This time, Xiao Chen did not hold back, using the Origin Flames to activate the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram.

Previously, Xiao Chen did not use the Origin Flames of the Solar True Flame and the Lunar True Flame. This magnificent Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram was much stronger than any before it.

If the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram was strong enough, it would be able to instantly reflect all the attacks, flustering and inflicting injuries on these thirty-odd Consummation quasi-Emperors. The situation would turn around, and Xiao Chen would hold the upper hand.

However, in the end, facing thirty-odd Inferior Grade Profound Martial Techniques was still pushing it. Even so, the scene that followed completely surpassed everyone’s expectations. To think that the Solar True Flame and Lunar True Flame could actually merge and block so many Profound Martial Techniques!

This stunned the group of people who were originally prepared to kill Xiao Chen in one go.

“Ka ca! Ka ca!”

The Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram shattered, and the various attacks rained on Xiao Chen. However, they were already significantly weakened, and the mysterious phenomena no longer existed.

Xiao Chen continued standing upright with his saber held out. Then, he pushed off the ground. With every step he took, he sent out many saber images covering the sky.

Thunder rumbled above as purple lightning bolts lashed out. Tens of thousands of dragons roared.

With each step, Xiao Chen swung his saber twelve times. In three steps, he broke all the various Profound Martial Techniques.

Xiao Chen strolled amid the thunder dragons and electric saber lights. Every move he made, he controlled it as he pleased, presenting no openings.

Such a shocking scene!
