Chapter 121: War with Tang Xiu

  The third update!

  ——

  The observation deck was silent!

  All the masters present were shocked by Chen Xiaoqi's lightning-fast movements, and those with sharp eyes could see that Chen Xiaoqi's movements had already reached the realm of Taoist intention!

  The meaning of Tao is the understanding and perception of the Heavenly Way.

  The path of cultivation, no matter how good the origin is, no matter how many elixirs there are, no matter how carefully the master teaches and points out the mysteries, if one does not grasp even a thread of the subtlety of the Heavenly Way, not only will martial arts cultivation stagnate, but also it's impossible to ascend to immortality in this lifetime.

  Because wanting to ascend to heaven, one must go through the heavenly tribulation of the mortal world. The higher the realm of enlightenment, the greater the chance of passing through the heavenly tribulation!

  Apart from some freak geniuses, generally speaking, the understanding of the Heavenly Way by all cultivators in the world is traceable.

  The day after tomorrow, cultivators will diligently cultivate and break through their own obstacles, allowing them to have a vague understanding of the Heavenly Dao. This realm is the foundation for this.

  Congenital masters draw in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, exploring the subtleties of the evolution of spiritual energy, called 'knowing the subtle'.

  Zifu Xiu Shi laid the foundation of the Great Way, merged with heaven and earth, and the realm he pursued was 'Heaven and Man United'.

  And 'Tao Yi', is the realm of martial arts that Huang Ting Xiu Shi wants to explore!

  It was also because of this that when they realized Chen Xiao's purple mansion repair method, and understood the 'Taoist intention', the monks present were so shocked.

  "Who is this young man?"

  "This child's future prospects will definitely be boundless!"

  "Hurry up and investigate, get all the information about this child, no matter how trivial, and find out everything. A talent like this is worth any cost to recruit!"

  After a brief silence, the spectator's stand suddenly boiled over with excitement, and everyone was talking at once, frequently glancing at Chen Xiao on the stage, as if they wanted to see what kind of person he really was.

  "It's a boundary of Taoist intention! It seems that I've done something stupid this time......" On the spectator platform, Yan Qingniu looked at Chen Yu on the stage, lost in thought and muttering to himself, his face changing unpredictably.

  "Chen Tai is too abnormal, every time I see him, I have a feeling of not knowing him at all. It's really infuriating!" Endo Takeru gritted his teeth and said.

  "It's indeed very perverted." Du Qingxi and Song Lin deeply agreed.

  Although they said so, their faces were filled with joy and pride. Chen's victory also made them feel proud and honored.

  "Sister! I want to take Chen as my master!" Mu Wenfei suddenly said, his expression extremely firm.

  "Ah, you're not going to the Liuyun Sword Sect?" Murong Yao was taken aback, then seemed to be thinking and said: "If Big Brother Chen is willing to accept you as his disciple, it's indeed a fortunate thing. Alas, I just don't know if Big Brother Chen is willing to accept you."

  "What a fool! He doesn't even know the true strength of his enemy, and yet he charges forward first. Isn't this just asking for death?" On the other side of the arena, Xie Zhan was growling in a low voice, "Tang Xu, you go up. That kid is only slightly faster than us, be careful and guard against him. With your cultivation at the second level of the Purple Mansion, you will definitely be able to kill him!"

  Tang Xu nodded slightly, his ordinary and unremarkable face still calm and serene, as if he hadn't been disturbed by the surroundings at all.

  "I... I admit... defeat!" On the stage, Lin Shaoyi, who was being choked by Chen Yao's hand on his neck, finally managed to squeeze out a broken voice.

  "Get out! Next time I see you bullying others, I won't let you off!" Chen Tai waved his hand and threw Lin Shaoyi off the stage like trash.

  "In the first round, Xie Zhan Gongzi's side lost." The beautiful and elegant waitress walked onto the stage, her eyes shining with a hint of color as she smiled and said: "Congratulations to this young master on winning the first round."

  Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Let's start the second round."

  "It seems the young master can't wait any longer." The female attendant smiled charmingly, her eyes gleaming with an otherworldly allure. With a sweep of her gaze across the surrounding spectator stands, she declared in a clear voice: "The second round, let it begin now."

  Knock knock knock...

  Just as the waitress walked down from the stage, a rhythmic sound of footsteps, like drumbeats, stepped onto the stage with an unusual rhythm.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  The arena suddenly fell silent, everyone felt their heart beating with those footsteps, jumping violently, the whole body's energy and true yuan also surged, the mind almost lost control.

  Some with slightly weaker constitutions suddenly had a look of crying and laughing on their faces, dazed and stunned, as if they had fallen into a trance.

  Just then, amidst this strange footstep sound, a young man in a feathered robe, Tang Xu, walked onto the stage. Until he stopped his footsteps, that strange footstep sound disappeared, and the crowd around the stage couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

  Immediately, all eyes were on Tang Xu's body, countless doubts surged in their minds, who was this guy? Where did he come from? What kind of kung fu was he practicing, just the sound of his footsteps could captivate people's hearts?

  Wow!

  The Xuanjin Great Formation on the stage was activated again, forming a light screen that enveloped Tang Xu and Chen Tai.

  "I cultivate the 'Huishui Xuan Shen Gong', at the age of eight, I sat in meditation for nine years in the extremely cold and dark land of the far north, using the Nine You Xuan Water to temper my body and spirit, advancing to the third realm of Lian Ti Zifu. My flesh is soft as water when it's relaxed, but hard as steel when tense, so no matter how fast your speed is, if your power is not enough, it's still useless against me."

  Tang Xiu's ordinary face didn't show any ripples, and he slowly said: "Moreover, I have also cultivated the divine ability 'Fa Xiang Tian Di' and the 'Jiuyin Xuangling Sword'. When combined, they can..."

  Chen Yu waved his hand and interrupted: "Are you here to chat with me?"

  He naturally knew that Tang Xu was trying to make himself retreat and fear in his heart, like a demon, affecting his own strength.

  Unfortunately, Tang Xu didn't know that Chen Yao had been contemplating the image of Fuxi day and night, and after going through many fierce battles, his Taoist heart was already as solid and resilient as possible. How could he be affected by a few words?

  What's more, Chen Yao was also a body cultivator, and the technique he practiced was the "Zhou Tian Xing Lüe Duàn Body Technique" which was passed down from ancient times. His understanding of the strength of body cultivators was much deeper than that of ordinary cultivators. Tang Xu wanted to intimidate him with his advantage as a body cultivator, but it seemed somewhat childish and laughable.

  Tang Xiuming was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Chen Tang's reaction to be so indifferent. He shook his head and said, "Underestimating the enemy can cost you your life."

  "Are you a man?" Chen Xiao suddenly asked.

  Tang Xuzhang replied, "Of course." He immediately reacted and angrily said, "Are you scolding me for not being a man?"

  Chen Xiao shrugged: "I think you're not a woman either."

  "You scold me as a eunuch?" Tang Xu's face suddenly turned gloomy.

  Chen Xiao smiled and said: "Right, no eggs, only playing small tricks and petty schemes eunuchs."

  "Seeking death! Heaven and earth are upside down!" Tang Xu suddenly let out a loud roar, his entire body suddenly surging with rolling steam, transforming into a river-like figure, waves crashing, his breath instantly soaring to the extreme, already transformed into a giant over 10 zhang tall.

  This giant, as if composed of flowing water, had limbs, skull, and torso that were all flowing with black water flows. A strong aura of coldness spread through the air, instantly condensing into small pieces of ice flowers that fluttered about, carrying a sharp chill. In front of him, Chen Su was like a tiny little thing.

  This is the Divine Transformation Heaven and Earth, which allows the body to change into a height of over ten zhang, with physical strength increasing several times, while agility remains unaffected. It's an extremely powerful auxiliary divine transformation that almost all gods and demons practiced in ancient times, allowing them to exert greater power during battle.

  Even "practicing the law of heaven and earth" to the extreme, one can become as tall and majestic as a mountain range of ten thousand feet, with just a wave of their hand or a movement of their foot, they can destroy mountains and rivers with sheer physical strength, it's terrifying.

  "Jiuyin Xuanling Sword!"

  Tang Xiu transformed into a giant over ten zhang tall, and with a loud roar, a massive sword suddenly burst out from his body. The sword was as vast as a wave, its surface covered in dense, mysterious symbols that looked like delicate ripples or agile tadpoles swimming back and forth along the one-zhang-long blade, releasing circles of transparent ripples.

  Chen Xiao's eyes narrowed, and the law of heaven and earth didn't need to be said. The cultivator who practiced it would have explosive power and a strong physique. And this "Nine Yin Xuan Ling Sword" was condensed with witchcraft, and it could actually display such an aura, making him also feel a burst of astonishment.

  Omnipotent and powerful, cultivators who possess divine abilities don't need any magical artifacts; their attack power is enough to kill any enemy!

  "Die!"

  Tang Xiu held a giant sword, and with one slash, tens of thousands of waves surged out, emitting millions of strange and piercing howls, as if shaking the entire arena, the momentum was extremely frightening.

  "Whoosh!"

  Chen Yao Shi Zhan Shen Feng Hua Yu Dun Fa, dodged to one side of the arena, and at the same time eight handles of Xuan Ming flying swords suddenly flew out, swiftly exceeding lightning speed, heading straight for Tang Xu's head.

  Splash!

  Tang Xu didn't dodge or evade, the eight mystical flying swords instantly beheaded him, but a surge of water appeared and condensed, and on his neck, another head emerged, incredibly unscathed!

  "Huh?" Chen Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and before he could comprehend the situation, the Jiuyin Xuanling Sword came crashing down with a thousand waves, forcing him to dodge to one side.

  "Hiding? How long can you hide?" Tang Xu sneered, his body flashing as he wielded the Nine Yin Xuan Ling Sword, stirring up a rolling torrent that swept across the land.

  The arena was only a hundred feet in range, but Tang Xiu's sword strike almost enveloped the entire arena. Water waves surged everywhere, and strange whistles boomed. Chen Xiao's space to dodge became extremely narrow.

  Splash!

  On the ground, a black water flow suddenly rose, surging at a visible speed, and soon turned the arena into a huge pool. The cold mist, the icy breath that escaped, was like a knife blade, tearing the light curtain around the arena with a shrill, ear-piercing sound.

  Is this the power of the Divine Demon's Body Refining Technique?

  On the spectator platform, pairs of eyes were wide open, staring at Tang Xiu who was standing on the arena like a god or devil, wielding his sword and fighting fiercely. Every face had an uncontrollable hint of horror rising up.

  Omnipotent!

  Among peers, the divine demon's physical refinement suppresses all spiritual refinements, and this statement is indeed true.

  "Will Chen Xiao be alright?" Du Mu Ze asked worriedly, although he knew that Chen Xiao had killed Huang Ting Xiu Shi and even the Two Instrument Golden Elixir Cultivators, but seeing Tang Xu's mighty display on the stage, he couldn't help but feel anxious.

  "No!" Du Qingxi's expression was uncertain, but his tone was extremely firm: "Don't you see, Chen Tang is looking for weaknesses and waiting for an opportunity to strike."

  On the other side of the arena, Xie Zhan's spirit was high and he applauded loudly, saying: "Good! Good! Good! The Divine Demon Body Refining Technique is indeed formidable, haha..."

  Whoosh!

  Chen Yao's figure was like a wisp of wind, floating and dodging in mid-air on the arena, continuously evading the attacks of the giant swords and water flows around him. It seemed perilous, but he always managed to find a thread of opportunity in the midst of danger, effortlessly dodging and weaving through the attacks.

  But in his heart, he was observing Tang Xiu's divine ability attack method. This was the first time he had fought a cultivator with magical powers and divine abilities, there were too many things to learn from this opportunity, how could he easily let it slip away?

  "The height shrouded by the light screen of the arena is only about 200 zhang, I'll see how long you can hide!"

  Standing in the midst of the surging waters, Tang Xiu was like a monarch standing on his own territory, wielding the Nine Yin Xuanyuan Sword. The waves were turbulent and roaring, like a dragon rushing forward, like a tiger's roar, stirring up tens of thousands of water flows, closely pursuing Chen Tai's figure without letting go.

  Chen Xiao remained silent, but in his heart, a thread of enlightenment rose, "My Star-Devouring Great Hand Seal now possesses the power of Saturn and Jupiter, and also secretly contains the way of stellar movement. Compared to this Nine-Yin Xuanling Sword that only has nine condensed Xuan waters, it's clearly superior by more than one level..."
