Chapter 1 Rebirth

  "Who says I'm hiding?"

  The figures on the scene became fewer and fewer, finally becoming four, each occupying one of the east, south, west, and north, surrounding Yu Cang in the middle.

  "Let you taste the 'Four Symbols Formation' that I just figured out. Today, I'll use you as the first stepping stone for my Four Symbols Formation."

  This was Chen Xuan's sudden idea when he was refining his equipment, combining his own divided shadow with his main body to create a fusion strike formation.

  "The Four Heavenly Kings."

  This is the name of Chen Xuan's new creation, the first move of his formation. The four men simultaneously threw out a punch, and the fist wind transformed into a giant tiger mouth in mid-air, rushing towards Cang Bao.

  "Gun shadow disappeared. Give me broken."

  Yu Cang Chao's giant tiger's mouth unleashed the Thirteen Guns of Pursuing Wind, its most powerful killing move.

  Rumble.

  A whirlwind was stirred up, and the huge rocks at the foot of the mountain were all shattered by the impact of these two moves, causing chaos in the air, even space shook slightly, and the middle arena was completely shrouded in dust.

  "Lost?" Chen Xuan stood in the outer dark corridor.

  Standing on the periphery of the whirlwind, Speechless Brother also looked at the scene with incredulity. The power of this move was too great, it was as if four high-ranking masters in the Spiritual Martial Realm were attacking simultaneously. Where did this kid come from and how could he possess such terrifying martial skills?

  The dust on the field quickly dissipated, and Yu Cang, standing in the middle, was covered in tatters, his clothes all torn to shreds, with a large amount of fresh blood gushing out from the corner of his mouth. His eyes were wide open, filled with raging flames.

  "You little mongrel, you've actually pushed me to this point. Very well, next I'll let you taste my final move."

  "Godly Gun's Tail."

  He unleashed the final move of the Thirteen Guns of Pursuing Wind in the warehouse.

  Rumble.

  Air burst, the entire gun law has already enveloped Chen Xuan in this move, unavoidable, can only harden to receive this move. Just now fighting with Yu Cang, Chen Xuan never used all his spiritual power from start to finish.

  "A thousand miles of crimson flames."

  Chen Xuan Chao thought he had come up with a brilliant idea, and this punch was executed with 90% of Chen Xuan's strength.

  Chen Xuan's physical body was now comparable to a mid-grade spiritual artifact, and the Flame Fist technique that Chi Yan had mastered had transformed into a gigantic fist. The divine gun that Cang Yu had shot out with his tail struck Chen Xuan's fist head-on.

  "Hop."

  The ground sank, the surrounding trees fell in a large area, and the broken branches flew everywhere. Chen Xuan retreated four or five steps, while Yu Cang was knocked flying dozens of meters away by Chen Xuan's fist, lying on the ground unconscious. He had already been injured by Chen Xuan's previous move, Four Paths to Heaven, and was severely hurt again after being struck by Chen Xuan's divine gun. If he wasn't dead, he was at least seriously injured.

  Chen Xuan didn't look at Yu Cang, but instead looked at this outer sect's Shi Shixiong.

  "I know you're also under Ling Feng's orders, so are you planning to fight me again or can we let this go? If you want to make a move, I'll accompany you to the end."

  "Don't think that just because you defeat us, we'll let you go. There are still people waiting for you upstairs. Our strength is not enough to hold you back, but the ones upstairs will be able to. Don't be too arrogant, kid."

  Yan Shixiong finished speaking and picked up Yu Cang who was lying on the ground and rushed out.

  Chen Xuan did not stop them, they were also instructed by someone, simply to pick up again and rush to the top of Douling Peak. When he arrived at the halfway point of Douling Peak, Chen Xuan stopped again, and two middle-aged men stood in front of him, blocking his way.

  "Are you waiting for me too?" Chen Xuan asked first.

  "I didn't expect Yu Cang and Yan Cheng Chi to not leave you behind, it seems you still have some skills. However, if you want to rescue your friend, this bit of strength is probably not enough. I advise you to just honestly hand over the 100,000 Spirit Dan, I think you're a decent talent, it would be a pity to waste you like this."

  A person standing on the left side of Chen Xuan sighed with regret.

  "My affairs don't need your instruction, less nonsense, hurry up and make a move, are you going to fight or let me pass?"

  Chen Xuan was too lazy to bother talking nonsense with them.

  "After we get through this, you can meet the person you're looking for directly. Come on, let me, Li Chang, meet with you."

  The man who just spoke to Chen Xuan said.

  A man named Li Chang drew out a long sword from behind him, a mid-grade spiritual artifact. Chen Xuan could tell the quality of this sword at a glance.

  "What you said is right, this sword is a mid-grade spiritual artifact, Gǔ Rì Sword." Li Changdao said.

  "Come on, let me see what's so special about that thing, it can actually exchange for 200,000 yuan ling dan at once."

  Li Chang had already attacked Chen Xuan with his long sword while he was speaking.

  "Whoosh."

  Chen Xuan retreated, and Li Chang's long sword seemed to be attached to Chen Xuan's body, no matter how far he retreated, the sword always maintained a distance of one foot.

  "What kind of swordsmanship is this."

  Chen Xuan's long sword also moved to the left, splitting apart, and finally split out a separate shadow before Chen Xuan was able to escape from the control of the long sword.

  "Not bad, kid. You actually managed to dodge the first move of my 'Ghost Shadow Sword', 'Shadow Follows'."

  A middle-aged man named Li Chang spoke up.

  "Next, let's see if you can handle the second move, Ghostly Shadowless."

  The long sword transformed into thousands of fierce ghosts that came towards Chen Xuan, covering the sky and earth. One punch broke all laws, Chen Xuan punched out at all the fierce ghosts, scarlet flames filled the sky, the scarlet flames burning the fierce ghosts emitted miserable screams; The middle-aged man withdrew his long sword.

  "It seems that those two didn't lose to you unfairly. You can take on the next two moves, and your strength has already reached the late stage of Spiritual Martial Realm."

  "Once again, I'll unleash the third move of my Ghost Shadow Sword, Ghost Shadow Annihilation."

  At this time, the long sword transformed into a myriad of swords, trapping Chen Xuan in the middle of the sword array.

  "This is my Locking Ghost Formation, and even a True Martial Realm cultivator would be trapped inside and need to exert some effort to break through." Li Chang said confidently.

  "Is it? Then let me break your Lock Ghost Formation, I'll break it." Chen Xuan threw a punch at the Qian position of the formation.

  Chen Xuan saw that this dry position should be the weakest link in this formation.

  "Bang bang bang."

  The formation appeared in a state of confusion, but soon reformed, and Li Chang, who was standing outside the formation controlling it, was also shocked. He didn't expect this kid to find the lock ghost formation's eye so quickly.

  It's not the case, Chen Xuan had come into contact with many formations when refining his own spiritual instrument. If it were in the past, he might have quickly discovered the weakness of the formation. Now that he understands some formations, Chen Xuan quickly found the array eye of the Locking Ghost Formation. As long as the array eye is broken, the entire formation will collapse on its own.

  "Swap."

  Li Chang, who controlled the formation method, changed the formation again. The Qian position became the main formation once more, and the Ten Thousand Swords flew towards Chen Xuan again. The Four Directions of Heaven appeared in the formation once more, and four Chen Xuans appeared, flying towards the incoming swords, striking out the first move of the Four Symbols Formation.

  "Rumble, rumble, rumble..."

  The boulder on the mountain fell, and countless flying swords struck Chen Xuan, causing him to fall. The remaining three split shadows quickly disappeared. At the foot of the mountain, Chen Xuan performed the Four Directions Heavenly Sword technique, using only 30% of his power, and shattered Yu Cang's Gun Shadow. Now, he had unleashed a full 100% of his power, and the surroundings were in disarray. The sword array was also fragmented, and Chen Xuan walked out of the sword array.

  "Why do we still have to keep fighting?"

  "Your name is Chen Xuan, right? I, Li Chang, admit defeat today. Although we are currently tied, I believe your strength won't stop at this level. I see that you still haven't used your weapon, while my sword array, which is my ultimate power, hasn't been able to trap you yet. I didn't expect that even with my peak Lingwu realm, I couldn't take down a mid-level Lingwu realm cultivator like you. You are indeed a talented disciple among the Dan Xuan sect, similar to some of the abnormal ones from the Fourth Hall, all having the ability to challenge higher levels."

  "May I leave?"

  Chen Xuan looked at the two of them, Chen Xuan did not deny Li Chang's words. He was able to challenge across levels, thanks to the Tianyue Decree bringing him several times more spiritual power than others. Plus, the Hunshi had been constantly improving his body, and with the Wanjia True Body, even a pig could almost challenge across levels.

  Chen Xuan walked through the two of them and continued on his way to the summit once again.

  "This time, the inner door disciples' competition is not going to be easy, I've just added it. This time, when I go back, I'll start closing the door and won't come out until I reach the True Martial Realm." Li Chang said, putting away his long sword. "Elder brother Gu, did you also want to take action against him just now?"

  "Li Shixiong, is he really that strong? You've already reached the peak of Lingwu Realm and aren't his match. Even if I, your junior brother, were to take action again, it would be impossible to bring him down." said Gu Shi Di.

  "He's indeed very strong. Unless it's a core disciple of the True Martial Realm, I've never met anyone with such dense spiritual energy in the middle stage of Spiritual Martial Arts. This kid might be cultivating top-grade Earth-level techniques. Even the martial skills he used earlier were at least high-grade Earth-level. Who knows where this kid got these freakish techniques from? He's definitely not as simple as his surface strength suggests. I'll send someone to investigate his background when we get back."
