Chapter Eighty-six: The Death of Zhenwu

  A bright yellow light ball was swaying back and forth in Chen Xuan's hand, and when he saw this light ball, he thought of the grenade from his previous life. The two were completely different but had a similar effect. He didn't know how powerful it was, but Chen Xuan could feel that it contained terrifying energy inside. When he fully compressed the light ball, Chen Xuan felt a spiritual connection with it, meaning that wherever he wanted to hit, it would hit there, and the light ball wouldn't even hurt him. Before successfully refining it, every time he used it, he was blown up and covered in injuries all over his body. With his left hand grasping the light ball and his right hand drawing out the evil charm, Chen Xuan walked towards the two of them.

  "Just now you said I should kneel down and kowtow to admit my mistake, do you dare to speak to me, Chen Xuan like this? Today you all have to die. Even if I am killed by the True Martial Realm, it's because you are too greedy. Do you think you can threaten me? I, Chen Xuan, will dominate the world and kill anyone who blocks my way. Die! Soft Slash!" Chen Xuan shouted loudly, his right hand's evil spirit releasing a soft slash that firmly trapped the two in their formation.

  "Mongrel, how long do you think you can still be so arrogant? You dare to spout such reckless words and want to kill a True Martial Realm cultivator. Do you think you're the Holy Son of the Primordial Martial Realm? What a joke! We've been entangled for far too long today, it's time to end this,"

  The Douliang Tianxia, the suddenly enlarged Douliang ruler of Ning Fei Xia, pressed down on Chen Xuan with a huge ruler, and the endless flames wanted to burn Chen Xuan clean. Chen Xuan's bones were crushed by this giant ruler, making a cracking sound. If not for his strong physique, he would have been crushed into a meat paste by this giant ruler.

  "Give it back", Spiral Slash, Chen Xuan's massive ruler shot out dozens of spiral forces, all the spiral forces collided with the giant measuring cup, the measuring cup was knocked flying for several meters, but still hadn't left Chen Xuan's airspace, and was still thinking about continuing to press down on Chen Xuan.

  At this moment, Zhou Tianming's Red Spirit Sword stabbed towards Chen Xuan's chest like a ghost, silently and quietly approaching, with only one foot of distance left before piercing Chen Xuan's heart. If it pierced his heart, even an immortal coming down to the mortal world couldn't save Chen Xuan. In the Lingwu realm, it was still impossible to survive even if the physical body was severely damaged; at least, one had to reach the Dilin realm to be able to regenerate severed limbs, as long as the soul didn't die, the physical body could recover.

  "Seeking death", Chen Xuan saw Zhou Tianming suddenly launch a sneak attack on himself, this sword appeared out of nowhere and was suddenly within a foot of himself, moving erratically to the left and right, Chen Xuan had no way of anticipating his sword trajectory. Chen Xuan was shocked into a cold sweat, Shadow Splitter, Chen Xuan split into three shadows that simultaneously unleashed four cycles of Wheel Return to meet Zhou Tianming's killing blow.

  A loud rumble, three figures were pierced directly by this sword, and couldn't stop this fatal blow. "Damn it," how could Zhou Tianming's sword be so unpredictable, both real and illusory?

  "Done," Xuan Feng, Chen Xuan's evil charm drew an arc in front of his chest to block the attack. Xuan Feng was known for its speed, and the first slash of Qī Shā Dāo (Seven Killings Blade) was the fastest. The slash that cut through the air was the most accurate, and the spiral slash was the most ferocious. Chen Xuan unleashed Xuan Feng to meet this sword, and sparks flew everywhere as his evil charm collided with Zhou Tianming's Red Spirit Sword, producing a massive fireball. Chen Xuan was thrown back, retreating over a dozen steps, but barely managed to block the attack. Only then did Zhou Tianming's figure appear.

  "You little beast, I didn't think you could dodge my killing blow. This sword is one that I obtained from an assassin's hand, and it has never failed me before, but today it was broken by you," said Zhou Tianming.

  Chen Xuan also saw the sword just now, it was so quiet and soundless. If his own shadow hadn't blocked it for him, he would have been stabbed to death by this sword too. He didn't expect Zhou Tianming to be so treacherous, suddenly launching a sneak attack on him while he was fighting Ning Feixia.

  In just a few breaths, Chen Xuan retreated more than ten steps while Ning Fei's Douliangchi was also smashing towards Chen Xuan. Just now, in order to break through this move of absolute killing sword, Ning Fei seized the opportunity and counterattacked. Chen Xuan's evil charm slash released a matchless knife energy that welcomed this giant ruler. The ruler paused in mid-air for several breaths.

  It's now, I've been waiting for this opportunity. With the compressed Starburst in his left hand, it suddenly flew out of his hand, and a golden-yellow sphere shot towards the two people opposite him. Chen Xuan had been waiting until now to attract their attention. Once they came up, he would definitely not have a good effect if he released this Starburst. They must also be prepared. Now, both of them were using all their strength to control the Half Yuan instrument to attack themselves. He had already forgotten that there was still a killer move in his hand, and even if he knew it, he couldn't spare himself now. If Chen Xuan had released this Starburst as soon as they came up, at least these two people could have escaped, and it would be difficult to kill them together. This is also the reason why Chen Xuan fought with them for so long. The Starburst was hidden in his sleeve all along, and finally found an opportunity to shoot out.

  "Not good, retreat quickly!" one of the two shouted, and they both rapidly retreated backwards. Ning Fei Xian didn't even retrieve his paused mid-air Douliangchi, directly retreating instead. Just as Chen Xuan released a golden-yellow orb, both of them caught wind of an aura of death, forcing them to fall back. This was the most basic ability for any warrior; when someone has been in intense battles or life-or-death situations for a long time, they would develop this intuition. Chen Xuan was no exception - otherwise, he wouldn't have sensed that someone was following him in the forest, unless the person's strength was perhaps a hundred times greater than his own.

  The two quickly retreated backwards, while Chen Xuan's Starburst also moved swiftly. When they were still over a dozen meters away, Chen Xuan shouted out a single word from his mouth, "Blast!" A golden-yellow sphere suddenly exploded, and a massive mushroom cloud rose into the air. The entire area was left with a crater dozens of meters deep. It wasn't until after a short while that the ground finally calmed down, and the debris that had been blown up finally fell back to the ground. The surrounding area had already become a desolate wasteland.

  Chen Xuan looked into the big pit and saw two people covered in blood standing in the middle of the pit. One had both arms blown off, while the other had one arm blown off and one leg almost gone, leaving only one leg standing alone. Chen Xuan couldn't tell who was who anymore. Their hair was blown all over their faces, covering them completely, and their clothes were torn to shreds, hanging from their bodies in tatters. On the ground lay some broken flying swords, which must have belonged to Zhou Tianming. The scene before him also shocked Chen Xuan, his heart filled with joy. How could this Star Explosion be so powerful?

  The two people standing in the big pit looked up at Chen Xuan, their eyes filled with endless malice, and blood flowed from their eyes. "You little beast, devil, I want to kill you, I want to kill your whole family, I want everyone related to you to die," one of them said.

  As soon as Chen Xuan heard that it was Zhou Tianming's voice, he suddenly became furious. How dare you make decisions for my family members? Today, I will kill you first. Chen Xuan flew down from above and landed in front of Zhou Tianming. "You just said you wanted to kill my family members, anyone related to me would be killed. Now, I'll kill you first. Anyone who dares to make decisions for my family members must die, including you."

  Zhou Tianming's two arms were blown off, and the Chi Ling sword was also shattered. At this moment, he had lost his sanity and launched a barrage of curses at Chen Xuan in front of him.

  "You're not going to kill my family, are you? Then go die first."

  A flash of knife light swept across Zhou Tianming's throat, and fresh blood splattered everywhere. Zhou Tianming's eyes widened in an instant, and even his dying eyes didn't close, as if he thought he would never die at the hands of an ant. His body slowly fell backwards, and Ning Feixia, standing nearby, felt a chill run down her spine, and her remaining single leg trembled slightly.

  "Chen Xuan, please spare my life, we know we were wrong, we shouldn't have come to plot against you. As long as you can let me go, I promise not to reveal a single word about today's events. Is that okay with you? As long as you can let me off, I'll be your servant and do anything for you," Ning Fei Xian begged, standing on one leg, but Chen Xuan had already killed him with one knife. Zhou Tian Ming was so scared that he quickly begged for mercy;

  "Now you want to beg for mercy? Earlier, which one of you gave me a way out? As the core disciple, instead of helping your fellow disciple, you wanted to kill me for my kung fu skills. What qualifications do you have to ask me to spare your life?" Chen Xuan said to Ning Fei Xiao, who was standing on one leg.

  "I know we were wrong, shouldn't have fought against our own sect's master. Look at me now, my body is ruined and my dantian is destroyed, I won't be a threat to you anymore. Just let me go, from now on I'll leave Danxuan Gate too, how about that?" Ning Feixia continued to beg Chen Xuan to spare his life.

  "Let you go," Chen Xuan said, finishing the three words and bursting into loud laughter. "I, Chen Xuan, might have considered letting you go in the past, but after these few days' events, I am no longer the naive Chen Xuan of before. In the past, I still had a hint of mercy, but I saw your greed, your selfishness, and it made me thoroughly understand the cruelty of the cultivation world. You people only care about your own desires, completely disregarding any camaraderie among fellow disciples. If I let you go, who knows if you won't go out and inform the Bi family?" Chen Xuan said to Ning Feixia.

  "I swear that once I leave, I will hide my name and never speak a word about you killing Bi Shaoqiang," Ning Feixia continued to beg.

  "Do you think I would believe you? The dead are the safest, go die. Your fate was sealed from the moment you started thinking about me." Chen Xuan said calmly.

  "You little bastard, you won't die a good death. Even if I become a ghost after I die, I'll come back to haunt you. One day, you'll also be killed by someone. Ning Fei Xue saw Chen Xuan and couldn't forgive himself, starting to scold Chen Xuan furiously. After finishing, he burst out laughing. Ning Fei Xue, who entered the True Martial Realm at 20 years old, was also a genius. Who would have thought that today I'd die here?" Ning Fei Xue's laughter was filled with endless sorrow;

  "We're all cultivators, what nonsense about ghosts or not. Even if there really are ghosts, I'll still kill them directly," after finishing speaking, a blade of light flashed across Ning Feixia's throat, the loud laughter stopped abruptly, and Ning Feixia also fell backwards;
