Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 917 - Disgusting Martial God Palace

Chapter 917: Disgusting Martial God Palace

Xiao Chen did not linger here. The three old men from the Heaven and Earth Sect had definitely leaked news of his presence in this city.

The Martial God Palace’s sudden postponement of his King conferring ceremony was not a good sign. Although Xiao Chen was a human race cultivator, the Martial God Palace would not protect him with all its might.

The enemies of the Azure Emperor from back then would probably make a move in the dark. As far as he knew, these would include three of the Sovereign Noble Clans of the human race.

Furthermore, there was Mister Qin, whom he had slapped in the Merfolk Race’s dreamlike castle. At that time, he had not been confident of forcing Mister Qin to stay, so he could only let him go.

Once Mister Qin learned of Xiao Chen’s location, he would no doubt mobilize the resources and manpower of his Medicine God Valley to go after him.

After that, there was still the bounty the Profound Water Sect’s Sect Master offered—a King Grade Secret Treasure that a Martial Emperor personally refined. The experts of the Heavenly Starry Ocean might rush over for that.

Thinking carefully, Xiao Chen realized that he had a lot of enemies. He put away the three Immortal Swords and the Big Dipper Banner before stepping on a lightning dragon and quickly going far away. He did not have time to check on the wealth within the three’s spatial rings.

The moment he exited the city gates, three people blocked his way, preventing him from leaving. These three young men looked extraordinary with an elegant air about them, exuding pride.

Xiao Chen recognized one of them. It was Yan Shisan’s brother, Yan Shisi. Back then, they had fought each other for the top rank of the Proud Son of Heaven Ranking.

If Xiao Chen did not guess wrong, the other two should be scions of two of the other Sovereign Noble Clans—the Jiang Clan and the Lin Clan.

“We are in luck. It looks like the Medicine God Valley’s Mister Qin did not lie. Brother Xiao, you are indeed here,” Yan Shisi said with a relaxed expression, a smile appearing on his face.

The Medicine God Valley’s Mister Qin? Xiao Chen felt confused. How did Mister Qin know about his movements?

As the other two people sized up Xiao Chen, they were somewhat shocked. They had not expected him to be only a Medial Grade Martial Sage.

However, Xiao Chen’s cultivation was very stable. His Heavenly Sage Laws were denser than normal. However, if that was all, it would not be possible for him to have such a horrifying reputation.

Yan Shisi had fought with Xiao Chen before and knew what Xiao Chen was like. He warned, “Brother Lin, Brother Jiang, don’t be fooled by this person’s cultivation. He cultivates a special Cultivation Technique, so his cultivation is slow. However, if you look down on him for that, you will only die an unsightly death.”

These three people were all outstanding talents with Sovereign Noble Clans backing them. They were very confident and much stronger than ordinary Superior Grade Martial Sages.

Xiao Chen had just been wondering whether the Sovereign Noble Clans would come or not. Unexpectedly, he ended up meeting them at the city gates. His luck was terrible.

However, his expression remained placid. He smiled faintly and said, “You three Sovereign Noble Clan scions are not training in the Profound Domain. Instead, you came to this Primal Chaos Domain to block my way. What’s wrong?”

The Jiang Clan scion beside Yan Shisi smiled coldly. “Nothing’s wrong. We just want your head. We cannot permit the appearance of a second Azure Emperor.”

The Lin Clan scion, who wore blue robes, added, “Xiao Chen, the Martial God Palace delayed your King conferring ceremony. Clearly, they do not support you. The Three Holy Masters probably hope that you will die in our hands, preventing the title Azure Dragon King from coming back into use.

“Today, you will not be able to flee from us. No matter how famous you were before this, it will all vanish like smoke.”

Yan Shisi smiled calmly and said, “Since the day you announced that you are the Azure Emperor’s descendant, you were destined to die. Dying at our hands would be much better than dying at the hands of those loose cultivators.”

“The few of you are really so devoted to righteousness that it inspires reverence. Unfortunately, although many people want this Xiao’s head, no one has succeeded yet. Today, you will be disappointed as well.”

Xiao Chen’s eyes turned cold. Without further nonsense, his figure trembled, and a bright saber light shot out from his body. This saber light looked as brilliant as the moon, sporting an incredibly sharp edge as it flew towards Yan Shisi.

Yan Shisi did not display any fear. Nine suns appeared above him and formed a ring. A heatwave surged out, turning the air scorching.

He circulated his Heavenly Sage Laws. His strong and deep cultivation made his aura looked like it was greater than Xiao Chen’s. When he saw the saber light arriving, he did not hesitate to send out a punch.

The nine suns above Yan Shisi’s head flared. This punch gave off an overwhelming heatwave, looking very mighty.

“Bang!”

Thunderous noises erupted in the air. Both of them moved back a hundred steps with shocked expressions on their faces.

What shocked Xiao Chen was that his opponent’s cultivation was truly incredibly deep. Even circulating his Flawless saber Dao actually only allowed Xiao Chen to fight on an equal level. Against an ordinary Superior Grade Martial Sage, Xiao Chen would have had the advantage after this attack.

Yan Shisi was even more shocked than Xiao Chen. He was already a middle-stage Superior Grade Martial Sage. He was a cultivation grade higher than Xiao Chen, yet he failed to overwhelm him.

On the contrary, a saber-like purple energy was cutting into his flesh and bones, inflicting incomparable pain.

Two figures flashed—the scions of the Lin Clan and Jiang Clan. They did not give Xiao Chen any breathing space, immediately charging over. They both executed their best Martial Techniques, causing winds to blow and howl, making the sky change color.

Xiao Chen suppressed the blazing Quintessence in his body. Then, a bright moon rose behind him. Snow fell around him, and he started to fight with the two.

Waves moved around the Lin Clan scion, a river gushing under his feet. Shadows flickered around the Jiang Clan scion, and thousands of shadows moved around, materializing a strange mysterious phenomenon.

Soon after, Yan Shisi flicked his wrist and drew his sword. Together with the light of the nine suns, he entered the fray.

Peach blossoms bloomed, the summer sun rose, the autumn wind blew, and the winter snow fell. Xiao Chen materialized the mysterious phenomenon of Flawless Four Seasons and moved about the three.

However, the four seasons were not very useful. Only the Winter Saber was perfected. The other three seasons were somewhat weaker. When Xiao Chen fought one-on-three, he appeared very passive. Danger surrounded him.

This time, Xiao Chen had run into strong enemies. Like him, his opponents were talented individuals. They had abundant resources and their clans as their backers. They had used many more Spirit Herbs than he had.

Fighting these three by himself would be quite difficult if he did not use his Magic Skill.

“Xiao Chen, is this all you are capable of? We have not even used our King Grade Secret Treasures.” When the Lin Clan scion saw that Xiao Chen still seemed to have reserved strength even when fighting the three of them, he mocked him, trying to force Xiao Chen to take out his trump card.

Yan Shisi sliced through the snowlike saber lights with his sword. Then, he smiled and said, “Brother Xiao Chen, just take out whatever trump card you have. Otherwise, you might never get to use it.”

“Haha! He probably cannot. The Azure Emperor did not leave any treasures for this fellow.”

This time, the three of them committed themselves to killing Xiao Chen. Even after they gained the upper hand, they did not drop their guard. They even used their words to agitate Xiao Chen, trying to force him to expose his trump card before doing away with him.

Xiao Chen smiled coldly to himself. He said in a monotone, “You best not force me to use my trump card. Otherwise, none of the three of you will be able to escape.”

“You speak in a shockingly arrogant tone. This Young Master wants to see your trump card today.” Suddenly, a large three-legged cauldron appeared above the Lin Clan scion’s head. The cauldron had all sorts of ancient mutated beasts carved on it, and berserk roars came from within.

“This is a replica of my Lin Clan’s Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron. Today, I will show you the true power of a Sovereign Noble Clan,” the Lin Clan scion shouted ferociously.

As he formed hand seals, the Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron started trembling. The roars coming from the cauldron became more berserk and agitated.

Suddenly, the atmosphere turned oppressive as if something dreadful was about to befall.

“Boom!”

A huge snake image with feathered wings leaped out of the cauldron. This was precisely the ancient mutated beast Thousand Feathered Snake. Then, a Profound Sun Bird image covered in flames screeched and flew out. After that, a malicious, completely black flood dragon emerged.

This was just the start. As the Lin Clan scion continued flashing hand seals, a parade of fearsome ancient mutated beast images materialized from the cauldron. A hundred beasts had appeared before it came to a stop.

When the hundred beasts appeared, they covered the sky, circling the Lin Clan scion overhead and radiating a horrifying aura.

All the Spirit Beasts within five hundred kilometers felt this aura, the aura of ancient mutated beasts, which were all kings of beasts. The dread arising from their bloodlines panicked these Spirit Beasts, setting off a stampede.

Xiao Chen’s expression changed slightly. The original Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron should be an Emperor Grade Secret Treasure. This replica was refined using only divine materials, a true peak King Grade Secret Treasure. The earlier three Immortal Swords could not compare to this at all.

The accumulations of a Sovereign Noble Clan were indeed immeasurable. Using only ten percent of the cauldron’s might, this person could create such an atmosphere. How terrifying!

“Brother Yan, Brother Jiang, make way. Watch as my hundred beasts directly crush this fellow. Trump card? I don’t believe that you can take out any trump card.”

The Lin Clan scion roared ferociously, and the hundred beasts above charged at Xiao Chen as a savage horde.

The wings of the Thousand Feathered Snake were like knives, fire lit up on the Profound Sun Bird’s claws, the black flood dragon spat out pitch-black flames. The hundred beasts charging looked very mighty. The Lin Clan scion seemed to want to use these hundred beasts to trample Xiao Chen to death.

With a hundred beasts roaring out, their might overwhelmed the heavens.

A dense cloud of ancient mutated beast images filled the sky. Each and every one of them—Thousand Feathered Snake, Deep Sea Black Flood Dragon, Heavenly Phoenix, and all the others—had terrifying origins.

The Jiang Clan scion and Yan Shisi watched, waiting to see how Xiao Chen would react. The Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron in the Lin Clan scion’s hands was no ordinary King Grade Secret Treasure. Even just ten percent of its might was still sufficient to force back a grandmaster-level Martial Sage.

If a Superior Grade Martial Sage faced this, they would perish instantly. This was the Lin Clan scion’s lifesaving measure, which could preserve his life at a crucial moment.

Now that the Lin Clan scion used this attack to deal with Xiao Chen, even if Xiao Chen had other trump cards, he would be extremely fatigued after suffering from this.

When Xiao Chen saw these hundred beasts charging over, he prepared to use the Dragon Subduing Slash’s profoundness of dragon subjugation. However, he suddenly thought of something. Then, a medallion appeared in his hand.

This item was the treasure of the Merfolk Race—the Holy Beast Medallion. Yao Yan had said that this medallion could suppress ancient mutated beasts. It even managed to seal a real Thousand Feathered Snake inside it and allowed her to control the creature as she wished.

Against these mutated beast images, it should at least have some effect. The Magic Energy in Xiao Chen’s sea of consciousness surged, and he immediately activated the Holy Beast Medallion.

The plain and simple-looking Holy Beast Medallion shot out a beam of golden light. Then, the light encased the black flood dragon leading the horde. Xiao Chen felt his Magic Energy drain. Strong suction came from the Holy Beast Medallion in his right hand, pulling the black flood dragon over.
