Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

“Boom!”

A blue ball of sword Qi gave off an endless hum as it flew towards Ao Jiao, who had her hands full with Situ Lei. The ball was the accumulation of thousands of sword Qi. Its impact would be tantamount to getting struck by thousands of swords.

This was Liu Chen’s killing move. He wanted to make use of this chance to take down Ao Jiao in one strike, to force her to submit.

At this critical moment, the jadelike Xiao Chen within the shrubbery suddenly opened his eyes, and a brilliant and sharp light came from them.

The light withdrew, and Xiao Chen’s eyes turned cold and emotionless. He stood up, and a vast surging lightning-attributed Quintessence gathered in his right hand.

Xiao Chen clenched his hand into a fist and punched the blue ball of sword Qi flying through the air.

The electric light exploded like fire, blasting apart the blue ball containing boundless sword Qi. A single punch shattered the ball into strands of sword Qi that dissipated in all directions.

The punch broke Liu Chen’s attack. Xiao Chen looked and saw Situ Lei overwhelming Ao Jiao. His cold eyes did not carry any shred of emotion.

An Azure Dragon image appeared under Xiao Chen’s feet from nowhere. It carried him up in the air, and he punched without hesitation.

Thunder roared in the sky, and Xiao Chen’s fist flickered with a seemingly immortal electric light. His long hair fluttered, and in the fitful purple light, he looked like a war god who descended to the mortal realm, filled with might.

The instant Xiao Chen got near Situ Lei, he activated the ancient sovereign’s aura. The vast aura pressed down like a mountain, forcing Situ Lei to freeze.

Xiao Chen took this opportunity to get up close and send a fist flickering with purple electric light at Situ Lei’s chest.

“Bang!”

When Xiao Chen’s fist landed on Situ Lei’s chest like a flash of lightning streaking across the sky, it gave off a thunderous sound. Vast lightning-attributed Quintessence poured wildly into Situ Lei’s body through his chest.

Situ Lei’s black hair stood on end from all the electricity. His face paled, and his body went flying back.

“Ao Jiao, get in. However these people struck at you, I’ll help you strike back at them.”

Xiao Chen looked expressionlessly at the two in front of him. Killing Qi surged out his eyes, and his aura swelled continuously. The flickering electricity made his delicate face look particularly striking.

Ao Jiao revealed a smile on her pale face. No matter how much she suffered, it was worth it after hearing this sentence. She never needed to doubt Xiao Chen’s words. Either he would not say anything or he accomplished whatever he said.

The feeble Ao Jiao turned into a beam of light and entered the Immortal Spirit Ring.

Now, Situ Lei and Liu Chen looked at Xiao Chen with shock on their faces. Even though they were half-Sages, they unexpectedly felt a trace of timidity before him.

Xiao Chen had shattered Liu Chen’s ball of sword Qi with one punch and then knocked Situ Lei into the air with another punch. The strength that Xiao Chen revealed after consuming the thousand-year-old White Nascent Fruit far surpassed their expectations.

Xiao Chen waved his left hand, and the Lunar Shadow Saber appeared in his grip. He looked at the two and said indifferently, “Make your move. Show me what qualifications you have to take my Lunar Shadow Saber.”

Liu Chen and Situ Lei exchanged glances, seeing the incredulity in each other’s expression. The white-robed bladesman they had hounded twice into misery actually took the initiative to challenge them.

“Since you wish to die so much, then, I, Situ Lei, will grant you death!”

Situ Lei could no longer endure the look of disdain in Xiao Chen’s eyes. He swung his spear and sent out an attack.

In the spear’s wake, the nine flame dragons behind Situ Lei surged out and flew wildly towards Xiao Chen.

Liu Chen’s face turned cold. As he looked at Xiao Chen’s Lunar Shadow Saber, a greedy expression flashed in his eyes. He quickly followed after Situ Lei, sending out nine starlike blue balls of sword Qi.

The attacks of the two were precisely the Heaven Ranked Martial Techniques that defeated Xiao Chen the last time. They planned to severely injure Xiao Chen again, this time not giving him any chance to flee.

Unfortunately, the two did not know that Xiao Chen had allowed them to defeat him the last time. Now, his cultivation had improved considerably. He had not only advanced to Superior Grade Martial Monarch but also refined his Quintessence twice again.

Now, Xiao Chen was nothing like his previous self. How could he care about these two moves?

Xiao Chen placed his right hand on the saber and tilted his body forward. He quickly circulated his Quintessence for the Dragon Subduing Slash.

He slowly withdrew his surging aura, hiding it. Then he remained motionless like a hibernating dragon. He merely analyzed the trajectories of the two’s killing moves.

When the two Heaven Ranked Martial Techniques arrived eight meters before him, he suddenly stirred.

Xiao Chen turned into a True Dragon and took a step forward. With just this one step, the ground cracked, a pitch-dark fissure extending continuously to the front.

Hidden Dragon in the Depths, the gentleman plans before taking action; Soaring Dragon, the dragon soars through the nine heavens, shaking the world!

As Xiao Chen soared into the air, following the feeling in his heart, he drew the Lunar Shadow Saber naturally, looking like a True Dragon ferociously swiping with its claws.

The True Dragon is unrivaled in the sky. No one can block the rage of a True Dragon!

“Bang!”

A dazzling saber light smashed Situ Lei’s nine flame dragons into sparks flying everywhere.

Liu Chen’s nine starlike balls of sword Qi burst. The sword Qi scattered in all directions like a celestial maiden loosing her hair in the wind.

The remnant sword Qi blasted out deep pits in the surroundings, thoroughly defacing the land.

After breaking the killing moves of the two Clan Heads, one after another, Xiao Chen’s momentum did not diminish. He sent out powerful counterattacks.

Regarding Quintessence, Xiao Chen, who had refined his Quintessence twice again, no longer feared the two. Even when relying on his strong physical body, he dared to clash head-on with them, no longer worried about getting injured.

Xiao Chen’s aura flourished in the air as his saber danced. He executed all sorts of Martial Techniques, continuously pushing Situ Lei and Liu Chen back.

After a hundred moves, Situ Lei and Liu Chen could feel their blood surging. Their internal organs trembled as electricity rampaged inside their bodies.

Previously, these two had used their cultivation to suppress Xiao Chen, reducing him to a sorry state within a hundred moves. Now, the tables had turned.

Now that Xiao Chen was their equal in Quintessence, his physical advantage shone. He had endured a hundred moves as well. However, his strong physical body kept most of the external forces outside.

As Xiao Chen’s hair fluttered about, his delicate face appeared extremely relaxed. The show was just starting.

“Spring Thunder Chop!”

“Burning to Desolation!”

“Fated Person in Autumn Waters!”

“Grieving Frost!”

Xiao Chen easily executed the Four Season Saber Technique that was just slightly weaker than a Heaven Ranked Martial Technique like he was eating or drinking. These attacks reduced Situ Lei and Liu Chen to even sorrier states.

“Cycle of Seasons, Endless Growth!”

The Cycle of Seasons that could rival most Heaven Ranked Martial Techniques contained the power of seasons. Boundless force swept out—the thunder of spring, the fire of summer, the wind of autumn, and the frost of winter.

All the mysterious phenomena of the Cycle of Seasons perfectly merged into Xiao Chen’s Saber Technique. When he attacked, it caused the two people, whose Qi and blood were already unstable, to vomit blood and recoil.

The two landed heavily on the ground. The massive impact made the land tremble and kicked up clouds of dust into the air.

Two pairs of eyes looked at Xiao Chen, filling with horror. If the two old men were just stunned earlier, they were utterly and truly horrified now.

The two were half-Sages. Unexpectedly, a Superior Grade Martial Monarch suppressed them to the point where they were vomiting blood and being knocked back, unable to catch their breath.

Since when had such a demonic genius appeared in the Tianwu Domain? How could they actually not have heard about him?

Situ Lei struggled to get to his feet. After he had a firm grasp on his spear, he said in a low voice, “Liu Chen, you old fogey, even if there are conflicts between us, we can no longer afford to hold back.”

“As you say!”

Liu Chen had a similarly grave expression. He said, “If we cannot kill him today, with his talent, we will not have a chance to in the future.”

Xiao Chen’s white robes fluttered as he stood on the Azure Dragon image in the air. As he watched the two half-Sages preparing to use their trump cards, there was no fear on his handsome, delicate face.

Like Xiao Chen had said in the past, there were differences in strength between half-Sages. In the past, Murong Lingfeng had slain Gu Mu as though Gu Mu were merely a dog.

Clearly, the standards of these two people before Xiao Chen were similar to Gu Mu’s—much weaker than the seven giants’.

Once Xiao Chen bridged the gap in Quintessence, he did not have to fear fighting them. Since these two wanted to kill him, why would he spare them and leave behind a potential problem?

This time, Xiao Chen would end all hatred and grudges with them!

“Ocean of Infinite Flames!”

“Nine Heavenly Stars Explosion!”

Situ Lei and Liu Chen shouted at the same time. They no longer held back the killing moves they kept hidden as their trump cards.

Facing the current Xiao Chen, if the two still wanted to hold back, they would just be submitting themselves to death. Victory or defeat all depended on these final moves.

An ocean of infinite flames spread out from Situ Lei. Anywhere one looked, there were only blazing red flames. This mysterious phenomenon appeared very realistic. The surging heat waves were scorching.

It seemed like this ocean of flames burned even the air.

A huge fiery wave swelled on the ocean of flames. Situ Lei stood on the ocean, and red flames appeared around him.

Situ Lei submerged himself in flames. Then he tossed out the spear in his hand. It carried a boundless might as it pressed towards Xiao Chen with the puissant surging flame wave.

The flame wave wanted to drown Xiao Chen, and the spear wanted to pierce Xiao Chen. The boundless hatred in Situ Lei focused entirely on this one move.

On the other side, Liu Chen’s Nine Heavenly Stars Explosion was in no way inferior to Situ Lei’s move in might.

Nine dazzling blue balls of sword Qi appeared in the sky, looking like suns. They formed a ring and started spinning quickly.

Liu Chen stood in the middle of the ring and held up his sword. His left hand pressed on the sword blade as he continuously circulated his Quintessence.

The nine blue balls of sword Qi flew increasingly faster. Eventually, they no longer seem like nine balls of sword Qi but a ring-shaped sword storm.

In the ring-shaped sword storm, the buzz of countless swords could be heard. They knocked against each other, clanging endlessly.

“Die!”

The two seemed to complete their killing moves at the same time. They carried an overwhelming might as the half-Sages launched them at Xiao Chen.

Suddenly, one could only see the fiery-red light and the enormous ring-shaped sword storm swallowing up Xiao Chen’s body.
