Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

An insuppressible killing intent flared in Wang Zhan’s eyes. He said coldly, “Bitch, if not for you, my son would not have died!”

Wang Zhan’s figure flashed, and the clouds and winds stirred up. He charged over to Mo Chen and sent out a palm strike. With his aura encasing her, she could not even move at all. It looked like he would smash her to death.

“Bang!”

An azure figure descended from the sky and glided over, shielding Mo Chen. Then, this figure threw a punch, helping her block this palm strike.

“The sons of quasi-Emperors worked together to bully a girl. That was what your son deserved; their deaths were a result of their own actions!”

Wang Zhan failed to smash Mo Chen to death with one palm strike. He could not help but be angered. “No one in the Cloud Sea Domain can stop me from killing whom I want!”

“Dang! Dang! Dang!”

Xiao Chen pulled Mo Chen behind himself. Not saying anything more, he held his ground like an ancient tree. As he swung his fists, he blocked all of Wang Zhan’s attacks.

In the time it took for a spark to fly, the two exchanged hundreds of moves. Wang Zhan was surprised to find that Xiao Chen was just slightly weaker than him, a Small Perfection quasi-Emperor.

Xiao Chen’s physical body was even stronger than Wang Zhan’s. When they clashed, he did not lose out. His strong physical body completely compensated for the small difference in their strengths.

The seawater rose up in horrifying waves, surging in all directions. Space shuddered without end. However, the area behind Xiao Chen remained calm and peaceful. No matter how big the shock waves were in the other directions, the area where Mo Chen stood was tranquil.

“Blood Killing Art, Heaven Breaking Fist!”

After another hundred moves, Wang Zhan lost all his patience and now executed his Profound Martial Technique.

Instantly, the sky behind him turned scarlet. The aura of massacre spread in the air. A thick blood mist on the verge of liquefying formed an extremely horrifying scene.

“This is the Heaven Breaking Fist. Now, Xiao Chen can probably only defend.”

“This is the Martial Technique that Wang Zhan is famous for. Back then, he used this Fist Technique to defeat the old City Lord of Shattered Cloud City in one punch, becoming the new City Lord.”

“However, Xiao Chen is very horrifying. He is still shy of being a quasi-Emperor. Nevertheless, he can protect not only himself from the Small Perfection quasi-Emperor Wang Zhan but also someone else for such a long time.”

When Wang Zhan executed this Fist Technique, the horrifying mysterious phenomenon immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

When Wang Zhan punched, the blood mist that filled the air infused into the fist. Before his fist arrived, it pushed space back, slowly increasing the distance between Xiao Chen and him.

This startled Xiao Chen. When a quasi-Emperor executed a Profound Martial Technique, its might was indeed too horrifying.

At this moment, Xiao Chen could no longer hold back. With a flip of his hand, he grasped the Lunar Shadow Saber. A bright moon, peach blossoms, the summer sun, falling leaves, white snow, lightning, azure dragons, and all sorts of other mysterious phenomena flew out from his body the moment he held the hilt.

The bright moon could be perfect and flawless, the peach blossoms filled everywhere within fifty kilometers, the blazing sun of summer scorched the land in a five-hundred-kilometer radius, the merciless autumn wind swept through the world, the winter snow sealed everything for five thousand kilometers around in ice, the Azure Dragons soared into the sky, and many other mysterious phenomena looked very glorious.

Each kind of glory is sufficient for a lifetime. I have thousands of kinds of glory merged into my saber. That instant is eternal.

A saber light flashed as Xiao Chen chopped, executing Instant of Glory.

Both were Profound Martial Techniques. However, Xiao Chen’s Profound Martial Technique was the strongest killing move that he comprehended himself. Wang Zhan’s Profound Martial Technique was just a copy of a predecessor’s move.

Even though Wang Zhan’s cultivation was higher, it naturally went without saying which was stronger. When clashing head-on, Wang Zhan’s famed Martial Technique lasted for a moment before crumbling. As for Xiao Chen’s glory, it was eternal.

A horrifying wound appeared on Wang Zhan’s chest. Several of his ribs broke. This saber strike knocked him back in a sorry state.

The other City Lords’ shock showed on their faces as they quickly flew over and caught him.

“Bang!”

Xiao Chen sheathed his saber. The area behind him remained calm like before.

Ao Jiao, there are seven more quasi-Emperors. If I use the Sea Monarch Crown, what are my odds of victory?

The Sea Monarch Crown’s comprehensions are not your own after all. With seven quasi-Emperors attacking at the same time, they will be able to break the domain. It would not be very useful.

That is to say, I do not have any chance of victory?

More or less. However, no one can stop you from leaving.

Understood.

Xiao Chen held a quick conversation with Ao Jiao in his mind. As he looked at the various City Lords, he felt it was a pity. Initially, he had planned on dealing with them one at a time after he recovered his strength. He had not expected them to team up and come at him at the same time.

That’s fine as well. Since they are all here, I’ll kill them all.

“If we do not get rid of this fellow today, he will definitely kill us in the future.”

The eight quasi-Emperors snorted coldly and attacked together. This time, they did not simply send out one killing move each. Instead, they surrounded Xiao Chen and attacked simultaneously, planning to wear him down.

The cultivators in the distance all revealed expressions of pity. They felt that it was unfortunate for a powerful, outstanding talent like Xiao Chen, a hero of his generation, blessed with astonishing talent. However, a few of the older generations ignored their status and worked together to kill him.

Even if Xiao Chen still had more skills, he would probably be finished here today. Such an ending was entirely unexpected.

Mo Chen, who was behind him, was so anxious, she started crying and pushing him away. “Go, don’t care about me. I know that you are capable of leaving!”

“You think you can leave? No one can save the two of you today. There is no path to life for you anywhere,” the eight quasi-Emperors roared together and shook the sky.

Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, “Is that so?”

I have a saber, higher than Emperors. It can tear through the sky and chop down the moon!

An azure medallion appeared at Xiao Chen’s fingertips. This medallion contained a strand of saber light that the Azure Emperor left behind ten thousand years ago.

With a thought, Xiao Chen gave the saber light in the Azure Dragon Medallion an order and unleashed it.

The entire place instantly turned black and white as a strand of saber light flew out of the Azure Dragon Medallion, transcending time and space.

The Azure Emperor had swept through everywhere unhindered ten thousand years ago. Now, his saber light appeared in the world once again.

With this saber light, the eight quasi-Emperors together with space got sliced in half. This saber split the sky.

“Sha! Sha!”

A long time later, color returned to the world. The bodies of the eight quasi-Emperors scattered with the wind, disappearing into thin air.

Dead. Eight quasi-Emperors died, scattered like smoke, no longer existing at all.

There was no evidence left in the air to prove that the eight quasi-Emperors had existed, not even dust.

If the crowd had not seen them personally, no one would believe that eight quasi-Emperors had been here.

What kind of saber light was that? It robbed the world of color, leaving only black and white, transcending time and space. A saber of ten thousand years.

The Azure Dragon Medallion at Xiao Chen’s fingertips returned to its previous state. Without the saber light, he could not use it to block the aura of a Martial Emperor anymore.

However, that did not matter. Xiao Chen did not consider it unfortunate or feel any regret. Whether it was really worth it or not, he felt that it was worth it—and that was enough.

Given Xiao Chen’s strength, he could have left if he wanted to. No one could have stopped him. He did not have to use the Azure Dragon Medallion.

However, for the sake of clearing the way for Mo Chen, to avoid leaving her in a terrible mess as well as to keep his conscience clear, it was worth it.

There was no need to be calculative about losses and gains. In life, there were some matters that could not be measured purely by loss and gain.

“I’m going. Let’s meet again if we are fated. In the future, if you have any troubles, Miss Mo Chen, you can go to Heavenly Star Island and look for my friends there. I hope we meet again.”

Parting was the most difficult. However, what should be said should still be said. There was no such thing as a banquet that lasted forever. Xiao Chen was also not a wishy-washy person.

Mo Chen squeezed out a smile and said, “We will meet again. You already said you were leaving, so go on and leave. Stop dragging things out.”

“Okay!”

Xiao Chen pushed off the ground and soared into the air and turned away, about to fly into the distance before everyone’s eyes.

“Wait a moment! This is for you!”

Xiao Chen turned back in the air and saw Mo Chen calling out to him. Then, he opened his hand, and the Multiflora Rose Pendant quickly flew towards him.

Withered multiflora roses were like blood, spreading grief. Phantom white withered flowers turned scarlet, layering over each other, looking vibrant and beautiful but laden with grief.

The two had met because of this item and parted with this item. This parting seemed to match the state of grief.

Xiao Chen looked at the Multiflora Rose Pendant distractedly. In his rush to leave, he actually forgot about this very important item. Had he chosen to flee out of fear of disappointment and loneliness?

When the Multiflora Rose Pendant arrived before him, Xiao Chen grabbed hold of it firmly. Then, he looked back, and his gaze locked with Mo Chen’s.

“Don’t forget our promise. When I advance to quasi-Emperor, I will come and find you.”

Xiao Chen smiled, a true smile this time. This time, it was not a white lie. “I will wait for you and watch you knock on the Emperor’s Door and witness with my own eyes as you remove your veil.”

Mo Chen heaved a sigh of relief. Whether he was the Azure Dragon King or Wen Ziran, it did not matter. He was still the person who extended his cold hands to her when everyone in the world abandoned her.

As such, everything else did not matter.

Xiao Chen’s figure slowly disappeared from her vision. The thousands of cultivators in the Cloud Sea Domain all felt that what they were seeing was not his figure disappearing but a scene from the saga of a living legend.

In the one hundred thousand years of the Martial Epoch, there were many who could be called geniuses. Not to mention the ancient Sages, the Azure Emperor was a glorious poetic saga.

However, there was only one publicly acknowledged living legend: the Thunder Sovereign who was from the same period as the Azure Emperor. Now, there would be one more: the Azure Dragon King Xiao Chen. Perhaps he was worthy of being called a legend.

---

Xiao Chen flew quickly. On his way, he passed an island. He slowly drifted down and alighted firmly on the ground.

His azure clothes slowly changed color, turning white once again.

Due to the Azure Dragon King’s insignia, the Clear Wind Robes had transformed from a weak Secret Treasure to a peak King Grade Secret Treasure.

However, the azure energy in the insignia could not be used indefinitely. Earlier, when he fought with Shattered Cloud City’s City Lord, Wang Zhan, the Clear Wind Robes helped him to cope with a lot of the pressure, blocking the opponent’s strong force. Now, the energy was quite depleted, and the insignia reverted to the state where it replenished its energy.

Xiao Chen checked the Clear Wind Robes before ignoring them. The color of his clothes would not affect him.

He stopped here so he could wait for a person, an old friend from the Sky Dome Realm.

Using this free time, Xiao Chen toyed with the biggest gain of the trip—the Emperor Yi Shooting Sun Bow—with a smile on his face.

The construction of the bow was extremely exquisite. It was a bright fiery red. The two ends of the bow were like wings. He gently drew the drawstring back, and the wings moved gently as if the entire bow had come to life.

Xiao Chen sighed with some regret. The Item Spirit was no longer around. Even if this bow came back to life, it still lacked the most crucial spirituality.
