Chapter 92: Chu Ying Xiong Poaches, Secret Realm Ends
Secret Realm closing countdown: one day.
Above a grassland.
Hundreds of grey wolves the size of calves surrounded a young man, hundreds of pairs of green eyes staring fixedly at him, drool dripping from their mouths.
“Ten Thousand Swords Return to One!”
The young man suddenly soared into the air, brandishing the fiery Blazing Fire Sword, countless sword energies raining down like pear blossoms in a storm.
Each sword energy contained terrifying Heaven-Supporting Sword Intent, enough to pierce through the flesh of a Body Refinement Ninth Level expert.
These First Tier Demonic Beast grey wolves were like leaves swept away by a gale under the countless sword energies, blood and severed limbs flying, falling in droves.
Even the Second Tier Early Stage Demonic Beast Wolf King was bathed in blood, its mouth opening and closing, before crashing to the ground.
The young man was none other than Zhou Chen, who was searching for treasures and spirit herbs.
The Unparalleled Divine Art, Heaven-Supporting Sword, had five killing moves, of which Zhou Chen had mastered three, and his Heaven-Supporting Sword Intent was at Complete Mastery.
Zhou Chen had given these three moves names according to their characteristics.
They were the single-target killing move, Sword Separates Worlds.
The group killing move, Ten Thousand Swords Return to One.
And the single-target killing move, Sword Opens Heaven’s Gate.
“Only one day left, I won’t be able to find any good stuff!”
Zhou Chen sheathed his sword and stored the Wolf King’s corpse into the Wind and Moon Mirror.
In five days, Zhou Chen had found many spirit herbs and slain hundreds of demonic beasts.
Unfortunately, there weren’t many spirit herbs useful for Spirit Refinement.
Zhou Chen had only found thirteen, and they weren’t particularly precious.
After consuming 30,000 Romance Points to refine the thirteen spirit herbs useful for Spirit Refinement, Zhou Chen’s Heaven-Supporting Sword, Spirit Refinement, was finally over halfway complete.
【 Heaven-Supporting Sword Nine Levels ( 1300000/2500000 )】
Zhou Chen’s soul had grown significantly, his Divine Sense was even more powerful, and his comprehension of the Heaven-Supporting Sword was deeper, which was also an important reason why he had mastered the three Heaven-Supporting Sword moves.
“I wonder how Jian Xiong’s comprehension of the Heaven-Supporting Sword is going?”
Thinking of Jian Xiong, Zhou Chen’s mind immediately conjured images of them entangled in passion.
“Sigh!”
Zhou Chen looked down and then up, shaking his head with a smile: “Alright, seeing as you want it so much, let’s go find Jian Xiong!”
Swoosh!
Zhou Chen rode his Fire Dragon Sword, transforming into a streak of firelight, rushing towards the cave where the Heaven-Supporting Sword was located.
He also missed Senior Sister Li Chang Hen dearly, but her whereabouts were uncertain, and Zhou Chen couldn’t find her.
While Jian Xiong was most likely still comprehending in that cave.
Because the Heaven-Supporting Sword manual on the cave wall was carved by its owner, containing profound Heaven-Supporting Sword True Meaning, making it a cultivation holy ground for those who sought to comprehend it.
The possibility of Jian Xiong leaving was extremely slim.
The closer one gets to home, the more apprehensive one becomes.
Zhou Chen sped along the way, not stopping at all, rushing towards the Heaven-Supporting Sword cave.
……
Heaven-Supporting Sword cave.
Jian Xiong, who was currently comprehending the Heaven-Supporting Sword, sensed someone approaching and instantly drew her sword, charging out.
Boom!
Sword energy collided, divine weapons clashed, a figure in purple robes retreated smoothly.
“Jian Xiong!”
Seeing the other party, the figure in purple robes’ eyes lit up, instantly becoming passionate.
“Die!”
Jian Xiong’s sharp sword energy shot out without any hesitation.
“Hold your hand!”
The purple-robed youth raised his sword to block Jian Xiong’s attack, hurriedly saying:
“I am Chu Ying Xiong, the Ninth Young Master of Prince of Zhennan’s Residence. I was just looking for you. I have something important to discuss with you!”
“What is it?”
Jian Xiong’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, pausing momentarily. She realized this person was very strong, she probably couldn’t kill him.
Moreover, the other party was the Ninth Young Master of Prince of Zhennan’s Residence.
Prince of Zhennan’s Residence was no weaker than Heavenly Sword Sect, and because of their connection to the Imperial Court, they held even greater power than Heavenly Sword Sect.
Jian Xiong was ranked second on the Qingzhou Prodigy Ranking, but this ranking didn’t include those from the Imperial Court faction. Otherwise, Jian Xiong wouldn’t even be ranked second.
“Jian Xiong, I know you obtained the Yin-Yang River of Forgetfulness Flower.”
Chu Ying Xiong cupped his hands in a salute, elegant and refined, saying:
“The Yin-Yang River of Forgetfulness Flower typically requires a man and a woman to consume together. I, like you, also possess the Innate Sword Bone!”
“If you bring the Yin-Yang River of Forgetfulness Flower and share it with me, I am willing to take you as my wife. By then, we will both possess the Saint Physique, our swords combining, who could withstand us?”
“At that time, you can help me become the Prince of Zhennan, control the Prince of Zhennan’s Residence, and I will help you take over Heavenly Sword Sect. With our two forces combined, who in Qingzhou could oppose us?”
Chu Ying Xiong, with his silver tongue, painted a grand picture and placed it before Jian Xiong. He believed Jian Xiong wouldn’t refuse.
Such benefits, how many people in the world could reject them?
Although he was painting a picture, it was highly feasible, with a huge possibility of success.
“Not interested!”
Jian Xiong directly refused.
She had already used the Yin-Yang River of Forgetfulness Flower with Zhou Chen, Chu Ying Xiong’s words were useless.
“Not interested?”
Chu Ying Xiong was dumbfounded.
He never expected Jian Xiong to refuse so decisively.
“Jian Xiong, think carefully. If you want to refine the Yin-Yang River of Forgetfulness Flower into a pill, not to mention whether you can gather the auxiliary herbs, just finding an Alchemy Grandmaster alone is a feat you can’t achieve, and the price is also something you can’t afford!”
Chu Ying Xiong suppressed the anger in his heart, speaking earnestly: “If you are unwilling to marry me, I can exchange it with other things, compensate you!”
“As long as you use the Yin-Yang River of Forgetfulness Flower to cultivate with me, let my physique advance, I guarantee your satisfaction……”
“I am not satisfied!”
Zhou Chen used Divine Movement Steps to arrive in front of Jian Xiong, coldly staring at Chu Ying Xiong.
This bastard, he actually wanted to poach his woman.
And guarantee Jian Xiong’s satisfaction?
Do you even have Sword Twenty-Two?
“You are……”
Chu Ying Xiong stared at Zhou Chen with hostility, sizing him up for a few moments before suddenly realizing:
“I remember now, you are Zhou Chen, the newly promoted True Inheritance Disciple of Azure Cloud Sect!”
“Get lost, it’s none of your business to interrupt here!”
Chu Ying Xiong shouted angrily, sentencing Zhou Chen to death in his heart.
Daring to ruin his good thing, he would let Zhou Chen know the consequences of showing off in front of him later!
“It’s none of my business to interrupt?”
The corners of Zhou Chen’s mouth curled up slightly. He suddenly reached out and wrapped his arm around Jian Xiong’s slender and supple waist, pulling her into his embrace.
He watched as Chu Ying Xiong was first stunned, then his gaze turned fiery, and smiled:
“To tell you the truth, the Yin-Yang River of Forgetfulness Flower has already been used by me, you have no chance!”
“What did you say!?”
These four words were squeezed out from between Chu Ying Xiong’s teeth one by one.
He clenched his fists, his nails digging into his flesh, his originally handsome face with a smile becoming twisted and ferocious.
He saw that Jian Xiong didn’t strike Zhou Chen with her sword when she was embraced, and even allowed Zhou Chen to hold her. He knew his hope was shattered.
The Yin-Yang River of Forgetfulness Flower was gone.
Zhou Chen and Jian Xiong had already used it for dual cultivation.
“You adulterous dog and bitch, I want you both dead!”
Chu Ying Xiong, like an enraged lion, drew his sword and struck.
A forty-meter sword energy descended, cleaving a deep crack in the ground.
Zhou Chen, holding Jian Xiong, had already dodged. He suppressed Jian Xiong’s attempt to draw her sword and smiled:
“Let me handle it!”
“You’ve got some skills, but you’re still going to die!”
Chu Ying Xiong was stunned for a moment, he didn’t expect Zhou Chen to be able to dodge his sword strike while holding Jian Xiong.
Didn’t they say Zhou Chen was only at Body Refinement Seventh Level?
Damn it.
Rumors were truly unreliable.
However, he had been cultivating the Unparalleled Divine Art, Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword, created by the Founding Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty since he was young, and had already reached Body Refinement Ninth Level: Complete Mastery.
In addition, he had also mastered five Supreme Grade High-Level Martial Arts.
Based on the number of martial arts, he could only be considered at Body Refinement Fifth Transformation, but one Unparalleled Divine Art was worth more than ten ordinary ones. He was at least equivalent to Body Refinement Fifteenth Transformation.
“Perfect for testing my sword!”
Zhou Chen’s eyes lit up with excitement, he wanted to try the power of the Heaven-Supporting Sword.
Slaying those demonic beasts before was completely meaningless.
As for whether he would expose himself, he never intended to let Chu Ying Xiong leave alive.
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
Zhou Chen and Chu Ying Xiong instantly clashed, their speed incredibly fast, exchanging hundreds of moves in an instant, streaks of terrifying sword energy crisscrossing.
The area within several hundred meters was instantly riddled with holes, countless trees turned into dust.
“How is this possible?”
Jian Xiong stared at Zhou Chen in shock, not because of his strength, but because he had actually mastered the Heaven-Supporting Sword to such an extent in less than ten days.
He was simply not human! “How can you be so strong?”
Chu Ying Xiong couldn’t believe it. Wasn’t this Zhou Chen supposed to be a country bumpkin?
He could actually fight him on par.
He had to know that the five High-Level Martial Arts he had cultivated in addition to his main cultivation were all considered top-tier among High-Level Martial Arts, including Light Body Skill, Fist Techniques, Palm Techniques, Claw Techniques, and Leg Techniques, leaving him with almost no weaknesses.
Even Jian Xiong could only hold him off for a few dozen moves at most, ultimately she wouldn’t be his opponent.
“It can only mean that you are too weak!”
Zhou Chen sneered.
He primarily cultivated Yi’s Archery and had also mastered three other martial arts, considered to be at the Third Transformation realm. His Heaven-Supporting Sword had reached Body Refinement Ninth Level: Spirit Refinement.
Although his Spirit Refinement wasn’t complete, his soul was already powerful, so it wasn’t a weakness. Therefore, he could be considered to have mastered the Heaven-Supporting Sword.
Compared to Chu Ying Xiong, he was only lacking one martial art.
Although some High-Level Martial Arts might not be as good as Chu Ying Xiong’s, they weren’t far off.
Moreover, he also cultivated the Immortal Path and had successfully established his foundation.
After being cleansed by Foundation Establishment magical power, Zhou Chen’s physical body was stronger than Chu Ying Xiong’s.
“I don’t believe it!”
Chu Ying Xiong became even more frantic, the sword intent around his body condensed to its peak.
“Heavenly Dragon First Move!”
Terrifying sword energy tore through the air, cleaving down from above, the Heavenly Dragon Sword Intent resembling a colossal dragon overlooking the mortal world, dominating the Four Seas and Eight Desolations, its terrifying majesty suffocating, as if sinking into a mire.
“Sword Separates Worlds!”
Ignoring Chu Ying Xiong’s sword strike, Zhou Chen backhanded a move, his Heaven-Supporting Sword Intent tearing through the Heavenly Dragon Sword Intent, directly slashing at Chu Ying Xiong.
“No!”
The terrifyingly sharp sword energy approached, Chu Ying Xiong’s eyes widened in horror.
He didn’t expect Zhou Chen to completely ignore his sword move, wanting to exchange one for one, to perish together with him.
Swoosh!
Chu Ying Xiong couldn’t dodge in time and was cleaved in half from his forehead down by a single sword strike, blood and flesh flying.
And above Zhou Chen’s head, a Black Tortoise Shield appeared, immovable as a mountain, indestructible, blocking Chu Ying Xiong’s attack.
Jian Xiong looked at Zhou Chen’s actions, feeling a bit strange.
She didn’t expect Zhou Chen to use such a shameless and dishonorable tactic.
Chu Ying Xiong probably wouldn’t have thought of it even in death.
He thought Zhou Chen wanted to perish together with him.
However, Jian Xiong didn’t dislike this method, she even admired it. She never played fair when killing.
As long as it achieved the goal, as long as it allowed her to survive, it was the best tactic.
“Oh, there’s also a storage ring, this guy is really wealthy!”
Zhou Chen cleaned up the battlefield, looting the treasures, looking at Chu Ying Xiong’s storage ring with great satisfaction.
There must be a lot of treasures inside.
As a young master of Prince of Zhennan’s Residence, even if he was just a concubine’s son, Chu Ying Xiong had good talent, the resources he could obtain were definitely more than those of a True Inheritance Disciple of Azure Cloud Sect.
After collecting all the treasures, Zhou Chen incinerated the corpse.
“You mastered the Heaven-Supporting Sword Physique?”
Jian Xiong walked over, looking at Zhou Chen curiously.
“That’s right!”
Zhou Chen nodded.
“How are you so fast?”
Jian Xiong was curious, she hadn’t even mastered the first level yet.
“Fast?”
Zhou Chen smiled meaningfully.
If it was time, he wouldn’t admit it.
If it was frequency, he deserved the title.
“Want to know? I’ll teach you slowly!”
Zhou Chen picked up the curious Jian Xiong, smelling the faint orchid and chrysanthemum fragrance on her body, his blood boiling like he had been injected with chicken blood.
“Let go!”
Jian Xiong said coldly.
“No!”
Zhou Chen smiled, his hand holding her buttocks squeezing hard.
“You… Mmm…”
Jian Xiong’s red lips parted slightly, her words unspoken, but Zhou Chen lowered his head and kissed her.
Jian Xiong’s body stiffened, then softened under the wonders of Zhou Chen’s Thunderclap Wish-Fulfilling Hand.
“Sigh!”
She sighed in her heart, completely giving up resistance, her eyes gazing at Zhou Chen with complex emotions, letting him do as he pleased.
Her feelings for Zhou Chen were quite complicated.
No matter what, Zhou Chen was her first and only man.
She always had a strange feeling in her heart.
Moreover, although Zhou Chen was lecherous, she felt happy being with him, a happiness she had never experienced before.
But her master would never agree to her being with Zhou Chen.
If her master found out, Zhou Chen would be in danger.
Separation was the best choice.
Besides, she wasn’t ready.
She raised her fair, lotus-root-like arms, tightly embracing Zhou Chen’s neck, treating it as a final farewell.
I must strive with all my life.
To give you a day of joy.
The two were lost in each other, completely immersed.
Time flew by as stars shifted, happiness always seemed to pass quickly.
Zhou Chen looked at Jian Xiong, who was holding him in her embrace, gently kissed the tear stains on the corner of her eyes, and said dotingly:
“Don’t worry, it won’t be long before I can let you be with me openly and honorably!”
The grudge between Heavenly Sword Sect and Azure Cloud Sect was deep.
As the chief disciple of Heavenly Sword Sect, if Zhou Chen wanted to be with Jian Xiong, he must possess extraordinary strength.
He wasn’t strong enough yet.
“I didn’t agree to be with you.”
Jian Xiong’s eyes flickered, her expression blank as she said:
“Before was just an accident. Once we leave the secret realm, we will go our separate ways. Just treat it as a dream, and we’ll wake up after leaving!”
“Don’t come looking for me either.”
“I will use my inner energy to eliminate everything you left behind, from now on, we will be strangers!”
Zhou Chen didn’t speak.
It was useless to say anything now.
He could feel that Jian Xiong had feelings for him.
Even a one-day couple had a hundred days of grace.
They had far more than one day.
Zhou Chen greedily kissed Jian Xiong’s body, but the time for the secret realm to close was approaching, and Zhou Chen could only reluctantly withdraw.
He took out two Dragon Tree Blood Lotus seeds and placed them in Jian Xiong’s hand, saying firmly:
“Don’t refuse, just consider it payment for the Heaven-Supporting Sword!”
Jian Xiong held the seeds, remaining silent.
The two dressed themselves, silence filling the cave.
Silence at this moment was more powerful than words.
Zhou Chen looked at Jian Xiong, feeling bored with nothing to do.
He reached out and embraced Jian Xiong, lowering his head for a kiss, but the secret realm closing time was approaching, and Zhou Chen couldn’t do anything more.
At most, he could just enjoy the touch.
Time flew by as Zhou Chen greedily kissed Jian Xiong’s rosy lips, an invisible force of expulsion surged.
Zhou Chen and Jian Xiong were separated and sent out of the secret realm.
Outside the secret realm.
The various factions had been waiting for a long time, waiting for their disciples and descendants to come out.
On Azure Cloud Sect’s flying boat, Qing Yu Yao stood with her hands behind her back, a green dress fluttering in the wind, like an immortal about to ascend.
Li Chang Feng and Song Hao stood on either side, calm and composed.
Suddenly.
A commotion arose, someone exclaimed:
“They’re out!”
“They’re coming out!”
