The sudden appearance of over a thousand black Flame Demons gave Huangpu Qi a fright.
No matter how strong he was, he did not dare to lose his temper when facing so many black Flame Demons.
Most importantly, he could not make out the depths of these Flame Demons, so he did not dare to gamble.
It was not just Huangpu Qi. Senior Liu, Leng Feng, and the others were startled as well.
They simply could not figure out why the black Flame Demons, which had clearly been killed, suddenly appeared.
Furthermore, they were controlled by Xiao Chen.
"Puppet Techniques?"
There were many knowledgeable people here who muttered to themselves.
There were three thousand great Daos and eight hundred heretical Daos.
Puppet Techniques were heretical Daos. They were extremely rare and hard to cultivate.
However, once one succeeded in cultivating them, one would undoubtedly be a peak expert. It would not be an exaggeration to say that one could fight against ten or one hundred alone.
However, the problem was that no matter how one looked at it, Xiao Chen did not look like someone who cultivated Puppet Techniques.
There were very few sects in the world that understood Puppet Techniques. All of them were hidden sects.
Since it was a heretical Daos, after one cultivated them, one would naturally reveal an aura different from that of a regular cultivator.
It was very obvious.
For example, that bamboo-hat bladesman gave off an evil aura. With one look, it was clear that he was not a Righteous Dao cultivator.
However, Xiao Chen was upright and upright. He had a withdrawn aura, a sharp light, and clear eyes.
No one could tell that he was someone who cultivated unorthodox Daos at all.
However, no matter what, Xiao Chen's move had indeed shocked them.
This was especially so for Huangpu Qi. He, who was originally very confident, now paled. His right hand, which held his sword, trembled slightly.
The Flame Demons' killing intent locked onto him. Others could not feel the pressure that he faced.
"Xiao Chen, we can talk things over. There is no need for us to shed all pretense of cordiality and fight to the death."
Huangpu Qi finally showed weakness as he looked at Xiao Chen and said to the one-thousand-odd Flame Demons pressing in.
"Did you not hear what I said?"
Xiao Chen asked coldly, not bothering to look at him.
When the Flame Demons materialized from the Life Bestowal Spell reached a certain number, their might would inevitably weaken.
The consumption of magic power in the sea of consciousness was also very large.
However, no matter how weak Xiao Chen was, he was still a Major Primal Core Venerate. No matter how drained he was, he could last for an hour.
Xiao Chen used the black Flame Demon to materialize the Yinyang Saber Formation.
It was more than enough to kill Huangpu Qi.
Moreover, besides the Black Flame Demon, there was also Xiao Chen himself.
Huangpu Qi had no chance of winning at all. If he did not beg for mercy, only death awaited him!
The expression in Huangpu Qi's eyes flickered as he felt aggrieved. A ball of fire burned in his heart, but he did not dare to vent it.
Xiao Chen's meaning was obvious. He wanted him to get lost!
When had a true inheritor of the Snow Sword Palace suffered such humiliation?
"Xiao Chen, I, Huangpu Qi, will settle this debt with you sooner or later. Let's go."
Huangpu Qi's face alternated between red and white as he led the remaining ten-odd Snow Sword Palace disciples away.
Xiao Chen's gaze swept across Senior Liu, Leng Feng, Xiahou Feng, and the others. His meaning was clear.
The people of the Snow Sword Palace are already gone. There is no need for you people to remain here.
This was a silent threat, but no one dared to disobey.
Senior Ma was severely injured and weak, no longer able to fight. Senior Liu's team was not strong in the first place. In the first few rounds of fighting, they had suffered heavy casualties. If Senior Liu's team wanted to fight this black Flame Demon again, they would not be confident.
They were not confident.
"Xiao Chen, I hope that you never return to Dragon Flame City in this lifetime."
Leng Feng said indifferently as he looked at Xiao Chen. The threat in his words went without saying.
Xiao Chen retorted calmly, "There is no need for you to worry about that."
Soon, Leng Feng led the people of Senior Ma's team away. Senior Liu's team quickly followed.
Soon, the vicinity of the Dragon Race plaza became deserted, leaving only Xiao Chen and …
The bamboo-hat bladesman had not left.
"You are not leaving?" Xiao Chen asked indifferently as he looked at the bamboo-hat bladesman.
The bamboo-hat bladesman replied softly, "They left because they do not understand what you are thinking and what you are seeking."
Xiao Chen's heart skipped a beat. Then, he looked at the bamboo-hat bladesman and said, "The Profound Light Temple's Zhen Yuan, there is no need to beat around the bush. When you executed that Asura Hell, I knew who you were."
"Good eyes."
The bamboo-hat bladesman smiled faintly and took off his bamboo hat, revealing a bald head and a stern face.
If this was not the Profound Light Temple's traitor, who else could it be?!
Although Xiao Chen had already guessed it, when he saw the other party's appearance, he still felt slightly shocked.
Unexpectedly, this Zhen Yuan had hidden himself so deeply.
"Actually, you could have broken through to the Cloud Sea Realm long ago, right?" Xiao Chen asked calmly as he looked at the other party.
Many years ago, Zhen Yuan was already the strongest of the Grave Sea's youths, firmly suppressing Shangguan Lei and Wang Yueming.
As for Wang Yueming and Shangguan Lei, they were already peak Major Primal Core Realm cultivators three years ago.
It was impossible for Zhen Yuan not to have improved.
"You guessed right. If not for the appearance of your Mahāmāyā Abstinence Violation Saber Technique, I would have remained in this cultivation realm for another three years."
Zhen Yuan said indifferently, "The Buddhist sect emphasizes comprehension ability and does not care much about cultivation realm. Comprehending it once every ten years or comprehending it in one day can increase one's cultivation by a hundred years. However, it no longer matters … "
Indeed, it no longer mattered. Since Zhen Yuan was no longer a Buddhist, he naturally could not continue cultivating like this.
"How is it? How do you think my saber skills compare to yours?"
Zhen Yuan asked Xiao Chen with a cocky expression. "I only cultivated my saber skills for three months. I already comprehended the true meaning of Breaking the Mundane, Resolving the Mundane, and Entering Hell. He even comprehended another saber technique, Asura Purgatory. "
"Becoming a Buddha in one year and cultivating the Demonic Dao with a thought. You understand what I mean."
Xiao Chen said indifferently. This Zhen Yuan was indeed a genius at the saber. However, how could the Saber Dao be accomplished quickly?
For the sake of a shortcut, Zhen Yuan had already entered the Demonic Dao. The stronger he was, the deeper the Demonic Dao. Sooner or later, he would end up digging his own grave.
"The first of the Mahāmāyā Abstinence Violation Scripture is the Demonic Dao. However, the Buddhist sect and the Demonic Dao cannot coexist, so I changed it to the Demonic Dao. This is a Demonic Saber in the first place. It is not that my cultivation went astray. You were wrong from the start. "
Zhen Yuan enunciated every word as he looked straight at Xiao Chen.
Zhen Yuan really wanted to see the confused expression on Xiao Chen's face when he heard that. Unfortunately, he was disappointed.
Xiao Chen had a strong mental fortitude. How could he deny what he comprehended just because of a few words? He said indifferently, "Just wait and see. You said that you know what I am thinking and what I seek. Tell me."
Zhen Yuan stepped forward and looked at the Faux God Flame on the Blue Dragon totem. His eyes sank into it like he was bewitched.
"You seek the Faux God Flame. However, this Faux God Flame is already tainted with a demonic nature. I do not need this Faux God Flame. I only need the demonic nature in it. There is no conflict between us at all. "
After pausing for a moment, Zhen Yuan continued, "Now that I have the Saber Technique manual, you no longer have anything that I seek. I will not be enemies with you. We can work together."
Xiao Chen's heart skipped a beat. This suggestion was indeed pretty good. He could feel the pain that the Faux God Flame suffered.
However, he could not find a way to resolve it immediately.
Zhen Yuan had already decided to cultivate the Demonic Dao. The demonic nature tainted by the Faux God Flame held a boundless temptation for him.
More importantly, Xiao Chen sensed that some evil dragon should be sealed in this place.
Originally, the Faux God Flame was the crux of the seal. However, too much time had passed, and the Faux God Flame's divine nature weakened uncontrollably.
The evil dragon infiltrated it and controlled it.
The so-called Dragon Qi was the demonized Faux God Flame purposely leaking it to attract others to discover the dragon city.
Then, they would use their essence blood to activate the blood formation around the totem.
If Xiao Chen did not think of a solution, when the formation was activated, the seal might be completely destroyed.
Letting Zhen Yuan absorb the evil dragon's Demonic Qi might be a way to solve the problem once and for all.
However, all of this was just Xiao Chen's guess. He could not be sure.
Whether to gamble or not depended on Xiao Chen's decision.
"You still can't make up your mind? The Faux God Flame is an opportunity that many people dream of. As long as you agree, you can obtain it, "Zhen Yuan said indifferently when he saw Xiao Chen remain silent.
Zhen Yuan said indifferently when he saw Xiao Chen remain silent. He believed that Xiao Chen would make his choice.
Buzz! "
As Xiao Chen held the black dragon scale, he felt the torture that the Faux God Flame suffered again.
It was an indescribable pain that made one's heart palpitate, but one could do nothing about it.
"Alright, deal."
Xiao Chen's expression remained calm as he tossed the dragon scale to Zhen Yuan.
Zhen Yuan revealed a smile as he stretched out his hand and caught the dragon scale. Then, he revealed a fervent expression as he looked at the black Faux God Flame.
"Boom!"
However, just at this moment, the blood formation suddenly gave off a red light. The towering Blue Dragon Totem, which had not moved since the beginning, started to shake. The entire dragon city also started to tremble intensely.
