"Boom!"
Xiao Chen's figure had just disappeared when Du Hao smashed the floor with his fist. He rushed over, but he only managed to shatter an afterimage. In the end, his punch missed.
Xiao Chen turned around and took out the Lunar Shadow Saber from the Universe Ring. When he saw Du Hao walk out from the dust, he slowly placed his right hand on the saber hilt.
Xiao Chen had to admit that Du Hao's close-combat skills far surpassed Xiao Chen's. Out of all the people Xiao Chen had seen, only Mu Heng, who used his physical body to comprehend the Saber Dao, could compare to Du Hao.
However, Xiao Chen's true strength lay in the Saber and not in close-combat. Xiao Chen only wanted to experience different Martial Techniques by fighting with him.
"Take the Secret Treasures on the ground and leave. After I draw my saber, you will no longer have a chance," Xiao Chen said softly. There was no grudge between the two of them; there was no need for them to fight to the death.
The corner of Du Hao's lips curled up. He smiled coldly, "What big words! I want to see how you will not give me a chance."
"Traceless Autumn Water!"
After Du Hao spoke, he shouted and leaped into the air. He quickly circled around Xiao Chen.
Du Hao was like a stream of autumn water as he moved quickly in the air, creating countless afterimages. When the afterimages merged, they looked like a blurry river with gentle ripples.
So, he has comprehended the state of water. No wonder he is so confident, Xiao Chen thought to himself. However, this state has just been formed. It is far inferior to Duanmuqing, Murong Chong, and the others.
Before his state of thunder infused with Holy Might, how could it stand a chance?
"Boom!"
An earth-shattering clap of thunder suddenly rang out in the refining room. The moment the thunder rang out, the rippling river immediately began to ripple out of Du Hao's control.
"Ka ca!" The instant the thunder roared, Xiao Chen quickly drew the Lunar Shadow Saber. It was like a bolt of lightning flashing by. The purple saber Qi struck Du Hao, whose state was suppressed.
"Bang!"
A horrifying wound was left on Du Hao's chest as he fell heavily to the ground. His face was filled with disbelief. His opponent had actually completely suppressed his state.
As long as it could have been used, it would have definitely been able to turn the situation around, but it had collapsed midway. It was truly hateful.
Xiao Chen took light steps and sheathed the Lunar Shadow Saber. He did not even look at Du Hao as he headed for the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron and the Lunar True Flame in the refining room.
Du Hao, who was on the ground, bandaged the wounds on his body. He looked at Xiao Chen and said coldly, "Even if you defeat me, you will not be able to obtain the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron and the Lunar True Flame. Chu Chaoyun has subdued the golden-armored warrior. He is not someone you can deal with."
"The nine of us were scattered by him. Once he finds this place, you definitely won't stand a chance."
It was easy to understand the mentality of such a person. If they could not obtain something, they would not want others to obtain it. Hence, even if they failed, they would use this self-deceiving reason to console themselves.
Xiao Chen's gaze was fixed on the four clumps of Lunar True Flame. He said indifferently without even turning his head, "That is not something for you to worry about."
When Du Hao saw that Xiao Chen was ignoring him, he snorted coldly. He found several broken Secret Treasures on the ground and left the refining room the way he came.
The wound on Xiao Chen's chest contained the state of thunder. However, the wound could not heal quickly. His fortuitous encounters in the Fire Li Sect Remnant had come to an end here.
Xiao Chen stared at the four clumps of white flames floating above the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron. The flames did not have any light; they were pale white.
Each clump of flames was about the size of a fist. They floated quietly above the mouth of the cauldron. When the wind blew, they swayed gently.
Ao Jiao once told Xiao Chen that there were four kinds of strange flames in the world: Human Flame, Ghost Flame, Dragon Flame, and Dragon Flame.
There were two types of Ghost Flame. One was in the Profound Yin Cave, and the other was in the Nine Layers of Hell.
Xiao Chen suspected that the Lunar True Flame might be the Ghost Flame in the Profound Yin Cave. The possibility of it being the Lunar True Flame was very high.
The four clumps of white flames before Xiao Chen were clearly rootless flames. Hence, they did not contain the Lunar Origin Flame.
However, they still stubbornly persisted for thousands of years. If no one interfered with them, they would continue to exist. The lifeforce of these flames was very strong.
Everyone knew that the Fire Li Sect used the Lunar True Flame and the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron to refine Secret Treasures. After the Ancient Era, only the Fire Li Sect had the ability to refine Secret Treasures. It was very likely because of these two items.
Xiao Chen had always been very interested in refining Secret Treasures. Naturally, he could not let go of the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron and the Lunar True Flame before him. Although they were not the real deal, they were still very valuable.
However, Xiao Chen was placed in a difficult position as to how to preserve the four clumps of Lunar True Flame. The cauldron was easy to deal with; he could just store it in the Universe Ring.
However, he could not store pure energy in the Universe Ring. That would break the balance of the formation lines. A Magic Treasure to store the flames would require a special refinement.
If it were a Yang attribute flame, Xiao Chen could just use the Purple Thunder True Fire to swallow it up. However, the Lunar True Flame was an extreme Yin flame. It was difficult to merge Yin and Yang.
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Chen sent out his Spiritual Sense from his sea of consciousness. He decided to figure out the nature of this white flame first.
His Spiritual Sense turned into a thin film and wrapped around the flame. Xiao Chen carefully examined the internal structure of the flame. "Sou!"
Before Xiao Chen could react, the flame wrapped by his Spiritual Sense passed through the blue strip of cloth on his forehead and entered his sea of consciousness.
Within the vast and boundless sea of consciousness, a strand of white flame floated quietly beside the scarlet throne. It was the dim white flame.
Xiao Chen was startled. Then, he revealed a joyful expression. He said softly, "Could it be that the sea of consciousness has the ability to store flames? Let me see if I can summon it out."
Xiao Chen closed his eyes and sensed the white flame in his sea of consciousness. With a thought, the flame immediately flew out from the mark on his forehead.
With another thought, the flame returned with a 'sou' sound. This time, there was no Spiritual Sense wrapped around it. The blue strip of cloth on his forehead was burned in half by the flame and could not be used.
Naturally, Xiao Chen did not care about such a small matter. He immediately took action and placed the other three clumps of white flame into his sea of consciousness.
After all the flames were stored in his sea of consciousness, Xiao Chen took out another blue strip of cloth and tied it around his forehead.
"Boom!"
Just as Xiao Chen tied the cloth, a loud shout came from behind him. A stout figure quickly leaped over from behind and punched at the unprepared Xiao Chen.
The fist wind vibrated in the air, forming a ferocious shockwave. As it rubbed against the air, it gave off a piercing sonic boom.
The attack was so fast that it did not give Xiao Chen any time to dodge or draw his saber. Xiao Chen's expression turned cold, and all the bones in his body crackled. Then, he turned around and punched.
"Bang!"
The sound of bones breaking resounded. Wen Yanbin, who had launched the sneak attack, fell to the ground and cried out in pain. His entire right hand had turned into a pile of meat paste, swaying weakly on the ground.
Wen Yanbin's right hand was completely crippled; there was no chance of recovery. He revealed a horrified expression on his pained face.
Wen Yanbin had not expected that his full-powered strike, which contained close to twenty thousand kilograms of force and a sneak attack that he had prepared for a long time, would lose to his opponent in one move.
Just as Wen Yanbin was about to get up and flee, two swords were placed on his neck. It was Xiao Chen controlling the silver-armored warrior, preventing him from escaping.
"Don't kill me. My … my arm is crippled. I am already half a cripple," Wen Yanbin begged bitterly.
Xiao Chen said coldly, "Cripple your left hand and you can scram."
When Wen Yanbin heard this, he was stunned. Crippling both hands would make him a cripple. The cultivation that he had painstakingly cultivated for more than ten years would have to bid farewell to the path of cultivation.
When Wen Yanbin saw Xiao Chen's impatient expression, he revealed a decisive expression. He circulated his Essence to his left hand and broke all the meridians in his arm.
When Xiao Chen saw the situation, he ignored Wen Yanbin. He directed the silver-armored warrior to release its sword. From the moment Xiao Chen launched the sneak attack, he should have been prepared for the worst. "Dong! Dong!
Dong! Dong! "
The ten-odd cultivators who had followed Xiao Chen to the passageway all rushed over. They happened to see Wen Yanbin's arms crippled. They all revealed astonished expressions.
"Wen Yanbin, why are his arms crippled? It seems like he crippled his left arm himself. He is one of the few experts in Dongming Province. Who could have forced him to such a state?"
"Look at the wounds on his right arm. It is clear that he was completely suppressed by his opponent's physical strength in a contest of physical strength. Who exactly is this strong?"
When they shifted their gazes to Xiao Chen, who was in the refinery, everyone immediately stopped talking, as the answer was obvious.
They had to quickly move the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron away. Otherwise, when Duanmuqing and the others arrived, it would be difficult to move the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron away.
"There are actually complete Secret Treasures on the ground. Furthermore, there are quite a few of them. We have made a killing this time. Ha ha!"
"The one in the middle seems to be the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron. That is definitely the most valuable. It is a necessity for refining Secret Treasures."
After a while, everyone discovered the situation in the refinery. All of them cried out excitedly. Unexpectedly, they found several complete Secret Treasures among the pile of shattered Secret Treasures. Normally, they would rarely see Secret Treasures. However, they managed to find quite a few of them.
The few of them did not hesitate to rush to the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron. When Xiao Chen saw the situation, his expression changed. He pushed off the ground and leaped into the air, landing firmly on the mouth of the cauldron.
"Ka ca!"
The snow-white Lunar Shadow Saber was drawn with a 'huang dang' sound. Killing Qi was released from his entire body as Xiao Chen looked at the crowd below expressionlessly.
"Ye Chen, what are you trying to do? Quickly come down. You should have already taken away the Lunar True Flame in the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron. Don't be so greedy and think about taking the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron away."
"That's right. Although you are strong, you are definitely not a match for all of us."
When the people below saw Xiao Chen standing on the mouth of the cauldron, they all started to berate him. The people who could participate in this operation were not weak.
Wen Yanbin's tragic ending did not scare them away, no matter how strong Xiao Chen was. The people present believed that even if they had the numbers, Xiao Chen would not be a match for them.
"Stop speaking nonsense with him. Let's attack together and kill this fellow who does not know his limits. Coincidentally, we can split the Secret Treasures and the Lunar True Flame on him."
