One Chu Chaoyun was already very difficult for Xiao Chen to deal with. Now, there was another golden-armored warrior with the combat prowess of a peak Inferior Grade Martial King. It would be very difficult for Xiao Chen to defeat the other party.
However, using the two silver-armored warriors to delay for a while was not a problem. By the time Duanmuqing and the others arrived, the fight for the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron would be full of variables.
This would be disadvantageous to both of them. That was why Chu Chaoyun offered to give Xiao Chen a thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones to get him to leave.
With a thought, the two silver-armored warriors in the Universe Ring shot out. Xiao Chen took out the Lunar Shadow Saber and slowly placed his right hand on the hilt.
Xiao Chen withdrew his aura and his gaze became as sharp as a saber. Occasionally, a purple electric current would appear behind him, giving off a 'zi zi' sound. The state of thunder quickly brewed.
The battle between the two would not be decided in a short time. The fight for the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron was now full of variables.
Chu Chaoyun frowned heavily. His gaze was like lightning as he stared at Xiao Chen. The Holy Weapon behind him trembled continuously. It seemed like it would give off a bright light in the next moment, illuminating the ground.
"Boom!"
In that instant, an intense golden light appeared in the empty space in front of the bronze doors. It illuminated the dark space, dazzling everyone's eyes.
Amidst the golden light, an even more resplendent sword light tore through the obstruction of space and headed for Xiao Chen.
Unexpectedly, Chu Chaoyun comprehended the state of light, Xiao Chen squinted his eyes and thought to himself. At the same time, he reacted quickly.
The instant the golden light lit up, Xiao Chen drew his saber with his right hand.
A flash of purple lightning appeared amidst the dazzling golden light. In an instant, a thunderous roar resounded in the open space.
The thunder roared deafeningly. A large patch of purple electric light appeared behind Xiao Chen, forcing the golden light back. The purple light and the thunder light faced off against each other. The state of thunder and state of light entangled with each other.
Clang!
While the states were locked in a stalemate, the two of them moved at the same time. Their speed was as fast as lightning. Their bodies crossed each other in the air, and their weapons clashed, creating a large amount of sparks.
Clang clang clang!
Their weapons retreated as soon as they came into contact with each other, pausing in the air for a moment. Then, the two of them suddenly turned around and each launched a fierce attack. Their swords and blades clashed like a storm.
Sparks flew and energy flew everywhere. The scattered saber Qi and sword Qi left deep marks on the walls.
As the two of them fought, the golden-armored warrior on the ground charged at Xiao Chen with an imposing aura. With a thought, Xiao Chen directed the two silver-armored warriors to block the golden-armored warrior.
Every time Chu Chaoyun made a move, a dazzling golden light would be emitted, which made Xiao Chen's eyes slightly uncomfortable.
Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed into slits. The saber contained a strong state of thunder. Countless sparks flickered on it, crackling endlessly.
The instant the weapons clashed, the electric sparks flowed along his opponent's sword. Chu Chaoyun felt a slight pain. After a long time, his right hand, which was holding the sword, started to turn numb. "Bang! Bang!
Bang! "
The two of them moved faster and faster. Soon, only blurry shadows could be seen in the air. An intense shockwave surged around the two of them, forming small tornadoes.
Actually, the two of them were not using their full power. There were too many variables at this moment. If they fought to the death, only Duanmuqing and the others would be able to take advantage of the situation.
Chu Chaoyun waited for the instant the golden light dazzled Xiao Chen's eyes. Then, he would make his move, using one move to defeat Xiao Chen. That way, he would be able to save a lot of energy.
Xiao Chen was waiting for his opponent's right hand to turn completely numb and lose its grip on the sword. Then, he would send his opponent's weapon flying. That way, he would be able to escape.
The golden light and the electric light clashed continuously. Dull explosions resounded. The two of them persisted bitterly, not wanting to give way. They just wanted to see who would fall first. "Dong! Dong!
Dong! "
Just at this moment, heavy footsteps came from the main hall. Chu Chaoyun glanced around and saw that Duanmuqing and the others had arrived.
"Xiu!"
Chu Chaoyun withdrew his sword and quickly retreated. The golden light in the empty space immediately vanished and the state of light disappeared.
"You can go. I will leave the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron with you for now. Naturally, I will go and retrieve it one day. Help me take care of it," Chu Chaoyun said casually as he made way for Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen scattered the state of thunder and landed in front of the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron. He used one hand and easily lifted the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron above his head.
When Xiao Chen passed by Chu Chaoyun, he said softly, "There has never been a precedent of losing something that landed in my hands. It was the same with the golden Spirit Core in the past and the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron now."
Chu Chaoyun watched as Xiao Chen left. He shook his head slightly and said in a voice that only he could hear, "After not seeing you for a year, you have become so strong. The growth of the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit probably far exceeds that person's expectations."
"Chu Chaoyun, where's Ye Chen? Wasn't he fighting with you earlier? Why is he gone all of a sudden?" Hua Yunfei asked anxiously as he rushed over.
Chu Chaoyun said indifferently, "Sorry, I let him go."
Seeing that Chu Chaoyun did not care at all, Hua Yunfei became anxious. He immediately drew his scarlet sword and pointed it at Chu Chaoyun.
Chu Chaoyun smiled faintly and the golden-armored warrior took two steps forward unhurriedly.
Seeing the silent golden-armored warrior, Hua Yunfei did not have the courage to draw his sword. He snorted coldly and sheathed his sword.
Ji Changkong looked at the exit of the Fire Li Sect. Suddenly, he said something irrelevant, "Don't you feel that he is very similar to someone else? Although his appearance is different and his aura is much weaker, his eyes and sharpness are very similar."
Right after he said that, Duanmuqing, Hua Yunfei, and the Guiyi Marquis exchanged glances with each other. Their eyes were filled with astonishment.
The Guiyi Marquis said indifferently, "In that case, let's write down this person's surname at the same time and see if our guesses are the same."
The few of them stretched out their hands and started to write the word "Xiao" in the air. After they finished writing, they revealed expressions of shock.
Hua Yunfeng said coldly, "If we all think there is a problem at the same time, then that might be the result. However, it seems like there is no such realistic disguise technique in this world. It is not as simple as changing one's appearance. Instead, one's internal bones and external aura are completely different."
In the past, Xiao Chen had a grave and stern appearance. His face looked like it was carved by a knife. His entire person was like a treasured saber drawn from its scabbard, releasing his aura and showing off his sharpness.
However, the Xiao Chen they saw now had a delicate and ordinary appearance. His sharpness was withdrawn and he did not give off a flamboyant feeling. He was a completely different person.
The Guiyi Marquis continued, "The most important thing is that I do not believe this person's strength could improve so quickly. One year ago, he was only a Superior Grade Martial Master. Now, he is a Medial Grade Martial Saint.
"Unless he cultivates a Heaven Ranked Cultivation Technique. However, within the Great Qin Nation, only the Royal Court has a Heaven Ranked Cultivation Technique. How could a nameless person like him have one?"
Ji Changkong glanced at the silent Chu Chaoyun and said, "Chu Chaoyun, you have fought with him before. What do you think?"
Chu Chaoyun smiled gently and said, "Is it really that important whether it is or not? Two years from now, there will naturally be people looking for you. Don't tell me you are afraid. Ha ha! "
--- Three days later, in an extremely desolate area at the periphery of the Ink Forest, Xiao Chen sat cross-legged on the ground. The Dragon Phoenix Cauldron was not far from him.
Two silver-armored warriors guarded the cauldron, one on the left and one on the right. Bai sat quietly on top of the cauldron. Occasionally, his intelligent eyes would look around, helping Xiao Chen to avoid unknown dangers.
After a long time, Xiao Chen stopped circulating his energy and opened his eyes. Two beams of light flashed in the depths of his eyes as he took a deep breath.
This breath was long and drawn out, like a long sharp arrow. Even after it flew far away, it did not dissipate.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and stood up. He picked up the Lunar Shadow Saber beside him and walked over to the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron. Bai landed on Xiao Chen's shoulder with a 'sou' sound.
The Dragon Phoenix Cauldron was sixteen meters tall. The three pillars were ten meters long and the cauldron itself was six meters long. When Xiao Chen stood below it, he seemed very small.
Xiao Chen leaped up gently and executed the Gravity Spell. He slowly flew to the top of the cauldron and looked down.
The cauldron was squarish and empty. It was only about five meters deep. Xiao Chen could clearly see the bottom with one glance. However, it gave off a feeling of boundlessness; it was like there was a small world inside.
After leaving the Fire Li Sect Remnant, Xiao Chen was not in a rush to leave the Ink Forest. The Duanmu Clan's Profound Ice Palace was still guarding the exit of the forest.
Thinking about how terrifying the Profound Ice Palace was, Xiao Chen was not foolish enough to walk right into their trap. For the next three days, he hid in this Ink Forest. As he killed Demonic Beasts, he recovered his strength.
Xiao Chen handed the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron to the two silver-armored warriors. This did not affect his pace. When he was resting and meditating, Bai would help guard it.
In the Ink Forest where Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense could not extend too far, the normally unimportant Bai was very useful.
After resolving his worries, this Ink Forest, where the Spiritual Energy was thin and the Demonic Beasts were ferocious, was the best place for Xiao Chen to temper himself. Xiao Chen was not in a rush to leave.
Recollecting his thoughts, Xiao Chen looked at the empty cauldron. He flicked his finger and shot out a strand of purple flame. The flame spun around the cauldron and immediately became very thin, turning into tiny sparks.
Xiao Chen flicked his finger and shot out tens of strands of Purple Thunder True Fire in one go. This exhausted a quarter of his Essence. However, the flame was still very thin; it could not fill the space inside.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly and said doubtfully, "This is strange. There is clearly only so much space. Logically speaking, my flame should have risen up long ago."
In the past three days, whenever Xiao Chen had free time, he would study the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron. However, he did not make any progress. He only knew that there were many Moonstones in the cauldron. The entire cauldron was made of Peak Grade Frost Iron; it was even harder than a Heaven Ranked Spirit Weapon.
Furthermore, the space inside seemed to be much larger than it looked. This was the result of Xiao Chen's verification. There should be spatial formation markings carved on it.
With a flip of his palm, Xiao Chen gathered all the flames in the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron. A clump of fierce purple flame immediately soared up in his palm.
