When Qin Yu saw Bai Lixi leave Xiao Chen, he found an opportunity and attacked at lightning speed. A pale white flame burned on his palm, and the surrounding air instantly turned cold.
Xiao Chen's eyes lit up. This person actually has an Extreme Yin Flame as well. If I collect it well, my Lunar True Flame will grow stronger.
Even though Xiao Chen thought this, his hands did not slow down. He sent out a palm strike as well. A purple pure Yang True Flame burned on his palm.
"Bang!"
Yin and Yang countered each other. The instant the two palms clashed, they produced a strong explosive force. A shockwave surged out, tearing apart half of the side hall.
Even Bai Lixi and Leng Yun, who were fighting, received a significant impact. The shockwave knocked them back a few steps. Leng Yun was in an even worse state. His complexion was pale, and blood leaked out of the corner of his mouth.
However, Old Qin did not care about that. He stood firm and charged at Xiao Chen again, intending to deal with Xiao Chen as quickly as possible.
Xiao Chen dealt with Xiao Chen calmly, not panicking at all. After ten-odd moves, he was only knocked back a hundred meters. He did not suffer any substantial damage.
Qin Yu felt depressed. He thought back to a few months ago, when he could crush Xiao Chen as easily as crushing an ant. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen had grown to such a level in such a short time.
After exchanging ten-odd moves with Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen still did not completely crumble.
Xiao Chen glanced at the fight between Bai Lixi and Leng Yun. It was nearing its end. Xiao Chen's expression became even more relaxed. He no longer clashed head-on with Xiao Chen; all he needed to do was delay him and not let him leave.
After a while, a miserable shriek rang out. Leng Yun finally died at Bai Lixi's hands.
This was within expectations. Given Bai Lixi's strength, which was equivalent to a half-step Martial Monarch's, being able to last for so long was already very impressive.
Retreat!
After Leng Yun died, Qin Yu knocked back Xiao Chen with one move. Then, he decisively retreated, wanting to leave this place.
"You want to leave? It's not that easy."
If Xiao Chen let this person leave and notified the Holy Fire Manor's headquarters, two Martial Monarchs would be a great threat to Xiao Chen and Bai Lixi.
Kacha!
Xiao Chen drew the Lunar Shadow Saber at his waist, and a sharp saber intent surged out. A resplendent purple saber Qi immediately blocked Qin Yu's path of retreat.
Dang!
Bai Lixi's attack soon followed. With the two of them working together, they completely blocked off Qin Yu's path of escape.
There was not much suspense in the remaining battles. Qin Yu was weaker than Gao Yangyu, so how could he be a match for Xiao Chen and Gao Yangyu?
After holding on for an hour, Xiao Chen slashed his throat with his saber. Then, Xiao Chen extracted the Origin Flame of the Extreme Yin Flame in his body. Then, he and Bai Lixi quickly left this place.
According to the original plan, the two of them left the Barren City overnight, and only stopped after traveling for a full ten miles.
At the Heavenly Extermination Lake, Xiao Chen said gratefully to Bai Lixi, "Many thanks for your help. If not for you, the operation would not have gone so smoothly."
Without Bai Lixi's help, Xiao Chen would not have been able to eliminate the two hidden dangers so smoothly. Be it Gao Yangyu or Qin Yu, they would not have been easy for him to deal with.
Even if Xiao Chen had used all his trump cards and obtained the final victory, he would have suffered significant internal injuries. It would not have been like this, where he had only exhausted a large amount of Essence without any major problems.
Bai Lixi chuckled and said, "I found it very exciting as well. You have given me all the gains from the two half-step Martial Monarchs. Now, we are even."
"That's right, what do you plan to do next?"
Bai Lixi asked after a pause for a while, looking at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen answered honestly, "I plan to make a trip to the Deep Sea Battlefield to temper myself and refine my killing Qi."
Xiao Chen had obtained the state of massacre from the scarlet throne. In the end, it was not his own. When he used it, he felt that it was still lacking. Hence, he had to go to the Deep Sea Battlefield.
Bai Lixi laughed loudly and said, "What a coincidence! I am going to the Deep Sea Battlefield as well. The East Shallow Sea's third grade Battlefield is about to open. I was planning to go with a friend. If you do not mind, we can go together."
Xiao Chen was slightly stunned. He said, "Such a coincidence?"
Bai Lixi smiled and said, "If not for going to the Deep Sea Battlefield, why do you think I bought so many Secret Treasures?"
Xiao Chen thought for a while before agreeing to the other party's invitation. Coincidentally, there were many things that he did not understand. With Bai Lixi's guidance, he could save himself a lot of trouble. ---
In a port city in the easternmost part of the Great Chu Nation:
Merchant ships entered and left the bustling port. Xiao Chen and Bai Lixi stood at the shore of the port. However, they were not in a rush to board the ship.
Naturally, the East Shallow Sea was in the east of the continent. If they wanted to save time, they could only go to the Great Chu Nation in the east.
After leaving Desolate City, Xiao Chen and Bai Lixi traveled at full speed. After seven days and seven nights, they arrived at the port.
"Speaking of which, Bai Lixi, who exactly is the friend you mentioned? Even now, you are not willing to tell me. Is there a need to be so mysterious?"
After leaving the Ancient Desolate Land, Xiao Chen and Bai Lixi relaxed. No matter how strong the Holy Fire Manor was, they would not be able to reach the Great Chu Nation.
When they chatted, they did not have any misgivings.
Bai Lixi smiled and said, "You will know when you arrive. It will definitely be a pleasant surprise for you."
Xiao Chen had asked Bai Lixi a few times, but the other party gave him the same answer every time. So, he could only give up.
Xiao Chen's curiosity was completely piqued. What kind of person could give him such a pleasant surprise?
"The last time we went to the Rank A Battlefield, there were about ten people. However, only the two of us survived," Bai Lixi said with a drawn-out sigh.
Xiao Chen asked, "What kind of place is the Deep Sea Battlefield? Can you tell me more about it?"
Bai Lixi muttered to himself, "It is time to tell you. There are Demons coming out of the spatial crack in the Boundless Sea at every moment.
"However, Demons are also divided into ranks. Just like humans, they will gather together if their strength is similar. It is just like how Martial Monarchs will not mix with Martial Saints; it is impossible for them to mix together."
"According to the strength of the Demons, the factions of the Boundless Sea divide the regions where the Demons live into six ranks. Once the number of Demons in a certain region reaches a certain number, they will gather all the cultivators in the world to surround and suppress them. "
Xiao Chen thought for a while and understood what Bai Lixi meant. He continued to ask, "Has the sixth rank Battlefield ever opened?"
Bai Lixi smiled and said, "It is best not to. Once the peak rank Battlefield opens, all the Martial Sages in the world will rush over. Furthermore, based on history, once the sixth rank Battlefield opens, the Demonic Calamity will not be far away." "Dong!
Dong! Dong! "
Just at this moment, soft footsteps came from behind the two. Bai Lixi did not turn around. He smiled and said, "The person we are waiting for is here."
Xiao Chen turned his head to look and saw a middle-aged bladesman in azure with long hair draped over his shoulders. He exuded a sharp aura and a set of facial features.
"The Bloody Bladesman, Sun Guangquan!"
When Xiao Chen saw this person's face clearly, he exclaimed softly in astonishment. He had met Sun Guangquan once before. Sun Guangquan was one of the ten great bladesmen of the Ancient Desolate Land. He had comprehended saber intent many years ago.
The rumor about Sun Guangquan's strength was that unless a Martial Monarch appeared, no one could defeat him.
Back on Qianren Island, Xiao Chen had not seen Sun Guangquan make a move. However, he could clearly sense that Sun Guangquan was much stronger than the others. That was the intuition of a bladesman.
Xiao Chen had not expected that the friend Bai Lixi mentioned would be Sun Guangquan. To him, this was a pleasant surprise.
Sun Guangquan had comprehended saber intent many years ago. Xiao Chen had only comprehended saber intent recently. With this person's guidance, he would definitely improve rapidly.
Sun Guangquan sized up Xiao Chen and immediately sensed the buzzing saber intent in Xiao Chen's body. He was slightly stunned and guessed Xiao Chen's identity.
Bai Lixi smiled and said, "Old Sun, you must have heard of Xiao Chen before. This time, he will be coming with us to the Deep Sea Battlefield."
Sun Guangquan nodded and smiled softly. "Who in the world of bladesmen does not know the name of the White Robed Bladesman?"
Xiao Chen smiled embarrassedly and said, "Before Senior Sun, how could I dare to be called a bladesman?"
When Sun Guangquan heard what Xiao Chen said, he waved his hand and smiled. "Don't call me senior; I don't dare. Our strengths are about the same. Let's talk as equals. If you don't mind, you can just call me Old Sun like Old Bai does."
The Bloody Bladesman Sun Guangquan could be considered a true bladesman.
With such a humble attitude, Xiao Chen's impression of Sun Guangquan improved significantly. Xiao Chen no longer felt restrained. He said, "Big Brother Sun is too polite."
Bai Lixi looked at the two of them interacting with each other. He smiled and said, "I say, the two of you, stop being so polite. Quickly board the ship. If not, we will have to wait another day."
The merchant ship set sail and headed for the true depths of the Boundless Sea, embarking on a long journey.
Even with the help of the ocean currents, it would take at least a month to reach the true Eastern Shallow Sea.
Naturally, Xiao Chen could not waste such a long time. Aside from his usual cultivation, he would seek out Sun Guangquan every day to discuss his experiences with the saber.
As a senior, Sun Guangquan did not hide anything from Xiao Chen. He answered all of Xiao Chen's questions in detail.
There were some things that Sun Guangquan did not dare to be certain of. He would discuss them with Xiao Chen before coming to a conclusion.
When they had nothing to do, the two would find an opportunity to compare notes with each other. With such a senior, Xiao Chen had benefited a lot along the way.
Using this opportunity, Xiao Chen started to practice the Four Season Saber Technique that Bai Shuihe passed on to him.
Back then, in the Ancient Desolate Tower, the spot of light that Bai Shuihe shot out was the secret manual for the Four Season Saber Technique.
The Four Season Saber Technique was like the Wukui Saber Technique; they were both peak Earth Ranked Saber Techniques. However, the Four Season Saber Technique focused more on intent and not form. Hence, it was much more difficult to comprehend.
As Xiao Chen fought with Sun Guangquan, he continuously perfected his Four Season Saber Technique. As a fellow bladesman, Sun Guangquan could keenly point out the inadequacies of Xiao Chen's Saber Technique.
After traveling for many days, they were no longer far from the Eastern Shallow Sea.
On this particular day, the three gathered together and started chatting. Then, Xiao Chen thought of a question. He said, "Big Brother Sun, I have some doubts. Why are you known as the Bloody Bladesman and the Ancient Desolate Land's ten great bladesmen? Why have I not heard anyone mention them in Desolate City?"
When Sun Guangquan heard this, he could not help but smile. He said, "The Ancient Desolate Land's ten great bladesmen were known by that name many years ago. Everyone knows their own limits. Now, there are too many geniuses. This is the budding era of geniuses. Everyone is very low-profile, afraid that they might end up as stepping stones. "
Bai Lixi added, "That is true. The experts of the older generation all value their reputation. They are all in closed-door cultivation. No one mentions their previous titles, like the four great bladesmen and four great swordsmen of Desolate City anymore. "
