Chapter 274 The Power of Two Flames, Defeat, Seclusion (5K)

Since the Pure World Glazed Fire can devour the Nine Revolutions Separation Fire, then the reverse should also be true.

With a try-it-out mentality, Su Chen transformed most of the Primordial Chaos Power within his body into Nine Revolutions Fire.

He knew the power of the Pure World Glazed Fire; he couldn't overwhelm it with quality, so he decided to win with quantity.

Under the endless invasion of the Nine Revolutions Blazing Fire, the Pure World Glazed Fire could no longer withstand it and was devoured by the Nine Revolutions Blazing Fire.

In the end, it seemed as if it had merged into the Nine Revolutions of Fire, and no trace of its aura could be detected in the void.

The Fire Tree, now devoid of the Purifying Glazed Flame, was filled with murderous intent as it glared at Su Chen. It roared, "Ah! I'm going to kill you!"

The branches, like a floodgate bursting open, stretched out recklessly, occupying half the sky, and rushed towards Su Chen with frenzied abandon.

The air surged and churned as the branches pierced through it, sending out streams of air that swirled and created gusts of wind.

As the strong wind howled, the branches, exuding a chilling aura, stretched for hundreds of meters and crashed down in a massive mass.

In an instant, Su Chen's pupils were completely filled with darkness.

Seeing this, Su Chen's face showed no sign of worry, but instead a mocking smile appeared.

But then he casually waved his hand, and the Nine Revolutions Flame around him immediately rose up as if summoned.

Towering flames filled the sky, and in the soaring firelight, Su Chen was made to appear like a god of fire, sacred and inviolable.

The next moment, flames soared into the air, transforming into a net of fire that crashed against the overwhelming branches with the force of thunder.

The endless flames formed an impenetrable wall of fire, which could not penetrate even an inch no matter how turbulent the branches were.

On the contrary, under the blazing flames, those fierce and arrogant branches became restless, like eels in a pot of boiling oil.

"what!"

Huoshu's screams finally came out without reservation, his fear completely replacing his anger, which was evident in his voice.

He was horrified to discover that, in addition to Su Chen's Nine Revolutions Fire, the wall of fire also contained the Purifying Glazed Fire.

Su Chen used the Nine Revolutions Blazing Fire to absorb the Purifying Glazed Fire, and now he's using it against him.

"Why were you able to control the Purifying Glazed Flame so quickly?" Huo Shu's hoarse voice trembled uncontrollably, filled with resentment.

Su Chen ignored the fire tree and continued to burn it.

The fire spread, burning the branches to ashes, and the ashes fell like a black rainstorm.

"You two, hurry up and come help."

Finally, Huoshu faced reality and stopped trying to hold on. He asked Liehuhuang for help.

At this moment, all he wanted was to kill Su Chen.

"Haha, your opponent is me!"

Before the Fierce Tiger King and the Purple Mantis King could arrive, Xu Qingshan, who had been healing for a long time, suddenly rushed out and blocked the two demons' path.

"You go support Fire Tree, I'll deal with him," Fierce Tiger King said to Purple Mantis King.

Huoshu's current situation is very bad; he is genuinely worried that the other party will be killed by Su Chen.

The Purple Mantis King nodded in response, then turned to the Fire Tree and Su Chen not far away, a glint of light flashing in its eyes.

Seeing the two locked in a fierce battle, the Purple Mantis King sneered and suddenly brought down the scythe in his hand.

The moment it landed, a cold glint appeared out of thin air, and in a flash, it appeared a hundred meters away.

Although Su Chen had expected it, he was still slightly shocked by the Purple Mantis King's attack.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, bringing his fingers together, turning his palm into a knife, and slashing down horizontally.

Annihilation Sword Drawing Technique!
An ordinary blade of light shot out from his hand, piercing through layers of strong winds, carrying a terrifying blade intent, and colliding head-on with the cold light.

At the moment of impact, a deep sound suddenly resounded in mid-air, followed by ripples visible to the naked eye.

The shockwave, though turbulent, had no effect on the two people hundreds of meters apart, but left Huoshu, who was standing nearby, speechless.

Normally, faced with such insignificant aftershocks, he would remain unmoved, standing still and letting the damage continue.

But now, the successive battles and humiliation have made Huoshu's strength no longer what it once was.

Especially since he was currently fighting against Su Chen's Nine Revolutions Blazing Fire, Su Chen could be distracted, but he couldn't.

So when the aftershock hit, the already battered body of the Fire Tree could no longer hold on.

On the thick branches and bark, cracks quietly appeared, and green liquid flowed out from the cracks.

That's the blood of a demon!

"Ok?"

Seeing that Su Chen had blocked his attack, the Purple Mantis King's eyes narrowed.

Before the surprise in his eyes had faded, he noticed that Huoshu was looking at him with resentment.

He hadn't expected that a simple exchange would affect Huoshu.

Faced with the gaze of the Fire Tree, the Purple Mantis King opened its mouth as if to explain, but then gave up.

Let's wait until he's dealt with Su Chen before offering any explanations.

Thinking this, the Purple Mantis King raised its scythe again, and a sharp chill immediately surged around it.

When this chill perfectly merged with the chill emanating from the serrated sickle, the Purple Mantis King seemed to melt into the void.

Even though the other person was standing right in front of him, Su Chen could not sense that there was anyone there.

This change caused Su Chen's pupils to shrink slightly.

He unconsciously gripped the Heaven-Slaying Blade at his waist. Sensing its master's solemnity, the blade emitted a series of humming sounds.

Seeing that things were going badly, Huoshu retreated step by step amidst the flames, trying to get away from the two who were about to fight.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and neither the Purple Mantis King nor Su Chen made a move immediately.

But this atmosphere was quickly broken.

Once the Fire Tree had retreated a sufficient distance, the scythe in the Purple Mantis King's hand suddenly emitted a green light.

As the green light spread across the entire scythe, a sharp sizzling sound suddenly filled the air.

The scythe fell with a thud, and a beam of green light detached from its tip, flashing out with the force of a rolling thunderclap.

It left only a blur in mid-air before the blade of light suddenly appeared a hundred meters away, hurtling towards Su Chen.

The Purple Mantis King sneered. Perhaps in terms of combat strength, he was inferior to the Fierce Tiger King and the Blood-Drinking Fire Tree.

However, in terms of speed, neither of them combined could match him.

He used this move without holding back at all.

Its power might only be enough to defeat a cultivator at the Lesser Completion stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm, but with such terrifying speed, it's enough to pierce through the body of a cultivator at the Lesser Completion stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

Dealing with a martial artist at the Divine Intent Realm is a piece of cake!
Thinking of this, his smile widened, as if he could see the tragic scene of Su Chen bleeding to death on the spot.

At the same time, Su Chen, who had accumulated the power of a divine weapon, also drew his sword and faced the enemy.

With a clang, the Heaven-Slaying Blade, which had been sealed for twenty years, was finally drawn.

The moment it was drawn from its sheath, it didn't radiate the dazzling light one might expect; instead, it was extremely restrained.

This restraint, upon closer inspection, carries a hint of darkness, as if all light is absorbed by the Heaven-Slaying Blade the moment it touches it.

Su Chen could sense the excitement of the Heaven-Slaying Blade.

He was equally excited; the twenty years of silence had not diminished his affection for the Broken Sky Blade.

On the contrary, their bond grew stronger from spending time together day and night, and upon making his move, he realized the blood connection between himself and the Heaven-Slaying Blade.

As the blade fell, the surrounding space and time seemed to tremble in amazement at the Heaven-Severing Blade's attack.

In the next instant, a long, horizontal blade of light shot out across the sky.

Unlike the extremely fast speed of the green blade aura, the speed of the Heaven-Severing Blade's aura is not fast, but its power is extremely strong.

Wherever it passed, the space seemed to collapse, and the surrounding light dimmed.

"So fast!"

It was not only fast, but also very strange.

Not long after Su Chen made his move, the green light blade evaded the Heaven-Severing Blade's attack in an instant and struck out of nowhere without any warning.

At the critical moment, he faced Su Chen.

Su Chen's eyes changed slightly, and the green blade light of spacetime around him froze for a moment as it attacked.

His body was also locked in place by a surge of energy.

This energy not only affected his vital energy, but also his blood and spirit.

"pity……"

With his vital energy blocked, his blood and qi stagnant, and his body immobilized, anyone else in such a dangerous situation would surely meet a grim fate.

But the Purple Mantis King encountered Su Chen.

Just as the green blade of light was about to strike, a powerful surge of true intent suddenly rose up in front of Su Chen.

The true meaning of martial arts is no longer illusory; instead, it has become fierce and menacing.

It transformed into an invisible net, enveloping the green blade's edge.

Sizzle. To Su Chen's astonishment, his martial intent shattered in less than half a second under the green blade's light.

The green blade light, which had pierced through the true meaning of martial arts, thrust towards Su Chen with unstoppable momentum.

Boundless power!

Su Chen's heart stirred slightly, and he dared not be careless, so he directly unleashed the power of boundless Yuan energy.

In an instant, a terrifying aura emanated from Su Chen's body, forming a barrier that blocked the green blade light.

The green blade of light can break through a single elemental force, but it cannot break through thousands or tens of thousands of them.

Moreover, knowing the power of the green blade light, Su Chen made no reservations this time, unleashing all 500,000 kinds of Yuan Power.

The barrier formed by a full 500,000 kinds of elemental power, which was said to be able to break through the green blade light of martial arts dharma image, was only destroyed by about half before it collapsed in a dreamlike way that even the Purple Mantis King did not expect.

He was dumbfounded. He had imagined countless outcomes and witnessed countless martial artists fall to this blade, but he never expected that his full-force attack would be defeated in this way.

"not good!"

But he quickly came to his senses; now was not the time to dwell on this, for the Heaven-Severing Blade's attack had already quietly begun.

Faced with this ordinary strike, the Purple Mantis King's face showed a mocking expression, and he slashed out with lightning speed.

Although this strike was not as powerful as the previous one, it was still extraordinary, containing seventy percent of his strength.

Less than a breath later, the two blades collided with a deafening sound, the deep echo like a tidal wave crashing outwards.

But the sound didn't last long. In almost a millisecond, the Purple Mantis King was horrified to discover that its attack was quickly annihilated by Su Chen's blade.

"what?"

His expression changed drastically, and his voice was filled with disbelief.

Faced with the menacing blade of light approaching, in a moment of panic, the Purple Mantis King circulated its demonic power and held its scythe horizontally in front of its chest, attempting to block the attack.

boom!
But man proposes, God disposes; Su Chen's strike was far more powerful than he had anticipated.

Even when he clashed with the green blade's light, his momentum remained undiminished.

On the contrary, like a ferocious beast that has absorbed his blood, it stimulated the savagery deep within him, making him even more ferocious.

The moment the blade struck the Purple Mantis King's chest, the sword intent contained within erupted like a volcano that had been dormant for millennia.

An unparalleled power raged within the Purple Mantis King's body, destroying his bodily functions.

puff!
The terrifying force was too much for the Purple Mantis King to bear, and it coughed up a mouthful of blood.

His body was also on the verge of collapse as he flew backward, his feet lightly tapping the air dozens of times before falling in a parabola onto the ravine.

The impact blasted a crater several meters deep into the mountainside, sending up clouds of dust.

"Damn it!" Huo Shu's expression changed drastically when he saw that even the Purple Mantis King couldn't withstand a single move from Su Chen.

This guy made a big promise when he started, but it turned out to be all show and no substance, all bark and no bite.

He's not even as good as her!
"Not dead yet?"

With the restraints lifted, Su Chen's expression eased slightly, but when he witnessed the Purple Mantis King being shot backward, his expression didn't lighten much.

This move failed to kill the Purple Mantis King.

"If one move doesn't work, then try another."

Kill him while he's sick.

Without hesitation, Su Chen attacked again, unleashing several powerful strikes in succession, each one carrying immense force.

Boom boom boom!
The entire mountainside rumbled as Su Chen's blade struck, sending up clouds of dust dozens of feet high.

"Purple Mantis King!" The Fierce Tiger King was still fighting Xu Qingshan when it heard the commotion not far away, and its tiger eyes widened.

Su Chen remained suspended in mid-air unharmed, while the Purple Mantis King vanished without a trace.

Looking at the huge cloud of dust rising from the ground, Fierce Tiger Emperor suddenly had a bad feeling.

Just as he was stunned, Xu Qingshan suddenly attacked. He seized the opportunity, raised the image of Qingshan, and brought it down.

In a flash, the Fierce Tiger Emperor dodged the fatal attack.

However, Xu Qingshan did not stop and attacked again, giving Liehu Huang no chance to resist.

On the other side, Bai Luoxue, who was also engaged in fierce fighting, was in a much less optimistic situation.

Being outnumbered two to one put her in a precarious situation, and even with healing pills, her body was covered in wounds.

"The Purple Mantis King is dead?" Flame Soul Flower was startled when she sensed the Purple Mantis King's aura dissipate.

what happened?
Don't tell me that the Purple Mantis King died at the hands of a martial artist at the Divine Intent Realm!

"Quickly, kill this man with me!"

Just then, the Fire Tree, which had been targeted by Su Chen, fled in panic and arrived near the Flame Soul Flower and the Azure Sun Vine, shouting at the two of them.

Behind it was a fiery python that stretched for hundreds of meters.

The fire python revealed its ferocious nature, relentlessly pursuing the fire tree, as if it would not give up until it burned it to ashes.

Seeing this, Qingyang Teng and Yanhunhua exchanged a glance, and Qingyang Teng said, "You go and help Huoshu, I'll deal with this woman."

Bai Luoxue was isolated and helpless, and she couldn't hold out for long. He could take her down quickly by himself.

Flame Soul Flower was aware of this situation, nodded, and was about to go and support Fire Tree.

Unexpectedly, a sudden change occurred.

The fire python that was originally chasing the fire tree suddenly split into three, transforming into three fire pythons of the same size, which surged towards them.

"Be careful! This flame is extremely powerful and specifically targets us. We must not be careless!"

Fire Tree loudly warned the two demons, fearing they might rush towards the fire and fall into a trap.

"withdraw!"

Suddenly, a voice disrupted the rhythm of the three demons of the Flame Soul Flower.

It turned out that it was the Fierce Tiger King who issued the evacuation order. After the Purple Mantis King died, the Fierce Tiger King was attacked from both sides.

Su Chen multitasked, using the Purifying Glazed Fire and the Nine Revolutions Separating Fire to deal with the three demons of the Fire Tree.

Meanwhile, he fought alongside Xu Qingshan, attacking from both sides.

Fierce Tiger King, unable to defeat four hands with his bare fists, realized that continuing after a hundred rounds was not an option.

Having eliminated most of the alchemists, he decided to retreat and was unwilling to continue the conflict.

Upon hearing this, the three demons exchanged a glance, then transformed into three afterimages and left with the Fierce Tiger Emperor.

Before leaving, the Flame Soul Flower spat out a cloud of black mist at Bai Luoxue. Upon seeing this, Bai Luoxue quickly dodged away.

"Junior sister, are you alright?" Xu Qingshan swayed and came to Bai Luoxue's side, helping her up.

Bai Luoxue shook her head: "I'm fine."

After saying that, she turned her gaze to Su Chen, her beautiful eyes revealing a hint of surprise.

Although she had been fighting the demons, she knew that the reason the demons were able to retreat was entirely due to Su Chen.

The opponent had not even condensed a Dharma form, yet it repelled two Emperor-level demons and even killed one of them.

In the end, it even forced the four emperor-level demons to retreat in a sorry state.

Is this level of strength truly something a martial artist at the Divine Intent Realm can possess?
Bai Luoxue took a deep breath and came to Su Chen with Xu Qingshan. She said softly, "Thank you for saving me this time."

Su Chen waved his hand; he hadn't intended to save anyone.

There was no other way; I was being watched too, so I had to take action.

Fortunately, I am very strong and my teammates are also very supportive, otherwise, I would have been doomed today.

Su Chen withdrew the Nine Revolutions Flame and looked at the two of them, asking, "Who are you?"

“We are from the Holy Dragon Guard,” Xu Qingshan replied, his voice carrying a hint of respect.

No wonder!
Su Chen muttered to himself, no wonder the two of them, whose cultivation levels were inferior to the demons, were still able to fight and kill them.

The Holy Dragon Guards are all outstanding individuals, possessing the strength to fight opponents of higher ranks.

"Do you know why the Demon Alliance attacked the alchemist this time?" Su Chen asked again.

Xu Qingshan and Bai Luoxue exchanged a glance and, without hiding anything, told Su Chen their previous guesses.

Su Chen was slightly moved when he learned that pill fire had appeared in all nine pill cities.

However, what intrigued him even more was the Ten Directions Martial Stele that Xu Qingshan mentioned. He asked curiously, "What does this have to do with the Ten Directions Martial Stele?"

"The Demon Alliance wants to use a feint to distract the royal family with the Pill Fire, so they can take the opportunity to destroy the Ten Directions Martial Stele and sever the human race's martial arts lineage. In addition, the opening of the Longevity Secret Realm is just around the corner, making it even easier for the Demon Alliance and the Spirit Alliance to take action," Xu Qingshan explained succinctly.

Su Chen nodded; he didn't know much about the Ten Directions Martial Stele.

However, it is also known that the Ten Directions Martial Stele contains many martial arts truths, and with these martial arts truths, the human martial arts can be completely passed down.

Its importance is self-evident, and naturally, the Demon Alliance and the Spirit Alliance are not allowed to undermine it.

Without pressing further, Su Chen asked a few more simple questions before bidding farewell to the two.

"Sir, may I ask your name?" Xu Qingshan quickly asked.

"Xiang Shaolong!"
