Chapter 1320 Expelling the Evil from the Current Dynasty

When Drachholm, Elose, Morton, and the others saw Field instantly annihilated by the Void Fire, their hearts skipped a beat.

They saw that flame again, but they never expected it to appear on Chen Chuan's spirit form this time.

Then it suddenly occurred to them that even Field had returned, but Crosal and Igor, who had come earlier, had not.

The only difference is that the two people behind them encountered this kind of fire, while Field didn't. Could it be...?

Thinking of the most likely answer, they felt a chill run down their spines.

Because of their considerable physical strength, Throne Fighters can recover even if only a tiny fragment of their body remains, given enough time. However, if this mysterious flame could completely obliterate their existence, it would pose an unspeakable threat to them.

Chen Chuan knew perfectly well that once the effects of the Xuan Kong Fire were revealed, most of the Dongxuan Sect fighters who were not on his side would probably see him as an enemy, and even wish they could kill him. Even the more friendly Dongxuan Sect would probably be extremely wary of him.

This is probably why Mr. Zhuan told him not to expose himself back then, but now he no longer needs to worry about such things.

By now, Elose and the others had lost all will to fight.

If it weren't for the Xuan Kong Fire, it would be fine; they could always come back. But the appearance of the Xuan Kong Fire directly broke down their psychological defenses, and being tainted by it would truly be completely eliminated.

Knowing that going into battle would mean certain death, it's better to try to retreat.

As for whether they can leave, they have their own reasons. Chen Chuan's goal is to persuade the Celestial Masters of the Heavenly Mystery Sect to return, and in this matter, Ran Ming is clearly the biggest obstacle.

If they choose to retreat directly, or even retreat to outside Weishuzhou in time, what reason would Chen Chuan have to pursue them relentlessly?
However, even retreating requires strategy, and it remains to be seen what Chen Chuan plans to do next.

Drachholm's idea differed from Elose's. He stared at Chen Chuan, took a deep breath, and with a shout, charged forward, launching another attack on Chen Chuan.

His thought at this moment wasn't that he didn't want to leave, but rather that he was the one who had dealt the most severe blow to Chen Chuan earlier, and if it were him, he knew he would never have let his opponent off the hook.

Moreover, given Chen Chuan's current speed, even if he wanted to leave, he probably couldn't, right? Rather than making a scene, he might as well take a gamble.

When Chen Chuan saw him coming, Drachholm's movements seemed very slow in his eyes. He even had time to glance to the left and right, and caught sight of Ilosser and Morton flying towards them.

Drakholm had only charged forward a short while when he felt himself enter an invisible force field, and his speed suddenly slowed down. His initial resolute momentum was also greatly diminished as a result.

But he still gritted his teeth and charged forward, using explosive techniques. The dark gray spiritual light and fire on his body burst outward, and his whole body was like a burning furnace. More power was released from his body, propelling his body forward.

Seeing this, Elother and Morton knew their chance had come, so they immediately leaped into the air and each transformed into a beam of light, shooting off in different directions.

Upon seeing this, the python clone above sneered, said nothing, and simply kept its eyes fixed on Drakholm.

After the outburst, Drakholm successfully broke through the surrounding obstacles and continued to advance at a speed no less than at the beginning, finally crashing into the spiritual fire surrounding the spirit body with a loud bang.

But after going in only a few meters, he felt himself trapped inside. He tried to step forward, but even with the veins around his eyes bulging, he couldn't move even one more step.

At this moment, the spiritual light and fire surrounding him, enveloped by the white-gold light and fire, were being rapidly melted and disintegrated, and it seemed that they would completely dissipate in just a few breaths.

He looked up and peered through the ethereal spiritual image at the figure within, whose gaze seemed to be calmly watching him.

He shouted and leaped backward, at the same time a burst of dark gray spiritual light and fire dispersed, and his whole body turned into dozens of points that shot outward.

At the last moment, he finally gave up completely. He couldn't even break through the spiritual light and fire on the surface of the spirit image, so how could he fight?!

Only then did he realize that he had wanted to leave, so why was he thinking of staying?

In his mind, Ranming's figure flashed by, and in that instant, he seemed to understand something.

However, after flying halfway, those points of light were forcibly pulled back by an invisible force, and all of them slowed down.

Ling Xiang opened his palm towards the direction he had left. The scattered body tissues were all forced back towards his palm, converging into a dark gray ball of light that was forcibly condensed together. At this moment, Ling Xiang grabbed it with his large hand, and with a loud bang, he grasped it in his palm. Spiritual light could be seen emanating from between his fingers. Then he released his grip, letting the scattered flesh and blood fall away.

A beam of mysterious fire descended from behind the spirit, sprinkling onto the flesh and blood. Instantly, these things burst into flames, turning into specks of light that slowly fell to the ground, shattering and scattering, covering the ground in front with sparks.

Chen Chuan ignored what was happening there and instead looked up in the direction Morton had fled.

He raised his palm, and Ling Xiang raised his hand at the same time. A beam of light shot out with a bang. Then he turned his body and swung his arm backward, and the beam of light traced a path along the sky.

The attack came too fast and too suddenly, causing Iloser and Morton, who were on the path, to be caught up in the blink of an eye. Moreover, the range of this spiritual impact was extremely wide. Although they tried their best to dodge, most of their bodies were still blown apart instantly, and the remaining parts of their bodies fell to the ground instantly.

The aftershocks of the light lingered, sweeping across the smoke and dust that drifted in the surrounding area, leaving a long mark on the sky, as if it had sliced ​​the sky in two.

On Morton's side, his body continuously repaired itself during the fall, and the scattered flesh and blood quickly flew back to fill in the gaps, so he was completely restored to his original state before even reaching the ground.

He didn't want to linger any longer. His spiritual light flashed, and he flew forward quickly, skimming the ground, wanting to get away from this place as soon as possible.

But this time, before they had gone very far, they suddenly saw Chen Chuan's figure floating in front of them.

what?
He was greatly alarmed and quickly changed direction to avoid it.

Chen Chuan looked at the light that had turned away, raised his fist, and suddenly his body flashed and disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already above Morton's head.

At that moment, his fist slammed down hard, and Morton was smashed into the ground with a bang. A shockwave rolled outwards from there, and his body, which had just recovered, was once again blown apart. However, these scattered body parts suddenly turned into wisps of black mist.

He was forced to use a forbidden secret technique, which was to merge himself with the being worshipped by the primitive sect, thereby borrowing a more powerful force from the latter.

Under normal circumstances, this secret technique can only last for a few minutes, but it requires a sufficient sacrifice afterward, otherwise it is very likely to cause him to lose his self, while the other being will gain a host body, which is mutually recognized by both parties.

Even if he could offer a sacrifice, the filth wouldn't be cleansed, and he would become addicted to using this secret technique again and again. He knew its true nature, which was why he had never used it before. But at this moment, he couldn't care less. After witnessing Chen Chuan's terrifying performance, he didn't hesitate at all and began to call upon that being in his heart.

Because the rift in the original sect was still there, or perhaps the being on the other side had wanted to do this for a long time, almost the instant he had the thought, that being responded to him and couldn't wait to merge with him.

The black mist writhed and tumbled wildly, almost instantly solidifying into a physical form, from which mutated tissues emerged, completely merging his divine form into it.

A huge monster can be seen lying in the crater created by the impact.

This thing looks like it's pieced together from countless fragments, with limbs growing irregularly all over its body, constantly splitting and gathering, while black mist keeps drifting out from the gaps between the pieces, making it impossible to tell its head or tail.

Chen Chuan, who was in the air, sensed the power surging from the rift, and his gaze became deep and intense.

He reached out and drew the weapon that bound to his destiny, which instantly transformed into a long mace, which he then tossed high into the air.

Above his head, the spirit once again appeared outside his body. A giant hand caught the long mace in mid-air, and his golden armor suddenly trembled. Then, he gripped the mace handle with both hands and raised it high. Golden light shone brightly and the jade belt fluttered. After a moment, he slammed it down with force!
Demon-slaying technique!
The blow landed directly on the monster's head, instantly shattering the part that had been trying to raise its head. The rest of the body also crumbled under the force of the impact.

The scattered wisps of smoke suddenly transformed into faces with different expressions, flying out in all directions.

However, as the spirit fell with the long mace, the Xuan Kong fire on the halo behind him also turned into clusters of flames and fell down. As soon as they touched these things, they quickly burned and emitted various painful screams.

Some of them rushed directly toward the rift, but before they could enter, they scattered into a cloud of ashes in mid-air.

Chen Chuan glanced at the scattering ashes, turned around with his knife, and plunged into the rift once more. Then, beams of light flashed repeatedly in the sky, emerging from the other side of the heavens and staring intently at the beam of light hurtling towards him.
