The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

Sure enough, not long after, Tang Haotian charged towards Chen Xuan's location like a madman.

In an instant, he appeared in front of Chen Xuan.

"How dare you! Hand over the silver right now!" Tang Haotian glared at Chen Xuan, his anger barely contained.

"Oh? You mean this?" Chen Xuan smiled and took out his plant clone.

"Chen Xuan! Be gentle! Don't kill it! I was wrong as the older brother before. Tell me, what do you want? I'll do everything I can to satisfy you!"

Seeing Chen Xuan grasp the plant, Tang Haotian hesitated, unsure of what to do next.

"I didn't mean anything by it, I just... wanted to fight you!" Chen Xuan said, crushing his plant clone.

There is nothing that can enrage him faster than igniting his hope and then shattering it.

"Do not!!!!!!"

Tang Haotian let out a shrill scream.

"I want you to die!!!"

In an instant, the pressure of the Mahayana stage swept towards Chen Xuan. Tang Haotian's eyes were filled with madness, and a golden giant hammer appeared in his hand, which he smashed towards Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan remained calm and composed. He was not flustered; he simply waved his hand, and an invisible energy barrier appeared in front of him.

After all, he was only at the Integration Stage. Facing a Mahayana Stage cultivator who was two major realms above him, he still needed to test the waters to see where the difference lay between them.

"Ding!"

The golden hammer slammed into the energy barrier with a deafening roar, and the energy waves spread out, causing the surrounding trees to sway wildly.

The energy barrier vanished in an instant, and Chen Xuan used the Shrinking Earth Technique to dodge the attack.

"I didn't expect you to be hiding so well, but you're still going to die!" Tang Haotian shouted angrily, raising his hammer and smashing it down on Chen Xuan again.

"Tang Haotian, you overestimate yourself." Chen Xuan smiled faintly. "Today, I'll show you that you're nothing but a hypocrite!"

Having withstood Tang Haotian's furious hammer blow, Chen Xuan had a general idea of ​​his skill level.

"Enough with the nonsense, get up!"

Tang Haotian wielded his giant hammer, charging madly towards Chen Xuan. His face was filled with rage and madness, and the pressure of his Mahayana stage cultivation caused the surrounding space to tremble.

Chen Xuan's expression was solemn; he knew he had to take this battle seriously.

He lightly grasped at the air, and a longsword of thunder and fire appeared in his hand. Then, without hesitation, he wielded the longsword to block Tang Haotian's attack.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

Tang Haotian's giant hammer and Chen Xuan's longsword clashed in mid-air, producing a series of metallic clangs. Their battle intensified, their speed increasing until they were almost invisible to the naked eye.

The surrounding trees were destroyed by the aftershocks of the battle, and the earth was cracked, revealing deep fissures. The surrounding buildings were also reduced to ruins by this terrifying force.

Tang Haotian became increasingly shocked as the fight progressed, and then took a step back to create distance between himself and Chen Xuan.

"I never expected you to be so cunning. With your level of skill, what merit or ability does the Hehuan Sect have to capture you? What exactly is your purpose in approaching my Tangchui Sect!"

"Defeat me, and I'll tell you."

"No need! You killed my Yin'er, and you must die today! I underestimated you before, but now I'll show you the true strength of the Mahayana stage! And the unique skill of a core disciple of my Tang Hammer Sect!"

"Random Hammering Technique!"

Tang Haotian roared and swung his hammer at Chen Xuan.

Faced with Tang Haotian's attack, Chen Xuan remained calm, knowing full well that his cultivation level was weak.

"Although it's like throwing an egg against a rock for someone at the Integration stage to contend with a cultivator at the Mahayana stage. But... I'm at least a cheat code. If I can't even get past you, what am I talking about in the World Championship... no, what am I talking about in the Immortal Realm as an Immortal King!"

"Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Source!" Chen Xuan roared, and sword light rained down on Tang Haotian.

"A mere trick!" Tang Haotian sneered, swinging his golden giant hammer to instantly block the sword light attack.

"Sword Escape!" Chen Xuan used his escape technique again, attempting to get close to Tang Haotian and deliver a fatal blow.

However, Tang Haotian seemed to have anticipated his actions, and with a sudden swing of his golden hammer, a powerful force instantly sent Chen Xuan flying.

"At the same cultivation level, you are already very powerful. In fact, even cultivators in the Tribulation Transcending stage might not be your match. But unfortunately, your opponent is me! I am in the late stage of the Mahayana stage, just three steps away from ascension!"

Tang Haotian sneered and brought down the golden hammer again.

A ruthless glint flashed in Chen Xuan's eyes.

"Sword of Heaven and Earth!" Chen Xuan roared, and the long sword in his hand emitted a dazzling light. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth surged into the sword, transforming into a huge sword aura that rushed towards Tang Haotian.

"boom!"

The golden hammer collided with the sword energy, producing a deafening roar that shook the heavens and earth.

Tang Haotian's expression turned serious.

"Random Hammering Technique! 50th Hammer!"

“?6?5!!”

In an instant, all the vegetation in the gloomy forest where the two were located evaporated completely.

However, Tang Haotian's strength was superior to Chen Xuan's. Although Chen Xuan's Heaven and Earth Sword was incredibly powerful, it was still blocked by Tang Haotian.

Sudden.

"puff!"

Tang Haotian spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward. His face was pale, and he was obviously seriously injured.

"When did you..."

"You're so careless just because you blocked my skill? I walked right behind you, and you couldn't even see me?" Chen Xuan said coldly.

"I was careless and didn't dodge." Tang Haotian stood up with difficulty, a resolute glint in his eyes.

"Being injured by a mere fused body like you is a stain I can never wash away, but... this ends here!"

"Random Hammering Technique, Hammer #81!"

Tang Haotian raised his sledgehammer, his eyes filled with madness, and swung it at Chen Xuan again.

Seeing Tang Haotian's crazed appearance, Chen Xuan sneered and then stopped hiding his strength, beginning to unleash his ultimate technique.

His hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals, and magic arrays appeared around him, completely surrounding Tang Haotian.

Upon seeing this, Tang Haotian, who had flown over, was startled. He realized that he was unable to break free from the constraints of these magic arrays, as if he were stuck in a quagmire.

"What...what kind of sorcery is this?" Tang Haotian asked in horror.

"Sorcery? Heh, this is real magic I learned from my wife!" Chen Xuan sneered as he continued to activate the magic array.

"The Yellow River with its nine bends!"

With a loud shout from Chen Xuan, various attack spells rained down on Tang Haotian.

Tang Haotian swung his giant hammer, desperately trying to defend himself.

However, the attacks from the Yellow River were so dense that he simply couldn't completely withstand them.

As the attacks rained down on him, countless wounds appeared on Tang Haotian's body.

Gradually, he felt his life force slowly slipping away!

"Damn it! I'll fight you to the death!" Tang Haotian roared, swinging his giant hammer at Chen Xuan.

However, Chen Xuan suddenly disappeared, and Tang Haotian's attack missed.

"How is this possible!" Tang Haotian stared in astonishment at the empty ground.

Suddenly, he felt a chill down his spine, and a strong sense of crisis washed over him.

He quickly turned around, only to see Chen Xuan holding a long sword, thrusting it towards him.

Tang Haotian hurriedly swung his giant hammer, trying to block it.

However, Chen Xuan's longsword was like a bolt of lightning, instantly tearing through the void and piercing Tang Haotian's chest.

"puff!"

Tang Haotian spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling his life force rapidly draining away.

Tang Haotian's eyes widened. He never imagined that he would be defeated by Chen Xuan, and that he couldn't even escape!

The next moment, his body collapsed limply, and his life force gradually faded away.

"I...I won't accept this!"

Tang Haotian's eyes were filled with resentment, yet within this formation, his body had begun to slowly dissipate.

In the end, under the formation of the Yellow River, Tang Haotian turned into dust and drifted away with the wind.

At the same time, Chen Xuan was so exhausted that he collapsed on the ground, panting heavily.

"Damn it, I haven't even reached the beginner level with this Nine-Bend Yellow River technique. It's so difficult to fight a Mahayana cultivator. You know, when my wife and the others used it, even a group of powerful figures couldn't help! It was only when a Saint intervened..."

"You'll need to practice more in the future!"
