After conquering the Empress, I proved my Dao with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace!

"So fast?"

In just over ten breaths, Qin Chuan, who was speeding away through the air, suddenly frowned.

He had already sensed a powerful aura rushing towards him from behind.

This wasn't the first time Qin Chuan had faced a Xuanhuang Realm cultivator, and he felt no fear in his heart.

Before Qin Chuan could fly very far, the blue-faced cultivator had already caught up.

Above its head, within the spreading pale yellow light screen, there was a blurry sword shadow.

The sword seemed illusory, but Qin Chuan's mind was immediately shaken at just a glance from afar.

A strong sense of crisis suddenly welled up in my mind.

He gritted his teeth and immediately activated his lightning wings with all his might, rushing forward at an even faster speed.

The next moment, the sword shadow that moved heaven and earth stirred up endless cold, as if it could freeze everything in all directions.

In an instant, it passed right through Qin Chuan's illusory body.

"Such speed! But I don't believe you, a mere first-level Xuanhuang cultivator, can escape from my grasp!"

The blue-faced cultivator spoke calmly, his eyes closed, and the sword's shadow flickered as its tip spun in all directions.

Three breaths later, the illusory sword shadow suddenly hummed, its tip pointing eastward.

The blue-faced cultivator suddenly opened his eyes and, in a flash, headed straight for the east.

Dozens of miles away, Qin Chuan was running at breakneck speed, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and a sword wound cutting open his flesh on his chest.

If Qin Chuan had been a little slower, that sword strike might have severed his body in two.

Before he could wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, Qin Chuan sped off like lightning.

"The fifth level of the Profound Emperor realm is indeed not to be underestimated..."

Qin Chuan's face was gloomy as he muttered to himself.

Although he was already at the Profound Emperor Realm, he was only at the first level, and there was still a considerable gap between him and this blue-faced cultivator.

As he sped along, Qin Chuan took out a pill and threw it into his mouth. The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, making his whole body feel warm and making him even faster.

While recovering from his injuries, he was also recovering the Xuan energy he had previously consumed.

But only a dozen breaths later, an icy aura suddenly appeared behind Qin Chuan.

The blue-faced cultivator closed in closely, his thin body radiating an astonishing aura.

Almost the instant he sensed the other party's arrival, Qin Chuan immediately took out a jade pendant from the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace and held it in his hand.

"I told you, you couldn't escape. You're just a mere first-level Xuanhuang Realm cultivator. You should be proud of yourself for being able to hold out for so long!"

The moment the blue-faced cultivator spoke calmly, the sword in his hand suddenly thrust out.

In an instant, a piercing sword cry rang out, carrying an indescribable chill, and it rushed straight towards Qin Chuan.

Its speed is so fast that one moment it is still far away, and the next moment it is already close by.

The sword shadow was heading straight for his brow, about to pierce through him in an instant, and Qin Chuan had no time to dodge.

The vast difference in their realms made everything seem like a matter of life and death.

But at that very moment, Qin Chuan's eyes suddenly flashed, and a wisp of green light suddenly flew out from his palm.

The light flashed, covering the entire body like flowing water, and then suddenly expanded outward, forming a blue light curtain.

The sword shadows collided instantly.

Almost the instant the cyan light screen appeared, the face beneath the cyan-faced cultivator's mask suddenly changed drastically.

His eyes narrowed, his expression filled with disbelief. He tried to recall the sword shadow, but it was too late.

Silently, the seemingly astonishing sword shadow appeared to be fragile and vulnerable the moment it touched the cyan light barrier.

"Kaka..."

It crumbled and shattered inch by inch, and was completely pulverized in an instant.

As the sword shadow shattered, the blue-faced cultivator groaned, blood trickling from beneath his mask.

At that moment, anger flashed in his eyes.

Despite being a powerful expert at the fifth level of the Xuanhuang realm, he was unable to capture a junior at the first level of the Xuanhuang realm.

He was even injured in the backlash from the collapse of the sword shadow!

"A magic weapon containing the cultivation level of the Profound Emperor Realm, let's see how many times you can use it!"

The green-faced cultivator's eyes flashed with even more killing intent, and he darted straight toward Qin Chuan.

He raised his right hand and formed a hand seal, instantly unleashing his cultivation power. He suddenly slammed a palm forward, hurtling towards Qin Chuan.

At the same time, the cyan light curtain dissipated and returned to Qin Chuan's hand, transforming into a jade pendant.

Although it did not completely shatter, it had several obvious cracks.

Clearly, it could no longer withstand any more blows.

This jade pendant was a gift from Gu Jingshan, an elder of the Gu family, when they were at the Zhaixinglou stronghold.

At first, Qin Chuan didn't understand the function of the jade pendant. After reaching the Xuanhuang Realm, he took some time to study it.

They discovered that it contained the cultivation level of a Xuanhuang Realm expert, and was actually a defensive magic weapon.

At this moment, blood trickled from the corner of the blue-faced cultivator's mouth beneath his mask. Despite being injured by the backlash, he strode toward Qin Chuan.

As the palm print approached, a fierce killing intent flashed in Qin Chuan's eyes.

Instead of fleeing, he gripped his sword in his right hand and slashed at the blue-faced cultivator.

"Silver Moon Slash!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a silver sword light, imbued with an unparalleled aura, slashed towards him with unstoppable force.

As the sword light flashed, the surrounding air vibrated violently.

"boom!"

In an instant, the sword light and the palm print collided, unleashing a deafening roar.

The two energies canceled each other out, creating a fierce gale.

"What kind of magic is this?"

The blue-faced cultivator's eyes widened, and he was startled.

He originally thought that the strange bloodstain was the opponent's strongest move.

Unexpectedly, the sword techniques he displayed at this moment were equally impressive.

Just then, Qin Chuan's left eye turned blood red, and his killing intent surged.

Even more so, as he walked forward, he raised his left hand and cut his finger.

First finger, second finger, third finger...

Blood flowed from the fifth finger, condensing the power of the five fingers to form a blood seal!

The moment the bloodstain appeared, Qin Chuan pushed it away, sending it flying towards the blue-faced cultivator.

All of this sounds slow, but it all happened in an instant.

"A mere trick, break it!"

The young cultivator's eyes flashed, and he suddenly let out a low roar.

As he spoke, he raised his right hand, made a hand seal, and pressed it forward sharply.

With this press, the heavens and earth roared, and a phantom giant snake materialized menacingly.

It rushed straight towards Qin Chuan's magic, with a deafening roar.

"boom!"

The Floating Pagoda Seal collapsed and disintegrated, Qin Chuan's face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

He was like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto a mountainside below.

In an instant, dust billowed up across the mountains, startling many birds and animals into flight.

Soon, the blue-faced cultivator landed not far away, looked at the blurry figure lying in the dust and smoke, and sneered.

"Wang Xueyi, I admit you are very strong, you could even be said to be the number one among the younger generation."

"Unfortunately... the gap between us cannot be closed by someone as mere Xuanhuang level one!"

His expression beneath the mask was gloomy, and his eyes gleamed with a cold light.

Deep within that cold light, besides smugness, there was even more anger.
