Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation-Novel2

Chapter 1357: Scaring Away the Opponent

Xiao Chen knew where Maple Leaf Lake was, so he did not get anyone to lead the way. He simply brought the two girls with him and rushed over.

Along the way, the group did not see any ordinary people in the vast territory of Supreme Sky Province. Because the formerly bustling cities were not a formation node, many were completely empty, looking very cold and desolate.

As the group flew, Xiao Chen chatted with the two girls in a soft voice. He recalled the past scenes of Supreme Sky Province, sighing in his heart.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Occasionally, Supreme Sky Sect disciples flew by. They all had urgent expressions on their faces, looking flustered. However, they all displayed anger towards a common enemy, filled with fighting spirit.

Suddenly, a group of people flew over from in front and happened to meet with Xiao Chen's trio. When they looked at each other, both sides were stunned.

The leader of the other group was tall and stocky, his eyes shining with strong fighting spirit. The person beside him had delicate facial features. He looked ordinary despite the black Qi hovering over him.

With a quick thought, Xiao Chen figured out who these two were. The stocky one was Situ Gang, an outstanding talent from one of the battle realms. Unfortunately, he did not rise up. When they first arrived in the Kunlun Realm, he had caused some trouble for Xiao Chen.

The one on the right was Zhuo Yushi. When Xiao Chen first came to the Kunlun Realm, he had been friends with him. However, Xiao Chen later discovered that Zhuo Yushi's heart for the Dao was not resolute; hence, he broke off all relations with him.

The matters of the world changed a lot. Unexpectedly, they met again today.

Situ Gang felt bitter. When Xiao Chen first came to the Kunlun Realm, Xiao Chen's cultivation had been even lower than his. Now, the difference between them was like heaven and earth. Xiao Chen was already a true major character, having re-established the Dragon's Gate and fought Martial Emperors.

After a long time, Situ Gang and Zhuo Yushi said together, "Greetings, Azure Dragon King."

Xiao Chen waved his hand and said, "There's no need to greet me like that. Just address me as Senior Brother Xiao Chen. Your complexions do not look good. Did you just return from the battlefield?"

Situ Gang nodded and replied, "We just returned from Maple Leaf Lake. I'm still fine, but Junior Brother Zhuo is severely injured. His internal injuries are rather serious."

Xiao Chen thought, This is rather coincidental. He went over and said, "Let me take a look."

Xiao Chen placed a finger on Zhuo Yushi's body and immediately frowned. Dense Death Qi was flowing in his meridians. His internal organs had all sustained significant damage. Any delay in treatment would aggravate his injuries.

Xiao Chen made a prompt decision. He drove his Primordial Energy and swept out this Death Qi as if clearing dead branches.

"Pu ci!"

Zhuo Yushi vomited out a mouthful of black blood. Then, his complexion immediately improved markedly. He said quickly, "Many thanks, Senior Brother."

Yue Bingyun stepped forward and handed Zhuo Yushi a bottle of Medicinal Pills. "This is the Sun Essence Pill. It is very effective in helping cultivators recover from Death Qi damage."

"The Sun Essence Pill is a Sage Grade Medicinal Pill of the Lunar Palace." This realization startled Zhuo Yushi. When he raised his head and saw Yue Bingyun's fairy-like appearance, he was shocked. "You are the Lunar Palace's Holy Daughter?"

Yue Bingyun smiled faintly and said, "Bingyun is no longer the Holy Daughter. Now, I am just an insignificant guest of the Dragon's Gate."

Xiao Chen was more concerned about Maple Leaf Lake's situation. He asked Situ Gang, "Junior Brother Situ, did you just say that Maple Leaf Lake is under attack? What is the situation? Can you tell me more?"

Situ Gang wondered why Xiao Chen was asking this. However, he still answered honestly, "The node at Maple Leaf Lake was sneak-attacked by the Deity Dao Union. They suddenly sent two Corpse Race Martial Emperors and many other Corpse Race experts.

"Right now, the battle is in a stalemate. The elder said that the inner hall already sent a new expert to go and personally take control. Then, he let us injured disciples return temporarily."

Xiao Chen nodded. After saying goodbye, he rushed towards Maple Leaf Lake with the two girls.

As Zhuo Yushi and Situ Gang watched Xiao Chen's departing figure with the bronze sword box on his back, they could not help showing envious expressions. Once upon a time, Xiao Chen had been on the same starting line as them.

This was especially so for Zhuo Yushi. Back then, he had a good relationship with Xiao Chen. Looking at things now, even the Lunar Palace's Holy Daughter became a close female friend of Xiao Chen. However, back then, he hesitated on whether he should call Xiao Chen a friend or not.

After one hour, Maple Leaf Lake appeared in Xiao Chen's view. It was an expansive lake.

Red maple trees blanketed the mountains around the lake. When the wind blew, the fiery-red maple leaves would drift down gently like rain.

This was how Maple Leaf Lake got its name. In the past, this was a famous scenic spot of Supreme Sky Province.

Now, the calm of the lake was broken by a group of Corpse Race cultivators controlling the Demonic Corpses unique to the Corpse Race, charging at the small island in the middle of the lake in groups. They wanted to break this node once and for all.

Among these Corpse Race cultivators, two caught Xiao Chen's attention. These two people sat cross-legged on coffins floating in the air, looking coldly at the situation below.

These two Corpse Race cultivators each had a golden armband tied around their right arms, a stark contrast to the Supreme Sky Sect's scarlet armband.

These two watching Corpse Race Martial Emperors had not taken action yet because the person in charge of Maple Leaf Lake still held the energy of the formation in reserve.

The two Corpse Race Martial Emperors looked around and discovered Xiao Chen, Mo Chen, and Yue Chenxi, who were rushing over.

"Are they the reinforcements that the Supreme Sky Sect sent? There is not even a single Martial Emperor. To think that the Supreme Sky Sect looks down on us this much!"

"Old Yuan, I'll leave these three to you. I'll keep an eye on below, see if there is any chance to damage this node severely."

"Whoosh!"

A hemp-robed old man exuding heavy Death Qi from his entire body laughed maniacally and quickly flew over on the coffin he was sitting on.

In a few breaths, this old man arrived before Xiao Chen. "You are just an insignificant quasi-Emperor, and you dare to come and serve as reinforcements? Die?"

The hemp-robed old man did not want to waste any time on Xiao Chen. He did not even bother saying anything else or taking out the Demonic Corpse in the coffin under him. He leaped over and flew towards Xiao Chen, throwing a palm strike. A mysterious phenomenon immediately formed: a withered bone palm emerging from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, looking very scary.

Xiao Chen's lips curled up into a smile. This was just a First Heaven Martial Emperor, and yet this person dared to act so arrogantly before him.

This person was truly tired of living.

As Xiao Chen carried the bronze sword box on his back, he did not move a step. With a flip of his hand, he shot out a Thousand Year Flame.

Not drunk after a thousand cups, the lofty aspirations and hot-bloodedness are all contained in this moon.

This bright moon was fiery. As Xiao Chen threw this palm strike, the bright moon descended from the sky, crashing directly into that mountain of corpses and sea of blood.

The horrifying mysterious phenomenon immediately scattered. That hemp-robed old man got blasted by the attack and became covered in wounds. He flew back in a sorry state and landed on the coffin.

"Primordial Energy! You are a quasi-Emperor with Primordial Energy! You are Xiao Chen! The Azure Dragon King Xiao Chen!"

On the coffin lid, the hemp-robed old man revealed an expression of horror, losing all fighting spirit. He immediately turned and fled.

At the same time, the hemp-robed old man sent a voice projection to the other Corpse Race Martial Emperor. Quickly, leave, fast! The Azure Dragon King Xiao Chen is here. We are no match for him. Quickly, run!

Xiao Chen had even managed to kill a Fifth Heaven Greater Heavenly Martial Emperor in the Heavenly Starry Ocean—a feat that stirred up a huge storm in the circle of Martial Emperors.

Although the Martial Emperors knew that Xiao Chen definitely used some Secret Treasure or secret art, no one knew whether he could use it again or not. These two Corpse Race Martial Emperors wanted to use this round of sneak attacks to take the lead in gaining military merits. They were not willing to die here for nothing.

"It's him!"

The other Corpse Race Martial Emperor was shocked. He shouted at the Corpse Race cultivators below, "Scatter!"

The Corpse Race cultivators surrounding the small island in the middle of the lake could not understand. They clearly held the advantage and came with two Martial Emperors to sneak-attack this Maple Leaf Lake. Why were they scattering now?

However, their superiors already issued the order, so they had to scatter. Instantly, they withdrew into the distance like the receding tide.

The disciples on Maple Leaf Lake were shocked as well. They did not know what was happening. Why did the Corpse Race cultivators suddenly retreat in a flurry?

Even the two Corpse Race Martial Emperors were fleeing in panic.

Clearly, there was no third Martial Emperor. This meant that their reinforcements did not have any Martial Emperors. However, why did the enemy scatter?

"I'm leaving for a bit and will return soon," Xiao Chen said to the two girls beside him. Then, carrying the bronze sword box on his back, he executed the Fish Dragon Art and gave chase.

If Xiao Chen let two First Heaven Martial Emperors escape before his eyes, he would not be able to forgive himself.
