Chapter 1029: Qi Qin Da Yuan Du
Chapter 1029: Qi Qin Da Yuan Du
In a certain area of Jiaorong, a flash of light appeared, and Zhao Zhenye emerged from a rift, but he seemed a bit unsteady in his footsteps.
The previous clash seemed to have torn open a rift within him, and now the two forces became increasingly unstable, repelling each other with a growing intensity.
However, his decision to confront Chen Chuan directly was not an impulsive act but a tactical choice.
He knew that Chen Chuan had likely been cultivating in Jiaorong for half a year, and his strength had grown significantly during this time. Zhao Zhenye couldn't rely on past experiences to gauge his opponent's current abilities. By engaging in a direct clash, he could gauge the opponent's power and then decide on his next move.
In fact, possessing the Fumu Power, Zhao Zhenye feared nothing more than such a collision. The more powerful the force that entered his body, the less impact it would have on him afterward.
But unexpectedly, this revealed a hidden issue within his body.
And it wasn't just that...
He raised his hand and looked at it. There was a faint purple glow entangled with the Soul Fire. This had appeared after that clash, and when he tried to repel it, it was to no avail. He had a feeling that even if he cut off his hand and it grew back, this thing would still exist.
He suspected this might be a tracking method, something the opponent had left within him, and he felt that no matter where he went, the opponent might be able to find him through this.
If that was the case, then no matter what he did, he might be under the opponent's surveillance. He might not even be able to approach the central city, so he had to find a way to resolve this issue.
At that moment, he looked up, and right in front of him was a Zen temple. He followed the mountain path and arrived at the temple gate.
The Zen Ascetic stood in the same spot as when Zhao Zhenye had left, as if he had never moved, or perhaps he had known that Zhao Zhenye would return. He clasped his hands and said, "The believer has returned."
Zhao Zhenye said, "Zen Master, there is an external invasion within my body. Can your temple help me cleanse and expel it?"
The Zen Ascetic examined him carefully for a moment, then shook his head in disappointment. "I'm afraid I have disappointed you, believer. This energy is from the Xuan Supreme Law, and while our temple has a method to resolve it, it is not something we can use."
Zhao Zhenye frowned. He hadn't expected that even this place couldn't resolve this issue, which might be more troublesome than he had thought. To avoid being pursued by the opponent, going to the Imperial Capital City seemed like the best option, as no matter how powerful the opponent was, they couldn't possibly chase him there.
However, he had just refused Su Kuo and the others, so it wouldn't be appropriate to go to the Imperial Capital City now. As for returning to confront the opponent...
He shook his head. With this hidden issue in his body, he couldn't fully utilize his strength even if he went back.
Just then, the Zen Ascetic spoke again, "Our temple may not have the means to resolve it, but if the believer is willing to go to Da Yuan Temple and seek the protection of the Holy One, or even join the temple, then perhaps your difficulty can be resolved."
"Da Yuan Temple?"
Zhao Zhenye was a bit surprised. He had heard of Da Yuan Temple; it was one of the six major temples of the Zen Sect. However, eight hundred years ago, when the Xuan Sect dominated, the Zen Sect had gone into hiding, and its location was unknown. He said, "Isn't that a crucial place for your sect? Can I, Zhao, go there?"
The Zen Ascetic smiled and said, "Ordinary people cannot go, but you, believer, can."
Zhao Zhenye looked deeply at the Zen Ascetic before him. At that moment, he suddenly thought of the problem within his body, and he wondered if the Zen Ascetic had known about it all along but hadn't warned him.
Was his first thought to come here to solve the problem his own will, or was it the wish of the Zen Temple?
Especially when the Zen Ascetic mentioned the Xuan Supreme Law, he felt that this was somehow related to the conflict between the Xuan and Zen Sects.
The Zen Ascetic just stood there, smiling silently.
After some consideration, Zhao Zhenye said, "I want to go to Da Yuan Temple, but the energy within my body is unstable, and the enemy might pursue me. Can you help me suppress it?"
The Zen Ascetic listened carefully, then nodded. "There is a method that might be of use, but you should know that external energy is still external. Although you may benefit from borrowing its power now, one day you will have to return it."
Zhao Zhenye slowly said, "I will return it one day."
The Zen Ascetic nodded. "Follow me, believer."
He led Zhao Zhenye back into the temple and guided him to sit in front of a large statue. Soon, the sound of Zen chanting filled the air, and Zhao Zhenye's energy gradually became calm. Before long, the restless energy within him was suppressed, and he no longer felt the sense of conflict and struggle.
However, Zhao Zhenye knew that this was only temporary, and he wasn't sure if it would resurface when he fought someone. Therefore, he must leave early and thoroughly resolve the other problem within his body before Chen Chuan found him.
He sat there motionless, as if pondering something. After a while, he seemed to have made up his mind, stood up, and said to the Zen Ascetic, "Zen Master, I wish to go to Da Yuan Temple. Please guide me."
The Zen Ascetic smiled slightly. "Just follow this path, believer."
Zhao Zhenye hesitated for a moment, then said, "Zen Master, can I ask you for a favor?"
The Zen Ascetic said, "Please speak, my lord."
Zhao Zhenye took out a letter and said, "I would be grateful if you could deliver this letter to my student."
The Zen Ascetic took the letter, carefully put it away, and then clasped his hands together in a respectful gesture.
Zhao Zhenye stepped out of the temple gate, glanced at the purple Qi in his hand, clenched his palm, and a rift suddenly appeared outside his body. He stepped into it, and in an instant, the light dimmed and disappeared.
On the Dongqing Plain, in front of the old imperial court's grand army formation, Chen Chuan's sword slashed down. Before the blade even reached its target, the spiritual fire on the sword already illuminated General Su Kuo, causing the spiritual fire outside his body to flicker as if about to crack.
Su Kuo saw Chen Chuan's sword deflect the long hammer with one swing, and then, with another swing, he thrust forward. These two moves were executed with simplicity and power, seamlessly connected. Su Kuo was secretly astonished.
It was known that Su Kuo had borrowed the power of his horse to strike with all his might, and even then, he couldn't cause Chen Chuan to hesitate during the clash of weapons. The strength and speed displayed were almost inhuman, and Su Kuo had never seen anyone else demonstrate such prowess in their normal state.
At this moment, Su Kuo was in the middle of a spinning maneuver, striking back at his enemy with a reverse grip. The Xun Chilong under him was also half-turned, still in the midst of the turning motion. Su Kuo clamped his legs tightly, not only preventing a retreat but also adjusting the horse's head to face forward, charging straight towards Chen Chuan.
At this moment, the deep red spiritual fire on Su Kuo's body merged with the light on the Xun Chilong, and thick scales appeared on the horse's body, quickly enveloping its front. In a short distance, the horse's speed suddenly surged.
Chen Chuan's sword remained unwavering. His body leaped into the air, and he slashed at the charging horse's head!
In that instant, it was as if two streams of rushing light collided, and the onlookers only saw a flash before their eyes, leaving them unable to see anything clearly.
In the middle of the battlefield, where the sword blade met the scales, the white-golden and deep red lights clashed violently, like lightning bolts darting about.
Even with the protection of its thick spiritual fire and scales, the Xun Chilong couldn't withstand the impact. Chen Chuan's sword forcefully split the light and flames, deeply slicing into the horse's skull. Scorching blood and spiritual fire spurted out together.
Even at this critical moment, the Xun Chilong didn't stop. Instead, it dug its hooves into the ground and continued to charge forward, bearing the blow.
Su Kuo, at this moment, raised his long hammer and struck at Chen Chuan, who was still in mid-air.
Chen Chuan's eyes flashed, but he made no attempt to dodge. Suddenly, a gigantic hand appeared above him and slapped down towards Su Kuo!
Su Kuo, in the midst of a full-power attack, couldn't adjust his actions, and the two attacks inevitably landed on each other.
The long hammer slammed into Chen Chuan's side, causing a burst of light and fire. The impact sent him flying like a streak of light, tumbling in the air several times before finally crashing to the ground with a loud boom. The impact shattered the ground, creating a gully over ten meters long, and hot air swirled around him.
On the other side, Su Kuo, along with his horse, was struck by the palm and forcefully knocked into the ground. A visible ring-shaped shockwave expanded outward, and dust and air surged like a hurricane, leaving a massive crater in the field. The ground around the crater seemed to tremble, with spider-web-like cracks spreading outward.
But in the next moment, the giant hand seemed to sense something and suddenly disappeared. Then, a deep red spiritual impact light burst forth from that spot, so intense that it seemed to dye the entire plain a deep red.
A shrill neigh echoed as the horse and rider leaped into the air, their bodies covered in splattering hot blood. They landed on the ground, took another step, and then suddenly soared into the sky, leaping back and forth several times before reaching the high heavens.
Su Kuo reined in his horse, turning it around. He glanced at Chen Chuan and noticed multiple cracks on his armor. One side of his shoulder armor was completely shattered, and his chest rose and fell slightly, indicating significant energy expenditure. However, when he looked at Chen Chuan, his gaze froze; the previous hammer strike seemed to have caused no harm to Chen Chuan.
Chen Chuan slowly straightened his body, sword in hand, and stared at Su Kuo in the sky. At this moment, he was using only his normal state power.
Logically, Zhao Zhenye had left, but it was uncertain if he would return. Chen Chuan should have immediately merged with his second self and used his fastest speed to slay his opponent, eliminating all variables. Even if that person reappeared, it wouldn't matter.
However, when he tried to do so, he vaguely sensed that it might not be appropriate.
Up until now, this person hadn't used the ability of his outer form, choosing to conceal it. This was highly unusual, and there was definitely something he didn't know about.
But it didn't matter. Ever since entering the Immortality Realm and achieving the supreme method, his altered organization had undergone a tremendous transformation. Compared to martial artists of the same level, his power was almost overwhelming. Just now, Su Kuo had to rely on his horse's power to confront Chen Chuan, and even then, Chen Chuan could easily suppress him.
At this moment, Chen Chuan looked up at the sky and raised one hand, aiming at the heavens. In an instant, a ball of light flickered in his palm.
