Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1361 (Raw 1351): Borrowing One's Head

Xiao Chen also found the Ghost Race cultivators a headache to deal with. It would have been great if only the Reincarnation Lamp had not broken in the Yellow Springs Road.

However, it was still fine. Now, Xiao Chen's Mental Energy was much stronger. He even condensed a Dharmic Incarnation in the depths of his sea of consciousness. Hence, his resistance to the spirits' attacks was strong.

More importantly, with Xiao Chen's current mental state, the Ghost Race's means would have difficulty affecting him.

Outside the invisible barrier, hundreds of Ghost Race cultivators formed hand seals simultaneously, summoning malicious spirits. Some strong experts even summoned four or five spirits with frightening appearances in one go.

With the manifestation of these specters and malicious spirits, the temperature around Maple Leaf Lake dropped significantly. A chill descended upon the island, reaching deep into bones and causing many disciples to shiver.

Xiao Chen frowned slightly. This won't do. Before the battle begins, they are already afraid. Later, in combat, even with the support of the formation, they will not have much of an advantage.

One should not look down on these hundreds of Ghost Race cultivators. Although the strongest of them were only quasi-Emperors, when attacking together, they could kill Martial Emperors. While Xiao Chen fought with the Ghost Race Martial Emperors, these lower-level Ghost Race cultivators might break the defense of the island and destroy the node.

At that time, even if Xiao Chen killed all four Martial Emperors, he would still be the loser. In this great battle, he needed to consider the overall situation.

"Azure Dragon King, do you have any ideas?" the purple-clad old man standing beside Xiao Chen asked worriedly. He had not expected so many Ghost Race cultivators to come charging at Maple Leaf Lake.

Xiao Chen shook his head. There was no way to banish their fear of Ghost Race cultivators quickly, so he could only try to think of another way.

"End the battle quickly and reduce our losses as much as possible. Bingyun, Mo Chen, accompany Elder Ma to battle later. Finish off these Ghost Race cultivators before they reach the island. I'll deal with their Martial Emperors."

The moment Xiao Chen said that, Elder Ma, Yue Bingyun, and Mo Chen looked at Xiao Chen in shock.

The purple-clad old man said, "How can that do? Those are four Martial Emperors. Furthermore, based on my observation, one of them should be a Third Heaven Martial Emperor—a Ghost Race Martial Emperor. I need to help you."

Xiao Chen countered, "Elder Ma, there is no need to worry about me. Even if I cannot defeat them, I'll have no problem protecting myself against those four people."

Given the current situation, Xiao Chen's method was the best option. The enemy absolutely would not expect him to take on the four of them by himself.

Then, Elder Ma, a Martial Emperor, would be participating in the battle below for those under Martial Emperor. As long as he could kill or repulse the hundreds of attacking Ghost Race cultivators on the lake, the enemy would have no choice but to retreat.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Just as Xiao Chen spoke, hundreds of Ghost Race cultivators on the lake led an even larger number of specters and malicious spirits into the area covered by the formation, charging towards the island in the center with surging killing Qi.

The instant these Ghost Race cultivators entered the formation, their aura and speed weakened distinctly. This was the might of formations. However, when facing the Ghost Race, the morale of the Supreme Sky Sect disciples was not any better.

Since that was the case, Xiao Chen could only forcefully raise their morale!

Before Elder Ma could say anything, Xiao Chen soared into the air, heading for the warship of the Ghost Race Third Heaven Martial Emperor.

Then, Elder Ma saw a broken banner falling from the sky before he could even recover his wits.

When Xiao Chen charged over to the warship, he immediately killed the two Ghost Race cultivators holding the banner and snapped it with one palm strike.

This turn of events stunned all the Supreme Sky Sect and Thunder and Lightning Palace disciples on the island. After staring blankly for a moment, they recovered their wits and cheered.

"It's the Azure Dragon King!"

"The Azure Dragon King Xiao Chen came out and broke the enemy's banner!"

As for the Ghost Race cultivators, who arrived with great morale, the suddenly broken banner falling stopped them cold in their tracks.

"How can this be? How could the banner have broken so quickly? Who is this person? He is so fast."

Nervousness and confusion agitated the Ghost Race cultivators' hearts as their morale weakened.

Mo Chen immediately stepped forward and demanded, "Elder Ma, if you do not attack now, when are you going to?!"

A light flashed in Elder Ma's eyes as he released Emperor's Might from his body. He shouted, "Disciples defending the island, heed my orders, the Azure Dragon King has already broken the enemy's banner. We will definitely win this battle. Everyone, kill these Ghost Race cultivators with me!"

"Kill!"

With Xiao Chen breaking the banner and Elder Ma, as well as the two girls, leading the charge, the fighting spirit of the many disciples at the island flared. They charged out with high morale.

An intense battle immediately commenced on the vast lake.

Up in the sky, when the Ghost Race Martial Emperor on this warship saw Xiao Chen suddenly appear and break off the banner, his face turned extremely sullen.

This black-robed person glared at Xiao Chen, his pale face filled with murderous intent, as he said coldly, "I was wondering what was going on, for two Corpse Race Martial Emperors not to return. It turns out that the famous Azure Dragon King is here."

The white-clad Xiao Chen with the bronze sword box on his back stood on the ship's railing. Aside from the bottom half of the broken banner, the corpses of two Corpse Race Martial Sages lay at his feet.

Xiao Chen said indifferently, "There is no need to try and drag things out. I'll give you a chance and wait for your companions to arrive."

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Three figures came from different directions. The Ghost Race Martial Emperors on the other warships appeared at the same time. They each stood on a different side of Xiao Chen, surrounding him.

The black-robed Martial Emperor in front was a Third Heaven Martial Emperor and did not fear Xiao Chen. When he saw his companions arrive, he laughed, "It is good to be courageous. However, beyond a certain point, courage becomes arrogance and ignorance. The Ghost Race is far stronger than you think. Today will be your death anniversary. Remember this old man's name—Su Muqing."

With his companions here, Su Muqing no longer wasted time speaking with Xiao Chen. His ghostly figure flashed as he charged at Xiao Chen.

Su Muqing's pace was swift. His afterimages swayed, looking like three people moving. It was hard to figure out which was real.

When Su Muqing got close to Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen discovered that Su Muqing had a malicious spirit on each side that was no weaker than him. It looked like only one person attacked, but there were actually three Martial-Emperor-level beings attacking at the same time.

Furthermore, the three Ghost Race First Heaven Martial Emperors charged over at this moment, each of them accompanied by a Martial-Emperor-level malicious spirit that was no weaker than themselves. The situation immediately turned into a nine-on-one fight. No wonder Su Muqing did not feel flustered at all when Xiao Chen showed up.

This happened very quickly; Xiao Chen simply had no time to think. His figure swayed left and right, looking like two clones had appeared to deal with the attacks of Su Muqing and the two malicious spirits.

"Bang!"

The sound of three clashes layered over each other. Su Muqing took ten steps back while the two malicious spirits took one hundred.

The afterimages merged back together. Xiao Chen still stood on the railing, not having taken a single step back. His long sleeves flapped loudly in the wind.

Only now did the Martial Emperors discover that Xiao Chen did not have any clones. He was just too fast, attacking three times. His afterimages did not even have time to fade away, creating the impression that he split into three.

What dense Primordial Energy! How could this brat have such accumulations before advancing to Martial Emperor?!

Su Muqing felt startled in his heart. A grave expression appeared on his face as he called out loudly, "Don't hold back. Kill him directly, and our contribution will be much greater than that for taking down Maple Leaf Lake."

Xiao Chen, who was on the railing, did not have much time to rest. He had just knocked back Su Muqing when the other three Ghost Race Martial Emperors charged over with their malicious spirits.

Standing on the railing, Xiao Chen used his palm as a saber. His figure was like the fallen leaves drifting about in the wind, moving up and down. As he dealt with the Ghost Race Martial Emperors, he rained down a continuous barrage of attacks.

Xiao Chen would appear unstable for a moment, on the verge of falling over. However, just as he was about to, he would suddenly rise up like a dragon.

He swayed forward and backward, left and right. Occasionally, he spun around on one leg. His movements were unpredictable, leaving behind countless afterimages. Within this small area, he executed the Fish Dragon Art to the limits.

While Xiao Chen moved thousands of times, from the very start to the end, he never left the spot.

He brought out the profoundness of the Fish Dragon Art to the extremes. Several attacks looked like they clearly struck him. However, he was like a fish in the lake, separated by a layer of water. It was just an optical illusion that he was struck. In reality, the attacks only brushed by him.

"Big Brother Su, the brothers below can't hold on much longer," one of the Ghost Race Martial Emperors keeping an eye on the situation below said somewhat anxiously. Clearly, his mental state was shaken.

Su Muqing retorted coldly, "There is no need to care. As long as we kill him, we will benefit greatly. I do not believe that he can last longer than the four of us. Even if his Movement Technique is extremely profound, this old man will drag out the fight until he dies."

In this intense fight, Xiao Chen fought very carefreely. When he heard this claim, he said coldly, "That's right. I alone would not be able to outlast the four of you. However, when did I say that this was an endurance battle with you? From start to end, I, Xiao Chen, have been delaying you and not you delaying me!"

When Su Muqing heard this, his expression changed. Before he could react, he saw an unparalleledly sharp saber intent appear in the strange forcefield one kilometer around Xiao Chen. That was Xiao Chen merging the Saber Domain with the Taiji force field.

Saber intent gathered in Xiao Chen's eyes. His clothes fluttered about, and his aura suddenly changed—his entire body looked like a powerful and sharp treasure saber.

He swung his two hands wide, and melodious saber hums came from his body, spreading out.

It was as if treasure sabers had been unsheathed. As Xiao Chen swung his hands, the surging saber intent turned into strong winds pushing the four Ghost Race Martial Emperors back.

This saber intent was very keen, making anyone who heard the wind flinch back. A saber light flashed in front of the four attacking Xiao Chen. When they saw the saber wind approach, they all had to stop attacking and block, interrupting their attacks.

When Xiao Chen swung out his hands, they were treasure sabers being unsheathed. The fighting spirit in his heart was like a blazing flame fueled by his hot-bloodedness, burning endlessly.

"Many thanks to the four of you for attacking relentlessly, allowing the situation of this Maple Leaf Lake to turn around. It has been hard on you. However, this Xiao still needs to borrow your heads!"

Xiao Chen laughed out loud, overflowing with lofty aspirations. Then, he stomped ferociously, and the vast King Grade warship under his feet cracked and exploded.

The fight with the few Martial Emperors in the sky caused the clouds to roil. The sky changed color, and countless mysterious phenomena appeared in the clouds. As Xiao Chen laughed, even more clouds churned, and wind blew in the surroundings.

During normal times of peace, this spectacle would definitely have attracted the attention of many cultivators.

However, at this moment, such a scene was occurring all over Supreme Sky Province. The mysterious phenomena there were just an unremarkable wave in the surging tide of mysterious phenomena happening.

However, there was no need to worry about this. After this battle, with the support of the Azure Dragon King's reputation, this unremarkable wave would surge into an overwhelmingly huge billow!
