Talisman Emperor

Aruye took a deep breath and forcefully restrained the flames of rage in his heart before he said in a low voice, "Ying Luan, you go capture that bastard."

Ying Luan replied with an emotionless expression. "I was waiting for you to say that."

Her clothes fluttered as she strode forward, and her entire body emanated dazzling silver light. She was like a bright moon that had descended to the world, and she emanated an inviolable and horrifying imposing aura.

"Kill him!" The other black robed Ancient Shamans shouted loudly. They wanted Ying Luan to swiftly annihilate Chen Xi.

Ying Luan's status amongst the Ancient Shamans was clearly very high because many Ancient Shamans revealed excited expressions when they saw her ascend the battlefield.

Chen Xi stood on the Shaman Spirit Sacrificial Altar, and he watched silently with a piercingly cold and deep gaze as the silver haired woman approached.

Earlier, Yu Jiuhui had lost at her hands. Her combat strength was extremely formidable, and Yu Jiuhui was already unable to shake her while she was merely fighting barehanded.

In the end, Yu Jiuhui was injured at the center of his forehead after they'd exchanged just 300 blows, and he was crushed and imprisoned.

At this moment, as far as Chen Xi was concerned, Ying Luan was slightly stronger than Suo Lin, Lie Fuluo, and Ying Long.

Ying Luan strode through space while her slender figure was covered by silver divine radiance, and it made her seem dazzling, resplendent, divine, and dignified while her imposing aura was extremely terrifying.

Along with every step she took, space rumbled and exploded into pieces as well. Moreover, numerous silver flowers floated out from the heavens and the earth, and they seemed like numerous bright moons that were illuminating the world!

Unlike when she fought Yu Jiuhui just now, Ying Luan had clearly revealed her true might at this moment. Supreme phenomena had appeared just from her actions of striding over, and it was like a terrifying and eternal expert was emerging from the annals of time.

"Only a prey like you would be interesting to kill. Unfortunately, your destiny conflict my own, so I can only confine you and allow you to be used by another." As soon as she ascended the sacrificial altar, Ying Luan had spoken immediately with a clear, cold, and indifferent voice that was neither fast nor slow. She seemed as if she was speaking about an extremely ordinary matter.

A wisp of an incomprehensible arc arose on the corners of Chen Xi's mouth. Destiny? Even the great figures of the world are unable to deduce my destiny? But this woman says that my destiny conflicts her? How laughable!

"Chen Xi! Be careful! This woman is a royal amongst the Ancient Shamans, and she possesses holy blood. She definitely possesses inconceivable and supreme divine abilities!" Suddenly, Jia Nan spoke with a solemn expression on his face, and he seemed to have determined something from Ying Luan.

"A descendant of the royals amongst the Ancient Shaman?" Chen Xi's eyes narrowed because merely the fact that she was a royal allowed him to realize how extraordinary she was.

"Hmph! Monk, I never expected that you know even more than I expected! Yes, Ying Luan is from the Holy Moon Royal Clan, and she possesses one of the loftiest royal surnames, the 'Yunlan' Ying Clan! During the last era, even the eternal clans in the Imperial Region are unable to compare with her status." Aruye laughed coldly while his voice carried a wisp of pride.

"The 'Yunlan' Ying Clan…. She's actually a descendent of the supreme overlord of the last era, Holy King Yunlan?" Jia Nan's expression changed slightly while his voice carried a wisp of seriousness.

All of this allowed Chen Xi to realize that Ying Luan's origins were probably much greater than he'd imagined.

However, all of these were secrets of the last era, and they were too insubstantial to Chen Xi and weren't able to make him feel much shock.

"The glory of the past has passed in the end. No matter how formidable Holy King Yunlan was, he was obliterated during the last era." Chen Xi spoke indifferently as he wasn't one to be terrified by an insubstantial rumor.

Many black robed Ancient Shamans berated. "How audacious!"

It was very obvious that Holy Shaman Yunlan's name carried special meaning amongst these Ancient Shamans, and they wouldn't tolerate any disrespect.

Chen Xi's words was a form of extreme disrespect.

"Just because of those words, you'll definitely pay with your life today!" A silver glow erupted from Ying Luan's eyes, and her eyes were icy cold and bone piercing.

Bang!

Her voice hadn't finished resounding when she'd taken a step forward. Her figure was murderous, her imposing aura was fierce and sharp, and seemingly material killing intent transformed into a silver ocean of flowers that smashed down towards Chen Xi.

Her attacked were direct and decisive, and she revealed an oppressive and dignified aura as she attacked. Moreover, her palms actually carried a brilliant moon and starry sky that possessed terrifying might.

Swoosh!

Chen Xi held the Talisman Armament in hand as he went head-on against her attack. As his figure teleported, it was like he was a Roc that was soaring into the sky. He carried the aura of the wind and ocean as he flew through the surroundings, crushing the stars, and displayed boundless might!

It was the Roc Divine Technique!

A wave of world shocking sonic booms resounded, and they blasted Ying Luan's attacks into pieces, causing boundless dazzling light to sweep towards the surroundings.

"Hmm?" Aruye's eyes suddenly narrowed as he recognized the Roc Divine Technique that Chen Xi was utilizing. He recalled that the Roc Daolord had once been trapped beneath the Grand Abyss of Catastrophe and suffered misfortune a very long time ago. However, the Roc Daolord had relied on the innate divine ability he possessed to forcefully escape the Grand Abyss of Catastrophe and return to the Ancient God Domain in the end!

Even though the Roc Daolord was unable to deal with the Dao Restraint Tribulation Energy that covered him and had perished in the end, he'd become the first existence since the ancient times to have escaped the Grand Abyss of Catastrophe.

The thing he'd relied to accomplish this was exactly the Roc Divine Technique!

So, when Aruye recognized to his shock that the technique Chen Xi was utilizing was the Roc Divine Technique, he couldn't avoid feeling slightly surprised and bewildered.

Could it be that this fellow is related to the Roc Daolord?

…

Clang!

After executing this attack, Ying Luan hadn't hesitated to withdraw a silver spear that emanated a sharp glow. Moreover, it revealed the diagram of a brilliant moon that was boundlessly resplendent.

This caused Chen Xi's heart to shake. In an instant, he'd noticed that the spear was extremely extraordinary, and it possessed unfathomable might!

"Since you dared to be disrespectful to my ancestor, then you must atone for it with your life!" The space in the surroundings exploded into pieces as Ying Luan strode through it, and then strands of absolutely sharp light appeared while carrying monstrous killing intent.

In an instant, the spear howled and shook, and it caused even the heavens and the earth to dim down and warp before it.

"He's just a bastard that has perished for an era. His glory has passed for a long time. The world doesn't belong to all of you heretics anymore!" Chen Xi spoke coldly with a calm expression, and he wasn't fearful at all.

"You're courting death!" Ying Luan was furious. The spear in her palm tore through the sky and stabbed ferociously at Chen Xi.

Rumble!

In an instant, the bright silver images of that spear covered the sky. It was like the brilliant moon in the sky had emanated silver light that rained down from above, and they were around 100,000 in number and emanating imposing auras that were terrifying to the extreme.

This attack was truly terrifying. It wasn't something that an ordinary attack could compare to, and it was a supreme ability. It was the embodiment of unparalleled divine might!

Om!

Suddenly, as Chen Xi's Talisman Armament spun, a completely round barrier of the sword appeared around him.

The Profound Heart Sword Technique — Impeccable Style!

However, unlike in the past, the Impeccable Style had grown even more flawless after Chen Xi attained the 4th level of the Sword Emperor Realm. The completely round barrier of the sword was suffused with violet gold energy. Moreover, the sun and moon alternated, a myriad of stars circulated, and numerous talismans markings and laws interweaved together within it to reveal all sorts of grand scenes.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The silver images the spear descended onto the completely round barrier of the sword, and they caused dense sounds of collision to resound like the dense sounds of a drum.

Numerous silver spear images were shattered into powder and vanished without a trace. However, even more were constantly descending. They were dazzling and resplendent. They were like brilliant moons that were descending to the earth while emanating boundless killing intent.

Bang!

In the end, the completely round barrier of the sword started to tremble violently and seemed to be on the verge of breaking into pieces.

Many of the black robed Ancient Shamans revealed cold smiles when they saw this, and they started shouting loudly.

"Good!"

"Kill that kid!"

"This kid could be said to have died a good death by perishing beneath the supreme grand divine ability of the Royal Yunlan Clan, Moon's Glow!"

However, the development of the battle exceeded everyone's expectations.

Even until the end, Chen Xi's barrier of the sword hadn't been destroyed. On the contrary, along with an extremely ear piercing howl of the sword, a shocking silver glow shot out explosively from it, and it caused many to feel a piercing pain in their eyes.

Bang!

In the next moment, the completely round barrier of the light had transformed into an extremely condensed and dazzling silver sword light that suddenly erupted like a Big Bang in the universe.

All of Ying Luan's attacks were crushed and obliterated by this attack!

"Shit! This fellow's defense from before had actually fully swallowed the energy of my attack before releasing it once more!" Ying Luan's pupils constricted. She finally understood that the barrier of the sword wasn't unable to hold on just now, and it was clearly working hard to deal with her attack and swallow the energy within her attacks!

However, her realization was a step too late. The silver sword light didn't just contain Chen Xi's strength, it even contained the strength of her attack from before. At this moment, when they were converged together and assaulted her, the might it possessed was simply unimaginable.

Pu!

In an instant, Ying Luan was blasted flying. Blood seeped out from the corners of her mouth while her entire body suddenly started trembling, and she almost fell to the ground.

How could this be possible?

The figures of Aruye and the others stiffened.

What? Shi Yu and the others who were originally worried about Chen Xi were instantly dumbstruck by this scene.

"You dared to brag when you only possess such little ability? No wonder that your clansmen would have been obliterated during the last era."

Ying Luan was undoubtedly formidable to the extreme. However, when she heard such ridicule from Chen Xi, her face fell, and she gritted her teeth as she attacked once more with her strongest ability.

Swoosh!

This time, it was Chen Xi who attacked first. The Talisman Armament soared through the sky as he slashed with it. He revealed an arrogant and imposing aura, and he seemed to be domineering to the extreme.

Kill!

Ying Luan waved the silver speak in her hand, and it carried surging radiance of the moon as it blasted an extremely terrifying attack towards Chen Xi.

However, all of this was unable to obstruct Chen Xi's attack. Every single time he swung the Talisman Armament, he would obliterate Ying Luan's attack, and he simply seemed to be all-powerful.

Bang!

In the end, Ying Luan was unable to withstand him. She was crushed once more, and her entire body was bathed in blood while her pretty face had turned ghastly pale.

How could this be possible!? At this moment, Ying Luan finally felt a trace of terror. She felt that this opponent of hers was too terrifying, and she'd only noticed that his combat strength was much more shocking that she'd imagined after she actually fought him.

Bang!

After a short moment, Ying Luan was defeated. Her entire body flowed incessantly with blood, her hair was disheveled, and her countenance was ghastly pale. She didn't seem dignified and divine at all anymore.

"Looks like you're going to vanish completely from this world just like your ancestor." Amidst his piercingly cold and indifferent voice, Chen Xi was like an imperial sovereign of the sword as he strode towards her, and the Talisman Armament in his palm emanated peerlessly dazzling violet gold light.

He'd decided to end the battle with this attack.

"Bastard! Your companions will definitely die if you dare to kill Ying Luan!" Right at this moment, Aruye's extremely cold voice suddenly resounded.

Chen Xi swiftly turned his head towards Aruye, and he saw that Aruye had suddenly arrived before Kong Youran, Yea Chen, Yu Jiuhui, and Zhao Qingyao who'd been captured just now.

Aruye held a sword in his hand, and he pointed the sword at Kong Youran and the others in an extremely threatening manner!

They really haven't… died. However, Chen Xi felt a sense of relief in his heart when he witnessed this scene. He'd finally confirmed that it was just as he'd guessed. Kong Youran and the others hadn't really died yet!
