Chapter Eighty: The Power of the Sword Symbol

  "This Heaven Covering Hand Imprint is precisely Ling Tian's full-powered strike!"

  He twice raided Xia Chen without success, the second time even being directly startled back. As a disciple of the first great gate school of Da Liang country, how could he save face? This time taking advantage of the gap to attack, he went all out!

  Xia Chen only felt the terrifying pressure coming at him, even lifting his head was somewhat laborious. This Heavenly Seal Handprint, in terms of power, was even stronger than that Shattered Heart Sword by a few degrees.

  His face changed, and he was about to quickly retreat backwards, when his eyes suddenly narrowed, and that ruthless killing intent came from behind him again.

  In the corner of his eye, a fierce sword light was rapidly approaching.

  Shuixin Sword! Zhan Tingting shouted sternly, her eyes filled with an unprecedented intensity of murderous intent.

  The two major sects' post-heaven seventh-level disciples join forces to attack! The two major killing moves are unleashed simultaneously! Even a post-heaven ninth-level cultivator would need to dodge their attacks! Anyone below the post-heaven seventh level can be instantly killed!

  Xia Chen let out a furious roar, his Split Heaven Blade's edge suddenly rising to its peak, his entire body becoming dazzlingly bright as he transformed into an enormous spiral blade, charging straight at the Covering Heaven Hand Imprint.

  At the same time, his hands suddenly shot out several dark green pellets, flying towards Xuan Tingting.

  "Exploding Yuan Qi Pellet!" The crowd involuntarily shouted and retreated in unison!

  Boom!

  The Gaitian Handprint and the Lie Tian Fengmang collided fiercely, two stocks of strong and absolute power surged, the air burst forth, and in an instant, Xia Chen and Ling Luotian were both blown away.

  Ling Luo crashed directly into a pillar, making a dull thud, his face deathly pale. Xia Chen's face turned even whiter, and as soon as he landed on the ground, he took out two large jade pills and stuffed them into his mouth.

  "Be careful, Shijie!" Lin Mengru and others couldn't intervene, standing far away, shouting in unison with alarm!

  Zhan Tingting's face was cold as frost, but she didn't show any signs of panic. The Shattered Heart Sword suddenly trembled and turned into a piece of sword light like mist, accurately cutting through several Exploding Yuan Qi Pills.

  A strange scene took place.

  As the sword light flashed, several explosive yuanqi pills only made a faint hissing sound, and then turned into a pile of powder, falling down with a rustling sound, and disappeared without a trace.

  Everyone's eyes were wide with shock and they couldn't believe what they were seeing.

  Xia Chen was using his internal energy to dissolve the medicinal properties and treat his injuries, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

  This was his first time seeing someone break through the Exploding Yuan Qi Pill with external force. The Shattered Heart Sword was simply too formidable.

  However, she was blocked by a burst of yuanqi dan and Xuan Tingting also fell to the ground, unable to pursue Xia Chen again.

  Xia Chen took a deep breath, pulled his feet up and sprinted frantically towards the stairs! Even if he had reached the sixth peak of the Later Heaven, he was no match for the combined forces of everyone else, so it was better to flee for his life!

  "Want to leave?" Ling Luo Tian's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he suddenly pulled out a yellow paper the size of a palm from his pocket. On the yellow paper was engraved a small black sword that seemed to be alive.

  Sword oath! Everyone was shocked.

  Jianfu is also a pseudo-treasured sword, but in terms of attack power, it far surpasses other talismans.

  "Go!" Ling Luo Tian's hand shook, his true energy surged, and the sword symbol flashed violently. In an instant, a small black sword appeared out of thin air, swiftly and mercilessly slashing towards Xia Chen. Its speed was so fast that everyone felt their eyes blur, and they couldn't see clearly.

  Xia Chen felt a chill run down his spine, an intense sense of crisis rising to the top of his head, and he couldn't help but be shocked and pale. He had wanted to turn around and take a closer look, but the sharp edge had already enveloped his entire body, knowing it was too late, gritting his teeth tightly, he rotated the Great Golden Body to its extreme limit.

  Clang! The black sword hacked heavily at his back, instantly producing a lingering, mournful sound.

  As if time had stood still, all that could be seen was the black sword's cold light flashing.

  Xia Chen involuntarily flew up towards the stairs, and for a moment, his mind went blank, his entire body suddenly feeling an immense pain as if being torn apart alive. Fresh blood gushed out of his mouth.

  The black sword was not only razor-sharp, but its power was also incredibly great. With one slash, the sword body deeply embedded itself into Xia Chen's back, and it continued to tremble non-stop, as if it wanted to cut Xia Chen in half at the waist.

  The incredibly hard bear skin undershirt shrunk rapidly, instantly shrinking from Xia Chen's entire body to a thick piece of cloth on his back, using all its toughness to resist the terrifying power of the sword.

  A shrill sound came clearly, under the sword's edge, the bear skin inner garment was constantly cracking, and the powerful cutting force was pouring into Xia Chen's body like a tide. If it weren't for the Diamond Body being extremely strong, this one cut would have been enough to break all of Xia Chen's bones.

  With a loud crash, Xia Chen heavily fell onto the stone steps, causing several cracks to appear on the hard surface. His body emitted a clear explosive sound. At this moment, the bear skin inner garment was completely torn apart by the sword's edge, and the golden body emitted a faint, jade-like light that firmly blocked the unstoppable sword!

  A deep blood line appeared on Xia Chen's back, only a hair's breadth away, and Fu Jian could have cut him in two with his sword.

  At this moment, the body of the black symbol sword suddenly became thick and swollen, as if a watercolor painting had been soaked in water, and then quickly became dim and disappeared into the air.

  The power of the sword is time-limited, and once the time is up, it will immediately dissipate.

  Xia Chen's mouth was constantly spewing out fresh blood, but he still gritted his teeth and struggled to get up. His back was in severe pain, as if it was being burned by fire. He took out a large handful of high-grade healing medicine from his bosom and stuffed it into his mouth. For a moment, there was a feeling of surviving a disaster.

  If it weren't for the bear skin underwear and the double-layered steel armor, I would have definitely died today.

  Everyone was shocked and stunned, the full force of the Hard Sword Symbol's blow hadn't even killed him, was this guy still human?

  "Impossible! This can't be! He must have worn some protective armor, damn it, I should have cut his throat instead!" Ling Luo Tian bellowed, his face revealing an incredulous and ferocious expression.

  The small black sword on the talisman in his hand suddenly faded a lot.

  "Kill him! This man is too strong, if he doesn't die, he will be our greatest threat! Take advantage of his serious injury, let's kill him together!" Xuan Tingting suddenly shouted coldly.

  "Not bad, unexpectedly even the sword symbol couldn't kill him, this person absolutely cannot be left!" The man in green clothes was also frightened and pale, with a ruthless face he fiercely said.

  "Bastard, you actually made me lose a Sword Symbol's power! I'll chop you into pieces!" Ling Luo Tian was furious and chased after Xia Chen with large strides.

  Zhan Tingting and the green-clothed man sped up without slowing down, chasing after them together.

  "Qin brother, let's go up too and kill this man together with them. This man must be the monk who killed my son. I want him to die in extreme agony!" Qian Lit said viciously and followed suit.

  Qin An took a big step back without hesitation. He also recognized Xia Chen as the monk with the hooded cloak, who although not the enemy of everyone, had bought an Ice Symbol at the trading fair! If he was forced to take it out, he might just have to pull in a few scapegoats on the road, and he himself couldn't afford to get involved in this mess.

  Xia Fengmen and E Langbang saw an opportunity to take advantage of the situation, immediately becoming fiercely aggressive, wanting to chop Xia Chen into pieces.

  Xia Chen took a deep breath, standing quietly as the crowd approached, his eyes burning with a fierce flame. Suddenly, he patted himself on the back, and in an instant, two talismans appeared in his hands.

  The left hand's talisman was engraved with a flame-like pattern, as if it were burning fiercely - the Fierce Fire Talisman! The right hand's talisman had an icy appearance, resembling a glacier - the Frosty Ice Talisman!

  Everyone gasped in unison, their footsteps coming to an abrupt halt as they stared at Xia Chen, their faces filled with shock.

  "Die for me!" Xia Chen said word by word, his true energy surging, the Fire Seal and Ice Seal simultaneously flashing with a piercing light.

  "Quick retreat!" Ling Luo Tian, Zhan Ting Ting and the green-clothed man shouted in unison, each shooting backward in three different directions.

  Boom! The fierce fire talisman instantly turned into a sharp fireball, flying out of Xia Chen's hand. The ice talisman flashed, and a stream of icy air shot out from the symbol paper, intertwining with each other and bursting out. The extreme temperatures met, instantly producing an incredibly violent explosion.

  A visible explosion wave transmitted downwards at a terrifying speed, directly hitting Qian Li's body. This post-heavenly seven-layered expert didn't even let out a groan, instantly turning into a pile of minced meat, and then vaporized, completely evaporating from the face of the earth.

  The air wave didn't stop at all, as if an invisible monster, crushing everything in its path, turning dozens of people from the Hungry Wolf Sect and the Evil Wind Gate who were chasing after it into bloody flesh fragments on the stairs.

  The explosion wave that had been going downhill all the way slammed heavily into a stone pillar that several people could wrap their arms around, and only then did it come to a stop.

  Crack... crack... A fist-sized crack suddenly appeared on the stone pillar, extending from the bottom up, and then branched out in all directions, covering the entire surface of the pillar in an instant.

  After a brief pause, the entire pillar suddenly collapsed and shattered into countless fragments, scattering them into the rich waters.

  Ling Luo Tian, Zhan Ting Ting and the man in green clothes managed to avoid the explosion just in time, but the power generated by the two talismans colliding was too strong, producing a spatial vibration that spread instantly, like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, striking all three of them.

  Pffft!

  Three people simultaneously spurted blood in mid-air, fell to the ground in a sorry state, and hastily pulled out handfuls of medicinal pellets to stuff into their mouths.

  He threw out two symbols, and Xia Chen didn't stop at all. While operating the breath to adjust his injuries, he came to the upper part of the stairs.

  With the terrifying power of the Flame Emblem and the Ice Emblem, even if they didn't completely annihilate everyone, there would be heavy casualties, and for a while, no one would be able to catch up. This was the perfect opportunity to plunder the treasure.

  Only a magnificent grand hall appeared in front of me. At the entrance, a shining and flashing diagram of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams appeared again!

  "This is the main hall of my cave mansion, with the method of opening the opposite passage." Leng Yunzi's voice came from the jade slip.

  Xia Chen pointed out like the wind, connected points fell down, the Bagua diagram flashed and quickly split to both sides.

  Xia Chen flashed in and looked around, getting extremely annoyed. The main gate didn't even have a lock or switch inside the palace. Once it was opened, there was no way to close it.

  This old guy, didn't he even close his door when sleeping? Xia Chen hated him so much that his teeth itched.

  "Lie Yunzi's voice said: 'The eighth room on the west side, the door seal can be broken with true energy, inside there is the treasure pill refined by me and the soul of a sealed demon beast.'"

  Xia Chen's feet touched down lightly, and his body floated up, already arriving at the door of the eighth room on the west side of the main palace.
