Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation
Chapter 313: One Sword Light Freezing Nineteen Prefectures

The weapon on the Scarlet Flame Chief’s shoulder was a Holy Weapon as well. It astonished everyone. A Demonic Beast carrying a huge weapon was incredibly odd already. Yet, this huge weapon was actually a Holy Weapon.

Desire appeared in everyone’s eyes. Sun Wei smiled coldly, “I want this Holy Weapon. No one is to fight me over this.”

Sun Wei drew his sword, and a sun appeared behind him. When the light from it touched his sword, it reflected a dazzling light. This was the Sun Clan’s inherited Martial Spirit, Setting Sun's Lonely Soul.

“Kill!”

Sun Wei shouted. He did not even wait for the reveal of the results of the Guiyi Marquis and the Scarlet Flame Chief. He simply leaped into the air and joined the fray.

The natural laws created by the two Holy Weapon clashed against each other. The entire space swayed quickly. Everyone felt a strange energy.

By the time this feeling faded, their bodies had unknowingly shifted by a few hundred meters. It had disturbed their formation.

Before Sun Wei, who was in the air, could react, his attack meant for the Scarlet Flame Chief headed for Chu Chaoyun. Fortunately, Chu Chaoyun dodged in advance.

Otherwise, if Chu Chaoyun were caught off guard, he would not be in good shape when this sword strike infused with the inherited Martial Spirit struck him.

Within a short amount of time, after the Holy Weapons clashed, the spatial laws turned chaotic. Fortunately, the area of influence was not large.

If it were true Sages attacking, everyone there might have been moved nine thousand kilometers away. Their survival would have been questionable.

“Keng Qiang!”

The Guiyi Marquis’s Sky Splitting Sword and the Scarlet Flame Chief’s huge weapon seemed as if they had traveled through a boundless space before exchanging blows. There was a loud explosion, and the Guiyi Marquis was bounced back into the air like a cannonball.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The Guiyi Marquis smashed into numerous trees as he flew more than five hundred meters back. Then, he fell heavily to the ground.

The large, stout Scarlet Flame Chief’s feets shifted backward on the ground, not lifting them to take a step. He transmitted the huge force on the ground, and it started trembling unceasingly.

The Scarlet Flame Chief skidded until he was in front of the mound. Only then did its huge body slowly come to a stop.

Duanmu Qing said, “Don’t clash head-on with it. The Scarlet Flame Chief is a Demonic Beast that relies on strength. Even a Superior Grade Martial King could not withstand its true strength.”

When they heard this, the group was startled at the Guiyi Marquis’ strength. How strong was he to push the Scarlet Flame Chief back by a hundred meters?

“Hu chi!”

The Scarlet Flame Chief stabilized himself. Then its huge feets stomped on the ground. The entire forest began to shake. It leaped through the air, hacking at Mu Yanxue with its swords at lightning speed.

It seems like this Scarlet Flame Chief had astonishing judgment and intelligence as well. It could tell that Duanmu Qing was difficult to deal with, so it did not attack her first. Instead, it chose to attack the weaker Mu Yanxue first.

Mu Yanxue’s expression did not change. She simply leaped into the air and drew her sword. Her speed was faster than the Scarlet Flame Chief. Even though she made her move later, in an instant, she attacked at least a hundred times.

“Dang! Dang! Dang!”

When Mu Yanxue’s sword hacked at the Scarlet Flame Chief, it gave off a metallic ring. Her attacks could not break her opponent’s defense.

“Dragon Seizing Hand!”

With Yan Chixue, the heir of Xihe Province’s Yan Clan, saw the situation, he shouted. He used the inherited Martial Technique of the Yan Clan, making a huge black hand appear from nowhere.

The huge black hand clenched and grabbed the Scarlet Flame Chief’s huge body tightly, not allowing it to move.

Mu Yanxue took advantage of this moment. A sword light appeared and pierced at the Scarlet Flame Chief’s right eye.

“Guo! Guo!”

The Scarlet Flame Chief laughed strangely again. It revealed an incredibly sinister smile. Two streams of berserk flame poured out from its scarlet eyes.

The fierce flames burned off most of the oxygen in the surroundings. This made it difficult for everyone to breathe.

Mu Yanxue was caught off guard. She did not expect the Scarlet Flame Chief to make such a move. Her expression suddenly changed as she quickly moved back.

However, the two flames merged, and its speed strangely increased. Soon, it surpassed Mu Yanxue’s speed.

“Ice!”

At a critical moment, Duanmu Qing shouted. She appeared in front of Mu Yanxue, her clothes and white hair fluttering.

A look of pride appeared on Duanmu Qing’s frosty face. There was a trace of Bing Hou’s elegant demeanor. She pushed her right palm forward, and a boundless cold wind blew; the temperature lowered.

The flames the Scarlet Flame Chief shot out instantly froze. Duanmu Qing clenched her hands, and the frozen fire fell to the ground and shattered.

“Many thanks!”

Mu Yanxue expressed her gratitude and took the opportunity to leave quickly, landing on the ground.

The Scarlet Flame Chief roared angrily, it reverberated everywhere, causing the surrounding leaves to fall to the ground. A strong wind blew, and the fallen leaves danced in the air.

“Bang!”

Black veins bulged on the Scarlet Flame Chief’s body; it was trying to pry open the black hand holding it. Yan Chixue had a grave expression as he held on bitterly.

However, when the Scarlet Flame Chief shouted, his bones made exploding sounds. Its body had grown larger. Its shoulders trembled and forced the black hand open in a moment.

Yan Chixue immediately vomited a mouthful of blood; he was frighteningly pale. He quickly ate a Medicinal Pill and retreated to the back.

“Guo! Guo!:

The Scarlet Flame Chief, struggling free of its constraints, was like a wild stallion throwing off the reins. Its feet moved on the ground quickly; every step it took caused a mild tremor.

With its earlier strength, the Scarlet Flame Chief was able to send the Guiyi Marquis flying with one sword strike. Now that its strength had increased, probably no one could block its attack.

With a thought from Duanmu Qing, she exhibited the state of ice. Suddenly, snowflakes fell from the sky.

Ice walls rose up from the ground, blocking the Scarlet Flame Chief. This bought the others time to create opportunities to attack.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The Scarlet Flame Chief’s huge body was like a small mountain. The thick ice wall, previously able to simultaneously block Xiao Chen’s and Sun Wei’s attack, was like a dead branch on a tree in front of the Scarlet Flame Chief charge; it shattered into tiny shards.

The snowfall grew even more intense. The soft snowflakes had already become the size of goose feathers. A thick layer of snow covered the forest ground. It was like winter had arrived.

When Duanmu Qing exhibited her state of ice to its limits, boundless wind and snow gathered. Ice walls stronger than before rose from the ground.

The Scarlet Flame Chief’s unstoppable charge final halted. When its huge body smashed into the large ice wall, it bounced back with a bang.

However, before the group could relax, the Scarlet Flame Chief sent out a sword strike as it flew back. It chopped the ice wall in half. However, Duanmu Qing had already accomplished her purpose; she had succeeded in delaying the Scarlet Flame Chief.

“Astral Swordplay, Eternal Light!”

Ji Changkong shouted, and the entire forest turned pitch dark. Countless stars appeared above them, a star that represented him in the boundless river of stars suddenly shone brightly.

A resplendent light descended, falling through the nine heavens. The instant the light landed, Ji Changkong’s right hand pointed his sword. The light immediately elongated into a sword light.

The moment he revealed the sword light, the stars in the sky dimmed. In the presence of this Eternal Light, no other light sources dared shine, breaking their radiance.

The sword light illuminated the nine heavens; the stars dimmed. Only this sword’s light existed. This was the Ji Clan inherited Sword Technique, the Astral Swordplay.

One year ago, Xiao Chen was stunned when he saw Ji Changkong execute this move. This time, Xiao Chen saw something even deeper.

With Ji Changkong’s Morning Star Martial Spirit as its base, he aroused the mystery of the Morning Star and used this power to execute an outstanding Sword Technique.

The Ji Clan senior who created this Sword Technique had to be a genius. The scene was massive; it encompassed the entire universe.

In Xiao Chen’s opinion, although this Sword Technique had a startling might, it was not necessarily complete. The might of the universe should not be limited to this.

“Boom!”

As Xiao Chen thought, the pillar-like sword light struck the Scarlet Flame Chief’s chest. Blood horrifically gushed from its chest; its black blood poured out like a fountain.

Everyone rejoiced in their hearts; they had finally injured the Scarlet Flame Chief. They saw a hope of victory.

“Ice Break!”

Duanmu Qing took advantage of this opportunity and shouted. All the snow in the air gathered together. After a while, it turned into a huge ice bird. The ice bird spread its wings and cried. It was very vivid and lifelike as it flew at the Scarlet Flame Chief with a cold wind.

The baptism of the Eternal Light caused the Scarlet Flame Chief significant injuries. Its originally swift body started to slow.

A glint flashed in Xiao Chen’s eyes as he watched carefully. He realized that was not the case. It was not Ji Changkong’s sword light that slowed the Scarlet Flame Chief.

Instead, it was the result of Duanmu Qing’s state of ice. Initially, there was not much impact. However, as time passed, its effects piled up. This was especially so after the Scarlet Flame Chief suffered an injury; the effects had become obvious.

Xiao Chen saw the four woman following Duanmu Qing all standing far away, each in a corner. There were formations of ice under their feet.

They combined all sorts of mysterious secret techniques. Energy poured continuously onto Duanmu Qing. This allowed the power of her state of ice to rise to a horrifying level.

Furthermore, Duanmu Qing’s control of this state had reached the realm of controlling it freely. She focused all the pressure on the Scarlet Flame Chief.

The others did not feel any pressure from her state at all. If it were not for Xiao Chen’s deep comprehension towards states, it would be difficult for him to see through the mysteries behind this.

The Scarlet Flame Chief was very intelligent. It soon realized the mysteries within it. It roared angrily, and a fierce flame raged in its eyes.

“Boom!”

The Scarlet Flame Chief swung its huge sword, and it lit up with a blazing flame. The fire was bright and had some black flames circling it. The Scarlet Flame Chief’s fire showed signs of turning into demonic flames.

The Scarlet Flame Chief did its best to leap forward. He changed his grip to a two-handed grip, and the flames shot out. The huge ice bird shattered into countless shards of ice.

The instant the ice bird shattered, the Scarlet Flame Chief stuck its sword into the ground. Scarlet flames rose in an area ten meters around it, giving off black smoke.

Xiao Chen stood in the distance as he saw all this. He muttered to himself, “The flames blocked Duanmu Qing’s state of ice. No, wait…they did not block it; they burned it away.”
