Chapter 1674
Someone quietly tugged at their companion's sleeve, their lips moving in a whisper—who doesn't know that Xia Jiuyou, the Holy Maiden of the Nine Netherworlds, is a notorious "Love Gu Demon Immortal"?
Countless brilliant young talents of the time have fallen for the demonic immortal Xia Jiuyou. Some of these geniuses have gone mad for her, while others have lost all their cultivation due to the tribulations of love and demonic possession.
Although Chen Xuan's words were crude, they struck a chord with many people's hidden anxieties.
"You're talking nonsense!" Jin Hu turned around abruptly, his eyes, as big as copper bells, blazing with anger. His knuckles, gripping the Broken Formation Shuttle, turned white. "The Holy Maiden's path is pure and unblemished; how dare you, a mere country bumpkin, slander her!"
The silver dragon behind him also tensed up, the veins on the back of his hand throbbing, and his gaze toward Chen Xuan was like a knife chilled to the bone.
These two were clearly fervent followers of Xia Jiuyou. To have their goddess slandered in front of so many cultivators was more infuriating than death itself.
"Oh?" Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow, watching the golden light surge around the Golden Tiger and the dazzling runes rising on the Breaking Formation Shuttle. "You got anxious after just a few words? Is this what you call admitting defeat without being asked?"
Chen Xuan made a light stroke with his fingertips in front of him, and the three-tiered immortal array in front of him suddenly lit up. The pale blue light screen spread out layer by layer like water ripples that came to life, protecting Lin Yuqiong and the other two in the center.
"Fight if you want, but I advise you—" Chen Xuan's gaze swept over the girl in the black dress who was still standing there, his voice tinged with a hint of mockery, "—you'd better come at me all at once. Otherwise, once I lose my patience, you won't have the chance to join forces again."
"Shameless talk!"
"Kid, this is going too far!!"
Before he could finish speaking, Jin Hu roared and transformed into a golden rainbow, his Breaking Formation Shuttle trailing a long tail of light as it crashed into the first layer of light barrier with a "boom".
The crisp sound of the array patterns shattering, mixed with the humming of the light curtain trembling, exploded before the Chaos Pass, like a drop of ink falling into water that was already turbulent.
"break!"
Jin Hu roared, and the blood-red light in his hand surged, like a condensed blood rainbow, and slammed hard into the light screen of the first immortal-level array.
The moment the shuttle tip touched the light barrier, the originally smooth and lustrous light barrier suddenly caved inward, and fine cracks spread instantly like a spider web.
This seemingly indestructible array barrier was now trembling violently, like thin ice struck by a heavy hammer, as if it were about to shatter completely at any moment.
"Oh?" On the boulder of Chaos Pass, Chen Xuan stroked the arm of the Purple Heaven Breaking Bow with his fingertips, raising an eyebrow slightly. "The Immortal-grade Array Breaking Shuttle is indeed quite something. It can shake the Immortal-grade array that I set up myself with just a magic weapon. The Nine Nether Holy Land's resources do not disappoint."
There was not a trace of nervousness in Chen Xuan's tone; on the contrary, he seemed to be watching an interesting show, without even lifting his eyelids.
Jin Hu could not tolerate such disrespect.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he pushed his spiritual power to its limit. The blood-red light on the array-breaking shuttle almost solidified into a tangible form, and he delivered another powerful smash.
This time, before the ripples on the light screen could subside, a crisp "crack" rang out, scattering like a shattered mirror.
The first layer of the Immortal Rank Formation broke in three breaths.
"It's broken! Fellow Daoists, this great formation was just a decoy!" The crowd of cultivators watching from the back immediately erupted in commotion.
A disciple from the Holy City, quick-witted and agile, immediately drew his longsword and transformed into a streak of light, rushing out: "Fellow Daoists of the Nine Nether Holy Land, do not panic, we are here to help!"
"This little demon is just bluffing. There's no need for you all to take action. Watch me suppress it myself!"
Before the words were even finished, hundreds of figures rushed towards the second light barrier like bees, with the booming sounds of magical treasures colliding echoing one after another.
Their plan was shrewd—in this way, they could both gain favor with the Nine Netherworld Holy Land and get a share of the spoils after the formation was broken. Why not?
"Not good!" Lin Yuqiong's expression changed drastically, and she grabbed her younger sister Lin Yuyao's wrist and rushed towards the last layer of light.
The two men knew that Chen Xuan had never actually made a move; the formation was clearly feigning weakness. But now, the crowd was in a frenzy, and it was something the two of them couldn't stop.
