Chapter 1593 Dao Sword
Chen Xuan couldn't dodge in time and was hit by the blade energy.
A huge wound appeared on his back, and rolling malevolent energy invaded his body through the wound.
No matter how he circulated his spiritual energy, he couldn't resist it.
With no other choice, he quickly mobilized the power of the World Tree to resist, which barely suppressed the spread of the injury.
"So painful!"
Chen Xuan grimaced in pain.
In the past, such an injury would have healed long ago, but now the recovery was slow, indicating the power of this Peerless Heavenly Demon.
"I can't be attacked easily, or it will be very troublesome," Chen Xuan reminded himself.
The Peerless Heavenly Demon attacked Chen Xuan, but Chen Xuan's divine sense had already probed outwards, and this time he was not injured. However, even the most experienced walker by the river can get their shoes wet. In the next wave of attacks, Chen Xuan's arm was injured.
Fortunately, however, he was already approaching the agreed-upon mountain range.
Halfway up the mountain.
The disheveled Daoist looked around: "It's past the agreed time, why isn't Chen Xuan here yet? Could he be standing me up? If I enter the Bronze Gate alone and encounter danger, there will be no one to take the blame for me... bah, to help me..."
His face was filled with impatience.
Suddenly, his expression changed, and he looked sharply towards the eastern sky. He saw that the eastern sky was covered by dark clouds, filled with dead energy, and possessed a sense of danger that made his heart palpitate. "What on earth is that?"
Just then, a figure suddenly flew from the east, heading towards them and shouting, "Disheveled Daoist!"
This person was naturally Chen Xuan.
"Don't come over!!"
Upon seeing Chen Xuan, the disheveled Daoist's expression was initially quite good, but when he saw the Peerless Heavenly Demon chasing Chen Xuan from behind, his face instantly turned extremely grim.
However, Chen Xuan naturally paid no attention to the disheveled Daoist. "Disheveled Daoist, quickly think of a way to deal with this Peerless Heavenly Demon!"
The disheveled Daoist was almost in tears. "Kid, what trouble could you not get into, why did you provoke this Peerless Heavenly Demon?"
"How was I supposed to know it was a Peerless Heavenly Demon? I'm also a victim. Hurry up and find a solution!" Chen Xuan said urgently.
"I... I'm going to be killed by you!"
The disheveled Daoist had tricked people his whole life, but unexpectedly, he was repeatedly tricked by Chen Xuan. He felt that Chen Xuan was his nemesis for this lifetime.
"I can only try. You retreat first!" the disheveled Daoist shouted.
"Okay!"
Chen Xuan moved his body and appeared a hundred zhang away.
The Peerless Heavenly Demon seemed to have spotted Chen Xuan and immediately charged towards him.
Meanwhile, the disheveled Daoist took out a golden short sword. This short sword was only a foot long and was covered with runes, exuding a divine aura. It was clearly not an ordinary item.
"What is this thing?"
Seeing the short sword, Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes.
He always felt that this short sword was extraordinary.
The World Tree said, "I didn't expect it to be the Dao Sword! Perhaps there is hope now!"
"Dao Sword? Could it be the Dao Sword wielded by the Daoist Ancestor for passing on teachings, receiving students, and resolving doubts?" Chen Xuan asked in surprise.
"Indeed!"
"Good heavens, this disheveled Daoist actually has such a good item," Chen Xuan was amazed.
The Daoist Ancestor was a god-like existence, the ancestor of Daoist culture. Although the Dao Sword he wielded was not an ultimate treasure, it possessed supreme divine charm and was a great nemesis to the Peerless Heavenly Demon.
This time, Chen Xuan became even more curious about the disheveled Daoist.
The disheveled Daoist chanted incessantly, as if reciting a Daoist mantra. However, Chen Xuan was too far away to hear clearly.
However, after reciting the Daoist mantra, the Dao Sword trembled and emitted a circle of golden divine aura, sweeping in all directions.
The Peerless Heavenly Demon seemed to sense it and, while charging towards Chen Xuan, suddenly stopped.
It looked sharply at the disheveled Daoist, its sinister eyes fixed on him with a hint of fear.
The next moment!
The Peerless Heavenly Demon suddenly turned and fled, as if encountering something it greatly feared.
"Trying to escape? Can you escape?" the disheveled Daoist shouted coldly, his entire aura undergoing a massive transformation.
At this moment, the disheveled Daoist was no longer the sordid, cunning, and treacherous person he usually appeared to be, but rather like a solemn and majestic Daoist master.
This moment made Chen Xuan doubt whether the disheveled Daoist was putting on an act to conceal his true identity.
"Go!"
The golden long sword in the disheveled Daoist's hand pierced through the air, transforming into a golden thread that instantly pierced the Peerless Heavenly Demon!
Boom boom boom!
Loud explosions erupted from the Peerless Heavenly Demon, and a shrill cry echoed through the sky. The Peerless Heavenly Demon was blown apart, tattered and torn, bleeding profusely.
"Truly powerful."
Chen Xuan's mouth fell open.
The Peerless Heavenly Demon, which had rendered him helpless, was so easily subdued by the disheveled Daoist.
But then, the disheveled Daoist transmitted a message: "Hurry, leave! If we don't leave now, we won't be able to."
"What do you mean?"
"The Gu family is here. Leave the rest to the Gu family."
Chen Xuan sensed from afar several figures with powerful auras speeding towards them.
With the emergence of the Peerless Heavenly Demon and the deaths of so many Gu family disciples, the Gu family experts were bound to be alerted. If the Gu family experts arrived, they might be in danger.
"Alright!"
Chen Xuan nodded immediately and left with the disheveled Daoist.
From a distance, he looked back at the Peerless Heavenly Demon. He saw that the body of the Peerless Heavenly Demon, resembling a Japanese general, had been blown to pieces, and a hideous, massive black mist-like form emerged from it...
"Stop looking. A Peerless Heavenly Demon that has lost its physical body will have its strength greatly reduced. With the Gu family's resources, although it will be difficult, as one of the three great families connecting the cultivation world with the mortal world, they naturally have experts guarding them. You don't need to worry," the disheveled Daoist said earnestly.
Chen Xuan looked at the disheveled Daoist, speechless for a long time, feeling that the disheveled Daoist was rather unfamiliar.
"Kid, you owe me a life this time. When we enter the Bronze Gate later, if we find any treasures, you must let me take them first." The disheveled Daoist had a lewd expression.
Chen Xuan thought to himself that this was the disheveled Daoist he knew; what he had just witnessed must have been an illusion.
"Kid, you're not going to agree to this, are you? That's a Dao Sword. I went through great hardship to obtain it," the disheveled Daoist showed a pained expression.
"What's a Dao Sword to you? Don't be modest," Chen Xuan laughed heartily.
"You say it so easily. I dug up an ancient tomb of the Daoist sect to find it. You don't know how many years the Daoist sect chased me for it..." the disheveled Daoist said with a displeased look.
Chen Xuan was stunned, seemingly understanding the origin of the Dao Sword. "You're not a Daoist? How did you dig up a Daoist ancient tomb? Aren't you afraid of heavenly retribution?"
The disheveled Daoist smiled awkwardly. "Haha, that's nothing. Let's not talk about that. We're about to reach the Bronze Gate. Let's discuss how to deal with the guards."
As they spoke, the two arrived at the cave where the Bronze Gate was located.
After the previous incident, the Gu family had discovered the secret here and had set up strict guards.
