"This, this, this is a Dharma manifestation?"
Ximen Ao Xue's eyes were vacant, his mouth agape, wide enough to swallow an egg!
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! How can it be! Dharma manifestations are divine skills that only those in the Dao Integration realm can possess. How can this unknown slut be a Dao Integration expert!"
Even at this moment, Ximen Ao Xue still believed Chen Xiao was a woman.
On the other side, Qing Lian Dao Shou, amidst shock and pleasant surprise, was also filled with confusion.
How could this person possess a Dharma manifestation? How could he be a great cultivator in the Dao Integration realm?
No, this isn't a Dharma manifestation, it's...
Suddenly, Qing Lian Dao Shou seemed to recognize something.
Behind them, Huo Lian's chirping voice could be heard.
"Qing Lian Dao Shou, I never expected your disciple to be a great cultivator in the Dao Integration realm... Huh? That's not right, Qing Lian Dao Shou, you haven't even entered the Void Transformation realm, so how can your disciple be a great cultivator in the Dao Integration realm?"
"Dao Shou, who, who exactly is she..."
Even the rough and careless Huo Lian Dao Gu had noticed something was amiss. This meant that everyone else had already realized it.
Jiao Lian said faintly, "Huo Lian, don't make things difficult for Dao Shou. Besides, this person might not necessarily be a great cultivator in the Dao Integration realm!"
"How can she not be? Isn't it obvious!"
Huo Lian spoke with certainty, "The Dao Integration realm is the realm of unity between man and nature, where one wields the power of heaven and earth to manifest a Dharma form. Since this Jin Lian can summon a Dharma manifestation, what else could she be but a great cultivator in the Dao Integration realm?"
After speaking, Huo Lian glanced at Jiao Lian, her gaze seeming to say, "See how learned I am now? I'm not inferior to you!"
"Heh heh, Jiao Lian is untalented, but as far as I know, the Dharma manifestation summoned by Jin Lian is one of the Seven Gods worshipped by the demon race. Qing Lian Dao Shou, what exactly is this Jin Lian's identity? I think she's very suspicious!"
Jiao Lian said in a sarcastic tone.
This Jiao Lian was clearly targeting Qing Lian, and Qing Lian was not one to be trifled with. She said coldly, "Jiao Lian, I know you've always coveted my position as Dao Shou, but with a great enemy before us, do you think this is the time to say such things?"
Huo Lian snorted angrily, "Hmph, Jiao Lian, you little brat, if you dare to say another word of nonsense, I'll rip your mouth open!"
It was evident that the internal harmony within the Tian Lian Sect was not perfect, and Huo Lian Dao Gu was a firm supporter of Qing Lian Dao Shou.
Chen Xiao faced Ximen Ao Xue with no pressure, not needing to fight at full strength, and even diverting some of his attention to these Dao Gu.
The internal conflict between the two Dao Gu immediately made him curious, "As expected, where there are people, there is a martial world, especially where there are many women!"
With the Seven Gods Dharma manifestation appearing, the five fierce ghosts all trembled in fear, their aura clearly weakened by a large margin.
"You bunch of trash, go up, kill him for me!"
Ximen Ao Xue roared in exasperation. The cowardly appearance of the five ghosts was driving him to the brink of madness.
Those five fierce ghosts were, after all, mindless beings. Upon hearing their master's command, they immediately lunged towards the Seven Gods Dharma manifestation.
Their hundred-meter height was insignificant compared to the Seven Gods Dharma manifestation; they couldn't even reach its knees!
"Buzz..."
The Seven Gods Dharma manifestation merely waved its hand casually, and a stream of fire poured down from its palm, drenching the five fierce ghosts.
This was the God of Fire among the Seven Gods!
Doused by the God of Fire's flames, the five fierce ghosts let out piercing wails and screams.
Amidst their cries, they transformed into a mass of souls, returning to heaven and earth, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Pfft..."
Ximen Ao Xue spat out a mouthful of blood.
The dissipation of the five ghosts was a massive blow to him!
If the shattering of his Blood Drinking Mad Blade had cost him a century of cultivation, the dissipation of the five ghosts had caused a tangible regression in his cultivation realm.
Originally, he had reached the Great Perfection of the Void Transformation realm, just one step away from the Grand Completion of the Void Transformation realm.
Now, his cultivation realm had regressed to the early stage of the Void Transformation realm. Most importantly, his true combat power was even less than when he first entered the Void Transformation realm.
"Damn it..."
Ximen Ao Xue clenched his fists, making cracking sounds, and glared fiercely at Chen Xiao, muttering incessantly, "I will kill you, I will definitely kill you..."
However, these were words he could only utter.
When he was at his strongest, Chen Xiao could defeat him effortlessly. What more now?
"It's over."
Chen Xiao spoke.
At this point, his identity could no longer be hidden, so there was no need to continue pretending.
What 'Jin Lian,' go to hell!
"You're a man?"
Ximen Ao Xue was stunned. Only now did he realize he had been tricked.
"He's actually a man!"
Huo Lian, finally catching up, also shouted.
"Hmph, Qing Lian, you're lucky today. My Tian Xue Sect will spare you this time. Next time, you won't be so fortunate. We retreat!"
Ximen Ao Xue naively believed he could still retreat!
Chen Xiao smiled sinisterly, "There won't be a next time."
"What do you mean?"
Ximen Ao Xue was startled. "Brat, although I don't know who you are? But a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. I, the dignified Void Transformation realm expert, am genuine. It won't be that easy for you to kill me!"
"You don't need to pretend to be in the Dao Integration realm in front of me. Throughout the entire Immortal Concealment Realm, there are only a few great powers in the Dao Integration realm, and I can be sure you are not one of them. Today, I admit defeat for being inferior, but next time, I will definitely refine your vital energy..."
"Boring."
Chen Xiao rolled his eyes impatiently and flicked his finger.
A stream of light shot into Ximen Ao Xue's body. Before he could react, his vital energy detonated, and both his physical body and Nascent Soul were blown to pieces.
Sect Master of Tian Xue Sect, Ximen Ao Xue, deceased!
"Run, run quickly!"
Dong Cangtian of Tian Xue Sect finally realized the terror and methods of Chen Xiao, shouted, and unleashed his escape artifact, intending to leave this place of misfortune immediately.
With the Sect Master dead, the entire Tian Xue Sect was in disarray, scattering in all directions.
Chen Xiao glanced up and said faintly, "Fine, I'll be a good person today and help you clear these worries."
Saying that, he patted his Yi Tian Sword, "You are already a mature magical artifact. You should learn to fight on your own! Go!"
The Yi Tian Sword whistled and flew out, first beheading Dong Cangtian, and then followed by a bloody massacre...
Chen Xiao's divine sense covered this area. Not a single person from Tian Xue Sect could escape. With the troubles of Tian Xue Sect resolved, it was time to deal with Tian Lian Sect.
He swaggered up to Qing Lian, placing his large hand over her body. The verdant wood spiritual energy began to repair Qing Lian's body at an incredible speed.
In just a moment, the injuries on Qing Lian's body were healed.
Qing Lian felt all this incredulously and said helplessly, "I never thought you had become so powerful. It seems I underestimated you before!"
Chen Xiao shrugged his shoulders casually, indicating his indifference, "I'm used to it."
"Qing Lian Dao Shou, who exactly is this man? Why does our Tian Lian Sect have a man?"
Huo Lian's straightforward temper flared up again. Although everyone wanted to know the answer to this question, only she had the courage to ask it.
Qing Lian was not angry, as she had already decided to reveal everything.
In the Immortal Concealment Realm, strength was paramount. The power Chen Xiao had just displayed was enough to inspire her awe.
Under these circumstances, she dared not hide Chen Xiao's identity any longer. It wasn't because she feared her disciples would pester her, but because she was worried Chen Xiao might be displeased.
"Actually, he is..."
However, just as Qing Lian Dao Shou was about to announce Chen Xiao's identity, Jiao Lian's eyes suddenly lit up, and she blurted out, "I know who he is!"
All eyes immediately focused on Jiao Lian.
"She used wood spiritual energy to heal Qing Lian Dao Shou just now, so he must be that fellow from the mortal world..."
As she said this, Jiao Lian's eyes widened, and she suddenly covered her mouth.
She wished she could slap herself twice. In front of such a powerful being, she had directly called him a 'fellow.' Wasn't this courting death!
"Immortal Master, this humble one meant no offense, please forgive this Immortal Master!"
Jiao Lian had a glib tongue, being the most eloquent in the entire Tian Lian Sect. However, at this moment, she didn't know what else to say besides apologizing directly.
The main reason was the immense pressure Chen Xiao exerted on her.
And this was even with Chen Xiao having no ill intentions towards her.
Since her identity was exposed, Chen Xiao no longer hid it. He said directly, "That's right, I am the fellow you speak of. However, I have a name, and my name is Chen Xiao. The reason I came out of Tian Lian Sect is because a friend of mine is an old acquaintance of Qing Lian Dao Shou, and she helped me enter the Immortal Concealment Realm."
The disciples of Tian Lian Sect were all struck dumb with fear, their inner shock immeasurable.
They never expected this person to be that fellow from the mortal world, nor did they expect this fellow to be so powerful.
Then what was his purpose in coming to the Immortal Concealment Realm... No need to think, it must be for the God Slaying Sword.
And the great sects in the Immortal Concealment Realm would absolutely not allow him to take the God Slaying Sword away.
This would inevitably lead to a great battle. If he won, it would be fine.
But what if he lost...
If he lost, then how he entered the Immortal Concealment Realm without anyone noticing would become a huge problem.
With the methods of those great sects, it would not be difficult to find the answer to this question.
And when that happened, Tian Lian Sect would become a traitor to the entire Immortal Concealment Realm, a bunch of turncoats, and would be plunged into eternal damnation!
In just an instant, all the disciples of Tian Lian Sect thought of this problem.
They also realized that the situation Tian Lian Sect was about to face was far more complicated than when they had just faced Tian Xue Sect...
