Chapter 423 You hurt her? The berserk old eunuch!
Chen Fan stood in mid-air, the autumn wind whipping up the hem of his gray-blue clothes.
Without warning, without any prelude, he didn't even draw his sword.
However, both Qinglian Daoist and Zhou Shan took a half step back at the same time.
It was an instinctive alertness—as if what stood before them was not a cultivator in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm, but a peerless, deadly sword that had already been drawn and was now fully exposed.
"Old eunuch..." Daoist Qinglian narrowed his eyes, holding the Qinglian Sword horizontally in front of him, "You've broken through."
It's not a question, it's a statement.
Chen Fan did not answer. He simply raised his hand slowly, and a dusty gray longsword appeared from the void. It was Eleven, the sword without light, the blade without gleam, just like ordinary iron.
But the moment he gripped the sword, the entire world seemed to sink.
"Today," Chen Fan began, his voice calm as an ancient well, "our family will settle things with you."
Before the words were even finished, the sword was already drawn.
There was no sword energy, no sword light, only a gray-white line.
The line was as thin as a hair, yet it covered a distance of a hundred feet in the instant it appeared, piercing straight into the brow of the Green Lotus Daoist!
Qinglian Daoist's pupils shrank suddenly, and he quickly blocked with his Qinglian Sword!
Clang!
The clang of metal against metal resounded through the sky. Daoist Qinglian retreated three steps, each step leaving spiderweb-like cracks in the air. He looked down at the Qinglian Sword, where a faint white mark had appeared on its blade.
"The concept of cause and effect..." Daoist Qinglian's face was grim. "You've actually integrated it into your swordsmanship?"
Chen Fan did not answer, and his figure swayed.
The next instant, he appeared beside Zhou Shan.
It was still a single sword strike, still that same gray-white line. But the angle, timing, and trajectory of this strike were completely different from the previous one, as if it had been predetermined and was unavoidable.
Zhou Shan snorted coldly, placing the bronze seal across his front.
boom!
The gray line collided with the seal, unleashing a piercing shriek. The seal trembled, and Zhou Shan felt a strange force passing through its body—not an impact, not a cut, but… a pull.
That force pulled his spiritual power, consciousness, and even thoughts toward an unpredictable "fruit".
"Cause and effect!" Zhou Shan's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly activated his mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, forcibly severed the invisible thread, and retreated ten feet.
With just two sword strikes, the two Nascent Soul cultivators were forced to retreat again and again.
The entire imperial city was deathly silent.
The common people stared wide-eyed, the cultivators gaped, and even the thousands of disciples of the Qingyun Sect forgot to charge, staring blankly at the gray-blue figure in the air.
One against two, the early Nascent Soul stage overwhelming the Nascent Soul Great Perfection stage and the mid-Nascent Soul stage?
How is that possible?
"Something's not right." Daoist Qinglian stared intently at Chen Fan. "His nascent soul... has a problem."
Zhou Shan also noticed it.
Chen Fan's aura was indeed that of a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stage, but the purity of the spiritual power, the strength of his divine sense, and even his control over the rules contained within that Nascent Soul far surpassed those of an ordinary early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and were even comparable to those in the middle stage.
What's even stranger is that every time he slashes with his sword, it seems to carry a certain "inevitability".
"Having achieved a minor mastery of the concept of cause and effect, with a single sword strike, the cause has been sown, and the effect will surely arrive." Zhou Shan's voice was deep. "Fellow Daoist Qinglian, we can no longer hold back."
The Green Lotus Daoist nodded, his eyes blazing with killing intent.
"Old eunuch, you think you can turn the world upside down just because you've broken through to the Nascent Soul stage?" He suddenly raised his hand, and the Azure Lotus Sword shot into the sky. "Today I'll show you what true Nascent Soul Perfection is all about!"
The sword's cry sounded like a dragon's roar.
The Azure Lotus Sword transformed into a thousand-foot-long sword dragon. This time, the sword dragon was no longer an illusion, but a tangible reality. Each dragon scale was a sword aura, and each sword aura contained the Azure Lotus Daoist's lifelong cultivation.
The sword dragon roared, its mouth opened, spewing out cyan sword energy. Wherever it passed, space distorted and cracked!
At the same time, Zhou Shan also made a move.
He formed a mudra with his hands, and a large bronze seal floated above his head, with phantom images of mountains, rivers, the sun, the moon, and stars appearing on its surface.
That is the "Mountain and River Suppressing Seal," a secret technique passed down in the Wang family. Once it is stamped, it can suppress mountains and rivers and even the sun and moon.
"town!"
Zhou Shan gave a low shout, and the seal crashed down.
The sword dragon and the mountain and river seal, one on the left and one on the right, blocked all of Chen Fan's escape routes.
This attack used 80% of their strength; even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would have to temporarily avoid its edge.
But Chen Fan did not back down.
He didn't even look at the sword dragon and the mountain and river seal.
He simply raised his left hand slowly, palm up, and held the sword in his right hand, tip pointing down.
"Rising Sun"
A blazing white orb of light appeared in his left palm, shining like the sun, and an upward force erupted.
"Deep Yin".
At the tip of the right sword, a dark gray aura flowed, heavy as an abyss, exuding a sinking force.
The two forces appeared simultaneously, yet they merged perfectly within three feet of Chen Fan, transforming into a slowly rotating Tai Chi diagram.
This time, the Tai Chi diagram is no longer an illusion, but a solid reality. The yang half is bright white and rising, while the yin half is dark gray and sinking. The flow of yin and yang seems to be evolving the beginning of the world.
The Stegosaurus and the Mountain and River Seal arrived with a thunderous roar!
Rumble!!!
The deafening roar shook the heavens and the earth, its aftershocks spreading outwards like a tsunami. The imperial city walls collapsed completely, houses within the city crumbled in droves, and the earth cracked open into countless deep ravines.
However, within three feet of Chen Fan, the wind and water were calm.
The Tai Chi symbol slowly rotated, swallowing the front of the sword dragon into the yang half, and the blazing white light rose and decomposed wildly!
The bottom of the Mountain and River Seal is placed in the shadow half, with a heavy, dark gray aura that suppresses and wears it down.
The power of the Sword Dragon has been reduced by 50%, and the power of the Mountain and River Seal has been reduced by 40%.
The residual power was still terrifying, but Chen Fan no longer needed to withstand it head-on.
He swayed, fully activating the concept of cause and effect.
A gray-white aura surged from his body, transforming into countless threads—not an attack, but rather… using the opponent's force against them.
The silk threads, imbued with the remaining power of the sword dragon, were gently drawn in.
The Stegosaurus suddenly changed direction and collided with the Mountain and River Seal!
boom!!!
The second explosion turned the world upside down.
Both Qinglian Daoist and Zhou Shan groaned simultaneously, each taking several steps back, their faces extremely grim.
Their all-out attack was not only easily neutralized by Chen Fan, but they were also countered by him, turning the tables on themselves!
"Rising Sun and Sinking Yin... Karma Slash..." Daoist Qinglian gritted his teeth, "These two techniques are far more powerful in his hands than double!"
Half a month ago, Chen Fan's Ascending Yang and Sinking Yin Technique could only weaken his power by 30%, but now it can weaken it by 50%! What's even more terrifying is that, with the addition of the Karma Slash, he is actually finding it difficult to withstand!
"This scoundrel... must not be allowed to live!"
Qinglian Daoist and Zhou Shan exchanged a glance, both seeing the resolute determination in each other's eyes.
If we cannot kill Chen Fan today, he will surely become a major threat in the future!
But Chen Fan no longer gave them the chance to join forces.
He moved.
This time, it's not about defense, it's about offense.
Holding his grey-white longsword horizontally, Chen Fan took a step forward.
This step seemed to have landed at a pivotal point in cause and effect. His figure blurred for a moment, then became clear again, appearing behind the Azure Lotus Daoist.
The sword is drawn.
It was still that same gray line, but within that line lay the intensity of the rising sun, the weight of the gloom, and the inevitability of cause and effect.
The Green Lotus Taoist felt a chill run down his spine and quickly blocked with his Green Lotus Sword.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The three sword strikes were swift as lightning. Each strike landed on the same spot, each carried a causal pull, slowing down Qinglian Daoist's parry by a fraction.
When the third sword strike landed, the Azure Lotus Sword finally shifted three inches off course.
Just those three inches, the gray-white sword blade grazed the blade, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound on the left shoulder of the Green Lotus Taoist!
Blood splattered.
"Our patriarch is injured!" a Qingyun Sect disciple exclaimed.
