Spell Duel

After Chen Wang entered, he swung his sword and slashed! A cultivator's head was severed, blood splattered everywhere, and the headless corpse fell into a pool of blood.

Zhang Hongyuan was startled and immediately activated the Five Elements Escape Talisman in his hand, his figure disappearing into thin air.

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow. "You've got something."

He then quickly extended his Divine Sense.

His Divine Sense covers a very wide area.

He had acted quickly enough, but since the man had something that could save his life, he didn't stop him immediately.

Chen Wang ignored the corpse on the ground and chased after it.

He spread his Divine Sense to search for Zhang Hongyuan's whereabouts.

Zhang Hongyuan concealed his aura as he fled away.

With the help of the Five Elements Escape Talisman, he had already traveled a long way and left the city.

After leaving the city, he did not Sword Flight, but instead sped along the official road.

But soon, a golden light suddenly pierced through the sky.

Zhang Hongyuan was startled.

The next moment, a figure materialized and landed with a thud.

With a sudden boom, countless cracks appeared on the official road.

This young man descended from the sky with such power; he's not human at all! He's practically a humanoid Demon Beast!

Chen Wang's Divine Sense burst forth, transforming into a sharp sword that slashed forward.

Zhang Hongyuan, with his keen senses, realized something was wrong and immediately used his Soul Battle Art.

The two people's Divine Sense clashed in the air, creating ripples invisible to the naked eye.

Even with Chen Wang's powerful Divine Sense, he was momentarily dazed, as was Zhang Hongyuan; both of them experienced a sudden blackout.

Chen Wang was almost invincible when Heart Sword technique, which was swift and concealed. He never expected that Zhang Hongyuan was also such a master. They were kindred spirits! At this moment, the two exchanged a glance.

Zhang Hongyuan once again used the Five Elements Escape Talisman and disappeared, his figure vanishing into thin air.

But this time Chen Wang caught up even faster.

He possessed the Jin Chan Dharma Robe, and after activating it, he caught up with Zhang Hongyuan.

Zhang Hongyuan was utterly shocked; he was even faster than the Five Elements Escape Talisman!

Chen Wang wielded the Green Ox Sword and soared through the air!

Clang clang clang! Zhang Hongyuan controlled a flying sword and fought with Chen Wang.

Just a moment later, Chen Wang suddenly started running, like a ferocious High Antiquity beast that had gone mad.

Zhang Hongyuan was startled by his imposing manner and dared not linger in battle, so he leaped away and fled into the distance.

But when Chen Wang threw a punch, terrifying True Qi surged from hundreds of feet away, like a giant white python roaring in the air!

Zhang Hongyuan was startled and also struck out with a palm. A palm print appeared in the void, crystal clear, like glass.

With a loud clang, a tremor resounded in the void as the glass hand and the white python shattered simultaneously.

This person's combat strength is indeed extraordinary. Not only is he at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, but his cultivation of Law Technique is also very mature, capable of unleashing extremely powerful effects. The only thing he might lack is Law Treasure.

Without saying a word, Chen Wang took out the Immortal Slaughtering Bow.

The moment the large black bow appeared, Zhang Hongyuan's pupils contracted.

"Law Treasure!"

He blurted it out.

He still had a Five Elements Escape Talisman in his hand, which he activated immediately, and his figure disappeared again.

At this moment, Chen Wang drew his bow to its fullest extent, his body radiating Qi and Blood, and a sharp arrow shot through the air.

Zhang Hongyuan had barely appeared when he was pierced through the body by this arrow.

He collapsed into a pool of blood with a thud, dying a violent death.

Chen Wang appeared, collected the corpse, refined the man's soul, and searched his memories.

Zhang Hongyuan was originally a menial servant in a small sect, and was ostracized by his fellow disciples.

There was a junior sister in the sect who looked after him every day to protect him from being bullied by his fellow disciples.

This junior sister was sweet-looking and kind-hearted. Zhang Hongyuan only felt the taste of love, but he did not expect that half a year later, this junior sister would marry a True Disciple in the sect.

Zhang Hongyuan was heartbroken.

It was at this moment that he had his own extraordinary encounter with the relics of a high-level Alchemist.

Instead of refining pills first, he learned the art of poison refining, and eventually succeeded in killing his senior brother. He rose rapidly to prominence within the sect.

After a period of struggle, he found an opportunity to kill all the fellow disciples who had bullied him.

Later, he joined the Dragon Family and became Dragon Family retainer, and his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.

However, there was a dramatic twist to the story: the junior sister Zhang Hongyuan admired was actually in love with her husband, and they had a very good relationship.

Six months after her husband's death, she passed away due to excessive grief and a mishap in her spiritual practice.

Zhang Hongyuan was puzzled by this.

But Chen Wang had a feeling that he could sense some details from his memories.

That junior sister is probably just kind-hearted and has no feelings for him.

This is just wishful thinking on the part of a teenager.

"Those who successfully Foundation Establishment with the protagonist's template are indeed not ordinary people."

After searching Chen Wang's soul, he quickly stabilized his State of Mind and was unaffected by the memories within.

He took out a Communication Magical Artifact from Zhang Hongyuan's body.

Long Jiu Lang had contacted him earlier and was already on his way.

However, Zhang Hongyuan didn't know how many men Long Jiu Lang would bring.

All he knew was that Long Jiu Lang had brought some people with him and they were scattered in various places; they were all working for Jiulang.

According to their assessment of Jiulang, the handsome young man was deep in thought and possessed extraordinary talent.

"He's no ordinary person," Chen Wang thought.

Long Jiu Lang was sitting in a carriage that was flying into the air, with clouds rising below, giving him the air of an immortal.

Soon, the carriage landed on the official road and entered the city.

There was an old man on the carriage. Long Jiu Lang smiled and said, "Mr. Meng, have you found any trace of that person?"

The old man, surnamed Meng, looked like a great scholar. Hearing this, he simply smiled and said, "Jiulang is meticulous. I have already found him. He is in a restaurant, directly opposite the inn where Zhang Hongyuan and the others are staying. He has a high vantage point, which makes it convenient for him to make his move."

Long Jiu Lang smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Old Meng."

The old man was named Meng Tianxing, and he was a Golden Core Stage cultivator.

He wasn't a retainer of the Dragon Family, but he had some connection with Long Jiu Lang.

Meng Tianxing somewhat curious, and then said, "Should I capture this person for Jiulang?"

Long Jiu Lang shook his head. "No need. I sent those four in as bait. After he killed them, his aura was locked on, and he can't escape."

"Now that Old Meng has found him, I will send someone to arrest him."

Meng Tianxing laughed and said, "Afraid of your father?"

He also knew that the Long Family Head had actually sent him here specifically to test Long Jiu Lang.

Long Jiu Lang said with a smile, "Father knows about my friendship with Old Meng. If I don't invite Old Meng, he will think I'm old-fashioned. But if I only ask Old Meng to help, he will think I lack the courage of the Dragon Family. Old Meng, just wait patiently."

Meng Tianxing laughed and said, "You two, father and son, are both so thoughtful."

Long Jiu Lang sighed, "There's nothing I can do. I have eight older brothers, but now there are only seven left. Even so, Father might not choose me."

Meng Tianxing, "Your Dragon Family's Dragon Soul Pill can indeed increase the probability of breaking through to the Golden Core stage. If you pass this trial and take the Dragon Soul Pill, you will probably be able to condense your Golden Core."

Meng Jiulang smiled wryly and said, "Old Meng, you think too highly of me. I only had a few opportunities before."

Meng Tianxing smiled but remained silent.

Countless talented individuals are stuck at this step. Even those who have made all the preparations, possessed spiritual treasures for the Golden Core stage, and had the opportunity to break through, still fail in countless ways.

However, he had a high opinion of Long Jiu Lang, a young man who was calm and intelligent, and that's why he became his close friend despite the age difference.

Long Jiu Lang sent a message to everyone. "Arrest them!"

Several figures moved and approached the small building where Chen Wang was.

They each possessed some consumable treasures, intending to exhaust Chen Wang's strength and capture Chen Wang.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with the arrangements made by Chen Wang.

He stayed upstairs, and after refining Zhang Hongyuan's memories, he used the Communication Magical Artifact to contact Long Jiu Lang without revealing any flaws.

This small building offers a wide view, and if he activates the Immortal Slaughtering Bow, he can take Long Jiu Lang's life, or at least catch them off guard.

But that bastard Long Jiu Lang brought in a Golden Core Stage cultivator who had already sensed his presence.

Chen Wang extended his Divine Sense and sensed someone approaching when a flying sword pierced through the air, striking through the window! "Something's happened!"

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow.

Without saying a word, he smashed through the window and flew out.

However, the Jin Chan Dharma Robe was not revealed immediately.

Upon landing, Chen Wang scanned the area with his Divine Sense and discovered over thirty Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, each possessing an extremely powerful aura.

In addition, there were also some cultivators in the Qi Refining stage, all of whom carried various Law Artifact.

"Such a big show!"

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow.

He left quickly and happened to run into a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.

This man, named Yang Quan, was a sword cultivator. Upon seeing Chen Wang, he immediately swung his sword to strike.

A thin line shot out from the tip of the sword, slashing through the air at a distance of more than ten feet before reaching Chen Wang's brow in an instant. This man's swordsmanship was extraordinary; he had already cultivated sword intent.

This was also the first time Chen Wang had encountered a sword cultivator who had cultivated sword intent.

Somewhat surprisingly, this was just one cultivator from the Dragon Family.

Indeed, only the Western Continent could have such Lineage!

Chen Wang reacted extremely quickly, dodging to the side and narrowly avoiding the sword strike.

Immediately, he drew his Green Ox Sword, swung it, and unleashed a torrent of Great River Sword Intent, clashing with the man in a single blow.

With a clang, the man's sword intent was profound, and Chen Wang's sword intent was not weak either.

The two clashed, and he was stopped by Chen Wang's Sword Qi.

Chen Wang did not want to get entangled in a fight at this moment. Many cultivators had come and swarmed him, and he was no match for them.

He wandered into the alley, then conjured a Talisman Paper, and his figure vanished into thin air.

"This person is nearby; he can't get far, so we can't chase him!"

Sure enough, Chen Wang appeared nearby the next moment, surrounded by cultivators from the Dragon Family.

Amidst the constant shouts around him, Chen Wang stood in the air, looking down at the battle situation with a clear view.

After Chen Wang activated the Five Elements Escape Talisman for the second time, he disappeared completely.

A carriage slowly approached, and soon someone came to report it.

"Young master, that person has disappeared!"

Long Jiu Lang's expression remained unchanged. "You let him escape?"

The man outside said, "Your subordinate is incompetent; he disappeared after activating the Sky Escape Talisman a second time!"

Long Jiu Lang nodded. "Use the entire city to hunt them down, activate the grand formation, and trap them!"

The man immediately retreated.

They set up a large formation in the city, which formed a special protective shield.

Only the Dragon Family has the power to encompass this great city.

Meng Tianxing paid no attention to what was happening outside. He patted his leg lightly and hummed a little tune, looking quite carefree.

Long Jiu Lang wasn't in a hurry.

There's no need for this Golden Core Stage cultivator to keep using his Divine Sense to search for him.

With so many men and so many arrangements, if he can't capture Cao Cao, he might as well just find a place to run into his death!

However, after dark, reports came in one after another that Cao Cao had not yet been found.

After Chen Wang killed the four people who had entered the city earlier, everyone had a detection Law Artifact to sense Chen Wang's aura, but they still couldn't find him.

The formation has been activated, and the escape technique cannot be used, so there is no way to escape.

Such a large-scale manhunt ended without any results.

Everyone felt heavy-hearted, and Long Jiu Lang also felt ashamed.

Meng Tianxing closed his eyes slightly, looking as if he were asleep. "Did they just escape like that, or... did they hide well enough?"

Long Jiu Lang sighed softly, "Old Meng."

Meng Tianxing slightly opened his eyes, as if he had just woken up, and said with a smile, "What is it, Ninth Brother?"

Long Jiu Lang smiled wryly, "That man has escaped. His subordinates have been incompetent. I beg Old Meng to help search for his whereabouts."

Meng Tianxing laughed and said, "What's so difficult about that?"

Once the Divine Sense of Golden Core Stage is unleashed, it covers an extremely wide area.

Chen Wang has already been marked, so finding him won't be difficult.

But Meng Tianxing's expression changed after searching through the information.

Long Jiu Lang noticed this detail, his heart sinking. He asked, "What happened?" Meng Tianxing was somewhat surprised. "It's gone."

It's understandable that Long Jiu Lang's men couldn't catch him; perhaps this person was skilled in stealth and tracking.

But it was rather strange that Meng Tianxing couldn't find him.

Meng Tianxing stroked his beard and pondered, "That mark was set by me, and it was very well hidden. He has no ability to remove it, so why can't I find him?"

Long Jiu Lang frowned. "Could it be that the great formation was activated too late, and he has already escaped?"

Meng Tianxing, "There's no way he could have escaped so quickly from his position; there wasn't enough time."

A slight silence fell over the carriage, and Long Jiu Lang looked somewhat embarrassed.

The Great Chu Dynasty, the North-Suppressing King Manor.

Chen Wang had already activated the Bronze Gate to leave and returned here, now appearing in the Prince's Mansion.

He left the small building.

This prince's mansion is built against the mountain and is extremely impressive.

Chen Wang liked pavilions and kept many red carp in the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

At this moment, Chen Wang stood by the lake, watching the red carp swimming in the water, and murmured to himself.

"They came faster than I expected; this is a deliberate ambush."

No matter how powerful Meng Tianxing's method of detection is, it is impossible for him to traverse all the heavens.

Chen Wang was naturally not in any danger at this time.

However, he was somewhat curious.

"Either my Divine Sense has been detected, or this person's Divine Sense is so strong that they are probably at the Golden Core Stage."

"Or perhaps I have some kind of mark on me, and I've fallen into someone else's trap."

Chen Wang smiled faintly, "Interesting, let's have a showdown!"

He flicked his finger, and a wisp of gentle Law Power fell into the lake water, containing rich Spiritual Qi.

In the lake, thousands of red carp leap out of the water, creating a magnificent spectacle.
