The Feng Family's Defeat and Escape

"Kill!"

A Dao Foundation cultivator from the Flying Sword Sect saw this opportunity and let out a loud roar.

The cultivators who witnessed Chen Xuan's strike felt their morale surge.

The tide of battle began to turn.

The Feng family cultivators gradually fell into a disadvantage.

"What a body cultivator with such robust blood energy!"

A Purple Mansion cultivator from the Feng family also noticed Chen Xuan, a trace of killing intent flashing in his eyes.

The Vice Sect Master of the Flying Sword Sect chuckled, directly blocking the man's line of sight as he unleashed a magical treasure to strike: "Fellow Daoist, why are you distracted?"

The Feng family Purple Mansion cultivator immediately defended himself, unable to spare any more attention for Chen Xuan.

He merely sent a voice transmission to the other two Purple Mansion cultivators, urging them to seize the chance to eliminate Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan's strength was truly formidable, a rarity even within the Cloud Sea Sect.

If they could eradicate him while his wings were not yet fully grown, it would be a blessing.

Otherwise, once his cultivation progressed further, successfully reaching the Purple Mansion and forming a Nascent Soul, he would surely become a major threat to the Feng family's future.

The Feng family had sent three Purple Mansion cultivators to attack the Flying Sword Sect, while the Flying Sword Sect only had two; the Sect Master was currently pinning down the other two.

The Feng family Purple Mansion cultivators received the transmission.

The two acted with tacit understanding; one went all-out against the Flying Sword Sect Master, while the other seized an opening to unleash a flying sword—ostensibly attacking the Sect Master, but secretly aiming to ambush Chen Xuan.

As the flying sword was unleashed and about to strike the Flying Sword Sect Master, it suddenly veered off course, heading straight for Chen Xuan.

With the Cloud Sea Heaven-Observing Technique and the Heaven-Observing Divine Eye constantly monitoring the battlefield, how could Chen Xuan be so easily ambushed?

Under the Cloud Sea Heaven-Observing Technique, Chen Xuan discovered that the hidden Nascent Soul expert from the Cloud Sea Sect was already prepared to intervene.

If Chen Xuan failed to dodge or defend, that expert would strike.

Just as the flying sword was about to reach him.

Three hundred azure dragon patterns around Chen Xuan's body suddenly erupted with brilliant light, and the immense power of his blood energy instantly condensed onto his right index and middle fingers.

With his two fingers pressed together and an azure dragon shadow coiling around his fingertips, he pointed directly at the incoming flying sword treasure!

"Azure Dragon Finger!"

His fingertip collided violently with the tip of the flying sword, emitting a harsh, metallic screech.

The wild blood energy and the treasure's spiritual power clashed intensely, forming a visible shockwave that rippled outward.

The high-quality flying sword treasure was forcibly halted by this single finger; its blade trembled violently, spiritual light flickering erratically. Though it did not shatter, it could no longer advance an inch.

The Feng family Purple Mansion cultivator was shocked. Although this strike was not his full power, it still carried the might of the Purple Mansion realm—yet it had been caught bare-handed by a Dao Foundation cultivator!?

The Flying Sword Sect Master was enraged at the sight: "What a shameless Feng family, a Purple Mansion cultivator ambushing a Dao Foundation one!"

The Feng family wanted to curse back; it was that body cultivator of yours who first lacked martial virtue by attacking the Feng family's Spirit Sea and Qi Gathering juniors.

The Flying Sword Sect Master ignored this, his spiritual power surging as his aura became even more terrifying.

He unleashed a lethal strike toward the Feng family Purple Mansion cultivator.

Seeing the ambush fail, the Purple Mansion cultivator immediately retracted his flying sword and resumed his entanglement with the Flying Sword Sect Master.

After blocking the ambush, Chen Xuan did not even look in the direction the sword had come from, nor did he intend to counterattack the Purple Mansion cultivator who had targeted him.

After all, he was only at the Dao Foundation realm; he could hold his own against a Purple Mansion cultivator, but killing one was too difficult.

Rather than retaliating, it was better to continue slaughtering the Feng family's low-level cultivators. Let's see if the Feng family feels the pain when they lose enough of them.

Thinking this, Chen Xuan scanned the Feng family's Spirit Sea and Qi Gathering realm cultivators who were locked in combat with the Flying Sword Sect disciples.

The Feng family's low-level cultivators felt a chill run down their spines.

"No! Retreat!"

A Feng family Dao Foundation cultivator noticed Chen Xuan's gaze and shouted immediately.

Chen Xuan's figure flickered, transforming into a streak of azure light as he charged into the densest cluster of the Feng family's low-level cultivators like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.

Facing these Spirit Sea and Qi Gathering enemies, Chen Xuan pushed his Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art to the limit, taking down one Feng family cultivator with every punch.

The screams and cries of the Feng family's low-level cultivators were incessant.

"Beast!"

The Feng family Dao Foundation cultivators who could spare a hand all rushed toward Chen Xuan.

Yet, Chen Xuan was invincible among his peers; he could even defend against the attacks of Dao Foundation cultivators while simultaneously reaping the lives of the low-level ones.

In a short time, the Feng family's low-level cultivators were terrified of Chen Xuan, and some, unable to bear the pressure, began to flee.

The Flying Sword Sect cultivators pressed their advantage.

"Damn it! Damn it! If it's like this, everyone, kill the Flying Sword Sect's low-level cultivators!"

A Dao Foundation Realm cultivator from the Feng family roared, his voice hoarse and dripping with killing intent.

"Want to copy me? Flowing Cloud Myriad Forms!"

Chen Xuan immediately unleashed Flowing Cloud Myriad Forms.

Clouds filled the sky, shrouding the surroundings and instantly obstructing the vision of the Feng family's Dao Foundation Realm cultivators.

"Spirit Sea disciples, retreat first."

The Dao Foundation disciples of the Flying Sword Sect also immediately ordered the low-level cultivators to fall back.

Wu Xun and the others, along with any Flying Sword Sect Dao Foundation cultivators who knew Flowing Cloud Myriad Forms, released clouds of their own to further disrupt the Feng family's sight.

"Retreat!"

Seeing this, the Purple Mansion cultivator leading the Feng family gritted his teeth and shouted.

They had lost this battle miserably.

Seventy percent of their low-level cultivators had fallen, and they had suffered significant losses among their Dao Foundation cultivators as well.

As the Feng family cultivators withdrew, the Flying Sword Sect disciples erupted into cheers.

The clouds covering the battlefield were quickly retracted by the cultivators.

Wu Xun and the others approached Chen Xuan.

The Sect Master and Deputy Sect Master of the Flying Sword Sect walked up to Chen Xuan and his companions with smiles on their faces.

"Many thanks to you young friends for your assistance this time."

The Flying Sword Sect Master thanked them with a smile.

"As cultivators of the Cloud Sea, this is only right."

Wu Xun replied with a cupped-fist salute.

"Good! May I ask how to address you all?"

The Flying Sword Sect Master asked again.

Each of them stated their names.

The Sect Master and Deputy Sect Master were noticeably more enthusiastic toward Chen Xuan.

On one hand, it was due to the cultivation Chen Xuan had displayed; being able to take a direct hit from a Purple Mansion cultivator was truly extraordinary.

On the other hand, it was thanks to Chen Xuan disregarding his own reputation to strike directly at the Feng family's low-level cultivators that the Flying Sword Sect avoided further casualties. One could even say that repelling the Feng family was largely to his credit.

In truth, Chen Xuan did not care about such things.

What were face and reputation? Could they make him stronger?

"You have done well. Upon returning to the sect, there will surely be rewards."

As they were speaking, an old man suddenly appeared and said slowly.

The two Sect Masters and Wu Xun's group were startled at the sight of him and immediately cupped their hands: "Greetings, Grand Elder."

Seeing this, Chen Xuan also immediately cupped his hands and greeted him.

"You lad are quite impressive."

The Grand Elder looked at Chen Xuan with a smile and offered him individual praise.

"Many thanks for the praise, Grand Elder."

Chen Xuan replied with a cupped-fist salute.

"No need for such formalities. Let us speak elsewhere."

With that, the Grand Elder began walking toward the interior of the Flying Sword Sect.

The Flying Sword Sect Master gave instructions to his Dao Foundation disciples, telling them to lead the low-level cultivators in clearing the battlefield.

Then, the two Sect Masters and Chen Xuan's group followed the Grand Elder.
