Gu He's Misfortune

Chapter 39: Gu He's Misfortune

The combined forces of two Dou Emperors had indeed put considerable pressure on Chen Xuan.

In a one-on-one fight, Chen Xuan would not have felt such pressure.

"Although the two of them are weaker than me, the power of their Dou Techniques is formidable." Chen Xuan stared coldly at the two before him.

After fighting them, Chen Xuan thoroughly understood the value of possessing a powerful Dou Technique.

Although that man had been weaker just now, the Dou Technique he used had been tremendously powerful.

When it had struck, it carried a wave of searing heat, its momentum like crashing tides and roaring waves, making one feel as if they stood beneath monstrous billows.

If Chen Xuan had not fused two Beast Flames, he would certainly have been injured.

The fusion of two Beast Flames possessed the power of a Dou Huang Peak expert.

Chen Xuan greatly coveted the White Flame in the black-robed youth's hand.

Having tasted the benefits brought by fused Beast Flames, he craved even more special flames.

If he could obtain the White Flame, Chen Xuan's combat strength would definitely rise by a great margin.

"Finish this quickly. We cannot stay too long, or there will be trouble. Queen Medusa has yet to appear," the black-robed youth said grimly.

Since Queen Medusa, a Dou Huang Peak expert, had not acted, the two of them did not feel much pressure.

If this dragged on until Queen Medusa completed her evolution, the two of them would absolutely be no match for her.

Yun Yun understood this as well, so she launched another attack.

Azure Dou Qi surged wildly from her body, and an immense aura swept forth, enveloping the entire city in a suffocating field of pressure.

An azure storm shot into the heavens like a tornado, its majestic momentum causing heaven and earth to change color.

The entire great city trembled beneath the azure storm.

The Snake People Race experts all retreated from the battlefield to avoid being caught in it.

After all, the destructive power of a battle between Dou Emperors was terrifying. If they were caught in it, even if they did not die, they would be crippled.

"Wind Extremity: Meteor Annihilation!" Yun Yun cried softly.

The strange longsword in her hand suddenly trembled, letting out a clear sword cry as a tiny, thumb-sized beam of profound light shot forth.

The instant the beam appeared, the surrounding space trembled several times, as if it were about to be pierced through.

Bang!

The tiny beam shot directly at Chen Xuan, punching a small hole through his Dou Qi defense before landing on his shoulder and leaving behind a wound.

The attack had been too fast for Chen Xuan to evade, so he was struck.

He was blasted back more than ten meters before finally steadying himself.

"Hiss..." The sharp pain from his shoulder made Chen Xuan suck in a breath of cold air.

Yun Yun's attack had actually left a wound on him, startling Chen Xuan somewhat.

If his physique had not been so powerful, that strike would have definitely pierced through his body.

Just as Chen Xuan stabilized his retreating body, a figure lunged at him like lightning, carrying a fierce and violent aura.

"Eight Extremities Collapse!" The newcomer roared and struck a palm toward Chen Xuan's back.

The newcomer's speed was so great that evasion was difficult, leaving Chen Xuan no choice but to meet the attack head-on.

He threw a punch, blasting it toward the attacker.

His original Eight-star Dou Huang aura suddenly increased sixfold at that moment.

At this moment, Chen Xuan was actually even stronger than a Dou Huang Peak expert.

The black-robed youth's expression changed drastically, shock filling his eyes.

Boom!

The two exchanged palm strikes, producing a deafening explosion as terrifying power erupted.

Under everyone's astonished gazes, the black-robed youth was sent flying by the powerful shockwave and spat out a mouthful of blood.

At that moment, Chen Xuan sensed a hidden force rampaging through his body.

Fortunately, his physique was powerful enough to withstand it.

Still, he had to endure some pain.

"What?" Yun Yun was stunned.

The Silver-robed Man before her possessed such terrifying combat strength, something she had never expected.

At that moment, Chen Xuan's power had increased sixfold, and his aura had reached the level of a Dou Huang Peak, approaching the Dou Zong realm.

"A Dou Zong expert?" The black-robed youth's aged voice carried doubt.

If Chen Xuan were called a Dou Zong expert, his cultivation realm had not yet reached that level.

His strength merely came infinitely close to the Dou Zong level.

Even so, Chen Xuan was no longer someone the two of them could handle.

They had already witnessed Chen Xuan's method of fusing Beast Flames.

If he used it again now, its power would definitely be terrifying.

"Leave quickly," the black-robed youth said to Yun Yun.

The moment he finished speaking, he vanished from where he stood and fled outward.

"Stay!" Seeing him flee, Chen Xuan roared.

His aura surged as he gave chase.

In terms of speed, Chen Xuan was superior.

"Retreat at once!" Yun Yun shouted to the others.

Upon hearing Yun Yun's words, the people who had been fighting all withdrew from the battlefield, not daring to linger any longer.

As the black-robed youth fled, he noticed Chen Xuan pursuing closely behind him, and his expression darkened.

If this chase continued, being caught was only a matter of time.

He suddenly turned around, and White Flame surged forth, spreading toward the rapidly approaching Chen Xuan.

At the same time, an immense spiritual force erupted from his body and engulfed Chen Xuan.

Facing the White Flame, Chen Xuan conjured a wall of Purple-Green Flame before him, blocking it.

The powerful spiritual force caught Chen Xuan off guard, and he was struck instantly.

He quickly retreated.

Taking advantage of Chen Xuan's retreat, the black-robed youth seized the chance to escape.

"Damn it!" Chen Xuan's face darkened as he watched his target flee.

Worried that something might happen to the Snake People Race settlement, Chen Xuan could only return.

The moment he returned, a figure happened to emerge from the city and attempted to flee.

"Gu He, stay right there." Chen Xuan revealed a cruel smile.

He shot toward Gu He.

Seeing Chen Xuan approach, Gu He's face turned pale, and despair filled his eyes.

How could he, with only the strength of a Dou Wang, possibly be Chen Xuan's match?

Even escaping was exceedingly difficult.

Elsewhere, Yun Yun and the others also noticed Gu He's predicament. They wanted to return and help, but they feared Chen Xuan.

Purple-Green Flame burned over Chen Xuan's right hand as he attacked Gu He.

Gu He's eyes widened, his heart filled with despair.

"Please show mercy, sir. We are willing to offer Gold Coins as compensation, and we will certainly satisfy you."

Just as Gu He was about to be reduced to ashes, Yun Yun spoke up to plead for him.

Chen Xuan's palm stopped one inch away from Gu He.

Staring at the Purple-Green Flame before him, Gu He felt the aura of death.

"As long as you let me go, I am willing to offer compensation that will satisfy you," Gu He said, his face pale.

Seeing Chen Xuan stop, Yun Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She kept a safe distance from Chen Xuan.

If Gu He were killed, the Misty Cloud Sect would suffer enormous losses.

"Fine. If you want Gu He to be safe, bring out twenty million Gold Coins to ransom him," Chen Xuan said in a chilling tone. "Without twenty million Gold Coins, Gu He will have only one fate: to turn into ashes beneath the flames in my hand."

Yun Yun's expression changed upon hearing Chen Xuan demand twenty million Gold Coins.

Twenty million Gold Coins was no small sum.

To produce twenty million Gold Coins, they would practically have to empty their coffers.

"I cannot produce twenty million Gold Coins for the time being." Yun Yun shook her head slightly.

"No money, then die," Chen Xuan said coldly.

"Give me some time, and I will definitely gather twenty million Gold Coins," Gu He shouted.

To save his life, he had no choice but to bleed heavily.

As a sixth-grade alchemist, he held an important position in the Alchemist Guild of the Jia Ma Empire.

To preserve him, a sixth-grade alchemist, the Alchemist Guild should not stand idly by.
