" Blazing Flame Slash!"
The area around the five-person group immediately turned fiery red. Chen Rufeng raised his broadsword, and the blade's light rose four or five meters long, slashing towards Chen Zihu from afar.
"Well done! Primal Chaos Undefeated Fist!"
Chen Zihu laughed heartily, made a fist, and met the incoming broadsword with a punch.
Chen Village has developed for so long, and has acquired many martial arts techniques and skills from the outside world.
Although over 99% of the villagers practice the Five Elements Body Tempering Technique, their martial arts skills are diverse, with each person having their own strengths, and Chen Village does not restrict them.
The [ Primal Chaos Undefeated Fist ] that Chen Zihu is currently using was obtained by chance and is also an extremely powerful Earth Level martial art.
Thump!!
Chen Rufeng's broadsword struck Chen Zihu's fist, resulting in a brief stalemate.
"Hold on!"
The captain of the Women's Five Elements Formation was Miao Ya. The four women around her also poured their Spiritual Power into her body, and then the area around them turned into a blue ocean.
" Ice Condensation Thorn!"
A half-meter-long ice spike swiftly pierced towards Chen Zihu's fist, complementing the blazing blade light beside it. The contrast of ice and fire, cold and heat, amplified the power exponentially.
With a loud bang, Chen Zihu took two steps back.
"Again!"
Chen Zihu leaped up like Meteorfall, throwing a punch at Chen Rufeng's team.
" Earth Element Shield."
Chen Rufeng's team of five simultaneously raised their hands, their entire bodies turning earthen yellow. With a loud bang, Chen Zihu's attack landed on the earthen yellow protective shield, but remained completely still.
At this moment, the other female squad turned pale gold, and a golden blade shot out, aiming straight for Chen Zihu's face.
Chen Zihu and the two Five Elements Battle Formation teams fought back and forth for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before finally stopping.
"Alright! That concludes today's training. You can all go back and rest now."
Chen Mu, who had been observing from the sidelines, stepped forward and shouted loudly.
"Yes, Master Mu."
The Five Elements Guards bowed respectfully to Chen Mu and then turned to leave.
Chen Hongjie had also watched the game with Chen Mu today, and a trace of shock still lingered on his face.
" The Five Elements Battle Formation, composed of four Early Qi Nourishing Realm warriors and six Ninth-Duan Martial Artist, can contend with Zihu, who is comparable to the Late True Spirit Realm."
"Tsk tsk tsk, A Mu, the Five Elements Guards you trained are truly a bunch of monsters."
"That's different. Besides knowing the Five Elements Battle Formation, they are also my ' Battle Talisman Soldiers,' so their combat strength cannot be measured by conventional methods."
From a worldly perspective, there is a world of difference between Ninth-Duan Martial Artist and a True Spirit Realm martial artist. Under normal circumstances, a thousand Ninth-Duan Martial Artist would not be able to pose a threat to a True Spirit Realm cultivator. There is a qualitative difference between them.
But Chen Mu's ' Battle Talisman Soldiers ' are different. Their bodies contain Chen Mu's runes, which means they are actually a kind of Rune Artifacts, a kind of 'humanoid Rune Artifacts '.
Therefore, their strength will be affected by Chen Mu's level of Dao of Talismans, not just their own cultivation level.
"Ordinary Five Elements Battle Formation won't increase power this much, but it should be fine for fighting across one or two minor realms."
Third Uncle, the operation of the Five Elements Battle Formation is now in your hands. These ten Five Elements Guards can also serve as instructors to help you train other soldiers.
"Okay! Don't worry, I'll arrange it."
Chen Hongjie patted his chest to reassure Chen Mu, then a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.
" A Mu, Duoduo hasn't come back yet. Did something happen?"
"It's alright, I've been having friends keep an eye on the cabinet's situation."
Duoduo and the others have been staying in the Mystic Spirit Grotto-Heaven, which is isolated from the world and is the safest place in the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion. Nothing will happen to them there!
During this period, although Chen Mu could not contact Chen Duo and the other person, he did manage to contact Zheng Fengdao and Yin Zhan.
According to Zheng Fengdao, the inner disciples who cultivate in the Mystic Spirit Grotto-Heaven all have life-saving teleportation jade tokens, so they are basically not in any danger inside. He told Chen Mu not to worry too much.
Chen Mu felt much more relieved after learning the news, but he was still a little uneasy when he thought about his promise to Chen Duo.
He cultivates the Fate Dao of Talismans, and often has a vague sense of things that are closely related to him.
He's had a bad feeling lately, but all the surface signs indicate that the people around him are not in danger, leaving him in a state of contradictory confusion.
He was still recovering from the battle of Chen Village and couldn't leave, so he had to put the matter aside for the time being.
However, in the past month or so, Chen Village has stabilized, and the implementation of the Five Elements Pattern and the Five Elements Battle Formation has greatly improved the overall strength of Chen Village, finally freeing his hands.
"The main reason I 'Heaven-Questioning Pavilion this time is to discuss my new invention with my master. I'll probably stay there for a while."
Don't tell my mother anything like that, or she'll worry.
He didn't tell Meng Hui about the regular contact between Chen Duo and himself. Instead, he kept telling Meng Hui that Chen Duo's seclusion was just normal cultivation, and Meng Hui never suspected anything.
So before he left, he specifically instructed Chen Hongjie and Chen Zihu not to say anything carelessly.
"Okay, we understand."
Chen Zihu put his arm around Chen Hongjie's shoulder and smiled knowingly.
At noon, at Chen Mu's house.
On the dining table were several steaming dishes, which Chen Mu was enjoying immensely.
"Mother, I plan to go back to the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion later and may stay for a few days. You don't need to save me dinner tonight."
"Okay, is there anything you'd like to eat? I'll make some extra and bring it over for you."
A hint of worry flashed deep in Meng Hui's eyes, but she concealed it well.
"No need, I can't finish all of this. Just pack it all up and take it with me later."
"That's fine. Wait for me a moment, I'll make some more pastries for you to take with you, it'll be ready soon."
Meng Hui acted swiftly and decisively, immediately running to the kitchen to get started.
"Mother, no need..."
Chen Mu shouted something, but knowing he couldn't persuade Meng Hui, he had no choice but to give up.
He had almost finished eating, so he put down his chopsticks and went to the pond in the yard to look for the White Turtle.
" Grandpa Turtle, I have a bad feeling about going back to the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion this time. Why don't you come with me?"
The White Turtle slowly stretched out its head and opened its eyes.
"I don't really care, but I think your teleportation array might not be able to withstand my energy."
So if you want to take me with you, you'll have to fly back yourself."
Chen Mu then remembered that the small teleportation array he had created did indeed have such limitations.
The small teleportation array he built can only transport cultivators below the Core Formation Realm. However, White Turtle's strength has gradually recovered, and he is now stronger than those in the Core Formation Realm.
"That's alright. With my current strength, it'll only take me a day or two to pilot the spaceship back. You should come with me."
"Good."
Seeing that White Turtle had agreed, Chen Mu picked him up and skillfully placed him on his chest.
With a whoosh, a white light shone, and the White Turtle transformed into a tattoo pattern, imprinted on Chen Mu's chest.
This is a rune application that Chen Mu recently researched. After the White Turtle transforms into a pattern, it will make his movements much easier.
