70: Crisis, the last stand!

Fortunately!

He has now minimized the crisis!

Inside the underground palace.

the Scholar walked through it, carrying Chen Xian.

"Once, Invincible Chen was an existence that struck terror into the hearts of us Demon Lords. I never expected that one day we would be able to enter his private residence and even see the underground palace he built!"

"Chen Xian, stop playing tricks. Can you tell me where the soul-forbidding bead is now?"

Chen Xian said weakly, "Ahead!"

This time, the Scholar did not move again.

Looking at the deep corridor in front of him.

He threw Chen Xian onto the ground.

"You go first."

This second generation ancestor was definitely not as simple as he appeared on the surface.

From the moment he swapped the soul-forbidding bead, the Scholar was deeply convinced of this.

Therefore, it was better to be cautious at a time like this!

Chen Xian climbed up from the ground.

He limped forward.

the Scholar followed silently behind him.

Until fifteen minutes later.

They finally arrived at a great hall in the underground palace.

Stepping inside, the Scholar looked around.

"Even in an underground palace, every plant and tree contains a killing intent. As expected of Invincible Chen's handiwork!"

As for now, Chen Xian walked forward.

A person and a dog were standing not far away.

When Zhou Duoer saw Chen Xian injured like this, a look of worry clearly appeared on her face.

Da Huang bared his teeth, letting out a low, warning growl.

Clearly, he wasn't warning Chen Xian, but rather the Scholar behind him!

"Girl, give me that bead."

Zhou Duoer saw Chen Xian's battered state.

For the first time, she felt a sense of helpless confusion.

She wanted to help this man share the pressure.

But she didn't know where to start.

The moment she handed the bead to Chen Xian.

Chen Xian suddenly crushed a teleportation stone.

Zhou Duoer was instantly teleported away.

As for the Scholar, seeing this scene.

He made no move; to him, he only wanted that soul-forbidding bead.

Other people were irrelevant existences.

"Now, can you give it to me?"

Chen Xian was panting heavily now.

"Wait! I want to try one more time!"

"Hmm?"

"If I just die like this, it would be far too frustrating!"

Chen Xian took a deep breath.

Beside him, Da Huang took a deep breath in telepathic synchronization.

The actions of the man and the dog.

Made the Scholar instantly understand Chen Xian's intention.

"Heh, a deathbed struggle?"

the Scholar sneered, "If it weren't for the fact that this body of yours is still useful, you would have probably died a thousand times over by now!"

Chen Xian ignored these words.

Instead, he suddenly took a step forward.

"Da Huang!"

Da Huang opened his large mouth.

A gale blew directly out of his mouth.

Chen Xian pointed a finger.

"Fire Control Art — Heaven Incineration!"

A massive ball of fire crushed directly toward the Scholar.

the Scholar had originally been dismissive.

But upon seeing this Fire Control Art, the expression on his face changed from previous disdain to shock.

"Damn! This is the Fire Control Art?"

The massive flames condensed into a giant Dragon, letting out a roar at the Scholar.

It pounced toward him.

the Scholar did not dare to be careless.

He took out a folding fan with both hands.

And gave it a fierce swing.

The fire dragon in front of him instantly lost its head, but in the next second, the flames re-condensed into a fire dragon.

It pounced toward the Scholar again.

"Shit!"

The underground palace was not the outside world, after all; there were spatial limitations.

the Scholar's movements were even more restricted here. He was instantly covered by flames!

And Chen Xian had no intention of letting his opponent go at this time.

Last night's fire seed, combined with the Fire Control Art he had learned at Li Yu's place that day.

Was hollowing out the Spiritual Qi in Chen Xian's body.

However, he had no intention of stopping at all.

Whether he could survive would depend on this one move.

Carrying a determination to die.

The fire in the underground palace grew even more intense.

Until fifteen minutes later.

Chen Xian knelt half-way on the ground, gasping for breath.

As for the Scholar, where was his previous appearance as an elegant Young Master?

First, he had been riddled with wounds by Chen Xian's sword pellet.

Now, his clothes were burnt pitch black by the fire.

the Scholar, who was already a germaphobe, had a face as black as the bottom of a pot at this moment.

"Chen Xian, I have to admit now that I did indeed underestimate you before. I didn't expect you to even be able to use the Heaven Incineration Art!"

"You are the first person in the Qi Refinement Stage who could push me to this point. And you should also be the last."

"Whether in talent or ability, you indeed possess both. If it weren't for the Immaculate Sacred Body, I would certainly take you under my wing, or even make you my Personal Disciple."

"But, who told your fate to be like this!"

Although the Scholar was injured, he had no intention of stopping his steps.

Standing in front of Chen Xian, he said condescendingly, "Now, everything is over!"

The voice had just fallen.

Chen Xian felt a massive pressure pinning him firmly to the ground.

The soul-forbidding bead in his hand also fell into the Scholar's hand.

the Scholar picked up his folding fan and gave it a fierce swing.

A massive Protective Aura sliced through the thick ceiling of the underground palace.

Moonlight fell through as a result.

He looked up at the moonlight and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, it's not too late!"

His hands formed seals.

"Moon Demon, this time you can finally come out!"

A fanatical expression also appeared on the Scholar's face.

Once the Moon Demon emerges, who can compete!

In the ancient era, experts were as numerous as trees in a forest.

If the Moon Demon could have such a fierce reputation then, one could imagine it now.

Chen Xian looked at Da Huang beside him.

"Da Huang, you should leave too!"

Da Huang let out a whimpering sound.

Just then.

The System's notification sound appeared in Chen Xian's mind.

[Ding! Daily Intelligence has been refreshed!]

[Daily Intelligence 1: The Tiangu is a natural counter to the Moon Demon!]

When he saw this piece of intelligence, Chen Xian's tears almost fell.

Holy shit!

Why didn't you say so earlier!

He thought he was going to die without a place for burial!

That there was no more hope!

Now seeing this scene.

There was finally hope!

It truly was a case of 'planting flowers with care but they don't bloom, while willow branches planted casually grow into shade'!

He had prepared so many backup plans.

He never expected that the final key would actually be on a dog.

[Daily Intelligence 2: Three more Demon Lord-level demonic cultivators are still lurking in Jubei City!]

Hiss!

Damn, it seems everyone wants to keep an eye on this piece of fat meat that I am, huh?

Demon Lord-level demonic cultivators, those are experts in the Nascent Soul Realm.

They didn't come with the Scholar, not because they felt at ease leaving this matter to him.

But likely because they were the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!

Looking at the Scholar's smug appearance.

Chen Xian suddenly felt a bit of pity for this guy, because he believed this guy probably wouldn't survive tonight!

Before he could even look at the third piece of intelligence.

He suddenly felt that under the moonlight.

A phantom slowly appeared in the back garden above the underground palace.

the Scholar laughed wildly, "Lord Moon Demon, you've finally come out!"

The phantom's gaze was cold.

"Was it you who awakened this deity?"

the Scholar wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

He said seriously, "That's right. Lord Moon Demon, it was I who awakened you. I..."

Puchi!
