96: One deadly threat after another

"I don't know!"

"Since he's not here, then aren't we..."

Their gazes fell upon the Merman.

The Merman in black robes quickly became a thorn in everyone's side!

Those fools like Wang Li didn't strike hard enough just now.

If all of them swarmed him now!

Could they snatch this Formation for themselves?

But just then, Li Yu said indifferently, "I advise you not to do that."

"Princess, Your Highness, why is that?"

"This is only a Sub-Formation; the Main Formation is in that man's hands. If this Formation is destroyed, I'm afraid none of us will have a place to stand!"

Li Yu's words were like a bucket of cold water.

Instantly dousing their restless hearts.

At the same time.

Li Yu also looked toward where Chen Xian had departed.

What exactly did this man want to do?

He left in such a hurry, likely to avoid giving her a chance to question him, right?

Meanwhile.

Chen Xian had already released the Moon Demon and Da Huang.

In this dangerous place.

Although he had the Bloodthirsty Great Array to withstand the blood mist.

It was still better to be cautious.

"I really don't know why you insisted on coming out."

The Moon Demon spoke impatiently.

Chen Xian ignored him and followed the direction from the information, walking for a full half a shichen before arriving!

"The Sword Qi is fierce. This is a Sword Qi Vent!"

The Moon Demon exclaimed, "The blood mist is everywhere; how did you know?"

Chen Xian sneered.

"It's a secret!"

He sat on a rock, and the sharp Sword Qi instantly cut through his clothes.

But it didn't harm his body.

Instead, upon contact, it all sank into Chen Xian's body.

"The Immaculate Sacred Body plus the Invincible Sword Body. This combination is truly unprecedented and will never be seen again!"

The Moon Demon watched this scene.

Even though he had lived for countless ages and was widely experienced.

He had never seen these two great sacred bodies harmonize.

Now, he was even more curious about how far Chen Xian could go in the future.

Two shichen later.

Chen Xian abruptly opened his eyes.

He exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Hu!

In one breath, he had comprehended two strands of Sword Intent.

For Chen Xian, this was even more joyful than obtaining ten million Spirit Stones.

"Since I've comprehended Sword Intent, it's time to raise my cultivation level as well."

Chen Xian snapped his fingers.

Shua!

His cultivation at the Sixth Level of Qi Refining directly rose to the Qi Refining Seventh Layer!

If anyone else saw this, their jaws would surely drop.

There are many ways to break through a realm.

But there truly aren't many as effortless as Chen Xian's.

This scene made the Moon Demon look at him in a new light once again.

This boy, whether in Heart-Nature, shrewdness, or intellect, was definitely not someone an ordinary person could compare to.

However, he was now even more curious as to why Chen Xian knew there was a place to comprehend Sword Intent within this Lake Bottom Secret Realm.

Before the Moon Demon could speak.

From within the blood mist.

Two figures slowly appeared before Chen Xian.

"Chen Xian, I thought you had died in the Secret Realm long ago. I didn't expect you to not only survive but also comprehend Sword Intent here!"

"Unfortunately, though you've hidden your abilities for years, it's ultimately futile before us!"

Regarding the two of them revealing Chen Xian's identity as soon as they arrived.

Chen Xian wasn't surprised in the slightest.

Instead, he said jokingly, "Isn't it said that the Embroidered Uniform Guard is always taciturn and only focuses on killing?"

"Why are you so talkative now!"

Chen Xian's single sentence.

Made both people present freeze.

They thought that exposing Chen Xian's identity with one word would surely shock the boy.

But they never expected.

That Chen Xian not only wasn't surprised but also directly stated their identities.

"Let me think, did our Emperor, Your Majesty, instruct you to injure me and then take me back to the palace?"

After Chen Xian finished speaking.

Cold sweat had already begun to break out on the foreheads of the two.

Because this matter was personally assigned by the Emperor.

Besides the two of them and the Emperor, no one else was present.

How did Chen Xian know?

Could the Emperor have told him?

One of the guards from the Embroidered Uniform Guard forced himself to calm down and said coldly, "Chen Xian, no matter what, you must return to the Capital with us!"

"Will you go back willingly, or shall we give you a beating and take you back?"

Chen Xian said with a smile, "Those words aren't quite right. If I went willingly, I'm afraid my Second Uncle wouldn't allow it. As for you beating me, we'll have to see if you have the ability."

The two from the Embroidered Uniform Guard naturally didn't know the intricacies of the situation.

They only knew that the Emperor's secret order was to injure Chen Xian but not take his life.

And then escort him to the Capital!

Now, regardless of whether Chen Xian cooperated or not, they were going to strike.

"Knowing we are the Embroidered Uniform Guard, do you still intend to put up a desperate struggle?"

Chen Xian sneered.

"It's precisely because I know that I want to test just how strong you are!"

Just as he finished speaking.

The elephant bone sword appeared in his hand.

He charged directly at the two of them.

The two from the Embroidered Uniform Guard didn't hold back either, drawing the long sabers from their waists and engaging in battle with Chen Xian.

Seeing this, the Moon Demon yawned.

"Just two people at the Foundation Establishment Stage Level Two. They have the nerve to carry out a so-called secret imperial order? Is the North Continent completely devoid of talent?"

Da Huang barked twice as if in agreement.

In less than ten seconds.

Both members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard were lying on the ground.

Chen Xian stepped on one of their chests.

He said with a faint smile, "You two aren't that strong after all!"

"The Emperor truly has grown muddled, actually sending you to move against me!"

"You can't kill us, we are the Embroidered Uniform Guard, we are the Emperor's..."

Puchi!

Chen Xian ended both their lives with a single sword strike.

"Hehe, I don't care about any of that. Anyone who targets me should be prepared to be killed in return!"

Having said that, he looked toward a direction within the blood mist.

"You, do you still not plan to come out?"

Within the blood mist.

A figure slowly emerged from the blood mist.

This person was clad in silver armor!

Appearing openly before Chen Xian.

"Hehe, it seems the Emperor truly favors me. For a nobody like me, he not only sent Attendants and the Embroidered Uniform Guard but even his own Imperial Guard Captain."

"I'm truly overwhelmed by the favor; it's quite an honor!"

Chen Xian's words caused a trace of cold killing intent to appear on the face of the silver-armored person!

"It seems Invincible Chen isn't resting in peace even after death, actually leaving you so many trump cards!"

"Tell me who told you all this, and I can let you suffer less. If you don't speak, I will make you wish you were dead."

"After all, Your Majesty said to bring you back to the palace alive. Even if you're down to your last breath, you're still considered alive..."

Chen Xian said with a faint smile, "Oh!"

"I'm very curious, as a woman, how can your heart be even more ruthless than a man's?"

After he finished speaking.

Pei Ning's pupils constricted.

Her expression became even colder.

"Nonsense! Die!"
