655: Chapter 655 Breaking the Formation

The three women watched this scene in terror; that golden Sword Qi was only a foot away from Xiao Chen.

Tang Youlan frowned involuntarily, her palms sweating. She already regretted letting him attempt to break this Formation.

Failure meant permanent death.

At the same time, the Formation Clone also activated its Sword Domain.

An identical silver Sword Domain expanded outward, clashing fiercely with Xiao Chen's Sword Domain, creating a stalemate.

Xiao Chen was slightly stunned. He had fused his Sword Domain with the Sword World, but he hadn't expected this Clone to copy that skill as well!

He pondered inwardly; it was unlikely he could defeat it using his current skills.

Because everything he knew, this Formation Clone also knew.

"Xiao Chen, if you break this Formation, I will engage in Dual Cultivation with you!" Tang Youlan shouted into the Formation immediately.

The Red-Tailed Fox King and Yuehua widened their beautiful eyes, covering their lips.

"For real?!"

"My word is law."

Xiao Chen immediately perked up. With a mental command, the silver Sword Domain occupying half the Formation space contracted into a silver sphere of light.

At the same time, the silver Sword Domain unleashed by the Formation Clone instantly engulfed the area where Xiao Chen stood.

This scene was incomprehensible to the three women outside; exposing oneself to the opponent's Domain was tantamount to admitting defeat.

Yet Xiao Chen's robes fluttered violently, and stinging pain assaulted his entire body—all wounds cut by the crisscrossing Sword Qi.

Tang Youlan's delicate brows furrowed as she whispered: "What on earth is this guy doing?"

Just as the Formation Clone attacked, the silver sphere of light in Xiao Chen's hand exploded, and terrifying Sword Intent poured out wantonly.

It instantly shattered the silver Sword Domain covering the entire Formation space, causing the Formation Clone to falter.

Xiao Chen's lips curled slightly as he lunged toward the Formation Clone. Two branches thrust out in opposite directions, piercing through each other's bodies.

At the same time, the Wood Clone appeared behind the Formation Clone, waving its branch, which transformed into a sharp blade, instantly severing the Formation Clone's head.

With a wisp of blue smoke, the Formation Clone slowly dissipated, and the Gold Spirit Formation beneath their feet extinguished along with it.

Outside the Formation, the three women, still shaken, quickly rushed to Xiao Chen's side.

Yuehua asked with concern: "Brother Xiao Chen, are you alright?"

"Of course I am."

Xiao Chen replied calmly: "Being pierced by a branch, what could possibly happen to me? I will heal in just a moment."

Tang Youlan asked, puzzled: "The Formation Clone had clearly revealed a flaw, so why did you choose to trade injury for injury with it?"

"You underestimate it. Essentially, it is my copy; it knows all my Moves and all my Domains like the back of its hand. If I didn't use my real body to deceive it, how could it believe that the branch in my hand was the same one from before?"

"Although it can copy all my Cultivation Techniques, it cannot copy my thoughts, and it will never guess what my next lethal Move will be."

Xiao Chen thought for a moment, and the branch in his hand instantly turned into Spiritual Qi, while the branch in the Wood Clone's hand remained.

"Myriad Forms into One."

With a low chant, the Wood Clone quickly merged with Xiao Chen's main body.

"You cunning brat, even I was deceived by you." Tang Youlan pouted, looking every bit like a little woman.

"Hehe."

Xiao Chen took her small hand, pulled her into his arms, and whispered into her ear: "What you said just now, does it still count?"

"What words? I don't know what you're talking about!"

"Hmm?"

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly: "Trying to welch on a bet, are you?"

"Why don't I recall saying anything?"

"Didn't you shout into the Formation just now that if I broke the Gold Spirit Formation, you would engage in Dual Cultivation with me?"

"No, I didn't!"

"Then let me help you recall."

After saying that, Xiao Chen suddenly kissed her beautiful red lips and began to taste them wantonly.

Meanwhile, the Spiritual Qi around Bai Su poured out, flooding into Xiao Chen's body, forming a perfect restraint against Tang Youlan.

"Mm... Hmmm..."

Tang Youlan tried hard to push him away, but she felt weak and unable to exert any strength; the man's imposing body held her like a massive mountain.

"Exquisite Clone!"

Tang Youlan thought, and her figure immediately split into two, her main body instantly breaking free from Xiao Chen's embrace.

Xiao Chen noticed the anomaly and stopped immediately, looking at the Beauty in his arms, her face flushed and her red lips tender and alluring.

A few yards away, Tang Youlan's true body looked at him triumphantly: "If you want Dual Cultivation, she can do it too."

"Since it's a gift from nature, I won't be polite then!"

Xiao Chen finished speaking and reached directly into her neckline.

Nice!

The warm, delicate touch was actually no less than the real body.

"If I'm not mistaken, the sensations of this Exquisite Clone should be transmitted to your true body, right?"

Xiao Chen revealed an evil, charming smile.

"Stop, I'm afraid of you!"

Tang Youlan's pretty face turned red and then pale. She had thought that once this guy realized it was a Clone, he would give up the idea.

She hadn't expected him not to spare even the Clone.

"Do you remember now?"

"I remember."

Xiao Chen looked smug: "Since you remember, let's get down to business now, lest you go back on your word later."

"You really don't consider them people, do you?" Tang Youlan glared at him fiercely, her gaze sweeping toward the Red-Tailed Fox King and Yuehua nearby.

"Brother Xiao Chen, I'll close my eyes and pretend I didn't see anything."

"I... I also... didn't see anything." The Red-Tailed Fox King hurriedly turned around; despite having a natural allure in her bones, she couldn't withstand Xiao Chen's momentum.

"See that?"

Xiao Chen looked at Tang Youlan with a wicked smile: "They have already promised to pretend they didn't see anything. If you are thin-skinned, I can let them join in too."

The Red-Tailed Fox King on the side instantly blushed, and Yuehua turned away, keeping her head down.

"Alright, alright, alright, I swear I won't go back on my word, is that enough!"

Tang Youlan's pretty face was full of panic. She never dreamed that one day she would be controlled by a Cultivator from the Lower Realm.

"Mm-hmm!"

Xiao Chen nodded heavily: "That's more like it. This is the conduct a Haotian Holy Maiden should have—daring to speak and act, daring to take responsibility!"

"Stop flattering me."

Tang Youlan strode forward: "Let's go quickly."

"Wait."

"Hmm?"

"I have an idea."

"What idea?"

Xiao Chen looked at the long bridge ahead that seemed to have no end, shrouded in wisps of clouds and mist, and said indifferently: "For the journey ahead, don't make a Move. Let me protect you and see how it goes."

"Brother Xiao Chen, will that work?"

"Let him go!"

Tang Youlan crossed her arms, making her already towering jade peaks appear even more prominent: "With a Void Refinement Stage snake spirit on him, I was worried for nothing."
