108: The Crisis of Chu Wuchen in the Hundred Fragrances Enchantment

East side of Xiyuan City.

Chu Wuchen pursued the female Devil Cultivator, similarly chasing her dozens of miles outside the city, finally stopping in a valley.

He could clearly sense that the female Devil Cultivator was here, in this peach blossom forest.

Peach blossom forest?

Chu Wuchen frowned. It wasn't the season for peach blossoms to bloom, and in the barren central area of Xiyuan City, this place should have been filled with withered branches.

However, at this moment, the peach blossom forest in Chu Wuchen's eyes had countless petals flying, pink petals light and agile, the blooming peach blossoms dreamlike and illusory, making people dizzy.

And a rich fragrance permeated the air, a sweet and cloying scent that made one dizzy.

Chu Wuchen could clearly sense the aura of the female Devil Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm Sixth Heaven; her figure must be hidden within this sea of flowers.

He stood expressionless, his armless figure poised amidst the fluttering flower rain, the fire crystal stone longsword behind him already unsheathed, hovering before him.

The sword body burned with a transparent Divine Soul flame, emitting a sharp Sword Intent capable of severing illusions and breaking through delusions.

The female Devil Cultivator observed from the shadows, somewhat surprised.

This valley was precisely formed by a precious earth-grade secret treasure, the Hundred Fragrance Bewildering Formation.

Normally, anyone caught in this Hundred Fragrance Bewildering Formation should have already started feeling dizzy and stumbling.

Below the Core Formation Realm, as long as one had not yet formed a Golden Core, even a Prodigy at the Peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm Ninth Heaven would absolutely not be able to escape the influence of the Hundred Fragrance Bewildering Formation.

But why did this Chu Wuchen seem completely unaffected, even showing a faint tendency to see through the illusion formation?

“Your illusion formation is useless against me.”

Chu Wuchen's Sword Soul power, after a brief period of calm, suddenly erupted with a sharp Sword Qi!

The Sword Soul power locked onto a corner of the peach blossom forest, transforming into a streak of light and slashing forth!

The power of this sword had already reached the strength of the Foundation Establishment Realm; although it was not enough to kill the female Devil Cultivator in one blow, it was enough to force her to reveal herself.

Indeed, as the sword light swept past, the peach blossom illusion formation shattered layer by layer, revealing the female Devil Cultivator holding a strange rectangular Formation Plate Magical Artifact, with streaks of light flashing on the Magical Artifact.

But before Chu Wuchen could pursue her, the scene before his eyes changed again.

Accompanied by peals of charming, bell-like laughter, the shattered peach blossom forest transformed once more into an extremely luxurious and warm palace.

Around Chu Wuchen, light gauze danced, and warm jade exuded fragrance.

Dozens of women, emerging from unknown corners of the palace, each dressed in thin, light gauze, approached Chu Wuchen with graceful steps and swaying waists.

Their faces were exquisitely beautiful, their temperaments varied, like a group of celestial maidens from the Nine Heavens descending to the mortal world, enough to fulfill a man's every fantasy of immortal beauties.

The approaching graceful figures had skin as delicate as congealed snow-mountain fat, so fine that a touch would break it, and their shifting gazes were filled with alluring charm.

Several delicate jade hands even began to caress Chu Wuchen's body.

“Young Master, come and keep this servant company.”

“Young Master, those two swords are so frightening. Why not discard them, so this little sister can serve you properly?”

“Young Master, look at what I'm wearing today, isn't it beautiful?”

“Young Master...”

Seductive sounds entered Chu Wuchen's ears, and enchanting fragrances drilled into his nose, attempting to pry open the deepest, most primal desires within Chu Wuchen's heart, little by little.

Not far away, the female Devil Cultivator, still hiding in the shadows, saw the motionless Chu Wuchen and was overjoyed.

It was not easy to activate the second form of this Earth-Grade Magic Treasure, summoning these palaces and beauties capable of bewitching the Divine Soul.

The female Devil Cultivator had not only injected dozens of drops of her own essence blood but also poured half of her Devilish Qi into it.

Every fairy surrounding Chu Wuchen was, in theory, a Clone formed from her essence blood, and their seductive power was almost as strong as her main body.

She believed that more than a dozen fairy Clones, each possessing beauty close to her own, would surely be able to subdue Chu Wuchen!

However, Chu Wuchen in the illusion remained completely unmoved.

It wasn't that he had no perception; in fact, for a fleeting moment just now, he was indeed stirred by these fairies, causing his Qi and blood to churn slightly.

But these worldly desires and stimuli were simply not worth mentioning compared to his ultimate pursuit of the Dao of the Sword deep within his heart.

For someone who had once had his arms severed, his Dantian destroyed, and nearly plunged into an abyss for a lifetime, now given a chance to start anew, he only wanted to be obsessed with the Dao of the Sword.

What peach blossoms, what fairies, they were all just alluring skeletons.

“With no women in one's heart, drawing the sword is naturally divine.”

Chu Wuchen murmured a line his Revered Master had once joked about.

He hadn't expected that his Revered Master's casual remark once contained such profound meaning!

After silently reciting that line, Chu Wuchen's eyes instantly regained their clarity and sharpness.

He even saw directly through layers of illusions to the location of the female Devil Cultivator.

“Filthy demonic creature, how dare you disturb my Sword Heart? Break Army, slash!”

Chu Wuchen's mind stirred.

The fire crystal stone longsword before him remained still; instead, it was the Heaven-Grade Secret Treasure behind him, the yueshan sword!

The yueshan sword erupted with a heavy, earthy yellow sword light, emitting a low sword hum, like a great bell cleansing evil spirits, sending forth a soul-shaking chime.

The yueshan sword transformed into a mountain-like entity, mercilessly slashing away all the fairy phantoms.

Wherever the sword light reached, those fairies shattered and dissipated like bubbles, without even a chance to let out a mournful cry.

Facing the captivating illusion, Chu Wuchen actually chose to simply close his eyes.

He not only used his Sword Soul to replace his hands but even allowed his Sword Soul power to replace all his senses.

No matter how many temptations you present, I will break them with a single sword!

Chu Wuchen manipulated the yueshan sword, slashing apart the luxurious palace, destroying all the seductive sounds and alluring fragrances with one strike, shattering the entire illusion.

It revealed the somewhat dilapidated mountain rocks beneath the environment.

In the shadows, Chu Wuchen heard a “poof” sound.

After the illusion was broken, the female Devil Cultivator also suffered a great backlash, and her aura consequently weakened somewhat.

She then brought out another Secret Treasure for escape, preparing to transform into a streak of light and leave again.

But she was caught up by a sword light.

“Ten Thousand Army Swordplay · Divine Soul Severing Devil!”

Chu Wuchen's eyes were cold.

The yueshan sword transformed into a streak of light, and a gigantic sword light phantom even appeared on it—that was the Sword Soul power formed by Chu Wuchen's Sword Soul.

In the blink of an eye, the yueshan sword pierced the female Devil Cultivator's back, Run through her chest and abdomen.

This sword contained Sword Intent that could sever the Divine Soul; if he slightly activated his Sword Soul power, this female Devil Cultivator would surely die!

The female Devil Cultivator felt the icy Sword Intent coming from her chest.

In despair, a strange light suddenly flashed across her body.

Her appearance and figure instantly changed!

She transformed into the likeness of a fairy with an ice-blue dress fluttering.

When she slowly turned her head, Chu Wuchen was completely stunned.

The female Devil Cultivator, whose chest and abdomen he had just pierced, had actually transformed into the likeness of his sister, Chu Qinglian!

“Wuchen, don't kill me...”

Chu Wuchen's eyes were cold.

The yueshan sword suddenly erupted! The Sword Soul power shredded the Divine Soul within this body.

After a heavy hum, the Chu Qinglian before him instantly lost all signs of life.
