Swoosh!

The sword instantly appeared in front of Xu Wen and thrusted towards his chest, but Xu Wen was already prepared for that, his palm struck towards the sword, wanting to break it apart.

Just as Xu Wen's palm came into contact with the sword blade, his right hand that was holding the sword suddenly trembled imperceptibly.

It was this slight change that made the tip of the sword show a considerable amplitude. It was this change that caused Xu Wen's arm, which was stuck close to the longsword, to slide straight to his chest.

Pfft!

A clear sound rang out, and the long sword instantly pierced through his gown and stabbed into his body, causing Xu Wen's expression to change greatly, at the same time, he did not dare advance further, and instantly retreated backwards.

Only, with such a rare opportunity, how could Chen Xiao not grasp it? Experience from his previous life played a crucial role at this moment.

After his first strike succeeded, Chen Xiao suddenly took a step forward, and directly rushed to the front, thrusting out without any forewarning.

This position was something that Xu Wen should have been able to notice initially, but now that he was pierced by Chen Xiao, at the same time he was shocked in his heart, it caused him to neglect such a small action from Chen Xiao.

Pfft!

With another sound, the area around Xu Wen's shoulder was sliced open as well. A large amount of blood gushed out in an instant, directly dyeing half of Xu Wen's body red.

However, Chen Xiao remained unmoving, and continued to chase. This time, the sword directly turned into afterimages that covered the entire sky, enveloping Xu Wen within.

As he was escaping, Xu Wen naturally noticed this as well. His expression changed as if he had thought of something, and he suddenly punched at Chen Xiao's sword net with a sinister look.

This punch, contained all of the True Qi in his body, had a strength of at least ten thousand kilograms. No matter how ingenious Chen Xiao's move was, once he was hit, his move would definitely dissipate, unable to inflict any more damage.

How could Chen Xiao not know what Xu Wen was trying to do? He was trying to break it with just his strength, but in the end, he still had to break it.

The next moment!

The sword images that filled the sky suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving behind a shining sword, aimed straight for Xu Wen's heart with lightning speed.

From extreme to extreme, this change was truly a little too quick, so much so that Xu Wen did not even have the time to react, before the longsword was already right in front of him.

There was no time for him to change his moves. He could only grit his teeth and direct his fist at the tip of the sword.

He was betting that his fists were harder than swords, betting that Chen Xiao's cultivation was too low, and that it would be impossible for him to beat head on!

Ding!

The long sword collided with the fist which was covered with zhenqi, and the small amount of zhenqi on it was instantly destroyed. The sword pierced into the fist, and the eerie white bones were exposed in an instant.

This was just the beginning.

The sword was instantly pulled out, and once again pierced towards Xu Wen's chest, this time, Chen Xiao was even faster, so fast that Xu Wen did not even have time to react.

Pfft!

A clear and melodious sound came out, Xu Wen's face instantly turned as pale as paper, he lowered his head to look at the sword that pierced through his chest, his face filled with disbelief.

"What …" How is that possible? "

Then, he raised his head to look at Chen Xiao, only to discover that Chen Xiao had already retreated several meters back, not even giving him the chance to retaliate against Chen Xiao before his death.

"You … "You …" Xu Wen pointed his finger at Chen Xiao. After a long while, he did not manage to say a single word, but following that, he spat out a large mouthful of blood and his body collapsed to the ground.

"Phew …" I'm so tired, my true qi has actually been completely used up. If I didn't use my sword skills at the last moment, I'm afraid I would really have died here today! " Seeing Xu Wen fall, Chen Xiao also heaved a sigh of relief, but he continued to stare at Xu Wen who was lying on the ground, not daring to relax in the slightest.

At that moment, Chen Xiao's entire body was drenched in cold sweat, and he felt a bit weak. Although everything that had happened just now sounded very slow, it was actually done in the time it took to boil a cup of tea.

From Chen Xiao rushing out of the pill furnace to the two of them fighting to Xu Wen's death, Chen Xiao had simulated everything in his mind countless of times. Even so, he almost failed, which made Chen Xiao realize that his current strength was truly too weak.

He then stood in his original position for the time it took to make a cup of tea, and only after confirming that Xu Wen was completely dead, did Chen Xiao walk over once more. After a brief inspection, he took off the black ring on Xu Wen's right thumb.

With Chen Xiao's eyesight, how could he not tell that this was a storage ring?

A storage ring, also known as the Universe Ring, was a type of storage ring that was specially used to store items. If it was his previous life, Chen Xiao would naturally not be interested in it, because he really had too many things on him.

Xu Wen was already dead, opening up the storage ring naturally wouldn't take too much effort, but the things inside still made Chen Xiao a little surprised.

In a space of only three metres, there were actually tens of densely packed jade bottles, every bottle was filled with medicinal pellets, and there was even a piece of paper stuck onto them for whatever purpose. Chen Xiao took a quick look, and noticed that most of them were used to raise his cultivation, heal his injuries, and recover his Qi.

Aside from that, there were also quite a few fresh medicinal herbs. Although they were not considered precious, to the current Chen Xiao, they were still considered to be quite a large amount of wealth.

Other than that, there were also a few other swords that were of good quality. They were not much different from the one Chen Xiao killed earlier, which made Chen Xiao suspect that it was Xu Wen who made them himself.

After checking the storage ring clean, he searched Xu Wen's body again, but didn't find anything else.

Just as Chen Xiao was about to stand up, a look of surprise flashed across his face.

Without waiting for Chen Xiao's expression to change, from the center of his brows, a strand of pitch black flames suddenly drilled out and directly pounced onto Xu Wen's body, and disappeared in an instant.

"Why did Black Flame run out on its own?" Chen Xiao was a little surprised. He never would have thought that the black flames would actually enter Xu Wen's body.

But very quickly, Chen Xiao understood.

After the black flames entered Xu Wen's corpse for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, they rushed out again.

When the black flames returned to his sea of consciousness, Chen Xiao's expression immediately changed.

This was because a pure energy that was large to the point of being terrifying, was actually constantly pouring into Chen Xiao's body from within the black flames.
