Chapter 2050
The aftermath of the fierce battle led to the capture of the lotus.
The black-armored youth and the white-clad girl had faces as cold as ice, their brows furrowed as they swept across the empty nebula—there wasn't even a trace of a living soul or the last vestiges of a battle here; it was clearly a desolate star field, with no sign of any "fierce battle."
"This nebula is completely devoid of life, clearly a natural dead zone, yet it has become the result of your 'bitter battle', Chen Xuan?" The white-clad girl's tone was full of sarcasm, and the blood-red divine sword at her fingertips trembled slightly, clearly not taking Chen Xuan's words seriously.
It wasn't that they couldn't sense it; it was just that during Chen Xuan's previous fierce battle, the souls and essence of the strange creatures were completely absorbed by the Thousand Evils and Myriad Souls Banner, and even the magical treasures and pills they left behind were looted.
Even more coincidentally, when the two arrived, Chen Xuan had already put away the Soul Banner. His appearance of "having just found the Pure World White Lotus" made him look like he had gotten lucky rather than won it through his own strength.
"Stop talking nonsense, I'll give you three breaths!" The black-armored youth couldn't contain his urgency. He twirled the divine spear in his palm, pointing the tip at Chen Xuan. "Either swear to leave, or the two of us will join forces to break the formation and leave you without a complete corpse!"
The Pure White Lotus in the distance was radiating a milky white divine light. Every moment that was delayed would bring more variables, and he had no patience to waste any more time.
"Fellow Daoist, do you really think that your broken formation can stop us?" The white-clad girl's eyes grew sharper, and the killing intent on her blood-red divine sword intensified—she also wanted to act quickly, kill Chen Xuan first, and then compete with the black-armored youth for the white lotus.
The two men pressed closer, while Chen Xuan was making the most of his time to digest the pills.
The pills in the jade bottle transformed into wisps of golden light that flowed into his throat. The spiritual energy in his dantian, like a dried-up river receiving rain, slowly recovered by 30-40%, and his aura became more stable than before.
Once his spiritual energy had settled slightly, Chen Xuan suddenly smiled, slowly stood up, and waved his hand at the protective array in front of him—the pale golden array light receded like a tide, revealing the Pure World White Lotus floating behind him.
The black-armored youth and the white-clad girl were stunned for a moment. Just as a hint of "knowing what's good for them" appeared in their eyes, they were frozen in place by Chen Xuan's words.
"Are you going to attack together, or one at a time?" Chen Xuan clenched his fist, and two Beiming swords appeared in his palm with a humming sound. The dark blue light flowing from the swords reflected in his calm eyes. "In my opinion, you should attack together—otherwise, you might not have a chance to make a move."
"Outrageous! Take this!"
The black-armored youth roared, his dragon might surging, and with a single step he traversed several miles of void. The divine spear in his hand tore through the air, carrying a sharp whistle like a dragon's roar, and in the blink of an eye it was aimed at Chen Xuan's brow.
The speed was so fast that it almost left a afterimage, clearly indicating that he was truly enraged.
"Not bad speed, but still not enough." Chen Xuan slightly flipped his wrist, and his left hand used the Beiming Sword to accurately block the spear tip. With a crisp "ding", sparks flew, and in the instant, his right hand sword turned into a cold light, slashing straight at the white-clad girl in the distance.
"You're courting death!" The girl in white didn't expect Chen Xuan to dare to be distracted and attack her. Her eyes suddenly turned fierce, and she drew her blood-red divine sword in a sword flower, charging towards the cold light of the Northern Darkness Sword. The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, instantly surrounded Chen Xuan.
Those in the know can see the difference; after only three breaths of exchanging blows, the black-armored youth and the white-clad girl's expressions changed.
Chen Xuan's sword moves seemed ordinary, but each strike exploited the weaknesses in their moves. Even though he was not at his peak at the moment, his two swords, combined with the Great Dao of Sword, allowed him to deal with the two's combined attack with ease.
Even when the black-armored youth was careless, the Beiming Sword slashed his shoulder, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound that instantly stained his black armor with blood.
Dozens of rounds passed in the blink of an eye, the void filled with the crisp sounds of weapons clashing and ripples of spiritual energy exploding.
"With this little strength, you dare to compete for the Pure World White Lotus body?" Chen Xuan sheathed his sword and took half a step back, his gaze sweeping indifferently over the two men with solemn expressions. "There's no need to continue this battle—I'll take the White Lotus body, and you each take a portion of the divine substance, how about that?"
