Chapter 257 Returning, Martial Arts Is Covered in Dust, and It’s Hard to Wash Away the Glory (5K)

A few hours ago.

Li Mu'e traveled thousands of miles to arrive at Shouyang City.

She didn't know about this at first. She has been fighting against the Demon Alliance for more than ten years.

Either on the way to chase monsters, or on the way to be chased by monsters, almost always hovering on the edge of life and death.

The place where the Demon Alliance is stationed and hidden is very desolate and isolated from the world all year round.

This resulted in her rarely returning to human cities and wandering around in rarely visited places every day.

Even if there is a battle at Shouyang Mountain, no warrior in the Shengyuan Kingdom knows about it. No warrior knows about it, and Li Mu'e has never heard of it.

Until one time when she was chasing a monster, she overheard the monster discussing the battle at Shouyang Mountain. A familiar name fell into her ears, causing her heart to waver after she had been silent for more than ten years.

Only then did Li Mu'e know that Su Chen had achieved such a great reputation after not seeing him for more than ten years.

But soon, she found out the whole story.

Anticipating that Su Chen was in danger, she walked out of the mountain and prepared to go to help.

Fortunately, her location was not too far from the Ziyang Sect. It took her more than half a month to reach the Ziyang Sect.

Just when she was about to go near Shouyang City to inquire about Shouyang Mountain, her sister told her that she sensed Su Chen's aura.

To be precise, he sensed the aura of the Sky-Breaking Sword.

Li Mu'e was stunned when she heard the news. She must know that the entire Shengyuan Kingdom is looking for Su Chen and looking forward to his appearance.

Today was the last day of the deadline. Everyone had almost given up their expectations, thinking that Su Chen would not show up. Unexpectedly, she bumped into Su Chen halfway.

Li Mu'e, who was well aware of the seriousness of the problem, quickly urged Demon Slayer Sword to take her to find Su Chen.

The process went very smoothly, and it took almost no time. With the help of the Demon Slayer Sword, Li Mu'e met Su Chen.

only……

Looking at Su Chen's appearance in front of her, she couldn't believe it. Is this still the high-spirited Su Chen back then?

After more than ten years of killing, her heart was already extremely cold, but the moment she saw Su Chen, she felt a surge of sadness.

Li Mu'e looked at Su Chen. There was no pity or sympathy, but only distress.

Along the way, she already knew what it meant to fight in Shouyang Mountain.

What was once glory has now become a shackle, binding the man in front of him.

Li Mu'e stopped Su Chen, who was walking slowly and like a dying man, with a firm look on his beautiful face: "You can't go to Shouyang Mountain."

"Why?" Su Chen raised his cloudy eyes and asked eloquently.

If you go there, you will die!

Li Mu'e opened her mouth, but never said this sentence.

Su Chen chuckled as if he had expected it: "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Li Mu'e did not step aside, her beautiful eyebrows were furrowed, and she stood in front of Su Chen with a determined look on her face.

Just as Su Chen persuaded her back then, she also wanted to persuade Su Chen now.

"What if I don't come back now?" Li Mu'e tried to persuade Su Chen to give up his thoughts.

Then you'll never come back!

Su Chen shook his head and did not say such inappropriate words, but affirmed again: "I will be fine."

His eyes had the same persistent brilliance as Li Mu'e's back then.

Li Mu'e stared at Su Chen and said nothing for a long time.

Immediately, she sighed in her heart. In the confrontation with Su Chen, she was always the first to give in.

This was the case when he was promoted to Demon Slayer Sword, and it is the same now.

But she also knew that this was Su Chen's own choice. She could interfere, but she couldn't make the decision for Su Chen.

So, she gave in.

The figure retreated, leaving an unknown path for Su Chen.

Seeing this, Su Chen nodded with a smile and stepped forward.

Zheng.

The demon-slaying sword came out of its scabbard and hung in front of Su Chen with a hiss. It was making the same choice as Li Mu'e.

"Sister, let him go."

Before Su Chen could speak, Li Mu'e came to his rescue.

Zheng.

Demon Slayer Sword made a dissatisfied sound and tried to communicate with Su Chen.

But when the power of her divine weapon entered Su Chen, it was like a drop of water melting into the sea, silently.

Su Chen is rejecting her communication!

Clang clank.

The demon-slaying sword energy trembled, shaking violently in front of Su Chen, and released a force of divine weapon.

Not seen for more than ten years, the demon-slaying sword has transformed into a top-notch divine weapon, comparable to a warrior in the divine realm, and its strength can be said to be tyrannical.

Once the power of the divine weapon was revealed, a huge light curtain was erected in front of Su Chen, cutting off the path ahead.

"Sister, just as I chose to leave, he is making the same choice now. If you can stop his person, but not his heart, he will still appear after all." Li Mu'e persuaded the demon-slaying sword.

Perhaps Li Mu'e's persuasion was effective. After a moment of stalemate, the demon-slaying sword converged its light and slowly fell.

As if out of anger, he returned to the scabbard without making any reaction.

"Thank you." Su Chen turned around and thanked him.

Li Mu'e shook her head and said, "I'll wait for you at Shouyang Mountain."

She didn't understand why Su Chen walked towards Shouyang Mountain step by step, but she didn't ask any more questions.

"Su Chen, here we come!"

An exclamation brought Li Mu'e back from her memories, Su Chen was here!

There were bursts of uproar from the crowd, and then they dispersed to make way for a path.

All eyes are focused on this road at this moment.

At the end of the road, a blurry figure gradually reflected in everyone's eyes. When it was completely revealed, everyone was speechless.

"He, he is Su Chen? How is that possible!"

"Why does he look so old? What has he experienced in the past ten years?"

"And the aura on his body is so weird. He feels like an ordinary person..."

"You feel this way too? I thought I was wrong."

"Could it be that Su Chen failed to understand the true meaning of martial arts, so he became like this."

"I think it's not just a failure, it's even more serious. He's lost all his cultivation, and he seems to have become a useless person."

"Then what else is he doing here? To humiliate himself?"

"..."

Discussions raged with Su Chen's appearance, and all the warriors were shocked by the Su Chen in front of them.

Not only was he surprised by the change in Su Chen's appearance, he was also surprised by the change in Su Chen's aura.

Su Chen was like a twilight old man. He didn't exude any aura of a warrior, and even walking seemed to be difficult.

"My benefactor, you..."

As soon as Zhu Yan and Zu Peng saw Su Chen, they couldn't wait to come to him.

But when they saw Su Chen, all their words were unconsciously held deep in their throats, making it difficult to speak.

Su Chen raised his eyes slightly and looked at a few people.

Fang Rou, Zhu Yan, Zu Peng, Shang Shuo, Xie Sui... are all old acquaintances.

A smile couldn't help but appear on his face, and he comforted several people: "I'm fine."

No one spoke, they all looked at Su Chen with complicated expressions. With such a miserable look, even Zhu Yan didn't think that Su Chen was okay.

Then, Su Chen turned to the others.

Yuanwu, Jue Wuya, Jian Wuxiao, Jie Wuyou, Shi Tianyi, Yin Sisi, Nie Long... Fortunately, their appearance has not changed much, and Su Chen still has an impression.

At this time, they were also looking at Su Chen with different expressions.

"Su Chen, you have turned into this, and you still dare to show up. I have to admire your courage." Duan Feng gloated.

But then, he changed the topic, and a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes: "But no matter what you become, you can never leave safely today!"

"Duan Feng, there is no need for my benefactor to take action today. I will teach you your clever tricks!" Zhu Yan strode forward with raised eyebrows.

After Duan Feng heard this, he laughed openly and said, "Su Chen, do you just dare to hide behind others?"

Hearing this, the eyes of Zhu Yan, Zu Peng, Li Mu'e, Su Rou and others became sharp, and they all fell on Duan Feng.

Feeling the strong pressure from these people, the smile on Duan Feng's face froze, but the contempt in his eyes grew stronger.

"He's right. This matter started with me, so it should end with me. Don't interfere." Su Chen agreed with Duan Feng's words.

But when these words fell on everyone's ears, their expressions changed.

Zhu Yan and others looked worried and wanted to persuade Su Chen, Yuan Wu and others looked on with cold expressions, and the onlookers had complicated expressions.

Ignoring everyone's expressions, Su Chen took a step forward and said, "I defeated so many people back then that I can't even remember them. Who wants to fight?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expression suddenly changed.

Does this guy still dare to provoke Yuan Wu and others with such arrogant words?

The faces of Yuan Wu and others became extremely ugly.

Su Chen's words undoubtedly exposed the scars of Yuan Wu and others nakedly in front of everyone.

Jue Wuya took the lead and couldn't help shouting: "Why do others need to take action, Su Chen, I can subdue you by myself!"

"And me!" Jian Wuxiao then said, the power of the Yuan Fei surged, and he didn't want to give up Su Chen.

Corpse Puppet Sect Jie Wuyou stepped forward without saying a word, his actions revealed his thoughts.

Then, more than ten warriors stepped forward one after another, showing their aura, all without saying a word.

Nie Long was ready to make a move, but because Yin Sisi never spoke, he was just anxious and did not make any move.

"That's all, with you looking like this, there's no point in me taking action."

Noticing Fang Rou's pleading eyes, and then looking at Su Chen's appearance, Yin Sisi sighed softly and chose to give up.

"Then I... listen to Sisi." Nie Long immediately hummed in agreement like an eggplant beaten by frost.

As Yin Sisi and Nie Long gave up, some warriors who had little grudge against Su Chen also gave up one after another.

Of course, these numbers are just a drop in the ocean, a drop in the bucket.

At this time, everyone's eyes turned to Yuan Wu. Until now, he just watched without saying a word.

Yuanwu said calmly: "I have no interest in taking action against a useless person."

"Really?" Su Chen looked at Yuan Wu and others not far away and said softly.

No one on the field could see his change.

He didn't hide it, he took a step forward, and the aura on his body suddenly changed.

If Su Chen was a piece of rusty iron before, now he is an unsheathed sword.

Exuding a sharp momentum.

This change instantly aroused everyone's attention. They looked at Su Chen with astonishment on their faces.

Change has just begun.

Under the attention of everyone, Su Chen took another step forward, and the aura on his body changed again.

The sword that had been in the dust for ten years was unsheathed at this moment.

I have been sharpening my sword for ten years and now I am trying my best!

An unparalleled sharp energy rippled from Su Chen's body and spread out in all directions, suppressing the energy and blood of the warriors present and stagnating.

Feeling this change, Yuan Wu's indifferent expression just now became a bit moved.

The changes are not over yet.

Then, Su Chen slowly moved forward.

With every step he took, the aura of time brewing in Su Chen's body dissipated a little, like a dead tree blooming with new energy.

The body is no longer old, the eyes are no longer cloudy, and the movements are no longer stiff...

It's back, it's all back, everything's back!

In a daze, everyone seemed to see Su Chen from ten years ago, now standing in front of them alive.

With each step, the aura on his body becomes stronger and stronger. The state accumulated for ten years is erupting like a volcano at this moment.

Tongmai, gathering Yuan, potential realm, Yuanshen...

Until the soul reached the state of perfection, Su Chen's aura reached its peak.

"How can it be!"

The old man who had been watching Su Chen exclaimed in surprise, but no one cared at this moment.

He stared at Su Chen in astonishment, and the shock in his eyes became more intense the more he looked at her.

"Hunyuan is one, the inner saint and the outer king. His body and spirit have reached such a perfect state!"

Although he is an alchemist, he has extensive knowledge and knowledge. He is not only familiar with Yuanli Martial Arts, but also Tiandan Martial Arts and Demonic Soul Martial Arts.

Putting aside Su Chen's vast Yuan Power for the moment, what shocked him was Su Chen's body and spirit.

The physical body is pure and flawless, just like a pure elixir. Even if it is not perfect, it is still perfect.

The soul is perfect and unparalleled, and its essence is pure. It seems to have been polished thousands of times, and it is purer than ordinary Dharma Realm warriors.

However, what amazed him even more was that the physical body and the soul were so coordinated and tended to be perfectly compatible.

You must know that such changes are often a vision that only Wanshou realm warriors can possess, but Su Chen actually achieved it in the Yuanshen realm.

Even a well-informed person like him can't help but feel frightened.

At this moment, the way he looked at Su Chen changed, and there was depth inside and outside.

Just like him, there are many elder-level warriors hiding in the dark.

The battle at Shouyang Mountain attracted not only disciples from various sects, but also elders from various sects, but they hid in the dark and did not show up.

Seeing Su Chen's change this time, everyone's eyes froze.

"What a good boy, I used the divine weapons to seal off my profound veins and blood, and re-cultivate my martial arts. From the looks of it, I don't know how many times I have re-cultivated my martial arts. Although I am a Yuan Shen realm warrior, I am still not inferior even against a master of the Divine Realm!"

Some elders of the sect exclaimed in amazement. They did not expect that Su Chen would have such courage to find a new way to practice martial arts again.

"It's a pity that if this boy understands the true meaning of martial arts, he will be the second Ji Ziyang in our Ziyang Sect!"

Although he admired Su Chen's courage, looking at the situation before him, Su Chen still did not understand the true meaning of martial arts.

Without understanding the true meaning of martial arts, no matter how strong the Yuan Li is, he will not be able to take a step further on the road to martial arts.

This is a flaw that no one can solve.

"Martial arts are covered in dust, and it's hard to wash away the fine work!" The elder sighed deeply, feeling sorry for Su Chen.

Su Chen turned a deaf ear.

He glanced at the entire audience. Except for a few people, no one dared to look at him. They were all shocked by the sudden pressure on him.

Most of the people present were Yuanshen realm warriors, but they were surprised to find that facing Su Chen's pressure from the Yuanshen realm, they couldn't think of any resistance in their hearts, as if they were surrendering willingly.

Such a change made everyone's hearts tremble. Su Chen was obviously a Yuanshen Realm warrior, but it brought them oppression that even a Divine Realm warrior could not achieve.

How can this be!

Even Yuanwu and Juewuya couldn't accept it.

Even as a warrior of the divine realm, when facing the pressure of Su Chen's soul, he felt a faint feeling of surrender.

This made them extremely angry, and a majestic aura surged around them unconsciously, and they fought against Su Chen from afar.

Jue Wuya even shouted loudly: "Su Chen, now that you have recovered your strength, do you dare to fight me?"

He saw anger in his eyes, thinking that Su Chen had understood the true meaning of martial arts, but he never expected that he would still be a Yuanshen realm warrior.

A Yuanshen realm warrior almost caused him to lose face, which made him extremely angry and wanted to take action.

After hearing this, everyone turned to Su Chen, strange expressions surging on their cheeks.

In twelve years, from the great achievement of the Yuanshen to the perfection of the Yuanshen, it can no longer be described as slow, but as slow as a turtle.

Not to mention compared to Yuan Wu, Jue Wu Ya and others, even ordinary genius warriors such as Duan Feng cannot compare.

Su Chen has fallen!

Everyone had the same thought in their hearts. Su Chen, who was once so famous, had fallen and became worse than an ordinary talented warrior.

"good!"

Facing Jue Wuya's provocation, Su Chenyun replied calmly.

The moment the voice fell, Su Chen took action directly, even faster than Jue Wuya.

Seeing this scene, Jue Wuya snorted.

Su Chen only had this low-grade method left. He thought he could win by striking first. He really didn't know what to say!

"Um?"

Yuan Wu looked at Su Chen's extremely simple move with a look of doubt in his eyes. In less than half an instant, the look of doubt quickly turned into a look of shock.

Snapped!

Under the astonished eyes of everyone, a figure flew out awkwardly, breaking through the heavy air, and slammed into the peak of Shouyang Mountain, making a deafening sound and stirring up dust dozens of feet high.

No one expected that Jue Wuya, who had understood the true meaning of martial arts, was slapped away by Su Chen before he even had time to scream.

This scene happened extremely quickly, but the flying figure was etched deep in everyone's memory.

At the beginning, Jue Wuya seemed to have been knocked out by such a slap. It was so similar to this scene now!

"Bastard!" Jue Wuya roared and flew out, glaring at Su Chen angrily.

He was careless, and he didn't expect that Su Chen could defeat him with just his Yuan Power.

"Come again!" The voice fell, and Jue Wuya was about to take action again.

But at this moment, a figure rushed out first, and Jian Wuxiao's voice came: "Jue Wuya, you are no match for Su Chen, then let me do it!"

He incarnates thousands of swords, and each sword is extremely sharp and exudes sword intent.

This is not the intention of the divine weapon, but the true meaning of martial arts that Jian Wuxiao blessed on the sword of the Yuan Fei, and the true meaning manifested after the sword of the Yuan Fei merged with the Yuan Shen!

Once it was revealed, it carried a torrential power, like a mountain of ten thousand swords exploding towards Su Chen.
