Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation Chapter 1061: Azure Dragon Chasing the Sun

How could Xiao Chen just watch the Golden Crow, which he had anticipated for so many years, fly away at the critical moment?
Xiao Chen’s face sank as he quickly gave chase.
The two suns competed in splendor, showing a brilliant and varied mysterious phenomenon. Fortunately, this was the Deserted Sea. If this were somewhere else, the sight might attract trouble.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
With every step Xiao Chen took above the vast sea, he kicked up countless towering waves. He moved like a dragon, weaving through the waves.
Gusts blew and huge waves billowed continuously. Xiao Chen looked at the Golden Crow spreading its wings in the air, his heart filled with shock and joy.
The joyful thing was that the Golden Crow had just hatched, and it already possessed such speed. Even when Xiao Chen executed his Movement Technique to its limits, nearly tearing space apart, he could only keep up and make sure he did not lose it.
The shocking thing was that, if the Golden Crow kept flying this way, it would really be able to escape.
The fortunate thing was that the Golden Crow’s intelligence had not developed yet. It only flew on instinct. If it knew how to tear through the barrier of the sky, it would have flown out to the Starry Heavens long ago.
If that happened, the number of variables would increase. At least, for now, there would not be any others in the Deserted Sea, no one to compete with him.
As Xiao Chen ran, the blazing sun rose and set. Seven days passed in such a manner, but night never fell.
This was for no other reason than the Golden Crow’s presence, which meant the light of the sun never disappeared.
Even after running so intensely for seven days, Xiao Chen did not tire. However, if he kept running like that, he would exit the Deserted Sea soon.
As for what was outside the Deserted Sea, the sea map did not say, so Xiao Chen did not know, either.
If Xiao Chen met with an expert, he would be in trouble.
Just at this moment, he suddenly picked up extreme horror from the Golden Crow.
Xiao Chen looked up and saw an arrow carrying a strong force heading rapidly towards the Golden Crow in the sky.
If this arrow struck the newly hatched Golden Crow, it would die for sure.
Oh no! Xiao Chen thought to himself.
It looked like he was going to have to use tenfold combat prowess once more.
Even though Xiao Chen clearly knew that given his body’s situation, he should not use such a heaven-defying thing like tenfold combat prowess, he had no choice but to use it at this moment.
Clenching his teeth, he executed Myriad Heaven Divine Fist, Deities Descending as he ran.
A divine light tore through the sky and entered his body. Then, he shouted and leaped up from the sea.
The emotions that Xiao Chen had kept suppressed for seven days erupted at this moment.
One hundred Heavenly Dragon images appeared behind him. All of them roared together, bursting out with a shocking aura. The shock wave that surged out blasted the seawater for fifty kilometers around into the air, creating a fantastic scene.
Amid the rampaging seawater, Xiao Chen soared up. Small spatial cracks appeared as he flew higher.
He moved like a beam of light, breaking through the speed limit. Then, he appeared behind the Golden Crow and snagged it, catching hold of the palm-sized chick with his hand.
Before Xiao Chen could check out the Golden Crow, that arrow tearing through the sky already arrived.
He squinted and forcefully grabbed it with his left hand, firmly clamping on the arrow shaft.
A layer of skin immediately tore on his hand, accompanied by burning pain and a jarring impact.
Xiao Chen roared and pushed off the air with his feet. The strength of a quasi-Emperor erupted out, driving the power of the world.
No matter how strong the force behind this arrow was, Xiao Chen’s body remained fixed in the air.
Then, he looked in the direction that the arrow came from. At the highest point of an island ten kilometers away, a boorish and bold man drew back on his bow and prepared a second shot.
Xiao Chen’s eyes turned cold as he swung his hand. The arrow in his left hand shot back at an even faster speed.
This counter clearly startled the boorish man. However, his reaction was extremely fast as well. He pushed off with his feet and flew back.
“Boom!”
When the arrow that Xiao Chen threw struck the mountain below that man, it shattered and turned into rubble.
“Whoosh!”
When the mountain shattered, dust filled the air. A beam of light tore through the dust cloud, heading rapidly for Xiao Chen.
It was that boorish man. As he retreated, he did not stop drawing back on his bow.
Xiao Chen frowned. This person’s archery skills were extremely frightening, forcing Xiao Chen to use the strength of a quasi-Emperor to block it.
The Heavenly Laws around his dantian quickly drained as he stepped forward. Space seemed to blur, showing all sorts of scenes.
Using the power of the world, Xiao Chen kicked, escaping danger by a hair’s breadth as he kicked the arrow.
“Pu! Pu! Pu!”
Sonic booms resounded. Nine arrows appeared in the distance, all coming from different directions and different angles.
He did not know what kind of secret technique this was. The arrows actually contained the power of the world as well.
This engendered a faint impression that the arrows carried the world and space along with them.
This was not all there was to the arrows’ tricks. The angles at which the nine arrows flew occupied an area, forming an enclosure.
No matter how Xiao Chen retreated, the world would move with him. The nine arrows would always remain locked on to him.
His expression turned slightly grave. The Golden Crow in his hand trembled. After flying for seven days straight, the chick fainted when it relaxed.
Xiao Chen cradled the Golden Crow and pushed off the air with his feet. Then, his body started spinning backward.
A bright moon like fire, drifting red peach blossoms, a blazing hot sun, and withered falling leaves, all sorts of mysterious phenomena came out from Xiao Chen’s body.
Using his Heavenly Laws, Xiao Chen executed Instant of Glory, merging with the world.
The various mysterious phenomena and grand scenes all seemed to turn real. They lost some beauty but gained a natural and complete feeling.
The moment Xiao Chen drew the saber, a light flared—eternal glory in that instant as the saber light swept through the place.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Rapid-fire explosions rang out. The nine arrows chasing after Xiao Chen shattered in the air. The boundless might disappeared.
Quick, go. After you pass the Deserted Sea, you will arrive at the sea domain ruled by Myriad Fiend Island, an Immortal Holy Land, Ao Jiao warned from the Immortal Spirit Ring.
Xiao Chen sheathed his saber and performed a backward somersault in the air, flying back by ten kilometers. As his body spun, it gave off drifting electric light. Howling lightning dragons moved into the distance.
On the small island, that boorish man drew the bowstring back again and aimed into the distance. Xiao Chen was only a tiny black dot to him, but he still did not give up on his target.
As the boorish man slowly drew back the bowstring, thunder roared in the sky, echoing everywhere.
A vertical eye opened up on the boorish man’s forehead. Xiao Chen, who was originally only a small black dot to him, expanded in his vision. It was like space foreshortened, pulling Xiao Chen’s figure closer.
When this man saw Xiao Chen clearly, he released the arrow, which turned into a bolt of lightning chasing after Xiao Chen.
After the boorish man released this arrow, he collapsed from exhaustion. His vertical eye slowly closed, and sweat dotted his forehead. Now, he was so pale that he looked bloodless.
Xiao Chen, who was already over fifty kilometers away, suddenly felt his heart sink. Reacting very quickly, he turned around and braced his saber across his chest without stopping to think at all.
“Pu ci!”
The scabbard of the saber blocked the arrow. Xiao Chen went flying back one kilometer over the water, kicking up huge waves.
He paled slightly. Cracks appeared in his internal organs, and intense pain swept through his body. After he spat out some blood, he felt much better.
“You’re not done yet?”
When the force behind the arrow dispersed, Xiao Chen swung the scabbard, flinging the arrow aside. Then, he spun around and threw a palm strike from fifty kilometers away.
A bright moon rose up behind him. This moon was like fire, burning with hot-bloodedness, never extinguishing.
It spoke of joy and grief, the pain of separation, the lofty aspirations, and hot-bloodedness.
The wine was a red that caused intoxication; the blood was a beautiful fire. Thousand Year Flame always had lofty aspirations. At the end of it were joy and grief.
---
Aside from that boorish man, two other people were on that island: one man and one lady.
The lady aside, Xiao Chen was familiar with the man. It was the top talent pursuing the way of the killing sword, Yan Shisan.
“This person is very powerful. He looks very young, yet he could break Second Brother’s Nine Stars Shattering Sun. Even after Second Brother opened his Heavenly Eye and used his strongest move, he still could not keep that person here,” said the lady, who gave off a mature charm, after gasping in surprise when she looked into the distance and noticed that Xiao Chen had intercepted the arrow.
The archer was called Mu Qingyun. He appeared very fatigued as he smiled bitterly. “After being in closed-door cultivation for so many years at Myriad Fiend Island, I thought that no one in the same generation, except for First Brother, could defeat me. Unexpectedly, even before leaving Myriad Fiend Island, I received such a blow.
“Brother Shisan, you have been wandering the Heavenly Starry Ocean for the past few years. Are the experts of the same generation from the Heavenly Starry Ocean really that incredible?”
Even after Mu Qingyun used all his power and his best move, exposing his trump card, the arrow that he was the most confident in still got blocked by his opponent.
Mu Qingyun could not help but feel depressed. He even started to have huge doubts about his strength.
Yan Shisan did not show any expression on his grave and stern face. He replied calmly, “How can that be? It is just that you hit someone you should not have. The one your arrow injured is the Azure Dragon King, Xiao Chen. As far as I know, within the same generation, this is the first time he suffered so much. You can be proud of yourself already.”
“He is the Azure Dragon King Xiao Chen?!” The girl appeared clearly startled.
When Mu Qingyun heard that, he did not know whether to laugh or cry. With Yan Shisan’s character, he absolutely would not fawn on people. By saying this, Yan Shisan was praising him. It was true that he could be proud of this.
However, given Mu Qingyun’s proud character, he simply could not be happy about this praise when his trump card could only injure the other party.
Suddenly, Yan Shisan’s expression changed slightly as he shouted, “Get back!”
However, the instant he spoke, it was already too late. Night suddenly fell, and a bright moon soared into the sky. The fiery moon lit up the night sky, illuminating the island under them.
Countless people leaped out from the full moon. Each figure showed an unrestrained and uninhibited smile, displaying lofty ambition with a pride higher than the sky.
A resonant song rang in the air, the people singing to the moon and making merry with wine. Laughter, grief, and joy lingered on the breeze along with feelings of separation and reunion.
The world may be drunk; I alone am sober. Others find me unfathomable, laughing at me for being too insane. I’m filled with madness and an unyielding character.
Thousand Year Flame, ten thousand people chopping. The moon exists alone, I run wild alone!
The thousands of figures all threw a palm strike at the same time. The small island fifty kilometers away shattered in that instant as the blow hit the man holding the bow.
Mu Qingyun’s internal organs ruptured, and he leaked blood from all the orifices of his head. If not for the armor he wore, he would have vanished together with the island, disappearing like smoke, dying without a corpse.
Yan Shisan and that lady suffered from less pressure. Furthermore, they were still in their peak states. Thus, they only drifted far away on the shock wave of the island’s shattering.
