Saint Sovereign of Nine Heavens

Situ Lan had been on her guard against Chen Yu the whole time. She stood in the cave with the Reverse Circulation Sword in her hand and pointed the sword at Chen Yu. However, the light from her vestment had dimmed, and the watery aura flowing around her body like armor had disappeared.    

    

Chen Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at Situ Lan. For the time being, he had no intention of attacking again.    

    

The defense of the Water Spirit Robe on Situ Lan's body was really powerful. Normal attacks could not break through its defense. Chen Yu's skills were limited, so he could not come up with any good methods to deal with it.    

    

Of course, Situ Lan also took into consideration the power of Chen Yu's Sparrow Fire Sword and didn't want to force Chen Yu into a corner before he escaped.    

    

The two of them carried their own thoughts and fell into silence. On the other hand, the four common practitioners who were initially inside the Ice Hole were doing their utmost to dig the cave entrance, hoping to escape as soon as possible.    

    

A few minutes later, after digging about four to five meters away, a long sword appeared at the place of collapse. It was the Arc Moon Sword that was struck away by Situ Lan's Reverse Circulation Sword earlier.    

    

"Give me the sword!"    

    

The skinny warrior pulled out the Arc Moon Sword and carefully circled around Situ Lan, handing the muddy Arc Moon Sword over to Chen Yu.    

    

Chen Yu smiled at the skinny warrior, took out a cloth and wiped the Arc Moon Sword.    

    

Throughout the entire process, Situ Lan's eyes flashed as if she wanted to intercept the spiritual tool, but in the end, she didn't.    

    

At that moment, sounds of human language and digging could be heard from outside the collapsed cave.    

    

With both the inside and the outside excavating at the same time, it was not far from the opening.    

    

Soon, the sounds outside became clearer. Chen Yu knew he couldn't wait any longer, so he sighed and stood up. He waved the Sparrow Fire Sword in his hand and a scorching aura rose up.    

    

Situ Lan's eyes narrowed as she shouted harshly, "Mr. Chen, what are you trying to do?"    

    

The four mundane practitioners were also terrified as they stopped digging and looked back.    

    

"Situ Lan, I need you to switch positions with me so that you can move further away from the cave entrance!" Chen Yu said.    

    

Situ Lan was infuriated. "On what grounds?"    

    

Chen Yu said in a deep voice, "According to this digging speed, the hole will be dug out in a few minutes. If I follow you out, you will definitely attack me and block me inside." "Therefore, I must switch positions with you and get out of here before you!"    

    

Situ Lan's expression turned unnatural as she said coldly, "In your dreams, I will definitely kill you today. I will never agree to your request!"    

    

"Then there's no other way!" Chen Yu shook his head and said, "Compared to me being buried alive, I would naturally prefer if you and I were buried alive together. After all, if a genius like you dies here with me, I won't be at a loss! "    

    

As he spoke, Chen Yu took a step forward. The Sparrow Fire Sword's light shone brightly and its aura became blazing as a terrifying high temperature was released. The ice wall within three meters around Chen Yu started to melt at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into water droplets.    

    

Situ Lan's expression couldn't help but change.    

    

"No!" The four secular cultivators couldn't help but cry out in alarm.    

    

"Are you threatening me?" Situ Lan's eyes seemed to be on fire.    

    

"If you say it's a threat, then it's a threat!" Chen Yu wasn't as calm as he appeared, but he knew that he had no other choice. He had to force Situ Lan to switch seats with him. "Situ Lan, if you were me, what would you do?"    

    

What Chen Yu said was exactly what she wanted to do. In her two fights with Chen Yu, she had deeply felt that Chen Yu was very difficult to deal with. If she could trap Chen Yu in the cave, Chen Yu would become a turtle in a jar; it would be much easier to kill Chen Yu!    

    

Unexpectedly, Chen Yu, who looked young, was able to see through her thoughts easily!    

    

Situ Lan stared coldly at Chen Yu and gripped the flexible spirit sword in her hand tightly.    

    

The skinny warrior and the other four warriors looked at each other. Even though the Sparrow Fire Sword had released a blazing aura, the temperature of the Ice Hole was still extremely low. Without a doubt, they also didn't want to die. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been ordered by Chen Yu to obediently dig the hole.    

    

Seeing that Situ Lan was not willing to compromise, Chen Yu was not too surprised. The Supreme Force in his body surged, channeling the Supreme Force into the Sparrow Fire Sword.    

    

Chen Yu didn't have any companions. He was alone at the back. If the second cave entrance collapsed, he would only be trapped to death, so he had to force Situ Lan to compromise.    

    

As the water around Situ Lan's body rippled, the vestment began to take effect again.    

    

Situ Lan's beautiful face was covered with frost as she coldly said, "I'd like to see if you have the courage to do so!"    

    

Chen Yu laughed, his expression was calm but firm, the Sparrow Fire Sword in his hand shook once again, a spiritual light began to converge at once, forming the shape of a sparrow, and this form continued to enlarge.    

    

Under the high temperature emitted by the Sparrow Fire Sword, the melted Ice Hole kept dripping water onto the ground.    

    

Situ Lan watched coldly as the water attribute astral energy from the Water Spirit Armor swirled around her like a stream of real water. It was exceptionally mysterious.    

    

"You're going too far!" Situ Lan's face paled even though she had the protection of the Water Spirit Robe.    

    

Looking at Situ Lan's reaction, Chen Yu was unmoved, but inside, he was overjoyed.    

    

The Sparrow Fire Sword's fiery aura continued to grow explosively, and the light from it had already started to ignite the true flames.    

    

"I beg of you, please stop messing around. If this continues, no one will be able to survive!" A secular disciple cried and begged.    

    

Situ Lan and Chen Yu didn't pay any attention to him. They looked at each other with sharp eyes. One of them had resentment and shame, while the other was indifferent, as if he didn't care about life and death at all.    

    

"You win!" Watching the raging flames continue to soar and the ice above the Ice Hole completely melted while the water on the ground was about to flood her shoes, Situ Lan gritted her teeth and said hatefully.    

    

She finally gave in! She felt ashamed of herself.    

    

Chen Yu let out a long sigh of relief. He retrieved the Spirit Qi that he had injected into the Sparrow Fire Sword, put the Spiritual Soul away, grinned, and said: "It's a wise move. Actually, even if I were to leave this Ice Hole first, I would at most escape. If you want to kill me, you will have plenty of opportunities in the future! "    

    

Situ Lan noticed that Chen Yu, who was arrogant a moment ago, suddenly changed his expression. His expression changed as if he had practiced the legendary Face-Changing Technique. She couldn't help but clench her teeth and make a gurgling sound.    

    

"Now, let's switch locations, don't even think about killing me. I have the Spiritual Soul with me, the might of the Sparrow Fire Sword can be released in an instant!" Chen Yu said casually and walked over to Situ Lan.    

    

Situ Lan's back tensed. She held her Circulatory Sword horizontally in front of her, while her left hand clenched into a fist, ready to strike.    

    

However, Chen Yu casually walked past Situ Lan.    

    

Seeing that Chen Yu was not bothered about exposing his vitals, Situ Lan's hand that was holding the sword had turned white. Her delicate body trembled slightly, but she did not make a move.    

    

"Miss Situ truly values her life more!" After passing by Situ Lan, Chen Yu pulled the distance between him and Situ Lan and said with a mocking smile.    

    

The shame in Situ Lan's eyes was getting stronger and stronger. When she thought about how she had been humiliated repeatedly by Chen Yu, Situ Lan felt a surge of anger, and her head felt like it was about to explode. She almost went crazy on the spot.    

    

Chen Yu smiled and bluntly said, "Now, I need Miss Situ to step back a little, okay?"    

    

Since he had compromised once or twice, it was reasonable for him to compromise for the third time. Therefore, Chen Yu was very confident!    

    

Situ Lan's delicate body continued to tremble, but she gritted her teeth and retreated.    

    

"It seems like we're about to get through!"    

    

"Senior Sister Situ should be fine!"    

    

"Of course, Senior Sister Situ is an expert in Eighth Layer of the Heavenly Astral Stage. That surnamed Chen, how could Evil Bandit be a match for Senior Sister Situ? At this moment, he has most likely been killed by Senior Sister Situ, just a little faster."    

    

"Hurry up and dig!"    

    

The sounds coming from outside could already be heard clearly.    

    

Chen Yu looked at Situ Lan with a faint smile.    

    

A trace of shame flashed across Situ Lan's face. Then, the hatred in her eyes that she looked at Chen Yu with became even deeper.    

    

The thin martial artist and the other four martial artists continued to dig.    

    

Chen Yu retracted his gaze and revealed a pondering expression.    

    

"It's cleared!" Three minutes later, cheers sounded from outside. A hole a few feet long had appeared.    

    

"Alright, continue digging. Dig open the hole!"    

    

"Senior Sister Situ, how are you?"    

    

"Situ!"    

    

Noises came from the outside.    

    

"Goodbye, Senior Sister Situ!" Chen Yu smiled and suddenly leaped, passing by the four warriors and rushing towards the hole.    

    

The four martial artists hastily dodged.    

    

"Someone is rushing out!"    

    

"This Qi doesn't look like Senior Sister Situ's. Be careful, move out of the way!"    

    

"…"    

    

The cave entrance was not big enough to see what was going on inside, but there were people who sensed that something was wrong and shouted out.    

    

But Chen Yu was surprisingly fast. With a scream, he broke through the hole and flew out with a splash of mud.    

    

After only slapping Chen Yu half a beat, Situ Lan moved like the wind as she circulated the water Spiritual Dipper Qi that was like armor around her body and rushed towards the cave entrance.    

    

The next moment, he saw a few warriors who were digging the mud with their swords and sabers. Although someone warned them, they didn't have enough time to react and got hit by Chen Yu.    

    

Peng peng, the few warriors were knocked away by Chen Yu before they could even make a move.    

    

Chen Yu, on the other hand, was completely fine. He didn't even feel any pain from the impact. With the momentum from the impact, he suddenly changed his direction and leaped to the left.    

    

At this time, Chen Yu saw that a lot of warriors were standing around, densely packed together. At first glance, it was impossible to tell how many people were standing there, but most of them were standing outside the mud formed by the collapse.    

    

"It's Evil Bandit with the surname Chen!"    

    

"Attack!"    

    

"Kill him!"    

    

"…"    

    

Although there were some people who were on alert, most of them were still caught off guard. Looking at Chen Yu, who was covered in mud, they were astonished.    

    

Shua, shua, the two warriors at the seventh level of Heavenly Astral Stage moved the fastest, chopping down with their swords and sabers at the same time.    

    

Chen Yu was in the air again as the Sparrow Fire Sword in his hand glowed with a bright light. The fire energy suddenly soared and a gigantic Fire Bird suddenly took shape.
