Originally, Jiang Shuchan was standing in the distance before and seemed to be doing nothing. But while Chen Chao and Xi Qiuchen were fighting, she was quietly setting up a killing formation

She had always had a way to completely kill Chen Chao. It was just that she had never told anyone. Xi Qiuchen coveted her and used it to blackmail her into doing these things. She had long seen through it, but she did not show any signs. What she wanted was to let Xi Qiuchen die at Chen Chao's hands and then kill Chen Chao herself.

If that happened, it would be the best outcome.

The present situation was currently developing according to Jiang Shuchan's plan.

Xi Qiuchen is already dead at the Chen Chao's hands, and she had already set up a killing formation by the lake. Before long, Chen Chao would die here too.

Chen Chao looked at Jiang Shuchan and said, "You and that person surnamed Yan are truly alike."

Jiang Shuchan responded indifferently, "That's because she was my best friend."

Chen Chao wiped the blood off his broken saber and smiled, "Then you will be able to reunite with her soon."

Jiang Shuchan looked around and sneered as she said, "Although this killing formation is nothing impressive, you're completely incapable of breaking it."

She had made thorough preparations to kill Chen Chao here and totally did not believe that he could break through.

Chen Chao glanced at Jiang Shuchan and remained silent.

His previous words were just to buy some time. His injuries were not serious, and he did not pay any price when killing Xi Qiuchen. His current condition was still pretty good. Even if he knew he was trapped in a killing formation, he was not overly panicky either.

As a martial artist, Chen Chao did not have any other means.

Jiang Shuchan did not say anything more. With the passage of time, the killing formation she set up started to operate. Chen Chao instantly felt the stagnation in the air. Then, it temporarily locked onto him who was trapped in the killing formation.

A sudden killing intent emerged behind him, fast and unexpected.

The killing intent which felt corporeal came crashing down at high speed, but it was slow compared to Song Changxi's lightning spell from before.

Chen Chao dodged it with ease.

Jiang Shuchan frowned slightly.

Then, several more killing intents emerged simultaneously.

They all attached Chen Chao at the same time.

Since the killing formation was presided over by Jiang Shuchan, it naturally was not too powerful, but it was enough to trap any Divine Trove cultivator to death. Because no one could dodge so many killing intents.

Those crisscrossing bursts of killing intents were impossible for an ordinary person to dodge.

However, Jiang Shuchan quickly realized that she seemed to be mistaken.

The young man in front of her seemed to be able to naturally perceive those killing intents and not a single one could land on his body.

Dodging a surge of killing intent, Chen Chao stood in place without being in a hurry to do something.. This killing formation was actually quite simple, perhaps in other words, one could describe it as a simplified form of Great Dao. It used the aura of heaven and earth, transforming it into streams of killing intent to kill people. The killing intents were born too suddenly and rapidly. Most Divine Trove cultivators probably could not last more than a few waves of killing intent before completely dying in this killing formation.

But Chen Chao had always been an exception.

His sensitivity to killing intent had long reached a terrifying level that Jiang Shuchan could not comprehend.

Chen Chao lightly spat out a turbid breath and looked at Jiang Shuchan, whose expression had turned ugly. Then, he took a step forward.

The lake suddenly started to tremble.

Jiang Shuchan frowned. When she looked up, a pitch-black saber light suddenly appeared!

Then she heard a stabbing sound.

Jiang Shuchan stumbled back a few steps, feeling a sharp pain in her heart, and her aura instantly became chaotic.

The killing formation was connected to her mind, so feeling this intense pain meant that the young man in front of her had already broken through the killing formation.

But, how was this possible?!

Jiang Shuchan was extremely confident in this killing formation and never thought that Chen Chao could break through it. But the reality now was that the killing formation she was proud of posed no obstacle to Chen Chao whatsoever.

The current reality felt like a slap on her face, burning hot.

But before she could react, the young man in black who had already bashed his way out had arrived in front of her and threw a punch.

A continuous sound of thunder instantly sounded out by the lakeside and waves splashed up in the center of the lake.

Before Jiang Shuchan could react, the broken saber in Chen Chao's hand had already slashed out.

A visible saber energy emerged between the two of them, instantly tearing the sky apart.

For the path of Martial Dao, to martial artists, most routes were actually quite similar. The foundation lay in tempering the bones and tendons, while the rest relied on the circulation of qi within the body, how to connect and transmit it. These were extremely complicated matters and most martial artists who could consider these things well were already among the best.

When Chen Chao threw a punch earlier, followed immediately by a saber strike, the seamless connection and circulation of qi was not a realm that ordinary martial artists could achieve.

This was the result borne from killing demons countless times in the mountains.

This saber was like a thunderbolt. When the blade passed by, a short-lived black arc would appear between heaven and earth, as if it was meant to separate them. The power of this saber was incredible and Jiang Shuchan had no way of evading it in a short time. She just pressed down with both hands and several rays of brilliance simultaneously surged out from her sleeves, descending at the same time!

The saber edge was being suppressed.

Chen Chao's expression remained unchanged. Jiang Shuchan's cultivation realm was actually not low, surpassing Xi Qiuchen by more than a bit among Divine Trove Realms. If she had chosen to join forces with Xi Qiuchen earlier, it would have undoubtedly caused Chen Chao a lot of trouble. Unfortunately, this woman fancied herself smart, only deciding to make a move after both Xi Qiuchen and Chen Chao were both wounded and weakened.

Since that was the case, Chen Chao had nothing more to say. Since this woman wanted to set up a big scheme to kill him, then it was certain that no one was paying attention over here anymore. Even if someone was still paying attention here at this moment, it did not matter either.

Since this woman wanted to kill him, why could he not kill her first?

Would it end after killing Xi Qiuchen?

There was no such logic.

After Jiang Shuchan suppressed that saber strike, a bright moon rose gradually from the ground behind her, shining brilliantly.

The pure and bright moon was exceptionally dazzling.

Holding the broken saber, Chen Chao gave a cold laugh. No matter how versatile you immortal cultivators' daoist techniques, I will cut you down with a single slash!

A black rainbow surged toward the sky!

Jiang Shuchan's qi in front of her instantly shattered. She was directly struck in the chest by this slash, and then the saber energy pushed her, causing her to fly backward and shatter the bright moon behind her!

As Jiang Shuchan was flying backward, she looked down and saw her blood-soaked chest.

This saber strike nearly took her life.

Her face turned pale. Then, she slowly raised her head.

A figure instantly appeared in front of her and threw a punch.

That punch showed no mercy or tenderness towards a lady and it targeted precisely the wound left by Chen Chao's previous slash.

Jiang Shuchan had nowhere to hide or evade. She was hit in the chest and the qi within her body scattered.

Her entire body instantly became limp and weak, looking like a pile of mud.

However, the hatred in her eyes remained undiminished. At this moment, she had no intention of showing weakness.

But compared to that Zuo Qing previously, she had a lot more backbone.

Chen Chao stared at the woman in front of him and did not say a word. After shattering her breastbone with a punch, he immediately swung the broken saber in his hand.

He intended to finish off this cunning and ruthless woman who was no less insidious than Yan Ruoshui.

"Stop!"

A loud cry sounded out from a distance!

A man arrived by the lake, his expression changing slightly when he saw this scene.

Chen Chao turned a deaf ear to it and just delivered his strike. With a raise of his hand, the saber fell!

After completing all of this, Chen Chao finally raised his head and looked at the man who appeared out of nowhere.

His expression was calm and the broken saber in his hand was still dripping with blood.
