Then, this youth wearing deep blue Daoist robes turned his gaze to Lin Xinyang beside Chen Yan.
"However, this truly surprises me. Fellow Daoist Lin would actually mingle with a 'murderer.' Could it be that Fellow Daoist Lin also..."
Xiao Bo'an wore a half-smile, his tone even carrying a hint of teasing.
Lin Xinyang said nothing. He just abruptly drew the Xiaohua Sword from his waist and slashed a strand of sword energy towards Xiao Bo'an's direction.
"Oh my?"
Xiao Bo'an tilted his body slightly, easily dodging Lin Xinyang's slash.
His face still wore a relaxed smile.
"What does Fellow Daoist Lin mean by this, even drawing the Xiaohua Sword?"
The Twin Swords of Yuanhua, once unsheathed, must decide life and death.
Immediately after Xiao Bo'an finished speaking, the figure of Xiao Bo'an standing before Lin Xinyang and Chen Yan rapidly twisted, then faded, disappearing without a trace.
A sense of crisis suddenly surged from behind Lin Xinyang. He swiftly turned, using the Xiaohua Sword in his hand to block the attack from Xiao Bo'an, who had abruptly appeared behind him, and then lightly leaped backward, rapidly creating distance.
"Brilliant sun and moon..."
Lin Xinyang chanted a sword formula. Immediately, scorching, lava-like flowing light surged from the Xiaohua Sword in his hand. Fiery serpents akin to a solar corona pounced towards Xiao Bo'an's direction.
Xiao Bo'an hastily dodged.
In the next instant, Lin Xinyang reversed his grip on the sword. The scorching flowing light erupting from the blade rapidly transformed into ice crystals, carving a crescent moon in the air, and slashed towards Xiao Bo'an once more.
Xiao Bo'an's current cultivation was at the peak of the Martial Spring Realm, and Lin Xinyang was the same.
But in terms of foundation, Xiao Bo'an was still slightly stronger than Lin Xinyang. After all, compared to Lin Xinyang, he was a few years older.
Lin Xinyang alone could not defeat Xiao Bo'an.
Chen Yan quickly realized this fact.
He had to help.
Chen Yan began circulating the Hidden Immortal Art. Then, that point of Clear Light swirling near his Martial Spring rapidly amplified in power, bursting forth from his fingertip, transforming into a clear rainbow that blasted towards Xiao Bo'an.
An immense sense of crisis surged from his entire body towards Xiao Bo'an's mind. He stared in shock towards Chen Yan's direction, dumbfounded.
If hit, he would die.
Xiao Bo'an was very clear about this.
But he couldn't move.
Because this clear rainbow was simply too fast.
...
Two breaths of time later.
Chen Yan stared dumbfounded at the scene before him, his eyes filled with utter disbelief.
Lin Xinyang also stood in place, the Xiaohua Sword in his hand flowing with flames composed of ice crystals.
Still standing on the steps of the Heavenly Summit Palace was Xiao Bo'an.
Nothing had happened.
Facing the clear rainbow unleashed by Chen Yan after achieving great mastery of the Hidden Immortal Art, Xiao Bo'an was actually completely unscathed.
One must know, even Qin Qingyu had to temporarily avoid the sharp edge when facing Chen Yan in the past, when his Hidden Immortal Art was only at minor mastery.
Why?
Why was it like this?
Immediately after, Chen Yan locked his gaze onto the ring that Xiao Bo'an was casually toying with.
He suddenly realized something.
So that's it...
That ring of his was fishy!
"Tsk, it seems Chief Disciple Chen is far more dangerous than I imagined."
Xiao Bo'an spoke as if somewhat fearful in hindsight, yet also somewhat playful.
"Fortunately, I came prepared!"
An instant later, Xiao Bo'an bit his thumb, then smeared the blood onto the ring on his chest.
"Disciple Xiao Bo'an, requests Senior Mo to possess this body!"
A brilliant azure light erupted before the eyes of Chen Yan and Lin Xinyang.
Afterwards, Xiao Bo'an still stood there, but his expression and demeanor had completely changed.
Especially his eyes.
At this moment, Xiao Bo'an's eyes were the eyes of a complete superior, devoid of joy or sorrow, viewing all as mere ants.
Senior Mo, possess?
Chen Yan had just seen Xiao Bo'an bite his thumb and smear the blood onto that ring.
Could it be that an old grandpa resided within that ring?
And this was originally an opportunity belonging to Ye Xiu, but now it had fallen into Xiao Bo'an's hands.
Chen Yan was extremely wary.
Subconsciously, he already understood that he was absolutely no match for Xiao Bo'an possessed by the "old grandpa."
He was most likely about to restart again.
Although his life had entered a countdown, he still had to seize this opportunity to gather more intelligence.
"Let me see..."
The "Xiao Bo'an" possessed by Senior Mo turned his head, sweeping his gaze over Lin Xinyang before him, then slowly said,
"You still have use."
Immediately after, the "Xiao Bo'an" possessed by Senior Mo looked towards Chen Yan standing on the other side.
"Young man, you are quite interesting, but..."
As he spoke, the "Xiao Bo'an" possessed by Senior Mo paused briefly.
"You have no use."
...

...
A biting cold wind stung Chen Yan's cheeks.
He regained consciousness, opening his eyes to look forward.
The majestic white jade palace was drawing closer and closer to him.
The reincarnation record point had refreshed again, and this refreshed record point left Chen Yan unsatisfied.
The great calamity at Heavenly Summit Mountain had already begun.
Which meant Chen Yan had not obtained any breathing room at all.
Moreover, regarding the previous reincarnation...
How did he die?
Chen Yan only remembered that the "Xiao Bo'an" possessed by the so-called Senior Mo just glanced at him, said "you have no use," and then...
Dead?
What kind of situation was this?
No more time for thought was given to Chen Yan. He had already landed on the steps of the Heavenly Summit Palace.
It must be said, this was the reincarnation with the most urgent timing Chen Yan had experienced so far.
There was simply no buffer at all. From the moment of rebirth, he had to bear immense pressure.
He had to think of a way quickly, had to hurry...
The more anxious Chen Yan became, the more chaotic his thoughts grew.
"The Daoyan Arena is already in complete chaos..."
Lin Xinyang beside him spoke with a grave tone, his voice even beginning to tremble slightly.
Think of a way, think of a way...
"Chief Disciple Chen, Fellow Daoist Lin, it's been some days."
Here he comes again.
Chen Yan turned around, looking towards Xiao Bo'an walking towards him and Lin Xinyang from the steps.
Fight him once more, catch him by surprise!
Chen Yan's eyes turned sharp. The greatly mastered Hidden Immortal Art operated at full power. A clear rainbow with even greater momentum than before burst forth from Chen Yan's fingertip.
...
