As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1046
Chapter 1046 Murderous Intent
At this moment, the atmosphere became extremely tense. Almost everyone in the distance held their breath and stared at this side without moving.
“Ling’er!”
Suddenly, Xiao Meng’er shouted to Xiao Ling’er. Only then did Xiao Ling’er wake up. He flew towards the center of the tree in an instant. Looking at Leng Baihu who looked like a bloody man, he said in a trembling voice, “Cold, Leng Baihu …”
“Ling … Ling’er …”
Leng Baihu was so painful that she couldn’t utter a word. Xiao Ling’er’s body trembled slightly, and she didn’t hesitate any longer. A strand of profound energy gathered in her palm. The spirit of the ancient tree immediately split out and surged into her body.
“Ah!”
Even she was no better than Leng Baihu in this kind of pain. However, her extraordinary human body was not as terrifying as Leng Baihu’s, with blood seeping through her entire body.
On the other side, Chen Yufeng saw that the two of them were gathering the spirit of the ancient tree. At this time, he looked at Chen Ruyu, but before he could say anything, the young girl had already flown towards the center of the tree.
“Little Ru’er, be careful!”
At this moment, the Ancient Tree’s Spirit Stand split into three waves and rushed into the bodies of the three of them. For a moment, the surroundings were filled with strong winds, and the Spiritual Energy surged endlessly.
Looking at the three of them, it wasn’t easy for them. They needed to constantly consume their internal energy to help the three of them resist the Xiao Chen turbulence in the surroundings, and at the same time, to prevent their own damage.
The cultivators in the distance watched this scene. Although they also wanted to obtain the spirit of the ancient tree, with these three people here, they were wary and didn’t dare to approach.
But presumably, this ancient giant tree was so tall, could it be that this was the only “treasure”?
What about the other place?
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if he could find a Longevity Fruit? Even now, everyone still believed in the legend of SorrowlessValley’s longevity.
It was only at dusk that the surrounding Spiritual Energy gradually weakened, and the sky gradually darkened. Adding on the luxuriant branches and leaves in the surroundings, everyone was unable to see what was happening inside. Only the Spiritual Energy emitted a faint glow.
Xiao Chen’s face had already started to turn slightly pale. It was obvious that the amount of effort he had expended on this day was already enormous. On the other two sides, Xiao Meng’er and Chen Yufeng had also suffered heavy losses.
The Spirit of the Ancient Tree slowly retreated into the heart of the tree, and a portion of it was absorbed into the bodies of Leng Baihu, Xiao Ling’er, and Chen Ruyu.
At this moment, the three of them had absorbed a large amount of Ancient Tree Spirit, and even a faint layer of Spiritual Energy had condensed around their bodies.
“Elder …”
In the distance, the sect leaders of the forces below Beigong Clan were still hiding in the shadows, and Old man Qingyi remained motionless.
He could also feel that Xiao Chen, Xiao Meng’er, and Chen Yu Feng were already exhausted. Even if the three of them were to be added together, they might not be able to defeat him. It was already getting dark, and it was a good opportunity to eliminate these three …
“Boom!”
Right at this moment, a loud explosion suddenly came from afar. Everyone’s hearts trembled as they looked over. It was at the center of the tree that the violent Spiritual Energy in the surroundings finally stopped.
The three people who absorbed the Spirit of the Ancient Tree also flew out. Xiao Ling’er reached out to catch Xiao Meng’er, while Chen Yufeng caught Chen Ruyu. Xiao Chen took a step forward and caught Leng Baihu from midair.
“Chen, Brother Chen …”
Leng Baihu’s face was still a little painful. On the other two sides, Chen Ruyu and Xiao Ling’er had both fallen asleep because they had suddenly endured such strong Spiritual Energy.
“It’s okay …”
Xiao Chen swiftly tapped several acupoints on his body to relieve the pain caused by the enormous Spiritual Energy he had endured.
But at this moment, a cold killing intent filled the air. Leng Baihu naturally couldn’t sense it, but Xiao Chen could clearly sense that this killing intent was getting heavier and heavier …
However, at this moment, he had consumed so much energy, his face was still somewhat pale, and his cultivation had yet to recover. How could he be a match for a Quasi-Sage?
The trace of cold killing intent was getting closer and closer. In the darkness, it was as if several cold figures had faintly appeared. At this moment, not only did he feel the killing intent, even the Chen Clan elders could feel this deep killing intent.
The few of them quickly stood in front of Chen Yufeng. However, even if they already had the cultivation of the True Cave Stage, how could they resist the next Quasi-Sage expert?
The murderous aura was getting closer and closer. Even Xiao Meng’er held her breath. Xiao Chen’s expression also became serious. In such a tense and solemn atmosphere, Leng Baihu gradually noticed something strange. He asked softly, “Brother Chen, what … what’s wrong?”
“Don’t make a sound …”
At this moment, Xiao Chen already had three more Blood Transformation Needles in his hand. Now that Fuxi Zither and Di Gu Sword were not by his side, he could only use all of his strength to try out the Blood Transformation Needles.
However, even the Blood Transformation Needle might not be able to deal with a Quasi-Saint expert, unless there were divine artifacts like Fuxi Zither and Di Gu Sword …
“Excellency … Excellency!”
Right at this moment, two familiar voices suddenly came from afar. Xiao Chen looked up and saw two figures walking towards him in the darkness. They were not others, but Bai Luan and Zi Yuan.
Who were Bai Luan and Zi Yuan? How could he not feel the murderous intent lurking in his body?
“Your Excellency … receive the zither!”
Before he could fly in front of Xiao Chen, Zi Yuan had already thrown Fuxi Zither towards Xiao Chen. As soon as the divine zither landed in his hand, Xiao Chen did not hesitate. He pointed at the zither and played towards the place where the killing intent surged.
“Zheng!”
However, seeing the zither turn into a hundred zhang long light, this string was only released by Xiao Chen in a hurry, and its power wasn’t considered great.
In the next moment, he placed his finger on the string and a Genuine energy poured into it. In that instant, the seven strings became dazzling and dazzling. The ancient zither’s body also glowed with light, as if the Yuan Qi of the entire world had been attracted over!
In addition, the ancient tree was already filled with Spiritual Energy, so how could it be so idle when it was completely condensed?
The light on the string made Xiao Chen look like a celestial. At this moment, everyone held their breath. They could already feel the terrifying power coming from the zither in Xiao Chen’s hand.
“That’s …”
Even Chen Yufeng was stunned for a moment. In the next moment, before the surrounding people could react, the zither music instantly turned into tens of thousands of feet of light and slashed out horizontally, turning all the branches and leaves in the vicinity into powder!
“Boom!”
With a loud explosion, it was unknown what the zither music had finally struck, but in the darkness, a few figures flashed and disappeared in the next instant.
The surroundings slowly regained their calm. The cold killing intent from before had disappeared, and the surrounding cultivators were still in a dream. The sound of the zither just now was too terrifying. Just what kind of zither was he holding in his hand? It was actually so terrifying …
