As the Universe Turns - Chapter 114
Chapter 114 Power of Life and Death
“Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!”
Accompanied by a series of rumbling sounds, Xiao Chen executed his movement technique to the extreme. His entire body was like a ghost, but even so, it was difficult to completely avoid the attack and blockade of the twelve swords.
It could be imagined that not only were these twelve swords extremely powerful, just the cultivation of these twelve black-clothed men was already far above those of the Heavenly Sect back then.
After fighting for half an incense stick of time, the vegetation within a radius of several kilometers had withered and withered under the shroud of the baleful aura in the sky. It was pitch black and looked extremely strange.
Finally, the twelve black-clothed men temporarily stopped their attacks. The leader said coldly, “How is it, Xiao Yichen? Even if you have great abilities, this Ghost Fiend Sword is definitely not something you can resist. Hand over the Heavenly Scripture. We can return and resume our orders. From now on, you can rest assured to do your thing. How about it?”
Xiao Chen landed lightly on the ground and focused his gaze. It turned out that these twelve swords were called Ghost Fiend Swords. They were indeed powerful. However, it seemed that he had never heard of them before. These people were able to see through their identities and had the ability to follow him all the way. Furthermore, they were wholeheartedly here for the Heavenly Book. Who exactly were they?
When the black-clothed man saw that he was completely silent, he said, Knowing that the time had come, “The Book of Heaven is an ancient heritage, “It is reasonable for the world to share it. It would be unreasonable for you to possess it by yourself. If you are willing to give it up today, we might be friends in the future. If you are unwilling, we can still put your soul into the Ghost Fiend Sword today and try to uncover the mysteries of the Heavenly Book. However, this will be disadvantageous to both of us. What do you think?”
After he finished speaking, he carefully observed the change in expression on the other party’s face.
However, Xiao Chen’s expression did not change at all. He looked at the twelve Ghost Fiend Swords whose killing intent had increased a little. His expression remained calm as he said indifferently, “I don’t think so.”
Hearing this, the twelve people’s eyes suddenly became much colder. However, at this moment, they were deeply afraid of this person. It was because they had underestimated his strength. They never expected that this person would break off all his meridians, destroy his Nascent Soul, and cripple his cultivation. His current cultivation was even more unfathomable than before.
However, the more this happened, the more they wanted to obtain the Ancient Heavenly Scripture from each other, because in their eyes, it was precisely because of the Heavenly Scripture that Xiao Yichen was able to renew his meridians, as well as his current formidable ability.
“Ghost Fiend Sword, it seems to Xiao that it’s probably nothing more than that.”
“What are you talking about?”
At this moment, the twelve of them were originally contemplating their countermeasures, but when they suddenly heard the other party’s words, they immediately became even more vigilant.
Xiao Chen’s gaze was still faint, “I say, you all know that I possess the Book of Heaven, so why did you come here today instead of sending me to my death …”
“You …”
The black-clothed man in the lead trembled slightly, and his pupils contracted sharply. In the next moment, he suddenly realized something. This person in front of him wasn’t just carrying the Book of Heaven.
Their attention was only focused on the Heavenly Book, but from the beginning, they seemed to have overlooked another problem. This person was a peerless genius from Xuanqing Sect after Ling Yin for thousands of years! Just now, he seemed to be dodging and dodging, but in fact, he already knew the characteristics of the Ghost Fiend Sword in his chest!
“Shit!”
The twelve silently cried out for trouble. However, it was too late. Xiao Chen jumped up and slapped his palm on the ground. The power of his palm surged and dust flew everywhere. The twelve of them suddenly stifled. When they were about to lift the Ghost Fiend Sword, they felt their chests tighten. They were unable to make the Ghost Fiend Sword as comfortable as before.
“Formation!”
Panic flashed through the black-clothed man’s eyes. At this moment, he seemed to have realized something terrifying. At this moment, he no longer had time to think about it and immediately formed a “Ghost Fiend Formation” with the other eleven people.
The twelve of them incessantly chanted incantations. Finally, they forcefully bit the tip of their tongues and sprayed a mouthful of blood essence onto their respective Ghost Fiend Swords. In an instant, the twelve Ghost Fiend Swords shone brightly. Instantly, they were like thousands of ghosts howling in the air. Layers of baleful energy covered the sky and covered the entire ten-mile wilderness!
Even so, the twelve Ghost Fiend Swords were still unable to attack Xiao Yichen. At this moment, it was as if they were imprisoned by some mysterious power of his.
The twelve people’s eyes widened in fear. At this moment, Xiao Chen’s gaze was cold and his black battle robe moved in the wind. There was no pity or sympathy in his eyes. As the word “exterminated” was spoken coldly, the twelve people’s eyes gradually became bloodshot and blood oozed out.
“You … this is, controlling the power of life and death!”
The black-clothed man’s expression suddenly changed and he finally understood. At this moment, it was as if he had fallen into an endless abyss of darkness.
Xiao Chen was floating in mid-air, and a dark energy enveloped his palm. The endless aura of death spread out, and layers of death energy covered the heavens and earth. All the flowers, plants, and trees within a radius of ten kilometers instantly lost their vitality!
“Ah …”
The other eleven people suddenly became extremely painful. Two streams of blood slowly flowed down their cheeks. Their appearances were already extremely terrifying, but at this moment, none of them were able to break free from the control of life and death!
“Die!”
Xiao Chen’s eyes were cold as he pointed. At this moment, he seemed to have grasped the Laws of Life and Death between heaven and earth!
With a loud bang, the twelve Ghost Fiend Swords in midair instantly broke into countless pieces. The eleven people no longer struggled. Their pupils gradually dilated, and their eyes gradually turned purple-black. There was no longer any trace of life on their bodies, just like the withered vegetation in an instant.
“You … you …”
Only the black-clothed man was left alive. However, at this moment, he saw Xiao Chen slowly walking towards him like a god of death. The fear in his eyes was actually even more terrifying than facing death. How could he imagine that someone had comprehended the heaven-defying methods of controlling life and death in the Heavenly Book!
“Da … Da … Da … Da …”
The sound of ice-cold footsteps echoed in the wilderness, adding a chill to it.
Xiao Chen walked over step by step. The black-clothed man’s eyes were wide open and he could no longer breathe. At this moment, he was even more painful than death. He regretted his greed and advancement, but it was already too late.
“Who sent you …”
It was unknown when Xiao Chen had already arrived in front of him. At this moment, his cold voice seemed to have no emotions whatsoever. Only then did the black-clothed man suddenly wake up from his shock. However, he was no longer able to speak.
“Is it Xiaoyao Tower, Demonic Heaven Sect, White Cloud Pavilion … or Heavenly Gate?”
A cold voice sounded again. Especially when he said the last two words, his cold eyes were more like the most heartless eyes in the world. The black-clothed assassin was completely stunned. He said that he was also dead, and if he didn’t say it, he was also dead. He just wanted to die a happy death.
“Forget it, there’s no need for you to speak …”
Xiao Chen’s eyes were cold. As soon as he finished speaking, he pressed his palm onto the black-clothed man’s head and went straight to his origin soul. However, at this moment, his expression suddenly changed.
