As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1169
Chapter 1169 Dou Lianzhen
Just as Hua Weiyang finished speaking, a cold wind blew over from the other end of the forest and rolled up the fallen leaves. Then, a slightly cold male voice sounded, “Sovereign Lustless Heaven, Lianhua Palace Palace Master, I’ve been waiting for you two for a long time …”
Hearing this voice, Xiao Chen’s expression froze. This voice was somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before. Yes … Hill of Illusory Ruins, Acheron Valley, Lian Zhensi!
“Haha …”
A cold and gloomy voice came from the other end of the forest. Two figures gradually appeared in front of everyone. The person on the left was dressed in Qingyi, and his appearance was slightly gloomy. The person on the right was dressed in a bloody robe, and there was a bloody mark between his eyebrows. He looked extremely murderous.
Xiao Chen raised his hand, indicating that everyone did not need to be nervous. He took a few steps forward and looked at the two people opposite the forest. “Lian Zhensi, long time no see …” He then looked at the man in blood clothes and said indifferently, “Then this must be Palace Master of the Seven Kills Hall.”
Below Heavenless Palace, there were seven palaces. These seven palaces were Zi Wei, Lian Zhen, Ju Men, Pojun, Tan Lang, Qi Sha, and Lunar New Year. Among them, Taiyin Palace had already been annihilated by Xiao Chen. The two people in front of them were Lian Zhensi and the Seven Killing Division. Their cultivation levels were not something Tai Yinsi could compare to.
Lian Zhensi smiled faintly, but his words were slightly gloomy. “That day in Acheron Valley, Venerable Lord Lustless had Tianzhu City’s help, but today, I’m afraid it won’t be as lucky as that day. Earlier in Wind Cloud Heaven, Zhu Que helped you, but now, presumably Zhu Que has returned to Tianzhu City …”
After saying that, he took a few steps forward and said indifferently, “Does Venerable Lord Lustless intend to surrender this time, or does he intend to let this department personally take action?”
“I plan to … take your dog’s life.”
As he spoke, Xiao Chen took out Di Gu and slashed towards Lian Zhen and Qi Sha. At the same time, he sent a secret message to Zi Yuan, “Protect the Palace Master from disobedience.”
Zi Yuan was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted. She pulled Wei Yang and flew out of the forest. The rest of them also protected behind her and went out of the forest.
Hua Weiyang’s expression changed slightly. Zi Yuan immediately said, “With Palace Master here, Excellency will have worries about the future. These two may not be Excellency’s opponents. Three thousand miles ahead, our people will meet up.”
Seeing that Hua Weiyang and the others were about to flee, Lian Zhensi’s gaze turned cold and he quickly said, “Seven Kills, go chase after them. That woman, remember not to let her go back outside …”
Qi Sha’s eyes were even colder. His cold killing intent was like a sharp blade. Without waiting for Lian Zhensi to finish his sentence, he immediately unleashed his movement technique and chased after Hua Weiyang and the others.
Xiao Chen slashed out with his sword, and Di Gu Sword’s Qi roared out, cutting apart the ground along the way, causing the soil to instantly flip over.
Seven Killers sensed the fierce sword Qi coming from behind. In an instant, he turned around and forcefully lifted his True Qi. With a “bang”, even with the protection of the Genuine energy Spirit Formation, he was still shaken unsteadily by Xiao Chen’s sword strike and retreated backwards.
In this short period of time, Hua Weiyang and the others had already left the forest and disappeared without a trace. Lian Zhensi flew up in an instant. With a fierce killing intent in his palm, he slapped towards Xiao Chen, knocking over a large area of the ground nearby, causing vegetation and soil to fly everywhere.
“Boom!” Xiao Chen slashed out with his sword. The two forces collided, causing the entire forest to tremble and the trees to fly wildly.
Lian Zhensi’s eyes narrowed as he thought back to last year when he was in Acheron Valley. At that time, he was confident that he could take down this person, but now, the other party’s cultivation had actually increased by so much.
On the other side, Qi Sha stood firm. With a “zheng” sound, he drew out a blood sword and stabbed it towards Xiao Chen. The sword’s momentum was similarly extremely ferocious, causing the nearby rocks to tumble and vegetation to fly.
“Seven Kills, you don’t have to worry about this place. Go chase after those people just now. Don’t let them escape.” Lian Zhensi’s gaze was cold, and his words were filled with confidence. He alone could take down Xiao Chen.
Hearing this, Qi Sha stopped and immediately chased after the forest. Xiao Chen flicked his sleeve and a palm force instantly slammed towards him. A palm print suddenly appeared in the void and pressed down on Qi Sha.
“Heavenly Dipper Break!”
Lian Zhensi shouted coldly. With two fingers together, he struck out a golden light curse mark. With a “boom” sound, Xiao Chen’s palm force scattered, causing dust to fly everywhere in the sky. By the time the dust scattered, there was no trace of the Seven Kills.
“As expected of Venerable Lord Lustless. In just a few years, ordinary Quasi-Sages are no longer your opponent after learning the techniques on the fragment of the Heavenly Book.”
Lian Zhensi’s tone was indifferent. He paused for a moment before his gaze turned cold. “In a few more years, even the person who entered the Sage realm will no longer be a match for Sovereign Lord Xiao …”
“Tai Huazi sent you here …”
Xiao Chen’s eyes also turned cold. Tai Huazi was one of the Three Saints of the Heavenless Palace and also the murderer of his parents. This grudge was unsworn. However, he was not a match for this person yet.
“It doesn’t matter who sent me here. Anyway …”
Lian Zhensi’s tone was still calm, but when he said this, his voice suddenly turned cold. “You killed Tai Yinsi. If I don’t bring you back, I won’t be able to hand over the task. Be obedient and return with this department. Perhaps those under your command still have a sliver of life force among the Seven Killers. I forgot to tell you just now that the people targeted by the Seven Killers have nowhere to escape …”
“This sentence seems to have been said by Tai Yinsi before. Why don’t you go to the underworld and ask him how long he’s been dead?”
“You’re courting death!”
Suddenly, Lian Zhensi’s killing intent surged. He slapped his palm, and under the surge of energy, all the surrounding trees were sent flying.
At this moment, Xiao Chen put away Di Gu and waved his palms. Following a heaven-shaking dragon roar, the leaves within ten feet of him instantly gathered into a dragon shadow and charged towards Lian Zhensi.
“Boom!”
The collision of their palms caused the nearby mountains to tremble. Lian Zhensi’s eyes narrowed slightly. He thought that Xuanqing Sect’s Dao Art was indeed powerful. If it was in the past, he might not be able to block this attack of the Withered Wood Dragon’s Roar …
“Uh …”
However, at this moment, Xiao Chen’s face suddenly turned pale. Lian Zhensi saw his change. It turned out that he was trying to hold on. He sneered and said, “It seems that Yun Sect really suffered heavy losses when he killed Yun Daozi in Venerable Lord Lustless yesterday.”
It was clear that Yun Sect, which had been depleted in Genuine energy yesterday, had not fully recovered to this point. Now that it was using its full strength, it was inevitable that it would cause its own backlash.
The moment Lian Zhensi finished speaking, he had already struck Xiao Chen with his palm. This time, it was both fast and fierce. With a “bang”, the falling leaves in the sky immediately dispersed and Xiao Chen was knocked backwards by the palm strike.
