As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1208
Chapter 1208 Miserable Conditions
At this moment, the two people on the hillside, the man sitting in the wheelchair, was Sick Qilin. He had appeared in Acheron Valley and given Xiao Chen a “Life and Death” golden leaf.
As long as Hill of Illusory Ruins was in Xiao Chen and Hill of Illusory Ruins held the Life and Death Gold Leaf, then Tianzhu City’s cultivation forces, regardless of whether it was cultivation or demon cultivation, would probably give Tianzhu City three points of face.
Tianzhu City, on the other hand, had existed for a long time. Since ancient times, there had been seven palaces: Azure Dragon, Qilin, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, Zhu Que, Bai Ze, and Zhongming.
Azure Dragon had always been the leader of the Seven Halls, and Azure Dragon was the only supreme leader in Tianzhu Palace.
But a hundred years ago, after Azure Dragon appeared, he never appeared again. So now, the entire Tianzhu Palace was under the care of Sick Qilin, temporarily taking over the position of Azure Dragon. But today, for some unknown reason, not only was he not in Tianzhu City, he had actually come to Heavenless Palace so far away.
At this moment, the mysterious black-robed man in midair clearly recognized the Sick Qilin as well. He coldly said, “The Qilin Palace Master’s legs are inconvenient, but he’s still traveling all the way here. Aren’t you afraid that he won’t be able to return?”
Qilin said with a gentle smile, “With this half-crippled body, I wonder how many chances I am has of winning against your Excellency.”
“Probably … you will die here today.”
The black-robed man’s voice was gloomy and cold, while Sick Qilin still had a smile on his face. “If I am died here, then it would probably be due to the number of days. There must be no one else to blame.”
“Mind your own business … and commit suicide.”
The black-robed man’s voice turned cold, and his killing intent suddenly increased by a lot. Before he could finish his words, two sharp palms struck down towards the Qilin.
Even though he had been injured by Xiao Chen earlier, his current strength could not be underestimated. As soon as he spoke, he saw the Qilin slap his wheelchair and the entire wheelchair flew backwards.
“Boom!” Although the black-robed man’s two palms were powerful, they only shattered the mountain and did not injure Sick Qilin in the slightest.
At this moment, the Sickly Qilin pushed its hands together. It was also using two palms that pierced through the clouds, striking towards the sky. In the same move, the black-robed man did not dodge and directly collided with its edge. “Boom!” The two palms collided, causing the clouds in the sky to dissipate. Everyone below retreated, their faces revealing shock.
“Hmph, looks like Tianzhu City is nothing more than that.”
The black-robed man snorted coldly. In the blink of an eye, he attacked again. This time, he raised his palm and five strands of black sword qi suddenly appeared beneath his palm. “Fiend Fiend Fiend!” They all slashed towards the Sickly Qilin.
Facing the five strands of strange black sword Qi, the Sickly Qilin remained calm. He slapped his wheelchair and the wheelchair flew up again. It actually moved like the wind in midair.
His moves were also very simple. Every time he waved his finger, a profound light flew out and collided with the black-robed man’s sword qi.
The people of the Heavenless Palace were dazzled. As for Tai Huazi and the others, At this moment, astonishment appeared on his face. Although Qilin had leg problems, the wheelchair beneath him was made of cold iron. It was incomparably hard. At the same time, it was equipped with a “heavy light” design. Hidden weapons were emitted, causing injuries to people to be invisible. In addition, his cultivation was extraordinary. Driving this wheelchair with profound strength could be said to be like the wind, unimpeded in the slightest. It was absolutely beyond the reach of humans.
At this moment, even for the three of them, it was hard to tell what level Sick Tai Huazi’s cultivation had reached …
On the other side, Xiao Chen supported Ling Yin. Although he did not know why the people of Tianzhu City would help him time and time again, it was not appropriate for him to stay here for a long time now. Thinking of this, he immediately flew out with Ling Yin without hesitation.
When the black-robed man saw him flee with Ling Yin, he instantly condensed his fingers and struck out with a finger force. However, it was cut off by the same finger force sent out by Sick Qilin in an instant.
“We can’t let him leave …”
At this moment, Daoist Taihua saw Xiao Chen escape with Ling Yin. At this moment, he ignored so much and chased after him in an instant. However, before he could catch up, a scarlet figure suddenly stopped him. It was Zhu Que.
Seeing that Zhu Que was coming to stop him, Daoist Taihua’s eyes turned cold. However, at this moment, he was heavily injured and his Yuan Qi was seriously injured. He might not be able to make it through. He said coldly, “A hundred years ago, Azure Dragon made an oath that Tianzhu Palace would never leave Hill of Illusory Ruins within a hundred years. Now that the entire period of a hundred years has not arrived, you guys have broken the oath and come out early …”
“So what …”
Zhu Que’s expression was calm and he didn’t seem to care at all. Daoist Taihua’s eyes became even colder. He said in a deep voice, “So that’s how it is. It seems that you Tianzhu City, Lustless Heaven, and Xuanqing Sect have already colluded with each other in secret …”
“Heh …”
Zhu Que smiled faintly, “Whatever you say, it’s good that you’re happy.”
“You …”
Tai Hua Zhen pointed his finger. At this moment, two more figures flew up from behind him. They were Daoist Chong Jiu and Daoist Cuihan.
In the past, the three of them had Saint realm cultivations, but this time, their Yuan Qi had been greatly damaged, and their cultivation had been reduced by 90%. Even if they were added together, they would probably only be able to draw with Zhu Que at most.
Daoist Taihua’s eyes were as cold as ice, and he whispered, “Go and chase after Xiao Yichen and Ling Yin. Don’t let them return to Xuanqing Sect. I’ll hold him off …”
Daoist Chong Jiu and Daoist Cuihan were about to leave when they heard this, but at this moment, Zhu Que’s hands trembled and two identical avatars appeared on both his left and right.
Even Daoist Taihua’s expression couldn’t help but change. What a powerful avatar technique …
“The three of you might as well leave this place. However, once you leave, I will kill all of you here, staining Heavenless Palace with blood … I, Zhu Que, always keep my word.”
Zhu Que smiled faintly and looked at the three people in front of him.
“You …”
Daoist Taihua pointed at him. However, at this moment, he knew that these words were not alarmist. Today, almost everyone in Heavenless Palace was injured and their vitality was greatly damaged. Only Zi Weisi and the Giant Gate Division still had some strength. However, if they wanted to seal Jiuyou Valley now, they simply couldn’t come over …
“Me what me?”
Zhu Que looked at him, his hands tied to his chest, and said indifferently, “In your eyes, aren’t the people of Hill of Illusory Ruins all the vicious and evil people of Diabolism … and I, Zhu Que, am precisely a bad person. Do bad people need a reason to kill people?”
On the other side, Qilin and the black-robed man were engaged in a fierce battle. Although they seemed to be casual, they were actually cautious. At the same time, they sent a secret message to Zhu Que, “Zhu Que, don’t be careless about today’s matter. Don’t play around anymore …”
…
Let’s talk about Xiao Chen and Ling Yin. After the two of them left Skyless Temple, they sped along. Ling Yin’s face became paler and paler, and his breathing became weaker and weaker. In the end, he fell backwards.
“Master” Xiao Chen’s face was shocked as he reached out to hug her. At this moment, he actually felt her body freeze …
“Chen’er …”
Ling Yin wanted to say something, but in the end, she was too weak to say a word. Xiao Chen hugged her tightly and looked around. He was worried that the people from the Heavenless Palace would catch up and immediately chose a remote mountain.
After flying for an unknown amount of time, twilight gradually arrived. The dark clouds on the horizon were as heavy as lead. Xiao Chen suddenly stopped. A muffled snort came from his throat, followed by a mouthful of blood.
Evidently, because of the Three Corpse Demon, his backlash wasn’t light either. In addition, he had already sped all the way over. At this moment, he was almost dizzy, unable to distinguish between the east and the west.
“Boom!”
A thunderous sound resounded in the sky, followed by cold raindrops. The entire mountain became misty, making the mountain path even harder to travel.
Xiao Chen hugged Ling Yin and walked forward with great difficulty step by step. Blood flowed down the corner of his mouth and gradually mixed with the icy cold rain that filled the sky …
“Boom!”
The sound of thunder was deep, and the wind was even more bone-piercing. The mountain was filled with miserable winds and cold rain, as if they were going to swallow up the two of them in the dim twilight.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the road became harder and harder. Suddenly, Xiao Chen slipped and fell to the ground. Ling Yin rolled out of his hand.
Below was a steep cliff. Xiao Chen pounced forward forcefully, splashing mud all over the ground, pulling her back.
“Master …”
Xiao Chen tightly pulled her. Ling Yin was already hanging on the cliff with half of her body. Their arms were covered in mud and water. They were getting slippery. Xiao Chen’s body gradually slipped towards the cliff. Finally, he grabbed onto the tree roots at the edge of the cliff and was able to stabilize himself.
“Boom!”
The thunder in the sky grew louder and louder. The ruthless rain seemed to be about to engulf the two of them. Xiao Chen’s hands grew weaker and weaker. No matter how tightly he grabbed them, the other party’s wrists slowly slid out of his hands bit by bit.
“Ah–”
Xiao Chen let out a long howl. Blood had already flowed out from the hand holding the tree root. The rain became heavier and heavier, and finally, the entire cliff slid downwards.
The two of them rolled down together. In the chaos, Xiao Chen held Ling Yin’s hand tightly and hugged her tightly. He covered her nose and mouth with his clothes. The two of them hugged each other like this and rolled down the hillside. It was unknown where it was.
