As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1256
Chapter 1256 Unstoppable!
The entire square suddenly became incomparably quiet. Everyone was dumbfounded. Just what kind of sword was that? It was actually so terrifying …
At this moment, Di Gu Sword fell back into Xiao Chen’s hands. At this moment, the blood-red aura on the sword seemed to have grown a little heavier. It turned out that he had sacrificed his sword with blood long before he came. Otherwise, how could Di Gu be so much stronger than before today?
Everyone who cultivated swords knew that sacrificing their swords with blood was a big taboo. If they were careless, they would be easily devoured by the sword master. Even if they did not devour the sword master for a while, they would surely lose their temper over time. The sword would also become even more bloodthirsty and give birth to the Evil Sword Spirit.
Therefore, this method of cultivating swords was not chosen by righteous people, especially for “evil swords” like Di Gu. Using blood to sacrifice swords was even more taboo.
In the eyes of the world, Di Gu was a cursed evil sword, and all the sword masters of past dynasties had suffered a miserable ending. Therefore, some people wanted to obtain it, but they were afraid to avoid it from afar.
However, Xiao Chen had never agreed with the views of the world. In the eyes of the world, Di Gu was the Evil Sword, probably just like the prejudice of the world towards him …
That was why he was the only one who could feel the icy aura coming from the Di Gu Sword every night. It was as if it came from a lonely abyss that had existed for tens of thousands of years. Only he could sense it. Back then, he had brought Di Gu out from the depths of the darkness. From that moment on, he had formed an indissoluble bond.
Now that he and Di Gu were getting along day and night, it was indeed inevitable that they would be affected by the killing intent in the sword. However, this time, he knew that if he did not sacrifice his blood for the sword, it would be difficult for him to escape amongst so many experts from the four alliances. As for the Golden Crow Foot, it was his last trump card. He only had three chances. He did not want to use it easily.
“Zheng!”
Di Gu Sword let out an ice-cold sword howl, causing everyone’s hearts to tremble. Xiao Chen’s eyes were ice-cold as he walked towards Chu Qingyu step by step.
Shangguan Ruoxue’s face turned pale. He looked at him and said, “You’ve already won. What else do you want? If you want Mirage Sea Liu-Li, just take it …”
“Ruo … Ruo Xue …”
Chu Qingyu’s Qi rushed into his heart, and another mouthful of blood gushed out from his mouth. Seeing this, Shangguan Ruoxue condensed her Qi and pointed it at his chest to help him stabilize his internal breathing.
On the other side, when Shangguan Hong saw that Xiao Chen was going to take Mirage Sea Liu-Li, her heart moved slightly. No, she couldn’t let him take Mirage Sea Liu-Li, but she was also afraid of the sword in his hand …
Right at this moment, a long and old voice suddenly came from within the Four Alliances Temple, “Little friend, this sword is indeed powerful, but with just one sword strike, you want to take away Mirage Sea Liu-Li today? I’m afraid … it’s not enough.”
As his voice fell, a figure suddenly appeared in midair. However, he saw that person Qingyi was floating in the air, his white hair was majestic, and he carried an immortal sword on his back, giving him an immortal aura.
“Elder Qing He …”
Many people were stunned when they saw this green-robed, white-haired old man riding his sword. It was Elder Tai of the Four Alliances Temple, and his cultivation had long since stepped into the Sage realm …
That’s right. At this moment, everyone thought that if this person made a fuss here today and let him take away Mirage Sea Liu-Li, what face would the Mirage Sea Four Alliances have in the future? So today, no matter what, it was impossible for him to leave so easily …
Thinking of this, everyone shivered for some reason. Recalling the scene just now, it was truly too shocking. Many people retreated further away. There were even many sect leaders and elders who had already left the Four Alliances Temple and gone to Guiyuan City.
Even though the entire Four Alliances Temple and Origin City had extremely powerful defensive formations, if Elder Qinghe were to attack, it would be hard to guarantee that innocence would not be harmed.
“Saber and sword have no eyes, then Elder … be careful.”
Xiao Chen’s words were indifferent. As soon as he finished speaking, he slashed out with his sword. A streak of azure-red sword qi instantly rolled up the broken stones on the ground and slashed towards Elder Qing He.
Seeing the ferocious attack of this sword, Qing He and Elder did not dare to be careless. With a “zheng” sound, the immortal sword behind him immediately flew out.
Clang!
With a loud explosion, Elder Qing He couldn’t help but retreat after being struck by Di Gu Sword Qi. He couldn’t help but be shocked in his heart. This sword Qi was actually so strong … It was somewhat beyond his expectations.
“Elder Qing He!”
Seeing that even Qing He and the elders were unable to faintly resist the sword’s sharpness, the other elders of the Four Leagues Temple were all shocked. What exactly was the origin of this sword?
Before everyone could react, Xiao Chen slashed again. However, the sword light in the air was dazzling. This sword strike was like a rainbow that pierced through mountains and rivers. Even the buildings outside were shaken to the point that they couldn’t help but shake!
Elder Qing He forced himself to calm down and hurriedly used the sword art. The celestial sword in his hand instantly became dazzling with golden light, and a surging sword qi immediately surged out from him.
However, even so, facing Di Gu’s momentum of devouring mountains and rivers, he still looked pale and powerless.
Clang!
Another loud sound rang out as the sword tip collided. Several stone piers on the platform were directly shattered. Qing and Elder slashed their fingers on the sword, fiercely stimulating their profound strength. However, Di Gu still forced them to keep retreating.
Although the sword in his hand had been cultivated for many years, it was not at the same level as Di Gu. At this moment, he was still barely able to block Di Gu’s front. It was entirely due to his extremely profound strength. If it landed in Chu Qingyu’s hand, it would have been destroyed by the first time they clashed.
“Elder!”
Seeing Elder Qinghe being forced to retreat, the disciples of the Four Alliances Temple were also extremely shocked. Was this sword truly invincible in this world?
“Imperial edict!”
Elder Qing He shouted as his fingers pressed against the blade of the sword. The entire sword instantly became dazzling with golden light. Faint runes appeared, but even so, it was still difficult to resist Di Gu’s momentum.
In the end, Xiao Chen flipped his left hand and charged towards Xiao Chen with the power of wind and lightning. This palm strike was not an ordinary one. Xiao Chen’s palm strike was very lucky. In an instant, he removed the strength from his palm and hit him on the shoulder. With a “bang”, he was sent flying.
“Elder Qing He!”
Seeing Elder Qinghe being sent flying by a single palm strike, the expressions of the elders from the Four Alliances Temple in the distance all changed. In the next moment, Xiao Chen activated his sword qi and attacked again.
Facing this storm of attacks, Elder Qinghe was forced into a camp step by step. Instantly, strong winds blew across the entire platform, and rocks flew everywhere. Even the remaining stone piers were shattered into powder by the ferocious attacks of the two of them.
The two of them fought for a while, and the people below were already in suspense. Elder Qing He’s face was deathly pale, and cold sweat was condensed on his forehead. After consuming a lot of Genuine energy, even his pace was somewhat unstable.
However, Xiao Chen’s attack did not stop like a shower. When the last sword slashed out, the other elders of the Four Alliances Temple were all shocked. They flew up at the same time. With a “boom”, they were able to resist this sword attack with their combined strength.
The people outside were all shocked. The platform was covered in cracks. The Genuine energy Spirit Formation created by the four elders was also cracking beneath Di Gu Sword!
However, Xiao Chen’s gaze was still cold. The last sword slashed down, accompanied by a loud “rumble”. The entire high platform instantly shattered. Within the smoke and dust, everyone could only see the figures of the four elders flying out randomly.
The people outside were all dumbfounded. It was as if they were petrified. They stayed where they were and did not move. When the dust scattered, they saw Qing He sitting on a pile of rocks with his hand over his chest and blood gushing out of his mouth. As soon as he picked up the sword in his hand, he discovered that only half of the sword was left.
At this moment, the entire shattered plaza was extremely quiet. Many people outside were trembling involuntarily. That sword was too terrifying …
The blood-red aura wrapped around Di Gu Sword, and Xiao Chen pointed his sword at the space between Elder Qing and Elder’s eyebrows. Finally, with a “zheng” sound, he retracted Di Gu, kicked his feet, flew onto the stone pillar, and held the Mirage Sea Liu-Li in his hand.
“Xiao Yichen! Even if you snatch away Mirage Sea Liu-Li today, it’s impossible for you to obtain a spot in Mirage Sea!” A heavily injured Four Leagues Elder shouted at him.
Xiao Chen ignored it. Since the matter had already come to this point, it was naturally impossible for him to obtain a spot in Mirage Sea. However, if he obtained this Mirage Sea glass, he would have the qualifications to obtain a spot elsewhere. Otherwise, why would he take the risk to come here today?
Right at this moment, many people rushed in from outside. These people were the elders of the Chu Clan, mostly old men with high cultivation levels.
“What? You guys are still unconvinced …”
Xiao Chen gave those people a faint glance. He raised Di Gu’s hand and a sword howl sounded. Instantly, those people were so scared that they couldn’t help but retreat.
No matter how many people there were in the Chu Clan, under the awe of Di Gu, they didn’t dare to rush forward to die. Seeing the mess on the ground, the cultivators outside Guiyuan City were already dumbfounded. There were so many experts in the Four Alliances that they couldn’t take down a single person today. After today, the word Xiao Yichen would definitely ring throughout the Bone Corrosion Lands!
At this moment, no one dared to rush forward to stop her. Xiao Chen glanced at Shangguan Ruoxue, who was healing Chu Qingyu’s injuries not far away. He stretched out his hand and grabbed her from afar.
“Ruoxue!”
Although Shangguan Hong had already been prepared, she was still a step too slow. She said sternly, “If you dare to hurt my daughter today, I will cut off one of your arms at all costs!” As he spoke, he flew over. However, the Di Gu Sword instantly turned into a sword light, and with a “bang”, it sent him flying back.
At this moment, Xiao Chen had already swiftly pointed at more than ten large acupoints on Shangguan Ruoxue’s body. At the same time, more than a dozen strands of life and death energy entered her body, sealing her entire cultivation.
“Snow!”
Shangguan Hong was even more shocked when she saw more than a dozen strands of unknown black gas enter her daughter’s body. However, at this moment, Shangguan Ruoxue was even calmer than him. He said, “Daddy, I’m fine” As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and said, “Mirage Sea Liu-Li, you’ve already obtained her. What else do you want?”
“Ruo … Ruo Xue …”
In the distance, Chu Qingyu’s entire body was covered in blood. Seeing Shangguan Ruoxue being captured, he was even more furious. However, at this moment, his injuries were too severe, and he was simply unable to save her.
