As the Universe Turns - Chapter 128
Chapter 128 Impermanence
“Stop talking nonsense. Quickly give it to me.”
At this moment, Lady Rakshasa was afraid that he wouldn’t give it to her, so she stretched out her hand. Xiao Chen said, “If you are injured, you should think of a way to get out first.”
“I don’t care. Give me the Heavenly Sect scroll first.”
Lady Rakshasa knitted his eyebrows and walked over. He extended his hand towards him and said with a frown, “Give it to me or not.”
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and looked at her helplessly. Could it be that he wanted to tell her that he had taken away the entire Dark Asura Palace’s scroll? Then he slowly scrolled around here, looking for it one by one?
“I can’t give it to you now. We’ll talk about it later.”
“You …”
“Shh!”
Xiao Chen suddenly made a silent gesture and three silver needles appeared in his hand. In the distant moonlight, three silhouettes could be seen faintly fumbling towards him.
The two of them lowered their bodies a little. When the three of them approached, Lady Rakshasa waved his hand and three Soul Seizing Ice Needles flew out in an instant, immediately killing the three of them.
“This place is not safe. They will come at any time. Hurry up and leave.”
Xiao Chen glanced at the three corpses on the ground and put away the Blood Transformation Needle in his hand. He immediately went forward with Lady Rakshasa. The two of them could not ride their swords. Once they were in the air, they would definitely be stopped by Wuji Palace and Poison Dragon Fort.
Two hours later, the moon shone brightly over the entire mountain range. The two of them ran all the way, but they still hadn’t walked out of the mountain range.
Lady Rakshasa’s face was getting paler and paler. He shook his head and said, “No … they’ve already set up a restriction here. I have to force the poison out first and undo the Taiji seal … Otherwise, we won’t be able to get out.”
Xiao Chen glanced at her. Right now, this was the only way. He was determined that he could not escape from Wuji Palace and Poison Dragon Fort’s pursuit.
At this moment, the two of them found a hidden cave. Lady Rakshasa sat on the ground, not caring that Xiao Chen was still at the side. With a “chi” sound, he tore off the front of his left shoulder. At the point where the sleeve arrow entered, a circle of black toxin had begun to spread, causing his originally flawless skin to look exceptionally terrifying.
“It’s Yi Wuji’s unique poison …”
Lady Rakshasa’s face was drenched in cold sweat, and even his lips became very pale. He looked at Xiao Chen and said, “Young Master Xiao, could you bring some water for me?”
Xiao Chen looked under her shoulder and did not say anything. He immediately went outside the cave. Lady Rakshasa lowered her head and looked at the sleeve arrow under her shoulder. Fortunately, the arrow did not injure her heart meridians. Otherwise, if it poisoned her heart meridians, the consequences would be embarrassing.
“Chi …”
With a light sound, she gritted her teeth and pulled out the sleeve arrow. Purple-black blood mixed with green venom flowed out, looking extremely terrifying.
Moments later, Xiao Chen returned with a bamboo tube of water. Lady Rakshasa’s face turned a little pale. She said “Thank you” and took the water to wash the wound clean.
“I can’t use my cultivation right now. Can you help me force the poison out?” Lady Rakshasa looked at him with a pleading look in her eyes.
Xiao Chen did not say anything. He slowly sat behind her. Lady Rakshasa knitted her brows. At a time when her life was at stake, she could no longer care about the difference between men and women. She slowly caressed the clothes on the left side so that he could feel his true energy.
Her jade back was like snow, and under her left shoulder, there were three unknown flowers tattooed. These three flowers looked very special and did not seem to be tattooed. For a moment, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but be stunned.
“Young Master Xiao?”
Seeing that he hadn’t reacted for a long time, Lady Rakshasa shouted softly. Only then did Xiao Chen regain his senses. Genuine energy’s luck landed on her back, and strands of True Qi kept pouring in.
Another hour passed, and Lady Rakshasa’s expression finally improved slightly. The Taiji Seal was also released for the time being, but at this moment, a cold aura suddenly came from outside, causing her expression to change and she made a silent gesture.
Xiao Chen was also on alert. He could feel that the cultivators outside were very high, far above the old man in green from Poison Dragon Fort.
“It’s Black Impermanence. He should have already discovered us.” Lady Rakshasa’s face was drenched in cold sweat as she sent a secret message behind her.
“Then what should we do now?”
Xiao Chen slowly recovered his strength. Three more Blood Transformation Needles appeared in his hand. Lady Rakshasa quickly pressed down on the back of his hand and shook his head. He whispered, “No … That person’s cultivation is not as simple as you think. Your hidden weapon can’t kill him.”
“Fiendish fiendish fiendish fiendish …”
The sound of wind blowing and grass moving was getting closer and closer, and the aura was getting closer and closer. Lady Rakshasa finally recovered her complexion. At this moment, the blood color gradually faded away, and cold sweat dripped down her back.
If she was at her peak, speaking slowly of the Black Impermanence, even if the Black and White Impermanence were to be added together, she would not be afraid at all. Only the other party would be able to flee for her life, but now that her cultivation was restricted, she was determined not to be a match for the Black Impermanence.
“He must have discovered us …”
Lady Rakshasa slowly calmed down and whispered, “The reason he doesn’t attack now is because he doesn’t know how much of my strength has recovered, so he is still hesitating. But if he finds out about my current situation, neither of us will be able to escape tonight … Black and white are impermanence, soul-seizing and life-threatening. No one can escape.”
She paused for a moment before turning to look at Xiao Chen and continuing, “There’s only one way now. Wait until you seize the right opportunity and use all your strength to go out and kill him. I’ll see if I can use the Soul Snatching Ice Needle to restrain him. If you fail, you must immediately return to the cave. You are no match for him alone.”
Hearing this, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but frown. When Mistress Rakshasa saw his suspicious expression, she frowned and said, “At this moment, our lives are tied together. If you give birth to me, you will live. If you die, I will die. Do you think I will harm you?”
“If I die, you die.”
Xiao Chen stopped talking to her and quietly moved to the entrance of the cave. He secretly circulated the cultivation technique in the Heavenly Book, and more than a dozen ice needles appeared in Lady Rakshasa’s hands.
The wind passed silently, and killing intent gradually approached.
The figure outside was getting closer and closer. Under the moonlight, it was an old man dressed in black. His face was deathly lifeless. He really looked like that impermanence ghost. It was precisely Yi Wuji’s subordinate, the Black Impermanence of the Impermanence Palace.
At this moment, he was getting closer and closer, but he was extremely cautious. What he wanted to deal with wasn’t anyone else, but the Lord of the Wind Tower. If it was during Lady Rakshasa’s heyday, he would only be able to flee for his life. But at this moment, even if Lady Rakshasa was restricted by the Taiji Seal, he didn’t dare to be careless. Moreover, there was a kid with a strange cultivation method inside.
The cold wind whispered, and the night of killing intent grew deeper and deeper.
Black Impermanence finally arrived at a place less than ten feet away from the cave. At this moment, a figure suddenly flew out. He raised his palm and a ferocious palm force struck, causing the surrounding vegetation to fly everywhere.
In the blink of an eye, Black Impermanence couldn’t see who that black figure was. He raised both his palms to resist, and with a “bang”, the two palms collided, shaking up the surrounding soil.
Xiao Chen could only feel his aura being blocked. He was completely unable to withstand this overwhelming palm force, and his body immediately flew backwards uncontrollably.
The moment he flew back, a dozen streaks of cold light suddenly flew out of the cave under the moonlight. Black Impermanence’s eyes sharpened, and he immediately saw that it was Lady Rakshasa’s Soul Snatching Ice Needle. He didn’t dare to underestimate it at all. He abruptly raised his profound arts, and with a “clanging clanging” sound, all the dozen ice needles were shattered.
Seeing that Xiao Chen’s dozen or so ice needles had all failed, Lady Rakshasa did not hesitate at this moment. He unleashed Ling Xian’s footsteps and immediately returned to the cave.
“Lady Rakshasa, come out and hide in the cave. It doesn’t look like your style.”
Black Impermanence approached step by step, but he still didn’t dare to be too careless. He didn’t dare to directly charge into the cave like this. What if there was a scam? After all, this woman, Feng Manlou, was full of tricks.
Lady Rakshasa laughed and said, “Black Impermanence, if you dare to come in, you might as well come in and try. Don’t worry, the Limitless Seal in my body doesn’t have much ability.”
“Is that so …”
Black Impermanence was getting closer and closer, but he would not dare to barge in so rashly until he knew the truth.
At this moment, another gust of wind rang out. A few more ice needles shot out from the cave. Black Impermanence hurriedly avoided them. After standing firmly, he stared into the cave. However, he couldn’t see anything. He didn’t know where the two of them were. The two of them had completely concealed their auras, so he was completely unable to distinguish them.
“Hehe, Black Impermanence, do you know why Yi Wuji only allowed you to come alone and not Bai Impermanence with you?”
Lady Rakshasa’s faint laughter came from inside the cave, but Black Impermanence ignored it. He did not dare to be distracted, so he did not listen to what this woman said. He only carefully moved closer and closer to the cave.
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, a few more ice needles shot out. Black Impermanence Qi condensed his palm and shattered those ice needles. He carefully probed the other party’s reality. With Lady Rakshasa’s cultivation, the ice needles shouldn’t have been shattered so easily. Could it be that she was intentionally luring him inside?
The more Black Impermanence thought about it, the harder it felt to distinguish the real from the real. He could only approach carefully step by step. In the cave, Lady Rakshasa had already sent out several Soul Snatching Ice Needles, but they were all shattered by the other party without exception. She was completely unable to injure this person.
When she condensed a few ice needles in her hand again, this time, Xiao Chen suddenly held her hand and shook his head. On his right hand, there were three cold silver needles.
Lady Rakshasa looked at the three silver needles in his hand. At this moment, she seemed to understand something. The two of them exchanged a glance, and it was hard to resist.
Suddenly, Lady Rakshasa waved his hand and three Soul Snatching Ice Needles flew out of the cave. At this moment, Xiao Chen also sent out three Blood Transforming Needles. These three Blood Transforming Needles were actually accurately pierced into the Ice Needles.
There was no common attack from the outside. It was just like how it had been earlier. However, unexpectedly, after the layer of ice needles outside shattered, all the Blood Transforming Needles inside shot into his body. One pierced into his arm from the center of his palm, and the other two pierced into Shanzhong acupoint in his chest and under his right shoulder.
“Uh …”
At this moment, Black Impermanence’s expression changed. His face twisted terrifyingly. He knew that he had been struck by an extremely powerful hidden weapon. He didn’t hesitate at this moment. His hands rushed towards the large acupoints on his body. At this moment, Xiao Chen and Lady Rakshasa also attacked from within the cave.
