As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1280
Chapter 1280 Who Was Competing with Him?
“Then I’m afraid that the sect masters will be disappointed today.”
The cold and faint voice came from far away. At first, it sounded like it was outside the mountain, but when the last word fell, it sounded like it was in everyone’s ears.
The Misty Moon Sect Master and the others were stunned. They turned around and saw a figure floating towards them from afar. That person’s white hair was like snow, as if he was Xiao Yichen, who had disappeared a month ago.
“It’s him!”
The crowd instantly stirred up. Everyone also looked over. In their minds, they remembered the shocking scene a month ago. If Chu Fengyang was not protected by the Ancient Era’s War God Armor, he would probably have been injured by this person’s divine artifact.
“It really is him …”
Many of the people present were shocked. The competition could no longer continue. Everyone was still shocked by what happened a month ago. And today, could it be that he had returned to compete for the spots again?
But Chu Fengyang was guarding this place, and he was actually not afraid? Or was it that the divine artifact in his hand that day could be used again …
When Xiao Chen used the Golden Crow Foot that day, everyone saw it. After that use, the Golden Crow Foot immediately lost its luster and was covered in cracks. Therefore, everyone guessed that such a powerful divine artifact could only be used once in a short period of time.
And today, this person has swaggered back so arrogantly. Could it be that the divine artifact in his hand can be used again?
However, even so, Chu Fengyang, a dignified Three Realms expert, had already been defeated by him once. Even if he was hiding a divine artifact this time, how could he injure Chu Fengyang again? On the contrary, it would only make people want to kill and seize treasures …
“Grand Patriarch … look over there! It’s that brat!”
When Xiao Chen returned with such a high profile, it was clear that the Chu Clan members had also discovered him at the first possible moment on the distant mountain top.
Before the Chu Clan Elders could react, Chu Fengyang had already instantly flown over. A terrifying aura immediately enveloped the surroundings, intimidating the hearts of the people. At this moment, everyone felt as if they had been strangled in their throats, unable to breathe, unable to speak.
“Kid, I thought you weren’t coming back.”
Chu Fengyang’s eyes were filled with killing intent, but he did not seem to be a young man after all. At this moment, his words seemed to be testing something.
That day, he almost fell into Xiao Chen’s hands. Today, he was already very vigilant about the divine artifact in his opponent’s hands. And today, Xiao Chen had swaggered back so boldly. Obviously, he was even more vigilant because he couldn’t understand the truth.
“That’s right, Senior Chu must be very surprised.”
Xiao Chen’s voice was cold and indifferent. At this moment, it was still like a month ago, as if he did not put a Three Realms expert in his eyes at all.
The surrounding people felt an inexplicable chill rising from behind them. At this moment, they subconsciously retreated into the distance. Clearly, this final competition could no longer continue.
“Hmph, then I want to see if you’re that lucky today.”
Chu Fengyang’s eyes were ice-cold as he raised his palm and a Saint realm aura instantly pressed down on Xiao Chen.
However, at this moment, there seemed to be a deeper aura coming from somewhere, causing everyone present to instantly become silent. They didn’t even dare to move a single bit, as if they were going to be annihilated with a single move!
“Who is it!”
Chu Fengyang naturally felt this mysterious and profound aura in an instant. For a moment, it actually caused him to faintly suffocate. Who exactly was in this vicinity? He actually did not notice it? Moreover, why did this aura … create such a great pressure on him?
Just as everyone held their breath and remained silent in shock, a low and deep voice finally came from afar. “Chu Fengyang, today’s competition for spots is originally a competition between the juniors. It’s probably inappropriate for you to interfere.”
“Which … Senior?”
Some of the sect masters present were trembling with fear. Under the intimidation of this aura, they were even more terrified than when facing Chu Fengyang. It was as if the other party only needed a single strand of divine sense to completely wipe them out.
Just as everyone was panicking, a figure finally appeared in the distance. He was dressed in a black robe. It was none other than Mr. Mo, and Yanyue Wuqing was right next to him.
“I wonder which fellow daoist he is …”
Chu Fengyang held his breath and focused. His gaze landed motionlessly on the black-robed man who suddenly appeared in the distance. The more mysterious and unfathomable the man was, the more uneasy he felt.
Ever since he stepped into the third realm, he had never felt such pressure. Although the third realm he had stepped into could only be considered the “Pseudo Three Realms”, that is, it was still a step away from the true three realms, but in the eyes of cultivators at the first or second realms, he was already ranked among the experts of the three realms.
The atmosphere became more and more tense and cold. Everyone in the surroundings finally understood why Xiao Chen dared to come here unscrupulously today. It turned out that he had invited an expert.
Under everyone’s nervous gaze, Mr. Mo finally reached out and took off his battle robe. Although his face was already old, his gaze was the same as before, seemingly deep, and he couldn’t see the starry night sky.
“Mr. Devil Cry!”
Everyone present recognized him, and upon hearing the words “Mr. Devil Cry”, the expressions of both the older and younger generations changed completely.
Chu Fengyang felt as if he had lost his soul. His face was pale and he stood there motionless. He never expected that this brat would actually go to the forbidden area and invite Mr. Mo Wei from Modong City out.
Mr. Mo Wei lived in the forbidden area. It had been many years since he had come outside. He did not care about the battle outside. How did he invite Mr. Mo Wei out?
The surrounding people also seemed to have plunged into five miles of clouds and mist, completely ignoring the north, south, east, west, and north. How great was the name of Modong City, and how shocking was the name of Mister Mo Wei? How did this person invite Mister Mo Wei out of the forbidden area?
And this in front of him, was it really Mr. Devil Cry? But if not, then why is this aura on his body so frightening …
On the Chu Clan’s side, The elders were already trembling uneasily. His face was as pale as paper. However, Chu Fengyang’s cultivation was extraordinary. He quickly calmed down and looked at Mr. Mo. “I’ve heard of Mr. Mo Wei’s name for a long time. However, today is a grudge between our Chu Clan and this person. According to the rules of the Bone Corrosion Lands, this grudge must be resolved by both sides. It’s not to the point of alarming the forbidden area, right, Modong City?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding atmosphere became even colder. Everyone stared at this side and held their breaths in silence. The meaning behind Chu Fengyang’s words was extremely obvious, and it was indeed the case in the Bone Corrosion Lands. The Taboo Lands had their own forces. No matter how strong they were, it was not appropriate for them to interfere in matters outside.
“Oh?”
Mr. Mo’s expression was still calm. He put his hands behind his back and looked at him. He said indifferently, “Then you might as well try to touch him.”
At this moment, everyone’s hearts trembled even more. Although it was a calm sentence, the more it was like this, the more it was like a mountain pressing down on everyone’s hearts, preventing them from moving.
At this moment, a cold light flashed in Chu Fengyang’s eyes. However, the fear in his heart towards Mr. Mo was undoubtedly heavier. At this moment, he did not dare to act rashly.
The atmosphere was as cold as frost. Everyone held their breaths. The surroundings were incomparably quiet. Only the peak of the mountain was filled with cold winds.
After a while, Mr. Mo said, “I will not interfere in today’s competition for the spot in the Ancient Immortal Realm. Whether I succeed or fail is up to you all.” Then he looked at Xiao Chen and said, “Go and do what you did not finish a month ago.”
There was no need to say anything else. At this moment, the people from Senrota appeared on another mountain. He Chang Yin revealed a happy expression and waved to Xiao Chen, “Little friend Xiao … this way!”
A month ago, after Xiao Chen’s whereabouts were unknown, the hearts of the people in Senrota were almost ashen. After hearing about this, the Azure Water Tower’s Pagoda Master also sighed endlessly. In the end, his trust passed away with the flowing water.
However, everyone did not expect that not only did Xiao Chen return today, he also invited a big backer like Mr. Mo Wei. This time, the Chu Clan was even more powerful. Could it be that he still dared to challenge Modong City?
On the other side, Misty Moon Sect Master and the others’ faces were extremely ashen and ugly. But now, not only did Xiao Chen return, he also invited Mr. Devil Cry from the Forbidden Land. They dared to say nothing?
Xiao Chen didn’t hesitate anymore. He leapt up and flew to the top of the mountain where the cold wind was raging. A boundless aura sprayed out like this towering mountain, causing people to tremble.
The remaining disciples from the other sects and clans didn’t dare to act recklessly. Although they were very confident in their cultivation, they had seen this person kill everyone a month ago. Even if they were to fight together, they might not have a 30% chance of winning.
“Forget it, you guys can go together.”
Xiao Chen didn’t want to waste any time here. With a swipe of his finger, Di Gu Sword had already activated it. A cold sword intent enveloped it, causing the swords in the hands of countless people nearby to tremble.
“It’s that sword again …”
Everyone’s hearts trembled when they saw the Di Gu Sword in his hand. They had already witnessed the might of the sword that day, and there was no one who could defeat it. Even without the sword, this person’s strength was already terrifying. Adding this sword, who could be his opponent?
At this moment, the remaining members of the sect clans exchanged glances with each other. Not long ago, they were still opponents in the life-and-death battle. Now, with Xiao Chen’s return, they seemed to have suddenly become allies. At this moment, they understood each other and suddenly raised their magic treasures and Immortal Swords. They all used their most powerful killing moves to attack Xiao Chen directly, wanting to take his life!
Facing the cold killing intent, Xiao Chen still stood proudly on the top of the mountain, unmoving. When everyone was about to attack, he swung his sword and the sword qi surged out in a circle. With a “rumble”, all the people around him were shaken to the point that they spat out blood and flew away. Even the surrounding mountains were destroyed by his terrifying sword qi!
The sky was filled with dust and smoke. Many people were so scared that they kept retreating into the distance. When the smoke and dust dissipated, Xiao Chen pointed at the ground with Di Gu’s white hair flying behind his shoulders. None of the people present were his opponents, not even able to receive a single sword strike from him.
Many people’s hearts began to tremble. Looking at his cold white hair, only four words suddenly appeared in their minds: Who is competing with him?
