As the Universe Turns - Chapter 130

Chapter 130 Xiaofeng Canyue
Xiao Chen did not say anything. He slowly raised his palm and looked at the strand of death energy in his palm. He remained silent and quietly moved forward.

After walking for nearly two hours, the two of them were finally about to leave this mountain range. As long as they left this mountain range and didn’t go far, they would be in the East City. Once they reached Fengman Attic, they naturally wouldn’t have any worries.

However, when the two of them arrived at a secluded valley, countless figures suddenly appeared in all directions under the moonlight. Those people were obviously Wuji Palace’s elite assassins, none of them of low cultivation.

“Childe Xiao …”

Lady Rakshasa was on alert and slowly approached Xiao Chen. She was only restricted by this. Otherwise, no matter how many assassins came, who would be able to stop her? Just dying.

Xiao Chen slowly focused his attention and became alert. His eyes were as cold as frost. He had already consumed too much tonight and was injured by the Black Impermanence before. He could no longer control his life and death. Otherwise, he did not know what would happen.

“Fiendish fiendish fiendish fiendish …”

The silhouettes were getting closer and closer, layering in all directions. It seemed that there were at least two to three hundred people, or even more. It was unknown how many people were still hiding in the distance.

“Lady Rakshasa, Hall Master, your life. I’m afraid you won’t be able to return to East City tonight.”

A cold voice sounded. Suddenly, a black-clothed man walked out of the shadows. After that man finished speaking, he slowly looked at Xiao Chen and said, “As for you, hand over all the scrolls that Dark Asura Palace took away. I’m willing to let you live.”

Hearing this, Lady Rakshasa was stunned for a moment. Then, she immediately looked at Xiao Chen beside her and asked in astonishment, “Did you take all the scrolls from Dark Asura Palace?”

Xiao Chen stared at these dark night killers and didn’t say anything. He only nodded quietly.

Lady Rakshasa suddenly felt a burst of dizziness. He thought to himself, “Is this person looking for trouble?” No wonder why Yi Wuji sent so many people here tonight to let him take the Heavenly Sect Scroll. What does it matter if he emptied other people’s houses? It’s really nothing to cause trouble …

“No, no, no.” Lady Rakshasa covered his head and said, “Take care of yourself. I need to rest for a while.”

“But the person they want to kill is not me, but you.”

Xiao Chen’s voice was cold as he stared at the approaching Dark Night Killers. He secretly stored his strength in his palm. However, with his current state, if he wanted to deal with two to three hundred well-trained killers, he would probably be pierced through by countless daggers before he could even make a move.

“How troublesome …”

Lady Rakshasa condensed a dozen Soul Snatching Ice Needles in her hand, but how could she deal with two to three hundred people now? Moreover, now that their positions had been exposed, the pursuers behind them were likely to arrive soon.

Layers upon layers of figures approached, arriving close. All of a sudden, they attacked. At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly rang out. Something flashed through the night. There was a’chi chi chi chi ‘sound. A layer of bloody smell immediately filled the forest. Dozens of killers had fallen for no apparent reason.

“Who is it!”

The rest of the assassins’ expressions changed in an instant. As assassins, they were best at assassinating in the dark. However, just now, someone flashed past their eyes and killed dozens of them in an instant. Not a single one of them could see who the other party was or how they attacked.

“Chi chi chi!”

Another rumble echoed. A black shadow shuttled back and forth among the 200 plus people. In an instant, dozens of people were killed. In a short moment, more than 200 people had actually fallen. They were unable to see who it was until they died. They were unable to see the sword clearly until they died.

At this moment, the vast forest was filled with a bloody aura. Only the leader of the black-clothed assassins was still standing there. His eyes were wide open, and he didn’t even spit out a single word. His body fell backwards, and a sword wound appeared on his throat.

“Whoosh–”

With a gust of wind, the figure finally appeared and slowly walked out of the forest filled with corpses. He was wearing a black battle robe and a battle robe hat. He could not see his face clearly, but the sword in his hand was actually not stained with a drop of blood.

“Senior Chu!”

Lady Rakshasa was both surprised and delighted. She did not expect that Chu Tianyao would actually appear at this moment. In an instant, he could seal the throat of more than 200 well-trained assassins with a single sword strike. Who else could be in this world other than this Senior Sword Immortal?

Xiao Chen looked around at the corpses that had fallen. They were all throats sealed with a single sword. What a fast sword, what a fast movement technique. Lady Rakshasa called him Senior Chu, then he wasn’t from Fengman Attic. Who exactly was he? His sword technique had already reached such a peak …

“Mm …”

Chu Tianyao nodded slightly and put away his sword. He slowly walked over and looked at the two of them. He then looked at the distant mountains shrouded in the darkness and said, “You guys go back first. I will cut off the rear for you here.”

“Mm-hmm! Thank you, Senior Chu!”

Lady Rakshasa was very happy and nodded. In front of the others, she was the cold, heartless and ruthless Lord Fengman Attic, but in front of this mysterious Sword Immortal, she actually revealed her little daughter’s side.

The two of them walked towards Dongcheng. Just as they were about fifty to sixty feet away, Chu Tianyao suddenly said, “Little friend Xiao, don’t forget what I said to you that night.”

Xiao Chen stopped and said, “Thank you, senior.” Without stopping, he went out with Lady Rakshasa.

When she was about to arrive at Dongcheng, Lady Rakshasa looked behind her and turned around. She looked at the person beside her with interest and asked, “What did Senior Chu mean? What did he say to you that night?”

Xiao Chen did not say anything. He only raised his hand to look at his palm and continued to walk silently with his head lowered. Mistress Rakshasa saw that he didn’t want to say more, so she didn’t ask any further.

After leaving the mountain range, a dozen figures suddenly appeared in front of them. The leader was Yaoji. The dozen people immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed their heads. “This subordinate escorted us here late. Please forgive me!”

“I don’t blame you. Go back now.”

Lady Rakshasa raised his hand. At this moment, he became the ice-cold Lord of Fengman Attic. When he arrived in Dongcheng, he naturally had no worries. When the group returned to Fengman Attic, the moon had already set and the sky was about to break.

Returning to the palace, Lady Rakshasa still didn’t care about her injuries. Instead, she cared more about the Heavenly Sect Scroll. She stretched out her hand and said to Xiao Chen, “Can you give it to me now?”

Xiao Chen was too lazy to talk to her. With a flick of his sleeve, countless scrolls immediately covered the ground. “Take your time looking for them.” After saying that, he went out of the hall.

In the empty hall, only Lady Rakshasa was left standing on the spot, staring blankly at the scrolls on the ground. She really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She really emptied everyone else’s house.

Returning to the courtyard’s pavilion, Xiao Chen sat by the windowsill and watched as the breeze blew and rustled. For some reason, his heart was filled with panic and frustration.

He raised his palm and looked at the faint strand of black gas in his palm. This aura of death was getting heavier and heavier. Could it be that he had really become an immortal monster like those corpse puppets?

Wherever he went, there would be death. It was even more terrifying than those corpse puppets. If Wei Yang saw him at this moment, would she still like him …

Xiaofeng Canyue was worried about the tip of her brows.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Chen didn’t want to think about it anymore. A gentle breeze blew across his face as he looked at the bright blue sky. The moon had gradually faded away. Suddenly, he thought of Qiushui Wuqing in his mind.

“Thinking back to the past, Xiaofeng Canyue and Dream Like Yesterday, how can I endure such a long hatred? The only thing left is the cold autumn …”

The scenes of the Purple Night Peak in the past were now remembered again. It was only because of the loneliness and coldness of this moment that he felt a little more sad.

Junior Sister, what is Junior Sister doing now …

Qiushui Wuqing … Junior Sister …

Suddenly, something flashed through his mind, causing his expression to change. Junior Sister, Junior Sister …

It was only at this moment that he suddenly remembered something. In the past, when he practiced the Qiushui Swordsmanship on Purple Night Peak, no matter how complicated the swordsmanship technique was, his junior sister was always able to learn it faster than him. She only needed one move to remember it. Even though she had comprehended the last move of Qiushui Wuqing for a long time, she had only glanced at it and remembered it …

Junior Sister’s attainments in swordsmanship …

“Little friend Xiao, don’t forget what I said to you that night …”

Impossible … Impossible!

At this moment, his heart trembled. His face had long since lost its color. Impossible, impossible, impossible to be a junior sister. It could not be her. It could not be her. How could it be her!

“Ah!”

“Impossible … Impossible! It can’t be her! Ah–”

Xiao Chen covered his head with both hands. His eyes were wide open and bloodshot. He jumped out of the window and stretched out his hand. He condensed a long sword and stabbed at the flowers and trees in the courtyard.

“Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!”

“Impossible! Impossible!”

“It can’t be her! How could it be her! Ah!”

At this moment, Xiao Chen seemed to have gone mad. He had never been mad before, causing him to gradually lose control. A long sword in his hand chopped and stabbed randomly, causing the leaves in the courtyard to fly everywhere in an instant. Leaves were chopped into pieces by the sword and fell to the ground.

“Young Master Xiao!”

At some unknown time, a purple-clothed woman suddenly came in and stared at him blankly.

Xiao Chen was like a madman. He didn’t care who it was. He turned around and stabbed his sword. With a “zheng” sound, the tip of the sword stopped in front of the woman. It was less than an inch away from her throat.

“Xiao … Young Master Xiao, you … what’s wrong with you …”

This woman was naturally none other than Yaoji.

Yaoji looked at the shattered leaves on the ground. At this moment, she was also frightened by Xiao Chen’s appearance. When she first came back, she saw that he was still fine. Why did he suddenly become so crazy and terrifying? It was as if he had completely changed into a different person.

“Get out.”

Xiao Chen’s eyes were bloodshot. His expression was extremely terrifying, and his voice was extremely cold. Yaoji slowly put down the sword in his hand and whispered, “I saw that Young Noble was injured, so I specially gave him some …”

“I said … get out.”

At this moment, Xiao Chen’s voice was extremely cold. Yaoji’s entire body trembled and her face turned extremely pale.

Even though she had seen Xiao Chen’s icy cold and untalkative expression for the past month, she had never seen Xiao Chen’s frightening and cold gaze before, causing her to stay where she was and not dare to move a single bit.
