As the Universe Turns - Chapter 133

Chapter 133 Chase After
A cold breeze blew out of Dingfeng City. Xiao Chen sped all the way to the northwest. When it was midnight, a crescent moon hung diagonally in the sky. Suddenly, a “fiendish” wind rang out. Countless figures suddenly caught up behind him.

“Sure enough, he’s still here …”

Xiao Chen snorted coldly. Although he was careful when he left the city, he knew that Wuji Palace and Poison Dragon Fort were eyeing him. Since the other party was so unwilling to let him go, how could he not know the true intentions of Yi Wuji and Zong Xiaotian? It was only for the Heavenly Book that that person wanted.

But now, he would not waste time with these assassins. This place was still very close to Dingfeng City. Once it was restrained, more people would arrive from the other party very quickly. Therefore, he had to leave as soon as possible. The further away from Dingfeng City, the better.

Three days later, the moonlight brightened a little. When they arrived at a mountain range, they heard the sound of a “fiendish fiendish” wind. There were about a dozen killers chasing after them.

Xiao Chen finally stopped. He turned around and said coldly, “Follow me for three days and three nights. Show yourself.”

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

A gust of wind rang out. Under the moonlight, more than a dozen black figures flashed out. Obviously, they were all assassins with high cultivation levels. It was just that they didn’t know if they were from Wuji Palace, Poison Dragon Fort, or anyone else.

“Xiao Yichen, people don’t talk in secret. Hand over the Heavenly Book, and you can leave.”

A masked black-clothed man stood out. His eyes were extremely cold, and the two daggers in his hands were even colder.

“Heh …”

Xiao Chen smiled coldly, “It’s really man-made wealth. Birds die for food. One batch died, another batch came.”

Suddenly, he remembered the twelve black-clothed men back then. Was this Heavenly Book really that attractive? For thousands of years, it was enough to kill people one after another.

Suddenly, he remembered that this Heavenly Book had been imprinted into his divine sense by Senior Blame. Could it be that Senior Blame had also been chased after because he possessed the Heavenly Book?

It was strange that since Senior was able to imprint the Heavenly Book into his divine sense, he still didn’t teach others to notice it. With such a skill, he must be someone with an extremely high cultivation base. Then, who could chase after him?

“Heavenly Book, do you want to hand it over or not …”

The dozen black-clothed masked assassins gradually approached, interrupting his thoughts. The dagger in his hand glowed coldly, and his killing intent was similarly dense.

“Mantis catches cicadas, the yellow bird is behind you … Even if I leave it to you, how confident are you that you will be able to return alive?”

Xiao Chen’s eyes were indifferent. He flicked his sleeve and a sword appeared in his hand. Under the moonlight, the sword’s cold light was terrifying.

The sword in his hand was not a famous sword. It was just an ordinary sword that could be used to kill people.

“Humph!”

The dozen or so black-clothed assassins snorted coldly and immediately attacked. Their movements were as fast as ghosts, trapping Xiao Chen heavily in the middle in an instant.

“Naive.”

Xiao Chen’s eyes were ice-cold. He turned his wrist and the sword let out a howl. With a “chi” sound, blood splashed under the cold moon and a person’s life was immediately killed.

The rest of the assassins only said that he had learned the divine arts in the Book of Heaven, but they did not expect him to draw his sword so quickly. Before they could react, a few people felt their necks go cold and instantly fell down.

Xiao Chen was like a ghost shuttling between dozens of people. He came and went like the wind, shadowless and invisible. Every time he struck, one person would die. In a short moment, more than a dozen killers fell to the ground.

There were more than a dozen corpses on the ground, and each killer’s throat was sealed by a single sword strike. The originally cold and rustling mountain forest became even more miserable.

“Human beings die in pursuit of wealth and birds die in pursuit of food.”

Xiao Chen’s voice was faint. He put away his sword and went forward. Perhaps these people really underestimated him. They only said that he had practiced the cultivation technique in the Heavenly Book, but they didn’t know that he was still carrying the Ling Immortal Steps and the Jade Flute Sword Technique.

In the past, the Jade Flute Sword Technique didn’t want to be stained with blood, but now, the Jade Flute Sword Technique had a bit more killing intent.

…

In the next few days, Xiao Chen encountered several groups of killers who were chasing after him. He didn’t know where so many killers came from, but in the end, it was as if he had become a merciless killer.

This afternoon, he was drinking by a spring when he suddenly felt the killing intent behind him. With the sound of the wind, a sharp sword qi had already slashed towards him.

“Bang!”

With a sharp sound, the rocks shattered, and the spring water rose more than ten feet high. Xiao Chen had instantly jumped onto a large tree. He stared at the three old men in green who were staring at him coldly. It was obvious that their cultivation levels were far from those of the killers of the past few days.

“You attacked from behind without even saying hello. Are you dogs? You just rushed up and bit people.” Xiao Chen looked at the three people who wanted to kill him and said calmly.

“Xiao Yichen, you don’t have to run anymore. In front of you is the endless desert. When you reach the desert, you will die faster and your bones will be gone.”

However, the three elders were not like the killers of the past few days, and they spoke of the Heavenly Book.

“No one has ever been able to cross the Desert of Death. You are no exception. Follow us back. You know that the main thing in the palace is not your life.”

“Is that so?”

Xiao Chen glanced at the three of them and slowly said, “What do you think would happen if Xiao went out and told the people outside that I had given the Heavenly Book to Wuji Palace?”

Hearing this, the eyes of the three old men became much colder. “Xiao Yichen, don’t toast without taking the punishment. Now, the three of us are trying to persuade each other. If the Yin Yang Dharma King comes personally, you will know what it means to not beg for death …” The old man on the left said, “Xiao Yichen, don’t toast without taking the punishment.”

“Oh? Yi Wuji really thinks highly of someone like Xiao.”

Xiao Chen smiled coldly, “If you want the Book of Heaven, then come to the Desert of Death … and look for it.” After saying that, he pointed his feet and immediately used his movement technique to flee to the distant mountain range.

“Don’t leave!”

The three old men in green immediately chased after him with their flying swords. The Death Desert in front of them was extremely dangerous. They could not allow Xiao Chen to run into the desert. At the very least, they had to intercept Xiao Chen before the Yin Yang Dharma King arrived.

The three of them caught up in an instant. The old man in the middle rode the takeoff sword and slashed forward. He saw a hundred zhang of sword energy piercing through the air and slashing towards Xiao Chen like it was destroying the heavens and the earth. Under the surge of sword energy, the rocks below continued to shatter and vegetation flew everywhere.

Seeing that the sword strike was ferocious, Xiao Chen raised his left hand and a purple palm force surged out from his sleeve. With a “rumble”, it blocked the old man’s sword qi.

“You can’t leave!”

Although the old man’s sword qi was blocked, the two people on the left and right rushed forward.

The two of them raised their palms, and their palms were earth-shattering. They struck at Xiao Chen one after another, causing the mountains below to tremble endlessly, causing the birds and beasts within a radius of more than ten kilometers to fly away.

Xiao Chen did not forcefully receive the palm power of these two people. Ling Xian’s footsteps flew forward quickly. Both sides chased for half an incense stick of time in this mountain range. The vegetation in front of them gradually thinned and the temperature gradually rose. It was obvious that they were not far from the Death Desert.

“Stay!”

Suddenly, an old man rushed forward. His gaze was incomparably cold. His sleeve robe suddenly magnified by many times, and a strong wind blew inside, as if it was going to cover Xiao Chen alive.

However, he didn’t know that there was already a silver needle in Xiao Chen’s black robe. With a “whoosh” sound, the Blood Transformation Needle broke through the air and disappeared without a trace. The old man hadn’t expected that the other party would suddenly release a hidden weapon. At this moment, it was too close, but it was too late to dodge. He could only condense a layer of protective true essence.

Unexpectedly, the layer of True Essence that had just condensed was too fragile. It was directly pierced through by the Blood Transformation Needle, and with a “chi” sound, it pierced into his throat.

“Uh …”

After being pierced into his throat, the old man’s face darkened. The blood in his body froze in an instant. The two old men behind him chased after him, wanting to help him with his cultivation. However, the old man clutched his throat tightly and said, “Chase …”

The two of them had no choice but to leave him and continue chasing after Xiao Chen. However, they did not dare to rashly approach each other this time. When they chased after him for more than twenty li, they saw layers of black clouds suddenly surging towards them from the horizon behind, which was originally cloudless.

The black clouds covered the sky and covered the sun in an instant. A large shadow descended, as if devouring the heavens and devouring the earth. A terrifying aura emitted from the clouds, causing one to almost suffocate.

“Damn, it’s the Yin Yang Dharma King …”

Xiao Chen immediately thought that something was wrong. He was just about to unleash the Instant Step Cosmos, but he didn’t expect a black palm print of a hundred feet in the sky to hit him. A terrifying force instantly sealed off all directions. Even the Instant Step Cosmos couldn’t escape.

“Boom!”

With a loud explosion, that palm force pressed down like Mount Tai, causing a violent tremor within a radius of ten kilometers. Large areas of the hill collapsed, causing dust to fly up and roll upside down.

Fortunately, Xiao Chen used Ling Xianbu to avoid it in time. Otherwise, if he was struck by that palm, his soul would be severely injured even if he didn’t die.

The black clouds gradually disappeared from the sky. A figure suddenly flew down. That person was sturdy and wore a black and white robe. His body was wrapped in two Genuine energy, one black and one white. His eyes were as cold as ice. He was the Yin Yang Dharma King.

Seeing the Dharma King arrive, the two old men trembled and immediately cupped their hands, “Greetings, Dharma King.”

At this moment, the Yin Yang Dharma King’s gaze was cold. He did not look at the two of them. Instead, he looked coldly at Xiao Chen and said in a very gloomy voice, “Go by yourself. This King should take your soul away.”

Just as he finished speaking, another figure suddenly flew over from afar. That person landed on the ground, his body shrouded in poisonous mist, but it was a man dressed in Qingyi.

The man smiled and said, “The Dharma King has already caught up to this person.”

“Oh? Hall Master Soul Devouring is also here.”

The Yin Yang Dharma King glanced at him, his voice neither cold nor hot.

This Qingyi man was the hall master of the Soul Devouring Hall of Poison Dragon Fort. Obviously, Yi Wuji wanted the Heavenly Book, and Zong Xiaotian also wanted the Heavenly Book. Who in the world didn’t want the Heavenly Book?

At this moment, Xiao Chen felt cold sweat dripping down his back. Just a Yin Yang Dharma King was already impossible for him to escape. Now, there was another Hall Master from Poison Dragon Fort. What should he do now?

“Humph!”

The Yin Yang Dharma King snorted coldly. Those who were unhappy with Poison Dragon Fort intervened at this moment. He raised his hand and a terrifying Yin Yang energy enveloped Xiao Chen.

Seeing him attack, the Soul Devouring Pavilion Master instantly launched an offensive. The poisonous mist filled the sky and swept towards Xiao Chen. How could these two experts attack at the same time be idle? Xiao Chen only felt his breath stifle. Being enveloped by these two terrifying powers, he was actually unable to move a single step forward.

Just at this critical moment, a flute sound suddenly came from the distant horizon. That flute sound suddenly sounded in the heavens and earth, appearing exceptionally abrupt.

At this moment, the wind stopped and the power dissipated, as if even time had stopped.

The sound of the flute seemed to attract people’s attention, causing the two great experts, the Yin Yang Dharma King and the Soul Devouring Hall Master, to stop at the same time. They were stunned on the spot and did not dare to act rashly anymore.
