As the Universe Turns - Chapter 157

Chapter 157 Sword Spirit
“Ah …”

Ling Luan was stunned. After a while, she finally reacted. She shook her hand and said, “It’s fine, it’s fine. I’m not scared. You don’t have to worry …”

“You don’t understand.”

Xiao Chen took a deep breath and looked up at the pitch-black night sky. After a long time, he said, “Anyway, stay away from me.”

“Why?”

Ling Luan looked at him puzzledly. At first, she thought that this person was always cold and cold, rejecting people thousands of miles away, sealing herself off. But now, it seemed that this was not the case.

“Liao Wuchen, tell me what’s going on. We can be friends. I can help you …”

“Let’s go back.”

Xiao Chen stopped talking to her and walked up the pavilion.

Ling Luan stood alone in the courtyard, looking at the flickering candle flames in the room. She could feel that this man was still hiding a loneliness under his cold gaze.

Inside the room, Xiao Chen closed his eyes and remained silent. It was as if he had only brought calamity to the people around him from the moment he was born. The ancient village, his master, Wei Yang … and even the flowers and grass couldn’t escape now.

This was like a curse. Up until now, he didn’t even dare to return to Butterfly Valley because he was afraid that it would bring disaster to Shen Jing.

…

The next day, Xiao Chen went to the elders to prepare to meet with Daoist Gudeng. When he came back in the afternoon, he saw that there were many people gathered outside his courtyard. More than twenty rookies were present, as well as some old disciples of Celestial Pogoda.

Seeing that he had returned, everyone moved aside. Ling Luan hurriedly walked up and said, “Liao Wuchen …”

Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and stopped her from continuing. When he arrived in front of the courtyard, he saw that the flowers and grass inside had been chopped into a mess by the sword qi. They had all withered and left behind many sword marks on the wall.

There was no need to ask, he had already guessed who did it.

Right at this moment, an icy cold female voice suddenly sounded from behind, “Liao Wuchen, are you finally back …”

Hearing this voice, many people trembled and quickly retreated into the distance. Qin E walked over step by step, her gaze as cold as two unsheathed swords. Anyone who touched it would be injured by the sword qi.

“Did these flowers and grass provoke you?”

Xiao Chen turned around and said calmly as he looked at her.

Qin E’s eyes were frighteningly cold. Originally, she was already very upset that she had stayed on the 36th floor this time. Now, it was good that someone had pushed her down. She didn’t care if it was because the other party’s time had come or not, she couldn’t swallow this breath anyway.

“Zheng!”

With a sharp sound, Qin E already had a long sword in her hand. She coldly pointed at Xiao Chen and said, “Three days later, in the Cultivation Valley Battle, do you dare?”

As soon as these words were spoken, many people in the surroundings became silent. It was not that they did not know about the temper of this young miss of the Tianlan Sword Sect. Her father was the Tianlan Sect Master, “Tianlan Sword Sovereign”. Even Feng Gufei would not provoke this woman. This time, Liao Wuchen would be in trouble.

Xiao Chen ignored her and walked straight into the courtyard. Seeing that he ignored him, Qin E’s eyes became even colder. She shouted coldly, “I’m asking you a question! Why don’t you answer?”

This shocked many people. Ling Luan took a step forward and said, “Hey! Why are you so fierce? Liao Wuchen didn’t have time that day and didn’t intentionally squeeze you down. Besides, challenging Celestial Pogoda was based on your own abilities. Why are you …”

“Zheng!”

With a sharp sound, before Ling Luan could finish her sentence, Qin E slashed a sharp sword qi at her feet, causing the earth to fly everywhere. She said coldly, “Who are you? When is it your turn to teach this young miss a lesson!”

“You!”

Ling Luan’s face and body were splashed with mud. Just as she was about to say something, the two girls behind her hurriedly pulled her back. While shaking their heads, they wiped the mud off her face.

Xiao Chen finally turned around and said indifferently, “You have to go somewhere else. This is not the place for you to come.” After saying that, he turned around and walked into the courtyard.

This time, everyone suddenly felt a chill run down their spines. No one dared to say that about Qin E. This person was really …

Sure enough, Qin E’s eyes turned extremely cold, and her face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. With a “zheng” sound, she stabbed at him with a sword.

The sword move was extremely swift, and it was a surprise attack from behind. It had to pierce through a person’s chest. Ling Luan was shocked, “Liao Wuchen, be careful!”

Xiao Chen sensed the murderous aura coming from behind him. He instantly turned around and clenched the sword with a “zheng” sound. No matter how hard Qin E tried, the tip of the sword could no longer move forward.

“He …”

Everyone in the distance was even more shocked. They didn’t expect his strength to be so profound. With just two fingers, he could condense Qin E’s sword. Just how high was his cultivation?

At this moment, Xiao Chen’s eyes were ice-cold. Layers of cold energy enveloped his body, causing him to tremble. Qin Er’s face was also covered in frost. The sword in her right hand could no longer pierce out, so she raised her left hand and struck him with her palm.

Xiao Chen flicked his sleeve and instantly dissipated her palm power. Then, his two fingers exerted force and condensed. There was a “ding ding ding ding” sound. The sword in Qin E’s hand instantly broke into five or six pieces.

“Bang!”

Another sharp sound rang out. Before everyone could see it clearly, Qin E had already been pushed back several zhang by Xiao Chen’s palm power, and the five or six broken swords had also landed at her feet.

Of course, this sword was only an ordinary sword used by disciples to practice or compare notes. It was not an immortal sword cultivated by everyone, but even so, the people in the distance were still deeply stunned. He actually … broke Qin E’s sword.

At this moment, even the wind was filled with coldness. Everyone felt a wave of fear. Qin E lowered her head and her hair fell down to cover her face. However, at this moment, the growing coldness on her body caused everyone to feel suffocated. Step by step, she retreated backwards.

Xiao Chen’s eyes were cold. He flicked his sleeves and turned around to walk into the courtyard. At this moment, Qin E suddenly raised her head. Her face was covered with layers of frost, and her eyes were as terrifying as two cold swords.

“Liao Wuchen …”

Qin E’s eyes were terrifying. She suddenly formed a seal with both her hands. A phoenix cry rang out. In her hand, there was an immortal sword with green light. A wave of sword intent spread out, causing everyone to tremble.

“That’s … the Blue Phoenix Sword!”

Everyone was shocked. Qin E stabbed at Xiao Chen with an immortal sword in her hand. At this moment, a green light instantly enveloped her entire body. It was as if she was one with a human sword. The sword qi surged out, and even those who were dozens of feet away were sent flying.

“Liao Wuchen! Be careful!”

This time, Ling Luan was truly frightened to the point her face turned pale. Xiao Chen also felt the real danger at this moment. He turned around and used both his palms to block Qin E’s sword. However, this time, the sword was unstoppable like a ten thousand meter tsunami, forcing him to constantly retreat. Even the ground along the way cracked.

Suddenly, another phoenix cry rang out. A cyan sword mark suddenly appeared between Qin Emei’s eyebrows. Behind her, there was also a ten zhang long cyan divine bird shadow.

The ancient god aura overwhelmed everyone. Many people cried out in shock, “It’s the Blue Phoenix Sword Spirit! The Ancient Blue Phoenix Sword Spirit!”

The Cang Luan Sword Spirit rushed over, causing Xiao Chen’s heart to tremble. Before he could activate his cultivation, a loud “bang” was heard, and he was sent flying by the powerful sword qi.

“Liao Wuchen!”

Ling Luan’s face was already deathly pale. Seeing Qin Es sword piercing forward, she did not have time to consider it. She instantly twisted her fingers and formed a seal, forming an ice blue water shield to block Xiao Chen’s path. However, when Qin Es sword pierced forward, the water shield was immediately shattered into pieces, and she did not have the slightest ability to resist.

This sword attack was extremely urgent. Xiao Chen instantly condensed a long sword. However, he heard a “clank clank clank” sound. The sword in his hand was immediately sliced into countless pieces and flew out.

The Blue Phoenix Sword sliced iron like mud, and even some immortal swords were difficult to resist, let alone an ordinary sword.

“Clang! Clang!”

Another sharp sound rang out. The Xiao Chen shields condensed by Genuine energy were also shattered. The sword energy was still unstoppable, covering his entire body. The Blue Phoenix Sword Spirit behind him let out a roar and dived down from the sky. A strong wind blew for several miles, causing plants and vegetation to fly everywhere.

“Bang!”

With a loud explosion, Xiao Chen took advantage of the situation to fly backwards. However, the courtyard beside him was slashed down by the sword qi. Half of it was destroyed, and countless cracks more than ten feet long even appeared on the ground.

Everyone in the distance was so frightened that they held their breaths and kept retreating backwards. At this moment, they could feel that the frightening cold killing intent on Qin E’s body had provoked such a frightening woman. It was not just terrifying.

“Boom boom boom boom!”

The terrifying sword qi continued to slash down. In a short moment, not only had Xiao Chen’s courtyard been destroyed, even the nearby woods were unable to escape. One could imagine how furious Qin E was at this moment.

In midair, Xiao Chen used Ling Xian Step to the extreme, constantly dodging the incoming sword Qi. Even though he was above Qin E, the Blue Phoenix Sword was an ancient divine weapon. Moreover, Qin E had summoned the sword spirit, and its power was not small. Without the Heavy Sky Sword in his hand, it would be extremely difficult for him to defeat its sharpness.

Seeing that the sword qi was still coming, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but frown. This crazy woman’s sword was too powerful, and it was protected by the ancient sword spirit. It couldn’t continue like this …

Just as he was contemplating his countermeasure, Qin E suddenly sent the sword forward. The Blue Phoenix Sword Spirit let out a roar and attached itself to the sword in an instant, instantly transforming into a hundred zhang azure light that slashed towards Xiao Chen.

“Shit …”

Xiao Chen thought to himself. He wanted to use the Ling Xian Steps to dodge, but the sword force was too terrifying. Before the sword could reach him, the sword qi had already covered his entire body and he could no longer move.

“Liao Wuchen!”

In the distance, Ling Luan and the others were already frightened to the point their faces turned pale. At this critical moment, Xiao Chen suddenly took out a jade zither. In an instant, a powerful ancient divine power was emitted from the zither.
