As the Universe Turns - Chapter 177
Chapter 177 Confrontation
The cold wind blew through the valley, stirring the uneasy hearts of everyone. At this moment, everyone was silent. Qin E, who was standing in the distance, also looked at the young man with rapt attention.
She was the proud daughter of the Heavenly Tide Sword Sect, and her father was a Heavenly Tide Sword Sovereign that shook the Eastern Region. As long as she heard the name of the Heavenly Tide Sword Sovereign, everyone would admire him. However, she asked herself, if she encountered such a situation, she would definitely not have the courage to ask the elders for help.
“Liao Wuchen …”
Ling Luan was also stunned in the distance. He never imagined that at such a moment, Liao Wuchen would rather fight the enemy alone than protect Power of Azure Dragon. But just now, when he killed, he was so cold and heartless. There was no pity in his eyes. Just what kind of person was he? Was he a good person or a bad person …
Sometimes, she felt that this person was very close. It was just like when she was in Celestial Pogoda, he suddenly rushed over to help her. Just now, he suddenly rushed over and would give his life to protect them. However, sometimes, she felt that this person was very far away, too far away. He was ice-cold and without the slightest bit of human kindness.
“Wei Yang, let’s go.”
At this moment, Xiao Chen acted as if nothing had happened. He ignored the purple-clothed man from the Profound Firmament Palace and walked out of the valley with Hua Weiyang in front of everyone’s eyes.
“Let’s go … did I say you can leave now?”
In midair, Crimson Cloud Envoy’s eyes finally became extremely cold and terrifying, causing countless people below to shiver and subconsciously retreat further away.
Xiao Chen stopped and looked back. “What if I have to go?”
The atmosphere was as cold as frost. At this moment, the gazes of the two exchanged were as cold as the edge of a sword, causing one to shiver.
Up until now, after confirming the opponent’s origin and purpose, the trace of pressure on Xiao Chen’s body had disappeared. However, he did not know who True Monarch Xuanxiao was.
The person with the highest cultivation he had ever seen was none other than Sect Master Ancestor Azure Mystic Daoist. Even a person with a great divine ability like Azure Mystic Daoist was only called a “Daoist”, but who was this True Monarch Black Firmament Divine? He actually called himself True Monarch. Could it be that even the Four Seas and Eight Desolates couldn’t find an opponent? What a joke.
The purple-clothed man smiled faintly, “I really don’t know if it’s a fearsome young man or a newborn calf that isn’t afraid of tigers. Brat, do you know that taking your life now is as easy as taking back your palm?”
At the end of his sentence, he glanced at Xiao Chen, “It’s just that True Monarchs have cultivated for many years and have never liked to kill. Especially mortals, it’s not easy to cultivate.”
The people from the various clans and sects in the distance remained silent. In their eyes, True Monarch Xuanxiao was an extraordinary expert from the outside world. If they allowed their subordinates to randomly kill people here just because of Power of Azure Dragon, then it would truly be a loss of the word “True Monarch”.
In midair, Chi Yunshi’s gaze was still cold and he didn’t say much. He said coldly, “Power of Azure Dragon, stay. Your life is yours.”
“There’s no need to be too full of words.”
Just as the atmosphere was icy cold, Hua Weiyang, who hadn’t moved at all, suddenly took two steps forward and looked at Chi Yunshi. Her two gazes weren’t chaotic at all. Even though she was clearly beneath her, she had a look of condescension.
Everyone couldn’t help but feel very surprised. Who exactly was this woman? If it was an ordinary woman, it would be impossible for her to be so calm at this moment. Facing Chi Yunshi of the Profound Firmament Palace, it was even more impossible for her to have such a gaze. Who exactly was she …
Chi Yunshi had naturally noticed her a long time ago. Seeing the look in her eyes that looked down on him, he couldn’t help but wonder, who exactly was this woman?
It was impossible for her to be an ordinary woman. It was impossible for her to be the proud daughter of the heavens from some large clan. Even someone like Qin E, the apple of the sect master’s eye, would never have such a gaze.
Hua Weiyang said indifferently, “The four seas and eight wilderness are boundless. What Your Excellency sees is only a corner, from the Blue Setting Immortal Dimension to the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs. Even if a mortal is crowned with the word ‘True Monarch’, they may not necessarily see one hand covering the sky. I advise you, there are people outside the world, and there is another world, and all living beings are dust.”
The moment she said this, the surroundings trembled. If it was just an ordinary woman, how could she say such words?
When the purple-clothed man from the Profound Firmament Palace heard her say that even if a mortal was crowned “True Monarch”, he was still only a mortal and a speck of dust. His gaze immediately turned fierce, “You’re presumptuous!”
Unexpectedly, Hua Weiyang only lightly flicked his sleeves. Without even looking at him, he turned around and walked back to Xiao Chen’s side. “Dumbass, let’s go.”
“You …”
Seeing that she had actually turned a blind eye to him, the Zi Yi man’s eyes were even colder. However, he was carefully pondering in his heart. This woman’s expression just now did not put Xuanxiao Palace in his eyes at all. It was absolutely not as if she was pretending. What exactly was her origin? How could a small mortal woman have such courage?
“No matter who you are, Power of Azure Dragon, stay!”
At this moment, a terrifying aura enveloped the valley. In midair, Chi Yunshi’s arms were filled with flames. His eyes turned crimson, and flames kept coming out. His appearance was extremely terrifying.
Many people shivered and retreated farther away. They did not want to suffer the calamity of the fish pond.
“Humph!”
Chi Yunshi snorted coldly. Suddenly, he pushed his arm. The flames instantly expanded and formed two hundred-meter-long fire dragons. They interweaved and rushed towards the ground. Everything the fire dragons passed through was burnt to ashes. Even the people who were a few miles away felt a burning heat.
Seeing that the two fire dragons were coming at him ferociously, Xiao Chen’s profound arts trembled. He pushed his palms and two strands of ice-cold energy surged out. With a “rumble”, they collided with the two fire dragons, causing layers of white mist to immediately fill the surroundings.
“Wei Yang!”
Hua Weiyang heard the shout and did not hesitate any longer. In an instant, he activated “Flower in the Mist”. In an instant, the layers of white mist turned into flower mist. It was hazy and pale red, and she could no longer see anything. When the flower mist dissipated, Xiao Chen and her were already ten miles away.
“It’s not that easy to escape!”
Chi Yunshi waved his sleeves and stepped on the scarlet red flame cloud. In an instant, he followed the aura and chased after them. The few people behind him also quickly followed behind him. As well as Elder Azurewood and the others, Ling Luan and Qin E, they all chased after him at the first possible moment.
Outside the valley, Xiao Chen and Hua Weiyang’s swords flew swiftly. However, before the two of them could run thirty miles away, a powerful aura came from behind, causing the nearby mountain peaks to tremble as well.
