As the Universe Turns - Chapter 191
Chapter 191 Su Sha Ye
“Idiot …”
At this moment, even Hua Weiyang’s expression changed. A dark wind howled in midair, and black clouds surged within a ten mile radius. The boundless aura of death enveloped the heavens and earth. There had never been such a dense aura of death on Xiao Chen’s body!
“Ah–”
How could those ten-odd young men withstand such a terrifying aura of death? Under the control of the power of life and death, their faces were gradually distorted. If they wanted to resist, how could they resist?
Together with the two Old man Qingyi who had been cultivating for more than three hundred years, the two of them were originally cultivating to heal their injuries. At this moment, they were suddenly controlled by the power of life and death. Blood gradually flowed out of their eyes, and they were similarly unable to resist.
“This is …”
The expressions of the remaining two elders with the highest Dao Cultivation suddenly changed. They hurriedly circulated their profound arts to resist the power of controlling life and death. However, even though they had more than 400 years of Dao Cultivation, they were still unable to resist under the shroud of the deathly aura that filled the sky.
“Fiendish fiendish fiendish fiendish!”
Just as he was nervous, the Ghost Vine in the manor suddenly moved. It was originally as thick as a vine, but at this moment, it became as thick as an arm and rushed towards Xiao Chen.
Evidently, the Ghost Vine relied on death energy for its livelihood. At this moment, it could feel the dense death energy on Xiao Chen’s body, and it gushed over like a tidal wave.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
The terrifying black ghost vines instantly extended from the ground to a high place and instantly wrapped around Xiao Chen’s hands and feet, making it impossible for him to continue practicing.
“Idiot!”
Hua Weiyang’s face was shocked. He condensed his finger and a red sword energy flew over. However, it was useless when it landed on the Ghost Vine. These Ghost Vines could not be easily cut off. Even if they were cut off, they could regenerate in an instant.
The two old men on the other side were shocked. Fortunately, they had the ghost vines all over the ground. Otherwise, their lives would be in danger. Seeing that Xiao Chen was entangled by the ghost vines, the two of them looked at each other and did not hesitate. They would rather sacrifice their blood essence to kill this person before collecting their souls. Even if this would make them go back to receive punishment, they would still have to avoid a long night’s sleep.
The two of them bit through the tip of their tongues at the same time and spat out a mouthful of blood essence. With a pinch of the incantation seal on their hands, they instantly transformed into two blood-colored palm prints and shot towards Xiao Chen. At this moment, the Hua Weiyang in Yu Lianhua’s hand shone brightly and flew over in an instant.
“Boom!”
With a loud explosion, the entire manor trembled violently. Although Yu Lianhua could barely withstand the fatal blow of the two old men, Hua Weiyang’s face was pale from the backlash and he kept retreating.
The powerful impact also shattered the ghost vines wrapped around Xiao Chen’s body, causing him to fall to the ground. However, the death aura on his body did not recede. In the blink of an eye, the ghost vines that resembled a tide gushed up densely. The fiendish sound sounded like it was causing trouble for his scalp.
Seeing that the two old men in the air were about to attack again, Yu Ye quickly said, “Kid! Let’s go!” As soon as he finished speaking, he used his last bit of soul power to sweep him over. In an instant, he and Hua Weiyang escaped into the distant horizon.
The night gradually fell. The two old men were shocked and looked at the ground. They saw that the dozen young men they brought were already alive, and the two Old man Qingyi were barely able to withstand it. The loss this time was so heavy. If they failed to bring that kid back, they would probably suffer an unimaginable punishment.
The red-clothed old man said, “How are you?”
The two Old man Qingyi reluctantly said, “Still … still able to hold on …”
“En, you two should take them away first and treat their injuries nearby. Also, immediately send a message back to ask them to send reinforcements. That brat won’t be far from being injured. I’ll go chase after him.”
After the red-clothed old man finished speaking, he and Old man Zi Yi immediately turned into two long beams of light and flew through the air.
…
The night was boundless and boundless. Su Ye and Xiao Chen escaped to a valley a hundred miles away. Tonight, there was no light from the stars or the moon. The cold wind was rustling, and the night was exceptionally bleak.
“Uh …”
Under the dim light, Su Ye’s face was pale, and the last trace of soul power had finally been exhausted. Xiao Chen immediately supported him, “Su Ye! How are you?”
“I … am fine.”
Su Ye barely managed to hold on. How could he be fine if he was imprinted with those three extremely powerful Soul Devouring Curse Symbols? His face was pale. He had never been so weak before, and his body was fading bit by bit.
“Those who can seal my soul are extraordinary … brat, you … you have to be careful …”
After saying that last sentence, Su Ye finally couldn’t hold on any longer and disappeared. Xiao Chen sent a few divine will to the Fuxi zither, but there was no more echo from Su Ye.
Unknowingly, the night became a bit heavier. The cold wind was rustling and the coldness in the mountains was very heavy. Hua Weiyang looked in the direction where he came from and said, “Those people will catch up very soon. Idiot, we have to leave now.”
“No …”
Xiao Chen raised his hand and stopped her from continuing. Now that Su Ye had suffered the three strange seal seals, if he didn’t undo them in time, his soul would definitely be heavily injured, or even dissipated …
A Mortal World cultivator would still be able to recover from his injuries, but Su Ye was a soul. Once his origin soul was injured, it would be an irreversible wound. Therefore, he had to obtain the Seal Release Talisman to save Su Ye.
In the past, when he was alone in Purple Night Peak, only Su Ye accompanied him. After leaving Xuanqing Sect, only Su Ye accompanied him. How could he …
His fingers tightened as he recalled the three blood seals that had penetrated into Su Ye’s origin soul. Just as Su Ye had said, the person who could seal his origin soul was definitely not an ordinary talisman. The person who refined this talisman was also definitely not an ordinary person.
Therefore, he couldn’t leave like this. He had to figure out who those people were and who the person who refined the talisman was. Only in this way could he think of a way to obtain the unsealing talisman and unseal Su Ye.
Otherwise, if this continued, Su Ye’s origin soul wounds would be irreversible and would become more and more serious. Even if his soul did not dissipate in the end, it was hard to guarantee that he would not fall into a deep slumber for a long time. When he woke up again, it might be another 10,000 years. By then, the world would have already experienced great vicissitudes.
“Xiao Yichen, I know what you’re thinking.”
At this moment, Hua Weiyang walked up to him and looked at him, “I know you want to save Su Ye, but now, you have to leave this place. You are seriously injured. Look around again …”
Under the dim light, the nearby flowers and grass, along with those towering ancient trees, withered and withered. They were all lifeless, and everywhere he walked, his life was fading away.
“Did you see that?”
Hua Weiyang stared at him motionlessly before finally saying, “Let’s go. Those people will soon catch up with the Qi of Death. I will first suppress the life and death backlash for you. Otherwise, once we face them head-on, we cannot be opponents …”
“Alright … let’s go.”
Xiao Chen seemed to have made a decision at the last moment. He wiped away the bloodstains on the corner of his mouth and moved towards the mountain range that was shrouded in the darkness. Hua Weiyang’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and the only seal on his hand formed. He also unfurled his movement technique and chased after him.
…
Three days later, the two of them were still trapped in this ancient mountain range. The life and death backlash on Xiao Chen’s body had been temporarily suppressed. On this night, a hook moon gradually climbed up the mountain peak. It was as cold as frost, and the cold wind below the mountain was howling, filled with killing intent.
“Rustle rustle rustle–”
Dozens of silhouettes quickly flashed past the forest, but there were more than a dozen mysterious people in black with their faces covered.
The two of them arrived at the entrance of the forest. One of them raised his head and looked at the dark clouds in the sky that were about to cover the moon. He said in a deep voice, “Those two are still in this mountain. If we look for them again, we can’t let them escape …”
Apart from the dozens of people in the woods, there were also many black-clothed people searching for traces of Xiao Chen and Hua Weiyang in many other places.
This time, the Ye Clan had invested a lot of money. No matter what, they had to capture Xiao Chen back. This was definitely not because of what happened to Ye Shisan last time. As for what his true goal was, his heart was already clear.
This time, there were at least a few hundred people chasing after Xiao Chen and Hua Weiyang in the mountain range. Some of them were from the Ye Clan, while others were killers and death warriors invited by the Ye Clan to work for them.
Inside the cave, Xiao Chen’s expression finally looked a little better. Three days ago, his injury was not light. Fortunately, Hua Weiyang possessed an ancient divine art like the Lianhua Cherishing Insight Art. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to recover so quickly.
“Are you feeling better?”
“Mm …”
Xiao Chen nodded slightly and looked at her. After a long time, he said, “Wei Yang, you always help me …”
“Shh …”
Hua Weiyang immediately stretched out his finger to block his lips and looked at him, “Isn’t it the same for you every time? That time in Kunlun, I was about to die, but in the end, I was still saved by you …”
“Rustle rustle rustle–”
Just as the two of them were speaking, the sound of wind blowing and grass moving suddenly came from outside. Xiao Chen immediately made a silent gesture and carefully extended his divine sense out.
Just last night, he had already learned that it was none other than the people from the Ye Clan who had come to hunt him down in the Middle Realm. He also knew that it was impossible for the other party to move so much just because of Ye Shisan’s incident last time. It seemed that someone had already targeted the Heavenly Book fragment on his body.
As expected, people died for wealth and birds died for food. Tonight, there were bound to be people dying in this mountain range.
“They’re coming …”
At this moment, Hua Weiyang was also on guard.
“Shh.”
Xiao Chen made another silent gesture and immediately withdrew his aura. He silently sneaked out with her.
The two of them naturally knew that the Ye Clan had mobilized quite a few people this time. Now that the mountain range had been sealed off by the Ye Clan, it was not easy for them to leave. Everything had to be done carefully.
“Idiot, this way.”
Hua Weiyang suddenly sent him a secret message. The two of them looked at each other and understood each other. They immediately changed paths and sneaked towards a quiet valley.
The two of them moved their feet and hid in a tree. The cold wind howled in the surroundings. After waiting for a moment, their killing intent gradually approached. Suddenly, a rustling sound came from afar, followed by a gust of wind. Under the moonlight, only a dozen figures appeared not far from where the two of them were hiding.
