As the Universe Turns - Chapter 252
Chapter 252 Life And Death
Originally, Ghost Lord Yinshan and the Dark Underworld Lady were already extremely difficult to deal with. Now that there was another Patriarch Guituo, the situation in Heavenly Spirit Sect became even more worrying, and it was already on the verge of collapse.
At this moment, Xiao Chen was hiding in the bushes, watching everything outside with his breath held. Naturally, he was very familiar with this Patriarch Guituo. This person’s Soul Devouring Curse Talisman was extremely vicious and powerful. Back then, without the Seal Unlocking Talisman, not even Hanye and Withered Spirit Child could unlock it.
Could it be that Murong Xi was also hit by this curse talisman? If that was the case, then the situation would probably be far from good.
However, judging from the current situation, Murong Xi had only suffered a plot against her primordial spirit and had not been struck by the Soul Devouring Curse Talisman. This was good, but Xuan Ming You Ji’s “Nine Heavens Ten Gu Piercing the Heart” was something that she did not know how to solve.
The atmosphere became more and more solidified. Murong Xi stared at Patriarch Guituo, who was slowly approaching from midair, and her face remained calm. “Spirit Mountain and Ghost Tuoluo Mountain did not offend each other for a thousand years. I wonder why Your Excellency came this time …”
“Entrusted by others …”
Patriarch Guituo said gloomily, “In addition, I want to ask Madam for a person. I only need Madam to hand him over to me. I don’t want a soul in your sect. I can leave now.”
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere became even more tense. Murong Xi’s gaze narrowed slightly, “I wonder who the name of the person the Patriarch wants …”
Patriarch Guituo said, “That person is in your sect. His name is’ Wu Chen ‘…”
“It’s him …”
Upon hearing the words “Wu Chen”, many disciples in Heavenly Spirit Sect were shocked. Ling Luan couldn’t help but be stunned. She stared blankly at Xiao Chen beside her. Why did Patriarch Guituo capture him?
Murong Xi smiled, “The person mentioned by the ancestor did come to our Heavenly Spirit Sect before, but a few days ago, this person has already left.”
“No, no, no …”
Patriarch Guituo shook his head, his gaze sharp. He looked left and right and said gloomily, “He’s around here, because I can smell … the aura of death on his body.”
“Haha!”
Murong Xi raised his head and smiled. He looked at Patriarch Guituo and said, “Patriarch Guituo, if you can find him, then you can go find him yourself. Why bother asking the old man?”
“In that case, Madam would rather die than hand over this person …”
Patriarch Guituo’s eyes suddenly sank. Two streaks of black gas secretly circulated in his palm. Many disciples’ hearts trembled. How could they resist this person’s attack?
Murong Xi’s gaze narrowed slightly. She knew that Xiao Chen and Ling Luan were together at this moment. Now, she only hoped that the two of them would hide far away. She absolutely must not come here.
“Humph! Stubborn!”
Patriarch Guituo’s voice became fierce. He raised his palms and two monstrous black gases immediately surged over. Seeing this, Murong Xi ignored his injuries and raised his Genuine energy. He pushed his palms forward and two extremely powerful Spiritual Energy gushed out. A loud “rumble” rang out, blocking the black gases that filled the sky in Patriarch Guituo.
“Uh …”
A mouthful of blood gushed out of her mouth again. Ling Luan’s heart was about to jump out of her chest, but there was nothing she could do right now.
Behind him, the Yin Mountain Ghost Master and the Dark Nether Secluded Concubine also instantly attacked, and the four Elders who remained motionless immediately stepped forward to help.
“Rumble!”
The loud noise continued, and the entire back mountain seemed to tremble violently. Many disciples were dizzy from the shock, unable to participate in such an expert competition.
“This damned old woman, I didn’t expect that she would be so powerful after being pierced by the Nine Heavens Ten Gu …”
Xuan Ming You Ji’s eyes narrowed slightly. Suddenly, she waved her hands and summoned the twelve Xuan Ming You Ghosts. In an instant, the voices of ghosts rang out in midair, and the wind blew endlessly. Seeing this, the disciples of the Heavenly Spirit Sect hurriedly formed an array to resist the twelve Yellow Springs You Ghosts.
Moments later, the two sides were still evenly matched. Xuan Ming You Ji’s gaze was fierce as she lowered her voice and said, “We have to think of a way to break this old woman’s Spiritual Energy defense …”
On the other hand, Murong Xi was almost unable to hold on any longer. She quickly sent a divine message to the four Elders behind her, “Four Elders, help me with the Heaven Condensing Luo Sword Formation!”
Upon hearing the words “Heavenly Sword Formation”, even the faces of the four elders couldn’t help but change slightly. This formation was left behind by their ancestors back then. Although its might was fierce and powerful, its dangers were not comparable to ordinary sword formations. Now that Madam Chu and the four of them were injured, if the formation was not properly formed, the consequences would be unpredictable!
“Quick!”
Murong Xi quickly sent another divine will. Clearly, it was almost impossible to hold on. The four elders did not hesitate and immediately dispersed. Murong Xi took the opportunity to leap forward and instantly drew out the Nine Firmaments Dust Sword.
“Rumble!”
Suddenly, thunder rang out in the sky. At this moment, Murong Xi’s body flourished with profound light. Using the Nine Firmaments Fallen Dust Sword as a guide, she actually lured the rolling heavenly lightning down. Some of the Demon Cult disciples who could not dodge were immediately blown away by the explosion.
“Damn it! She’s risking her life with the Heaven Condensing Sword Formation!”
Xuan Ming You Ji’s face was suddenly shocked. The Heavenly Sieve Sword Formation was no small matter. Even experts with cultivation at the Void Harmonious Dao Realm would not dare to enter the formation so easily. Otherwise, their primordial spirits would be damaged at the slightest and their bodies would be wiped out at the most!
However, the dangers of this formation were not something ordinary sword formations could compare to. Thus, even the previous Heavenly Spirit Sect masters did not dare to use this formation so easily.
Including that time three hundred years ago, Chu Tianqing and the other Grand Elders didn’t dare to use this formation. That was why the four Elders of Immovable Mountain used the Four Spirit Sword Formation to defend against the enemy and suffered a backlash.
“Stop her!”
Ghost Lord Yinshan’s expression also changed. However, it was too late for the two of them to stop him. He saw that Murong Xi’s sword was facing the sky. With the help of the four elders, he quickly formed the Heavenly Sword Formation.
At this moment, the clouds and winds in the sky trembled, and the heavens and earth paled. Everything in the world instantly lost its color!
Under the enveloping of the sword array, everything turned black and white. Only Murong Xi, who was currently in the sword array, released rainbow rays of light!
“Beneath the Heavenly Luo, there is no place for you to hide!”
Murong Xi’s gaze was sharp as she slashed down with her sword. Dao after dao of golden sword energy instantly transformed from the sword array and slashed down like it was destroying the heavens and the earth. Wherever it passed, mountains and earth collapsed. Some of the Devil Sect disciples who had no time to dodge were all annihilated by the sword energy!
Ghost Lord Yinshan didn’t have time to dodge, and his back suffered a tragic blow. His flesh and blood instantly became blurry. Xuanming Youji sacrificed four Dark Nether ghosts to escape. Only Patriarch Guituo had foresight and had already dodged in the distance.
“Take advantage of this! Hurry!”
In order to prevent the second wave of sword Qi from striking down, the three of them immediately rushed forward, using their respective divine abilities. Murong Xi was about to desperately slash down the second sword, but at this moment, her chest suddenly ached, and she was unable to lift the Fallen Dust Sword in her hand.
“Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!”
At this moment, the sword formation suddenly cracked, and a terrifying sword qi surged down, causing everyone to feel suffocated in an instant!
“Damn, the sword formation is about to collapse …”
At this moment, everyone from the Heavenly Spirit Sect, Patriarch Guituo, Ghost Lord Yinshan, Xuanming Youji, and the others revealed expressions of shock.
Xiao Chen, who was hiding in the bushes, suddenly felt that something was wrong. With a wave of his hand, he condensed a True Essence Spirit Barrier and quickly protected him and Ling Luan inside.
