At this moment, the atmosphere seemed to have suddenly frozen. Zu Qing felt that something was wrong and his heart trembled. He hurriedly said, “Senior, this is just a junior disciple. He just came out and has nothing on him …”

“I didn’t ask you.”

Chi Lian’s eyes turned cold as he walked towards Xiao Chen step by step. He said gloomily, “Open up the universe in your sleeves …”

The unquestionable tone of his voice caused the atmosphere to become even more tense. Even Xu Hao began to tremble beside him, and he continuously gave Xiao Chen a look. A Nascent Soul cultivator was not easy to provoke.

After waiting for a long time, Finally, Xiao Chen slowly lifted his sleeve and opened it. However, the moment Chi Lianzi’s divine sense pierced into his sleeve, he saw that Chi Lianzi’s expression suddenly changed. Apparently, he saw treasures like Xiao Chen, Samsara Jade, the mysterious hexagonal stone plate, the Ninety-nine Blood Transformation Needles, the Soul Absorbing Cyan Lamp, and so on in Fuxi Zither’s sleeve …

If it was an ordinary young man, why would he carry these things with him? Chi Lianzi’s expression suddenly changed. He immediately realized that this young man in front of him was not an ordinary disciple. However, at this moment, the desire to kill and seize treasures in his heart could not be extinguished.

The moment he attacked Xiao Chen, it was as if Xiao Chen had disappeared from where he was. He only left behind an afterimage. Chi Lianzi struck out with his staff, but the staff that destroyed the gold and broken stones only struck his phantom image.

This sudden change caused the expressions of Xu Hao and Zu Qing to change. Before they could react, Xiao Chen appeared behind Chi Lianzi like an unfathomable god and ghost. He placed his palm on Chi Lianzi’s head.

This palm strike was not an ordinary palm strike. Instead, it was Xiao Chen’s use of the Undying Concept to control life and death in an instant with his will alone. The control of life and death with his will was definitely not something that he could compare to before!

Chi Lianzi’s eyes widened. At this moment, he clearly had a premonition that something was wrong. However, when he reacted, the boundless power of controlling life and death had instantly enveloped him. This was a power that completely surpassed the Laws of Heaven and Earth. How could a small Nascent Soul cultivator like him break free?

It was only his fault for underestimating the opponent. If he was more cautious and far away from the opponent, how could he be so easily attacked by life and death manipulation?

“Ah–”

With a miserable scream, Chi Lianzi finally stopped moving. Xiao Chen also instantly withdrew his strength. The death energy on his body was suppressed by the evergreen seeds of flowers and leaves. It was because the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees did not wither, and the thick death energy from before did not appear.

“Putong!”

With a muffled sound, Chi Lianzi fell to the ground. His eyes were wide open. Perhaps when he died, he didn’t know how he died. There wasn’t a single wound on his body, but his entire life had been deprived in an instant.

Xiao Chen didn’t have the slightest bit of pity in his heart for killing this person by manipulating his life and death methods. This was because this person had already been tempted to kill him just now. If he kept it, it would eventually become a future disaster. A Nascent Soul cultivator couldn’t be underestimated. He had only underestimated him just now. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have killed him so easily.

If it was in the past, he would not have been able to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator so easily, because at that time, he had yet to comprehend the Undying Concept.

The cold wind slowly blew past the forest. Xu Hao suddenly shivered. Only now did he wake up like a dream. He stared blankly at Chi Lianzi, who had fallen to the ground. Just now, everything had happened in a flash of lightning and flint. Was that true? A Nascent Soul cultivator was instantly killed by Brother Wu Chen …

“You, you …”

Zu Qing and Yang He were also completely stunned. At this moment, it was as if they had seen a ghost. Their faces were extremely pale.

Previously, Zu Qing had practiced for this person for at most four hundred years, but he never expected that he would be able to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator so effortlessly!

But what method did he use to kill Chi Lianzi just now? He hadn’t hit Chi Lianzi with his palm just now, and there wasn’t even a single wound on his body. How did he kill Chi Lianzi? It looked as if he was frightened to death. All of this was too strange …

Yang He also trembled deeply. Up until now, he finally understood why Senior Brother had always been a little afraid of this young man along the way. Thinking back to that day, he still planned to … Thinking of this, it was as if he had instantly fallen into an endless abyss.

Xiao Chen did not say anything and did not intend to explain everything. He silently walked over to Chi Lianzi and kicked him over. He took out all the things that he had just robbed from his sleeve and threw them back in front of Zu Qing and the other two.

The two of them looked at the things that belonged to them on the ground, then looked at Zu Qing, and stammered, “Thank you …”

At this moment, the two of them actually didn’t know how to address Xiao Chen. If they were called Seniors, the other party was clearly much younger than them. If they were called Little Friends, the other party’s cultivation was far higher than the two of them.

“Brother Wu … Brother Wu Chen.”

Only Xu Hao looked slightly calm at this moment. Although his face was still a little pale, how could he have imagined that this person who had walked with him would actually …

Suddenly, he remembered that in the valley, Xiao Chen had escaped the confinement of two Orthodox Nascent Soul cultivators with him. At that time, he found it inconceivable. Later, the other party had told him what Instant Thousand Miles Talisman he had used. At that time, he had foolishly believed it, but now … how could he believe it again?

“You don’t have to look at me like this.”

As Xiao Chen spoke, he flipped through the things in Chi Lianzi’s sleeve as if nothing had happened. It seemed that this person had robbed quite a few things during this period of time. Apart from a large number of spirit stones and spirit gathering talismans, most of the other things were medicinal pills, magic treasures, or other talismans.

However, Xiao Chen didn’t care about these medicinal pills, talismans, and some ordinary cultivation technique manuals. He threw them all to Xu Hao, leaving behind only some Spirit Gathering Talismans and Spirit Stones.

However, in the end, he found a strange talisman inside Chi Lianzi’s sleeve. The talisman was strangely black, but the talisman mark on it was blood red. Before he could take out the talisman, the red talisman mark suddenly gathered into a bloody light and shot into the space between his eyebrows.

“Brother Wu Chen!”

Xu Hao was suddenly shocked. Xiao Chen also instantly reacted. He was about to sense the bloody light, but he couldn’t sense it anymore. The scene just now was too sudden. The bloody light on the talisman seemed to be imprinted into his soul.

“This … this is the Life and Death Zhui Ming Talisman!”

Looking at the scene in front of them and the strange black talisman slowly floating out of Chi Lianzi’s sleeve, Zu Qing and Yang He were also shocked and their faces became even paler.
