As the Universe Turns - Chapter 597
Chapter 597 Berserk Battle
The entire Sword Arena surged with strong winds. At this moment, everyone felt an inexplicable suffocation. Even the swords in their hands began to tremble and emit a faint soft cry, as if they were trembling and uneasy.
“What … what’s going on?”
At this moment, many people looked at each other, completely unaware of what had happened. Why did they feel so depressed? Even the originally clear sky suddenly became gloomy.
“On the side of the Emperor Statue!”
At this moment, someone in the crowd finally cried out in alarm. Everyone immediately looked towards the Emperor Statue that was a hundred zhang east. Suddenly, a figure flew into the sky, getting closer and closer. This suffocating feeling was getting heavier and heavier!
“It’s … Xiao Yichen!”
Finally, someone recognized the person who came. That person stepped on the void, and in an instant, he arrived at the Sword Arena. It was Xiao Chen who had just arrived at the Emperor Statue.
“It’s him … It’s him!”
It was as if a stone had stirred up thousands of waves, and the discussions in the crowd suddenly grew louder. If it was Qianyu Nichang, or the elites of other sects, no matter who they were, they would not have caused such a sensation. He was the only one, and even at this moment, he stood silently in midair.
“Is it finally here …”
Tang Xinhai’s voice was deep, and his eyes were as red as blood. At this moment, near the Sword Arena, Tai Shi Dao Sect had already arranged for countless experts. Even when he arrived today, when he saw that he had indeed come, those people were also secretly moving.
Right at this moment, an old man from afar suddenly shouted, “Xiao Yichen, you are truly a wondrous person. You know that the Emperor’s Sword Argument today is an ambush set up for you, but you still want to come. This old man admires you!”
Hearing this, Xiao Chen remained motionless in midair. He only stared coldly at the person on the giant sword opposite him. There was not the slightest bit of emotion in his voice, “Where are they?”
Tang Xinhai sneered, “Do you want to know? Unless today, you have the life to bring the head with you!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure pierced through the air. The Sword Maniac’s sword was finally unsheathed. It was actually a black profound sword. It was called the “Berserk Sword”.
Everyone below the stage held their breaths and concentrated. Suddenly, they felt that the cold blade on the sword seemed to possess a strange power that could devour people’s minds. They didn’t dare to stare at it and retreated.
Xiao Chen remained motionless like a mountain. No matter how fast Tang Xinhai’s sword was, under his divine sense, which was countless times sharper than ordinary people’s, it was only the speed of raindrops falling from the eaves. When the sword momentum approached, Xiao Chen’s figure tilted, skillfully avoiding Tang Xinhai’s sword momentum. He pointed at Tang Xinhai’s right arm with his two fingers.
A blow that was as shocking as wind and lightning was bound to hit, but Sword Maniac was not an ordinary person. He suddenly turned around and raised his palm to pour out a thunderous amount of profound energy.
Finger power clashed with palm power. The two of them actually had the potential to overturn the profound yellow. With a loud boom, the clouds scattered everywhere. Everyone nearby felt their hearts tremble. What a powerful skill!
“No one can escape from Sword Maniac’s crazy sword, and you are no exception!”
With a loud shout, True Essence gathered on the sword again. The Berserk Sword had a third more killing intent. Tang Xinhai’s sword thrust towards Xiao Chen. At the same time, a sword appeared in Xiao Chen’s hand. However, the sword had no edge and no light. It was wrapped in layers of cloth, concealing the sword’s sharpness.
Clang!
With a sharp sound, Xiao Chen was pushed back. His arms felt numb, and before he could stand firmly, the sword of the Swordsman had been handed over again.
The sword didn’t leave any traces, and every move seemed to be life-threatening. Tang Xinhai’s offensive became more and more ferocious, and his sword momentum became more and more mad. One sword and one sword actually forced Xiao Chen to move step by step. He could only carefully wander around, but it was always difficult to bully him.
Everyone below the stage held their breaths as they watched. It was as if they were watching an emperor battle. A layer of sweat slowly condensed on the backs of many people. Seeing that Tang Xinhai was becoming stronger and more frenzied, could it be that even Xiao Yichen was not his opponent?
At this moment, on a tall building in the distance, there was a white-haired middle-aged man standing there. There were also a few old men. They were Jiang Yutian and the others.
“Is that person … Xiao Yichen?”
Jiang Yutian’s eyes narrowed. In the past, he had only heard of Xiao Chen’s name and hadn’t seen him. Now that he saw him, he couldn’t say how he felt. However, thinking about Tang Xinhai’s high cultivation, his fierce sword moves, and his reputation as a sword maniac, even he wasn’t his match. It was already extremely difficult for him to pass through a hundred moves under Tang Xinhai’s sword.
“Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!”
On the sword arena, Tang Xinhai’s sword moves were ferocious, one sword and one sword, like a fierce tiger out of the forest, like a wild dragon soaring into the sea. His killing intent was revealed, leaving no room for manoeuvre.
Everyone below was already dazzled. In a few rounds, they had already secretly pinched a few handfuls of cold sweat for Xiao Chen.
However, despite the dangers, the sword in his hand still hadn’t loosened.
“Zheng!”
Another sharp sound rang out. The two of them finally separated. They flew back more than ten zhang. Tang Xinhai’s eyes were bloodshot as he sneered, “Your sword is not unsheathed. You don’t have a chance!”
Xiao Chen’s gaze was indifferent as he waved his sword. The cloth on the sword was still tense, not letting go of it at all. He said indifferently, “My sword is not easily unsheathed.”
Di Guben did not have a scabbard, but the sword energy in his sword was truly too vicious. Di Gu’s power could not be easily used. That was why he used a cloth and cast a curse incantation to seal the sword layer by layer. Only in this way could he conceal the sword energy and prevent it from being devoured by the sword energy.
“Then you are no different from a dead person!”
Tang Xinhai shouted, his sword moves rising again, and his killing intent suddenly increased!
Suddenly, the wind and clouds changed drastically. It was unknown what incantation he had cast on the sword. Countless sharp sword Qi suddenly descended from the clouds in the sky, raining down on Xiao Chen.
“Disease!”
As Tang Xinhai said this, killing intent filled the sky and surrounded Xiao Chen, trapping him inside.
Every layer of sword qi was extremely terrifying. A slight touch would result in the destruction of both body and spirit. This was the “Trapping Kill Formation”. It was an extremely vicious sword formation that Tang Xinhai had just used at the expense of 30% of his own Genuine energy.
At this moment, the crowd became even quieter. Everyone held their breath and stared motionlessly at the sword platform. Originally, they thought that Tang Xinhai was going to use a killing move against Xiao Chen, but they didn’t expect that he would be trapped inside with such a vicious array. It seemed that even this Sword Maniac wasn’t that crazy if he wanted to kill Xiao Chen in one blow.
Indeed. Although Tang Xinhai was known as a sword maniac, he had just fought for so long, and it seemed like he had no way to retreat. However, he clearly understood in his heart that his sword could not harm Xiao Chen at all. That was why he had used a trapping array to trap Xiao Chen in that instant.
The cold wind pressed down on everyone’s hearts. At this moment, everyone was silent. This sword formation was so powerful that even immortals might not be able to escape. This time, was Xiao Yichen really going to die inside?
