As the Universe Turns - Chapter 618
Chapter 618 A Cold Night
It was a cold night. Xiao Chen sensed that Shen Quezi had already caught up with him. Originally, he wanted to run southeast, but now, he suddenly turned around and ran northwest. The mountains were connected, so he might be able to temporarily avoid Shen Quezi’s pursuit.
“Brat, there’s no way you can escape!”
At this moment, Shen Quezi was already approaching from behind, his eyes glittering with cold light. He was like a fierce wolf in the dark night, staring at its prey without letting go.
“Fiendish fiendish fiendish fiendish!”
The wind was so strong that in the blink of an eye, Shen Quezi had already caught up with Xiao Chen. The distance between the two of them was no more than a thousand feet. To an expert at the Cave Ruins Realm, the distance was only an instant.
“Don’t even think about escaping!”
Shen Quezi’s killing intent surged. He raised his palm and a palm shadow that was a hundred feet tall suddenly appeared. The ferocity of his palm caused the clouds in the sky to surge endlessly, the earth to tremble, and the rocks to shatter!
Looking at that terrifying palm attack, Xiao Chen knew that this battle was dangerous and didn’t dare to be careless. He flicked his palms and urged the Genuine energy in his body to use his Great Freedom Palm Technique in an instant, pulling Shen Quezi’s palm to the side. With a loud “rumble”, the sky was filled with dust and it shattered a mountain.
Shen Quezi’s eyes narrowed. This was the first time he had fought with Xiao Chen. He didn’t expect the other party to possess such a strange cultivation technique that could draw his palm to the side.
“Humph!”
With a cold snort, his killing intent did not lessen, and Shen Quezi’s profound arts continued to rush forward. A bloody mark appeared between his eyebrows. Following his two fingers, a bloody mist flew out and headed straight for Xiao Chen.
“Fiendish fiendish fiendish fiendish!”
Suddenly, a gloomy wind blew out from the surroundings, and miserable mist filled the surroundings. Under the darkness of the night, ghost cries could be heard continuously from within the blood mist, causing one’s scalp to go numb.
Xiao Chen didn’t know what kind of strange technique this was, but he didn’t dare to be careless. He hastily fled. He didn’t forget to use the palm technique contained in the Nine Yin Nine Yang Profound Technique. He struck at the blood mist with one palm. Originally, the blood mist was bound to hit, but it seemed to have intelligence. Seeing the palm attack, he moved aside and avoided it.
“Fiendish fiendish fiendish fiendish!”
Avoiding this powerful palm strike, the blood mist once again rushed forward. In front of it, a shadow of a Blood Skull actually appeared. Xiao Chen was slightly shocked. How could this be a cultivation technique cultivated by the people of the Profound Sect? Such an evil technique, this Shen Quezi must have been cultivated with the blood souls of countless people.
“Humph!”
Shen Quezi coldly snorted. He pinched the seal in his hand and the blood mist immediately began to churn. It was as if countless souls were imprisoned inside. Ghost cries could be heard continuously. Then, in an instant, it turned into a blood-colored ghost image. It suddenly opened its mouth and pounced towards Xiao Chen.
A gust of fishy wind blew towards his face. The evil ghost formed from the blood mist was exceptionally fierce. Xiao Chen did not dare to underestimate it. He linked his hands together and a Taoist True Technique appeared. A hundred-meter-long golden light profound seal flew out, illuminating the surroundings. This was Xuan Qing’s Magic Breaking Art. It had astonishing power in dealing with evil demons.
“Bang!”
With a sharp sound, the Demon Breaking Profound Seal struck the Blood Mist Evil Ghost’s body, continuously producing a’zi zi zi ‘sound. In the end, the Blood Mist Evil Ghost was unable to hold on and dissipated.
Xiao Chen drew his finger and withdrew his profound strength. He looked coldly at Shen Quezi, but his eyes were not afraid at all. He said coldly, “You call yourself the righteous path of the Profound Sect, yet you secretly cultivate such evil methods. You are also worthy of being called the senior of the Profound Sect. If not for Xiao’s failure in transforming into a god, you would be the only one who would be killed today!”
Shen Quezi stood motionless in midair, his clothes rustling in the wind. At this moment, a strange layer of blood mist was wrapped around his body. He looked extremely strange, and he no longer had the demeanor of an immortal.
“Brat, you killed my junior brother … Today, this place is your burial place!”
Shen Quezi’s face was filled with killing intent. He wanted to kill Xiao Chen not only to avenge Xuan Jizi, but also because he had just seen Xiao Chen possess both the supreme Dao technique of the Xuan Qing Sect and the strange technique of the Devil Dao Heavenly Tome. At the same time, he also had the rumored technique of the Nine Yin Blood Demon.
This child’s innate talent is extraordinary. Being able to combine multiple completely different cultivation techniques at the same time is truly rare in thousands of years. Most importantly, he possesses the bloodline of that clan. If he cannot take advantage of this moment to remove it, this person … will definitely be a great calamity in the future!
At this moment, Xiao Chen saw a cold killing intent in Shen Quezi’s eyes. He knew that he had failed in his Soul Transformation. There was no way he could be his opponent at this moment. The other party’s killing intent had already been revealed. He couldn’t stay here any longer. Thinking of this, his body moved, Ling Xian took another step and fled into the distance in an instant.
“Wanting to leave … is impossible!”
Shen Quezi’s gaze turned fierce as he suddenly caught up with Xiao Chen like a gust of wind. This time, he raised his palms and unexpectedly had a thunderous momentum. His vast palm power, mountain collapse, and rock cleavage, pushed him straight towards Xiao Chen!
Before his palm power could reach him, Xiao Chen felt a suffocating pressure. In a hurry, he could only take out Di Gu and use Di Gu’s power to forcefully resist this palm strike.
“Boom!”
With a loud explosion, the nearby mountains were shattered into pieces. Dust immediately flew everywhere. Even with Di Gu in his hand, Xiao Chen felt his entire body tremble. He staggered unsteadily and kept retreating. Looking at his hands again, the tiger’s mouth was actually shattered by Shen Quezi’s palm force just now, and fresh blood continuously flowed out.
“Cosmos in your sleeves-take it!”
Shen Quezi scolded and waved his left hand. The sleeve instantly magnified a hundred times and enveloped Xiao Chen. He actually wanted to use the divine ability of the universe in his sleeve to put Xiao Chen inside.
The Cosmos in his sleeve was originally a divine ability used to store things. Very few people used it to pretend to be a living person. However, with his cultivation at this level, he could do whatever he wished.
Seeing the sleeve cover, Xiao Chen’s expression changed slightly. He hurriedly dodged with the Ling Xian Steps. Although he possessed a white infant that ignored any Nascent Soul Laws, if he were to be put into the sleeve of the other party like this, the difference in cultivation levels between the two parties would be great. It was hard to predict whether they would be able to come out again.
Seeing him dodge with extreme speed, Shen Quezi waved his sleeve and rolled up the dust in the sky to cover him again. Seeing him attack again, Xiao Chen naturally quickly dodged.
Just like this, the two sides chased after each other in the boundless mountain range. Unknowingly, it was already midnight.
Xiao Chen only wanted to flee. He didn’t know where he was, but he felt a cold breeze pounding his face. In front of him, there seemed to be a faint aura of death.
Shen Quezi chased after him in the middle of the night. At this moment, he gradually became impatient and his killing intent became even stronger. When he caught up with him again, he didn’t say anything else. He attacked with a thunderous and deadly move.
Under the surge of his palm power, he saw dust tumble along the way, landslides and rocks split apart. Shen Quezi was determined to hit him in one blow. This time, there was no way to hide on either side. Xiao Chen was trapped in a dead end, so it was difficult to forcefully avoid him.
At this moment of life and death, a dark green path suddenly appeared in the valley in front of him. It was filled with a strange aura, as if it was the path to the Netherworld Yellow Springs.
