As the Universe Turns - Chapter 619
Chapter 619 Strangely Adj
The strange path appeared very suddenly, but right now, Xiao Chen had no other way to go. No matter where he was, he leapt into the path and disappeared without a trace.
“Boom!”
With a loud explosion, Shen Quezi’s palm force struck out from behind, instantly shattering the nearby rocks. Smoke and dust billowed out, but it was unable to destroy the strange path that glowed with a dark green light.
With his experience, he naturally realized that this strange path was extraordinary. He suddenly appeared here, and where exactly was it?
Looking around, he saw that the night was boundless, and strange peaks were strangely standing. There wasn’t a single sect member nearby. He chased after Xiao Chen in the middle of the night, but he didn’t notice where he had already arrived.
The path in front of him glowed with a dark green light. It was as if it was leading to the Underworld Secluded Spring. It gave off an extremely uncomfortable feeling. After pondering for a moment, Shen Quezi decided to explore the path and capture Xiao Chen before he escaped.
…
Within the strange path, there were thorns everywhere, no distinction between the left and right, no distinction between the north and the south, the vast fog was indistinct, and they did not know where to go.
Xiao Chen sped along, no matter where he was, he only wanted to shake off Shen Quezi who was chasing after him.
After running like this for an unknown amount of time, a rustling wind suddenly swept over, causing the nearby Yin Qi to erupt. It was unknown where the dark green light came from, nor where the Yin Wind blew from, nor where the demonic aura came from, enveloped the surroundings.
The ground suddenly trembled. It was as if a primordial beast that had been hibernating for a long time was about to awaken. It was also as if a great devil sealed deep underground was about to reappear into the heavens. A terrifying atmosphere filled the hearts of the people!
Xiao Chen immediately stopped and stared at his surroundings. A Genuine energy slowly gathered in his palm as a precaution.
Suddenly, a figure flew over from behind. It was Shen Quezi who caught up with him. Xiao Chen’s heart trembled, and he didn’t say anything else. Genuine energy’s palm instantly turned into an air blade and whistled out.
Clang!
With a sharp sound, Shen Quezi easily blocked this stream of zhenqi. Then, his left hand formed a seal and his right hand grabbed Xiao Chen’s shoulder like lightning.
It was originally an incomparably swift move, but at this moment, the ground suddenly shook. As the dust billowed, an abyss-like crack appeared in the middle of the two of them. It was pitch-black below, and when one looked down, they were unable to see the bottom.
Shen Quezi hurriedly withdrew his attack. The moment before, it almost caused him to fall into this strange crack in the ground. At this moment, Xiao Chen was standing opposite him. Without any hesitation, he continued to go deeper into this strange land.
“Don’t leave!”
Shen Quezi shouted coldly. The profound energy in his body was activated, and in an instant, it transformed into a flash of light that chased after him.
When the two of them arrived at the deeper parts of the paradox, they saw that the paradox was boundless, completely ignoring the north, south, east, and west. A deathly silence descended within a radius of several hundred kilometers, and no birds or beasts could be seen.
“This place is filled with a strange feeling. If you keep pestering me, you and I won’t be able to leave this place alive tonight!”
Xiao Chen suddenly stopped. He didn’t know where he was, but it gave him a very depressing feeling. He didn’t want to continue entangling with Shen Quezi.
But Shen Quezi could not say anything else. He insisted on taking his life and suddenly attacked like a gust of wind. “Then I have to take your soul and sacrifice it to my junior brother first!”
As soon as Li Zhao spoke, there was no room for maneuver. Xiao Chen could only hurry Genuine energy and raise his palms to resist. With a “boom”, the two palms collided, causing both of them to feel their inner energy to tremble. Shen Quezi’s eyes narrowed as he thought to himself, “It seems that after coming to this strange land, this kid’s strength has become much deeper. He was actually able to catch one of his five successful palms.”
Xiao Chen didn’t know what was going on. Even though he felt depressed after arriving at this strange place, he seemed to have become more free to attack. Even condensing Genuine energy was much faster than usual. What was going on?
Just as he was contemplating, Shen Quezi’s fierce move had already attacked again. With Xiao Chen protecting him, Genuine energy quickly jumped back more than ten zhang. The Di Gu in his hand trembled, and a hundred zhang sword light shot out of thin air, slashing towards Shen Quezi with a sword.
Seemingly fearing the might of the sword, Shen Quezi did not dare to directly attack its edge. In an instant, he avoided it and swam beside Xiao Chen, striking him sideways with his palm.
Xiao Chen couldn’t retract his sword, but Shen Quezi’s palm power had already arrived in an instant. In a hurry, he had to give up his sword and jump backwards. Di Gu flew forward and with a rumble, inserted into a huge rock. Dust immediately filled the sky, and he jumped backwards to avoid this fatal blow.
Seeing that his Shen Quezi had been lost, Di Gu no longer had any fear. He turned around and suddenly struck with a fierce palm. Dust gushed out from the sky, and his palm’s momentum shook the heavens and the earth!
Xiao Chen was deeply involved in a fierce battle and had no time to recall Di Gu. He could only lift up his Genuine energy and jump backwards. He similarly avoided this palm with extreme danger. However, when he was scratched by the remaining force of his palm, he could only feel bursts of qi and blood surging.
“Zheng!”
With a sharp sound, as if sensing the danger of his master, the Di Gu Sword flew back into his hand. The divine sword returned to his hand. At this moment, Xiao Chen unreservedly executed the 33-dan Jade Flute Sword Technique. In the sky, sword shadows were dazzling as they overlapped towards Shen Quezi. In an instant, they blocked his left and right path of retreat.
Shen Quezi hadn’t expected that he still possessed such an exquisite swordsmanship. In just a short while, his body had already been sliced three times by the sword qi, and his robes were gradually dyed red with fresh blood.
Xiao Chen’s final strike seemed to come from the void. He drew his sword without a trace, but the tip of the sword had already been passed to Shen Quezi’s throat. Shen Quezi was suddenly shocked. His palms trembled, and a layer of Dipper Qi instantly covered his entire body. With a “clang” sound, he blocked Xiao Chen from the outside.
“With you, you also want to attack and kill this old man!”
Shen Quezi’s eyes were cold and fierce. With a tremor of his inner energy, Xiao Chen could only feel his blood surging. This sword attack failed, so he had to immediately fly back to avoid being injured by Shen Quezi’s internal force.
“An ant shakes a tree, overestimating himself!”
Shen Quezi suffered three sword injuries. Although these three sword injuries were far from damaging him, they made him extremely angry. In the blink of an eye, he had already attacked.
Xiao Chen was no match for this person’s profound strength. He had no choice but to fight and retreat. He continued into the depths of this strange land. After a short while, he finally had no choice but to retreat. There was already an endless abyss in front of him, and there was no way out.
“Let’s see where you run to this time!”
Shen Quezi’s body was filled with killing intent. Before he could finish his words, his fierce moves had already attacked again. Xiao Chen only felt a strong gust of wind pouncing towards him. In the next moment, it was already enveloped by the other party’s palm wind, making it even more difficult for him to move. In a desperate situation, he could only instantly inject 30% of Di Gu Sword into Genuine energy, risking his life to activate the “Human Sword” within the Three Talents Sword.
“Zheng!”
With a roar of the sword, Di Gu Sword instantly became dazzling with golden light. A terrifying sword qi surged out. Although Shen Quezi did not know what kind of sword style this was, he could feel the terrifying sword intent in an instant. However, he had already reached the Cave Ruins Realm, so why should he fear a junior who had yet to become a god?
He waved his left sleeve to resist Xiao Chen’s attack. However, he seemed to have underestimated the power of the Three Talents Sword. This was a sword style that Xiao Chen had instantly activated at the cost of 30% of his Genuine energy. It was also the power of Qing Di Gu. How could its power be considered idle?
Chi!
With a sharp sound, not only did Shen Quezi not block the sword, his left chest was pierced through by the sword, and blood immediately flowed out.
Shen Quezi never imagined that this sword style would be so powerful that it could break through his protective Genuine energy so easily. However, he finally had a cultivation at the Cave Ruins Realm. Even if he was injured, he could still breathe steadily in an instant.
In the next instant, Xiao Chen suddenly lost 30% of his Genuine energy. Before he could even adjust his internal breathing, he recovered and threw his palm towards Xiao Chen.
Facing such a desperate offensive, Xiao Chen was shocked. Before he could think about it, he waved his right hand and the Withered Wood Dragon’s Roar was executed in an instant.
Amidst the roar of the Heaven Shaking Dragon, the two of them collided with each other. They could be said to be extremely powerful. The mountains trembled, and the dust rolled. Xiao Chen felt his throat sweeten, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
In the end, he was still lacking in palm power against the last expert of the Cave Ruins Realm, and his entire body was out of control as he fell into the abyss.
Shen Quezi had suffered serious internal injuries. Seeing him fall off the cliff, he could only forcefully lift a mouthful of True Qi and rush down in an instant, wanting to capture him back. Unexpectedly, he had just jumped off the cliff when three silver needles with awe-inspiring killing intent shot towards him.
Shen Quezi could naturally feel how terrifying these three silver needles were. They were definitely not ordinary hidden weapons. In a hurry, he could only dodge to the side and avoid these three life-threatening needles. Unexpectedly, before he could turn around, Xiao Chen had two more Blood Transformation Needles in his hand that shot towards him.
Chi!
With a sharp sound, Shen Quezi could only dodge one of the heavenly divine abilities this time. The other Blood Transformation Needle pierced into his left arm.
“Ah!”
After the blood transforming needle entered his body, Shen Quezi let out a miserable scream. In such a short moment, his left arm turned purple-black, and his blood instantly solidified. Furthermore, it was rapidly spreading throughout his entire body.
He was knowledgeable and immediately knew that this was an extraordinary hidden weapon. He shouted in his heart. At this moment, he no longer cared about Xiao Chen. As he flew back to the cliff, he pointed his fingers at his left arm and sealed all the acupoints on his left arm. Only then did he manage to temporarily freeze the Blood Transformation Needle.
…
Let’s say that Xiao Chen was knocked off the cliff by Shen Quezi’s palm. That palm had already damaged his internal organs. If it wasn’t for Di Gu protecting his primordial spirit, even his primordial spirit would have been severely injured. The five Blood Transformation Needles were sent out by him using his last bit of strength.
At this moment, he no longer had any strength. He slowly closed his eyes and gradually lost consciousness, as if he had suddenly fallen into a quiet dream.
However, he didn’t know what kind of place was beneath this endless abyss.
