As the Universe Turns - Chapter 67
Chapter 67 Strange Youth
At this moment, the peak of the flat mountain was extremely noisy, but the voice came from far to near. Every word was clearly transmitted to everyone’s ears. It could be seen that the person who came had a deep cultivation base, and it was definitely not something an ordinary person could accomplish.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. The originally noisy crowd fell silent. Everyone looked in the direction where the voice came from. The clouds rushed to both sides. A green light flew over from the middle. When the light was near, they saw that it was a white-clothed youth riding a sword. He was quite handsome and elegant.
At this moment, Yi Chen’s expression became serious. That person looked almost exactly the same as him. Even the immortal sword under his feet was Master’s “Heavy Sky Sword”. It didn’t seem to be any different, but he could naturally sense that this sword was fake. It was made according to Master’s Heavy Sky Sword’s size. However, who could be so fake that it wasn’t even a tiny bit different in length and width?
Looking at the white-clothed youth, his eyebrows were sharp and his eyes were clear. Lang Ruoqiuyue was indeed too similar to him. However, his figure seemed to be slightly smaller, more like the one he had been two or three years ago.
“Brother Wu Chen, that person … seems to resemble you somewhat?”
At this time, Guisi also walked up and stared fixedly at the “Xiao Yichen” who was riding the sword from afar.
“Mm, this Xiao Yichen … seems to be somewhat similar to me.”
Yi Chen smiled bitterly. Fortunately, he had changed his clothes and hairstyle before he left. Otherwise, the two of them would look exactly the same at this moment.
Right now, he was certain that the person’s appearance was not changed by immortal techniques. The change in immortal techniques was just an illusion. Although it could quickly change him into another person’s appearance, it was extremely easy to see through such a change technique. As long as there was a person with a slightly higher cultivation, the change technique would be immediately seen through.
Today, there were quite a few elders with profound cultivation, but no one could tell that this person had used the Transformation Technique. This meant that this person did not use the Transformation Technique, but used an extremely superb disguise technique!
This person’s disguise technique was absolutely amazing. Even his voice could become similar to his own!
The fake Yi Chen slowly descended to the top of the mountain with a gentle smile on his face. He hugged the cultivators in all directions and said, “Xiao came late. I’m sorry to have made everyone wait so long.”
“No problem, no problem. Little friend Xiao, just come.”
Everyone who was still speaking angrily immediately became friendly. Although they were a little angry just now, now that they were here, they weren’t playing with them. Moreover, the other party was Fairy Miaoyin’s disciple, so they still had to give him some face. Moreover, the other party was polite at this moment, so why did they have to be unfriendly?
In the distance, Yi Chen felt a little relieved when he saw how courteous this person was. Fortunately, this person didn’t use his name to do evil. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to wash his head away if he jumped into the East China Sea. Since that was the case, then let’s see what this person was up to. Unless he had to, he wouldn’t stand out and expose him.
“I’ve heard of the names of the seven seniors of the Mysterious Valley for a long time. Today, this junior is not talented enough. I dare to ask the seven seniors for advice. I hope that the seven seniors will not hesitate to give me their advice.” The fake Yi Chen walked slowly to the front of several boulders and clasped his fists and laughed loudly, “I’ve heard the name of the seven seniors of the Mysterious Valley.”
These words were neither humble nor arrogant, neither arrogant nor too humble. Several old men nodded silently in the distance. They all thought in their hearts that they were worthy of being Ling Yin’s disciples. They truly had the style of a famous family.
At this moment, the seven eccentric people sitting on the boulder slowly opened their eyes. A purple-clothed white-bearded old man leading them said, “I dare not give you advice. Since little friend has come as promised today, I wonder which of the seven of us little friend wants to challenge.”
Fake Yi Chen smiled and said, “This junior is not talented. I want to ask the seven seniors for advice.”
When these words were spoken, many people nearby were stunned. They were truly young and vigorous. All of the seven ghosts in the Mysterious Valley had extraordinary cultivations, and they only needed to win one of them. That was also a renowned achievement. He actually wanted to challenge seven of them.
The white-bearded old man remained calm after hearing this. He only slightly nodded his head and said, “I wonder which of the seven of us little friend wants to challenge first today.”
Fake Yi Chen still smiled and said, “This junior is not talented. I want to ask the seven seniors for advice at the same time.”
These words shocked many people even more. Everyone thought that he was going to challenge Old man Zi Yi, the leader of the seven ghosts, but they didn’t expect him to challenge all of them. Now, he was going to challenge all seven of them at the same time. Isn’t it too shocking to say that?
Is it true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers? Not to mention the fact that the cultivation of all seven ghosts in the Mysterious Valley wasn’t low, if they worked together at the same time, it wouldn’t be a simple seven-fold increase in one person’s strength.
The crowd immediately began to discuss. Judging from the calm and relaxed manner of this person, it didn’t seem like he was bragging. Was he really confident that he would be able to win against the seven of them working together? This was incredible.
In the distance, Yi Chen was also secretly pondering, what exactly was this person’s origin? Looking at his confident appearance, it didn’t seem like he was joking, but if he had the strength to defeat the seven ghosts of the Mysterious Valley, why would he pretend to be himself? Could it be that he had specially made his name for himself? What kind of medicine is this gourd selling? And observe quietly for a while longer.
The Seven Ghosts of the Mysterious Valley heard that this person wanted to challenge the seven of them at the same time and jumped down from the boulder. The faces of the seven of them were still as calm as ever, but in reality, they had already set up an array formation. Old man Zi Yi said “please”, and the fake Yi Chen unleashed his movement technique to attack the seven of them.
This time, it came as fast as lightning. Before many people could see it clearly, the fake Yi Chen had already stabbed at a middle-aged Qingyi. The middle-aged Qingyi did not expect that he would instantly see through the formation eyes of the seven of them. He immediately hurriedly floated backwards and did not go straight to the front to avoid messing up the formation of the other six people.
Everyone in the distance nodded their heads. Indeed, they were Ling Yin’s disciples. A hero was a youth. Not only was his sword technique so fast, but his reaction was also so swift. As a result, the seven ghosts of the Mysterious Valley could no longer suppress him with formations.
“Clang! Clang! Clang!”
Everyone was dazzled when they heard the sounds of weapons handing over in midair. However, when they saw that fake Yi Chen’s figure was extremely fast, as if the wind in the forest taught them to be unfathomable. The swordsmanship in his hand also made him outstanding. Even if he was surrounded by seven people, he did not seem to be at a disadvantage at all.
“Is this Fairy Miaoyin’s Ling Xianbu and Jade Flute Sword Technique? Sure enough, there are some skills …”
Everyone in the distance praised endlessly. Obviously, there were no such outstanding young disciples under their sect. For a moment, many people revealed expressions of praise.
Xiao Yi Chen was also quietly watching, wondering who this person was. Not only was his cultivation not inferior to his own, even his master’s Ling Xianbu and Jade Flute Sword Techniques were well-learned. He taught those who had never seen his master’s True Techniques to be completely unable to distinguish between true and false.
“Zheng Zheng Zheng!”
Another three sharp sounds rang out. Dust flew within a radius of more than ten feet of the fake Yi Chen. The sounds of weapons handing over entered everyone’s ears. Gradually, the dust became heavier and heavier, and everyone was unable to see it clearly.
Clang!
Another loud explosion suddenly sounded. A heavy hammer of black iron flew out from inside. It was the fifth ghost of the seven ghosts of the Mysterious Valley, the Spirit Refining Hammer. Unexpectedly, it was shot down. Quite a few people were shocked. Then, they saw the Spirit Refining Ghost fly out from inside. Since the other party had already shot down the weapon in his hand, it was considered a defeat.
Many people began to discuss. Just as the crowd was bustling with noise, another crisp sound came out. Following that, a strange red sword flew out. It was the blade of the third ghost, the Scarlet Soul Ghost. The Scarlet Soul Ghost had also been defeated.
At this moment, the crowd immediately quieted down. They stared fixedly at the dusty mountain peak. After a short incense stick of time, six of the seven ghosts of the Mysterious Valley had their weapons blasted away. Now, only Old man Zi Yi was left.
This time, everyone had no choice but to admire him. To be able to defeat the other party’s weapon under the siege of the seven ghosts of the Mysterious Valley, this person was indeed formidable. Even if he lost to Old man Zi Yi today, no one would underestimate him.
“Clang! Clang!”
A loud noise could be heard continuously. The fake Yi Chen’s figure was unfathomable like a ghost, and the sword technique in his hand was also unpredictable. However, when he saw the azure sword energy enveloping the surroundings, it was impossible to tell whether it was real or real.
“Senior, be careful.”
The fake Yi Chen smiled gently like a handsome young man. He thrust his sword towards Old man Zi Yi. This sword thrust out like tens of thousands of arrows. Layers of sword shadows immediately covered the heavens and earth, enveloping Old man Zi Yi’s entire body.
“Clang! Clang! Clang!”
Three sharp sounds echoed on the edge of the cliff. Old man Zi Yi had already been forced to the edge of the cliff. He took another step back and had to fall ten thousand feet off the cliff. A smile flashed on the fake Yi Chen’s face as he stabbed out three times in a row. The old man raised his staff to block, but his wrist was raised by the edge of the sword. The profound iron staff in his hand was immediately sent flying. With a “bang”, it forcefully stabbed into a hard rock ten feet away, causing dust to fly up.
“Oh!”
This time, many people cried out in shock. It was hard to believe that even they were unable to see clearly how this young man drew his sword with those exquisite sword techniques just now. As expected, this young man was truly terrifying. He was formidable!
“Seven seniors, please forgive me.”
Fake Yi Chen smiled faintly. He tapped his feet and landed lightly on the ground. He put away the green sword and flicked his hand. Then, he took out a folding fan and calmly shook it.
“You …”
Scarlet Soul Ghost seemed to be a little unconvinced. Just as he was about to step forward, Old man Zi Yi reached out to stop him and said to the fake Yi Chen, “Little friend’s swordsmanship is indeed exquisite. The seven of us are willing to admit defeat. You win. Tell me, what are your requirements?”
At this moment, many people held their breaths. This young man was indeed worthy of his reputation. One sword versus seven masters, Even though he couldn’t defeat the seven ghosts of the Mysterious Valley by himself if he fought with his profound strength, losing meant losing. Winning meant winning. The seven ghosts of the Mysterious Valley had been famous for a long time and would never go back on their word with a child. Since they lost, they would be convinced. Next, it would be up to the young man to decide what he wanted, even if they wanted the seven ghosts of the Mysterious Valley to retreat from Jianghu.
