As the Universe Turns - Chapter 712
Chapter 712 Cold Pool
“Bang!”
Mad Devil’s palm struck right below Ruoshui’s left shoulder. Even though a purple light blocked it, and the Purple Cloud Immortal Clothes she wore blocked it, she was still sent flying by this palm strike.
Everyone in the distance was shocked. How could she withstand this madman’s palm strike? Xiao Chen flew up in an instant and reached out to catch her. Her face was deathly pale. She was also looking at him at this moment. However, she was temporarily speechless after being hit by the mad devil’s palm.
“Ah!”
The mad devil roared wildly and shook the valley. In an instant, he rushed up again. At this moment, layers of dark clouds suddenly appeared on Xiao Chen’s face. It became ice-cold and terrifying. The scene when Ruoshui was hit by the mad devil just now only reminded him of the scene when Daoist Feng Yin had blocked his attack at the Heavenly Gate ten years ago.
“You shouldn’t have hurt her.”
At this moment, Xiao Chen’s eyes turned as cold as ice. He flicked his right sleeve and a sword light flew out. A strong wind blew in all directions. The sound of the sword howling pierced into the clouds of the Nine Heavens, causing the swords in everyone’s hands to tremble at this moment.
“Zheng!”
With a loud explosion, this sword blocked the attack of the mad devil. Everyone in the distance was shocked, and some people couldn’t help but exclaim, “That’s Evil Sword Di Gu!”
The coldness of the Di Gu Sword caused everyone present to tremble. They couldn’t help but retreat. Whose sword dared to compete with this sword?
No one, no sword.
Even though his cultivation was as strong as a mad devil, he was still constantly retreating under the Di Gu Sword. The ground beneath his feet was cracked inch by inch. He was actually completely unable to resist the Di Gu Sword.
“Ah!”
With a loud shout, Mad Demon’s entire body became even more mad. The veins on his face burst out, and his eyes seemed as if they were about to burst open. However, no matter what, he was unable to resist the sword in front of him! Even his palms, arms, and shoulders were split open, and fresh blood seeped out continuously.
Everyone in the distance was stunned. Was this the Di Gu Sword? To think that it would be so terrifying …
Over the past ten years, Xiao Chen had never easily used Di Gu. The cold intent in the sword would sometimes cause his mind to be in a mess. Perhaps, as the old beggar had said, this sword’s baleful aura would constantly corrode his mind day and night, making his killing intent heavier and heavier.
“Zheng!”
Di Gu let out another sword cry, forcing the mad devil to retreat more than ten zhang. At this moment, Xiao Chen’s figure moved and he rushed over in an instant. He heavily struck his forehead with a palm.
“Pu!”
The mad devil immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was covered in blood, and blood continuously flowed out of his eyes. His entire body became exceptionally terrifying.
“Ahhhhh!”
The roars continued, causing the nearby people’s ears to crack. The mad devil covered his head with both hands. His brain and origin soul were heavily injured again, but he was still alive. However, his entire body had already become even more insane.
“Lord Lustless Heaven … Lustless Heaven, Xiao Yichen … I will remember today’s enmity! Aaaaaah!”
The mad devil roared endlessly. His mind was in a daze, but he still had a trace of reason. He knew that he was no match for the other party today. With a single step, he was about to flee the valley.
Xiao Chen’s eyes turned cold. At this moment, his killing intent was revealed. His fingers condensed, wanting to urge Di Gu to kill this person. However, at this moment, the entire valley trembled violently, causing his body to shake. Turning around, he saw that a layer of mysterious energy outside the serene pond had dispersed.
At this moment, the mad devil had already escaped. As for the Lu Clan’s elder, the four envoys, and the two old men from Tai Shi Dao Sect, seeing that the situation was not right, these people took advantage of the moment when Xiao Chen was absent-minded to look at each other and flee. Today, they had failed to deal with Xiao Chen, so they could only think of another way.
“Boom!”
In a short moment, the entire valley trembled even more violently. The surrounding dust was flying everywhere, except for the nearby serene pond, which was still intact.
“Big … big brother …”
Ruoshui had slowly recovered, but his face was still slightly pale. Xiao Chen slowly put her down and asked, “Are you alright?”
“No, it’s fine.”
Ruoshui shook his head and said, “Fortunately, Third Martial Uncle gave me the Purple Cloud Celestial Clothes. Otherwise, that palm strike just now would have killed me …”
Xiao Chen naturally knew that she was wearing an immortal robe, which was a powerful defensive magic treasure. However, the mad devil’s palm strike just now was so heavy. Even if she was wearing an immortal robe, how could she be fine? It seemed strange.
“Ruoshui!”
At this moment, an urgent voice suddenly sounded not far away. A few figures flew over from outside the valley.
Among those people, the woman who flew in first was as cold as ice. Nichang, dressed in feathered clothes, possessed an immortal aura that was peerless. It was as if Fairy from the Heaven Realm had descended from the mortal world. It was none other than Qianyu Nichang. The few people who flew in next were also Excellency’s disciples, Fu Ling, Leng Qianxue, Xia Guyun, Lou Qingshan, Zhao Ying’er, and the others.
“Senior Sister … Senior Brother …”
Seeing that the senior apprentice-brother and senior apprentice-sister of the sect had arrived, Ruoshui was delighted. He was just about to say that she had found the senior apprentice-brother of the past. Unexpectedly, the expressions of the people opposite her changed drastically. All of them looked like they were facing a great enemy. Leng Qianxue even took out her own immortal sword and said in a swift voice, “Junior apprentice-sister … hurry over!”
“Ah?”
Ruoshui stared blankly at his senior apprentice-brother and senior apprentice-sister not far away. Why were they so vigilant when they saw his senior apprentice-brother? She was still young, and she had always been in Xuanqing Sect. Naturally, she did not know what was going on in the world, nor did she know where Lustless Heaven was.
Previously, she had only heard people say such things when she was in the tavern. As for what those people said about the Lord of Lustless Heaven, she had not reacted at first. At this moment, she saw that several senior brothers and sisters looked like they were facing a great enemy. Only then did she react. Could it be that this senior brother beside her was actually the Lord of Lustless Heaven?
Ruoshui felt as if he was suddenly dumbfounded. Even standing there, he felt like he was shaking. No wonder, no wonder those people said that Big Brother was a devil …
“Zheng!”
Suddenly, an ice-cold sword rang out in the valley. Qianyu Nichang took out his Autumn Water Sword and pointed it at Xiao Chen. He said coldly, “What are you going to do today?”
Seeing Senior Sister pull out her sword, Ruoshui’s mind seemed to explode. He shook his hand and said, “Senior Sister, don’t misunderstand. Senior Brother, he …”
“Shut up!”
Qianyu Nichang looked at Xiao Chen coldly and said, “He is no longer a disciple of our Xuanqing Sect. Why do you call him Senior Brother? He’s not here yet!”
“No … it’s not like this …”
Ruoshui continued to shake his hand and said, “Senior Brother, he is not a bad person. He has been protecting me all this way. Otherwise, I would have been …”
“Humph!”
Qianyu Nichang coldly snorted and pointed his sword at Xiao Chen. “Not a bad person? You know what a good person is and what a bad person is when you’re young! Do you know how many people he has killed over the years?”
“Kill … Kill …”
Ruoshui was even more dumbfounded. At this moment, it was as if a bolt of lightning had struck his body. He turned around trembling and stared blankly at the big brother in front of him. “Big brother … tell me, you didn’t kill anyone …”
