As the Universe Turns - Chapter 783
Chapter 783 Hidden People
Everything happened in a flash of lightning and flint. Before Lu Li could react, Ling Xuzi rushed forward. It was an extremely fierce attack, but when he approached Xiao Chen, the other party’s entire body suddenly disappeared.
“Shit …”
At this moment, Lu Li immediately thought that something was wrong. However, by the time he reacted, a finger force had already struck him. This finger force came too fast and too fierce. Lu Li knew that he could not dodge it, so he could only retract his offensive momentum and turn to defense. However, he was still a step behind.
“Bang!”
With a sharp sound, Lu Li was already hit by this finger force, and a mouthful of blood gushed out from his mouth. His entire body, like Ling Xuzi, flew backwards heavily.
“Elder Tai! Clan elder!”
It wasn’t until now that the Tai Shi Dao Sect and the Lu Clan reacted. Xiao Chen landed lightly on a floating island from the sky. It had only been a short while since he had attacked. There were even many people in the distance who couldn’t see it clearly, only to see Ling Xuzi and Lu Li cough up blood and fly back.
“There’s no need to be nervous!”
Lu Li calmed down first. He stared coldly at Xiao Chen in the distance with a wisp of blood at the corner of his mouth. He didn’t expect this person’s cultivation to be so high! Not only was his cultivation so high, his movement technique was also as unfathomable as a divine ghost. His speed was simply too fast …
“Fellow Daoist Lingxu, how are you?”
He sent a divine will to Ling Xuzi. Ling Xuzi’s face was covered in cold sweat. It was obvious that his injuries were more severe than his. His wrist was broken, and even his bones were exposed. This scene was too shocking and frightening. The disciples of the nearby Tai Shi Dao Sect were so frightened that their faces turned pale that they didn’t dare to move.
“It doesn’t matter …”
Ling Xuzi’s face was covered in sweat. Genuine energy’s left hand condensed and wiped the broken bones on his right hand. The broken bones recovered at a visible rate. In the end, nothing seemed to have happened. However, this had consumed a lot of his life, Genuine energy.
On Lustless Heaven’s side, many people were also stunned. Yang Xiaoran was even more incredulous. He always felt that Xiao Chen’s cultivation had improved a lot after returning from Wuwang Sea. Or was it that he already had this kind of cultivation, but he had been hiding it all along?
Thinking of this, Yang Xiaoran could only feel a chill coming from his back. He couldn’t help but recall that back then, when he was still at Pingyang Peak, that young man, now … it was really difficult to connect the two of them together.
On the floating island in the distance, Qianyu Nichang’s face was still as still as water. He did not reveal the slightest bit of surprise. However, Fu Ling, who was beside him, could not believe what he saw just now. The two people from Tai Shi Dao Sect and the Lu Clan were not ordinary Harmonious Stage cultivators. However, they were actually unable to even withstand a single move from Xiao Chen …
In the Desire-less Heavens, the cold wind was like a blade. Everyone was nervous and looked at everything in front of them motionlessly. Suddenly, Ling Xuzi and Lu Li’s eyes turned cold and they both attacked again. However, they no longer dared to be careless or underestimate their enemies after learning a lesson from the past.
“Six Suns-Divine Sword!”
Ling Xuzi pointed and six immortal swords appeared behind him. They were of different lengths and shapes, but each sword contained boundless power and killing intent. Under Ling Xuzi’s incantation spell, the six immortal swords slashed towards Xiao Chen at the same time, causing the surging winds and clouds in the vicinity.
“Ghost Talisman, summon!”
Lu Li continuously formed seals with both his hands and produced nine strange talismans. This was the Lu Clan’s strange technique. Under the urging of his incantation, the nine talismans immediately turned into nine ghost shadows of different shapes and attacked Xiao Chen with a whistle.
Within a radius of several kilometers, Ling Xuzi’s Six Yang Divine Sword became dazzling and blazing, while Lu Li’s Nine Ghost Talismans whispered in the wind. The two of them attacked Xiao Chen at the same time. Everyone’s expressions became nervous in Lustless Heaven.
“Insect Skill …”
Xiao Chen’s eyes remained calm as he flicked his finger with his left hand and several strands of azure zhenqi flew out, “Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!” With a sharp sound, Ling Xuzi’s Six Yang Divine Sword was blocked. With a flick of his right sleeve, a black mist covered Lu Li’s nine ghosts.
Seeing this scene, the people of Tai Shi Dao Sect and the Lu Clan in the distance were all shocked. They were able to block the attacks of Elder Tai and the Clan Elder so easily. Just what level of cultivation had this person reached?
However, Ling Xuzi and Lu Li seemed to have expected this. They looked at each other and suddenly activated the incantation art. With a loud “rumble”, the six immortal swords and the nine ghosts exploded. Terrifying power surged out, shattering the clouds that had just gathered for more than ten kilometers, and the nearby islands instantly turned into powder.
As the smoke and dust filled the air, Ling Xuzi and Lu Li instantly flew over. One of them struck Xiao Chen with his palm, sending him flying with a “bang”.
“Your Excellency …”
Many people in Lustless Heaven were shocked. Madam Xian Shu walked forward with a nervous expression. However, Hua Weiyang reached out to stop her. He shook his head and his gaze fell on Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen landed lightly on a floating boulder. Although Ling Xuzi and Lu Li had plotted to sneak attack him earlier, he was fine. With a flick of his sleeve, he still looked calm.
Looking at Ling Xuzi and Lu Li, the two of them were injured at first because they underestimated their enemies, but now they seemed to have regained some face because of the success of the sneak attack. They thought that that person’s cultivation was just like that. If they worked together, it was not impossible for them to deal with him just now.
“It doesn’t matter …”
Just as the twenty-four people from Night Shade were about to come out, Xiao Chen raised his hand, causing them to stay where they were. He looked at Ling Xuzi and Lu Li not far away and said indifferently, “Do whatever else you want …”
Ling Xuzi and Lu Li’s eyes turned cold, as if they had become much more confident because of what happened just now. At this moment, they did not hesitate and launched another fierce offensive.
Xiao Chen stared coldly at the two of them. When they got closer, the Nine Yin Nine Yang Profound Technique shook and a boundless amount of profound energy poured out. As Ling Xuzi and Lu Li attacked, they felt that the flood was unstoppable. The two of them immediately circulated their profound techniques at the same time, pushing Genuine energy to the limit. Only with a “rumble” did they block Xiao Chen’s Nine Yin Nine Yang Force.
Everyone in the distance held their breaths and watched. At this moment, the atmosphere was extremely tense. Xiao Chen’s clothes were dancing wildly, and his white hair was flying high. The profound energy on his body was suffocating. His left hand blocked Ling Xuzi’s power, while his right hand blocked Lu Li’s power. He was actually able to block the simultaneous attacks of the two masters by himself.
The nearby profound energy transformed into dazzling rays of light that surrounded the three of them. Instantly, a strong wind blew and the clouds surged endlessly. Even those far away could feel the terrifying power of the confrontation between the three of them. If an ordinary person approached, they would probably be shocked to death by the power of the three of them if they were slightly careless.
At this moment, everyone held their breath. Ling Xuzi and Lu Li’s faces were already covered in green veins. It was obvious that the two of them had already used their strength to the limit. If they were to forcefully activate them, they would probably be in danger of their meridians being burned.
However, at this moment, the two of them were unable to withdraw their merits. Once they withdrew their merits, the other party’s profound strength would pour down like a flood, instantly engulfing the two of them.
The two of them were already unable to get off their horses. Looking at Xiao Chen again, their faces were always calm. Even if one of them resisted the two of them, it didn’t seem to be difficult at all. They could even calmly say, “What? Is this the only way for the two of you to cultivate for more than a thousand years?”
Ling Xuzi and Lu Li clenched their teeth tightly. They didn’t dare to be distracted by the intense luck. Ling Xuzi forced open his mouth and said, “Brat, you don’t need to be arrogant, nor do you need to pretend. Your strength is limited to this. However, if you want to resist the two of us, your own strength will be exhausted first. When your strength is exhausted, your body and spirit will be destroyed!”
Xiao Chen remained silent. Lu Li continued, “Otherwise, let’s stop cultivating at the same time. If this continues, the meridians of the three of us will at most be incinerated together. There are many miraculous medicines in this old man’s clan. At most, they will only damage your cultivation for 200 years. However, brat, you will most likely become a cripple.”
Everyone in Lustless Heaven had nervous expressions on their faces. Obviously, they could see that if this continued, it would be greatly disadvantageous to Excellency. But who could come forward to help him at this moment? The three of them were too powerful, no one could get close to them.
After a short while, the profound strength around the three of them became stronger and stronger. Ling Xuzi and Lu Li’s burst of muscles and veins gradually turned red, as if they were on fire. Ling Xuzi’s eyes were terrifying, and he said coldly, “Brat, do you really want to burn both jade and stone …”
“Burn both jade and stone?”
Xiao Chen’s eyes remained calm as he said indifferently, “Everything in this world is a natural Dao Law. Dao begets one, two, three, and three lifetimes. It’s a waste of your courage to call it Tai Shi Dao Sect …”
“What are you talking about!”
Ling Xuzi’s eyes turned cold. At this moment, he seemed to have a premonition that something was wrong. Sure enough, all of the profound energy in the vicinity suddenly surged towards Xiao Chen. Along with his and Lu Li’s skills, it also surged towards Xiao Chen.
“What’s going on!”
Lu Li’s expression changed drastically. Before he could react, the cultivation power that he had cultivated for many years had actually flowed into Xiao Chen’s body continuously at this moment.
“Fear often reveals the fragility of one’s heart …”
Xiao Chen’s eyes were indifferent. As soon as he finished speaking, he began to circulate the technique of the remnant Heavenly Book Scroll crazily. He actually continuously absorbed Ling Xuzi and Lu Li’s techniques for his own use.
“Shit …”
The two of them had no choice but to hurriedly withdraw their contribution. At this moment, Xiao Chen sent out two unparalleled forces and heavily struck the two of them. This time, the two of them were seriously injured, and their internal organs almost split apart. A mouthful of blood spurted out, and their entire body flew backwards.
“The Dao of Heaven and Earth is extremely counter-productive and surplus is detrimental … It seems that you all do not understand the profound truths of the Profound Sect.”
Xiao Chen flicked his sleeve. At this moment, his cultivation returned to calm. His aura flowed like water. Even the clouds that were surging for dozens of kilometers in radius calmed down as his aura settled down.
In the distance, Tai Shi Dao Sect and the Lu Clan all revealed astonished expressions. They looked at him in disbelief. Everyone said that he was Lustless Heaven’s Great Devil, but they seemed to have overlooked one thing. He had once come out of Xianyuan Five Realms, the First Immortal Sect …
Looking at Ling Xuzi and Lu Li, fresh blood continuously gushed out of their mouths. This time, even their primordial spirits were severely injured. Xiao Chen’s eyes were indifferent, “It seems that you guys are still here for one person.”
At this point, he raised his palm slightly and a figure appeared when the void was neutral. That person was only a primordial spirit. His entire body was bound by black chains, and he was suffering from the burning of his primordial spirit. He continuously let out painful sounds, but it was Feng Wuyin who had schemed against the entire Lianhua Palace back then.
“Wuyin!”
Ling Xuzi was shocked. Blood kept flowing out of his mouth. He never expected that Feng Wuyin’s primordial spirit would be imprisoned by this person. How did he do this?
“Master … Master … save, save me …”
Feng Wuyin had suffered from the burning of his primordial spirit for ten years. This was what it meant to be unable to survive, unable to beg for death. The pain of burning his primordial spirit was far more painful than burning his physical body.
Even the disciples in Tai Shi Dao Sect felt a chill coming from behind them.
“Master …”
Feng Wuyin’s face was filled with pain. However, when he saw that even his master was seriously injured, it was as if he had instantly fallen into the abyss of despair. His voice was hoarse, “Go … please, please, please, my grandfather …”
“Grandfather …”
Ling Xuzi’s face froze. For so many years, he had never known that Feng Wuyin had a grandfather. Didn’t that senior send him over back then say that he was just an orphan? Could it be that his identity was … terrible!
“Feng’er, wait a moment. Master will save you now!”
Ling Xuzi’s expression changed drastically. He didn’t even care about his injuries. He circulated his profound arts and looked at Xiao Chen. “How are you willing to let him go?”
“Let him go …”
Xiao Chen’s eyes were indifferent. He slowly raised his head and looked into the distance. He said indifferently, “Since the senior hiding in the clouds has already arrived, why don’t you show yourself?”
