As the Universe Turns - Chapter 919
Chapter 919 Xiao Meng’er’s Killing Intent
“You …”
Looking at his indifferent gaze, Xiao Meng’er couldn’t help but frown. She could feel that this person in front of her was not only harboring some kind of indistinct hostility towards her, but also seemed to harbor this kind of hostility towards the entire Xiao Clan …
Could this person be an enemy of the clan?
Of course, she didn’t care about guessing the identity of the person in front of her at this moment. With a swipe of her finger, she immediately lifted up the Lotus Platform and flew towards the direction where the shock was coming from.
Facing this woman, Xiao Chen would not be careless. Originally, he had thought that no one below the Quasi-Sage Realm could be his opponent. Furthermore, the Xiao Clan’s Heavenly Pride Daughter was clearly at the same cultivation realm as him. She had not reached the Quasi-Sage Realm, but her own strength was already above that of some Quasi-Saints.
The shockwaves coming from the front became more and more intense. Xiao Chen took a step forward and chased after him with the Ling Xian Steps. When Xiao Meng’er saw him chasing after her, she swept the dust in her hand and a boundless amount of True Qi suddenly surged towards him like mountains and seas.
However, wherever the True Qi passed, the rocks along the way instantly turned into powder. Xiao Chen leapt into the air and flew more than ten zhang high. Then, he struck down with the roar of a withered wood dragon.
The loud dragon roar caused the cliffs on both sides to tremble. The rubble continued to roll down. Xiao Meng’er swept through the dust and forcefully lifted Genuine energy. He similarly struck out with his palm. This palm was not from the Immortal Joan Sect, but from Xiao Clan’s ancient martial arts. Its internal strength was extremely mellow.
“Boom!”
The collision of their palms caused the earth to shake and rocks to roll down from both sides. Even the rock wall was covered with cracks.
Xiao Meng’er stepped on the Immortal Lotus and jumped back more than ten zhang. Her expression was uncertain. Just now, she could clearly feel that this person’s strength was extremely deep, even surpassing some of the elders in the clan. Just where did this person come from …
As for Xiao Chen, his eyes narrowed slightly as he stood in midair. He could also feel that Xiao Clan Ancient Martial Arts did indeed have its own path. If it was an ordinary person, an ordinary cultivation technique, it would definitely not be able to block his withered wood dragon’s roar so easily.
After all, this palm technique was taught by Lian Feng Tower back then, and its power was definitely not comparable to Daoist Kusong’s palm technique.
“Your Excellency will definitely obstruct me today.”
Very quickly, Xiao Meng’er calmed down. Outside, she was an expert disciple of the Xianqiong Sect’s Immortal Monarch Donghua, the granddaughter of the Xiao Clan’s Patriarch. She was a once-in-a-thousand-year proud daughter of the heavens. It was as if she had been born with all sorts of halos on her body.
In the Spirit Ruins Realm, not to mention her peers, even some senior figures respected her and called her “Fairy Xiao”.
However, today, she met a person of the same generation as her. Facing this person’s three obstructions, at this moment, a cold killing intent finally appeared in her eyes.
“Oh …”
Xiao Chen could sense the killing intent in her eyes. He placed his left hand behind his back and three silver needles appeared between his fingers. Of course, they were just ordinary silver needles, not Blood Transformation Needles.
Even though he knew that he wouldn’t have any blood relationship with the young miss of the Xiao Clan in front of him, because back then, his father was originally just an unknown member of the Xiao Clan. After he wasn’t an elder, he wouldn’t have any relationship with the high and mighty head of the Xiao Clan. He only had the same surname, Xiao.
However, even so, there was no need for him to kill this woman in front of him. However, he had to obtain the Eye of the Nether Spring and would not let this woman return to the Xiao Clan.
But at this moment, the killing intent in Xiao Meng’er’s eyes was getting colder and colder. Perhaps she thought that no one could see any changes in her eyes, but with Xiao Chen’s keen perception, not to mention the killing intent that she revealed invisible at this moment, it was impossible for her to escape from his perception even if there was a slight change in her emotions.
At this moment, Xiao Chen suddenly swept his gaze across the dust. His other hand had already activated a powerful palm force. However, before she could release her palm force, Xiao Chen’s three silver needles had already shot towards her.
Although these three silver needles weren’t exterminating items like the Blood Transformation Needles, they were now accurately aimed at her three acupoints. They didn’t harm her life, but they could temporarily restrain her.
Of course, with Xiao Meng’er’s divine sense, she could also sense that the three hidden weapons that had suddenly shot towards her had already gathered palm power. At this moment, she could only change her moves and block the three silver needles with her horizontal sword, ejecting them one by one.
Right now, Xiao Chen’s hair needle skill was naturally extremely powerful. Even if it was just a small ordinary silver needle, in his hand, its power would only be infinitely enlarged.
After Xiao Meng’er blocked the silver needles he sent, her eyes became even colder. With a sweep of the dust, the fallen leaves within a hundred feet of her instantly turned into incomparably sharp blades and slashed towards Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen didn’t dare to be careless in the face of such a strong wind and sharp blade. With a wave of his hands, his True Qi instantly transformed into thousands of silver needles. Like rain drops, it pierced through the fallen leaves and shot straight at Xiao Meng’er.
The two of them fought for a while, and it was hard to determine the outcome. However, the shockwaves coming from afar were getting more and more intense.
Xiao Meng’er knew in her heart that this person’s subordinate was trying to force the Eye of the Netherworld Spring, but most of the time, it would only destroy the earth veins here. At the same time, the Eye of the Netherworld Spring would also disappear. She did not expect that Xiao Ling’er and the others above would be able to seize the Eye of the Netherworld Spring for her at this moment. She could only rely on herself.
Suddenly, she held a whisk in her left hand and placed it on her shoulder. Her right hand twisted its fingers and formed a seal. At the same time, she muttered, “Five colors make people blind, five sounds make people deaf … Forbidden!”
At this moment, a mysterious force swept across the world. Everything that Xiao Chen saw in front of him suddenly paled. Even his voice suddenly disappeared. It was as if the entire world had lost its color, becoming deathly silent.
“Your Excellency, just stay here for a while.” Xiao Meng’er’s voice was ice-cold as she swept through the dust. She raised the Lotus Platform and instantly flew into the distance.
Xiao Chen was still in this abyss, as if he had fallen into some kind of real illusion. Everything he saw before him was real, but it lost its color, and he could no longer hear anything. It was like a prison in heaven and earth, trapping him here.
This technique was precisely Xiao Meng’er’s Dao Art, Five-Colored Bewilderment. Once someone was caught in this technique, they would always be trapped in the middle of the technique. Unless they were able to break this technique with a profound technique, they would never be able to leave.
…
At this moment, on the other side of the abyss, Zi Yuan was controlling the Spiritual Vein Ring in midair. She was trying her best to lure the Eye of the Netherspring up from the depths of the ground. However, unless Night Shade and the other 24 were there, it would be difficult for her to do so alone.
“Rumble!”
The entire Abyss Valley was shaking more and more violently. If this continued, it would definitely alert the other cultivators above. Zi Yuan’s face was already slightly pale, and a layer of cold sweat had already condensed on her forehead. Obviously, the Eye of the Netherspring was even harder to obtain than the Eye of the Frost Pool and the Eye of Flame Sun in the past.
At this moment, several strands of sword Qi suddenly flew over from afar. Zi Yuan’s perception of danger was so keen that she dodged to the side in an instant. Turning around, she saw a figure flying several miles away. It was Xiao Meng’er. She was still several miles away in the past, but in the blink of an eye, she was already within a hundred zhang.
“Shit …”
Seeing that she was the only one who came, but Excellency was nowhere to be seen, Zi Yuan immediately thought that something was wrong. Since Excellency could not hold her back, he must have been trapped.
However, seeing Xiao Meng’er’s cold expression, the Eye of the Nether Spring that she had been exploring for a few years had been tracked down with great difficulty. However, it had been destroyed by someone. At this moment, she didn’t say anything else. With a sweep of the dust, several sharp sword qi flew over.
Xiao Chen could block Xiao Meng’er’s sword qi, but how could Zi Yuan block it? Before the Sword Qi could reach her, she was already unable to breathe. If she was struck by the Sword Qi, it was the same as being struck by a Quasi-Sage Sword. Only her body and spirit could be destroyed!
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
In this instant, Zi Yuan’s body transformed into several avatars. Those avatars were all dispersed by the sword qi in an instant, but her true body avoided the sword qi.
Even so, Zi Yuan’s heart couldn’t help but tremble slightly. Xiao Meng’er’s murderous intent must be because of Excellency …
Right now, she didn’t have time to think about it. Xiao Meng’er stretched out her hand to retrieve the Spirit Vein Ring. Unexpectedly, Xiao Meng’er flicked her sleeve and a surge of profound energy surged out. Before Zi Yuan could retrieve the Spirit Vein Ring, she felt as if Mount Tai was pressing down on her. She had no choice but to give up the Spirit Vein Ring and retreat. Unexpectedly, she was still rushed to the Spirit Vein Ring Ring Ring.
But at this moment, Xiao Meng’er’s killing intent did not diminish. With her two fingers together, the Dust Heart Sword instantly transformed into a hundred zhang azure light that pierced through the void. This sword actually directly took Zi Yuan’s life, leaving no room for maneuver!
Zi Yuan was shocked. Why was she so murderous towards him? It wasn’t because she was angry with Excellency, but …
At this moment, she had already thought that Xiao Meng’er wanted to kill her not because she was angry, but because she knew that Excellency would arrive soon. At that time, Excellency would definitely hold her back and let her go get the Eye of Spirit Veins …
And she couldn’t count on the people from the Xiao Clan just now, so in order to prevent this situation from happening, she had to kill herself first, even if she didn’t have any grievances or enmity with her.
Thinking of this, Zi Yuan felt her entire body go cold. It was as if she had fallen into an ice abyss. Even though Night Shade had assassinated countless people over the years and had already put her life at risk, she still felt a wave of coldness coming from her. This woman was so decisive, so scheming, she would definitely be a great enemy of Excellency in the future!
But at this moment, she was no longer able to dodge. No matter how powerful Night Shade’s movement technique was, she was still alone. How could she block Xiao Meng’er, whose cultivation was much higher than hers? How could he resist the Dust Heart Sword in Xiao Meng’er’s hand?
Seeing that the sword was getting closer and closer, she had nowhere to escape. The sword wind had already enveloped her entire body, and it was already a certain death situation!
