As the Universe Turns - Chapter 976
Chapter 976 Di Gu Sword Italy
At this moment, the battle between the two sides became more and more intense in midair. The surrounding mountain peaks rumbled. The two black-robed Pseudo-Saints might really think that Xiao Chen could not kill them, but they gradually lost their vigilance and became less vigilant than they had been at the beginning.
However, seeing the two of them teleport, they no longer had any misgivings about attacking. They even completely abandoned their defenses and instead attacked even harder.
However, underestimating their enemies was often fatal, especially since their opponent’s strength was not inferior to theirs.
“Boom boom boom boom!”
A loud noise rang out as the hundred or so experts gradually approached. They surrounded the two of them and gradually narrowed the area. At this moment, Shui Hanyan and Xiao Chen were leaning against each other’s backs. Both of their hands were continuously forming seals. Layers after layer of water blue light covered the two of them, causing their true energy to become even more abundant.
“Looks like it won’t be easy to leave this place if we don’t solve these troubles … Do you mind if I kill someone in front of you?”
Xiao Chen said indifferently, while Shui Hanyan’s face was slightly stunned. It was already at this time that he was actually able to be so calm, saying the word “kill” so easily.
“Forget it. If you mind, then close your eyes.”
Xiao Chen’s tone was still calm. When Shui Hanyan heard this, her brows furrowed. Although she did not like killing people, at a time when her life and death were at stake, did Xiao Chen really treat her as a young girl who did not understand the world?
Just as she was about to refute, a murderous aura suddenly enveloped the boundless wilderness. In an instant, a chilling killing intent appeared in the cold wind. Shui Hanyan trembled slightly. This cold killing intent actually came from Xiao Chen behind her!
How could it …
This time, Shui Hanyan’s face couldn’t help but turn pale. Although this young man looked ice-cold, how could there be such a frightening killing intent on him!
Suddenly, wisps of blood-red energy appeared around the two of them. This blood-red energy was actually formed from the killing intent!
Such a heavy killing intent could actually be manifested. Who could not be frightened? Shui Hanyan was even more stunned. How could there be such a heavy killing intent on his body …
“What a heavy killing intent …”
The two black-robed Pseudo-Saints had never imagined that this person actually possessed such a heavy murderous aura. At this moment, it was as if he had suddenly become a different person. His cold eyes had faintly turned a little blood red.
“This …”
The surrounding hundred cultivators were also intimidated. The two Pseudo-Saints were still able to stabilize their minds, but they did not possess Pseudo-Saints’ cultivation after all. Under this murderous aura, they felt as if they were in a cage, and their hearts were trembling endlessly.
“If I wanted to leave just now, it might be too late. Now … it seems to be a little late.”
Xiao Chen’s eyes were cold. At this moment, even his voice seemed to be filled with murderous intent. The hearts of the hundreds of people around him trembled. He didn’t know when a strange sword filled with murderous intent had appeared in his hand.
There was a bloody scar on the sword’s body, and blood energy continuously seeped out from it. Just a single glance was enough to make people feel as if they had fallen into an abyss. What a heavy sword aura …
Although the Di Gu Sword was powerful, Xiao Chen rarely used it. Only when he killed someone would he use it. This sword was one of the six peerless profound weapons of ancient times. Countless people, even Fiendgods, had died under this sword.
Su Ye once said that this sword was filled with killing intent. It could be said to be the number one “fierce sword” in the world. If the sword was left beside him, the sword intent would gradually devour the master’s temperament, causing the sword master to become murderous and impermanent.
More importantly, there was a terrifying legend about the Di Gu Sword. It was said that no matter who obtained the Di Gu Sword, even if they eventually became the ruler of the world, they would still be alone. In the end, the previous owner of the sword used this sword to commit suicide, leaving behind a bloody scar on the sword’s body.
With such a legend, this Lord Devouring Sword became even more mysterious and fierce. At the same time, people were deeply afraid and fearful of obtaining it.
“Be careful … it’s that sword!”
At this moment, the two Quasi-Saints seemed to finally react. It was the strange sword in Xiao Chen’s hand, but it was already too late.
Even though the two Quasi-Saints escaped the moment the sword was launched, ten to twenty of the hundred plus people around them did not have time to dodge it. They turned into a bloody mist under the sword and their bodies and spirits were annihilated!
What was even more bizarre and terrifying was that the blood mist had actually been absorbed into the sword, causing the bloodstains on the sword to become even heavier.
“This …”
Everyone in the distance was shocked, and their faces instantly turned extremely pale. Even the two Quasi-Saints’ hearts were filled with waves of shock. How could this sword be so terrifying …
Shui Hanyan was also slightly stunned. She looked at Xiao Chen in disbelief. No wonder he had killing intent ten times heavier than an ordinary person. It turned out that he had always carried such a vicious sword with him. Such a vicious sword, wasn’t he afraid that he would be devoured by this sword for a long time?
At this moment, with Di Gu’s appearance, the originally tense situation was reversed. The people who had been besieging Xiao Chen and Shui Hanyan all revealed cowardice. The dozen or so people who had been with them just now had all died under this sword before they could even react. How could they not be frightened?
“The reason why the weak become weak is because … they will always feel that they are strong enough.”
Xiao Chen couldn’t see any pity in his cold eyes. As soon as he finished speaking, Di Gu Sword turned into a ray of blood and flew out again.
Chi! At this moment, no one dared to step forward, because no one knew if he would become the next person to die under this sword.
Fear was human nature.
At this moment, the two black-robed Quasi-Saints had never imagined that such an earth-shattering reversal would suddenly occur, even though their victory was in their grasp.
Without hesitation, the two of them instantly took out their Immortal Swords. The two swords were originally brilliant and exuded an extremely powerful sword qi. However, under Di Gu’s ruthless sword qi, the two swords instantly became pale and even trembled, as if a subject had seen a monarch. They were terrified and uneasy.
“Zheng!”
Another cold sword howl pierced through the clouds. Xiao Chen once again attacked with his sword. However, this sword was not an ordinary sword technique. It was one of the three swords that the old beggar had taught him back then, the Human Sword.
To activate a human sword, one had to instantly burn 30% of the Genuine energy in one’s body. Even though it was only 30%, it was no small matter. Not to mention, it was still issued by Di Gu Sword?
At this moment, the sky was filled with surging clouds. The clouds surged endlessly, and the earth trembled in all directions. It was as if all the spiritual energy in the world had been gathered onto that sword!
“Shit …”
The faces of the two Quasi-Saints also turned pale like the swords in their hands. When they reacted, the sword was already close to their eyes. How could they resist it?
At this moment, the black-robed Quasi-Sage Hand on the left stretched out and grabbed someone from the sky to block Xiao Chen’s sword momentum. He knew that this sword strike would definitely drink blood, and if he didn’t drink blood, he wouldn’t return!
Chi!
With a sharp sound, the person who had been captured turned into a bloody mist under Di Gu before he could react.
However, even if someone blocked the sword with their body, Di Gu still emitted a blood energy in Xiao Chen’s hand. The sword momentum did not stop, and he still slashed towards the Quasi-Sage with a sharp sword strike.
“Zheng!”
With a sharp sound, the Quasi-Sage used his Immortal Sword to block, but he was unable to block it. The Immortal Sword was shaken by Di Gu, and cracks immediately covered its body. As if it was heavily injured, the Quasi-Sage coughed out a mouthful of blood and flew backwards.
The other Quasi-Sage was shocked. He hurriedly flew over and caught the injured Quasi-Sage. At this moment, fear flashed across their faces. However, what they were looking at was not Xiao Chen, who was currently enveloped in killing intent, but the vicious sword that was floating in mid-air and constantly emitting killing intent!
The two of them had never imagined that this person would have such a terrifying sword on him. It would be difficult for them to complete the mission today.
The wounded Quasi-Sage’s face was deathly pale. If it wasn’t for his Immortal Sword Protector blocking it for him just now, he would have been heavily injured by his primordial spirit even if he hadn’t died. At this moment, he didn’t hesitate to say, “Let’s go!”
He knew that with this person around, it was impossible for the two of them to take Shui Hanyan away. However, the other Quasi-Sage was still unwilling. Taking advantage of the fact that Xiao Chen’s sword had not yet been recalled, he suddenly used a divine ability. He extended his hand and immediately turned into a black mist that enveloped Shui Hanyan.
At this moment, Shui Hanyan was absent-minded. She did not expect the other party to suddenly attack her. When she reacted, she wanted to dodge, but it was already too late.
The black mist formed from the Quasi-Sage’s arm instantly enveloped her. However, the former did not seem to know that the Di Gu Sword had long been connected to Xiao Chen’s origin soul. It was not an ordinary sword-riding ability. With just a thought from Xiao Chen, Di Gu seemed to have given him life and was able to slash through it in an instant.
Chi!
In the cold wind, there was a sharp sound. Immediately, blood mist sprayed down, followed by a miserable scream from the Quasi-Sage. His arm, which had turned into a black mist, was actually sliced off by Di Gu’s sword.
The people in the distance were already scared out of their wits, hurting two Quasi-Sage experts in succession. The terrifying power of this sword was far beyond their imagination.
“Let’s go!”
This time, the two Pseudo-Saints were both injured. They finally lost all hope and forcefully brought up Genuine energy. In an instant, they turned into two streaks of mist and swept everyone away.
The cold wind in the air was like frost, and the valley gradually regained its tranquility. However, the entire valley had been destroyed, and it was a tragic scene.
Xiao Chen withdrew his Di Gu Sword, but a pale expression flashed across his face. However, he quickly recovered. He then looked at Shui Hanyan and said, “This place is not suitable for us to stay for long. If they were to arrive at an even more powerful person, I would be unable to deal with them at that time.”
Shui Hanyan looked at him with her eyebrows slightly knitted. At this moment, she was still thinking about the scene just now. The murderous aura on his body was most likely devoured by the fierce sword, but he probably hadn’t noticed it for a long time. Otherwise, how could an ordinary person have such a heavy murderous aura?
But right now, they had to leave this place as soon as possible. The two of them did not hesitate any longer. After escaping for hundreds of miles, they stopped. Shui Hanyan’s palm condensed and entered his body. He frowned and asked, “How are you?”
“Nothing …”
Xiao Chen slowed down his breathing. In fact, how could he not sense it? Every time he used Di Gu, the murderous aura in his heart would increase by another point.
Shui Hanyan frowned as she looked at him. Seeing the expression on his face, she also noticed something and said, “Do you know that your sword just now contained a vicious sword Qi. If this continues, it will probably make you more and more bloodthirsty. In the end, your heart will go crazy and fall into the Devil Sea. You will never be able to recover …”
After listening to her, Xiao Chen turned around and looked at her calmly. “Then do you know what this sword is called?”
“What … is this sword called?”
Shui Hanyan also stared at him with a frown. She really couldn’t imagine who could forge such a powerful sword in the world today. Even the rumor had it that a Sword Saint with a cultivation that had already reached the Saint realm would be unable to forge such a sword, right?
