Talisman Emperor
Chapter 2138 Fear
Chen Xi's calm and indifferent face showed no signs of relaxing as she watched the outline of the encampment gradually disappear in her vision.
Instead, his brows had united even tighter while his slightly pale and handsome face actually showed signs of growing paler.
It seemed like he was suffering from some kind of pain within him.
Pu's!
By the time he arrived at the encampment, Chen Xi actually could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood while his entire body trembled.
Especially his vital energy, which seemed to be stable yet vaguely revealed dangerous signs that almost fell into chaos.
Chen Xi took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the surging and violent energy within her, and she was just about to blink towards her palace when she seemed to have noticed something, she said, and his gaze suddenly shot to the side.
Swish!
At almost the same time, two figures appeared out of thin air, and it was the figure of a man and a woman. Surprisingly, it was Leng Xinghun and Dao Wushuang!
Leng Xinghun's expression was cold and indifferent as before, but his gaze was a little strange as he looked at Chen Xi. It seemed to carry shock, mercy, and a hint of killing intent.
Dao Wushuang grinned beside him while her clear eyes measured Chen Xi curiously. He seemed to be trying to confirm something.
Chen Xi's eyes narrowed. He had not expected that he would face this old enemy, Leng Xinghun, at a time like this!
No, he should be called ‘Direconstructed’.
On his way to participate in the Battle of the Dao Protector, Eldest Brother Wu Xuechan, had told him that Leng Xinghun had indeed died. The current Leng Xinghun was simply an existence that the Sovereign Sect Master had used a secret technique to recreate, and he only had all the memories Leng Xinghun had before his death.
Clearly, Leng Xinghun and Dao Wushuang had arrived at the camp a long time ago, and that was even to the extent that they had clearly witnessed the battle from before.
Now, since they had suddenly appeared before him, then they had clearly come with ill intentions!
Leng Xinghun suddenly clapped and praised. “Learnest. In fact I never expected that not only could you go easily from the combined attacks of the 4 peak Divine Children, you even seized the opportunity to kill two of them. Such a feat in battle was enough to be considered unrivalled throughout the world. “
An enemy's praise can never be considered a true compliment because it can be a scorn.
Chen Xi only glanced at Leng Xinghun before she said indifferently. “The opportunity you have achieved is not bad. This was really my weakest moment. Maybe you really have a chance to kill me if you attack right now. “
Divine light surged in Leng Xinghun's eyes. He looked surprised as well as itching to try it as well. However, he could not help but frown. “Are you trying to trick me?”
Chen Xi shrugged and said, “This is the only chance you will have. You can feel free to try whether it is true or not. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xi actually did not pay attention to Leng Xinghun and Dao Wushuang. He only walked straight towards the encampment while his expression never changed from the start.
Even until he could not help but cough loudly a few times when he had just set foot into the camp, and there was even a strand of blood flowing out from the corner of his mouth.
Leng Xinghun's eyes flickered with divine light while his heart surged nonstop with killing intent. He knew that this was the best chance he had to kill Chen Xi until now, and no one knew when he would get an opportunity like this if he let it pass him by.
But….
Is this person really in his weakest state?
Leng Xinghun was unsure.
A long time ago at the Forgotten Grounds of Chaos, he once suffered a miserable death at the hands of Chen Xi because he underestimated Chen Xi. So, from the moment he became ‘Direconstructed’, he treated Chen Xi as his greatest enemy throughout his life, and he did not dare to underestimate Chen Xi in the slightest.
Coupled with the scene he had just witnessed where Chen Xi had killed two peak Divine Children and forced the other two to flee, Leng Xinghun was even more convinced that his caution was not wrong because the combat power Chen Xi possessed was too heaven-defying.
However, Chen Xi was clearly seen to be in a weakened and severely injured state, and it was the best chance to kill Chen Xi, so Leng Xinghun was hesitant whether he should give it a try!
Leng Xinghun was very conflicted in his heart. When it came time to attack Chen Xi, he suddenly realized that he was actually still not fully confident even when facing Chen Xi who seemed to be extremely weak!
Wh why?
Could it be that the shadow of fear and terror towards Chen Xi has been left in the depths of my heart?
All of this takes time to explain but actually happens in an instant. All of this simultaneously surged into Leng Xinghun's heart, and it caused his cold and emotionless face to completely begin to change indefinitely.
“We will miss this opportunity if we keep not attacking!” Dao Wushuang's brows were put together as she spoke. He seemed to be perplexed by Leng Xinghun's current indecision since he had never seen him act like this in the past.
“ME...” Leng Xinghun looked at Chen Xi who was moving further and further away. The blood vessels on his forehead bulged out while a conflicted expression appeared on his face.
“Forget! Since you do not intend to attack and take revenge on yourself, then I will handle it for you. ” When she spoke up to this point, her charming and beautiful face really looked divine and dignified, and his smooth and slender fingertips had a very thick and soaring strand of killing intent coiling around him.
“Do not!” Leng Xinghun suddenly shouted loudly like a restless beast. His eyes were red as he grabbed Dao Wushuang's shoulder, and his fingers were like iron tongs that pierced deep into his shoulder.
Leng Xinghun roared. “I'm afraid of him? I'm afraid of him !? I'm saving your life! Do you think you can kill him just by attacking there? Do you know who he is? He's Chen Xi! A dangerous existence that you have never really understood! Did you know whether he took an action or not before you dared to accuse him? ”
At this moment, he looked as if he had gone to the map, and the conflict of thoughts in his heart actually surged out from within him.
Dao Wushuang had never seen Leng Xinghun lose his composure like this. His clear pupils could not help but constrict, yet he still remained unconvinced. “I.... can't even try it?”
Leng Xinghun seemed to have realized that he had lost his composure. He quickly took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the strong emotions within him as he shook his head. “There are some things in this word that you can't try, like death.”
Meanwhile, Chen Xi was on the verge of disappearing from their field of vision when she suddenly turned around and spoke indifferently. “You're right. No matter how weak I am, I am not someone you two can kill. However, this is truly the best chance to kill me, and you won't have a chance like this again in the future. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xi turned around and continued forward.
These words caused Leng Xinghun's expression to change indefinitely again. He nearly gnashed his teeth yet forcefully refrained from attacking in the end.
He once died, and he did not want to risk his life again!
“Ha! So arrogant! ” Dao Wushuang was furious at Chen Xi's words. His figure instantly flashed through space towards Chen Xi.
He was so fast even Leng Xinghun had not been in time to stop him.
However, he had just traveled halfway when he suddenly stopped. He stared fixedly at Chen Xi who was walking away into the distance while an extremely abundant killing intent covered his clear eyes.
If it was any other ordinary person, then just this strand of killing intent was enough to take that person's life. However, Chen Xi did not seem to notice it at all, and she did not even turn around as she continued forward.
Swooshes!
Dao Wushuang suddenly gritted her teeth while she lightly flicked the tip of her slender figure. A light green leaf emerged from thin air, and then appeared above Chen Xi before drifting towards him.
This light green leaf was completely weightless, had clear veins all over its body, yet it was solidified from the purest form of the Order of the Heaven Dao!
However, it disappeared without a sound when it was about to descend onto Chen Xi's back. It seemed like the snow was melting in the water, and it left no trace or caused any impact sounds.
This caused Dao Wushuang's clear eyes to narrow, and then she raised her fingertips once again with the intention to try it again.
“Enough! Do you really want to die !? ” Leng Xinghun suddenly appeared beside him and grabbed his arm, stopping him from launching another attack.
“Hmph!” Dao Wushuang stared coldly at Leng Xinghun. “If I can't kill him myself, we can definitely kill him if we join!”
How naive. Leng Xinghun said these words lightly as he gazed into the distance. At the end of his gaze, Chen Xi's figure had vanished within the palace.
“Naif? How ridiculous! It's all because you're too scared. Maybe it's because you died in his hands that made you so afraid of him. ” Dao Wushuang shook her head with a hint of disappointment, then she turned around and left on her own. “Newly now I realize that your so-called prudence is only an excuse for your fear of him.”
A reason? Leng Xinghun's expression was ice-cold and gloomy while he felt extremely angry and agitated in his heart. Could it be that I am really constantly afraid of Chen Xi in the depths of my heart?
Nah!
Dao Wushuang had absolutely no idea how terrifying Chen Xi was! How can he understand my mind?
Leng Xinghun took a deep breath and muttered. “Even if this opportunity is lost, there is always another chance. But once our lives are gone, then that is the end of everything…. ”
…
Thumping!
As soon as he entered the palace, Chen Xi's entire body looked as if it had lost all support, and he slumped to the ground while strands of blood surged endlessly from between his lips.
His face was very pale and somewhat greenish.
Especially for vital energy. It's messed up like a herd of wild horses. It raged all over his body and was almost out of his control.
Chen Xi was panting rapidly while a wisp of ridicule appeared at the corner of her mouth. Leng Xinghun's? He really isn't worth mentioning!
A long time passed before Chen Xi crawled up and walked forward with great difficulty. He moved his figure to the Divine Pool of Chaos.
Chen Xi took a deep breath, threw away the distracting thoughts in her mind, and focused all her attention onto her body. His entire body was hidden soundlessly within the pool water and vanished from sight.
No one knew that an unexpected change had occurred in the Dao Calamity Sword during his battle with the four peak Divine Children, and it had almost caused him to be killed on the spot.
No one knew that it was actually that unexpected event that allowed Chen Xi who was on the verge of falling into a dangerous situation to counterattack and kill two of his enemies at once while the other two feared.
In the end, everything was caused by an unexpected change in the Dao Calamity Sword!
If he were to use the Talisman Armament in battle, even if he could not defeat them in a short period of time, a sudden and unexpected change of situation would not occur at all….
