Talisman Emperor
Chapter 2171 The Devastating Defeat
His Dao Heart had fallen into chaos.
When he saw Chen Xi fighting and defeating many peak Divine Children alone on the first battlefield, the Slaughter Plateau, Shi Chuge knew that his Dao Heart had run into trouble.
For the first time in her entire life, she experienced what it felt like to feel defeated and frustrated. Because he was very clearly aware that he was completely unable to face that Divine Child Peak alone.
Waking up from an inherent understanding is sometimes the most painful thing in life.
When Shi Chuge clearly recognized the distance between himself and Chen Xi, he fell silent, and he was frustrated and dazed for a very long time. It seemed like he had lost his motivation to continue his path towards Dao.
While almost all the experts of the Divine Dao Protective Clan had retreated from the battlefield, Shi Chuge had acted uncharacteristically and followed Chen Xi's footsteps towards the Sacred Ocean of Blood.
He can't tell why he's doing this. It seemed like he wanted to find something missing, and he could only find it from Chen Xi.
Unfortunately, there were no more signs of Chen Xi when he arrived.
At that moment, he was completely frustrated and lost.
He felt like heaven did not tolerate his existence anymore and the world ridiculed him, so he went against the world.
Everything had left him, yet he wouldn't agree to it, and he used everything he had to fight and kill without realizing exactly why he was doing all that.
After he exhausted the last drop of energy within his entire body and fell like a log into the Holy Ocean of Blood, a thread of exhaustion suddenly appeared in Shi Chuge's heart.
He hated such feelings, and he did not want to continue like that.
So, he stretched out his right hand from the ocean as if he wanted to take something, and then the river of Fate appeared within his field of vision.
He broke through and advanced.
Everything happened as smoothly as it should have.
As Shi Chuge stood up from within the ocean, his frustration, sense of defeat, and all the other negative emotions in his heart had been swept away.
He would become a Daolord who saw Destiny energy, and he found his lost Dao Heart!
He became steady, calm, calm, handsome, and imposing like before, but the aura of Fate he possessed told him that there was still a chain wrapped around his heart.
So, Shi Chuge decided to deal with the chain, and then he found Chen Xi.
…
Fortunately, I regained my Dao Heart. Shi Chuge looked calmly at Chen Xi and said, “So, the reason I came to look for you is very simple. I'm just looking for a battle. “
Chen Xi did not know what Shi Chuge had experienced, but Shi Chuge's gaze was calm, firm, and persistently allowed Chen Xi to immediately understand that this person would definitely disturb him endlessly if he did not agree.
Chen Xi could not help but frown because of this. He pondered for a moment before saying, “Everyone has his own path towards Dao, and there is no need to determine the winner between two people. The most difficult opponent to conquer in this world was usually himself. ”
Shi Chuge nodded. “I understand.”
Chen Xi stared at Shi Chuge for a long time before she said, “You are not.”
Shi Chuge frowned.
Chen Xi turned around and left.
He left in a natural way without the slightest hesitation. It seemed like he was saying what he was supposed to do, and he would handle what he needed to handle as well. So, just go the remaining ones to do.
Otherwise, why would he stay here?
It means too little to him.
Shi Chuge's brows were tightly intertwined. He stared at Chen Xi's figure who was moving away and in the end could not help but hold back.
Clangs!
Bloodsky who was tied to the side on his back had left his stand, and his crimson red tip pierced through space in a very simple manner.
Simple, clean, and advance without hesitation!
This was not the might of his Highgod Domain, but Shi Chuge's strongest abilities had been put together into this attack.
The space here was quiet, and the world seemed to remain the same. Nothing seems to have changed at all. Only that blood-red spear quickly appeared behind Chen Xi and pierced through him.
This attack was so shocking that it was enough to rule for centuries!
However, Shi Chuge was completely dumbfounded on the spot as he watched this scene, and there was a bitter expression at the corner of his mouth. “So, he has already reached a height that I cannot even see...”.
Swish!
Meanwhile, the figure of Chen Xi who had been pierced by the spear seemed to tremble before it suddenly disappeared. Only the tip of the blood-red spear was pierced in the sky, and it seemed to have been forgotten.
Clearly, it was only a shadow that Chen Xi had left behind.
It was this scene that made Shi Chuge finally realize that he had been completely defeated ever since he attacked.
His strongest attack only pierced through the shadows.
Was it a problem with his consciousness and his ability to lock onto his target?
No, it was because he did not realize that Chen Xi had long since left!
He could not even discern when Chen Xi had left, and this indeed proved that Shi Chuge had been defeated ever since he had attacked.
That's the gap between them.
At this moment, Shi Chuge finally realized the gap, but he was unable to determine exactly how wide the gap was….
He stood by the side of the ocean for a very long time before he let out a long sigh, and then he did not even take Bloodsky as he walked away aimlessly.
His gloomy figure seemed to be extremely lonely in a boundless world.
…
Massacre Area.
The Dao Protector's camp.
They're waiting.
From the moment they decided to help Chen Xi, they knew that they would be considered traitors by the Divine Dao Protector Clan.
Are they sorry?
They asked themselves the question, and the answer they received was very simple. They don't!
That was the answer their Dao Heart gave them. Cultivators aim to cultivate in a way that follows the intentions of the heart. How could they reach the Grand Dao if they went against their hearts?
However, they still could not help but sigh when they thought of the possibility of Chen Xi dying during the Battle of the Dao Protector.
Once Chen Xi died, then all their efforts would be almost meaningless, and it was impossible for one to not feel disappointed when one's efforts became meaningless.
“What do you want to do if Chen Xi does not return?” Xia Ruoyuan spoke suddenly. He had a cold and stern demeanor, but he seemed to be hesitating at this moment.
I don't know. Tang Xiao’xiao raised his clear and youthful face with both hands, and he spoke in a helpless tone.
How're you? Xia Ruoyuan glanced at Jin Yunsheng.
“ME...” Jin Yunsheng opened his mouth, then he gritted his teeth and spoke with determination. “I'll stay behind. After I advance to the Daolord Realm, I will head over and slaughter a large number of Dao Defiants to avenge Chen Xi, and then I will return to my clan. Let me see if the people who thought I was a traitor would dare to let go of all the pretenses with me and fight me openly! “
Xia Ruoyuan nodded. “It's not a bad idea.”
Jin Yunsheng chuckled, and then he could not help but ask. How're you?
Xia Ruoyuan did not hesitate with her answer. “More or less the same as you.”
Tang Xiao’xiao raised his head, then he looked at Xia Ruoyuan with slight disdain and said angrily, “Can you be a little different?”
Xia Ruoyuan was stunned. “Then what do you think I should do?”
Tang Xiaoxiao glared at him and pursed her lips before she said in a seemingly helpless tone. “Don't ask me. I'm already quite upset. I have had headaches since the Battle of the Dao Protector began. If I knew this would happen, I shouldn't be involved in any of this. “
Xia Ruoyuan said, “So you feel sorry?”
Tang Xiao’xiao instantly flared up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and he shouted. “Who is sorry? Since I, Tang Xiao’xiao, dared to flee to the Oracle Mountain alone all those years ago, I have never regretted anything! “
Xia Ruoyuan nodded. “That's great.”
Tang Xiao’xiao seemed to still be angry, and he spoke furiously. “You actually dare to mock me! Comehere! Let's fight!”
Bang out!
As he spoke, a deep blue sword that was even taller than his body emerged from the air before slashing towards Xia Ruoyuan.
Xia Ruoyuan was surprised by this scene, and she dodged quickly while saying angrily, “What are you going to do?”
Tang Xiao’xiao said lazily, “Against and let go!”
Xia Ruoyuan's eyelids twitched, and then she suddenly snorted coldly while her fighting intent surged explosively. He said coldly, “Oh, then I want to see how you do it.”
Jin Yunsheng became extremely anxious upon seeing this, and he hurriedly said, “Hei! Oi! You can talk about it well. Let's avoid ruining the relationship…. ”
“Shut!” Tang Xiao’xiao and Xia Ruoyuan chided in unison, then their gazes collided as their battle intent raged.
Jin Yunsheng immediately closed his mouth as he was very afraid of being affected by the battle. He had moved away long before it could even begin.
It's thundering!
Fighting erupted. Divine light surged while the surrounding environment became chaotic.
Both of them were filled with fighting intent and did not hold back at all. They only caused the heaven and earth to dim while chaos raged around him.
Jin Yunsheng sighed in his heart as he watched this scene. She very clearly realized that both Tang Xiao’xiao and Xia Ruoyuan were actually venting anxiety in their hearts.
Chen Xi still had not returned after such a long time, and they could not immediately return to the outside world. They were stuck between a rock and a hard place, so how could they not feel a little depressed?
Even Jin Yunsheng sometimes wished for nothing more than to ignore everything and kill his way to the base camp of the Dao Defiants.
10 Minutes later.
The battle is over.
Tang Xiao’xiao's face was covered in dirt and dust, and only his eyes were bright and carried a hint of satisfaction.
Clangs!
He threw his sword on the ground and sighed in satisfaction.
On the other hand, Xia Ruoyuan's hair was disheveled, and her clothes were in tatters, She was in a somewhat embarrassing state, but her expression became much calmer than before.
What are you all doing? A voice echoed.
Struggling.
Ventilatory.
Tang Xiao’xiao and Xia Ruoyuan spoke casually, and then their figures stiffened before their gazes shot in the same direction simultaneously. A tall figure stood there while staring at them with a puzzled expression.
Xi Chen!
The two stood up quickly while a wisp of happiness appeared on their faces. This guy actually came back alive! ”Daoist Same Chen Xi! You're finally back! ” Jin Yunsheng shouted loudly from afar, and it seemed like he was almost crying out of happiness. This instantly caused Tang Xiao’xiao and Xia Ruoyuan to feel disgust towards him. Totally disgraceful.
However, they have to admit that they are very happy and excited as well…. So, they felt it was inappropriate to laugh at Jin Yunsheng.
“I'm back.” Chen Xi nodded and revealed a slight smile at the corner of her mouth.
This was the first time a smile had appeared on his indifferent and emotionless face since he had started slaughtering his way through the spring water, and it was a clear, warm smile, and even a little charming.
Tang Xiao’xiao, Xia Ruoyuan, and Jin Yunsheng inevitably exchanged glances and smiled when they saw this.
At the same time, a shocking storm appeared outside the Springs of Sin….
