Talisman Emperor
Chapter 647 The Great Claw That Covers the Sky
"Fuck! You really dare kick my ass! Chen Xi, you are dead! No one has kicked my ass since I was a kid! ”Long Zhenbei roared furiously as he flashed swiftly through the gap like a kite whose rope was cut off. However, when he accidentally turned around to look back, he saw a wisp of black shadow carrying an extremely faint and cold sword light before his eyes.
To his surprise, the target of the black shadow was Chen Xi who had already retreated explosively to the side!
"Hmm? An Assassin? Sudden attack? So ... Chen Xi saved me? ”When Long Zhenbei reacted to what happened, he was already standing on the other side of the crack.
After he realized all this, his expression instantly darkened as his brows tightly intertwined. He felt embarrassed and worried for Chen Xi, and he actually stared blankly when confused as to what to say.
"What! Someone launched a surprise attack on Chen Xi? ”A Wei who was waiting on the other side of the crack had long since exclaimed in shock, and her beautiful appearance could not help but reveal an angry expression.
"Someone actually launched a surprise attack, and the strength of the attacker might be very formidable." Long Zhenbei's expression had already become very serious, and he told the scene he saw earlier in detail to An Wei.
"Damn it! Exactly who would dare to make a move against someone from our Nine Radiance Sword Sect !? ”Even with An Wei's indifferent disposition, the boundless fury could not help but be aroused within her at this moment, she said, and her beautiful brows intertwined into one tightly as she looked on. with killing intent.
"Chen Xi saved my life right now. If something happens to her, then I will take tenfold revenge for her. No matter who it is, I will exterminate their entire family! "Leng Zhenbei gritted his teeth, causing his voice to seem to have been squeezed from the gap between his teeth, and it was ice-cold, bone-chilling, and filled with boundless monstrous killing intent.
He understood that if not for Chen Xi kicking him early, he would have actually suffered a disaster earlier!
The reason is very simple. Even if the target of the surprise attack was not him, such an unexpected event would definitely let him off guard, and while in between the gaps, it was not, it was very likely that he would be crushed to death by the power emitted by the circulation from the stars.
"We can only do that for now." After he calmed down, An Wei could not hold a deep breath and felt worried for Chen Xi's fate. He had never imagined that Chen Xi would actually suffer an accident before they even entered the Darkness Parasol Abyss, and this was simply an extremely heavy blow to their group.
"Let's go. Young Brother Chen Xi is a lucky person, and he probably won't die this early. Let's head to the Darkness Parasol Abyss first. As long as he's alive, we should have a chance to meet him again. "Long Zhenbei patted An Wei on the shoulder to show his consolation. From this moment onwards, Chen Xi was a small or insignificant figure in his heart again, and Chen Xi was a worthy friend for him to entrust his life with.
If Chen Xi died, he would exterminate all those who had offended Chen Xi without leaving a single person alive!
This was a kind of promise, and although he did not say it out loud, it was already stamped in his heart.
…
“You failed?” Qiu Jun of the Semi Nether Demon Sect was surprised, “That was very rare to come by. If this news were to spread, Chen Xi would probably be famous for this. "
He had a skinny appearance that could only be considered ordinary. However, he looked like a mountain that was impossible to move, sturdy, alone, and towering. Pure demon qi strands fluttered around him, causing him to carry a mysterious aura.
The masked assassin stood silently in front of him like a shadow, and the killer's pitch-black mask and evil purple eyes caused others to cringe in their hearts.
Qiu Jun knew this masked killer very well. No one knows the real name of this person, but he has a very famous nickname – Shroud.
The shroud symbolizes strangeness, uncertainty, and elusive, just like his style as a murderer. He came and went without a trace while walking in the darkness, and he killed each target with a single strike and never failed.
Among all the Nether Transformation Realm cultivators throughout Dark Reverie, Shroud's killing technique could rank in the top 10, and he was a world-renowned top expert.
But even though Shroud is said to walk in the darkness, she is not bloodthirsty and cruel. On the contrary, in addition to his killing target, he practically never took action against others. Even if one humiliated and cursed him, it would not draw the slightest killing intent from him.
In other words, the Shroud is a harmless person while he is not carrying out his duties, and he will not cause any trouble at all for anyone.
Precisely because of this then a person like this would seem to be very frightening.
However, even Qiu Jun was greatly shocked when Shroud decided to make a move against Chen Xi. After all, he had not instructed the Shroud at all to do this.
What was even more shocking to Qiu Jun was that Shroud's attack had completely failed!
His first reaction when he got this news was to feel that it was impossible! Even if he had already seen the Shroud with his own two eyes by now, he was still a little unwilling to believe it.
How could a little man from an ordinary dynasty in a small world, a Seed Disciple who had just joined the Nine Swords Sword Sect for less than half a year possibly be able to create the Shroud, the Great Shroud, a world-famous top assassin from time immemorial, failed?
Shroud's reaction proved that this news was true!
Qiu Jun could not help but pursed his lips and asked. "Exactly why did you decide to make a move against Chen Xi earlier? Could you notice something? "
"Intuition." The shroud appreciated his words like gold, and he only said a word.
"Intuition?" Qiu Jun was stunned. He never imagined that the Shroud would actually give him such an answer, and it exceeded all his expectations.
Even to the point that he slightly anticipated that it was because Shroud knew that Chen Xi was the one he wanted to deal with, so Shroud wanted to help him and take the initiative to attack.
No matter how he rounded his brain, that fellow Chen Xi would probably not be able to know that the Shroud would move against him because of this, right? Qiu Jun could not help but enjoy the train of thought.
"He'll interfere with our goals." Shroud's voice was ice-cold and indifferent, and it did not contain the slightest feeling.
“Disturbing our destination?” Disciple Qiu Jun shriveled, and he immediately understood what the Shroud meant. "You're saying that your intuition is telling you that it's going to affect what we want to do?"
The Shroud nodded.
Qiu Jun instantly fell silent as he pondered. He knew that there were many mysterious and unexpected things about the Shroud, and that was one of the reasons why the Shroud never failed.
Although what Shroud said seemed absurd, he gradually began to believe it for unknown reasons.
After a long time, Qiu Jun suddenly started laughing as his brows relaxed, and he looked very very happy as he said, "This is also good. I was worried about how to find him after we entered the Darkness Parasol Abyss. Since it is like this, I can take this opportunity to catch it! "
"For Terminus Dao Insights?" Ask the Shroud suddenly. He always seemed very reserved and appreciated his words like gold, yet at this moment, he took the initiative to ask. Clearly, he did not care about everything in his heart.
"Frightly so." Qiu Jun glanced at Shroud. He knew that such a matter was impossible to hide because the Shroud came from the Nether Spring Devil Sect just like him.
But the only difference was that the Shroud was an existence that only obeyed the orders of the Sect Master. He was like a secret trump card, and even many sect elders mostly did not know that the Shroud was actually a disciple of their sect.
"He's so tough." Shroud was silent for a long time before saying a few words, and it seemed like it was very sudden.
"You were in the shadows when I came out in the open. Will we be able to succeed if we join forces against him? ”Qiu Jun was stunned and felt a slight strangeness in his heart as the abnormal reaction of Shroud's reaction made him start taking Chen Xi seriously.
"Yes." Yeah." The shroud nodded.
"Alright, I just hope that the boy doesn't get lost in the sea of clouds and becomes trapped to death. That would be unfortunate. "Qiu Jun sighed in relief as he was really worried that he would get a negative answer from the Shroud.
After that, he turned around and said to the Shroud, "Come, he who strikes first in the wind, and who attacks the last suffers misfortune. The others may have already arrived at the Darkness Parasol Abyss by now … "
Swooshes!
Once he finished speaking, the Shroud had turned into a shadow that disappeared completely, and it was impossible to see the Shroud again.
But Qiu Jun knew that the Shroud was nearby, and then he could not help but shake his head and smile endlessly. He felt that the life of a murderer like the Shroud was really boring, and he wondered what use the Shroud had to walk in darkness and could not see the light.
…
In a sea of infinite clouds.
The stars circulate as the sun and moon rise and fall, and it creates wave after wave of extremely frightening temporal tides that are swept away. A storm of raging flames and swift ice filled the entire environment, while several streams of chaotic energy were practically thousands of times fiercer that the ferocious wings high above in the sky were flowing. Nether Transformation Realm experts would be depleted and trapped to death within this boundless sea of clouds.
Yet it was in this extremely dangerous environment that Chen Xi flickered repeatedly like a bullet, and he moved forward while searching for a safe path that might exist.
Fortunately, the sapling of the Dark Divine Parasol Tree was already rooted in his Black Hole World, and the Eternal Energy emitted by him endlessly gave him a True Essence, making him not have to worry that his strength would run out.
Otherwise, if one were to constantly wander within the sea of clouds like him, then that person would sooner or later die of exhaustion.
Wait, even though I have moved forward along a straight line, this place is filled with rotating stars, sun and moon rising and falling, and thick fog. I can't confirm my location at all, and if this goes on, I probably won't be able to find a safe path at all. Suddenly, Chen Xi stopped moving and looked at her surroundings from afar, and her brows could not help but knit tightly.
He had never imagined that this sea of clouds would actually be so vast, and it was just like a natural large-scale Illusion Formation. Even if he was skilled in the art of deduction, he simply could not find the slightest chance of escape.
No wonder the Darkness Parasol Abyss has been referred to as a place of great danger since ancient times. Only this sea of clouds might be able to annihilate most cultivators. Chen Xi muttered and felt the specialty of the Darkness Parasol Abyss even deeper.
It's thundering!
Right at this moment, from the enormous star in front, the claws of the beast covered in red-colored scales suddenly covered the sky and earth as it clawed fiercely towards Chen Xi.
The claws of this beast had four fingers, and each finger was like a huge pillar that could lift the sky. They were covered layer upon layer of scales that were as cold as metal, and they soared with a myriad of rays of light. The power of this claw seemed like a god had extended his hand, and it caused him to awaken a feeling of helplessness as if he was unable to escape.
Under the might of the claws of this ferocious beast covered in red-red scales, surging temporal waves spread to the side, and the entire 500 km long area froze under this terrifying aura.
Chen Xi could faintly see that a monster of unknown size was behind the claws of a red-scaled beast, and stuck out its head which was like a huge mountain from above one of the stars!
