Chapter 213: Engrossed in an Illusion

However, the more he dodged, the more sabers that flew at him from the sky. In the end, it became extremely taxing. There were various wounds appearing on his body—blood dripped down continuously.

“How do I defend here? Liu Suifeng! Elder Sister Ruyue! Do you hear me?” Xiao Chen shouted anxiously. However, aside from the sounds of the sabers flas.h.i.+ng by, there was no sound in this s.p.a.ce.

Quickly! Quickly! Find your saber! Find your saber! That anxious voice rang out in Xiao Chen’s mind again. Go full speed ahead! Rus.h.!.+ Rus.h.!.+ Rus.h.!.+

Xiao Chen looked around the surroundings. It was saber light after saber light, where were the other sabers? He attempted a few times but the Universe Ring would not open. His saber was simply not here.

d.a.m.n it! What is this place? Xiao Chen roared loudly. No more hiding! He circulated the Dragon and Tiger Body Sculpting Art and the bones in his body gave off ‘pi li pa la’ sounds. The Great Dragon Tiger Fist punched out continuously.

The saber lights which kept flying at him were crushed by 6,000 kilograms of force. They shattered and turned into sparks, disappearing into the boundless darkness.

However, the saber lights were endless; they were uncountable, overwhelming. No matter how many were crushed, there would still be thousands of saber lights flying at him.

Back at the dueling grounds of Qingyun Peak, the ground was trembling. Xiao Chen was seated on the ground, frowning tightly, his forehead filled with sweat. His eyes were tightly shut, and he revealed a pained expression, as though he was having a nightmare.

Liu Ruyue’s expression turned heavy. She muttered, “Was I too anxious? Ye Chen, can you do it? Find your saber and you can come out. You can definitely do it!”

Her fingers were intertwined, her hands clasped tightly. Unknowingly, her hands had turned purple, but she could not feel it. It was clear she was extremely anxious.

“Sis! What happened?!” The activity in the dueling ground was too great. When Liu Suifeng—who was chased out by Xiao Bai—saw the situation, he quickly rushed back.

Xiao Bai, who was chasing after Liu Suifeng, saw the pained expression on Xiao Chen’s face. It was as though it could sense the anxiousness in Xiao Chen’s heart. Its drunken state disappeared immediately.

It growled softly and turned into a white phantom as it leaped towards Xiao Chen. However, just as it leaped over, the 500 ancient treasured sabers surrounding gave off a horrifying shockwave, causing Xiao Bai to fly back. It was thrown far away and landed heavily.

“Ao!”

Suddenly, a fierce expression was revealed on Xiao Bai’s face. Its black eyes turned bloodshot. It roared loudly and a surging aura erupted out from its tiny body.

Liu Ruyue pushed her feet off the ground and moved instantly. She appeared behind Xiao Bai and chopped at its neck with her hand, causing it to faint before it went berserk.

“Rumble…!”

A squall blew in the wide dueling grounds. The bright s.p.a.ce turned dark. The trembling of the ground turned even more intense. They were all making a lot of noise as they flickered non-stop; the clanging sound reverberated continuously in the dueling hall.

Liu Suifeng did not understand what was going on. He became anxious as he said, “Sis, what exactly is going on? What’s happening?”

Liu Ruyue carried the unconscious Xiao Bai into her embrace and said, “I used these 500 sabers as well as the Demonic Crystal Stones under the dueling ground to turn the ancient Saber Intent into a miniature Ancient Absolute Saber Formation.”

Liu Suifeng was startled and turned pale, “Ancient Absolute Saber Formation! Ye Chen is in the center of the formation! Will there be any problems?!”

Liu Ruyue’s charming face revealed a calm expression, “It is much weaker when compared to the real Ancient Absolute Saber Formation. It is impossible to forcefully enter the state of Listening to the Sword and Communicating With It without taking some risks.”

“Still, you should have told him about it first. He has no way to make any mental preparations at all. I’m afraid that he will not be able to get out.”

Liu Ruyue said pensively, “There are some things that would be rendered useless if you know in advance. As long as he can find his own saber, the Ancient Absolute Saber Formation will collapse on its own.

“At that point in time, maybe he would be able to forcibly comprehend the first state—Listening to the Sword!”

Countless saber lights fired at Xiao Chen in the pitch-dark s.p.a.ce. Xiao Chen merged the tiger and dragon into his body, and he relied on his extremely strong physical body to smash apart the saber lights flying at him.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The explosion sounds rang continuously, reverberating in this boundless darkness. Although Xiao Chen would be fine for now, he was getting more and more anxious. No matter how strong he was, there would still be a moment that he ran dry on energy.

At that time, when thousands of sabers pierced through his heart, he would have no way of staying alive.

Faster! Faster! Draw your saber! Draw your saber!

The anxious voice rang out once again, lingering in Xiao Chen’s ears. b.a.s.t.a.r.d! You only know how to call out. My hands are empty, where is the saber to draw?

“The Universe Ring is not reacting. Even if you call ten thousand times, the saber will not show up.” Xiao Chen could not help but curse out. However, no one answered his questions. The anxious voice kept calling out continuously like it did before.

Calm down… Calm down… Xiao Chen did his best to calm his emotions down. In this life-and-death situation, his mind started to turn clear.

Ever since he had entered into this world, it felt like he had been in an anxious state. This had disrupted his normal thought process. Xiao Chen was not normally so irritable.

There could only be one reason—the voice calling out continuously in his heart. That anxious voice calling out non-stop was making Xiao Chen extremely anxious, disrupting his thought process.

There was only one way to resolve this dangerous situation and leave this place. That was to find out where the voice was coming from and drawing the saber that it was talking about.
