Chapter 1153: Fighting over the Blood Cocoon (1/2)

Even the Lunar Palace’s Palace Master did not think much of Xiao Chen’s chances. At this moment, for the sake of avoiding becoming a meteor, he ran around Black Water Island crazily with Yue Bingyun.

The mob of quasi-Emperors chasing after the two did not pause for even a moment. The two used everything they had and all sorts of tricks. Despite that, they could not shake off the quasi-Emperors on their tail.

Being able to condense the Heart of an Emperor was a great temptation to quasi-Emperors. No matter what, they would not give up on it.

Xiao Chen fled miserably, acc.u.mulating many wounds on his body. If there were only about ten people, he could deal with them himself. However, there were hundreds of quasi-Emperors, and some were even Consummation quasi-Emperors. He simply had no way to handle them.

“Never mind, I give up.”

Xiao Chen, who was flying quickly, suddenly stopped.

Yue Bingyun found his decision strange and asked, “Are you sure? If you hang on, I have a trump card that can help us shake off this group of troublesome people.”

Xiao Chen smiled and said, “Thank you for your kind intentions. I have my trump cards too. However, this thing cannot be monopolized. Otherwise, we would fall into Fei Lengyi’s trap.”

He grabbed the mysterious blood coc.o.o.n from Yue Bingyun’s hands, then turned around and raised it high. “If anyone attacks, I will directly destroy it!”

The moment Xiao Chen said that, the mob of quasi-Emperors frantically pursuing them with surging auras immediately and anxiously stopped.

The several hundred quasi-Emperors eyed Xiao Chen ferociously, stirring up winds and clouds endlessly. The pressure was suffocatingly heavy.

“Little Friend, there is no need to be so anxious. If you hand over the blood coc.o.o.n formed by the splinters of the Heavenly Cloud Jadeite Sword, we will naturally not make things difficult for you.”

The one that spoke was a Consummation quasi-Emperor. Xiao Chen had some impression of him. This person was called Jin Liangqi. He had seen Jin Liangqi make his move at the testing stele, lighting up nine of the ten purple gems on the sixth row. Among Consummation quasi-Emperors, this person’s strength stood near the peak.

Xiao Chen admitted that he was not as strong as Jin Liangqi, but he did not show any fear at all. His lips curled up in a smile as he asked, “Hand it over? To you? So you can take it away?”

That would be for the best, Jin Liangqi thought to himself. He was just about to say yes, but he suddenly discovered several hostile gazes directed at him.

He cursed in his heart and smiled awkwardly. “Naturally not. It would only be fair to split it with everyone. Otherwise, no matter who obtained it, there would be a fierce battle among us, and we might end up letting someone else benefit.”

Xiao Chen looked at the mysterious blood coc.o.o.n and then at the faces of all the quasi-Emperors present. Even though he faced so many quasi-Emperors, he did not cower.

“Very good. Senior Jin said exactly what I wanted to say. No one can monopolize the secret of the Life and Death Art. If no one has a problem with it, I can choose to open this blood coc.o.o.n now and see if the Life and Death Art is inside.”

The entire place fell silent. Clearly, some still had misgivings. After all, the blood coc.o.o.n was in Xiao Chen’s hands. Even if the Life and Death Art was in it, he would have the final say on whether to share it or not.

Xiao Chen smiled faintly and asked, “What’s wrong? Afraid that I will continue to run after obtaining the Life and Death Art? If I really wanted to monopolize it, I would not have stopped. That is all I have to say. Whether you are willing or not, I will cut it open now.”

He could not be bothered with all these suspicious old men who were thinking all sorts of nonsense.

Using his palm as a saber, he directly hacked down without giving these people a chance to object. The saber soul in his sea of consciousness spread throughout his body and leaked out a horrifying saber intent.

His hair and clothes fluttered in the absence of any wind, producing a melodious tinkling. The boundless saber intent sounded like a zither as it extended in all directions.

With the display of this slight skill, Xiao Chen instantly stunned a lot of quasi-Emperors. A strange light flashed in everyone’s eyes. This white-robed bladesman truly possessed extraordinary abilities to be able to persist for so long when chased by so many quasi-Emperors.

“Pu ci!”

A saber light flashed. Xiao Chen’s hand saber neatly sliced open the mysterious blood coc.o.o.n. A scarlet light burst out immediately, looking like blood spilling out into the air. The blood coc.o.o.n slowly melted, thickening this scarlet light and turning it into a blood mist.

A floating piece of paper appeared on Xiao Chen’s palm. Surprisingly, the blood coc.o.o.n was not empty, but neither did it contain the Life and Death Art—just an old piece of paper that looked like a map.

“Brat! Hand over the map!”

“Quickly, or you can forget about leaving here alive.”

The surrounding quasi-Emperors did not care whether this piece of paper had anything to do with the Life and Death Art. The moment it appeared, they immediately shouted demands.

Ignoring them, Xiao Chen opened the map and glanced at it. After memorizing it, he promptly tossed it away.

“Let’s go!”

Not caring about this mob of quasi-Emperors, Xiao Chen called out to Yue Bingyun and left with her right away.

Seeing the piece of paper drift towards them, the excited quasi-Emperors calmed down and became more restrained, instead. If anyone dared to attack, the sheet might end up destroyed immediately in the chaos.

Jin Liangqi took a quick look. He did not make a move; like Xiao Chen, he only glanced at it to commit the contents to memory before leaving quietly.

At the level of quasi-Emperors, almost everyone possessed the ability to remember things perfectly after just one glance.
