Chapter 1218: Venomous Snake Hissing (1/2)

Why did Xiao Chen not head in the direction of the exit? There were too many Demon mixed-blood cultivators quietly watching in that direction.

With his trio’s current state, if those Demon mixed-bloods became greedy, heading that way would just be a trap. So, he could only head deeper into the Human-Demon Paradise.

“This is the moment I’ve been waiting for! Die!”

However, just at this moment, the mysterious red-clad person, who had been quietly waiting for a chance, landed on the ground, taking action without any warning when he saw that Xiao Chen had used his final trump card.

This person’s figure turned into a red fluid that continuously elongated into a fine red thread of light flying quickly towards Xiao Chen’s chest.

“How fast!”

The expression of Xiao Chen, who was carrying both Dugu Ao and Mu Xiyan, changed drastically. Shock flashed in his heart as he quickly tried to think of a way to deal with this.

However, he helplessly discovered that given his current state, carrying one person in each arm, he could not dodge this red line shooting towards him.

This person was like the most sinister venomous snake in the world. It hid in the darkness and waited for its prey to expose an opening before immediately making a move, killing in one strike.

d.a.m.n it. Will I still fail to escape death in the end?

Xiao Chen, who did not have any trump cards left, felt despair when he saw that strange and mysterious Martial Technique.

“Coincidentally, I was also waiting for this moment. He won’t be dying in your hands.”

Just as that red line was about to pierce through Xiao Chen’s chest and suck away his blood, another figure suddenly appeared.

This person seemed to have waited for a long time as well. Two different colors of light—white and black—intertwined in the air, forming a youth with a faint smile on his face and a sword on his back.

In the time it took for a spark to fly, the young swordsman withdrew his smile and coldly made his move, quickly drawing the sword on his back.

“Xiu!”

The sword light appeared dazzling, giving off a startling sword intent. The young swordsman grasped his sword with both hands, holding it across his chest, using the sword to block that strange red line.

“Bang!” It sounded like something struck flagstone.

The red line kept piling up and rematerialized a figure, which shrieked in pain as he bounced back.

The red-clad person held his head. Then, he glared at the newcomer in rage because his sure-kill attack was blocked. He shouted, “Chu Chaoyun! How dare you spoil my move!”

Still feeling fear from what just happened, Xiao Chen showed shock on his face. This was truly surprising. He had not been surprised at three Primes sending people to cause trouble; he just had not expected them to send so many.

As for Chu Chaoyun’s appearance, Xiao Chen never even considered this possibility. No matter how hard Xiao Chen thought, it would never have occurred to him that this person might turn up.

With one glance, it was clear that the mysterious red-clad man was a powerful member of the Deep Abyss Demonic World’s Demon Races. It was also within expectation for the experts of the Deep Abyss Demonic World to appear here.

Back then, the Azure Emperor had beaten back the eighteen Demon Monarchs with just himself and his saber, even injuring the Dark Church’s Church Master.

The Azure Emperor had led the troops of the Dragon’s Gate in and out of the Deep Abyss Demonic World, killing several Demon experts, unrivaled in his era.

It would be strange if the other party did not fear such a person and send people to prevent Xiao Chen from becoming the second Azure Emperor.

However, the appearance of Chu Chaoyun—both friend and enemy—a person that seemed unfathomable was utterly unexpected.

Why did Chu Chaoyun turn up here and even help Xiao Chen by blocking this sure-kill strike?

The situation did not permit Xiao Chen time to think. The many half-step Martial Emperors knocked back by the Solar Plume Feather already caught their breaths and were regrouping to charge over.

Xiao Chen pushed off the ground, and a fierce, murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Then, he carried Mu Xiyan and Dugu Ao into the depths of the Human-Demon Paradise.

“After him!”

Four of the six half-step Martial Emperors from the Three Holy Lands had died, an extremely heavy loss.

The remaining two roared furiously and led the survivors in pursuit of the fleeing Xiao Chen.

Chu Chaoyun, who was dealing with the red-clad Blood Demon, looked over and spewed out a large amount of golden Heavenly Flame from his eyes, blocking the path of the half-step Martial Emperors.

The golden flame even burned s.p.a.ce the moment it appeared; it was like a ravenous beast opening its mouth and swallowing up s.p.a.ce, looking very horrifying.

“A Heavenly Flame!”

This startled the chasing half-step Martial Emperors into a rapid retreat. However, when they moved back halfway, they realized that something was off, and they reacted quickly. “That’s not right. This is not the complete Heavenly Flame.

Indeed, it was not the complete Heavenly Flame. This was because there was no Origin Flame. Although this Heavenly Flame was mighty, it was just form without substance.

As long as these half-step Martial Emperors used their Law Energy to protect their bodies, they would be able to charge across this horrifying Heavenly Flame. Furthermore, their losses would not be in vain. This was the best time to pursue and attack Xiao Chen and Dugu Ao.

This group of people glared at Chu Chaoyun, the murderous intent in their eyes inevitably showing. The flames of rage blazed in their hearts. However, when they saw the person Chu Chaoyun was confronting, the remaining eight half-step Martial Emperors could not help changing their expressions at the same time.
