Chapter 219 Devil Gods Power (1/2)
Even the distant cultivators could feel the two newcomers' terrifying strength. Fearful of getting implicated, they once again ran far away.
Ye Wuxin chuckled. ”Lord Feng You is indeed strong enough to win the respect of those in the Six Realms, but what a pity, I'm determined to take this person with me!” he bellowed with a malicious glint in his eyes. He flicked his wide sleeves and lunged at Xiao Chen.
Bai Susu, Fengxi, and the rest hastily stepped forward to stop him but were all sent flying under his pressure. Ye Wuxin's cultivation had once again risen by another level. They were no match for him.
”I don't think you intend to use him as your furnace! You just want to replace him, don't you?”
The cloaked man flicked his sleeves with his icy demeanor and then turned into a black mist that arrived in front of Ye Wuxin in a flash. Raising his palm to stop the cloaked man's attack, Ye Wuxin sneered. ”Then let me ask you: what is your plan?”
The power outbreak from the two was enough to topple mountains and overturn seas. Moments later, the entire Zuoqiu family estate was reduced to ruins. The old and frail, as well as women and children, had all fled the estate under their Elders' arrangements.
The Zuoqiu family had never imagined that they would incur such a deadly disaster. This time, the loss that they took was unbelievably heavy.
The storm raged on. Various expressions crossed Bai Susu's face before she finally said, ”Now that he's here, looks like there's no other way about it.”
Xiao Chen turned his head and asked, ”What is it?”
With a deep frown, Bai Susu replied, ”The twelve Spiritual Meridians inside you possess incredible power. I can temporarily undo the seal on one of them, but the price will be steep; are you willing to chance it?”
Xiao Chen had an inkling of what she meant. On the surface, the cloaked man was helping him but he was, in fact, harboring the same intentions as Ye Wuxin. He had no need to fear if he was strong enough to fight them. He had enough of this, anyway. Thus, he said resolutely, ”Okay!”
Bai Susu shook her head. ”Perhaps you don't understand what price am I speaking of. But I'm so sorry. There's no other way.”
Immediately, Xiao Chen felt a mysterious force circulating through his body. The twelve Spiritual Meridians inside him reacted to the invasion of external force like they had grown consciousness. They instantly became agitated and subsequently produced a force to counteract that external force.
The two forces were colliding furiously inside him at this moment, neither willing to show weakness. He felt as if something was ripping his internal organs to pieces, and it was so painful that he finally screamed.
Some distance away, Ye Wuxin was engaged in intense close combat with the cloaked man. Hearing the commotion from Xiao Chen's side, he whipped his head around and yelled, ”What are you doing?! No!” Ignoring the nemesis in front of him, he transformed a swift light and charged at Bai Susu.
”Do you think you can stop her?”
The cloaked man sneered. In a flash, he appeared in front of Ye Wuxin and blocked his path. Ye Wuxin pushed his palms simultaneously and two overwhelming forces sprang forth, putting pressure on the cloaked man. Everywhere the palm forces passed was crushed into pieces.
With a subtle backward shift, the cloaked man reappeared seven or eight feet away. When he extended his five fingers, five mass of black mist appeared out of thin air in the sky and flew toward Ye Wuxin.
Ye Wuxin was well aware that this man's expertise lay in demonizing humans and turning them into his Devil Slaves. Not daring to let down his guard, he cast a spell in the sky. He turned into a swift radiance and reappeared more than ten feet away.
”Have you gone mad?! Do you know what he's doing?! If he awakens, no one of us can escape alive!”
The cloaked man flashed him an icy smile. ”Of course, I know.” He sent several more mass of black mist flying at Ye Wuxin.
The black mist swirled around Ye Wuxin, making it impossible for him to escape. He bit hard on his finger and shot a drop of blood at the nearby Corpse Puppet's midbrows. Once the puppet absorbed Ye Wuxin's blood, its size exploded several times over until it became a giant. It then lunged at Bai Susu.
Seeing this, the enchanting woman in the sky abruptly transformed into a black mist and appeared in front of the Corpse Puppet in a flash. She struck the puppet with her palm, sending him staggering backward.
”Roar—”
A bellow erupted from the Corpse Puppet. Ignoring the enchanting woman, it continued to lunge at Bai Susu. The enchanting woman scoffed and began casting a seal. Out of the blue, chains fashioned out of dark Qi emerged from the ground and firmly caught hold of the puppet.
”Have you all gone mad?!” Ye Wuxin screamed.
Over on Xiao Chen's end, a bead of sweat was sliding down Bai Susu's forehead. Evidently, she was consuming too much of her energy. Xiao Chen's face was so contorted that he looked like a nightmare. His pained screeches were unending. One could see a faint red mark between his eyebrows.
”Argh!”
”Arghhhh!”
”Argh!”
Even though Fengxi and the rest didn't know what had happened, they could tell that something was very off and retreated far away. If not for Yi Tong keeping a firm hold on Murong Xian'er, she would have long run over to Xiao Chen.
”Argh——!”
When the last bellow came from Xiao Chen, an overwhelmingly potent force erupted from his body. In an instant, this force shrouded a radius of nearly a hundred miles. Even cultivators who had fled the city could feel this ancient power of Gods and Devils and all of them involuntarily collapsed by the roadside.
