Chapter 308 - Love Hurts (1/2)

The one who made a sudden appearance was Xiao Chen. He looked dejected and his voice was weak as he spoke. Huangfu Xin’er felt even more resentful as she saw him blocking in front of Li Muxue. She bellowed, “It’s none of your business, move away!”

Xiao Chen shook his head. Huangfu Xin’er’s face flashed a sign of rage as she said, “Well! If you want to save her, then the more I am going to kill her!” Then she raised her hand. Suddenly, dozens of red lights emerged from all directions and slashed at Li Muxue.

Xiao Chen immediately gathered his Qi and it cycled around in his body nine times. The True Energy in his body rushed out with a thump. The overwhelming force dissipated the red lights from all directions instantly.

The people below on the square were confused by the situation. The three senior elders on the high platform looked at each other. One of them shouted, “This game is temporarily terminated. The three of you get off the stage immediately!”

However, Huangfu Xin’er did not listen to them. She continued to execute killing moves at Li Muxue. But each time, the move was blocked by Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen pinched his fingers and the Unsullied Sword appeared. He sent Li Muxue onto the sword and said, “You go first!”

“Leaving? It’s not so easy!”

By then, Li Muxue had already flown to the edge of the Floating Platform. Huangfu Xin’er bellowed, and with her sleeve, she rolled Li Muxue up and took her back. Xiao Chen condensed his power on his finger and slashed at her sleeve, cutting it off. However, Huangfu Xin’er rushed in front of Li Muxue in that instant.

Huangfu Xin’er’s five fingers transformed into blades and the expression on her face was terrifying. It was apparent that she did not leave the slightest room for maneuvering. She was going to take Li Muxue’s life no matter what. Xiao Chen immediately performed Immortal-override Steps and was soon in front of Li Muxue. Blood splattered as the fingers pierced into the left side of Xiao Chen’s chest instead of Li Muxue.

If they had pierced into his chest a centimeter more, it would have injured his heart, and even the gods would not have been able to save him. But Xiao Chen did not make any resistance. With that terrifying power of Huangfu Xin’er at that moment, the wound could not have been shallow. Huangfu Xin’er had taken back her force in time.

“Well, you would rather die to save her! Then I will kill both of you!”

Huangfu Xin’er’s eyes turned bloodshot within seconds, and there were faint tears as well. Suddenly, she directed a force out of her body. This force was so fierce that it sent both Xiao Chen and Li Muxue flying.

Immediately, rays of red light started swirling around her body. As she rose up into midair, a terrible and sinister force instantly filled the entire square.

Several elders saw that the situation was getting worse. As they were about to stop Huangfu Xin’er, who was floating high above in the sky, she suddenly spewed out a mouthful of blood. Then like a withering butterfly that had its wings broken, she slowly fell onto the square below.

The crowd exclaimed, “What’s happening?”

“Xin’er!”

Xiao Chen shouted and he reached out to grab her. However, he too spewed out a mouthful of blood at the same moment. Everyone below exclaimed again, “What’s going on here now!”

Xiao Chen’s face suddenly became extremely pale. Then his face was reddish for a second and purplish the next. Li Muxue’s face changed and she quickly held him up. She cried, “Brother Xiao!”

Xiao Chen’s whole body twitched and it was hard to gather any True Energy. At this moment, he felt as though a thousand million needles had pierced through his body. He felt as though those 10,000 arrows had pierced through his heart. He felt as though he was in both fire and water. He was in incredible pain, it hurt so bad that he would rather die.

It was the Heartless Curse taking its toll on him, but it had never been so powerful like it was today.

“Brother Xiao!” Li Muxue panicked and quickly transferred True Energy into his body. However, it made him feel even more pain.

“Ah—” A heartrending moan fell into everyone’s ears. No one knew what was going on. In the distance, Zuo Qiuyang, who was waiting for his final duel with Xiao Chen, was puzzled. “What the hell?”

Murong Xian’er completely went into panic mode. Zhiluan spread its wings and flew up. An elder on the high platform shouted immediately, “Turn off the virtual image transmission array formation!” Then he jumped and flew to the Floating Platform.

The other two elders in the back, as well as Su Yue, Qing Chen Perfected Immortal, and Tai Yi Perfected Immortal, also followed.

“Don’t touch him!”

Su Yue shouted from the back, then she landed on the stage. She pressed on Xiao Chen’s wrist. After a while, she frowned and said, “It should be an extremely powerful spell.”

At this moment, Xiao Chen had completely passed out. Li Muxue suddenly remembered the time when they went to the Heartless Palace to invite Huashang. She exclaimed, “It is the Heartless Curse!”

“Heartless Curse?”
