Chapter 382 - An Unavoidable Confrontation

But Qingyu was closely involved in this thing and could not see as clearly as those outsides. She only thought that Xiao Chen was willing to take the high risk to cure the Devil’s Carnage for her. However, when he needed help, she could do nothing and even could not defend him.

Thinking of this, Qingyu felt even more guilty and upset in her heart. Gradually, tears gathered up in her eyes. Zhou Li, who was beside her, soon understood what was in her mind. He pulled her sleeves and shook his head.

Xiao Chen glanced around and said lightly, “If there is nothing else, I will leave. When we meet again in the Ghost-wailing Hill some other day, you don’t have to care about our former friendship. Well, at least, I won’t care.”

He said this only to remind the six of them that they should behave appropriately with caution when they competed for the extraordinary treasure in the Ghost-wailing Hill. At that time, many people of the Orthodox Path must also be present. Thus, they’d better not violate the Orthodox Path’s taboos. Though he said this out of kindness, deep in his heart, he had more or less a faint trace of grievance that even he didn’t notice. Day by day, this grievance might grow and become increasingly intense.

After finishing speaking, Xiao Chen turned around and wanted to leave. But from time to time, some fighting sounds came from the distance. Looking up, he saw two beams of light, one purple, and one green. The two beams of light shuttled back and forth in midair. Wherever the light arrived, they would surely destroy the large tracts of the forests below. And they even scattered the clouds within five kilometers. When Xiao Chen got closer to the two rays, he saw that Xiaoyue and Su Lianyue were fighting.

Judging by the scene of fighting, Xiao Chen knew that they evenly matched. However, Su Zimu, Zuoqiu Yang, and Bai Yushu were chasing behind. While retreating, Su Lianyue still fought with Xiaoyue and was reluctant to give up. Xiaoyue rushed toward her in hot pursuit, launching various attacks by her Duster. It seemed that she got the upper hand.

“Swoosh!”

With a sound of the wind, Xiaoyue unsheathed the Autumn Water Sword. Covered with white radiance, the Autumn Water Sword cut at Su Lianyue with an overbearing manner like a bright white rainbow crossed the sun in the sky. In the wind, there was the rain of jumping stones. The grass and trees were shaking violently on the ground between them. Moving her fingers, Su Lianyue cast a spell. All of a sudden, the rays of light on the Reed of Frosted Blue-Violet Jade became much more brilliant. “Buzzing!” She managed to withstand the attack of the Autumn Water Sword, a Divine Weapon of the Archean Eon.

However, the attack still knocked Su Lianyue down to the ground. Then, there came her sweet sounds of laughter. “Little sister, you have chased me for such a long time, aren’t you tired?” When she was talking, she launched a surprise attack by a beam of purple mist. It tightly enveloped Zuoqiu Yang. All of a sudden, Zuoqiu Yang flushed with shame. No one knew what he was thinking about now.

“I will kill anyone that I meet from the Devil’s Practice!” Wearing an ice-cold face, Xiaoyue gently moved her ten fingers to cast a spell, her green clothes floating lightly in the air. She wielded the Thousand Feathers Sect’s Wind Flower Snow Moon. The images of the flower, the moon, and the snowflake suddenly appeared in midair. In the strong wind, the pieces of snowflakes, which were as sharp as blades, cut at Su Lianyue at a fast speed.

Su Lianyue tiptoed gently and instantly landed on the ground 30 meters away. However, 13 beams of golden Sword Qi suddenly appeared in the sky, falling down toward the top of her head. In no hurry, Su Lianyue chanted the incantation in a low voice. All of a sudden, a greenish-blue paper umbrella popped up above her head. It kept rotating while emitting waves of green light. At last, it actually blocked Su Zimu’s Heavenly Thirteen Swords.

“Fairy Suyue, your Reed of Frosted Blue-Violet Jade and Pure-heart Greenish-blue Umbrella are truly powerful. Lucky enough, I saw the two moves today. I admire you very much.”

Falling back to the ground, Su Zimu closed the Mystic Heaven Fan and clasped his hands together. The hearty smile on his face looked as warm as the sun. He still appeared like a gentleman even when he faced the top demonic woman of the Fort Raksasa’s Blue-water Altar. Nevertheless, he exerted all his strength to launch his Heavenly Thirteen Swords just now.

“You must be joking, Master Su. How can my two pieces of work compare with your Mystic Heaven Fan?”

Su Lianyue threw a glance at him. While talking in a voice as light as the drizzle in March, she looked at him with eyes sparkling like the water surface in the autumn sun in September. Only a glance, she made Su Zimu tremble all over. In an instant, he felt as if he had fallen into the bottomless, glamorous world of mortals and was placed amid various sexy women. Abruptly, Su Zimu felt a shudder. Immediately after that, he came to his senses and ran his family’s mind cultivation method to fight against the illusion. He secretly thought, “What an awesome enchanting skill!” Since then, he dared not to talk to her.

“Shameless demonic woman, watch my sword!” Xiaoyue gave a harsh reproach. Then, the white radiance on her Autumn Water Sword increased sharply, and it cut at Su Lianyue once again. This time, Su Lianyue didn’t dare to confront her attack directly. Instantly leaping back, she was already at the place 300 meters away from Xiaoyue. With a gust of fragrant wind, she pounced straight on Xiao Chen. In fact, if she retreated 3 meters further, she would land directly on Xiao Chen.

Behind her, Xiaoyue and the other three people caught up with them. With fixed attention, Yu Yifeng said. “They are Xiaoyue and others.” After that, he glanced at Su Lianyue, who was 3 meters away from Xiao Chen, frowning deeply.

Xiaoyue was the first one that caught up with them. Her glance flicked around Xiao Chen’s face, but it seemed that she no longer felt surprised. Then she saw the mess of corpses on the ground. Finally, her eyes came to rest on Yu Yifeng and others. “Senior Brother Yu, since all of you is also here, this demonic woman…”

Before she could finish her words, Su Lianyue turned around and glanced at Xiao Chen. Pretending to be surprised, she said, “Oh! Young Master Xiao, you are also here.” After that, she slowly moved toward Xiao Chen.

Just now, Su Lianyue had fought hard with the four people, and then she moved up to Xiao Chen by narrowing a long distance into a little one. After all of this, her upper cloth had slid down sideways, which exposed her white jade-like shoulder. With her clothes fluttering along with the wind, her curvy breasts under her collarbones were partly hidden and partly visible. Though Liu Feiyan was also a woman, she could not help flushing up to the ears.

However, Qin Shaoyang and Zhou Li, who seemed to be attacked by the Paralyzing Incense, were at a loss. Gradually, they felt reluctant to move their blank eyes away from Su Lianyue. Slightly frowning, Yu Yifeng activated his True Energy and knocked the Startling Rainbow Sword at his back. The sword gave off a metallic sound, which finally woke Qin Shaoyang and Zhou Li up.

After the two men sobered up, they could not help feeling the great panic in secret after this incident. They thought that the demonic woman’s enchant skill was so powerful that they didn’t even know when they had fallen into her trap.

Behind them, Su Zimu and the other two also arrived here. They saw this man in the straw raincoat and heard Su Lianyue call him Young Master Xiao. Then, when they spotted Xiao Chen’s face under the bamboo rain hat, all of them were greatly stunned. That day, the four of them had besieged the man in the straw raincoat, but finally, they were at a disadvantage. From then on, they got a deep fear of the man with the straw raincoat. But they had never expected that this man was Xiao Chen.

On that night, Xiaoyue had witnessed the whole process that Su Lianyue and others besieged Danyang Zi. So she had already known that Xiao Chen was the man with the straw raincoat. At first, she certainly felt a little shocked, but now there was no surprise for her.

With a flash of light crossing her eyes, she seemed to notice that Su Lianyue might have an unusual relationship with Xiao Chen. Gently moving her fingers, she cast a spell. After a whistle, her Autumn Water Sword immediately turned into a streak of white light and came right at Su Lianyue. However, she didn’t use as much force as she used in her previous attacks.

“Buzzing!” A clear sound was heard. It turned out that Xiao Chen had instantly formed an Immortal’s Sword and fended off the Autumn Water Sword. Again, Yu Yifeng’s eyebrows frowned deeply, and Xiaoyue smiled lightly. “Brother Xiao, haven’t seen you for a long time.” She launched her sword attack just now only to see whether Xiao Chen would stand out to help Su Lianyue.

Su Lianyue took a few steps to Xiao Chen and smiled tenderly. “Master Xiao…” But Xiao Chen abruptly interrupted her before she could say anything. “You’d better put on your clothes first.”

“Humph!” Su Lianyue showed a pitiable appearance as if she were a little girl who was blamed by Xiao Chen. With her orchid fingers, she slowly lifted her slipping clothes along her left bare shoulders. The few men present felt that the heat that her subtle and gentle move brought could nearly melt the air, and there was a series of romantic ripples flowing across their hearts.

Zuoqiu Yang immediately woke up. After a glance, he saw many corpses lying on the ground, and one of them was his Junior Brother from the Divine Mist Sect.

“Junior Brother He! Gu Hai!” Zuoqiu Yang glanced at the two corpses and immediately ran over to them. Due to his status, he was both a disciple of the Divine Mist Sect and a young master of the Zuoqiu family. But this time, he certainly wanted to bring the extraordinary treasure to the Zuoqiu family. Thus, it was not convenient for him to act together with the Divine Mist Sect.

But among the dozen people who died, two of them had a good relationship with Zuoqiu Yang. Their relationship was as close as the relationship between Xiao Chen and the three princes when they were in the Three Pure Sect. Upon seeing such a tragic scene, how could he not feel painfully sad? Turning around, Zuoqiu Yang stared ferociously at Xiao Chen with his bloodshot eyes. At this time, how Zuoqiu Yang wished that he could grind Xiao Chen’s bones to dust!

With his hands clasping behind, Xiao Chen looked quite indifferent, ignoring Zuoqiu Yang’s stare. Qin Shaoyang frowned and said, “Senior Brother Zuoqiu, these people were killed by the Seven Killings and Yi Yeqiu.”

At this moment, Zuoqiu Yang was so angry that his eyes seemed about to pop out. He didn’t care about what Qin Shaoyang was talking about. Yelling violently, he lifted his ferrotungsten spear and stabbed at Xiao Chen. All of a sudden, a fierce gale sprang up and vigorously shook the big branches nearby.

Having been holding a grudge against Xiao Chen for a long time, Zuoqiu Yang was so angry at Xiao Chen that he could not wait to eat his flesh and drink his blood. At first, Zuoqiu Yang was the top genius in his family, and also he was the Divine Mist Sect’s heir. But since the appearance of Xiao Chen, everything changed. Xiao Chen defeated him again and again, and Zuoqiu Yang just was not willing to be reconciled.

Suddenly, the top of Zuoqiu Yang’s ferrotungsten spear shone with the dazzling black light. Then, there came waves of powerful vital force, which nearly twisted the space near the spearhead. In shock, Su Lianyue said, “Watch out, Master Xiao!” Swinging her sleeves, she took out the Pure-heart Greenish-blue Umbrella again and blocked Zuoqiu Yang’s attack. Then, she seemed to be unable to stand still and retreated repeatedly. Well, no one knew whether she did it on purpose or not.

Xiao Chen stretched out and grabbed her. A strong wind passed by, and Su Lianyue’s sleeves floated slightly upward. Out of the corner of his eye, Xiao Chen glanced at her bare arm.

Su Lianyue immediately withdrew her hand and smiled sweetly. “Thank you, Master Xiao.”

Yu Yifeng’s eyebrows wrinkled much deeper, and Zuoqiu Yang smiled coldly. With a tongue full of hatred, he said, “Xiao Chen, do you think that we can do nothing to you after you entered the Devils’ sects? Hehe!”

“Zuoqiu Yang, stop talking nonsense!” It was Qingyu who stood out to reproach him. After she said that, Qingyu glared at Su Lianyue. “You shameless woman, every man in this world can be your targets of…” Initially, she wanted to say that Su Lianyue took every man as her target of seducing. But when the few words were on her lips, she swallowed them because she thought it was disgraceful. Then, she changed her words. “Don’t, don’t confuse his mind!”

Covering her mouth, Su Lianyue giggled attractively. She threw a glance at Qingyu and sneered. “Little sister, you cannot even speak clearly, so save your words.”

“You!”

Still, Qingyu wanted to retort, but Yu Yifeng stopped her. At this point, Luo Shangyan took a step forward. She fixed her eyes on Xiao Chen all the time and never moved away from him for an inch. Then, she said, “Can I still call you Junior Brother?”

Xiao Chen trembled slightly but didn’t speak. Instead, he slowly turned to face Luo Shangyan. Su Lianyue felt that something went against her would soon happen. Of course, she could see that Xiao Chen had a close relationship with this person surnamed Luo. If Xiao Chen turned to their side or just stood by, Su Lianyue was very liked to be killed right here today. So she hurriedly coughed and said with a smile, “Master Xiao, we should deal with our business first. Now, how about stop tangling with these people?”

Xiao Chen paused a little, and finally, he turned back again, saying in a deep voice, “Let’s go.”

“Lil Chen!” The surrounding trees shivered with the cry. This time, it was Yu Yifeng who angrily called his name in a deep voice. Xiao Chen paused again, but still, he didn’t turn around. He walked forward. Then, a green figure flashed. Xiaoyue appeared six meters before him, standing in his way to block them.

“Brother Xiao, you can go. But I’m afraid that she can never escape today.”
