609: Unnamed draft
Chen De and the Third Elder of the Yuanxu Sect locked eyes, both sides falling silent for a short while.
With the accumulation gathered after breaking through to the Eighth Transformation on the third floor and clearing out the remnants of Luohong Hall, Chen De's current cultivation was at the mid-stage of the Eighth Transformation of the Demon Venerable Realm.
Taking out the opponent wouldn't be a problem, but it would be easy to get swarmed, so he decisively chose to give up.
“Look, a UFO!”
Suddenly, Chen De pointed in one direction and shouted loudly.
He thought no one would fall for such a stupid trick, but the opponent actually turned his head.
Chen De: ...What else could he say?
Time to run!
The moment they met, Chen De didn't even fight; he just turned around and bolted.
The Third Elder of the Yuanxu Sect, named Xiao Yun, turned back and immediately gave chase to Chen De.
During the pursuit, he was surprised to find that the opponent's speed was not a bit slower than his own.
It was clear that this was also a powerhouse at the level of the Eighth Transformation of the Immortal Law Realm, and his strength might not even be inferior to his own.
At a time like this, the appearance of a powerhouse of this level looking for trouble was not a good sign.
Could it be a probe?
Thus, a hint of retreat arose in Xiao Yun's heart; there was no point in continuing the chase if he couldn't take the man down.
But he soon dismissed his hesitation. The more it was like this, the more he couldn't back down; instead, he had to be a bit tougher.
Otherwise, if he showed weakness, the opponent might notice something was amiss.
Meanwhile, Chen De, who was being pursued ahead, didn't expect the guy behind him to be like a piece of dog-skin plaster, sticking to him relentlessly.
Based on his guesses about the situation within the sect, the man should have given up long ago.
Looking at the system map again, it showed only one person chasing Chen De, with truly no other helpers.
Did he take me for a soft persimmon?
But Chen De thought about it again—if that was really the case, it was a good thing!
Immediately, Chen De changed his escape method, feigning being caught up by Xiao Yun and choosing to fight while retreating.
However, Chen De naturally couldn't go all out; instead, he intentionally fell into a disadvantage.
And in the process of exchanging blows, he bit by bit gifted him some black liquid.
This stuff was a holy medicine for healing; ever since he had the black liquid, Chen De had never been injured again.
It was fortunate that it fell into the hands of someone like him who was happy to share, giving anyone a chance to experience its 'deliciousness'.
If it were held by a more selfish person, it would truly be wasted.
Unknowingly, the two were about to run out of the Yuanxu Sect's territory.
The injuries displayed on Chen De's body were also becoming heavier and heavier; clearly, it wouldn't be long before he was beaten to death by Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun also clearly saw the hope of his victory, which was why he became even more relentless in his pursuit.
Even though they had reached this point, he didn't have the slightest intention of giving up.
However, Chen De did not stop, but instead led him forward for another distance.
Xiao Yun, who was fighting while chasing, suddenly felt that the power of the opponent's attacks was much stronger than before.
This caused him to be unable to parry in his haste, and he suffered a tiny injury.
It was a blade qi; the opponent had never used this type before and had suddenly drawn his blade just now.
Caught off guard, a small scar was left on his body, but it was nothing serious.
In the blink of an eye, the wound disappeared without a trace.
However, Xiao Yun felt a little strange in his heart; it seemed to recover faster than he had expected.
“Why have you stopped running?”
Xiao Yun felt a little panicked; now that the opponent had stopped running, he felt like running instead.
This place seemed a bit far from his sect; if something really happened, reinforcements wouldn't make it in time.
His carelessness just now might now require his life as the price for buying this lesson.
Thus, Xiao Yun instantly transformed into a stream of light, intending to quickly shuttle back in the direction he came from.
Chen De slightly shook his head; if he let the guy escape now, how could he keep his reputation?
Xiao Yun, who was fleeing ahead, strangely discovered that he seemed unable to use his full strength.
Whether he wanted to flee or fight, there was always a portion of his power that couldn't be exerted.
He even had a faint feeling of losing control.
“What did you do to me?”
Linking together all these anomalies, he asked Chen De behind him.
The Holy Mother does not tell lies!
Therefore, in response to Xiao Yun's question, Chen De naturally answered him truthfully, “Because of justice!”
“Justice?”
Hearing this answer, Xiao Yun was somewhat confused; what did this have to do with justice?
Chen De spoke loudly and clearly, “When luck comes, heaven and earth work together; when fortune fades, heroes are no longer free!”
“You have done too many wrong things, and now the heavens have come to claim you!”
World Shattering Descending Demon Blade!
This time, Chen De directly unleashed his most powerful strike.
It couldn't be helped; figures who had reached this stage did not lack divine abilities or martial techniques.
If he used some ordinary skills, he wouldn't gain much of an advantage at all.
Facing the attack launched by Chen De, as the target, he very intuitively felt the power of this strike.
At that moment, he didn't dare to hold back any longer and directly released his trump card.
“Don't be happy too soon; try this move.”
Divine Ability — Yuan Magnetic Ruins Restriction!
Obviously, this was a restrictive divine ability, its power on par with the Luohong Hall's Falling Rainbow Sand Count.
Using it now was not to defeat Chen De, but to stall him and buy time for his own escape.
However, no matter how powerful a divine ability was, one had to be able to use it.
While Xiao Yun was circulating his divine ability, he suddenly suffered a very intense interference.
This interference did not come from the outside, but from his own physical body.
It wasn't from a single spot, but an interference coming from all parts of his body.
Ultimately, it resulted in Xiao Yun's divine ability failing to activate, and he was even struck head-on by Chen De's blade, leaving him heavily injured.
With the Evil God Essence buffing him, in a confrontation within the same realm, the final victor would definitely be him if the fight dragged on.
Coming before Xiao Yun's already cracked body, Chen De locked eyes with him once more.
“What is your purpose?”
Seemingly having already admitted his defeat, Xiao Yun asked about the opponent's purpose for doing this.
Obviously, for such a powerhouse to destroy one of their life planets, there must be some schemes and calculations involved.
Chen De nodded; although the opponent had already asked this question.
But as the Supreme Holy Mother, he would patiently answer others' doubts no matter how many times they asked.
But time was tight, so Chen De had to keep it short. He said to Xiao Yun with a serious face, “Justice!”
Playing me?
Just as these two words surfaced in Xiao Yun's mind, Chen De had already moved.
Right before his eyes, he melted into a certain black liquid, and then bit by bit flowed into his body through the cracks.
While he still had consciousness, Xiao Yun was horrified beyond measure, “You are... what kind of thing are you?”
Then he seemed to think of something, “Wait, this is a bit like the legendary Evi—”
But before he could finish his sentence, his cracked body had already reattached, and all the wounds were completely healed.
