Chapter 158 Only One Can Survive
"What an old thief!"
Chen Xiao cursed inwardly and stopped moving.
Just now he had guessed in his mind that this guy must be hiding nearby, but he didn't expect that he would actually appear.
If he hadn't been alert in his heart and ran out directly, it would have been no different from walking into a trap.
Chen Xiao didn't move, and in mid-air, the elder's brows furrowed deeply.
Just now he was hiding in a bush around him to cover his body, just to lure Chen Xiao out.
But, what made him speechless was that Chen Xiao didn't come out all the time.
This was embarrassing, he couldn't stay here forever, right?
So, he had to appear again and search around again.
This time, he was no longer attacking randomly, but the elder held a long sword and walked on the ground step by step, his sharp eyes constantly patrolling the surroundings. As long as there was any movement, he would immediately raise his hand and slash a sword, without even checking whether it was the right intention.
Finally, after stabbing more than ten times in a row, the figure of the elder came to the position near the tree roots where Chen Xiao was hiding, only about four or five meters away from Chen Xiao.
At such a distance, if someone approached, it would be impossible for the Martial Emperor to not find out, and this was already a position that could endanger their lives.
Unfortunately, the power of the breath-retaining technique that Chen Xiao learned was too amazing, and he actually managed to deceive the world and let the elder of the Qingling Sect pass by him.
One meter!
Two meters!
The elder turned his back to the place where Chen Xiao was hiding, getting farther and farther away.
Chen Xiao was still crawling on the ground indifferently, without any movement, and seemed not to intend to attack again.
And at this moment, the elder turned around again, raised his hand and blasted a sword towards the position where Chen Xiao was.
Chen Xiao's heart sank immediately, and he thought that the other party had seen the clues.
However, what Chen Xiao did not expect was that when the sword hit the tree stump and sawdust flew everywhere, the elder continued to search elsewhere.
It seemed that he didn't notice it, but just used a sword out of habit.
Chen Xiao's face was slightly pale. The sword just now was actually several meters away from his position, but the flying wood chips and the splashing sword energy and true essence were also very painful when they hit his body.
Fortunately, the other party didn't notice him.
Just as the other party turned around and continued to move forward, Chen Xiao suddenly grasped the Chiyun Sword, and his figure flashed, like a cheetah hunting, and rushed directly to the back of the elder.
In his hand, the Chiyun Sword was raised high, and with a sword, it was chopped down fiercely!
"Burning Sky Sword!"
A low shout sounded from Chen Xiao's heart, and a faint red flame appeared on the body of the Chiyun Sword. The spiritual energy of the world around him immediately swarmed towards the Chiyun Sword.
The power of the Chiyun Sword continued to grow, making the whole sword seem to be wrapped in red flames, and the truth was completely invisible.
There was no movement at first, but when the Burning Heaven Sword was used, the huge movement was impossible even if Chen Xiao wanted to cover it up.
The Great Elder of the Qingling Sect, who was about to move forward, turned around and looked behind him.
In his hand, the silver long sword flashing with cold light also turned around and subconsciously slashed out with a sword light.
However, when he turned around and saw the situation behind him, even the knowledgeable Great Elder of the Qingling Sect, Wan Xiong, couldn't help but widen his eyes.
In fact, the strange scene behind him was too obvious.
The whole sky behind him seemed to be completely ignited, and even the clouds in the sky seemed to be stained with red flames, which was extremely terrifying!
"Is this a heaven-level technique?" The Great Elder of the Qingling Sect's pupils suddenly contracted, and he blurted out almost subconsciously.
Of course, while shouting this sentence, he did not stand there in a daze. The long sword in his hand shook, and another sword light slashed out.
This sword beam was obviously thicker than the previous one, and the power contained in it was even more domineering, even the air around it was whistling.
Chen Xiao had no intention of answering him at all, but the Burning Heaven Sword in his hand had already chopped down!
Buzz...
A strange wave suddenly appeared, acting around Chen Xiao's body.
Then, the flaming sword emitted by the Burning Heaven Sword slashed fiercely on Wan Xiong's first sword energy.
Pop...
It was as if something was broken, and the first sword energy couldn't even resist for a moment.
It actually broke directly at the moment of contact, turned into dots of starlight, and disappeared.
The second sword beam that followed, did hold on for a moment longer.
But, it was only for a moment.
Under the influence of the extremely domineering and terrifying sword energy of the Burning Heaven Sword, it also collapsed.
And the Burning Heaven Sword that Chen Xiao used was just a slightly dimmed flame.
"Hmph, I underestimated you!" Qingling Sect's Great Elder Wan Xiong narrowed his eyes slightly, and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes.
He did not continue to blast out sword energy, but raised the long sword in his hand and directly faced the Burning Heaven Sword!
On the opposite side, after performing the Burning Heaven Sword, Chen Xiao's face became even paler. His original cultivation had reached the zero point, and he could fall to the Nine-Star Martial King Realm at any time.
After performing the Burning Heaven Sword, he finally couldn't maintain it and fell directly to the peak of the Nine-Star Martial King Realm.
Moreover, it seems that there is still a possibility of falling down.
After all, the sequelae of the violent secret technique are still very terrifying.
There is no time!
Chen Xiao simply cannot continue to entangle.
Seeing the great elder facing the Burning Sky Sword, the long sword in Chen Xiao's hand changed again, turning into a hazy light and shadow, and directly covering the position where the great elder was.
"Hmph, it's useless!"
The voice of the great elder snorted coldly. He was very surprised at Chen Xiao's speed and Chen Xiao's character. If Chen Xiao had not had a grudge against him, he would even have thought of accepting him as a disciple.
It's a pity that only one of the two can survive!
"Break!"
The great elder shouted in a low voice, and the long sword in his hand suddenly straightened up and pierced directly into the sky full of flames.
Compared with the sky full of red flames, the great elder's sword is not worth mentioning at all.
However, it was this seemingly insignificant blow that burst out an extremely dangerous breath at the moment it pierced the sky full of red flames.
As a result, the red flames in the sky actually shattered into pieces at this moment and fell to all directions.
The Burning Heaven Sword has been broken!
This was completely a forced break by the cultivation level. Even Chen Xiao was helpless about this.
The cultivation level gap between the two was too big. If not, it would be very troublesome for Wan Xiong to break this move.
