#689 - Tianzong assassination
"Huh?"
"This sword... I seem to have seen it somewhere?"
"I have a kind of familiar feeling, but I can't remember where, hmm..."
Su Xi stared at the God-Slaying Sword, and poked her chin with a slender white finger, looking a little distressed.
Su Chen was shocked and delighted when he heard this!
This God-Slaying Sword was given to him by the Frostfire Emperor in the Primordial Continent!
Before Su Chen ascended to the God Realm, the Frostfire Emperor had also told Su Chen before entering reincarnation that they would meet again in the God Realm in the future!
Could it be that Su Xi is the reincarnation of the Frostfire Emperor?!
If that's really the case, everything makes sense.
No wonder Su Xi is so affectionate to Su Chen and has such a high degree of favorability. This is probably influenced by her previous life, and she naturally has a high degree of favorability towards Su Chen!
But... Su Chen has only been in the God Realm for a few years. Logically speaking, after the Frostfire Emperor reincarnated, she should only be two or three years old at most now, right?
How could she be so old?
"I remember!"
Su Xi's eyes suddenly lit up: "I seem to have dreamed of a sword when I was dreaming before. It looks very similar to this sword. Later, it seemed like I lost it, or maybe I gave it to someone..."
Su Xi's words shocked Su Chen again!
Except for the age mismatch, everything else is very consistent.
Su Xi looks very much like the reincarnation of the Frostfire Emperor!
"Then I'll give you this sword, do you like it?"
Su Chen touched Su Xi's little head and said softly.
"I like it, thank you, big brother!"
Su Xi immediately showed a look of surprise, took the God-Slaying Sword, and her big eyes curved into crescents.
"Hmm... then I have to give a gift to big brother too!"
Su Xi thought for a while, then suddenly took off a jade pendant hanging around her neck and handed it to Su Chen.
This scene made the armored man's eyelids twitch wildly, and his eyes widened!
This is a secret treasure for self-defense that the Old Man Tiankui spent a lot of effort to refine. It can withstand the attacks of a God King and is his life-saving method left for Su Xi!
This kid actually exchanged it for a broken sword?
Although the armored man had no expression, Su Chen still noticed his resentful gaze.
Su Chen suddenly became thoughtful.
The fact that the clone of Old Man Tiankui could show such a gaze clearly meant that this jade pendant was extraordinary and must be a treasure that Old Man Tiankui left for Su Xi.
"This gift is too precious, let's exchange it for another one."
Su Chen smiled and put the jade pendant back on Su Xi.
"Hmm... then, I'll give this gift to big brother!"
Su Xi thought for a while and took out a piece of heart-protecting mirror and handed it to Su Chen: "This is the armor I personally refined while learning the art of refining from Grandpa Tiankui."
Su Chen took the heart-protecting mirror, and the spiritual power of his fingertips surged. The heart-protecting mirror bloomed with a hazy light, enveloping Su Chen, and instantly turned into a blue and silver armor, majestic and extraordinary.
Although its grade is only Void rank, Su Xi is only twelve years old, and being able to refine armor of this grade is already extremely amazing.
"Very good armor, thank you."
Su Chen smiled slightly at Su Xi.
Su Xi also showed a sweet smile on her face when she heard this.
Just as Su Chen was about to say goodbye to Su Xi, the armored man suddenly said: "I'll send you back."
Su Chen's heart moved, but he didn't refuse: "Then I'll have to trouble you, senior."
The armored man waved his big hand, and a mysterious and powerful force enveloped Su Chen and Su Xi, soaring into the sky and heading towards the direction of Tianwu Academy.
At the same time, an old figure was hidden in the void, and his gloomy eyes were watching Su Chen!
Seeing the armored man personally escorting Su Chen back to Tianwu Academy, the old woman frowned.
"Old Man Tiankui... really meddling!"
A murderous intent flashed in the old woman's eyes.
She originally wanted to secretly kill Su Chen, but she didn't expect that Old Man Tiankui, who had always been indifferent, would actually take action to escort Su Chen back. It seemed that he had guessed her plan.
"Hmph, this old woman wants to see how much strength your puppet clone, Old Man Tiankui, has!"
The old woman didn't plan to back down. She snorted coldly, and murderous intent flashed in her eyes!
After all, the armored man was not the real Old Man Tiankui descending, and she was not afraid.
She took out a robe and put it on her body. In an instant, her appearance changed greatly, transforming into a burly middle-aged man, and her aura was completely different from before. No one could tell her original identity.
The middle-aged man held a long knife in his backhand, full of murderous intent, and rushed directly towards Su Chen!
"Grandpa, bad guys are coming."
Suddenly, Su Xi frowned slightly, sensing something in the dark, and looked back.
The armored man stopped, his five fingers turned, and a golden sword appeared.
"Die!!"
The middle-aged man appeared like a ghost, shouted loudly, and without saying a word, slashed directly at Su Chen with his knife. The terrifying blade light seemed to split the sky in half, and the air exploded, making a rumbling sound.
The power of this knife was extremely terrifying. Obviously, the opponent was not a God King in the first or second level, but an old God King who had been famous for many years!
Clang!!
The armored man held up the golden sword to block. The two weapons collided, accompanied by two terrifying forces erupting, making a deafening explosion. The divine power of the God King realm continued to spread, causing the world to shake.
After slashing out with one knife, the middle-aged man strode forward like a dragon and tiger. His offensive was quite fierce. In an instant, he slashed out hundreds of knives. The world was filled with white blade light, completely submerging this place!
But the armored man was not willing to be outdone. A pair of light wings appeared behind him. Accompanied by an amazing domain unfolding, he protected Su Chen and Su Xi. All the blade lights were blocked!
The armored man is just a puppet clone, but he can actually possess such terrifying combat power. It's simply like a miracle!
"Old Man Tiankui... interesting, really interesting!!"
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes slightly, and the killing intent on his body became even more terrifying!
Boom——
In an instant, the two sides broke out into a fierce battle. The surging divine power continued to spread. The vast and boundless land below was affected, mountains collapsed, and the void was distorted. The scene was amazing.
Su Chen put on the Scarlet Abyss Battle Armor, picked up Su Xi in one hand, and with a flap of his wings, rushed out of the battlefield.
The battle between God Kings was too terrifying. Even a wisp of the aftermath of the battle might not be something Su Chen could withstand.
After all, the opponent was an old God King, and his strength was far from comparable to someone who had just broken through to the God King realm. Su Chen couldn't stop him even if he was wearing the Scarlet Abyss Battle Armor.
So he left the battlefield as soon as possible to avoid dragging the armored man down.
"He has a special magic weapon to disguise himself. This is not his true form."
Su Xi stared at the middle-aged man, and a wisp of mysterious light flickered in the depths of her eyes, accompanied by the aura of the supreme rules that seemed to be there, able to see through falsehoods and penetrate the origin of all things!
But Su Xi's age and cultivation were still too low.
After watching for a while, she rubbed her eyes: "Hmm... I can't see his true form, but I feel like he's from the Tianzong."
"Big brother offended someone from the Tianzong in the Nine Nether Abyss. He was attacked as soon as he left the Nine Nether Abyss. It must be the Tianzong's doing!"
