Chapter 570: Yuwen Tuo: I Only Made a Slight Move!

Roar!

The roar of the Taotie shook the heavens and split the earth; the entire Fumo Mountain was shrouded in dense baleful energy, and beneath the oppressive black clouds, one could vaguely see a giant mouth that seemed ready to devour all things in heaven and earth.

The Taotie, an ancient fierce beast, is cruel by nature and loves to devour myriads of living beings.

It is rumored that it can even devour heaven and earth until nothing remains; wherever it goes, bones lie white and blood flows across the land.

Now, after many years, this fierce beast has emerged once again.

Most of the Ghost Valley sect on Fumo Mountain, except for Chen Fu and a few individual disciples with cultivation, had their Primordial Spirits sucked away by the Taotie in an instant, becoming demonic Puppets.

"Oh no."

Seeing this scene, Tuoba Yu'er's expression turned ugly.

All the exits were shrouded in the Taotie's Demonic Qi and baleful energy; it was impossible to get out.

Moreover, once contaminated, one would immediately be assimilated into a demonic creature, a walking corpse.

Seeing this, Tuoba Yu'er was even more furious and kicked Chen Jingchou a few more times; if it weren't for this useless prince delaying her, she would have left long ago, but now she was stuck with no way forward or back.

"Demoness, this is all your fault." Chen Fu glared at Tuoba Yu'er, ready to step forward and act on behalf of the Taoism.

Tuoba Yu'er, however, said: "The fact that the Taotie has broken its seal is already a reality; killing me won't solve the problem. Instead of killing each other, we should think of a way to escape."

"Don't you Central Plains people have a saying: 'As long as the green hills remain, there is no need to worry about firewood'?"

Chen Fu was furious, but he had to admit that what Tuoba Yu'er said made sense.

At the same time, he admired this demoness for being able to remain calm and analyze the situation at such a time.

Then he looked at Chen Jingchou, in whom he had placed such high hopes; the gap between the two was clear at a glance.

But there was no help for it; this was the last royal bloodline of the Chen Kingdom, no matter how pathetic he was now.

With the Heavenly Mandate upon him, he would eventually grow up to stand on his own.

He said dejectedly: "There is no way; relying on just us few, we are simply no match for the Taotie."

"Demoness, grant me one condition: protect Jingchou and get him out of Fumo Mountain."

"And I will use my final cultivation to delay the Taotie for a while to let you escape."

"No, Master!" Chen Jingchou cried out in pain.

"Jingchou, do not blame your master. I cannot accompany you anymore; from now on, you must rely on yourself," Chen Fu instructed.

After speaking, he formed Taoism seals with his hands and ran toward the black mist without looking back.

Within the black mist, a massive black head appeared, its surface covered in black hair, its two eyes scarlet and several times larger than lanterns, especially the two horns on its head, which possessed the momentum to pierce the firmament.

The Taotie opened its mouth, and with a gust of demonic wind, it sent Chen Fu flying with a strike.

Chen Fu consumed his Ancestral Blood and unleashed the Ghost Valley secret technique, the Freezing Art, preparing to freeze the entire Fumo Mountain.

In an instant, the earth was frozen, all things withered, and the Taotie was also sealed within.

However, only two or three breaths of time passed before, accompanied by a shrill roar, the Freezing Art was broken; the Taotie broke free from the ice and approached the crowd step by step.

Puchi!

Spitting out a mouthful of angry blood, Chen Fu collapsed to the ground, his eyes full of despair as he said:

"Is it truly the end of the Chen Kingdom? Oh Heavens, open your eyes! Why must you let such a fierce beast wreak havoc upon the land!"

Tuoba Yu'er and Chen Jingchou, who had already escaped a certain distance, were also blocked by the Taotie's Puppets.

Tuoba Yu'er was about to take action and kill these obstructive Puppets directly, but Chen Jingchou stopped her, saying:

"No, they are villagers of Fumo Mountain; they are just being controlled by the Taotie. Don't kill them, they are innocent."

"I am also very innocent. If we don't kill them, no one will escape. It's already this late, don't be so wishy-washy," Tuoba Yu'er said anxiously.

"Isn't it because you stole the Kunlun Mirror? Otherwise, how would the Taotie have been released? You say you're innocent now—have you no shame?" Chen Jingchou retorted.

Tuoba Yu'er was furious and snapped back:

"What do you mean 'stole'? The Kunlun Mirror is a divine artifact formed by heaven and earth; it doesn't belong to your family."

"You... you are unreasonable." Chen Jingchou was on the verge of tears.

Roar!

The Taotie stepped down, leaving a huge footprint on the earth; the soil under that footprint looked as if it had been burned by a raging fire, charred black.

One of Chen Fu's legs was also burned to ash by the Taotie's demonic flames, and he could only wait for death on the spot.

He closed his eyes in despair, unable to face the ancestors of the Chen Kingdom.

Clang!

A clear, resonant sword chime rang through the firmament, and Golden Sword Qi illuminated the entire Fumo Mountain; wherever the Sword Qi reached, the Taotie's Demonic Qi retreated, melting away like rain and snow, and finally disappeared.

In the sky, Yuwen Tuo, wearing a Golden Mask and clad in golden armor, appeared like a god descending to earth; holding the Xuanyuan Sword, he slashed down, and the sharp Sword Qi instantly sliced off one of the Taotie's demonic horns.

Awoo—!

The Taotie shrieked, clutching its head tightly.

Its scarlet pupils were filled with madness, looking at Yuwen Tuo with intense resentment.

A mere mortal dared to injure it?

"That is...?"

Chen Fu wore an expression of disbelief; how similar this scene was.

More than a decade ago, the same scene had occurred in the Chen Kingdom.

That was a child, holding the Xuanyuan Sword, who killed tens of thousands of Chen Kingdom soldiers with one person and one sword, unstoppable.

Today, he had actually seen the Xuanyuan Sword and the tyrannical Golden Sword Qi once again.

The only difference was that the child from back then had grown up and become the invincible General Yuwen, a man who struck fear into everyone's hearts.

"Impossible, how could this villain appear here?" Chen Fu said.

On the other side, Tuoba Yu'er was emotionally agitated, her face full of fury, hating:

"Yuwen Tuo!"

Even if he turned to ash, she would never forget this villain who brought disaster upon the Tuoba.

Her father, the King, also died from severe wounds caused by Yuwen Tuo.

"Yuwen Tuo?" Chen Jingchou was confused; he knew he had a deep River of Blood feud with Yuwen Tuo, but he had never seen him before.

"That's right, he is the number one villain in the world, his hands stained with countless blood, notorious and infamous, the inhumane Yuwen Tuo," Tuoba Yu'er said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jingchou looked carefully; in fact, for a fleeting moment, he felt that Yuwen Tuo, clad in Golden Battle Armor and riding a giant Dragon, was truly majestic and possessed such Haki, as if he were the only one who reigned supreme?

He even imagined himself in that position; if he were dressed like that, everyone on Fumo Mountain would surely be proud of him.

However, this thought lasted only for an instant, and Chen Jingchou shouted:

"So it is the scoundrel Yuwen Tuo; I will make him pay for the blood feud of the Chen Kingdom."

Yuwen Tuo stood in mid-air, looking down at everything below with indifference, and said:

"Chen Fu, after all these years, you are still so pathetic. Sigh, you truly disappoint me. You cannot even deal with a tiny Taotie."

"Yuwen Tuo, what are you here for?" Chen Fu questioned.

"What else could it be? Hand over the divine artifact, and perhaps I can save your lives," Yuwen Tuo said.

"Even if I die, I will never hand it over," Chen Fu said with righteous indignation.

"As expected, he never visits without a reason. This guy never acts without profit; he is here for the Ancient God divine artifact," Tuoba Yu'er said.

"That's right, even if we die, we will not hand over the divine artifact," Chen Jingchou responded loudly.

"Yuwen Tuo, don't listen to them. The Kunlun Mirror is in my hands; as long as you kill the Taotie, I will give the divine artifact to you."

Tuoba Yu'er, however, acted like a Diliu; at a time like this, what was the point of talking about integrity and dignity? Only by staying alive could one turn the tables.
