Chapter 714: Wuxia: Even Archrivals Can Become Lovers 48

Fu Zhiyuan frowned tightly; just thinking that this person's blood flowed through his body made him feel sick all over.

You're dreaming!

It was like a command.

【4> Everyone immediately started to act.

Everyone immediately began to act.

The old man's target remained Fu Zhiyuan; he was determined to make him the sacrifice.

Seeing so many people surrounding him, Jin Chen didn't rush to attack; he quietly went to look at the blood pool behind them.

The blood in the pool had gathered, and strange sigils were etched around it; this must be the spirit platform used for the sacrifice.

However...

He crouched down, pondered for a moment, and felt he had seen it somewhere before.

His mind kept recalling the original owner's memories, finally lingering on one memory scene.

The last page of the Blood-Colored Begonia secret manual.

His mouth twitched.

Huaizhi, I know why the Earth Evil people's minds are so muddled and unclear.

What's wrong? Mu Huaizhi asked.

The Blood-Colored Begonia was written by the founding sect leader of Nine Abyss, and it's because of this technique that Nine Abyss came to be called a demonic sect.

Jin Chen traced the sigils with his fingertips, explaining to Mu Huaizhi.

But actually, if one cultivates the Blood-Colored Begonia from childhood and keeps the mind steady without deviating into demonic deviation, it's no different from other arts.

The Earth Evil folks probably got hold of an unaltered secret manual, even tampered with its most vital part for stabilizing the mind, and somehow cultivated themselves into this ghoulish state.

Mu Huaizhi listened seriously and then asked, "What about the sacrifice, then?"

Because the last page of the manual once mentioned it, but later it was abolished as too cruel—yet they still uphold it as a model.

Jin Chen felt utterly unwell.

Does the Earth Evil Palace not have its own secret manual? Why are they cultivating the discarded Nine Abyss manual!

Don't you two keep researching! Come help!

Fu Zhiyuan shouted, his shoulder already injured; Fang Xun blocked a strike for him, his face grim.

This person's moves are too strange.

With so many of us, we still couldn't find a flaw in his technique.

Jin Chen and Mu Huaizhi immediately joined the fight.

With their participation, the old man's assault lost some of its ferocity; his technique was tricky, so Jin Chen used an even stranger move.

For a moment, only Mu Huaizhi could engage; everyone else was gradually pushed back by his uncanny technique, unable to intervene.

No wonder the Young Master of Nine Abyss can rival Senior Brother Mu... his strength is incredible.

Someone sighed.

At this point, who would still think Jin Chen is colluding with Earth Evil!

That attitude basically amounts to wishing the Earth Evil Palace master would die soon!

Your Highness, what are you thinking? the guard asked, seeing the Second Prince deep in thought.

Their fate is truly remarkable.

The Second Prince laughed and shook his head.

Under the combined martial pressure of Jin Chen and Mu Huaizhi, the old man, despite his evil arts, gradually fell back.

But how could the leader of Earth Evil Palace be defeated so easily?

He gave a sinister grin, suddenly realizing, "Young Master of Nine Abyss... you should be very familiar with this technique."

Then you probably aren't familiar with this one.

Having said that, his body turned into solid black mist, which instantly formed a huge skull behind him, its jaws opened toward the crowd.

In that instant, the person targeted dropped to one knee, clutching his chest in disbelief.

Inner strength...

His inner strength was draining away!

Jin Chen's expression shifted slightly; he grabbed Mu Huaizhi and pulled back, thus avoiding the attack.

Everyone, get out!

He shoved the boy who was held in place by the black mist.

Th-thank you.

The boy obviously hadn't expected Jin Chen to help him; his companions pulled him away while he clutched his chest.

What...

The old man looked as if he'd gone mad.

Really infuriating.

Jin Chen's tone turned harsh; he'd lost all patience with him.

Soon only the two of them remained in the cave; Jin Chen was deeply dissatisfied with the old man's actions that had nearly harmed Mu Huaizhi.

Who exactly are you! Jin Chen... I've investigated, and you simply don't have this kind of strength!

The old man roared in anger.

Too much nonsense.

Jin Chen dropped all pretense, his form flickering; he instantly appeared before the old man, his true energy surging and erupting with astonishing power.

No! No! No!

The old man finally began to panic, unable to believe he would be killed by a yellow-haired brat.

Even if they do it again, unwilling as they may be, they ultimately cannot escape.

Jin Chen dispelled the black aura, speed like lightning, he struck with a palm, invisible force generated from his palm, instantly penetrating the old man's heart.

He narrowed his eyes, coldly gazing at the person on the ground with wide eyes, about to breathe his last.

"Do you want to know who I am?"

His eyes moved like a child's, seemingly seeking an answer so he could die with clarity.

Jin Chen suddenly laughed, his tone extremely vicious.

"I won't tell you."

"Ugh—"

The old man couldn't catch his breath, and ended up being suffocated to death.

"【……I thought you would say something earth-shattering.】"

"【You really overthought it.】"

0731 snorted.

Jin Chen thought for a moment, and a long sword appeared in his hand.

Everyone waited anxiously outside, but didn't hear how fierce it was inside; puzzled, they then saw Jin Chen finally come out.

He was still holding a head in his hand…

He was actually holding the same head!!!

"He! He died?!"

Such a powerful Earth Fiend old man died just like that!

This Jin Chen... is far more formidable than they imagined.

The Second Prince's mouth twitched: "After all these years, you still haven't changed that bad habit!"

Jin Chen laughed, and handed the head to his Nine Nether subordinate beside him.

"Thank you for the praise."

He took Mu Huaizhi's hand with his clean hand, seeing him dazed, he rubbed his head.

"What are you thinking about?"

Mu Huaizhi just shook his head, then flung himself into Jin Chen's embrace.

He just felt himself becoming more and more timid.

Even though he knows Jin Chen's strength, he still worries.

"【Detected Villain Blackening Value -10! Total 5!】"

"【Detected Villain Heartthrob Value +5, total 90!】"

After the people brought the head back outside the cave, the Crown Prince then arrived late with his entourage.

Even his clothes were disheveled, as if he had just come out of a carefree nest.

"Yo, older brother Prince."

The Second Prince stepped forward, looked at the Crown Prince's obviously unpleasant complexion, and took out something from his sleeve to show him.

"Guess what I found in the cave, Your Highness?"

In his hand was clearly the token representing the Crown Prince's identity.

"Colluding with the demon faction, embezzling official funds to privately raise a special force, the Crown Prince's position probably won't last long."

The Second Prince laughed, and waved his fingers.

In an instant, many guards rushed out from the thicket, surrounding the Crown Prince and his entourage.

"Even the Noble Consort can't protect you, and neither can the General."

"The bitterly cold northern lands have been prepared; we're just waiting for you to go."

The Crown Prince's long spear fell to the ground; he realized everything was exposed, unable to turn the tide.
