Talisman Emperor

Swoosh!

Chen Xi’s figure vanished into thin air at the same time that the Devil Spider attacked, and then he appeared at the Devil Spider’s abdomen.

A blood red ray of light flashed lightly, and then a perfectly straight cut appeared on its abdomen.

Bang!

In the next moment, its enormous body split apart at the center and crashed to the ground while dark red blood surged out and poured down.

He’d annihilated a Devil Spider at the Ninth Star Region Lord Realm with a single swing of his sword!

Jin Yunsheng’s eyes opened wide. He almost didn’t dare believe everything he’d seen. He killed it just like that? Wasn’t that a little too casual?

When he thought about how he’d almost been killed by it, yet Chen Xi had killed it with such ease, Jin Yunsheng couldn’t maintain his calm anymore.

Chen Xi couldn’t be bothered to care about what Jin Yunsheng thought, and he’d just immediately taken the Devil Spider’s treasures upon its death.

Swish!

A blood red glow surged from the Dao Calamity Sword, and it devoured all those treasures.

After that, Chen Xi didn’t hesitate to continue charging forward. From the beginning until the end, he hadn’t wasted his breath at all, and it was like he’d accomplish an extremely ordinary thing.

However, Jin Yunsheng who was following closely behind him couldn’t help but speak swiftly. “Fellow Daoist, are you... Chen Xi?”

Swoosh!

Chen Xi turned to glance at him, and it was just this glance that made Jin Yunsheng’s entire body tremble while that trace of a thoughts in his mind had been instantly discarded.

Jin Yunsheng hurriedly said, “Don’t misunderstand me, Fellow Daoist. You’ve saved my life, so I would naturally not choose to go against you.”

“That’s a correct choice.” Chen Xi spoke casually, and then he paid no further attention to Jin Yunsheng and charged forward.

He really is Chen Xi! Jin Yunsheng’s heart wasn’t calm at all. As one of the participants from the Divine Dao Protector Clans, Jin Yunsheng was naturally clearly aware that Chen Xi was a special existence right now. It wasn’t just the participants of the five high level clans that had taken him to be a thorn in their side, even the participants of the other clans had received secret orders to kill Chen Xi.

It was even to the extent that Jin Yunsheng himself had been instructed by his seniors before joining the Battle of Dao Protectors that he should eliminate Chen Xi if he had the chance.

The reason they gave him was very simple. It was because Chen Xi was a Savior, an existence who was taken to be a heretic by the Heaven Dao. So, they naturally had to kill him as they were part of the Divine Dao Protector Clans!

Most importantly, the mission to eliminate Chen Xi had obtained the uniform agreement of the five high level clans and the Sovereign Sect, so anyone who killed Chen Xi would even be able to win a huge amount of rewards and glory for themselves and the clans that stood behind them.

Jin Yunsheng had originally thought that Chen Xi would definitely be an extremely vicious and evil person, and he’d even thought that he should definitely eliminate Chen Xi if he encountered Chen Xi.

Yet now, after he was saved by Chen Xi in a moment of life and death, Jin Yunsheng suddenly noticed that he couldn’t do it anymore.

Firstly, it was because Chen Xi had saved his life. Secondly, it was because he was clearly aware that it would be impossible for him to be a match for Chen Xi even if he were at his prime!

What should I do? Jin Yunsheng couldn’t help but feel dazed and at a loss for what to do when he thought about the instructions he received from his clan and the situation he was in right now.

“Where’re your companions? Or perhaps you can guide me to a safe area. You probably don’t want to follow me and charge through the enemy army while in a heavily injured state.” Chen Xi suddenly spoke from ahead, and it jolted Jin Yunsheng awake from his thoughts which were running wild. After that, complicated emotions couldn’t help but surge into his heart when he heard Chen Xi.

He merely met me by chance and saved me. We don’t even have a relationship. But this fellow still intends to escort me to safety after saving me. How could Jin Yunsheng not be moved when facing such a situation?

“The war will stop for a period of time in 6 hours from now. At that time, the experts from both sides will return to their respective camps to recuperate.” Jin Yunsheng spoke swiftly. He’d decided to take Chen Xi as a friend from the same camp and to pay no further attention to the instructions and arrangements of his clan!

Kill Chen Xi?

He owed Chen Xi his life!

“A campsite?” Only now did Chen Xi come to an understanding, and he nodded. “Alright, then we’ll persist for 6 more hours. Make the best use of your time to recover. You don’t have to pay attention to anything else.”

As he spoke, Chen Xi had swept through a group of enemies that surged over, and then his figure didn’t stop at all and continued forward.

“Alright!” After he made a decision, Jin Yunsheng’s entire body felt light. He stopped letting his thoughts run wild, and he followed closely behind Chen Xi while concentrating on recovering.

Jin Yunsheng was completely unaware that while Chen Xi seemed to be charging through the Dao Defiants all along the way, a trace of Chen Xi’s aura had been constantly observing him, and he would be mercilessly slaughtered if he acted rashly in the slightest.

Chen Xi couldn’t be blamed for being too cautious. It was actually because Chen Xi refused to believe any participant from the Divine Dao Protector Clans after he was stabbed in the back by Suoying Fu.

...

The slaughter continued, and the world was bathed in blood.

It wasn’t long before Chen Xi lent a hand again and rescued a participant who was in imminent danger. It was a graceful woman with snow white skin, violet pupils, crimson hair, and a rather cold appearance. However, her dress was tainted by blood and had many tears on it, causing her to seem to be in a rather embarrassing state.

The woman clearly heaved a sigh of relief when Chen Xi recused her, but her expression changed a little when she noticed Chen Xi’s appearance.

Chen Xi couldn’t be bothered to observer her reaction because he was in battle with a Sin Executioner at the Ninth Star Region Lord Realm right now.

That fellow’s vertical eye was extremely terrifying, and the silver radiance it emanated could even freeze space. Even with Chen Xi’s combat strength, his speed would still be affected to a certain extent upon coming into contact with it.

Moreover, this Sin Executioner was clearly much stronger when compared to the Stoneface Devil and Spider Devil that Chen Xi had killed just now.

Chen Xi exhausted quite a bit of effort before he pierced through the vertical eye on its forehead and put an end to its life.

The only thing Chen Xi felt regretful about was that the sin executioner didn’t carry any treasures, so the Dao Calamity Sword was naturally unable to absorb them to obtain the pure Divine Dao Laws that assisted the Pearl of Laws in its transformation.

“Let’s go.” Chen Xi glanced at Jun Yunsheng and the woman before he continued forward.

However, a mere moment had passed when Jin Yunsheng shouted furiously from behind. “What’re you doing!?”

Swoosh!

But it was very obvious that this shout was a step too late. At this moment, a completely round blade that seemed like a violet sun had already struck soundlessly towards Chen Xi’s back!

It was swift!

Extremely swift!

It seemed like a full moon that seethed with violet divine radiance, and its murderous and fierce aura caused space to be thrown into disorder.

The woman couldn’t help but reveal a wisp of excitement from her eyes as she watched all of this, and she even couldn’t refrain from licking her lips.

She hadn’t imagined that it would actually be Chen Xi who rescued her when she fell into a hopeless situation, but all of that was unable to change her resolution to kill Chen Xi!

Why?

It was very simple. Chen Xi was a Savior; he was a Heretic! So was there any reason not to kill him?

Not to mention that she wouldn’t just obtain numerous rewards upon killing Chen Xi, the five high level clans would even think highly of her. That was a rare opportunity to allow her and her clan to develop.

After all, as one of the clans within the Primal Chaos Origin, becoming stronger and larger could absolutely not do without the support of top-rate powers.

Obviously, the five high level clans conformed well to those requirements.

Chen Xi, don’t blame me for kill you. It’s your fault for being a Savior! Even if I don’t kill you, you’ll still become the prey of another, so isn’t it better for you to just let me benefit from it instead? Just die in peace. I’ll take your corpse back to the Chen Clan to be buried in order to repay you for saving my life.... The woman muttered in her heart while her entire body surged with indescribably excitement and happiness.

However, her expression changed a mere instant later because Chen Xi had actually vanished!

This made her almost doubt her eyes. But in the next moment, she heard a swish come from herself.

A strand of intense pain surged through her entire body. She couldn’t help but lower her head to have a look, and she saw a blood red tip of a sword sticking out of her chest while her blood was still dripping from its tip.

How could this have happened? She was dazed, and this became her final thought before death. After that, she crashed to the ground and transformed into one of the icy cold corpses on the battlefield.

Jin Yunsheng was standing at the back and witnessed all of this clearly. However, he hadn’t noticed when exactly Chen Xi had appeared by his side and when Chen Xi’s sword had pierced through her from behind.

He suddenly recovered from his shock when all of this came to an end, and he felt a chill run down his spine. He couldn’t help but think if he would suffer the same fate if he’d acted like she had just now.

When he thought of that, his entire body couldn’t help but shudder.

“Let’s go.” Chen Xi’s expression was calm and indifferent as before, and it was as if he’d done something that was extremely ordinary. It was even to the extent that he couldn’t be bothered to collect the treasures she left behind, and he just stepped on her corpse and continued forward.

‘Oh.” Jin Yunsheng felt as if he’d woken up from a dream and hurriedly followed after Chen Xi. However, his gaze towards Chen Xi carried a form of deep fear.

Along with the passage of time, Chen Xi killed 3 more Dao Defiants at the Ninth Star Region Lord Realm. As for enemies of the other realms of cultivation, they were simply innumerable.

The only thing that pleasantly surprised Chen Xi was that the Dao Calamity Sword had condensed another Pearl of Laws that carried a trace of the aura of Destiny.

Besides that, Chen Xi hadn’t been affected by the previous woman who attacked him from behind, and he’d successively rescued 7 more participants of the Divine Dao Protector Clans from the hands of the Dao Defiants.

Fortunately, none of them tried to act maliciously against Chen Xi again.

After an unknown period of time passed, the extremely heavy sound of a war drum suddenly resounded through the world.

At the same time, a strand of terrifying energy of the Heaven Dao descended from the sky, and it caused the hearts of both sides in the battle to tremble and stop fighting.

Everyone could clearly see a strand of seemingly material energy of the Order of the Heaven Dao transform into a curtain that descended onto Slaughter Highland and covered in completely.

At this moment, even Chen Xi felt an extremely oppressive aura, and it actually caused him to feel horrified and dare not act rashly.

“The time to stop and rest has finally arrived.” Jin Yunsheng heaved a long sigh of relief when he saw this, and he seemed like a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulder.
