C624 The Oriole Was at the Back
"Hmm? What do you mean? " Zhang Zhen asked.
"Because the two Senior Brothers Zhao Ran and Xu Ling, who had acted to save me, didn't tell me that someone from their sect would come and help me!" Chen Yu said, "If you are here on the orders of Sect Head Chu, why didn't you contact them? How could they not give me a hint when they save me? "
"So that's how it is!" Zhang Zhen's brows twitched as he said, "But, maybe they neglected the two of them? Or maybe they didn't know I was there to pick you up? "
"There is indeed such a possibility!" Chen Yu said, "But so what? For the sake of his own life, he couldn't be too careful. Even if I am mistaken, you are truly a Ruling Spirit Sect disciple. You should be letting me leave now, but you are luring away the pursuers for me. Furthermore, if I remember correctly, the direction you're traveling on your sword is not towards the Ruling Spirit Sect! "
"That makes sense!" Zhang Zhen laughed involuntarily and nodded, "Then why do you think I'm a cloaked man?"
Chen Yu said expressionlessly, "You hid it well, I was only guessing based on intuition. After all, where did all these Devil Sect come from to cause wind and rain? "
Clap clap, Zhang Zhen clapped. He did not deny nor admit that he was the cloaked man but instead praised him: "Although this reasoning is crude, it hit the nail on the head. It can be said to be amazing. Chen Yu, if you don't die, you will be able to stand at the peak of the Southern Wasteland after thirty years. I can't help but want to recruit you again! "
With his handsome face, clear voice, and praising tone, Zhang Zhen appeared to have an elegant demeanor and an extraordinary bearing.
Chen Yu, however, frowned. Zhang Zhen spoke calmly after stopping him. There was no impatience in his expression, as if he didn't care that time was wasted like this. This was definitely not a good thing for Chen Yu.
"Unfortunately, Chen Yu, I can't reject you. You've already refused me once!" Zhang Zhen said indifferently, "Therefore, I will not recruit you anymore. As long as you don't die, I will still kill you in advance! "
"It really is you!" If the previous judgement that Zhang Zhen was the cloaked man was only a guess, then now it was confirmed by him, "You are really lurking in the Langya Sword Sect, it's laughable that Zuo Hsingzhou and Tu Jin claimed to be smart, yet was played around with in the palm of their hands!"
"Zuo Hsingzhou and Tu Jin are not stupid!" Zhang Zhen said, "It's just that this is the pattern they have. They are destined to become pawns. On the other hand, Chu Tianshu of your Ruling Spirit Sect is better off than Yue Yang, but he is merely trying to live through the cracks! "
Pausing for a moment, Zhang Zhen continued: "Time is up, there's no point delaying any longer. It's time for me to experience the might of Myriad Law Sect's number one sword spirit!"
Saying that, Zhang Zhen's domain rose up, and a thick Spiritual Dipper shot out towards Wu Tie like a waterfall.
Chen Yu had been on his guard against Zhang Zhen. Zhang Zhen's aura fluctuated and he quickly retreated. The Soul Devouring Sword Spirit had already been slashed out.
Zhang Zhen smiled and patted the Storage Bag. A grey object flew out and at the same time, his other hand made a grasping motion.
Zhang Zhen's field immediately changed as he faced the Soul Devouring Sword Spirit, bursting out with a dazzling brilliance.
whoosh, the Soul Devouring Sword Spirit pierced into the field. Its speed decreased a bit, but it was still peerlessly fast, weirdly and tyrannically.
"It's indeed very strong!" A beam of spiritual light, which was purple in color and condensed into a solid form, shot towards the Soul Devouring Sword Spirit like a purple lightning bolt from Zhang Zhen's body.
The two sword spirits clashed and Zhang Zhen's purple sword spirit was bounced back. Even in his domain, the light in his eyes dimmed for a moment.
Zhang Zhen waved his hand and the domain contracted. The resistance within the domain increased, causing the resistance of the Soul Devouring Sword Spirit to increase exponentially once again.
Chen Yu formed a sword technique, causing the aura of the Soul Devouring Sword Spirit to change, as if it was going to rule over the entire world.
The compressed aura in the field immediately weakened and the Soul Devouring Sword Spirit's speed increased as it quickly stabbed towards Zhang Zhen's face.
However, Zhang Zhen still maintained his smile.
Chen Yu couldn't help but feel uneasy.
After killing his way out of the Sword Spirit Tower, Chen Yu was already aware of the strength of the Soul Devouring Sword Spirit. Thus, when facing Zhang Zhen, he was not really afraid.
Chen Yu was not very clear about Zhang Zhen's strength, but it was estimated that he was only at the peak of the sixth level of Profound Dark Stage, and would not exceed the eighth level of Profound Dark Stage. If Zhang Zhen reached the eighth level, then Zhang Zhen would not have to be afraid of any experts of the Sword Sect chasing him!
And amongst the Sword Sect experts Chen Yu had killed today, there were no lack of Middle Period of the Profound Dark Stage experts, there were even one or two late stage Profound Dark Stage experts. Of course, that was when the Soul Devouring Sword Spirit was at its strongest. The current consumption of Soul Devouring Sword Spirit was also extremely dramatic, and it no longer had the power that Chen Yu had when he killed the Sword Spirit Tower.
It was impossible for Zhang Zhen to not know the power of Soul Devouring Sword Spirit and Star Soul. Even though he knew that many Sword Sect experts had died beneath the Soul Devouring Sword Spirit, he was still as calm as ever.
As Chen Yu's thoughts spun, his gaze suddenly focused. The light that Zhang Zhen had just retrieved from the Storage Bag soared as runes flowed in his mind, exuding a powerful aura as deep as the abyss.
The shape of that thing also caused Chen Yu's pupils to constrict. He immediately summoned his Soul Devouring Sword Spirit and drove it away.
However, it was already too late. Just as the Soul Devouring Sword Spirit was about to change directions, the object in Zhang Zhen's hand had already flown up, releasing an intense light. A kind of pulling and sealing force exploded out, enveloping the Soul Devouring Sword Spirit.
The object was a long strip, it was a Sword Box, with runes revolving on it, like a chain.
When the Soul Devouring Sword Spirit tore apart the domain, the Sword Box had already flown over and landed inside the Soul Devouring Sword Spirit's barrier.
Chen Yu immediately felt that the Soul Devouring Sword Spirit's aura was about to be isolated.
"Damn it!"
Back then, when they were in the Sword Spirit Pool, Bai Ying had released his Sword Box and took those last few strongest sword spirits before the Soul Devouring Sword Spirit did. At the same time, he wanted to take the Soul Devouring Sword Spirit as well. That scene was still fresh in Chen Yu's memory.
Bai Ying's bronze Sword Box was a Divine Artifact!
Although Zhang Zhen's Sword Box was not as good as Bai Ying's Sword Box, but it could be seen that its use was the same.
This was Zhang Zhen's trump card.
Just as the Soul Devouring Sword Spirit was about to be taken away, it suddenly trembled and turned into a cloud of fine feathers that scattered.
Swoosh. The Sword Box descended, and the descending runes swallowed half of the tiny sword feather that was formed by the Soul Devouring Sword Spirit. Only a small half escaped.
The Star Soul whizzed over and clashed with it. Zhang Zhen's eyes flashed, he raised his hand, and suddenly shot out three grey beads, flying towards the Star Soul.
The pearl was dim and inconspicuous, but it contained a rich yin aura, giving Chen Yu a very familiar feeling.
Boom boom boom boom, just as the three beads were about to collide with the Star Soul, they suddenly exploded, causing intense Yin Qi to explode.
Chen Yu felt his soul shake as the painful idea of a Star Soul appeared in his mind.
"Chen Yu, although your Astral Spiritual Soul is profound, it's not worth mentioning to me!" Zhang Zhen laughed as he opened his mouth, and said: "Only those who have been living a peaceful life for a long time like Sword Sect will be helpless against you!"
Chen Yu was shocked and quickly recalled his Star Soul.
As for the Soul Devouring Sword Spirit that escaped, they merged into a black sword shadow in front of Chen Yu. They still looked like Broken Sword s, but their aura was at least half of their original, and a third of their length was shortened.
"Now, it's time to send you on your way. This time, you won't be so lucky! " A hint of ridicule flashed across Zhang Zhen's gentle eyes. He took a step forward and charged towards Chen Yu. The purple sword spirit flew into his hand and he swung out with his sword.
"Kill!" Chen Yu shouted angrily and activated his Star Soul.
Nearly eighty sword spirits moved at the same time, shooting towards Zhang Zhen like rain.
"It's just a last ditch struggle!" Zhang Zhen's eyes flashed with a golden light as the Sword Box flew up. Symbols circulated and a bright light appeared, forming a screen of light in front of him.
Shua shua shua, Chen Yu had no signs of life after the sword spirit of Sword Spirit Tower level 9 pierced into the light barrier, as if it had suddenly disappeared.
Chen Yu did not care about the sword spirits, he immediately turned around and ran when they stabbed.
If it was against experts of Sword Sect, Chen Yu still had a chance. Even if he risked his life, he could still pull one or two people down with him, but in front of Zhang Zhen, he was restrained to the point where he had no strength to fight back.
After the Soul Devouring Sword Spirit and the Star Soul did not threaten Zhang Zhen, Chen Yu, who was only at the fifth level of Spirit Accumulation Stage, could not even block a single move from Zhang Zhen.
"What a good magic tool!" However, at this moment, an old voice suddenly rang out. An enormous millstone hand descended from the air, covered in symbols. Scarlet flames circulated, as if it could burn through space, directly pressing down towards the light screen.
"Who?" Zhang Zhen's expression changed as he quickly urged his Sword Box to retreat and slashed out his sword spirit.
However, when the big hand pressed down, the flames revolved endlessly, directly burning the Sword Box light screen clean and grabbing the Sword Box.
Boom! The sword spirit slashed at the big hand but did not shatter it. Instead, it was infected by the scarlet flames and burned up. Its aura rapidly weakened and it quickly retreated without leaving a single trace of its sword intent.
"Remnants of Demon Tao!" That old voice humphed coldly and a vast pressure came crashing down. A burning scarlet rainbow light flew out and shot towards Zhang Zhen.
Zhang Zhen's purple sword spirit finally extinguished the tainted flames and returned into Zhang Zhen's body. As the scarlet light flew away, Zhang Zhen immediately turned around and ran.
However, the red sword rainbow was even faster.
Zhang Zhen controlled his domain crazily to block it. The Spiritual Dipper in the domain were like a tide that encompassed everything, turning into weapons and becoming extremely condensed.
However, it was still useless. The domain was torn apart by the scarlet rainbow sword light, and the Spiritual Dipper was unable to obstruct it in the slightest.
The difference in strength undoubtedly manifested.
A trace of fear flashed across Zhang Zhen's eyes. He clenched his teeth, opened his mouth and spat out a dark grey bead.
The moment the black pearl was spat out, it immediately let out a mournful howl, as if there were countless souls complaining about it.
Boom! The grayish-black pearl struck the sword rainbow and it suddenly exploded. Amidst the terrifying shockwaves, all the plants and soil within a radius of thirty meters were turned into dust with the point of collision as the center.
"Dao Hong!" Zhang Zhen's body flew into the air as he vomited blood. While flying, he saw a figure hovering in mid-air. He clenched his teeth and shouted angrily, but he did not stop and turned into gray smoke and disappeared into the distance.
The scarlet sword rainbow was also shattered by the collision, leaving behind traces of its inextinguishable flames. After it landed, it continued to burn vigorously.
Chen Yuzheng was running madly. Hearing Zhang Zhen's angry shout, his heart shook!
