Covering the sky: I have the body of the sky, and I have inherited the ten evil methods

Chapter 78 Hard Fight
He waved his hand, and powerful energy burst out, turning into black chains that pierced through Xiao Chen and the others.

Xiao Chen punched out, smashing the oncoming chain into pieces.

The big black dog was not willing to be outdone. He opened his mouth and sprayed out a formation pattern, forming a defense that blocked most of the chains.

Jiang Huairen brandished his long knife, smashing those fish that had escaped the net one by one.

However, the black-robed man's strength has been improved. He continuously summoned various monsters from the void and attacked Xiao Chen and others.

For a while, Xiao Chen and others were caught in a tough battle.

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded: "Stop!"

Immediately afterwards, a white figure floated over and stood in front of the man in black robe.

It’s the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi!

"Saint, what do you mean?!" The black-robed man's face changed, and there was a hint of anger in his tone.

Yao Chi Saint Goddess glanced at Xiao Chen with a complicated expression, then turned her head and said coldly, "I can't let you continue to make mistakes!"

"Continue to make mistakes? What did I do wrong? Everything I did was for our great cause!" the black-robed man roared.

"Great cause? What you call 'great cause' is to sacrifice countless lives to satisfy your own ambition?!" Yao Chi Saint asked sternly.

The man in black robe fell silent.

"Enough!" Xiao Chen interrupted their conversation coldly, "Saint, I don't care about the grudges between you two. I just want to know, whose side are you on now?!"

The Saint of Yao Chi raised her head and looked at Xiao Chen with a firm gaze.

"I...I stand on the side of justice!"

After saying that, she turned around suddenly and attacked the man in black robe.

"You...you actually betrayed me?!" The man in black robe was furious and immediately started fighting with the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen felt a little relieved.

He knew that the Saintess of Yao Chi was extremely powerful, and with her help, their chances of winning would greatly increase.

"Big Black Dog, Huairen, let's go! Destroy that core together!" Xiao Chen shouted and rushed towards the core of the conspiracy again.

However, just as they were about to reach the core, a figure suddenly appeared and blocked their way.

It’s the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi!
However, at this moment, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi had empty eyes and a dull expression, as if she was being controlled by someone.

"Saint, you..." Xiao Chen was stunned, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

"Hehehe... Xiao Chen, do you really think she will help you? Too naive! She's just a pawn in my hands!"

The black-robed man's voice sounded again, filled with endless ridicule.

"No..." Xiao Chen closed his eyes in pain.

At this moment, Yao Chi Saint suddenly raised her head and said in an extremely strange tone: "Xiao Chen, don't come over... Go away... This place... is very dangerous..."

After she finished speaking, her body shook violently and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Saint!" Xiao Chen exclaimed and rushed forward, trying to support her.

However, just as his hand was about to touch the body of the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi, a sharp sword energy suddenly attacked and pointed directly at his throat.

Xiao Chen's face changed and he quickly stepped back.

The sword energy missed, but left a deep scratch in front of him.

"Xiao Chen, be careful!" the big black dog exclaimed.

Xiao Chen raised his head and saw the Saintess of Yao Chi holding a long sword, her eyes red, approaching him step by step.

"Saint, you...what's wrong with you?!" Xiao Chen asked in pain.

The Saint of Yao Chi did not answer, but just waved her sword and launched a fierce attack on Xiao Chen.

Her swordsmanship was extremely sharp, and every move was aimed directly at the vital points, as if she wanted to put Xiao Chen to death.

"Damn, is this woman crazy?!" the big black dog cursed and hurried forward to help resist.

Jiang Huairen also gripped his spear tightly and engaged in a fierce battle with the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi.

However, the strength of the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi was too strong. Even if the three of them joined forces, they could not gain any advantage.

Xiao Chen was extremely anxious

"I must find a way to stop her!" Xiao Chen thought secretly in his heart.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a faint black gas surging between the eyebrows of the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi.

"That is..." Xiao Chen's heart moved, and he seemed to understand something.

He rushed forward and grabbed the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi desperately.

Finally, his hand touched the eyebrows of the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi.

At this moment, a powerful energy wave suddenly erupted, knocking Xiao Chen and the Saint of Yao Chi away at the same time.

The two men fell heavily to the ground, spitting blood and looking pale.

"Xiao Chen..." Yao Chi Saint Lady weakly called Xiao Chen's name.

"Saint..." Xiao Chen also responded with difficulty.

The two looked at each other,

Suddenly, the body of the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi shook violently, and a mouthful of black blood gushed out.

Then the emptiness in her eyes disappeared, replaced by clarity and pain.

"I...what's wrong with me?" she asked puzzledly.

Xiao Chen quickly helped her up and asked with concern: "Are you okay?!"

Yao Chi Saint Maiden shook her head and said, "I... I seem to be controlled... I... I'm sorry..."

After saying this, she spat out blood again and passed out.

Xiao Chen hugged the Saint of Yao Chi tightly, his heart filled with guilt and heartache.

"Damn it!" He roared, suddenly raised his head and looked at the man in black robe.

"You...you actually dared to hurt her?! I will never let you go!" Xiao Chen roared, his voice full of murderous intent.

The black-robed man smiled coldly and said, "Xiao Chen, you can't even protect yourself right now, and you still want to save her? How ridiculous!"

After saying that, he suddenly waved his hand, and a black energy wave swept towards Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen did not dodge, but concentrated all his strength on one point and hit the energy wave hard.

"boom--"

With a loud bang, the energy wave was dispersed by Xiao Chen, but Xiao Chen also suffered a huge impact and his body involuntarily retreated.

"Xiao Chen, are you okay?!" The big black dog hurried forward to support him.

"It's okay!" Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "Big Black Dog, Huairen, let's go together! We must kill this guy today!"

"Okay!" Big Black Dog and Jiang Huairen responded in unison, and the three of them rushed towards the black-robed man again. However, just as they were about to approach the black-robed man, he suddenly revealed a strange smile.

"Hehe... Do you think this is all I have?!"

After saying that, he waved his hand violently, and the ground at the core of the conspiracy suddenly cracked, revealing a bottomless black hole.

The man in black robe jumped into the cave.

"Want to run? Not that easy!" Xiao Chen roared and prepared to jump into the cave.

However, just as he was about to jump into the cave, an eerie and terrifying sound suddenly came from the cave.

"Xiao Chen, do you want to know the truth? Then come down... I'll be here... waiting for you..."

The sound suddenly stopped, leaving only endless darkness and unknown danger.

Big Black Dog and Jiang Huairen quickly grabbed Xiao Chen.

"Xiao Chen, don't be impulsive! There must be an ambush down there!" the big black dog advised.

"Yes, Xiao Chen! Let's take a long-term view!" Jiang Huairen also said.

However, the Saint of Yao Chi was still unconscious, and the man in black had escaped into the cave again, so he was really worried.

"I..." Xiao Chen hesitated.

"Don't worry, I will take care of the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi. You go down and take a look at the situation first." Suddenly, the white-bearded old man came over and said calmly.

"But..." Xiao Chen was still a little hesitant.

"It's nothing! Don't you still believe in me?!" The white-bearded old man glared at him.

"Okay!" Xiao Chen nodded helplessly.

"Big Black Dog, Huairen, you stay here to take care of the Saint. I'll go down and check out the situation!" Xiao Chen ordered.

"Don't worry, Xiao Chen! Leave this to us!" said the big black dog, patting his chest.

"Xiao Chen, be careful!" Jiang Huairen also said.

Xiao Chen nodded, then took a deep breath, jumped, and jumped into the bottomless cave.

He didn't know that deep in the cave, what was waiting for him would be an even more brutal battle and an even more shocking truth.

The white-bearded old man who remained in the hall looked at the cave entrance where Xiao Chen disappeared. A complex light flashed in his eyes, and he muttered to himself, "This game of chess...is getting more and more interesting..."

Xiao Chen shot towards the core like an arrow from a bow. The big black dog's array pattern turned into a roaring beast. Jiang Huairen's spear carried the force of thunder.
The three of them joined forces and launched an attack like a violent storm, smashing hard into the core that was constantly surging with evil aura.

The core trembled violently, emitting a teeth-grinding scream, like the wail of a dying beast.

The black gas rolled like boiling asphalt, emitting a sickening smell of sulfur that burned everyone's skin.

Finally, with a deafening crack, the core exploded and turned into spots of light all over the sky.
The distortion of space gradually subsided, and the stagnant air began to flow again, bringing a hint of coolness.

The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi slowly woke up, tears mixed with regret and fear soaking her cheeks.

She recounted the whole story in fragments: the black-robed man threatened the lives of everyone in the Yao Chi Holy Land and forced her to help him. She had been struggling in pain and suffering in her heart.

Her words were like a bolt of lightning, splitting the fog in everyone's hearts and solving all the mysteries.

It turns out that what the black-robed man coveted was the terrifying power contained in the treasure that could rule the entire world of immortal cultivation. He wanted to subvert the existing order and become the supreme ruler.

The white-bearded old man sighed and took out an ancient book from his arms. The book was engraved with ancient and mysterious runes and exuded a heart-pounding aura.

"This is the purpose of your trip." He handed the book to Xiao Chen, who took it solemnly.

The pages of the book felt cold to the touch, like jade. A strange power flowed into his body through his fingertips, making him shiver.

Everyone left the collapsed space and basked in the long-lost sunshine.

The big black dog suddenly stopped and sniffed the air with his nose. His eyes became strange. "Wait, this book... why do I smell..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly looked at the ancient book in Xiao Chen's hand, "Something's wrong!"

The sunlight poured down like a golden waterfall, washing away everyone's tired bodies.

Leaving the eerie and mysterious space, and feeling the warm sunshine and fresh air again, Xiao Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath, as if he wanted to absorb all the beauty in the world into his lungs.

However, the ancient book in his hand was like a piece of ice, sticking tightly to his palm and emitting an unsettling chill.

The white-bearded old man stroked his long beard, looked deeply into the distance, and said solemnly: "This book is of great importance and must not be shown to others lightly. I'm afraid that the situation outside is already turbulent."

His words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Xiao Chen understood that this ancient book, like a tempting piece of fat meat, would attract the covetousness of countless hungry wolves.

The big black dog twitched its nose and paced restlessly. It smelled a dangerous scent in the air.

"Woof! Boy, someone is following us sneakily. It's obvious that he is not a good person!" It lowered its voice and said to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen looked around calmly. In the seemingly peaceful forest, there were indeed several malicious gazes hidden.

The disciples of these small sects came like hyenas, smelling the blood and trying to get a piece of the pie.

"They are just a bunch of clowns, nothing to be afraid of." Xiao Chen sneered. He is not a pushover. If you dare to make a move on him, you will have to pay the price!
At the same time, in a dark forest, the mysterious man in black robe had a gloomy face. Although he had lost his power, he was not willing to accept failure.

He secretly contacted several forces that were in collusion with him, preparing to make another move to snatch the ancient books.

"Xiao Chen, do you think you won?" The man in black robe whispered with gritted teeth, with a crazy light flashing in his eyes.

The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi was also caught in a dilemma.

Her relationship with Xiao Chen and others caused dissatisfaction among some people within the Yao Chi Holy Land.

They were worried that the Saint of Yao Chi would affect the interests of the holy land because of her personal feelings, so they kept putting pressure on her to draw a clear line between herself and Xiao Chen.

"Saint, you must make a choice. Will you stand on the side of the Holy Land, or will you join forces with those people of unknown origin?"

A woman in a gorgeous robe spoke to the Saint of Yao Chi in a cold tone, her words full of warning.

The Saint of Yao Chi was in great pain. She knew that she was shouldering the mission of the holy land, but she also did not want to betray Xiao Chen and others.

She bit her lip, struggling internally, not knowing what to do.

Xiao Chen and the others continued to move forward, and the air around them became increasingly heavy, like the calm before a storm.

The big black dog kept growling, and it keenly felt that danger was approaching step by step.

"Boy, there are more and more minions. It seems that they want to wait for us to let our guard down and then rush over." The big black dog lowered his voice, his tone full of worry.

Xiao Chen's expression was solemn. "Prepare for battle!" he said in a deep voice, with a raging fire of war burning in his eyes.

At this moment, a black shadow fell from the sky and landed in front of Xiao Chen and others.

The shadow slowly raised his head, revealing a familiar face.

"Long time no see, Xiao Chen." The man in black robe laughed sinisterly, his voice as creepy as a poisonous snake.

"It's you!" Xiao Chen's pupils suddenly shrank, and a surge of anger surged in his heart.

He never expected that the man in black robe would appear again.
