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

Chapter 84 The God King in White!

Xiao Chen no longer hesitated, and the spiritual power in his body surged out. A long sword shining with golden light condensed in his hand. Lightning light was swirling around the sword body, and it made a buzzing sound.

"kill!"

He roared and rushed towards the man in black armor first. The golden sword light was like lightning that cut through the night sky, instantly splitting the man in black armor into two halves.

"boom!"

However, the black-armored man who was split in half did not fall down, but instead strangely reassembled himself and continued to pounce on Xiao Chen.

"What?!" Xiao Chen was shocked. These black-armored men were so difficult to deal with!
At the same time, Jiang Huairen, Li Heishui and Wu Zhongtian also joined the battle and engaged in fierce fighting with the black-armored men.

Inside the Treasure Pavilion, there was chaos as swords flashed and spiritual energy surged.

"Report! City Lord, the Treasure Pavilion was attacked by unidentified enemies!"

In the Immortal City Lord's Mansion, a guard ran in hurriedly to report.

"What?!" City Lord Li stood up suddenly, his face changed drastically, "Call all the experts immediately and follow me to the Treasure Pavilion!"

City Lord Li was extremely anxious. The Treasure Pavilion was the most important commercial center of the Immortal City. If it was destroyed, it would deal a huge blow to the economy of the Immortal City.

The masters of the Immortal City quickly gathered and rushed towards the Treasure Pavilion in a mighty force.

The black-armored leader grinned and commanded the black-armored men to launch a crazy attack on the fairy city.

Under the fierce attack of the black-armored men, the defense formation of the fairy city creaked under the heavy burden, as if it would collapse at any time.

"what!"

A civilian who failed to dodge was killed by the man in black armor with a single blow. The blood splattered on the street, which was shocking to see.

Panic spread among the crowd, people fled in all directions, and cries and screams echoed throughout the fairy city.

"Damn it! Who are these guys from?" Xiao Chen thought anxiously while resisting the attacks of the black-armored men.

The big black dog suddenly exclaimed: "Woof! I understand! These guys' actions seem to be controlled by some force!"

"Control?" Xiao Chen's mind moved, "Could it be..."

He carefully observed the actions of the black-armored men and found that although their attacks were fierce, they lacked flexibility. They were like puppets, mechanically repeating the same movements.

"If we can find the key to controlling them, perhaps we can find a way to break the deadlock!"

At this moment, a white-bearded old man suddenly appeared in front of everyone. He was holding a whisk, with an immortal look and extraordinary bearing.

"I am here to lend you a hand!" said the white-bearded old man in a deep voice.

With the addition of the white-bearded old man, the situation on the battle suddenly changed.

The white-bearded old man was experienced and could see the black-armored man's weakness at a glance.

"Their weakness lies in the black runes on their bodies! As long as these runes are destroyed, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced!" The white-bearded old man reminded loudly.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately turned their attacks to the black runes on the black-armored man.

Sure enough, when the rune was destroyed, the black-armored man's movements became slow and his combat effectiveness dropped significantly.

"Haha, so that's how it is!" Xiao Chen was overjoyed and swung the sword in his hand more fiercely. Flashes of golden light appeared, destroying the runes on the black-armored man one by one.

The balance of the battle gradually tilted towards Xiao Chen and others...

"Damn it! What's going on? Why did these guys' strength suddenly weaken?" The black-armored leader realized that something was wrong and his face became terribly gloomy.

He suddenly raised his head and looked towards the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion, a fierce look flashing in his eyes, "Looks like it's time to get serious..."

The black-armored leader let out a shrill scream and formed a strange mark on his chest with his hands.

The earth trembled violently, and the floor of the Treasure Pavilion cracked inch by inch. A thick darkness like ink gushed out from the cracks, instantly swallowing up Xiao Chen, the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi, the big black dog, Jiang Huairen and the white-bearded old man.

The world seemed to be kneaded and distorted by an invisible giant hand.

Xiao Chen felt dizzy, his ears filled with the whistling wind and the terrified shouts of his companions.

When everything returned to calm, they found themselves in a completely enclosed black space. The air was as heavy as lead, making it difficult to breathe.

An invisible pressure came from all directions, as if to crush them into powder.

The jade sword in the hands of the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi made an uneasy humming sound, and the cold air around the sword became thinner.

The big black dog's hair stood on end, it whimpered softly, and paced restlessly on the ground.

"Woof! What the hell is this place? My nose seems to be malfunctioning!" Jiang Huairen clenched the long sword in his hand, the blade trembled slightly, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead.

Xiao Chen gritted his teeth, and the spiritual power in his body circulated frantically, trying to resist this powerful pressure.
But he was surprised to find that the spiritual power in his body was dissipating at an alarming rate, as if it was being swallowed by the darkness.

"Oh no, this space is absorbing our spiritual power!" The white-bearded old man had a solemn expression on his face. He waved his whisk lightly, and a white light flashed by, but it was like a drop in the ocean, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

"Are... we all going to die here?" The voice of the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi trembled, and for the first time, a look of fear appeared in her cold eyes.

The black-armored leader's voice echoed from the darkness, whispering like a demon from hell: "Enjoy this despair! Your lives will become the source of my strength!"

Xiao Chen raised his head suddenly, his eyes burning with unyielding anger.

"Want to devour my power? That's not that easy!"

He grabbed the cold hand of Yao Chi Saint and said in a deep voice, "Don't be afraid, I will definitely take you out!"

Xiao Chen could feel the hand of the Saintess of Yao Chi, cold and trembling.

"Am I really going to die here?" Jiang Huairen's voice trembled with a hint of unwillingness.

He held the long sword tightly in his hand, and the blade hummed, but it sounded like the cry of a dying man.

The big black dog stopped barking and just whimpered softly, like a frightened child.

The white-bearded old man's face was even paler, his whisk hung down weakly, his eyes full of despair.

At this moment, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in the darkness.

The light was as faint as a firefly at first, but it expanded at an astonishing speed, tearing apart the surrounding darkness.

A glimmer of hope ignited in everyone's hearts, but they didn't dare to believe it.

Could it be an illusion?

Is it a last gasp?
The light faded away, and the white-robed God King Jiang Taixu appeared out of thin air in front of everyone.

He has white hair and a youthful face, with fluttering clothes, as if he is an immortal walking out of a scroll.

He just stood there quietly, but like a towering mountain, giving people an unshakable sense of security.

"Don't panic, I have been observing in secret." The voice of the God King in white was gentle, but with an unquestionable majesty.

He waved his sleeves lightly, and the darkness that bound everyone receded like a tide. Their breathing became smoother and their spiritual power stopped being lost.

"Senior..." Xiao Chen spoke first, his heart filled with gratitude
The God King in White stroked his beard, his eyes deep, "I just can't stand the despicable behavior of these villains." The words of the God King in White shocked everyone.

The "scoundrels" he mentioned were naturally referring to those mysterious men in black armor.

Could it be that he knows something?
As if seeing through everyone's thoughts, the White-Robed Divine King continued, "Those black-armored men are merely puppets controlled by others. Their goal is some treasure in the Immortal City."

"Treasure?" Xiao Chen's heart moved. Could it be related to the ancient books and treasures they were searching for?
"Indeed," the White-Robed Divine King nodded, "That treasure is inextricably linked to the ancient books and treasures you are seeking."

These words exploded in Xiao Chen's heart like thunder.

It turns out that all this is not a coincidence!
The ancient books and treasures they were looking for were actually coveted by other people!

And those men in black armor are nothing but pawns in the hands of the other side!
At this moment, a roar came from outside the crack in the black space: "Who is it? How dare you ruin my good deeds!"

The Black Armored Leader! He's not dead yet!
Everyone's heart tightened, and before they could react, they saw the figure of the God King in white flash and appear outside the crack.

Immediately afterwards, a scream was heard, and the black-armored leader was carried in by the white-robed God King like a chicken.

"Tell me! Who ordered you to do this!" The White-robed God King spoke in a cold tone with a hint of murderous intent.

The black-armored leader was trembling all over. Under the pressure of the white-robed God King, he did not dare to hide anything and told all the information about the mastermind behind the scenes.

It turns out that the mastermind behind this is an evil sect hiding in the dark. They are trying to gather the power of ancient books and treasures to realize their ambition of ruling the world of immortal cultivation.

Hearing this, Xiao Chen and the others felt a chill in their hearts.

They finally understood that what they were facing was a struggle concerning the fate of the entire world of cultivation!

"Thank you for your guidance, senior!" Xiao Chen bowed deeply.

The God King in white waved his hands, his figure gradually faded, and finally disappeared.

"It's time for us to go." Xiao Chen turned his gaze towards the crowd. "The crisis in the Immortal City has been resolved, but we must find the ancient books and treasures as soon as possible to stop the evil sect's conspiracy!"

"Brother Xiao, we will all listen to you!" Jiang Huairen was the first to stand up and express his support.

"Woof! I'm going too!" The big black dog also wagged its tail, indicating that it wanted to go on an adventure with Xiao Chen.

The Saint of Yao Chi did not speak, but just stood silently beside Xiao Chen, with a complex light flashing in her cold eyes.

Xiao Chen looked at everyone, his heart filled with strength.

He turned around and took a deep look in the direction of the fairy city.

"Let's go." Xiao Chen said, "No matter what lies ahead, we will face it together."

As night fell, the trees lining the road seemed to transform into hideous figures, their twisted branches sticking out like skeletal fingers.

A sudden gust of wind roared through the valley with a mournful wail that sent chills down their spines.

The big black dog's hair stood on end and it let out a low growl.

As dusk fades into night, they stumble upon a deserted village, an unsettling silence hanging in the air.

There was no cheerful chatter, no flickering lights, only an eerie silence that fell over them.

Houses stood like hollow skulls, their windows gaping like empty eyes.

A chill colder than the approaching night enveloped everyone.

"I say, why is this place so weird?" The big black dog twitched his nose, looking uneasy. "I always feel like there's something unclean going on."

Xiao Chen didn't take it too seriously, as he was very skilled and courageous!

However, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi frowned slightly, as if she had noticed something.

Jiang Huairen gripped the weapon tightly in his hand and glanced around vigilantly.

The old village chief at the entrance of the village came up tremblingly, his weather-beaten face full of wrinkles.

"Everyone, where is this coming from?"

Xiao Chen clasped his fists and said, "Old man, we are just passing by and would like to stay for one night."

The old village chief hesitated for a moment and sighed, "Alas, this village has been abandoned for a long time. It's not clean! But... since you don't mind, please come in."

The group followed the old village chief into the village.

The village was unusually quiet, without even the chirping of insects or birds, which made people feel uneasy.

What's even more bizarre is that there are still a few houses in the village with lights on, but the lights are dim, as if they will go out at any time.

At night, Xiao Chen and his friends stayed at the old village chief's house.

The old village chief told them some legends about the village. It was said that this was once a prosperous village, but because it offended the mountain god, it became like this overnight.

"Mountain God?" The big black dog sneered, "Bullshit mountain god! I think someone is just playing tricks!"

Just then, a strange noise suddenly came from outside the window.

Immediately afterwards, several dark shadows broke in through the window, holding sharp blades, and rushed towards Xiao Chen and others.

"Be careful!" Xiao Chen shouted and pulled the Saint of Yao Chi behind him.

Jiang Huairen also stepped forward and stood in front.

Those black shadows were agile and ruthless in their moves, and they were obviously well-trained killers.

They were masked and their faces could not be seen clearly.

"Don't panic! Stand back to back and form a formation!" Xiao Chen's voice was steady and powerful, like a magic needle that stabilized everyone's mind.

Jiang Huairen was the first to respond. He moved and immediately stood back to back with Xiao Chen. He swung the long sword in his hand and made a sword flower, forcing back the assassins around him.

The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi followed closely behind. She was as light as a fairy from the Moon Palace. The jade flute in her hand emitted clear and cold notes, disrupting the assassin's rhythm.

Although the big black dog is cynical in daily life, he is decisive at critical moments.

It growled, got on all fours, and moved through the crowd like a cheetah, occasionally spitting out black rays of light to interfere with the assassin's actions.

"Damn it, a bunch of rabble, dare you act wild in front of me?" The big black dog's voice was filled with a hint of disdain, but his actions were extremely hard-working.

However, the assassins were numerous and well-trained, and their attacks were continuous like a tide, making it difficult to defend against them.

Although Xiao Chen and others fought hard, they still felt the pressure doubled.

"We can't go on like this, we must find a breakthrough!" Xiao Chen thought to himself.

While fending off the assassin's attacks, he observed the situation around him.

Suddenly, he noticed a detail: although the assassins cooperated well, they seemed to lack a core connection. Although their attacks were fierce, they seemed a little scattered.

"I know! There is a weakness in their formation!" Xiao Chen's mind moved, and he immediately thought of a way to break it.
