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

Chapter 85 There is another mystery!

"Huairen, Saintess, follow my command!" Xiao Chen said in a deep voice, "Let's use a combined attack technique to strike at the center of their formation!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Huairen and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi immediately nodded.

Their trust in Xiao Chen is absolute, and no matter what decision Xiao Chen makes, they will execute it without hesitation.

The spiritual power in Xiao Chen's body began to circulate wildly.

He formed seals with his hands, and mysterious runes condensed in front of him, emitting dazzling light.

"The universe is reversed, yin and yang are reversed! Break it!" Xiao Chen shouted, and suddenly pushed out his hands. A huge energy wave whizzed out and bombarded the assassin's formation.

At the same time, Jiang Huairen also moved.

The long sword in his hand made a humming sound, and sharp sword energy broke through the air and poured down towards the assassin like a storm.

The sound of the jade flute of the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi also became rapid, and the sound waves cut through the air like sharp blades, disturbing the assassin's mind.

The attacks of the three people combined together to form a powerful force that instantly tore through the assassin's formation.

The assassins were caught off guard and were blown away, spitting blood and falling to the ground.

"Good opportunity! Charge out!" Xiao Chen shouted and rushed forward first.

Jiang Huairen and the Saint of Yao Chi followed closely behind. The three of them were like three sharp swords, tearing through the assassins' encirclement and rushing towards the depths of the deserted village.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the assassin leader's face suddenly turned ashen.

He didn't expect that Xiao Chen and others were so difficult to deal with. They were able to find the weakness of their formation and successfully break through the encirclement.

"We can't let them get away! Chase them!" The assassin leader roared and led the remaining assassins to chase Xiao Chen and others.

However, a big black dog blocked their way.

It swayed and instantly grew larger, blocking the assassin like a small mountain.

"Want to get through? You have to get past me first!" The big black dog grinned, revealing its sharp fangs.

The assassin leader's face changed. He knew that the big black dog's strength should not be underestimated. If he wanted to get through, he would probably have to pay a heavy price.

"Kill him!" The assassin leader roared and led the assassins to attack the big black dog.

The big black dog was not afraid at all. It was agile and could easily deal with the assassin's attack.

It waved its huge claws from time to time, knocking the assassins away one by one, and screams rang out one after another.

The assassin leader became more and more frightened as the battle went on. He found that he was no match for the big black dog.

If this continues, they will probably all die here.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" the assassin leader shouted, wanting to escape with the remaining assassins.

However, the big black dog did not give him this opportunity.

It moved and instantly appeared in front of the assassin leader, slapping him with its huge claws.

The assassin leader's face changed drastically. He wanted to dodge, but it was too late.

There was a loud "bang" and the assassin leader was slapped away by the big black dog's claw. He hit a big tree heavily, spitting blood from his mouth and dying.

"You... who are you?" the assassin leader struggled.

"You don't need to know who we are," the big black dog said coldly. "You only need to know that your mission has failed."

The big black dog snorted coldly, turned around and chased after Xiao Chen and the others.

Xiao Chen and others traveled quickly all the way and finally arrived at the center of the deserted village.

Here, they saw an ancient altar, on which was placed a magical instrument emitting a mysterious light.

This magical weapon has a strange shape, like a rotating nebula, emitting colorful light.

Its surface is engraved with mysterious runes, giving people a sense of mystery and antiquity.

"Is this the secret treasure of the deserted village?" Jiang Huairen looked at the magic weapon.

"Yes, this should be what we are looking for." Xiao Chen nodded, his eyes fixed on the magic weapon, feeling the powerful power contained in it.

"This magical weapon may be closely related to the ancient book and treasure." Yaochi Saint said, "We must take it away as soon as possible."

Just as everyone was about to take the secret treasure away, a cold voice suddenly rang out: "Everyone, I'm afraid you can't take this treasure away."

Everyone's expression changed and they immediately looked around vigilantly.

A man in a gorgeous robe walked out slowly, with a sinister smile on his face.

"Who are you?" Xiao Chen asked coldly.

"I'm just a businessman," the man said with a slight smile, "but I'm very interested in this treasure, and I hope you'll be willing to part with it."

"You mean, this treasure is yours?" Xiao Chen's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a sarcastic smile.

"Of course, I was the first one to discover this treasure, so it should naturally belong to me." The man said as a matter of course.

"Humph, that's ridiculous." Xiao Chen sneered and said, "This treasure is clearly right here. Whoever gets it first will own it. How can you make sense of what you said?"

"It seems that you are not going to resolve this peacefully?" The man's face darkened.

"A peaceful solution? What do you think we can discuss?" Xiao Chen said coldly, "We must obtain this treasure. If you want to get it, then come and get it with your ability!"

"If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink for it!" the man shouted angrily. A powerful aura emanated from his body, and an oppressive force instantly enveloped the entire deserted village.

"In that case, don't blame me for being rude!" the man laughed grimly.

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows, and a domineering aura arose spontaneously, as if the whole world would submit to him.

"Want to rob it by force? Then give it a try and see if you have the ability!"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Chen was already ready for battle. The spiritual power in his body surged like a rushing river, ready to strike a thundering blow to the invading enemy at any time.

Jiang Huairen held the long sword tightly in his hand, his eyes as sharp as torches, fixed on the merchant's every move.

The Saint of Yao Chi gently raised her jade hand, and wisps of cold air spread out from her body, causing the temperature around her to drop suddenly, as if the coldest time of the year had arrived in an instant.

The big black dog bared its teeth and let out a low growl from its throat, ready to pounce on the enemy and tear it into pieces at any time.

Seeing this, the businessman smiled grimly and was not in a hurry to take action.

"Haha, you are all outstanding people. I don't want to offend anyone. But this treasure is really destined to be with me, so I can only offend you!"

As he spoke, he took out a black jade talisman from his bosom and injected spiritual power into it.

Suddenly, the jade talisman shone brightly, and black shadows appeared out of nowhere, surrounding Xiao Chen and others.

These dark shadows all had a powerful aura, held sharp blades in their hands, and had fierce eyes. They were obviously well-trained warriors.

As soon as they appeared, they attacked Xiao Chen and others without saying a word.

The businessman had a smug smile on his face, as if he had already secured victory.

"Come on, leave no one behind!"

At the merchant's command, those shadow warriors rushed towards Xiao Chen and others like sharks smelling blood.

The flashing of swords and the sound of shouting instantly shattered the tranquility of the deserted village at night. Jiang Huairen bore the brunt of the attack, his long sword dancing like the wind. Sword energies crisscrossed the area, forcing back the shadowy warriors in the forefront.

"Come on!" Jiang Huairen shouted angrily, and the sword's momentum changed again, like a tiger descending from the mountain, instantly stabbing a black shadow warrior to the ground.

The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi had a graceful figure, like a fairy from the Moon Palace descending to the mortal world. She waved her jade hand lightly, and streaks of cold air turned into ice blades, hitting the weapons of the shadow warriors with precision.

"Dang dang dang!" The sound of metal clashing was heard, and the sharp blade in the black shadow warrior's hand was actually broken into pieces by the cold air.

The big black dog was even more ferocious. Its body was as fast as lightning, shuttling between the shadow warriors, waving its sharp claws, leaving streaks of blood.

It specializes in attacking the lower three routes, and from time to time it bites the crotch of the shadow warriors, making them scream in pain and greatly reducing their fighting power.

Xiao Chen was holding an unknown broken sword, the blade of which was covered in rust and looked inconspicuous.

But he was like a god of war possessed, his sword moved at will, and each sword contained terrifying power.

"boom!"

With a swing of the sword, he directly split the weapon of a shadow warrior into two pieces, and then kicked him in the chest, sending him flying.

The businessman stood in the distance, watching his men fighting with Xiao Chen and others, a sinister smile on his face.

He did not join the battle immediately, but instead locked his eyes on Xiao Chen.

He knew very well that as long as Xiao Chen was captured, the remaining people would not be a threat at all.

"Boy, your strength is indeed good, but you met me today, and you are destined to fail here!"

The businessman sneered, moved his body, and turned into a black shadow, rushing towards Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen was prepared. He dodged the merchant's attack with a flash of his body.

At the same time, he swung the broken sword in his hand suddenly, and a sharp sword energy rushed straight to the merchant's face.

The businessman's face changed. He didn't expect Xiao Chen's reaction to be so quick.

He quickly raised his hand to block, and with a "clang" sound, the sword energy hit his arm, making a muffled sound.

"Hmph, a mere trifle!" The businessman snorted coldly. He shook his arm and a powerful force surged out, knocking Xiao Chen back a few steps.

"Come again!" Xiao Chen roared, rushed forward again, and started a fierce fight with the businessman.

The two men fought back and forth, using fists, kicks, and swords, making the fight difficult to separate.

Although Xiao Chen is quite powerful, the businessman is, after all, an old and powerful man with rich experience and unfathomable strength.

Gradually, Xiao Chen began to fall into a disadvantage and some scars began to appear on his body.

At this moment, the businessman seized the opportunity and hit Xiao Chen in the chest with a palm.

"puff!"

Xiao Chen suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his body flew backwards.

"Boy, you're no match for me after all!" The merchant laughed triumphantly and walked slowly towards Xiao Chen. "Hand over the secret treasure, and I can kill you!"

Xiao Chen struggled to get up from the ground. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "You want a secret treasure? Dream on!"

"If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink for it!" The businessman's face darkened. He stopped talking nonsense and rushed directly towards Xiao Chen.

At this moment, a strange breath suddenly came.

Everyone followed the scent and saw a man in a gray robe standing not far away, quietly observing them.

The gray-robed man was hidden under his hood, and his face could not be seen clearly. Only his deep eyes could be seen, like the stars in the night sky, full of mystery and unpredictability.

The businessman's face became even uglier. He didn't expect that at this critical juncture, another figure would appear.

He didn't know whether the gray-robed man was a friend or an enemy, nor did he know what the purpose of his appearance was.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" the businessman asked warily.

The gray-robed man did not answer. He just stood there quietly, like a sculpture, motionless.

Xiao Chen and others also felt a little uneasy. They could feel that the gray-robed man exuded a powerful aura, which was even stronger than the businessman.

"Who is this person? Is he an enemy or a friend?" Jiang Huairen asked in a low voice, holding the sword tightly in his hand, ready to fight at any time.

The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi frowned slightly and shook her head, indicating that she didn't know the origin of the gray-robed man.

The big black dog bared its teeth and let out a low growl from its throat. It could feel that the gray-robed man was full of threats to them.

The merchant felt even more uneasy when he saw the man in gray robe remained silent.

His eyes rolled, and he suddenly said to the gray-robed man, "My friend, I am the president of the Black Wind Chamber of Commerce. May I know your name? If you are willing to lend me a hand, I am willing to share the secret treasure with you after the success!"

Hearing this, the gray-robed man finally raised his head.

He turned slowly and set his eyes on the businessman.

"Secret treasure?" The gray-robed man's voice was hoarse and low, like the cry of a night owl, making people feel creepy.

"I'm not interested in the secret treasure. I'm only interested in the fight between you two."

Upon hearing this, the businessman's face turned pale as paper.

He finally understood that the man in gray robe was not here to help him, but to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two tigers.

"Friend, what do you mean?" the businessman asked in a trembling voice.

The gray-robed man did not answer. He just looked at the merchant calmly.

Xiao Chen and others also realized that the appearance of the gray-robed man made the situation more complicated.

They must come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible to protect the secret treasure and deal with the threat of the gray-robed man.

Just as everyone was thinking about countermeasures, the gray-robed man suddenly raised his hand...

A sharp and fierce wind arose out of nowhere, stirring up a cloud of dust. Amidst the flying sand and rocks, the man in the gray robe moved.

There were no fancy moves, just a simple raising of his hand, and an invisible pressure pressed down on everyone like a mountain torrent.

The merchant was the first to be hit. He felt a tightness in his chest and a sweet and fishy taste in his throat. He stepped back several steps and looked at the gray-robed man in horror.

Even Xiao Chen felt his breath was choked, and the flow of Qi in his body became stagnant, as if an invisible hand was strangling his throat.

Both sides in the fierce battle were shocked by this sudden change. They stopped fighting at the same time and looked at the gray-robed man in surprise and suspicion.

He spoke slowly, his voice hoarse and low, like the friction of gravel, "You are short-sighted. You only know the surface of the secret treasure, but don't know its true mystery!"

The gray-robed man said something shocking, with a hint of mockery in his tone.

He waved his sleeves, and a gentle force dispelled the pressure on everyone, making them feel even more unfathomable.

"This secret treasure... has another secret?" The Saint of Yao Chi couldn't help but speak, her voice was cold, but with a barely perceptible tremor.

The big black dog whimpered and pawed the ground restlessly. It smelled danger keenly.

The gray-robed man did not answer immediately, but swept his eyes over the crowd, finally stopping on Xiao Chen. His deep gaze seemed to be able to see through everything.

He slowly extended a finger, pointing at the treasure that everyone was fighting for, "The real secret is far more complicated than you can imagine..."
