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

Chapter 88 Chaos Treasure
"Hmph, a mere trifle!" The black-robed envoy sneered, not taking the big black dog's magic formation seriously at all.

The dagger in his hand accelerated again, and like a poisonous snake, it stabbed towards Xiao Chen's vitals cunningly and fiercely.

"Saint, help me!" Xiao Chen shouted, retreated violently, and at the same time held the sword across his chest, trying to block the attack of the black-robed messenger.

The Saintess of Yao Chi understood what he meant, and with a slight movement of her jade hand, she injected gentle spiritual energy into Xiao Chen's body.

Suddenly, Xiao Chen felt the true energy in his body surging and his strength increased dramatically.

"Open it for me!" Xiao Chen roared, and the long sword in his hand burst out with brilliant light, forcing back the black-robed messenger's dagger.

"Huh?" The black-robed messenger exclaimed in surprise. He didn't expect that with the help of the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi, Xiao Chen could actually burst out with such powerful strength.

"Interesting!" The black-robed messenger licked his lips, a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes. "But the game has only just begun!"

The black-robed envoy flashed and launched another fierce attack on Xiao Chen.

He was faster and stronger, and each of his moves was aimed directly at Xiao Chen's vital points.

Xiao Chen did not dare to be careless and tried his best to resist the attack of the black-robed messenger.

The long sword in his hand danced like flying, turning into an impenetrable sword net that blocked all the attacks of the black-robed messenger.

However, the black-robed messenger was too powerful.

Even with the help of the Saintess of Yao Chi, Xiao Chen gradually felt overwhelmed.

His clothes were soaked with sweat and his breathing became rapid.

"This can't go on!" Xiao Chen was extremely anxious.

He knew that if they continued to waste time like this, they would sooner or later be exhausted to death by the black-robed messenger.

"Jiang Huairen, Lao Bai, what are you waiting for? Come on!" Xiao Chen shouted loudly.

Jiang Huairen and the white-bearded old man could no longer hold back. Upon hearing Xiao Chen's order, they immediately rushed forward and engaged in a battle with the black-robed envoy.

The spear in Jiang Huairen's hand was like a dragon emerging from the sea, brave and fearless, and every shot carried the power to split mountains and crack rocks.

The white-bearded old man was not to be outdone. His figure was erratic, and the whisk in his hand was waving. It seemed gentle, but it contained great power.

"A bunch of ants dare to block my way?" The black-robed messenger sneered, and the dagger in his hand flew, blocking all the attacks from Jiang Huairen and the white-bearded old man.

"Duan De, why are you still standing there? Do you want to die?" Xiao Chen yelled at Duan De who was trembling with fear.

Duan De was so frightened that he trembled all over and quickly waved the whisk in his hand and joined the battle.

With the addition of Jiang Huairen, the white-bearded old man and Duan De, the pressure on Xiao Chen and others was greatly reduced.

They worked together and fought fiercely with the black-robed messenger.

However, the black-robed messenger was too powerful.

Even when facing the siege of the crowd, he was still at ease and could fight back from time to time, causing considerable trouble to Xiao Chen and others.

"puff!"

With a dull thud, Jiang Huairen was unable to dodge and was scratched on the arm by the black-robed messenger's dagger. Blood immediately stained his clothes red.

"Jiang Huairen!" Xiao Chen exclaimed, and quickly waved his sword to drive back the black-robed messenger. Then he came to Jiang Huairen and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Jiang Huairen shook his head and said palely: "I'm fine, Brother Chen, be careful!"

Xiao Chen nodded, his eyes becoming more determined.

Now is not the time to care about Jiang Huairen. He must get rid of the black-robed messenger as soon as possible, otherwise, all of them will die here.

"Dahei, are you ready?" Xiao Chen asked in a low voice.

"Awoo! I'm ready!" The big black dog barked excitedly, its claws constantly scratching the ground, and more and more complex runes flew out from under its claws and merged into the magic circle.

Suddenly, the light of the magic circle became brighter, and an even more powerful energy wave spread out, enveloping the entire space.

"Go!" The big black dog growled, swung its claws violently, and the magic circle was activated instantly.

Dazzling rays of light shot out from the magic circle, piercing the black-robed messenger like sharp swords.

The black-robed messenger's face changed. He could feel that these lights contained powerful energy, enough to threaten his life.

"Damn it!" The black-robed messenger cursed angrily and quickly waved the dagger in his hand, trying to block the incoming light.

However, there was too much light, and the black-robed messenger could not block it all.

A ray of light brushed past his arm, and suddenly, a blood mark appeared on his arm.

"Ah!" The black-robed messenger let out a scream and retreated violently.

However, he was already injured and his strength was greatly reduced, so he was unable to block Xiao Chen's attack.

With a dull thud, Xiao Chen's sword pierced the black-robed messenger's throat, and blood gushed out immediately.

The black-robed messenger widened his eyes. He never thought that he would die at the hands of a young man.

"You...you..." The black-robed messenger opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but eventually fell to the ground powerlessly and died.

Xiao Chen drew out his sword, wiped the blood off the sword, then walked to the body of the black-robed messenger and began to search.

Soon, he found a torn map on the black-robed messenger.

"This is..." Xiao Chen looked at the map in his hand.
There were some strange symbols and marks on the map, which looked very ancient.

Xiao Chen studied it carefully and found that these symbols and marks seemed to be related to a treasure.

"Could this be the clue to the treasure map?" Xiao Chen's heart moved, and he quickly put the map away.

"Brother Chen, are you okay?" Jiang Huairen walked over and asked with concern.

Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "I'm fine, let's go!"

After saying that, Xiao Chen took Jiang Huairen and others and left.

Not long after they started walking, Yao Chi Saint suddenly stopped. She looked at Xiao Chen and said in a cold voice with a hint of solemnity, "Xiao Chen, this map... I'm afraid it will bring you great trouble."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Chen asked puzzledly.

Yao Chi Saintess sighed slightly and said, "The treasure pointed to by this map is not an ordinary thing. It involves some ancient secrets. If others know about it, I am afraid it will cause a bloody storm..."

"You mean..." Xiao Chen's expression turned serious.

"Be careful!" The big black dog suddenly bared its teeth and bared its teeth at the air.

Jiang Huairen and others immediately felt as if they were facing a great enemy and looked around vigilantly.

A hoarse voice suddenly sounded: "Haha, you already know something..."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a grey-robed man walking out from the darkness. He was covered in a grey robe, making it impossible to see his face.

Xiao Chen gripped the sword tightly in his hand, his eyes fixed on the gray-robed man, and asked in a deep voice, "What is your purpose?"

The gray-robed man didn't answer Xiao Chen's question, but instead let out a deep, gruesome laugh that seemed to come from the depths of hell. "Hand it over!" The gray-robed man slowly extended his hand, his voice hoarse and cold, as if announcing death.

Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed. He could feel that the gray-robed man in front of him was definitely an extremely dangerous existence.

"Want a treasure map? Then it depends on whether you have the ability to get it!" Xiao Chen snorted coldly, gripped his sword tightly, and prepared for a fierce battle.

The gray-robed man did not take action immediately. Instead, he said in a meaningful tone, "Young man, you are smart and brave, but... some things cannot be solved by courage alone..."

"Oh? Really?" Xiao Chen sneered and said, "Then we'll have to give it a try!"

The gray-robed man shook his head and sighed, "Forget it. Since you're so stubborn, don't blame me for being rude..."

Before he finished speaking, the gray-robed man suddenly moved. His speed was so fast that he almost turned into an afterimage. He appeared in front of Xiao Chen in an instant, and a skinny hand went straight for Xiao Chen's chest...

Xiao Chen only felt a flash before his eyes, and a strong pressure came towards him. He hurriedly raised his sword to resist, but he felt a huge force coming, and the sword in his hand almost slipped out of his hand.

"So strong!" Xiao Chen was shocked and quickly mobilized the true energy in his body to resist the attack of the gray-robed man with all his strength.

However, the gray-robed man was too strong, and even if Xiao Chen tried his best, he still felt powerless.

His clothes were soaked with sweat and his breathing became rapid.

"This won't work..." Xiao Chen was extremely anxious.

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

At this moment, the gray-robed man suddenly let out a muffled groan and his body swayed slightly.

"Hmm?" Xiao Chen's heart moved, and he looked up quickly, only to see that a bloodstain had appeared on the shoulder of the gray-robed man.

"Who is it?" The gray-robed man turned his head suddenly and looked into the darkness beside him.

In the darkness, a white figure slowly walked out. It was an old man with white beard.

"It's you?" The gray-robed man looked at the white-bearded old man.
The white-bearded old man smiled slightly. "I am not very talented, but I know a little bit about medicine. I just saw that your blood circulation was not smooth, so I helped you to clear your meridians. You don't have to be polite."

The gray-robed man looked at the white-bearded old man with a gloomy face.

"Hmph, you're so cruel!" The gray-robed man snorted coldly, then his figure flashed and turned into a wisp of black smoke, disappearing into the night.

"Want to leave? Not that easy!" The big black dog roared and was about to chase after him, but was stopped by Xiao Chen.

"Don't chase a desperate enemy." Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "The most important thing for us now is to find the treasure. We can worry about the rest later."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Saintess Yao Chi, you just said that this map will bring us huge trouble. What's going on?" Xiao Chen looked at Saintess Yao Chi and asked.

Yao Chi Saintess sighed slightly and said, "The treasure pointed to by this map is called the Chaos Treasure. It was left behind by a powerful person in ancient times. It is said that it contains earth-shattering power..."

"Chaos Treasure?" Xiao Chen's heart moved. He vaguely felt that the treasure pointed to by this map was definitely not a simple thing.

"Saint, do you know the whereabouts of this Chaos Treasure?" Xiao Chen asked.

Yao Chi Saintess shook her head and said, "I only know that this Chaos Treasure has been divided into several parts and scattered across the continent. To find it, you must collect all the map fragments..."

"All the map fragments?" Xiao Chen frowned. He didn't expect that finding the Chaos Treasure would be so difficult.

"However..." Yao Chi Saintess changed the subject and said, "I know something about one of the map fragments..."

"Where is it?" Xiao Chen asked hurriedly.

The Saintess of Yaochi opened her red lips and said something shocking, "The other part of the treasure map is hidden thousands of miles away from here—in the remains of a meteorite!"

"Meteorite ruins?" Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows slightly. He had never heard of this name before. It must be another dangerous place.

When the big black dog heard the word "relics", he immediately became excited, wagging his tail and drooling.

"Aww, the ruins are great! There must be treasures in the ruins! Maybe even a roast chicken!"

"There is no time to lose, let's set off immediately!" Xiao Chen made a prompt decision. He had a vague feeling that this meteorite relic was by no means simple, and any delay would lead to unexpected changes.

However, just as they were about to set off, the world suddenly changed!
The originally clear sky was instantly covered by thick dark clouds, and the oppressive atmosphere was suffocating.

The wind howled violently, blowing up the dust on the ground and making it impossible for people to open their eyes.

"Oh no! Something has happened!" Jiang Huairen gripped his spear tightly, as if facing a formidable enemy.

The experienced old man with a white beard had a serious expression on his face, stroking his beard. "This celestial phenomenon... I'm afraid it's a bad omen!"

"Boom!"

A deafening thunder broke through the sky, as if splitting the sky and the earth in half.

Immediately afterwards, raindrops as big as beans poured down, hitting everyone and making them feel freezing cold.

"Crack!"

Another flash of lightning illuminated the sky and earth as bright as day.

Only then did everyone realize that not far in front of them, a huge black vortex suddenly appeared, like an eye from hell, staring at them greedily.

"Is this... a space crack?" Yao Chi Saint Maiden exclaimed, her tone full of shock.

"Awooo... Oh no! This place is weird!" Even the fearless big black dog felt the danger, tucked its tail between its legs, and trembled.

"Haha, you want to leave? It's too late!"

A sinister and terrifying voice came from the black vortex, as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell, making people shudder.

Immediately afterwards, a huge black claw suddenly stretched out from the vortex, covering the sky and the sun, and grabbed towards Xiao Chen and others!

"Be careful!" Xiao Chen roared, drew out his sword, burst out all his true energy, and chopped fiercely at the black claw!

"boom!"

The long sword collided with the claws, making a loud noise.

Xiao Chen only felt an irresistible force coming, the long sword in his hand almost slipped out of his hand, and his body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string.

Xiao Chen fell heavily to the ground, spurting out a mouthful of blood, his face as pale as paper.

"Brother Chen!" Jiang Huairen and others exclaimed, rushed up and helped Xiao Chen up.

"I... am fine..." Xiao Chen shook his head, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes became more determined.

"Struggle, ants!"

A sickening laugh came from the black vortex.

Immediately afterwards, figures emerged from the vortex one after another and rushed towards Xiao Chen and others like a tide!

"Kill!" Xiao Chen roared, rushing forward first and engaging in a fight with those black figures...

Seeing this scene, the Saint of Yaochi frowned slightly. A sense of foreboding came over her. She murmured softly, "Could this be God's will?"
