Chapter 259 Taking Yourself Too Seriously
In Chai Xin's opinion, the reason why Liu Yu was able to obtain the God-killing Spear from the clan this time is worth pondering.
There is a high probability that the Liu family is already very wary of him and wants to take this opportunity to get rid of him to prevent future troubles.
Besides, Chai Xin is currently in need of an ultimate imperial weapon, and someone has finally delivered it to him, so why would he just give it back?
As for the Liu family, he doesn't care about it.
Even if the real body of the white-haired old man was deployed, he might not be able to do anything to him - just relying on the worldly speed of the Xing character secret is enough for him to protect himself at the level of a great sage!
Unless several great saints at the peak of their powers join forces to set up a formation and lure him into or force him into a trap, he would be unable to resist but escaping would be enough.
What's more, how could Chai Xin be such a stupid person that he would be easily ambushed by others?
Seeing that Chai Xin was firm in his attitude and refused to return the God-killing Spear, the smile on the white-haired old man's face finally faded, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.
He threw Liu Yu aside, looked at Chai Xin indifferently, and said coldly: "I know you are extremely talented. You are young, but your strength is unfathomable. I cherish your talent, so I advised you kindly. But you don't know what is good for you, so you can't blame me for being ruthless..."
Facing the sudden change of attitude of the white-haired old man, Chai Xin seemed very indifferent, and even drew a trace of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth: "This is the style that the Liu family should have. Why do you have to pretend and treat everyone as a fool?"
Before he finished speaking, a silver light flashed under his feet and his figure disappeared without any warning.
"Now that the God-killing Spear is in my hands, the only way to get it back is to fight!"
The next moment, he appeared beside the frightened Liu Yu not far away.
"Ancestor save me!"
Feeling the overwhelming pressure coming at him, Liu Yu was horrified to find that he had no power to resist at all and could only cry out for help to the white-haired old man.
"How dare you commit a crime in front of me, you evil creature?"
The white-haired old man's hair and beard were all standing up, and a hint of anger appeared on his cold old face. Chai Xin's action was undoubtedly a slap in the face.
In fact, if this was not just an incarnation, with his own strength, even if he could not catch up with Chai Xin, he would not have to watch the other party attack the person next to him at such a close distance.
But an incarnation is an incarnation, and it can never be compared with the original body.
Whether in terms of speed, strength, endurance, and control of the laws, they are far inferior.
An incarnation of a peak Great Sage can at most be comparable to the full strength of a high-level Great Sage, and is even much inferior in endurance.
If it really comes to a head-on fight, a peak Great Sage would not be able to defeat a high-level Great Sage with just one incarnation.
And now, Chai Xin’s speed is even faster than many great saints, let alone this mere incarnation?
"You are just an incarnation. Do you really think you are the ancient emperor? If you are the emperor, I will surrender immediately!"
Chai Xin sneered, and his divine fist, filled with purple, carried with it the dazzling light of the Dao, like a river from the sky, rushing down from the sky and falling towards Liu Yu's head with incomparable ferocity.
Liu Yu widened his eyes, watching the dazzling fist approaching at a high speed, but his body was weighed down by the powerful momentum and could not move, and he could not avoid it at all.
"You little bastard, you're courting death!"
As he spoke, the white-haired old man had already rushed forward with his palm waved. The holy light in the sky gathered into a palm print that covered the sky and the sun, causing the vacuum to stir and even the nearby stars to tremble.
He aimed his palm at Chai Xin's back, trying to hit the enemy's weak spot and delay the opponent's offensive.
However, Chai Xin seemed to be unaware of this earth-shattering palm strike. His eyes remained calm and determined, and the purple divine fist hit Liu Yu's crown without any hesitation.
"Buzz!"
No sound could be heard in the vacuum, but the violent energy fluctuations were unobstructed, sweeping across the sky like a wave, frightening all living beings on Xuantu Star.
Liu Yu's head hidden under the helmet was directly shattered by Chai Xin's punch, turning into thick blood and exploding in the space.
Even the battle suit made of Daluo silver could not save him from death by this punch. This was an absolute gap in strength that could not be made up by any external objects.
A wisp of soul emerged from the helmet, but before it could escape, Chai Xin swept away it with his divine power, shattering it and turning it completely into nothingness.
Until this moment, the white-haired old man's huge palm print that covered the sky finally came behind him, and the divine power that was enough to crush the stars pressed down on him.
The attack was not inferior to that of a high-level great sage, and even Chai Xin could not take it lightly.
"town!"
Chai Xin opened his mouth silently and uttered an ancient character. The Lihuo Divine Furnace hidden in the space inside his body suddenly soared into the sky. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a giant of a hundred feet and blocked behind him.
"Buzz!"
The surface of the Fire God's Furnace was illuminated by rays of light that overshadowed the brightness of the stars, making it so bright that countless people could not open their eyes. The powerful fluctuations of divine power penetrated the universe.
After a moment, the light faded, and the palm print that covered the sky and the sun had long since disappeared without a trace. The Fire God Furnace was safe and sound, and had shrunk back to about ten feet in size, landing on top of Chai Xin's head. It spun around non-stop, shedding thousands of rays of light, and firmly protecting the people below.
"Quasi-imperial weapon!"
The white-haired old man stared at the Lihuo Divine Furnace with his eyes fixed, a hint of fear flashed across his eyes, and then he seemed to be lost in some memories.
"Is this... the legendary Lihuo Divine Furnace?"
After all, he was a great sage of the highest level, with a very broad vision. He recognized him after just a quick look.
"According to the ancient records of our clan, the Lihuo Divine Furnace is the weapon used by the legendary Emperor Hengyu before he attained enlightenment. How could you possess it? Could it be..."
The white-haired old man instantly thought of many things, and the fear in his eyes deepened. He didn't even bother to chase Chai Xin and took a half step back.
The more powerful a person is, the more he understands how invincible the ancient emperor is, and the more he knows how profound the foundation of the ancient family is.
Even though the Liu family obtained an imperial weapon and had a quasi-emperor with nearly ten thousand years of experience, if they really compared their foundation with those races that had produced great emperors and ancient kings, they were still far behind.
The white-haired old man thought that Chai Xin's actions were instructed by the Jiang family, and his original firm belief in success was inevitably shaken at this moment.
Killing Chai Xin might be possible, but if it offended an ancient family, what kind of bloody storm would it provoke?
Furthermore, any outstanding disciple of a major force would have the clan’s imprint on him, and would come to the rescue in times of crisis.
The white-haired old man suddenly realized that the situation might be set and there was no way to save it. Most importantly, if the Jiang family tried their best to protect Chai Xin, the Liu family's hope of regaining the God-killing Halberd would be even slimmer.
But if it were an ordinary treasure, it would be fine and it wouldn’t be a big deal to give it up, but the God-Slaying Spear is different, it is the Liu family’s magic needle!
"Are you a descendant of the Jiang family? Yes, there are rumors that you came from the Buried Emperor Star, where Emperor Hengyu is active... Since you are a descendant of an ancient family, how can you forcibly seize the imperial weapons of another family? Aren't you afraid of being attacked by all the noble families in the world?"
The white-haired old man spoke in a solemn tone, with a gleam in his eyes, as if he was thinking of a countermeasure.
"I forcibly seized the imperial weapons? What a joke! It was clearly you, the Liu family, who came with the imperial weapons and wanted to kill me, but I killed you instead. Now you say that I forcibly seized your imperial weapons?"
Chai Xin shook his head and laughed, not knowing what to say.
In fact, he had long been accustomed to the practices of these so-called aristocratic families, but today he was still shocked by the shamelessness of the old man in front of him.
No wonder the youngsters of all the major forces are so incompetent, it turns out they are rotten from the root!
As the saying goes, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked. With such ancestors and people in power, how can the descendants have good character?
Facing Chai Xin's question and ridicule, the white-haired old man remained calm and said, "Everything in the world is nothing but profit, and so is your Jiang family. Your family already has an imperial weapon, and one more will not be of much use. If you have any requests, feel free to ask, and my Liu family can pay to redeem it."
At this point, he had also witnessed Chai Xin's strength, and after confirming that he was from the Jiang family, he realized that it was no longer possible to forcibly take back the God-Slaying Spear, so he started negotiations again.
"Benefits...haha, they are indeed very important."
Chai Xin nodded slightly, the smile on his face became more intense, but then he suddenly froze, revealing a strong murderous aura.
"But as a cultivator, it is more important to follow my heart! Your Liu family wants to kill me, and this is a feud that will never end. If I don't uproot you, I will not be satisfied with my heart!"
The moment the words fell, Chai Xin had already used the digital secret and the fighting word secret.
Nine mighty black dragons, with divine chains gleaming with cold light wrapped around their bodies, were pulling an ancient coffin formed from the Xuanhuang Seal. They seemed to be coming slowly from the end of time, radiating brilliant holy light and shocking the nine heavens and ten earths.
The stars are shaking and the void is trembling.
The astonishing dragon power suppressed the sky, causing all living beings who felt it to tremble all over and even kneel down to worship.
"Nine dragons pulling the coffin... What kind of magical power is this? Or is it a strange phenomenon?"
Even someone as knowledgeable as the white-haired old man couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this scene. He was even more shocked than when he saw the Lihuo Divine Furnace and guessed Chai Xin's background.
He had never seen such a powerful dragon might before. It was just like the legendary real dragon in heaven. Even a true immortal would have to bow down to it.
"A descendant of the Saint Realm could actually display such an astonishing method that could suppress the ages. Even I am shocked... Provoking such a powerful enemy is really..."
Until this moment, a trace of regret finally emerged in the heart of the white-haired old man.
Although he respects the Jiang family, he is not afraid of them.
But the potential shown by Chai Xin was enough to make this peak great sage feel inexplicable fear!
If we count the ancient emperors and great kings throughout history, how many of them can be so strong at the saint level?
This is the true posture of an emperor!
Even if he can't become the emperor, becoming a quasi-emperor is a foregone conclusion, enough to make the entire starry sky tremble. What does the Liu family count for?
"Friend Chai, there is no hatred in the world that cannot be resolved. Why don't you sit down and have a good discussion..."
Compared with the future of the entire clan, even the God-killing Spear is not something that cannot be given up. The white-haired old man was finally shaken, and there was even a hint of flattery on his face.
In fact, he had already felt that even with the strength of his incarnation, he might not be able to withstand Chai Xin's move intact.
"Now you want to have a good discussion, what were you doing before? If you want to fight, then fight. If you want to talk, then talk. You take yourself too seriously!"
Chai Xin's expression was cold, and his whole body was glowing with brilliant purple divine light. His hands were spinning with magical gestures, shaking the void to pieces.
There was lightning in his eyes, like a demon born from chaos. His every move was powerful enough to cause the heavens to collapse and the earth to split apart. He was extremely strong and domineering.
As soon as he finished speaking, nine dragons pulled the coffin across the sky and crushed the endless sky, as if a world was falling.
“Chai Xin, you are a descendant of an ancient family, yet you have committed such a robbery. There is no place for you in the universe anymore! Return the God-killing Halberd as soon as possible, and there will still be room for recovery!”
But at this moment, the white-haired old man's face suddenly changed again. He flipped his hand and made a mountain-climbing seal, trying to stop the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin from rushing over.
He himself used the art of escape, transformed into a stream of light, and quickly flew towards the depths of the universe.
The so-called flattery before was just a cover for escape.
A cunning and treacherous person like him would never bow down even if he really wanted to negotiate peace.
He realized that if he continued to hold on, it would be difficult to preserve this incarnation, so he chose to devise a plan to escape.
This behavior was not because he felt sorry for the loss of an incarnation, but because he was worried that if the incarnation was lost, all the information known about Chai Xin would not be able to be passed on to the original body.
In this way, the Liu family will be completely passive!
If the incarnation could escape, the white-haired old man would certainly spread the word that Chai Xin was a descendant of the Jiang family, and wait for an opportunity to seize the Liu family's ultimate imperial weapon, in order to arouse the fear of the Jiang family among other major forces that possessed imperial weapons.
By then, no matter how powerful the Jiang family and Chai Xin are, how can they withstand the combined forces of all the underworld forces in the world?
In this way, the Liu family has a hope of turning the tables, taking back the God-killing Spear, and eliminating Chai Xin at the same time.
But if the incarnation is destroyed here, I don't know Chai Xin's identity and specific strength, and I am afraid that I will still try to kill him with my own strength as I did before.
At most, he would invite a few close friends to attack Chai Xin together.
But that level of power is far from enough to cause any serious damage to Chai Xin and the Jiang family behind him, but will instead alert the enemy.
In short, the white-haired old man has already given up the idea of taking back the God-killing Spear by himself. What is urgent is to ensure that the known information can be passed back to his original master.
Unfortunately, this incarnation of his felt the pressure even when confronting Chai Xin head-on.
Running away is not a wise move.
In fact, the white-haired old man was also helpless. After all, an incarnation was an incarnation, and it was always weak in terms of consumption.
At the moment he still has enough energy and has a chance to escape. If he really fights with Chai Xin for dozens of rounds, he might not even have the strength to escape!
"You shouldn't have shown up in the first place!"
With a punch, he dispersed the whistling Mountain-Crossing Seal. Silver light flashed under Chai Xin's feet, and he activated the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin Diagram and chased after him at lightning speed.
Before leaving, he did not forget to glance at Yan Cangqiong, who was not far away and was unable to move due to the pressure of his aura. A golden light flashed in his eyes between his eyebrows, and he directly shattered the opponent's soul!
