Chapter 989: Chapter 989: Xiao Tian Arrives

"Lin Chen, flee at once. This guy is extremely sinister and powerful beyond comparison, and not someone you can contend with."

The voice of the Dragon Fang Instrument Spirit echoed inside Lin Chen’s Soul Sea.

Without Dragon Fang’s reminder, Lin Chen had already discerned that Xiao Changkong’s Divine Soul had been taken over by another, manifestly potent existence; evidently, it was the same being who had unleashed the overwhelmingly powerful pressure earlier.

With just a single strike, the Soul-Cleaving Blade annihilated the Divine Soul of Gong Siyuan who was at the Nirvana Realm Sixth Layer – what kind of terrifying power must that be.

Even the Demon Cultivators from Red Soul Hall, who can devour others’ vitality and flesh with their sinister Secret Techniques, couldn’t compare to the might of the large blade in Xiao Changkong’s hands.

Xiao Changkong’s methods exceeded everyone’s understanding, or it should be said, they were beyond the capabilities humans should possess.

At this moment, as Lin Chen heard the voice of the Dragon Fang Instrument Spirit within his Soul Sea, his heart shuddered.

Regardless of the danger he had previously encountered, the Dragon Fang Instrument Spirit was always brimming with confidence, claiming there was nothing it couldn’t resolve.

However, for the Dragon Fang Instrument Spirit to now urge him to escape indicated that Xiao Changkong was not something the recovered strength of Dragon Fang could confront; even if it could, Dragon Fang would undoubtedly pay a terrible price.

This is because the Dragon Fang Instrument Spirit seldom describes others as "extremely powerful".

"Who exactly is this guy? Can you see through him?"

Naturally curious, Lin Chen wondered who had taken over Xiao Changkong’s body.

"This guy should be from the Qilin Tribe. I can’t mistake that kind of aura on him, and it seems to be from the Dark lineage. Compared to other members of the Qilin Clan, the Dark Kirin are innately somber at heart, an evil existence. And that large blade in his hand is the Ancient Sacred Artifact, the Soul-Cleaving Blade."

"The intersection of these two items can only be described as a rare occurrence."

The voice of Dragon Fang resounded in Lin Chen’s Soul Sea.

"The Dark Kirin? Ancient Sacred Artifact?"

Hearing Dragon Fang’s introduction, Lin Chen roughly understood the identity of the entity that had taken over Xiao Changkong.

Looking at the great blade emitting a silver brilliance, Lin Chen’s brows furrowed tightly.

"Aren’t you also a Sacred Relic? Can’t you beat it?"

Lin Chen inquired.

"If both of us were at our peak, I certainly wouldn’t be afraid of him; after all, his main power is soul reaping."

"But now, this Soul-Cleaving Blade has been continuously inhabited by the Divine Soul of the Dark Kirin, and they have integrated into one. The Dark Kirin is now the Artifact Spirit of the blade, and it has recovered much more power than I have. To defeat it, you’d need to imbue me with power equal to that of the Dark Instrument Spirit!"

Dragon Fang spoke helplessly.

Joking aside, the opponent is a true Creation Realm expert, not at the same level as one a mere half-step to the Creation Realm.

Hearing Dragon Fang’s explanation, Lin Chen understood that their situation was extremely perilous.

No matter how powerful the crisis they faced in the past, at least there was the Dragon Fang Dagger as a trump card. However now, facing the Dark Kirin and the Soul-Cleaving Blade, even unleashing the power of Dragon Fang Dagger would be futile.

At this moment, although the Dragon Fang Dagger urged Lin Chen to flee immediately, Lin Chen did not act straightaway.

Joking aside, the opponent is a real Creation Realm expert, not on the same level as one a mere half-step to the Creation Realm.

The so-called bird that sticks out gets shot; Lin Chen wanted to quietly watch how the situation unfolded before making a decision.

If he were to move, the Dark Kirin could immediately fixate on him, which would bring huge trouble.

However, Lin Chen was unaware that although Xiao Changkong’s body was possessed by the Dark Kirin, it harbored deep hatred towards Lin Chen.

The moment it saw Lin Chen, the body instinctively felt a surge of furious emotions, which led the Dark Kirin that had taken over Xiao Changkong’s body to lock its gaze on Lin Chen.

Lin Chen realized he was targeted by Xiao Changkong’s possessed body and cursed loudly.

Whoosh Whoosh——

At that moment, Xiao Changkong, wielding the large blade, directly aimed a slash at Lin Chen’s head.

If struck by this blade, Lin Chen believed he would share the same fate as Xiao Changkong.

Lin Chen naturally wouldn’t sit idly by and wait for death; he immediately utilized the Purple Thunder Shield Technique to flee the scene.

At the same time, with a thought, Lin Chen’s thirteen Flying Swords forming the Seven Killings Sword Array, moved forward to confront the large blade in Xiao Changkong’s hands.

Boom——

The power of Xiao Changkong’s large blade was terrifying and should not be underestimated. The thirteen Sharp Swords summoned by Lin Chen collided with the large blade, and the powerful cutting force instantly shattered the swords.

These swords were all Top Grade Heavenly Treasures, yet they were easily destroyed by the Soul-Cleaving Blade.

Lin Chen continued to flee but Xiao Changkong relentlessly pursued him.

Lin Chen knew he couldn’t escape; faced with the large blade Xiao Changkong was slashing over, a bright light suddenly shot from Lin Chen’s forehead.

Following that, a figure burst forth, standing in front of Lin Chen, holding a long dagger in hand.

This person was Master Qingxu, who was residing in Xue Yuanqing’s Corpse Puppet, and the dagger he held was none other than the Dragon Fang Dagger.

The moment he saw the Dragon Fang Dagger, Xiao Changkong’s expression stiffened. Being an Ancient Immortal Sacred Artifact, he naturally recognized Dragon Fang.

The Dark Kirin had not expected to encounter Dragon Fang again.

It should be known, during the great war a hundred thousand years ago, the owner of the Dragon Fang Dagger – that formidable presence who once commanded respect in the heavens above – was also present. He was the previous wielder of the Dragon Fang Dagger.

However, in that battle, the Dragon Fang Dagger was shattered, and that great power fell.

The Dark Kirin had not expected Dragon Fang to come to this continent as well.

At this moment, Master Qingxu, wielding Dragon Fang, blocked the attack of the Dark Kirin.

Xiao Changkong stared at Master Qingxu before him with a face full of fury. If his strength hadn’t been so greatly diminished, how could this mere insect block his strike?

He was about to swing the Soul Slaying Sword once again, but suddenly felt a chill from behind.

Scratch——

A claw enhanced with a metallic magic treasure heavily struck Xiao Changkong’s back, sending him flying.

"Master, are you all right? I’m here."

The Sky Howling Demon Wolf didn’t care who Xiao Changkong was; as long as someone dared to harm its master, it would be its enemy.
