Chaotic Sword God
chapter-2228

At the same time, there was a meteor that hovered in the vast starry space right outside the Desolate Plane.

From the meteor, the boundless Desolate Plane seemed to be the size of a finger-nail.

An azure-robed man sat on the barren meteor. His face was cold while his piercing eyes stared at the huge piece of land that stood silently in the distance.

He was the Azure Peng King.

The Azure Peng King never left during these days. He had always remained on the meteor, silently watching the Desolate Plane. He paid attention to Jian Chen at all times, personally watching Jian Chen even if it did not suit his status.

In his heart, dealing with Jian Chen was not as simple as taking revenge for Mo Cheng. More importantly, he wanted Jian Chen’s Anatta Tower.

“Hmph. Celestial Sword Saint, I, the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance, will remember this. Don’t you ever let me find the opportunity or I’ll… hmph,” the Azure Peng King said through gritted teeth as heavy killing intent flickered through his piercing gaze.

Afterwards, the Azure Peng King spread out his hand. A bright-red droplet of blood hovered above it, pulsing with great energy. However, to an expert like the Azure Peng King, this energy was just too puny.

The droplet of blood came from Jian Chen.

The Azure Peng King used the droplet of chaotic blood to utilise a secret technique and look for Jian Chen’s whereabouts.

Who knows how many times he had done this already. In reality, during the time he had been waiting there, he would basically look for Jian Chen’s whereabouts every day or two in order to keep track of if Jian Chen had left the Desolate Plane unknowingly through a teleportation formation.

However, the Azure Peng King was greatly intrigued after checking this time. His eyes shone brightly as joy filled his face. He suddenly stood up and growled, “Just as I had expected. You haven’t remained on the Desolate Plane for long. You’ve finally left.”

“However, since I have a droplet of your blood, you can’t escape from me no matter you go as long as you remain in the Saints’ World.”

“Jian Chen, if you remained on the Desolate Plane, there really wouldn’t have been anything I could do to you, but you’ve already left now. You’re basically looking to die,” the Azure Peng King sneered. Then he closed his eyes and used a secret technique to expand his search radius.

Very soon, the Azure Peng King opened his eyes. He looked into the depths of space and sneered, “You sure have fled far away, but no matter how far you go, you can’t avoid my secret technique or being hunted down by me.”

With a flash of azure light, the Azure Peng King shot off. It seemed like a huge, azure peng flapping its wings, flying into the depths of space with indescribable speed. He vanished in an instance.

…

At this moment, Jian Chen was completely covered in blood after having fused the swords. The backlash severely injured him.

And that was not the main problem. Most annoyingly, Jian Chen discovered that once the twin swords had fused, they seemed to have become like magnets, stuck together firmly. Separating them was not easy.

However, after dealing out that strike, he clearly did not have much power left. He had basically burnt out of energy now, so separating the swords was an extremely great challenge as well as a race against death.

This was because if the swords remained fused, there would only be one fate for him – the same one as the previous master of the twin swords. He would die to the backlash.

Jian Chen definitely did not want that to happen.

“Zi Ying! Qing Suo!” Jian Chen called out for the sword spirits in his heart. He did not know whether the sword spirits could hear his calling. At the same time, determination flooded his eyes, and while gritting his teeth, he began to burn the power of his soul without any hesitation at all. He erupted with his last amount of power, doing all he could to separate the swords.

During the process, his organs had completely vanished. Under the rampaging of true Chaotic Force, it had already been reduced to a bloody pulp. Even a third of his body had been gnawed away.

The power of his soul depleted rapidly, almost running out now.

Currently, Jian Chen had arrived at the gates of death.

But at this moment, an even more horrible matter occurred. The evil power hiding in Jian Chen’s soul awakened once again while the power of his soul had been reduced. It wanted to take over Jian Chen’s consciousness and thus his body.

Jian Chen’s heart sank. At such a critical time, if he let the evil power take over and replace him, he would definitely die. There would be no chance of him coming out of this alive.

Demonic, red light flickered in Jian Chen’s pupils. The world around him gradually became blood-red, making him roar out furiously. He utterly hated the evil power in his soul. Whenever his soul was weakened, it would take advantage of the situation and come out to make trouble, to try and replace him.

“If I really let you replace me in the current situation, I’ll be dead for sure. Since you want me to die, I’ll make you die right before me,” Jian Chen bellowed out. The demonic red light became brighter and brighter in his pupils. Before he lost consciousness, he directed a strand of Chaotic Force towards his soul.

At that moment, Jian Chen could already feel that his consciousness was affected. Although he retained a sliver of clarity, he was near insanity. Otherwise, he would have never done something so wild.

After all, the Chaotic Force he used to cleave at his soul was true Chaotic Force that was beyond his control. It was extremely powerful. He was basically dead for sure if the power struck his soul.

Despite that being the case, Jian Chen still performed such a fatal action without any hesitation when he was about to lose his consciousness. He did not tarry at all, taking action decisively.

Like a dagger, a strand of Chaotic Force sliced into Jian Chen’s soul. It headed towards the evil power that had fused with Jian Chen’s soul.

Jian Chen’s soul was like a piece of paper, immediately cut in half effortlessly. Coincidentally, a portion of one half was occupied by the evil power, while the other half completely belonged to Jian Chen.

At this moment, the twin swords finally separated. With the fusion released, the rampaging Chaotic Force vanished in that instance as well as if it had never appeared in the first place.

Jian Chen was a bloodied mess. He directly fainted there, losing consciousness completely.

The white-robed Mo Tianyun who had always remained in the distance arrived before Jian Chen in a flash when he saw this. He took out the various medicines and precious heavenly resources he had prepared beforehand and either smeared it onto Jian Chen’s body or directly fed them into his mouth.

“I never thought that the backlash from the fusion would be so powerful. The sword spirits still have not returned to their peak condition, so the Chaotic Force they create from fusing isn’t the strongest either, yet Jian Chen still wasn’t able to endure it with his level of the Chaotic Body,” the white-robed Mo Tianyun studied Jian Chen injuries sternly.

“His soul has actually fractured.” Suddenly, the white-robed Mo Tianyun’s face changed slightly. He murmured, “Why is it so severe? It looks like the fusion of the swords this time has actually caused him harm. I need to use the Saint of Grand Harmony’s soul, and only then will his soul be able to recover as soon as possible.”

To many experts in the Saints’ World, an injured soul was an extremely difficult manner to deal with. It was very hard to handle. Yet, from how Mo Tianyun acted right now, he did not seem worried at all. He appeared to know exactly what to do.

In the next moment, Mo Tianyun’s original body emerged from the Cosmic Formation of the Fire-purifying Lotus. The Saint of Grand Harmony’s soul was still clutched in his hand.

The soul shone like a miniature sun, illuminating the space around them.

However, the radiance did not last for long. It was swallowed up by surging demonic aura. An extremely turbulent and pure demonic aura surged out from Mo Tianyun’s hand, forming a black, demonic flame that enveloped the soul.

Immediately, the Saint of Grand Harmony’s miserable cries rang out from the black flame. It was as if he was undergoing the world’s most painful torture.

However, the black-robed Mo Tianyun remained cold to all of this. He studied Jian Chen closely and gradually, and his frown became deeper.

Now that his original body was here, he could see things with much greater clarity than his clone. He could see through Jian Chen’s ins and outs.

Only then did he discover that Jian Chen’s injuries were far worse than he had imagined them to be.

“There’s a sliver of Chaotic Force that lingers in his fractured soul. The Chaotic Force is destroying his soul right now, and his soul is becoming weaker and weaker. If this continues, he’ll only end up dead. But why is there an evil power in one of the halves?” The black-robed Mo Tianyun said grimly. As he spoke, the demonic flames in his hand swelled, and he growled, “I need to refine the Saint of Grand Harmony’s soul as soon as possible.”

At the same time, his clone took out a puresoul from his Space Ring and sent it into Jian Chen’s forehead.

The puresoul was clearly much denser than the puresoul the white-robed Mo Tianyun had originally shown to Jian Chen in the Radiant Saint Hall.
