NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 179 Tang Chen’s Killing Intent and Rift with Bo Saixi
Chapter 179 Tang Chen's Killing Intent and Rift with Bo Saixi
Above the vast sea, the atmosphere seemed to freeze.
Tang Chen's sudden appearance caught everyone off guard.
Qin Xiao couldn't help but exclaim inwardly, "What the hell? Shouldn't this guy have died from the deadly poison of the Bloodthirsty Swan's Kiss in the City of Slaughter?"
How did he appear here, lively and kicking?
"Tang Chen, after so many years, where have you been?"
Meeting Tang Chen again stirred up mixed feelings in Bo Saixi's heart.
She took the initiative to break the tension in the air.
Although she had a thousand words in her heart, her lips trembled a few times, and she finally uttered these words.
"Tang Chen, now is not the time to discuss these matters."
"I have more important things to tell you right now."
Tang Chen also said to Bo Saixi with a complicated expression, then turned his gaze to Qin Xiao, his eyes instantly turning extremely cold.
The released killing intent couldn't be contained anymore.
It manifested as faint white mist, solidifying the intent.
The temperature in the area dropped sharply at this moment.
Crackling sounds echoed as the seawater beneath Tang Chen began to freeze.
He looked at Qin Xiao and gritted his teeth, "Kid, do you still recognize me?"
On the other hand, Qin Xiao remained calm, seemingly unaffected by Tang Chen's presence.
"I do. The King of Slaughter, from the City of Slaughter!"
He suddenly chuckled, "I never thought we would meet here. It's fate."
"Kid, you can still laugh. Today, I, Tang Chen, swear to kill you!"
Tang Chen harbored immense hatred towards Qin Xiao.
This kid in front of him almost destroyed the City of Slaughter.
Tang Chen dreamt of killing Qin Xiao for revenge.
No.
Killing Qin Xiao would be too easy for him. Tang Chen wanted to devour Qin Xiao's flesh and drink his blood to quench the hatred in his heart.
The only thing that surprised Tang Chen was that he had come to find Bo Saixi but encountered this enemy, Qin Xiao.
"Have you ever thought that you could leave that sunless place, the City of Slaughter, and should be thankful to me?"
"I helped you, yet you want to kill me. Isn't this repaying kindness with enmity?"
Qin Xiao didn't bother to pretend anymore; he sighed involuntarily.
He was truly regretful that he couldn't poison Tang Chen to death.
Originally, he planned to return to the Douluo Continent and see if there were any survivors in the City of Slaughter. Now, it seemed unnecessary.
"You want me to thank you? You still have the nerve to ask for my gratitude? Bullshit!"
Tang Chen was furious, trembling all over.
It should be noted that Qin Xiao's poison was extremely potent. Tang Chen survived not because he was stronger but because he was fortunate enough to encounter Tang San.
Without Tang San, he would definitely not have survived until now.
However, even so, after sacrificing the lives of a large number of sect disciples, he barely managed to survive.
Whenever he thought about these things, Tang Chen felt unable to breathe due to the pain in his heart.
"Haotian Hammer!"
Tang Chen no longer restrained the killing intent in his heart; he reached out, and the huge Haotian Hammer appeared in his right hand.
The hammerhead, thicker than a bucket, was adorned with blood-red patterns, exuding a chilling aura.
He casually swung the Haotian Hammer, and the air seemed to groan under the weight of the hammer.
At this moment, Tang Chen's momentum became even stronger.
"Chaos Cloak!"
With almost no hesitation, Tang Chen unleashed his attack.
Although not the strongest Heavenly Secret Art or Ultimate Skill, the power of Chaos Cloak was still undeniable.
Its imposing manner made Qin Xiao momentarily consider avoiding its edge.
However.
Thoughts were just thoughts; he ultimately remained motionless in place.
Mainly because he didn't need to move; someone else did it for him.
"Tang Chen! That's enough!"
Suddenly.
With a roar, Qin Xiao felt a flash of red light before him. Bo Saixi had appeared in front of him.
"If you want to hurt Qin Xiao, you'll have to get through me first." Her scepter was thrust forward like a spear towards the Haotian Hammer.
Boom!
The Haotian Hammer collided with the scepter, emitting a deafening sound.
The void rippled like the surface of water.
"Hmph!"
Seeing Bo Saixi and Tang Chen simultaneously grunt, they both retreated.
Obviously, their attacks were not just for show; they both used their full strength.
Tang Chen flew higher.
Bo Saixi also stood on the void, retreating repeatedly.
Suddenly, Bo Saixi felt a warmth on her shoulder, a gentle hand landing on it, stopping her movement.
Qin Xiao's concerned voice also reached Bo Saixi's ears, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
Bo Saixi's mind flickered for a moment, shaking her head slightly with her back to Qin Xiao.
With that, she took a step forward again, holding her scepter and standing still, still maintaining some distance from Qin Xiao.
In mid-air, Tang Chen also stabilized his figure.
"Xixi, you... Are you actually protecting him?"
"How can you protect him!"
Tang Chen was stunned by Bo Saixi's actions, his face filled with incredulity.
He hadn't expected that after decades of not seeing each other, the first thing he did was confront Bo Saixi. More importantly, the person Bo Saixi was protecting turned out to be his enemy.
This result, he couldn't accept.
Bo Saixi replied indifferently, "As long as anyone around Sea God Island harms Qin Xiao, I will firmly stand in front of him to protect him."
She wasn't lying.
Qin Xiao was the inheritor of the Sea God, the only inheritor of Sea God Island for countless ages. His importance was self-evident.
Moreover, now that Qin Xiao had completed several assessments, he had already made significant progress on the path of the divine examination, with hopes of success.
In Bo Saixi's heart, Qin Xiao could die in the divine examination, in the sea areas or lands outside Sea God Island.
But within the control range of Sea God Island, Bo Saixi would never allow any accidents to happen to Qin Xiao.
This was the responsibility bestowed upon her by the Sea God.
Even if it meant sacrificing her own life, she would protect Qin Xiao's safety.
This was faith.
"At any cost?"
Tang Chen's mouth twitched, unwilling to accept it.
"At any cost!"
Bo Saixi's reply was firm.
"Why is that?"
Tang Chen's mindset collapsed.
How could he have known that Qin Xiao was chosen by the Sea God to inherit?
After all, Sea God Island had been passing down its inheritance for so long, and there had never been any mention of who would be the inheritor.
However, he couldn't help but recall another matter.
"Wait a minute, something's not right!"
Tang Chen suddenly realized, his gaze fixed on Qin Xiao, "What's your name? Qin Xiao!"
He remembered that Bo Saixi had always called that kid by this name!
"It's me."
Qin Xiao replied calmly.
However, inwardly, his heart stirred. It seemed that Tang Chen had already met Tang Hao and knew about the destruction of the Haotian Sect?
But so what?
He wasn't afraid of Tang Chen.
"Qin Xiao!"
"So you're Qin Xiao!"
The fury in Tang Chen's heart surged again, and the fire in his eyes almost spewed out.
He remembered, Tang San, Tang Hao, and Tang Hu mentioned that the perpetrator who destroyed the Haotian Sect was named Qin Xiao, a young, handsome Title Douluo-level powerhouse.
Previously, Tang Chen didn't know Qin Xiao's real name, so he didn't think much about it.
After all, in the City of Slaughter, Qin Xiao didn't use his real name; he only had a code number. Tang Chen didn't even know what Qin Xiao's real name was.
But now it was different.
Upon learning Qin Xiao's true name, the perpetrator who poisoned him in the City of Slaughter and conspired with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to annihilate the Haotian Sect, the two enemies, began to overlap at this moment.
Tang Chen was certain that such a coincidence couldn't exist; Qin Xiao was unique, and he had done all the bad things!
"Qin Xiao, even if Bo Saixi protects you today, I will still kill you!"
Tang Chen's voice almost squeezed out from between his teeth.
One soul ring after another appeared under his feet.
"Tang Chen, do you still want to make a move!"
Bo Saixi's face became even colder.
Her heart was already starting to ache.
To be honest, after not seeing Tang Chen for decades, she had imagined various scenes of their reunion, but never had she imagined this scene.
"Xixi, it's not that I'm unwilling to stop, but you don't know what that guy behind you has done!"
Tang Chen pointed at Qin Xiao with a mournful voice, "He destroyed my Haotian Sect, slaughtered my clan, and after decades of not seeing each other, I am no longer the Sect Master of the number one sect in the world, but a lonely man!"
"What!"
After hearing Tang Chen's words, Bo Saixi felt as if struck by lightning.
She had never thought that there would be such deep enmity between Qin Xiao and Tang Chen.
Compared to this, the so-called poisoning incident before was simply insignificant.
Tang Chen's grief-filled voice echoed far and wide, and even the Saint Pillar Guardians watching from afar could hear it clearly.
At this moment.
They were all dumbfounded.
The Haotian Sect, known as the number one sect in the world, even they, the Sea Soul Masters on Sea God Island, had heard of it.
But the powerful forces on the mainland were completely wiped out. Qin Xiao's actions were quite unexpected.
Bo Saixi was also genuinely shocked. She turned her head somewhat numbly. "Is this true?"
Qin Xiao nodded slightly. "Indeed. Tang Chen, if it weren't for Tang Hao's coercion and the elders of the Haotian Sect treating me as a thorn in their side, how could I have ended up like this? Tang Chen, the Haotian Sect's current situation is entirely self-inflicted."
"Haha, entirely self-inflicted, what a phrase."
Tang Chen laughed angrily, "Qin Xiao, then today, taking your life is also your own fault."
As he spoke, he raised the Haotian Hammer in his hand high.
"Haotian Nine Extremes! Break!"
With the word "Break" uttered, Tang Chen's Haotian Hammer smashed down fiercely.
He descended like a meteor, his momentum astonishing.
"Divine Blessing as Vast as the Sea!"
Bo Saixi turned her head to look at Tang Chen, her eyebrows furrowed. After her scepter flew for a while, both hands were held horizontally in front of her.
The waves were drawn by powerful divine power, leaving the sea surface, forming a shield-like vortex in front of Bo Saixi.
"It seems that Bo Saixi held back before."
Behind Bo Saixi, Qin Xiao's heart stirred.
The same defensive move, but the defense displayed now was much stronger than before.
Boom!
Tang Chen's blow heavily struck the shield.
Crack, crack.
The shield immediately emitted a sound of unbearable strain.
But with more divine power infused, the shield recovered to its previous defensive level.
"Divine Might like a Prison!"
Bo Saixi said lightly again.
As the voice fell, divine might descended!
"Confinement power?" Tang Chen's eyes carried a thrilling light, and with just one glance, he knew the situation he was in.
"I can't let the power of the Sea God completely bind me, otherwise it will cause me quite a bit of trouble."
Instantly, he had a plan in mind.
As he retreated, he raised his left hand and placed it behind his back in a posture of grasping something.
What is he doing? Bo Saixi was puzzled.
In her consciousness, Tang Chen should continue to use the Haotian Nine Extremes.
"He spent decades in the City of Slaughter, not just an ordinary person, but the master and king of the City of Slaughter."
"At this moment, he's probably going to use the power of the Asura God."
Suddenly, Qin Xiao's voice of warning rang in Bo Saixi's ears again.
"City of Slaughter!"
"Power of the Asura God!"
Bo Saixi's face showed a touch of emotion. She knew about the City of Slaughter; it was an extremely evil place, where only those who voluntarily fell into depravity would enter. Tang Chen actually became the king there!
"But what exactly is the power of the Asura God?"
"The City of Slaughter was created by the Asura God, and it can also be said to be the inheritance ground of the Asura God. The king of the City of Slaughter is undoubtedly the rightful inheritor of the Asura God."
"The inheritor of the Asura God, Tang Chen! Power of the Asura God!" Bo Saixi silently repeated, her face filled with seriousness.
At this moment.
Tang Chen also made a pulling-out-sword movement.
As his left hand rose, a bloody light appeared from behind him, gradually revealing a dark red, ferocious-looking giant sword, pulled out by Tang Chen.
"Asura Demon Sword! Slash!"
Tang Chen swung the demon sword in his hand, and bloody edges blossomed.
The pressure created by Bo Saixi using the power of the Sea God dissipated.
"Hmph."
Bo Saixi was not feeling well due to the backlash of her skill, her blood surged, and she forcibly suppressed a mouthful of blood, but even so, her face turned pale in an instant.
"Bo Saixi."
With the Asura Demon Sword in his left hand, Tang Chen pointed it at Bo Saixi from a distance, "I was once no weaker than you or Qiandao Liu, and now I have completed the Eighth Test of the Asura God, possessing the power of the Asura God and the divine sword of the Asura God."
"You may not know this, but the position of the Asura God in the ethereal divine realm is higher than that of the Sea God. And now, with the power of the Asura God, I am simply not someone you can defeat. Even if this is the boundless sea, with Sea God Island not far away, it still won't be my match."
"But, I, Tang Chen, am not heartless. If you are willing to step aside now, I will only kill Qin Xiao."
"After Qin Xiao's death, I don't care what entanglements exist between you two, I can overlook the mistakes you made before, and I will treat you as usual."
Obviously, Tang Chen was already in a winning position.
He believed that when he pulled out the Asura Demon Sword, regardless of Bo Saixi or Qin Xiao, they had already lost.
"Tang Chen, you're going too far!"
Bo Saixi was angry.
Tang Chen's attitude made her feel blatantly ignored.
Even, it could be said to be contemptuous.
She, the Grand Sacrifice of Sea God Island, was completely disregarded by Tang Chen.
She said coldly, "What if I don't step aside?"
Tang Chen replied indifferently, "Those who block me, die!"
As the voice fell, the Asura Demon Sword emitted a piercing sword cry, shining with a bloodthirsty light.
Just to mention.
This book is not written aimlessly. It will end in about three to five hundred thousand words.
