Chapter 2057: Chapter 2057: Long Time No See
Xu Nian never expected that the evil figure Huo Qing and the others mentioned was actually Xie Siqi, whom he had encountered in the immortal and demon realm.
Xie Siqi, known as the flower of the Holy Temple in the demon realm, was a prodigy among the demon realm.
Her ascension to the Divine World didn’t surprise Xu Nian in the slightest. However, the fact that Xie Siqi could break through to the Daluo God Peak Level in such a short time was evidently abnormal.
Moreover, at this moment, Xie Siqi’s entire demeanor had undergone a radical transformation.
She wore a red dress that was entirely scarlet, her eyes sharp and glowing with a crimson hue.
To Xu Nian, it felt as though Xie Siqi had transformed into a different person.
"What on earth did she go through to change so much?" Xu Nian murmured to himself.
Xie Siqi had once helped Xu Nian, so he held a certain fondness for this woman.
Now, with Huo Qing and the others aiming to kill Xie Siqi, Xu Nian would undoubtedly not let them succeed.
"So this is the evil figure you intend to kill?" Xu Nian asked curiously.
"Yes, it’s her. She killed dozens of our Ziwei Sect disciples, many of whom were at the God King Level, their soul power devoured by her. If she isn’t killed, where does that leave the face of our Ziwei Sect?" Huo Qing said indignantly.
"This woman is deceitful and cunning. You aren’t falling for her, are you?" Lin Huayu asked suspiciously upon noticing Xu Nian’s expression.
Clearly, he didn’t wish to think of Xu Nian.
Xu Nian smiled without speaking, not bothering to reply.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, let’s strike together later and trap her using the formation. Be sure not to let her escape." Huo Qing said to Xu Nian.
"Alright!" Xu Nian grinned, though he scoffed internally.
If they intended to kill someone else, he might give it some consideration.
But to kill Xie Siqi, Xu Nian would resolutely ensure they failed.
"Unexpected that the Ziwei Sect people would dare come to die. Trying to seize my Chaos Demon Qi without restraint, no matter how many come, I, Xie Siqi, fear no one."
At this moment, Xie Siqi’s voice rang out from the island.
Xie Siqi’s graceful figure flew up from the island, gazing at Xu Nian and the others with intense killing intent.
However, when she saw Xu Nian among the crowd, she momentarily froze, a hint of confusion and surprise in her eyes.
Xu Nian pretended he didn’t recognize her at all.
"Chaos Demon Qi? So that’s what it is, no wonder Xie Siqi’s cultivation could advance so quickly." Xu Nian suddenly understood in his heart.
The so-called Chaos Demon Qi, a powerful type of heavenly demonic energy, supposedly extracted from the world by the legendary Chaos Demon God, was origin power of the Demon Path, with supreme might.
Absorbing the Chaos Demon Qi could transform one into a mighty Chaos Demon God.
It seemed Xie Siqi had absorbed the Chaos Demon Qi, thus undergoing such a drastic change.
"Hmph, demoness, you murdered so many of our Ziwei Sect disciples. Today you shall be buried with our fallen brethren. A demoness like you must not be allowed to remain in the world." Huo Qing coldly snorted.
Lin Huayu and Chen Qingyang both had sharp eyes, overflowing with a strong killing intent.
"Haha, buried for your brethren? What righteous indignation, you first tried to steal my Chaos Demon Qi, repeatedly trying to kill me, and now claim I’m a demoness, seems your Ziwei Sect truly has no shame." Xie Siqi laughed heartily.
If not for Xu Nian’s presence, she wouldn’t even have bothered to explain.
Xu Nian also immediately understood; it wasn’t that Xie Siqi had provoked them, but rather they had provoked Xie Siqi, only to be slaughtered by her in turn.
Now, they still wanted to seize Xie Siqi’s Chaos Demon Qi, seeking a righteous excuse.
"Hmph, don’t argue, you killed dozens of our Ziwei Sect disciples. If this isn’t avenged, where will our Ziwei Sect stand?" Huo Qing coldly snorted.
Then he turned to Xu Nian, "Fellow Daoist Xu, deploy the formation directly, seal off this space, trap her."
"Alright!" Xu Nian nodded with a smile.
Then he deployed the array flag and began activating it.
Lin Huayu and Chen Qingyang also activated their array flags, instantly enclosing the entire sky and earth.
"This is the Qiankun Wanxiang Array?" Xu Nian recognized this formation.
Indeed, this formation was very formidable.
Once deployed, it isolated everything in the sky and earth.
Even a God King Level expert would find it difficult to break this formation.
Not to mention that Xie Siqi was only at the Daluo God Peak Level.
"Well done, Fellow Daoist Xu, now just maintain the formation for a short while, while I use the powerful Divine Talisman." Huo Qing immediately said.
After speaking, he took out a divine talisman.
In the instant he saw the talisman, a glint of surprise flashed in Xu Nian’s eyes.
This was the ancient evil god’s Sky-splitting Talisman, extremely powerful, capable of annihilating God King Level experts.
However, this talisman had a distinct characteristic: it required the sacrifice of a living person’s divine soul to be activated.
Instantly, Xu Nian understood everything. Huo Qing planned from the start to make him the sacrifice target.
Therefore, he had lured him here.
"Buzz!"
Just then, Huo Qing suddenly struck, a beam of sword light piercing toward Xu Nian from behind.
The moment Xu Nian saw the Sky-splitting Talisman, he had already prepared his defenses.
Thus, when Huo Qing struck, he was able to sense it.
"What?"
Huo Qing’s sword stab missed, striking only a phantom image.
"Fellow Daoist Huo, what is the meaning of this?" Xu Nian appeared at a distance, asking with a smile.
"How did you know I was going to kill you?" Huo Qing, his sneak attack failed, no longer feigned, coldly interrogated.
"Haha, the Sky-splitting Talisman is legendarily terrifying, but requires a living soul sacrifice. You think I wouldn’t know this?" Xu Nian coldly laughed.
"You recognized the talisman. But regardless, today you must die." Huo Qing’s expression turned vicious.
Xu Nian smiled slightly, ignoring Huo Qing, and instead flew toward Xie Siqi.
"Siqi, didn’t expect we’d meet again." Xu Nian greeted Xie Siqi with a smile.
"Brother Xu Nian, I was surprised to see you; I thought you were colluding with this group." Xie Siqi displayed a sly smile upon hearing Xu Nian.
"I just received some benefits from them; little did I expect the person they aimed to kill was you." Xu Nian laughed.
"I see." Xie Siqi nodded.
"They know each other?" Huo Qing’s face instantly changed.
They never imagined the person they summoned would know Xie Siqi.
Wasn’t he called Xu An?
Why was he called Xu Nian?
Xu Nian seemed familiar, like they’d heard it somewhere before.
