Chapter 2058: Chapter 2058: The Star Axe Strikes
"Xu Nian? Isn’t he the guy who possesses multiple spiritual treasures and has been issued a kill order by all major forces?" Lin Huayu immediately said.
As soon as these words came out, Huo Qing instantly reacted, and his gaze towards Xu Nian became extremely fervent.
"So it’s you, haha, truly heaven helping me. As long as I kill you, the spiritual treasures on you are all mine." Huo Qing laughed heartily, his eyes revealing a highly greedy expression.
"Oh? Do you think you have the strength to seize the spiritual treasures from my hands?" Xu Nian said with a cold smile.
Huo Qing snorted upon hearing this.
"Do you really think the array flag I gave you is real? The array flag in your hand is fake, the real flag is with me. As long as you are in my array space, you won’t be able to escape." Huo Qing said with a cold smile.
Xu Nian was surprised upon hearing this.
He sacrificed the array flag in his hand and glanced at it, discovering that indeed, the array flag was fake.
"Haha, unexpected, right? I’m not afraid to tell you the truth, besides this array flag, I also prepared another person’s Divine Soul just in case. Now the Sky-splitting Talisman has been successfully sacrificed, you two are dead for sure." Huo Qing laughed heartily.
After speaking, he took out the Sky-splitting Talisman from himself, and at this moment, the talisman had indeed been activated, emitting a terrifying wave of Divine Power.
This powerful wave of Divine Power is not inferior to the momentum of a late-stage God King level strong man.
"Well calculated, it seems you’ve thought of everything long ago. Even if something unexpected happens to me, you can still complete this hunt." Xu Nian said with a cold smile.
"Haha, you’re absolutely right. I, Huo Qing, would never act without thorough consideration. You can only blame yourself for being too naive." Huo Qing laughed heartily.
Lin Huayu and Chen Qingyang also revealed disdainful cold smiles.
"It seems you’ve been played as well." Ye Siqi looked at Xu Nian and teased with a smile.
"Yes, indeed I’ve been played. I originally thought I could hide my identity and adapt to changes, but in the end, I ended up in this situation." Xu Nian said with a smile.
Ye Siqi immediately chuckled.
"Are you ready to die?" Huo Qing looked at Xu Nian and Ye Siqi with a cold smile.
These two were at death’s door and yet could still laugh?
Xu Nian then looked at Huo Qing, and said with a light smile, "Do you really think your formation is still under your control?"
Huo Qing frowned.
What do you mean?
"Huh? Why did my array flag suddenly fail?" Lin Huayu exclaimed in surprise.
"Mine has also failed." Chen Qingyang followed suit.
Upon hearing this, Huo Qing’s face suddenly changed dramatically, and he hurriedly took out his array flag.
However, he was astonished to find that his array flag was unable to control the formation.
Xu Nian took out the flag Huo Qing had given him and activated it.
The next moment, the array space around them suddenly transformed, and the entire array locked onto Huo Qing and his companions.
The faces of Huo Qing and his companions went ashen.
"How is this possible? How can you control the formation?" Huo Qing asked in shock.
"Although you gave me a fake array flag, this flag contained the pattern rules of the formation. Thus, anyone proficient in formations could easily modify the formation and seize control. And I happen to be skilled in formations." Xu Nian said with a light smile.
He had studied the Eight Extremes Divine Array for so long; if he couldn’t even handle this formation, wouldn’t that have been a waste?
Huo Qing and his companions looked extremely ashen, completely unexpecting that Xu Nian was so adept at formations.
Had he known, he would never have handed the flag to Xu Nian.
"Hmph, even if you have mastered the formation, so what? Can you withstand my Sky-splitting Talisman?" Huo Qing said with a cold smile.
Then he activated the powerful Sky-splitting Talisman’s Sky-splitting Sword Qi towards Xu Nian.
The terrifying Sky-splitting Sword Qi slashed towards Xu Nian, carrying immense pressure.
Xu Nian merely snorted coldly and sacrificed the Star Axe.
Seeing the approaching sword Qi attack, he hesitated not at all and immediately swung the axe.
In an instant, the world was directly split apart.
The sword Qi that Huo Qing wielded was instantly shattered by the Star Axe.
Yet, the terrifying Axe Light didn’t fade but continued to slash towards Huo Qing and his companions.
"What? How is this possible?" Huo Qing and his companions were shocked, shouting in disbelief.
Then he felt the extremely terrifying Great Tao rules contained within the Axe Light.
Without hesitation, Huo Qing and his companions exerted all their strength to resist.
However, how could the three of them possibly withstand the strike of the Star Axe? So when the Axe Light of the Star Axe fell, the three were ripped apart and their souls dispersed.
The three were slain in one blow.
Beside them, Ye Siqi also showed a surprised expression.
Looking at the Star Axe in Xu Nian’s hand, she was utterly shocked.
She naturally could tell that the Star Axe in Xu Nian’s hand was a powerful Chaos Spiritual Treasure.
Such a level of treasure, let alone Divine Sovereign level strong men, even God Emperor level strong men would covet it.
Nonetheless, she was astonished that Xu Nian could wield such a treasure.
"I didn’t expect you to have such a spiritual treasure in your hand. No wonder all these forces are pursuing you. If outsiders knew you possessed a Chaos Spiritual Treasure, you wouldn’t be able to take a single step in the Divine World." Ye Siqi said.
Xu Nian revealed a wry smile, "A gentleman carries no sin, yet he invites guilt by holding a jade. There’s no choice; I can only choose to hide now. As for the Chaos Spiritual Treasure, please, Siqi, keep it a secret for me."
"If you want me to keep it a secret, you’ll have to offer some incentive, won’t you?" Ye Siqi said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian was both amused and exasperated.
"If Siqi doesn’t mind, I’ll give you this Array Plate. This formation is crafted by me, it’s called the Dragon King Array, capable of trapping and killing any Mid-stage God King level being." Xu Nian said, handing the Array Plate to Ye Siqi.
"Oh? You made it?" Ye Siqi showed a hint of surprise.
"Yes, I crafted it. Is Siqi still satisfied?" Xu Nian smiled and asked.
"It’s passable, I’ll accept the formation, but I hope you will call me Siqi directly, not Siqi fellow daoist." Ye Siqi said with a smile.
After speaking, she promptly accepted the array plate.
"Alright, Siqi. By the way, Siqi, why do you possess Chaos Demon Qi? Have you even refined it?" Xu Nian asked in astonishment.
Although Chaos Demon Qi was extremely powerful, it had a significant flaw.
That was its tendency to affect individuals, causing massive changes in one’s personality.
Fortunately, Ye Siqi seemed minimally affected by the Chaos Demon Qi, otherwise, her manner of speaking wouldn’t be as it was now.
Upon hearing Xu Nian’s inquiry, Ye Siqi’s face revealed a hint of sorrow as if she had an unspeakable secret.
"If you don’t want to answer, it’s okay." Xu Nian said.
Ye Siqi nodded and said, "Will you accompany me in doing something?"
"What is it?" Xu Nian curiously asked.
"Go to the Ziwei Sect and help me kill someone." Ye Siqi suddenly said through clenched teeth.
"Kill someone? Who?" Xu Nian asked in surprise.
