Peerless War God

As the killer leader turned around, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and he became extremely anxious.    

Then, a blood-colored escape talisman appeared in his hand. Escaping for his life was more important.    

Forget it, there was no need to think too much about it. Escaping for his life was the most important thing. As for other things, he could think about it later. With his current state, his strength was damaged, and he was still injured. He was far from being Chen Xiao's match.    

"Escaping for his life is the most important thing. Blood Escape Technique."    

He held the blood talisman in his left hand and punched his chest with his right fist. He spat out a mouthful of blood from his heart and splashed it on the blood talisman. He then squeezed it lightly.    

A bloody light surged out, turning into a bloody cocoon that wrapped around the killer leader's body, intending to break through the air.    

"Soul Seizing Sword, go."    

"Pa."    

Suddenly, a green sword light flashed and disappeared, piercing through the blood cocoon. The bloody light shattered, and the Blood Escape Technique lost its effect. The killer leader fell out of it and fell to the ground.    

His face was pale and looked very weak. It was obvious that this mouthful of blood had consumed a lot of his essence energy.    

What was even more terrifying was that he had originally wanted to use the Blood Escape Technique to escape, but he failed. This made him feel very afraid.    

"What? He actually failed? This is impossible."    

The killer leader's face was filled with panic. He was at a loss and staggered for a long time before he finally stabilized his body.    

At this time, Chen Xiao flew over and stopped in midair, confronting him.    

Chen Xiao sneered and said, "I knew you would have this move, so I used the Soul Seizing Sword to break your Blood Escape Technique. Now, you have nowhere to run, right, Protector Hei?"    

Although the Evil Cult had suffered heavy losses in the battle to exterminate the Black Sky Evil Cult, they had failed to kill Protector Hei and had escaped.    

Protector Hei was very mysterious. He wore black clothes and a black mask, and his scarlet eyes were filled with a monstrous killing intent. No one knew his identity.    

It was indeed quite troublesome to hide such a threat in the dark.    

However, what Chen Xiao did not expect was that the other party would actually interfere in the fight for the throne of the Peerless Dynasty.    

It seemed that the other party's identity was related to the Seventh Prince. Otherwise, why would he take such a risk to do such a thing?    

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes and made many guesses about his identity.    

"Hmph, Chen Xiao, I didn't expect it to be you again, ruining my plans." Protector Hei said fiercely, unwilling to admit defeat.    

"Don't talk nonsense. What is your identity? Why are you involved in this matter? Or is it that the Black Sky Evil Cult has revived? Are you still unwilling to give up?"    

Chen Xiao asked coldly.    

"Haha, let's cut the crap. Since you have fallen into my hands today, you can be considered to have admitted defeat. However, if you want to take my life, you have to pay the price."    

As he spoke, Protector Hei did not show any weakness. He took out a black medicinal pill and stuffed it into his mouth, swallowing it down.    

"What is this?" The Third Prince was startled and subconsciously retreated.    

"Woof." When Fugui saw this, his hair stood on end, and his face was filled with shock.    

Chen Xiao's face turned cold as he said coldly, "Devil Pill. This pill can disturb one's mind and make them lose their way. At the same time, it will forget all pain. It will stimulate a huge amount of potential in a short period of time, causing one's combat strength to double. However, the backlash is also huge. Once the medicinal strength passes, one will completely become a walking corpse. Even if the person with strong strength is able to retain their mind and not lose it, they will also become a slave controlled by the Devil Pill. It is better to die than live."    

When the Third Prince heard this, he was stunned, "So terrifying? It's too terrifying."    

He now understood a little. Back then, the Black Evil Cult could cause such a huge ruckus, and this strange Devil Pill was indispensable.    

When the nearby Black Protector heard this, he laughed out loud and said, "Die? Haha, what do you know? As long as I can obtain a powerful strength, I am willing to pay any price."    

"A powerful strength, right?"    

When Chen Xiao heard this, he seemed to be lost in thought.    

He did not have any intention of advising him, and he only felt sad. Apart from that, he did not have many thoughts.    

When the Devil Pill entered his body, the evil energy corroded over, causing Black Protector's eyes to turn pitch black. His evil aura rose sharply, as if he was a rotten corpse. His aura was constantly increasing in strength, becoming more and more shocking.    

"Brother Chen Xiao, this doesn't seem to be good." When the Third Prince saw this, he became anxious and said worriedly.    

Chen Xiao sneered, "His mind is about to be completely eroded by the demonic energy. At that time, he will be a walking corpse, and there will be nothing left."    

"Is that so?"    

"Yes, he did not control himself and wanted to counterattack before he died. Unfortunately, he miscalculated and retreated quickly."    

Chen Xiao shouted lightly, grabbed the Third Prince's shoulder, and quickly retreated.    

The Black Protector, who had swallowed so many demonic pills, did not dare to face him head-on even if he was the Black Protector. In addition, he was still injured, so it was better to not fight him head-on.    

"Ah?"    

The Third Prince screamed, and he could not react in time.    

In the blink of an eye, the two of them retreated dozens of kilometers. They stood on a mountain top and looked down at the Black Protector who was chasing after them.    

"Don't run, if you have the guts, don't run. Kill, kill me, kill me, and fight me. I won't rest until you die."    

The Black Protector roared, and the black aura in his eyes became more and more intense. In the end, his last bit of consciousness was gradually lost.    

Once his consciousness was completely lost, he would become a walking corpse. If his consciousness was erased, it would be equivalent to death.    

And this was the price of swallowing a large number of demonic pills and obtaining great power.    

When the Third Prince saw this, he took a deep breath.    

"Is this the price? If I had to become like this, I would rather not have this power. It's too terrifying."    

Chen Xiao smiled and did not comment.    

Everyone's experiences were different, so naturally, their views on power were different. As a member of the royal family, the Third Prince's path of growth was smooth and without any setbacks. It was naturally impossible for him to understand.    

After a pause, the Third Prince asked, "What should we do next?"    

The current Black Protector had already been corroded by the evil energy and lost his mind. He had become a walking corpse that only knew how to kill. If he were to kill him forcefully, it would not be easy, and he would have to pay a high price.    

But if he was left alone, it would be even worse.    

Chen Xiao smiled faintly and said, "The current Black Protector is like a headless fly that only knows how to kill. He doesn't know the direction of the target. As long as he is guided a little, it will be enough."    

As he spoke, Chen Xiao took out a Profound Theory Puppet. This puppet was tattered and its power was not as great as before.    

Previously in the secret realm, Chen Xiao had lost a large number of puppets, and it was extremely troublesome to repair them. There were also many puppets that were in tatters and had no time to repair them.    

But now, it was put to use.    

"Puppet? It's so tattered. Is it useful?" The Third Prince asked doubtfully.    

Chen Xiao chuckled and pointed with his finger. A stream of magic power entered the puppet's body, and it emitted an aura of an immortal-level. At first glance, it really did look like an immortal-level puppet.    

The Third Prince was pleasantly surprised and smiled. "So it's like this?"    

"The method is always better than the trouble. Go."    

Chen Xiao smiled and threw the puppet out.    

The puppet that was emitting the aura of Chen Xiao rushed towards the black protector. The two of them fought against each other.    

The black protector who had been lost in his thoughts attacked with all his strength. He hated Chen Xiao to the bone and could not tell if he was a puppet or a real person. He attacked with all his strength, not caring about the overconsumption of his magic power.
