Chaos Dao Sheng Jue

Chapter 1368 Do you dare to kill me?

Amidst the vast expanse of space, a middle-aged monk in a black robe sat cross-legged. His face was resolute, his brows radiating an air of unparalleled dominance. Beneath his thick brows lay a pair of deep, lake-like eyes.

At this moment, there was a ball of gorgeous flame between his palms, which was black with purple and purple with blue. In the flame, a transparent object the size of a Rubik's Cube could be vaguely seen, which was being refined by the flame. This flame was the legendary Samadhi True Fire.

The middle-aged monk concentrated on controlling the Samadhi True Fire, trying to completely refine the mysterious transparent object.

However, just when everything seemed to be going well, the Samadhi Fire went out without any warning, and the transparent space also suddenly disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, a figure appeared out of thin air in front of the middle-aged monk.

The man who came was about fifty or sixty years old, with gray hair tied into a Taoist bun, a thin face, sharp eyes, a slight goatee, and wearing a tattered Taoist robe full of patches. He was an old Taoist priest.

Although he had a good appearance, the thumb-sized black mole on his left cheek made the old Taoist priest look a little unruly, yet exuded an ethereal and mysterious aura.

The middle-aged man slowly opened his eyes, and there was not much expression on his face when he saw the person coming, as if everything had been expected.

Then, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and sneered: "If I don't take this approach, will you not come out to see me?" There was a subtle hint of sarcasm in his tone.

The old Taoist priest stood in the air not far away, his eyes calm as water, and then said in a calm tone:

"What difference does it make whether we meet or not? It won't change the outcome."

The middle-aged monk snorted coldly, staring at the old Taoist priest with a sharp gaze, "Don't act so superior here. Our bet is about to expire, and you have already lost."

The old Taoist smiled slightly upon hearing this, his eyes revealing a trace of composure. "Don't worry, if I really lose, I will keep my promise to you. But if you dare to interfere again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Hahahaha...ruthless? What a joke!" The middle-aged cultivator laughed heartily. "Do you dare to kill me? Killing me is like killing yourself. After only seeing each other for tens of millions of years, have you forgotten that I am you, and you are me?"

Before he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot, as if he had never appeared.

Seeing this, the old Taoist priest shook his head helplessly, and then his figure flashed and disappeared into the endless void of the universe...

In the world of golden beads, Little Golden Ginseng squatted aside, staring at Lu Chen without blinking, and the worry in his heart became more and more intense.

"Why hasn't the boss woken up yet?" he muttered to himself, his voice trembling. "Is there something that hasn't fully healed yet?"

Xiao Qiu walked to Xiao Jinshen and looked at Lu Chen with the same worry, then comforted him: "Don't worry too much, the boss must have encountered some special circumstances during the recovery process, we just need to wait patiently."

"But..." Little Golden Ginseng looked up at Xiaoqiu, his eyes full of confusion. "This has never happened before. No matter how badly injured Boss was, as long as he came under the Chaos Tree, he would recover quickly. Why is it so different this time?"

Xiaoqiu was silent for a while, then said:

"Perhaps it's because the damage this time was beyond our imagination. I don't know who the boss was fighting with outside to be injured like this, but the fact that he was able to escape back is already a blessing in disguise."

Xiao Jinshen lowered his head and clenched his fists, "I want to become stronger so that the boss won't be injured so badly next time." His tone was firm and his eyes flashed with determination.

"Come on, I'm stronger than you, and the boss is stronger than me, right? The boss is so seriously injured, the opponent must be extraordinary. If the two of us go up, we will only die." Xiao Qiu teased when he heard this.

As time passed, more than a month passed in the blink of an eye, but Lu Chen was still in a deep sleep. Xiao Jinshen's mood changed from initial anxiety to helplessness and sadness.

He looked at Xiaoqiu from time to time, trying to find some comfort, but found that Xiaoqiu's eyes were also full of worry.

Zhou Mengxi also had an anxious look on her face. Her tears had already dried up, but it was of no use. She could only follow Xiao Qiu and Xiao Jinshen, quietly staying by Lu Chen's side, praying that he would wake up soon.

"Xiao Qiu, do you think my husband will never wake up?" Zhou Mengxi finally couldn't help asking, with a hint of sob in her voice.

Xiao Qiu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then forced a smile. "How is that possible? Don't worry, sister-in-law. The eldest brother is the strongest man. He must just need more time to recover. We have to trust him."

During this period, because Lu Chen had been in a coma, Xiao Qiu rarely showed maturity and stability. He tried his best to comfort Xiao Jin and Zhou Mengxi. In fact, he was also worried about Lu Chen's safety.

That day, Lu Chen's fingers moved slightly. This subtle movement instantly excited Xiao Jin, Xiao Qiu, and Zhou Mengxi.

"Boss, you're awake!" Xiao Jinshen cheered, tears welling up in his eyes.

"My husband, I'm glad you're okay." Zhou Mengxi embraced Lu Chen in her arms.

"Boss, you finally woke up. We have been worried about you this month." Xiao Qiu shouted happily.

Lu Chen slowly opened his eyes, and the blurry figure in front of him gradually became clear. Seeing the concerned looks of Xiao Jinshen, Xiao Qiu, and Zhou Mengxi, he smiled slightly and said softly, "I'm fine, I just need some time to recover."

"Husband, what happened? How did you get so badly injured?" Zhou Mengxi asked impatiently.

Lu Chen took a deep breath and recalled his memories before his consciousness faded. Thinking of that terrifying seal still makes him feel scared.

"It's okay, I just met a guy who is stronger than me, but I have escaped his pursuit." In order not to make Zhou Mengxi worry, Lu Chen did not tell the truth.

"My husband, can you please consider us more in your future actions, avoid taking risks, and don't provoke monks who are more powerful than you?

Even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about us. If something happens to you, how will we survive?" Zhou Mengxi persuaded affectionately.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen's heart was touched, and he immediately assured: "This time it was just an accident. I promise to be careful in the future. But you don't have to worry. I have the Golden Pearl World, so I will definitely have no problem saving my life at the critical moment."

"Yeah," Zhou Mengxi nodded after hearing that, looking very lovable...
