Chapter 865 Why do this?
After this blue mist emerged like lightning, the surrounding temperature dropped suddenly.
A cold blue light suddenly enveloped the entire sword.
Yan Zhen's sword body also changed rapidly.
Countless cold rays flashed and turned into sharp swords.
Whoosh whoosh—
These sharp swords struck the old man in front of them with great momentum.
"Haha, this ice sword technique can lower the temperature around it when used."
"If it's a weak opponent, the cold energy emanating from this sword alone can quickly defeat the opponent."
Yan Zhen was shocked to see that the old man understood his sword skills.
"Tell me, who are you? Why are you so familiar with my Ice Sword Technique?"
No wonder Yan Zhen was so surprised.
The key point is that his sword technique is top secret in the underworld, and he is qualified to learn this sword technique because he is the commander of the guards of the King of Hell.
In the entire underworld, there are no more than two dozen people who are qualified to learn this sword technique. Now that he saw that he could not defeat the old man without extraordinary means, Yan Zhen decided to use this top-secret sword technique and also used magic to attack.
Now countless ice swords are slashing towards the old man.
The ice sword technique he learned can not only kill people, but also destroy souls.
But what surprised Yan Zhen was that the old man saw him launch an attack but didn't care at all. During this period, he didn't even dodge at all.
The key point is that he also explained to them the characteristics of this set of ice sword techniques.
After Yan Zhen asked, the old man did not answer his question immediately, but waved his hand gently.
He did not wave his hands to resist these ice swords, but waved them in the air.
But even so, looking at those ice swords again, they instantly changed direction and hit the wall on one side hard.
Looking at these ice swords again, they pierced through the wall with a whoosh and disappeared.
Seeing that the attack failed, Yan Zhen couldn't help but scream.
At this moment, the old man smiled at them again.
"I told you to stop fooling around, but you just wouldn't listen."
Yan Zhen and Li Xixi were both stunned.
Chen Yile, who was watching the battle from behind, couldn't help but frown. He thought to himself, no wonder the old man before was able to use evil magic to easily take away their weapons. It seems that he is indeed a master.
Thinking this in his mind, Chen Yile also jumped over.
When he came to a place not far from the old man, Chen Yile clasped his fists towards him.
"Old man, I wonder who you are? Just now, my two partners were in a hurry and attacked you. Please forgive me."
When Chen Yile said this, the old man couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"You, kid, are able to keep your composure, but the other two are a bit more irritable..."
Yan Zhen and Li Xixi had just failed in the competition with the old man, but that didn't mean they were convinced.
Seeing Chen Yile speaking nice words to him, Li Xixi became even angrier.
"Chen Yile, what are you doing? You even said that we were impatient and shouldn't have attacked him. I feel like I did nothing wrong."
"To tell you the truth, I've never regretted attacking that old man. I just regret not learning the skills properly back then."
"Maybe if I study hard, I can kill this old guy right now..."
Yan Zhen also meant this: "Chen Yile, we understand what you are thinking, but we may not agree with what you are thinking."
"In this situation, what right do you have to say good things to him?"
"He's been plotting against us, and now you're still speaking well of him. Does that mean we can't tell right from wrong just because our opponent is so powerful? Does that mean we can let him do what he wants?"
"Hahaha--"
The white-bearded old man next to him laughed again when he heard this.
"Do you think you're just being stubborn?"
"You..." Yan Zhen was so angry that he was speechless and couldn't say anything.
At this moment, he truly felt the humiliation of a weak person.
Just now at the door, they were teased by this old man and framed by him, which led to them directly offending the monster. Now, the other party is still so rampant.
Li Xixi said angrily, "Chen Yile, this is your principle, and you actually say good things about him?"
"You're just being a wimp."
Seeing that Li Xixi misunderstood what he meant, Chen Yile explained with a smile.
"I'm telling you guys, can you please not be so anxious? I don't think the old man has any malicious intentions."
"Otherwise, how did we find this thing here?"
As he said this, Chen Yile shook the fragment of the Broken Soul Monument in his hand.
When Chen Yile gave this reason, Li Xixi and Yan Zhen instantly calmed down.
They also felt that what Chen Yile said was right.
It is crucial to find the fragments of the Soul-Breaking Monument. After all, it is related to whether the normal order of the underworld can be maintained.
Seeing that his two companions were speechless, Chen Yile smiled and continued to face the old man.
"Old man, may I ask your name? Thank you very much for leading us to this place just now."
Having said this, Chen Yile clasped his hands together and saluted the old man.
Seeing this, the old man laughed again: "You are a good boy, quite polite."
"I took advantage of you and then gave you the fragments of the Broken Soul Monument. So, we're even."
"And you just buried my body, so I expressed my gratitude to you."
Chen Yile was even more surprised when he heard the old man admit what he had done.
"Old man, so you are the force that is fighting against that Demon Lord?
The old man smiled and said, "If you think so, then so be it."
After getting the confirmation, Chen Yile admired the old man even more.
"Old man, can you tell me why you do this?"
"Otherwise, my two companions have a deep misunderstanding of you. You saw it too. They both started fighting with you just now."
The old man laughed heartily. "Haha, yes, they even accused me of being thick-skinned. In that case, it seems I really need to prove my innocence."
Having said this, the old man began to tell the story.
"After seeing you enter the gate of Life and Death Cliff and knowing your purpose, I quickly set my sights on you."
"You guessed correctly. I just want to provoke a big battle between you and that monster."
The old man didn't admit it just now, but now he has taken the initiative to confess it. However, Chen Yile still expressed his incomprehension.
"Old man, why are you targeting us? Could it be that you can't defeat that Demon Lord with your own abilities?"
Seeing Chen Yile's doubts, the white-bearded old man smiled and explained the reason.
"How powerful do you think I am? You should know that I am only a soul and a spirit now."
"What, old man, you are just a soul and a spirit now?"
Chen Yile couldn't help but be shocked.
