Boom!
As the soul eagle lunged down, Blood Eye arrived on the scene. He raised his hand, and a dense wave of black flame hurtled toward that azure-robed figure in the darkness.
This figure was identical to the one the soul eagle had spotted during the day.
But a moment later, in an explosion of Stellar Energy, that azure-robed figure was obliterated, showering the area with bits and pieces that were soon consumed by the black flames.
A decoy!
Blood Eye's pupils constricted and he instantly paled. Although the black flames were powerful and able to burn anything, they were not so powerful that they could instantly burn a living person to nothing.
Blood Eye instantly realized that he had taken the bait.
”Damn it!”
Blood Eye recalled a certain rumor, and his heart exploded with rage. It was said that the old scoundrel from Sindhu had given their target an object that could allow him to notice them beforehand. There was no question that this was exactly what had occurred.
They had all been played!
”Milord, we've discovered the target on the southwestern part of the mountain!” a black-clothed subordinate suddenly said.
”Let's go! Today, no matter what, we have to kill him and obtain the objective!” Blood Eye fiercely said. With the three commanders holding down the base of the mountain, that brat would find it difficult to escape even if he suddenly sprouted wings. As long as he remained on the mountain, he would never escape their grasp.
Just as Blood Eye was about to lead his men elsewhere…
Swoosh!
”Monsters of the evil path, where do you think you're going?!” an elderly voice brimming with killing intent roared, and before they could react, a vast torrent of energy came pouring down the mountain.
Blood Eye grimaced and immediately turned around, thrusting out a palm. Two steely tides of energy collided, but Blood Eye remained steadfast, a rock standing tall in the middle of a dreadful river. However, before Blood Eye could counter, he heard a chorus of screams. Ten-some men in black were swept away by this energy like autumn leaves on the breeze.
”You members of the evil path dare to act so unbridled in the territory of the Righteous Alliance! This old man will spare none of you!”
In the darkness stood an old man with white hair and muscular arms, his entire body exuding an astonishing aura.
Zhong Lizi!
This was a guest elder of the Righteous Alliance, and the Sect Master of the Origin Yang Sect. Zhong Lizi had been a good friend of the Righteous Alliance Lord for several decades and was one of the strongest elders of the Righteous Alliance, on par with Sikong Yuanjia.
”Hmph! The rest of you go!”
Blood Eye made a gesture behind him while he remained to keep a watch on Zhong Lizi.
Plush! A sound like a sharp blade cutting through flesh could be heard, and then a sharp bone more than two feet long protruded from Blood Eye's spine, followed by a second, a third… In the blink of an eye, a sharp bone had protruded out of every part of Blood Eye's back. And his aura also experienced a heaven-shaking transformation, becoming much more dangerous, brimming with ruthlessness, cruelty, and chaos.
Buzz!
Zhong Lizi's pupils constricted and his face twisted.
Zhong Lizi had seen many things in his decades living in the world of sects, and he understood countless martial arts like the back of his hand. But he had never heard of an art like this that could transform one's body and multiply one's strength several times. This was no longer in the scope of ordinary martial arts.
”Devil! You're all devils!”
A look of extreme shock appeared in Zhong Lizi's eyes, but also intense killing intent. No matter who they were, their conduct tonight alone was enough to sign their death sentences.
”Kekeke, how can ordinary folk know the methods of the celestials? Ant, let me end your life!”
Blood Eye's long hair dropped down and began to dance and tremble. Strange laughter came out of his mouth as he stared at Zhong Lizi, his body erupting with an intense and almost tangible killing intent.
In a burst of Stellar Energy, Blood Eye shot toward Zhong Lizi.
Boom! Boom!
In a flash, the two of them were moving around like lightning bolts as they fiercely battled. The other men in black, however, swiftly made their way to the southwest. But after barely setting out, that man in black who had first notified Blood Eye suddenly stopped and grimaced.
The organization of men in black had a special technique: as long as they had an article of clothing or something that the target used every day, they could detect the target's aura within a certain range. But just a moment ago, while they still sensed their target in the southwest, they had also detected their target's aura in the southeast and northeast.
