The Black Yin Ancestor instantly scowled, his heart shivering. They might have had a chance before, but now that Wang Chong was recovering his energy, this hope had become tiny.
Cough, cough!
At this moment, coughing came from the distance, an ordinary cough that would have been ignored at any other time. But at this time, from this direction… Everyone immediately turned to look. Even Wang Chong raised an eyebrow as he turned his head.
The coughing was coming from the direction of the passage, and it was followed by a weak and derisive voice.
”Heh, you think you've won, don't you?”
The area suddenly became much quieter. Even though Wang Chong's formidable strike had seemingly killed all the men in black, a fish had still managed to escape the net.
”The Tiger Immortal!”
The Black Yin Ancestor grimaced, and fear appeared in his eyes. They had all seen the Tiger Immortal's power, and even though he sounded extremely weak, just the fact that he was still alive made the hearts of many people grow cold.
The members of the Five Ancestor Alliance who had been greedily eyeing Wang Chong immediately began to back away. Even the Black Yin Ancestor and Myriad Ghost Ancestor quailed, their eyes losing their sharpness.
”Hmph! A bunch of villains!”
Wang Chong glanced in contempt at them before grabbing the Origin Immortal Sword and striding over. After making his way ten-some meters into the passage, Wang Chong finally saw the body of the Tiger Immortal.
A vicious wound across his chest had cut him almost in half, and his organs were exposed.
The Tiger Immortal was on his dying breath, but he was still alive. Wang Chong's attack that could make gods and devils weep had not been able to instantly kill him.
As he watched Wang Chong get closer and closer, there was no fear in his eyes, only a bizarre smile.
”Hah, you must think that everything is over now that you've defeated us. Unfortunately, none of you understand that this is only the beginning. Even if you give your all, none of you will be able to leave this place alive.”
The Tiger Immortal's voice was tinged with indescribable derision.
Whoooah!
The crowd grimaced, and some of the weaker martial artists even paled.
”This bastard! Even when he's dying, he still wants to scare us!”
The Black Yin Ancestor's group was furious.
”You're not the one who can decide whether we can get out of here alive!”
Wang Chong's eyes flashed as he coldly laughed and used the Origin Immortal Sword to end the Tiger Immortal's life.
The Demonic Emperor Old Man suddenly walked forward and sternly said, ”Chong-er, this matter isn't as simple as it seems!”
The Wushang Village Chief ambled forward on his white cane and added, ”This scoundrel didn't seem like he was making a mere threat.”
”Mm! I know!”
Wang Chong nodded.
Unlike the Black Yin Ancestor, he sensed that the Tiger Immortal was not merely trying to frighten them with his dying words.
But for Wang Chong, it wasn't important whether these words were true or false.
”There's a way to deal with everything. Regardless of what he means, we just need to be more careful. Besides, everything is over, and only one matter remains now.”
The men in black had been wiped out, so all they needed was to obtain the Origin Immortal Art to bring everything to an end.
Buzz!
Wang Chong opened his hand and drew the Seven-Inch Immortal Axe off the ground in a flash of golden light, taking the Tiger Immortal's ritual tool as his own.
Everyone saw this, but no one said a word. Not even the Black Yin Ancestor or Bone Devil Ancestor dared to voice an objection.
Wang Chong had defeated the Tiger Immortal, so the spoils were naturally his.
Everything calmed back down now that the battle was over, but no one noticed a pair of eyes staring at Wang Chong.
Thump! As the crowd fell silent, there was a thump of a pair of knees striking the ground in front of Wang Chong.
”The Origin Immortal lineage pays respects to the young patriarch!”
A middle-aged woman, her appearance rather ragged but her eyes still brimming with dignity, had kneeled in front of Wang Chong.
”Paying respects to the young patriarch!”
”Paying respects to the young patriarch!”
The other Origin Immortal Villagers in the back also kneeled behind the middle-aged woman.
Swoosh!
The crowd exploded, and all the martial artists, whether righteous or evil, instantly focused on the Origin Immortal Villagers, particularly the middle-aged woman. All of them clearly recalled that she was their chief.
