Chapter 1016: Showdown (Part 1)
It was not just for his bloodline, but also to uncover the secrets behind the Samsara Graveyard.
At this moment, the formation barrier was still shrinking, and there was less and less space for them to move around in.
…
Ten minutes later, Ye Chen, Ji Siqing, and the others finally stopped.
They had already arrived at a huge plaza, which was elevated five meters above the ground and shaped like a huge circle.
It was obvious that this was the place where the Blood Spirit Clan members resided.
“Let’s go,” Mo Ning said as she looked at the formation barrier that was still closing in from behind them.
Everyone jumped up onto the plaza, and when they landed, the formation simultaneously stopped shrinking.
However, everything around them was sealed.
It was obvious that this was the place that they were being guided toward.
Pa, pa, pa!
Suddenly, a round of applause resounded, and when they looked around, they saw a sage-like old man staring at them with interest while clapping.
Behind the old man were three other old men. Each of their eyes were filled with anger, seemingly wanting to tear Ye Chen and the others into pieces.
After all, their brothers had died in the hands of these people.
One of the Blood Spirit Clan members could not hold it in any longer. He was about to attack when he was stopped by the sage-like old man in black.
“Third Brother, these visitors are guests. Don’t attack them.”
Third Brother was stunned. He looked at the sage-like old man and said angrily, “First Brother, these guys killed Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother. If we don’t kill them, how can we avenge our dead brothers? No matter what, these people must die!”
The sage-like old man was clearly the strongest expert among the remaining four, and also their leader.
The sage-like old man smiled without any anger. Then, he waved his arm gently, and Third Brother was instantly pushed back to his original position.
“Killing them and taking revenge will happen,” he said calmly, “But I still have many questions for them, so they can’t die yet.”
After saying that, the old man took three steps forward, placed his hands behind his back and stared at Mo Ning.
“Miss, you were lucky enough to escape a few days ago. Today, we meet again. However, this time, the Blood Spirit Clan does not intend to let you escape!”
“I’m very curious about your identity. You are clearly only in your twenties, but I can see the passage of the river of time in your eyes. I want to know who you are.”
Mo Ning snorted coldly. Her entire body was covered in a cold aura, and her killing intent exploded. “You don’t have the right to know my identity. If it wasn’t for the fact that I can’t reach my peak strength here, you would have died when we met earlier. Don’t try to act all high and mighty with me.”
The sage-like old man laughed loudly. “What a fierce woman. I really don’t know where your confidence comes from. From your aura, I can tell that you’re injured. It seems that the Fifth Brother has done us a favor.”
“You are the strongest person in this group, but you are definitely no match for Fifth Brother when he uses his trump card. I want to know how you killed him!”
This was also the question that the old man wanted the answer to the most.
The moment his connection with his fifth brother was severed, he caught a vague glimpse of something…
It was an extremely terrifying attack!
In his opinion, among these people, only Mo Ning was capable of unleashing such a powerful attack. After all, Ye Chen was merely an origin king realm cultivator, so the suspicion did not fall on him.
“Answer me, I might consider granting you a swift death.”
His voice was filled with coldness and disdain, and it felt like he believed that the outcome of this battle was already set in stone.
However, how could Mo Ning yield? She took a step forward, and her red dress fluttered in the wind as her aura erupted.
“So what if I killed those two? Since I came here, my only goal has been to destroy all of you Blood Spirit Clan survivors!”
“The Blood Spirit Clan shouldn’t exist!”
When the sage-like old man heard the word ‘survivors’, his eyes narrowed and his smile vanished.
He hated it when people insulted the Blood Spirit Clan, especially when these people were nothing but lowly ants.
“Do you really think that you are something special because you killed Fifth Brother? Today, I’ll have you experience what true fear is!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind blew across the entire plaza, and a terrifying power suddenly surged forth.
He drew his sword and shot toward Mo Ning.
Mo Ning’s eyes were cold. She could sense the power contained in this attack.
She was clearly unable to stop him now, but she had to try her best to endure. Her aura rose as she took out a red sword.
As strands of sword qi danced around her, she swung her sword, which collided with the sage-like old man’s sword…
“Bang!”
The red sword shattered!
Seeing this, the old man dashed and arrived in front of Mo Ning.
Mo Ning’s fingers formed a seal, and her expression changed slightly. She knew that the opponent was strong, but this fellow was much stronger than she expected, especially in her injured state. Perhaps if she could use the light of reincarnation, she might still be qualified to fight him, but that was not the case now.
Seeing that his sword was about to pierce Mo Ning’s body, the sage-like old man laughed. “An ant is indeed an ant. I thought you could withstand some of my power, but it seems that I overestimated you. You can’t even withstand a single blow. What a joke.”
Mo Ning’s face turned pale. However, just when she thought that everything was over, she saw a figure standing in front of her.
Naturally, this was Ye Chen.
At this moment, a knowing smile appeared on her face.
She had come here not because of her own strength, but because of the tomb master and the power behind him. She did not believe that the tomb master would meet an untimely death before his potential was fully realized.
However, the tomb master was only an origin king realm cultivator, so what would happen if Senior Xue Qiye did not help?
