249: The Soul Clan's backup, the strong man is in decline!
“Damn it!”
Soul Mie Sheng roared in anger.
From his Aura, one could feel that Xiao Chen's attack was extremely sharp and fierce.
After speaking, he suddenly puffed out his mouth, and a black ball of light, about half a zhang in size, shot out from his mouth.
Inside the black ball of light, there were bursts of shrill screams, as if countless Souls were devouring each other within it.
“Hiss!”
As soon as the black ball of light was spat out,
the bloody glow from Xiao Chen's axe strike collided with it.
In just an instant, a blood-red line spread across the pitch-black ball of light, and then with a 'bang', it slowly split into two halves.
“Pfft!”
Soul Mie Sheng spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face pale as he hastily retreated.
Xiao Chen's attack was unbelievably sharp; wherever his Blood Axe passed, it seemed as if even the heavens and earth could be split open by it.
“Sky-Shattering Three Axes!”
Xiao Chen pursued the attack.
In his hand, the giant Blood Axe slashed out three consecutive times with a 'swish, swish'!
The next moment, three crimson bloodlines shot out from the Void Realm.
The bloodlines looked thin and weak, yet even Soul Mie Sheng felt an extremely strong sense of crisis from them.
“Soul Burial Technique!”
Soul Mie Sheng's body trembled, and his Soul actually floated out from between his eyebrows.
Immediately, the Soul's arms strangely exploded.
“Woo woo!”
Overwhelming black mist suddenly surged forth, obscuring the sky.
“Bang bang bang!”
Three bloodlines tore through layers of black clouds.
The first two were blocked by the black mist.
The last one shot into the center of the black mist.
“Ah!”
A shrill scream rang out.
The vast black clouds stiffened, and then quickly dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As the black clouds dispersed, everyone's gaze swept over, and they all gasped in cold air.
Just three axe strikes had carved a huge wound into a powerful expert like Soul Mie Sheng.
“Not dead yet?”
Xiao Chen seemed surprised.
Clearly, Xiao Chen hadn't expected Soul Mie Sheng, whose cultivation was weaker than his, to survive the Sky-Shattering Three Axes; this was extremely rare.
“Bastard!”
The injured Soul Mie Sheng looked at Xiao Chen, his eyes almost spitting fire; in all these years, it was the first time he had been so severely wounded by someone.
“Hall Master!”
“How are you, Hall Master?”
At this moment, Hun Feng and his companion finally arrived to check on Soul Mie Sheng's condition.
If Soul Mie Sheng died, then the two of them alone would not be able to protect the Purification Lotus Demon Flame.
“Don't worry, I'm not dead yet!”
Soul Mie Sheng took out a bottle of medicine and poured it on his gruesome wound, causing plumes of white mist to rise.
At this moment, Soul Mie Sheng's gaze hesitated for a moment, then he suddenly shouted loudly in a certain direction: “Old Demon, you've watched the show for so long, it's time for you to act, isn't it?”
“What? Could it be that the Hun Clan has also arranged for powerful experts to enter the Demon Flame Space?”
“I should have guessed it earlier; since they wanted to kill Young Master Gu Fei, they must have made thorough preparations...”
Hearing Soul Mie Sheng's words, the experts of the various Ancient Races began to discuss amongst themselves.
Their gazes searched all around.
They wanted to know where the Hun Clan's reinforcements were.
Gu Fei was not at all surprised by this situation; he had long anticipated that the Hun Clan had a backup plan.
“Soul Mie Sheng, I didn't expect you to be so useless; you've disappointed this old man too much...”
As many people searched,
an old sigh finally echoed in this Void Realm.
A grey-robed old man slowly walked out, shaking his head with a look of disappointment.
And as he walked out, his face also underwent some changes.
A pair of long black eyebrows hung down, appearing extremely strange.
“Soul Demon Elder, it's actually you?”
“Are you, the Hun Clan, really trying to break the agreement?”
Upon seeing this black-browed old man, Gu Nanhai and the other Ancient Race Elders all turned ugly.
Originally, Soul Mie Sheng was an Early Stage Five-star Dou Saint, and they had endured it, but now, they had actually sent out a Late Stage Five-star Dou Saint.
This was basically disregarding the Clan agreement.
“The Hun Clan is too shameless!”
Huo Zhi cursed without reservation.
She had just breathed a sigh of relief when Xiao Chen helped Gu Fei, but she hadn't expected the Hun Clan to be so unscrupulous this time.
The Soul Demon Elder was a renowned figure.
For such a person to be arranged to assassinate a junior was simply too shameless.
“Hehe, my Hun Clan and the Gu Clan have a deep-seated hatred, like the sea; in extraordinary times, extraordinary measures are naturally used, and that Clan agreement is not unbreakable!”
The black-browed old man, known as the Soul Demon Elder, paid no attention to the public criticism, merely smiling faintly.
He understood that even if they violated the Clan agreement today, the people of the other Ancient Races would at most just say a few words and wouldn't actually take action.
“Old Demon, hurry and make your move!”
Soul Mie Sheng's face was gloomy as he urged.
“Hehe, Soul Mie Sheng, I didn't expect you to be utterly helpless against this person!”
There was a hint of sarcasm in the Soul Demon Elder's words.
“Stop acting superior in front of this Hall Master; you haven't even looked at who this person is...”
After a brief exchange, Soul Mie Sheng finally guessed Xiao Chen's true identity.
And at this moment, Xiao Chen did not retreat due to the appearance of the Soul Demon Elder, still walking slowly forward.
“You must be Blood Axe Xiao Chen of the Xiao Clan, right? I didn't expect you to still be alive, but that's your good fortune. If you were still in the Xiao Clan, your fate would be similar to Xiao Xuan's!”
The Soul Demon Elder raised his head, looking at Xiao Chen who was slowly walking towards him, carrying the giant Blood Axe, his eyes flickering with an icy gleam.
“What happened to Cousin Xiao Xuan?”
Hearing someone mention the Xiao Clan, Xiao Chen's footsteps immediately halted, and he questioned.
“Haha, it seems you still don't know!”
“Your Xiao Clan was destroyed by my Hun Clan a thousand years ago, and no longer exists!”
“Xiao Xuan also died at the hands of my Clan Chief!” the Soul Demon Elder laughed several times.
He didn't deliberately fabricate anything, after all, with so many people present, it would be difficult to conceal certain things.
“How could Cousin Xiao Xuan have fallen?”
Hearing this, Xiao Chen subconsciously disbelieved it, a hint of doubt appearing in his eyes.
He knew his cousin's strength very well; unless a Dou Emperor acted, no one could threaten him.
Moreover, in those years, the Xiao Clan produced many powerful experts; how could it have been destroyed by the Hun Clan?
“You don't believe it? You can ask the others present if your Xiao Clan still exists!”
As the Soul Demon Elder's voice fell, Xiao Chen turned to the side, his gaze falling on Gu Fei, who had rescued him.
“Senior Xiao Chen, this matter is indeed true; the Xiao Clan exists in name only!”
Gu Fei nodded: “Back then, Xiao Xuan, in order to advance to Dou Emperor, sacrificed the Bloodline Power of the entire clan, but ultimately failed and was unfortunately ambushed by the Hun Clan, leading to his demise...”
Upon receiving confirmation from Gu Fei, Xiao Chen's eyes instantly dimmed considerably. At this moment, his heart was filled with immense regret, regretting that he could not fight for the Xiao Clan during such a critical moment for the clan.
