86: Gang up on

Of course, Ghost Emperor didn't understand what the other party meant, because he never thought that the other party would be in the Venerable Realm.

One must know that a Venerable Realm expert is an absolute overlord in a medium-sized domain, and even in a large-sized domain, he is a giant, possessing an extremely high status.

He stopped talking to the beasts, as that would only bring trouble upon himself.

He turned to look at Lin Yan, bowed respectfully, and said, "This old man, Guimu, greets Senior!"

Lin Yan watched him silently for a long time, his tone betraying no emotion, and said faintly, "You must have at least tens of millions of lives on your hands, right?"

Upon hearing this, beads of sweat the size of soybeans appeared on Ghost Emperor's forehead, and he was filled with fear, not expecting the other party to see through his past with a single glance.

Ghost Emperor's true identity was an evil cultivator from a large-sized domain. The reason he fell to this state was precisely because he committed many evil deeds and, after being hunted, used a secret technique to escape to the Yinshan Domain.

Finally, he fell into a deep sleep within the Ghost Mask (Ghost Mask) and left behind a legacy, hoping to revive through it.

He had blood-sacrificed countless sects and even mortal cities, committing monstrous acts of slaughter, his hands stained with blood and resentful souls.

Now, being exposed by this super expert, who was suspected to be a Venerable, he feared he would not be easily let off.

Seeing that the other party remained silent, Lin Yan also lost interest. For him, demon cultivators and evil cultivators were far too common. While he wouldn't specifically go out of his way to eliminate these people...

If he encountered them, he would never show mercy. After all, there were countless evil paths on this continent, and he couldn't possibly search for and eradicate them all.

Such things happened daily in every corner of the continent, and he couldn't manage it even if he wanted to, so he wouldn't interfere in the disputes of the cultivation world.

However, if he encountered them, it meant their time was up, and he would casually suppress and kill them.

Seeing Lin Yan remain silent, Ghost Emperor's heart grew even more flustered. Gritting his teeth, he solemnly said to the other party, "Senior, I am the grand-disciple of an elder of the Dark Alliance."

"For the sake of my grandmaster, Venerable Heishan, I beg you to show mercy and spare my life!"

Everyone was even more astonished upon hearing this, not expecting this person to have such a background. Venerable, what an unattainable word.

But even Ghost Emperor, with his profound background, still bowed subserviently to the Chang Sheng Sect's ancestor, even bringing up his grandmaster.

From this, it could be concluded that the Chang Sheng Sect's ancestor's identity and strength were probably not inferior to the Venerable Realm.

Although they hadn't even reached the God-Emperor Realm, they had learned from some ancient texts that once a cultivator reached the Venerable Realm, they could comprehend the power of space.

They could tear open spatial rifts for long-distance travel. Just now, the Chang Sheng Sect's ancestor had emerged from a spatial rift.

The result was obvious: the Chang Sheng Sect possessed a super expert in the Venerable Realm.

"Hmph!"

"What kind of Dark Alliance? They're just rats in the shadows of the continent, not fit to be seen."

Before Lin Yan could speak, Nether Lightning Sky Tiger sneered.

As former Demon Venerables, they had naturally heard of the Dark Alliance. Its elders were all Venerable Realm experts, and its leader was unfathomable, with no one knowing his specific cultivation.

Once they and the other demonic beasts recovered to the Venerable Realm, they would have no fear of the so-called Dark Alliance. In fact, when they broke through to the Saint Realm in the future, it wouldn't be impossible to join forces and eradicate the other party.

Therefore, it was completely dismissive of Ghost Emperor's words.

Lin Yan had also heard of the Dark Alliance, but its caliber was too low for him to take seriously, so Ghost Emperor's threat was nothing more than a joke.

He slowly uttered, "Kill him!"

And then no longer paid attention to the other party.

"Yes!"

The beasts responded excitedly upon hearing this.

They had been itching to act after this old fellow had been babbling for so long. Now that their master had spoken, there was no need for the other party to live.

Boom! Crack!

A bolt of lightning condensed from Nether Lightning Sky Tiger's single horn and struck towards Ghost Emperor.

After hearing Lin Yan's words, Ghost Emperor's heart went cold. He knew there was no room for negotiation. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes; even if he died, he would drag the other party down with him.

Ghost Emperor's target was naturally Nether Lightning Sky Tiger, whose cultivation was inferior to his. The venomous dragon was summoned again, swallowing the lightning power into its belly, and continued to pounce towards the other party.

"Holy crap!"

"Old fellows, quickly lend me a hand."

Nether Lightning Sky Tiger cried out, its spiritual power almost completely depleted, leaving it with little strength.

"Coming!"

The Black Flood Dragon transformed into its true form, a giant beast over a hundred zhang long appearing out of thin air. With a flick of its tail, it easily dispersed the venomous dragon.

Ghost Emperor was greatly alarmed. This Black Flood Dragon had actually reached the God-Emperor Realm Late Stage. Even his former self might not have been its match.

Not to mention his current state, with most of his spiritual power depleted.

"How about it?"

"I advise you not to resist stubbornly. You'll go more peacefully."

The Black Flood Dragon opened its maw, letting out a low growl.

Suddenly, countless lava and flames erupted from the void beneath Ghost Emperor's feet, engulfing his body.

"Ah ah ah!"

Ghost Emperor immediately let out a painful scream. Everyone turned around, only to see a lava giant beast, also several tens of zhang tall and a hundred zhang long, raising its front paw.

Clearly, that attack just now had been unleashed by it.

"Don't crush him to death!"

"That would be too easy for him."

Nether Lightning Sky Tiger reminded.

Huodou was the first to emerge from the Demon Lock Tower and also the first demonic beast to use the immortal spirit liquid. Its strength had now recovered to the Half-Step Venerable Realm.

It wouldn't be long before it re-entered the Venerable Realm, only one minor realm away from its former cultivation.

Coupled with the baptism of the immortal spirit liquid, it would not remain stagnant in the Venerable Realm Middle Stage, and breaking through to the later realms would be a matter of course.

"Haha, I'm holding back."

Huodou laughed, signaling that it shouldn't worry.

If it really wanted to take the other party's life, that one strike just now would have been enough.

Ghost Emperor, scorched by the lava flames, now appeared in everyone's sight.

His originally pitch-black true form was now a bloody red, clearly stained by the power of lava, which was difficult to extinguish for a while.

"You are going too far!"

Ghost Emperor's tone contained endless anger, and a deep sense of despair.

"Ah."

He knew he was doomed to die. Ignoring the cost, he frantically burned his life, and ghost qi surged out from his body.

"Blood Soul Kill!"

He used his last trump card, burning his essence blood and lifespan as a price, transforming into a bloody ghost claw that pierced through the void, grabbing directly at Nether Lightning Sky Tiger.

"Holy crap!"

"Fiery dog, save me!"

Even the Black Flood Dragon couldn't stop this strike in time. After all, Ghost Emperor was a God-Emperor Realm Late Stage cultivator, and a strike unleashed by burning his essence blood was truly terrifying.

"Hmph!"

Huodou let out a cold snort.

"Flame Burst!"

The ghost claw had already reached not far from Nether Lightning Sky Tiger, and in the next moment, it would pierce through its massive body. But the entire void erupted like a volcanic eruption.

A pillar of lava fire appeared out of thin air, carrying an endless terrifying might, soaring into the sky, directly colliding with the ghost claw.

The full-power Flame Burst instantly devoured the ghost claw. Ghost Emperor suffered a backlash, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, his body reverting to a withered state, and he swayed precariously.

His aura plummeted, dropping a thousand zhang.
