251: Bloody Altar

“I…”

You cursed inwardly.

Your hatred for Lin Chen, who had broken the God of One-on-One Battles, reached its Peak.

But you didn't have time to think too much now.

Because you could clearly feel strong auras appearing not far from you, one after another.

Each of them had a profound aura like an abyss, with wisps of Dao rhyme surrounding them, making them appear indescribably mysterious.

“It seems there’s a traitor among us.”

“However…”

“You old geezers, are you still a match for us now?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Cultivators of the Taiyin Realm immediately took action, engaging in battle with the Taiyi Realm Cultivators.

At this moment, their strength had greatly increased, and they immediately gained a slight advantage the moment they clashed.

Those Taiyi Realm Cultivators obviously realized this.

They no longer confronted them head-on.

Instead, they looked for opportunities and began to attack you.

The Taiyin Realm Cultivators began to protect you.

But their actions were counterproductive.

Originally, no matter who launched a sneak attack on you, you could resist it with the God of One-on-One Battles, but now there were several people in between.

Although they could block most of the damage for you, it still left you severely injured and spitting blood repeatedly.

“Big Brother, take this kid and go first.”

“We’ll hold off those old ghosts!”

“Alright!”

A response came from beside you.

The next moment, you were pulled by the leading burly man from the Taiyin Realm, and he shot straight into the sky.

“Quick, don’t let him escape!”

“Feng Yangzi, stop him for me!”

“…”

Countless attacks came at you.

But just as they reached your side, the burly man’s body suddenly expanded, blocking all attacks!

He let out a muffled grunt.

But even though he coughed up fragments of his internal organs, the burly man still didn’t stop for a second.

Finally, he traveled with Swift Steps, successfully shaking off all the Cultivators who were chasing him, and arrived outside an altar covered in runes.

“Finally…”

“Finally back, thankfully!”

The burly man let out a long sigh of relief.

But before he could do anything, he felt death approaching!

His eyes widened, and he looked at you in disbelief.

And there, a large seal was slowly condensing.

Terrifying power devoured all the surrounding Spiritual Qi and Dao Yuan.

It instantly brought immense pressure upon the burly man.

“You?!”

“What is this thing?!”

The burly man cried out in alarm.

However, what responded to him was only the crushing force of the great seal.

The burly man repeatedly used various techniques, wanting to break the great seal.

But it had no effect whatsoever.

His terrifying techniques, when striking the great seal, caused no damage at all, only creating tiny ripples, like scratching an itch through a boot.

The great seal pressed down, constantly enlarging in the burly man’s pupils, and quickly reached him.

“Impossible?! This is impossible?!”

The burly man roared repeatedly, veins bulging.

His body became upright, and his Qi and blood power flowed endlessly like a rushing river!

However, when he punched the great seal, he found his arm was stuck as if in a quagmire, unable to move even an inch!

Finally--

“Bang!”

With the sound of a body exploding, the burly man instantly turned into a pile of dust, completely dissipating between heaven and earth.

“Hmm?! Even such a strong individual would instantly turn to dust under a Fatal Strike?!”

“It seems the previous situation was indeed due to that jade seal.”

You were first delighted, then began to survey your surroundings.

You saw that the area outside this altar was covered in blood, with quite a few fresh stains among them.

They gurgled and flowed, converging towards the center of the altar.

But just as you were about to step in to investigate carefully, your Crisis Awareness sent you a warning.

This warning didn't reach its extreme, but it was still not to be underestimated.

With a thought, you continuously flashed, hiding in the shadows.

You saw several Cultivators quickly arrive outside the altar.

“Hmm? Strange, there was a huge Spiritual Qi fluctuation here just now.”

“A Kun, go up to the altar and check the situation.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Cultivator named A Kun leaped out from the crowd and stepped directly onto the altar.

He fumbled around and quickly inspected the entire altar.

“Elder Feng, the altar is intact.”

“As for that Spiritual Qi fluctuation just now… it shouldn’t have been aimed at this place.”

Hearing this, Elder Feng nodded slightly.

Then, after instructing A Kun and another Cultivator to guard the altar, he led his people away from here.

You observed all of this.

And you silently assessed the strength of these two individuals in your mind.

Although their auras were impressive, they were still some distance from being Dao Palace Cultivators, at most equivalent to a Peak Dao Lotus.

With the boost of Overcoming to Subdue, these two were certainly no match for you.

You planned to find a suitable moment to kill them both.

But at this moment, they started to have an internal conflict.

The Cultivator who was on duty with A Kun suddenly spoke: “Brother Kun, no one knows what’s in this altar better than us.”

“Now that only the two of us are left to guard it, I think it’s better if…”

“Hiss! A Liang, watch your words!”

“This belongs to the Lords.”

“It’s only because I’m here today; if it were someone else, you definitely wouldn’t have a good outcome.”

A Kun repeatedly waved his hand and put some distance between himself and A Liang.

However…

A Kun’s words did not make the greed in A Liang’s eyes disappear; instead, it made him reveal a fierce expression.

The moment A Kun turned around, A Liang attacked!

A blade of light flickered in his hand, instantly piercing through A Kun’s chest!

“You?!”

“How dare you?!”

A Kun still wanted to contend with A Liang, but his original strength was already much weaker than A Liang’s, and now that he had been ambushed, he was even less of a match for A Liang.

The two fought for several moves.

Under A Liang’s full assault, A Kun quickly suffered a complete defeat.

“You beast… even if you enter the altar, you won’t live to enjoy it. The Lords will surely avenge me!”

“Opportunity is for everyone to seize, and as for how my future path unfolds, it has nothing to do with you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, A Liang slowly stepped forward and completely ended A Kun’s life.
