Chapter 699 - The Shocking Change
Chapter 699: The Shocking Change
“Because all of you will die!”
That cold voice spread out in all directions and shocked everybody.
“Swoosh!”
Many experts immediately stood up with a light shining in their eyes.
“Blood Emperor, what do you mean?”
“Are you going to attack us?”
“How dare you say that? You are so short in numbers.”
They all shouted and glared at the Blood Emperor.
Everyone became vigilant because there had to be a reason for the Blood Emperor to say that. The Cold-blood Hall surely must have some moves.
However, they were not that concerned since they had dozens of Martial Royal Realm experts.
Even if the Cold-blood Hall used all of its strength, it would be impossible to take them down.
Jian Chen immediately returned to his seat while seeing the situation.
Huangfu Qing slowly stood up and said with a sneer, “Blood Emperor, are you crazy?”
“You’re not only bloodthirsty and ruthless, but also overestimating yourself!” The Star Sword Emperor also sneered.
Su Mo’s eyebrows slightly knitted. He was aware of the Cold-blood Hall’s ambitions and its moves during this Talents’ Grand Gathering.
Fortunately, he was confident in his master’s strength.
“Hahahaha!”
The Blood Emperor laughed. His eyes then suddenly turned cold, as a killing desire surged around him. “Not only will you die, but also the six superpowers will perish!”
As his voice fell, there came a sudden change.
Above the clouds, numerous figures descended quickly and stopped above the Blood-plate Manor.
There were more than 50 of them and they all were faceless and gaunt, with a strong Corpse Qi permeating from their bodies.
They instantly surrounded the Blood-plate Manor.
“What?”
“They… they’re from the Corpse Hall!”
“How can it be?”
Everyone went pale with fright, including many Martial Royal Realm experts.
Some young talents might not have known about the Corpse Hall, but those Martial Royal Realm experts knew that the Corpse Hall was formidable because they had been to the Central Continent.
Hundreds of years ago in the Central Continent, a demonic power arose called the Netherworld Devil Sect.
The Netherworld Devil Sect was as powerful as the nine superpowers.
It ran four halls—the Ghost Hall, the Shady Hall, the Yama Hall, and the Corpse Hall.
The Corpse Hall members practiced Zombie Skills, which turned their bodies into corpse-like figures. Besides that, they usually refined dead experts into powerful Corpse Puppets.
It was said that the hall master of the Corpse Hall was originally a corpse, which then absorbed the essences of heaven and earth and changed into a Corpse Puppet.
These corpse-like beings arriving unexpectedly had to be Corpse Hall members.
Many of the Martial Royal Realm experts present became scared.
The dense Corpse Qi that was emanating from them made it clear that they were Martial Royal Realm experts.
Moreover, three of them were at Lv 2 Martial Royal Realm.
“How can your Cold-blood Hall invite the Netherworld Devil Sect to attack us!” the Vice Palace Master, Tai Shen, thundered at the Blood Emperor.
The Blood Emperor snorted with disdain. “You must be joking! Our Cold-blood Hall belongs to the Netherworld Devil Sect!”
“What?”
The crowd was shocked again.
The Cold-blood Hall, the Corpse Hall, and the Shady Hall all shared similar names.
People had speculated before that the Cold-blood Hall was connected to the Netherworld Devil Sect, but nobody had been able to prove it.
It turned out that the Cold-blood Hall was the fifth hall of the Netherworld Devil Sect!
“All of you will die today!”
The Blood Emperor barked, “Do it!”
After his voice fell, he immediately rushed forth, while the young talents of the Cold-blood Hall withdrew out of the Blood-plate Manor.
Meanwhile, more than 50 Corpse Hall members individually charged at the crowd.
“Hahaha!”
“Die!”
“Haha! I will turn all of you into Corpse Puppets!”
More than 50 Martial Royal Realm Corpse Hall experts sent out sinister laughter as they launched attacks on the members of the six superpowers.
In a split second, the Corpse Qi had shrouded the whole manor. All sorts of fist radiance and claw radiance flashed and shattered the space and earth.
“Die!”
More than 40 Martial Royal Realm experts of the six superpowers started to fight back, dealing out numerous powerful attacks.
They were not totally at a disadvantage.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
A series of explosions arose one after another, from which the blast wave instantly ravaged the vast manor into ashes.
The entire city started to collapse, while countless people scattered in every direction, running for their lives.
Su Mo looked pale. In the first round of attacks, the disciples could have died without the protective Qi strength of the Celestialspirit Sect peak masters.
A tall, middle-aged man asked hurriedly, “Huangfu Qing, what should we do?”
The man was the peak master of the Great Heaven Peak. He had asked him because Huangfu Qing was the most powerful one among the nine peak masters.
Huangfu Qing immediately swept the crowd with his eyes, which then fell on Qian Xunyue. “Qian Xunyue, protect the disciples and withdraw. Everyone else, follow me to fight!”
He then took the lead and engaged a Corpse Hall expert.
The other peak masters also started to fight against the enemies.
“All disciples, evacuate with me!”
In a girlish voice, Qian Xunyue commanded them and waved her hand. A light-blue airwave then brought Su Mo and the other disciples over to her side.
However, the Corpse Hall experts had already laid siege to the manor, so it was extremely difficult for them to evacuate!
The place turned into sheer chaos.
Above the clouds, a massive blood sea stretched out hundreds of kilometers, while rows of extremely horrible Sword Qi flashed from inside it.
Violent explosions continually rose up in the blood sea.
Simultaneously, the Blood Emperor was engaging the Star Sword Emperor.
They were both Peak Lv 2 Martial Royal Realm experts, and each one of their strikes was earth-shattering.
Among the experts of the six superpowers, only Huangfu Qing, Tai Shen, and the Star Sword Emperor had reached Lv 2 Martial Royal Realm.
The Star Sword Emperor was definitely the strongest among them, and his swordplay was profound.
The Blood Emperor was aware of this, hence he attacked the Star Sword Emperor first. As long as he killed the Star Sword Emperor, the others would be a piece of cake.
“Rumble!”
Their fight looked like the end of the world, and they were well-matched in strength.
At this point, a tall, large figure suddenly rushed toward their fight.
It was Huangfu Qing!
He flew extremely fast and arrived next to the Star Sword Emperor.
He shouted loudly, “Star Sword Emperor, let’s kill the Blood Emperor together!”
“Right!”
The Star Sword Emperor did not think much about it as he struck again toward the Blood Emperor.
“Die, Blood Emperor!”
Huangfu Qing pointed a huge golden finger out that was 333 meters long and carried a massive aura.
The space turned into nothingness, just like a piece of paper.
“What?”
The Star Sword Emperor’s face suddenly turned pale.
And that was because the golden finger was not targeted at the Blood Emperor, but at him!
