Chapter 1012: Confrontation
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After saying that, Mo Ning took out a blood-red sword and swung it in a horizontal arc.
In an instant, all of the trees in one direction turned into dust, revealing the figure of an old man.
The old man was leaning on a walking stick. His body was hunched and he was dressed in a black robe. It was almost impossible to see the old man’s eyes.
The only thing that could be seen was the faint bloody glow his eyes exuded.
“I’ve actually been discovered. Interesting. Lady in red, I’m very curious as to how you were able to discover my existence. I sense a very familiar feeling from you, as if your power doesn’t belong to this era.”
“Also, I want to know if you were the one who killed my companion.”
The old man’s voice was cold and furious.
He was in charge of the west side, and had sensed a few auras as soon as he arrived at his post. He knew very well that these people were outsiders and were likely the targets they were looking for.
He wanted to communicate with the others once he verified this, but did not expect to be discovered once he approached.
Damn it!
However, he was not like Sixth Brother, who was killed so easily, as his strength far surpassed Sixth Brother’s!
There were only six of them in the Blood Spirit Secret Realm, so as time passed they began to call each other brothers, ordered by their levels of strength.
This old man was ranked fifth among the six, so the others called him Fifth Brother.
The walking stick in his hand suddenly exploded, and wood splinters flew everywhere, revealing a silver spiritual staff.
Violent blood essence flowed through the spiritual staff like lava veins on a volcano.
He took off his black robe, revealing his somewhat ferocious face.
“I asked you a question. Didn’t you hear me?”
His roar resounded, and the sound waves turned into waves of energy that blasted toward the group of five.
“Hmph!” Mo Ning snorted. “So what if I killed him? I’m not just going to kill him! I’m going to kill all of you! And the rest of your clan too!”
The old man was completely enraged when he heard that.
“Humph! You’re only 20 years old, yet you’ve reached the Supreme Emperor realm… Is that why you’re so confident? I hope you still can say that once I’m done with you!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man’s figure flashed.
The sky dimmed, and a violent energy swept over the surroundings.
Suddenly, the old man appeared behind Mo Ning, and he swung the staff viciously at her!
The atmosphere seemed to freeze, and the sky was filled with blood energy. Even time seemed to slow down.
The staff was about to hit Mo Ning’s head, but she suddenly extended her hand and grabbed the staff…
Bang!
The ground beneath Mo Ning’s feet cracked, and a large pit was formed. However, Mo Ning was completely unscathed!
“If this is the extent of your power, it’s nothing special!”
Mo Ning sneered. She then clenched her other fist and punched the old man’s chest!
The old man had not expected the girl to be as strong as him. His expression changed slightly as he took a step back and swung his own fist to meet the punch.
When the two punches collided, both combatants were pushed backward.
Mo Ning took three steps back, while the old man took five steps back.
The latter’s expression changed drastically!
“Who are you? Why do you know an ancient cultivation technique? Also, the power in your body doesn’t belong to someone your age! You… You’re an expert possessing someone’s body! Despicable!”
The old man said this with a tone that was full of contempt.
“Possession?” Mo Ning laughed. “What a joke! This is my body!”
“Back then, you bunch of beasts trapped my main body in the ancient formation. Today, I’ll erase you from this world!”
When the Blood Spirit Clan member heard this, he suddenly thought of something.
The girl in red was actually an avatar!
An avatar of one of the ancient mighty experts trapped by the Blood Spirit Clan!
“Damn it!”
He no longer hesitated, and the aura on his body changed completely as he even took out a blood-colored jade pendant and shattered it.
Light surrounded his entire body as his aura soared even more.
This was his unique technique!
The surrounding spiritual energy also changed and surged frantically toward the old man, and condensed into a suit of armor that covered his body.
“You’re qualified to have me use this technique.”
“I might not be able to do anything to you in the outside world, but in this secret realm, the Blood Spirit Clan controls everything! Killing you is as easy as flipping my hand!”
“Die!”
At the same time, he swung the spiritual staff, and a blinding light dazzled everyone. The cold killing intent made Ye Lingtian and the others hold their breaths.
Mo Ning sensed danger as well. She had been injured the last time she faced a Blood Spirit Clan member, so she would not underestimate this old man.
Her fingers quickly formed a seal, and the sword that was circling her flew out. At the same time, she forced out a drop of blood essence and injected all of her power into it.
As the sword and the staff were about to collide, time and space and freeze.
After an unknown period of time, the two finally collided fiercely.
It was as if two brightly burning stars had collided!
The silence was completely broken, and shockwaves swept out.
The ground beneath the two combatants cracked!
‘Such a strong impact! This power far exceeds what early-stage Supreme Emperor realm experts are capable of. Is this Mo Ning’s current strength?’
Ye Chen thought to himself. His blood was boiling as he observed the battle.
Ji Siqing also clenched her fists. This was the power she desired. She had to break through as soon as possible so that she could protect those she cared about!
