Chapter 1987: The Red-robed Old Man (1/2)

This was the second time Huai An had attacked Jian Chen and Kai Ya. The first time, he had just casually struck out. He did not aim to injure Jian Chen and Kai Ya. Rather, he wanted to draw out the divine king who was hiding in the shadows.

As a result, Jian Chen and Kai Ya were still able to fight back at that time. Even though they were as insignificant as ants to Primordial realm experts, they could still bite back during the prior encounter.

However, now that Jian Chen and Kai Ya were about to enter the spatial battleship, Huai An, who understood the vehicle’s power very well, directly struck out furiously in a panic.

The might of this strike was far greater than the one when he first attacked them. Just the tremendous pressure had frozen Kai Ya and Jian Chen.

Master Chanlong’s face changed all of a sudden. He wanted to hurry back to save Kai Ya, but there was nothing he could do against a strike from a Primordial realm expert.

“Huai An, aren’t you looking down on the Blood Sun Empire too much? It looks like it’s time to show that your Empyrean Demon Cult has become swollen with arrogance.” At this moment, an elderly voice rang out. A red-robed old man had silently appeared above the spatial battleship.

The old man kept his presence concealed, making it impossible to tell his cultivation level or detect his existence. He seemed to have fused with the entire sky when he appeared.

The old man looked at Huai An coldly and raised his right hand calmly. He gently extended a finger towards the hand that reached towards Jian Chen and Kai Ya.

The movement seemed simple. It did not give off any pulses of energy, nor did any particular pressure accompany it. However, the space before the old man suddenly contracted and produced a ripple in space, spreading out at an unbelievable speed.

When Huai An’s huge hand was only ten meters away from Jian Chen and Kai Ya, it suddenly came to a halt. The space around it seemed to have been frozen at that moment.

However, the effects of the gesture clearly did not just end there. In the next moment, the space in the area shattered loudly from the pulse, forming a huge crack. Countless spatial shards and spatial wind surged out, surrounding Huai An’s hand.

The spatial shards and wind were extremely terrifying. Huai An’s hand was reduced to a bloody mess in a single instance from the ravaging of the shards and wind.

Huai An’s gaze was cold. He looked at the old man emotionlessly. The old man had trapped his right hand there, so he had to endure the ravaging of the spatial shards and wind. No matter how hard he tried, his hand remained trapped there.

However, he completely ignored his right hand. He looked at Jian Chen, and his killing intent immediately erupted. With a thought, a sword appeared over his head. It was red as if it had been doused with blood. The moment it appeared, it gave off an extremely heavy smell of blood. The wails of countless ghosts seemed to emerge as countless souls struggled in there.

Clearly, the sword had been covered in blood for who knows how long. It had completely turned into a demonic artifact.

“Swish!”
