Chapter 662 – Flee Or Fight? (1/2)

20 figures crashed down from the sky, and everyone here looked towards them. The expressions of the experts from the demon race and oceanic clans changed because it was the Monarch Realm experts of the Hallowed Grounds. At this moment, all of them seemed extremely old as if they’d experienced a few thousand years of time. Most importantly, they didn’t have any signs of vitality!

They were dead!

The experts of the devil race and oceanic clans gasped as they looked up into the sky.

At this moment, everyone was looking up into the sky.

Elder Mu was standing in midair with an extremely pale countenance. There were a few palm prints on his chest, and every single one of them was very deep to the point that they’d caused Elder Mu’s chest to completely sink down. It was an extremely horrifying sight. There was a pitch black walking stick floating in front of him, but it was covered in cracks and seemed like it might shatter at any moment.

Xuan Kong’s group was standing in front of Elder Mu, and their appearances had completely changed. At this moment, all of them had snow white hair and thick wrinkles all over their faces. They seemed extremely old. If it weren’t for the imposing aura they emanated and the fierce gazes they revealed, no one would think that they were Half-Saints and Monarch Realm experts. Everyone would think that they were old men who had a foot in their graves.

At this moment, all of their eyes carried unprecedented seriousness and fear as they gazed at Elder Mu, and even Xuan Kong was no exception!

“You’re actually able to rely on that tombstone to take away our vitality. The energy of time is something that Half-Saints can only pry into a little, and only true Saint Realm experts are capable of grasping such an inconceivable force. You aren’t a Half-Saint, but you’re capable of causing our lifespan to flow out of our bodies! Who exactly are you!?” Xuan Kong stared fixedly at Elder Mu while his heart was filled with shock and terror. Because he had less than 100 years of lifespan left now. However, he had over a thousand years before the battle!

Compared to Xuan Kong, the Devil Saint and the Oceanic Emperor were in a worse state because they only had a few years left to live….

There were others that were in a worse state, and it was those Monarch Realm experts of the Hallowed Grounds. Many of them merely had a few days left to live.

Those Monarch Realm experts who’d perished just now had died because they’d lost all their lifespan. On the other hand, the reason these Monarch Realm experts were still alive was because their strength was slightly superior to those who’d perished.

Feeling their vitality and lifespan leaking away was a feeling that was even more terrifying than death itself. So, the Devil Saint, Oceanic Emperor, and some of the experts of the Hallowed Grounds had decisively abandoned their a.s.sault on Elder Mu and started attacking the tombstones.

Elder Mu waved his right hand, and the black tombstone appeared before him again. The corners of Xuan Kong and the others’ eyes twitched when they saw the tombstone, and the fear in their eyes wasn’t concealed at all.

Elder Mu said, “You have 2 choices. The first is to leave and return to your Hallowed Grounds. After all, I can’t stop all of you. The second is to fight me right now. If all of you disregard death and fight with your lives on the line, then you’ll definitely be able to heavily injure me even if you can’t kill me. Of course, if I fight desperately, then all of you can dream of leaving!”

Xuan Kong and the others had heavy expressions on their faces. None of them felt that the Undertaker was exaggerating. After all, the Undertaker hadn’t lost even when fighting the joint forces of 12 Half-Saints and 30 Monarch Realm experts. Such strength was something that only the Supreme Exalts of the Hallowed Grounds could compare to.

“Brother Xuan Kong, he’s weak and exhausted. We’ll definitely be able to kill him if we join forces again!” The Devil Saint noticed Xuan Kong’s hesitance and spoke anxiously. Because while the Undertaker couldn’t stop the experts of the Hallowed Grounds from leaving, but what about him? Could he retreat to the Hallowed Grounds? Even if the Hallowed Grounds allowed him to do so, what would happen to the devil race?

“Brother Devil Saint is right!” The Oceanic Emperor knew how serious the situation was, and he immediately spoke, “Brother Xuan Kong, if we don’t kill him today, then the devil race and oceanic clans will definitely be annihilated by the human race. Brother Xuan Kong, please lend us a hand!”

Xuan Kong paid no attention to the Devil Saint and Oceanic Emperor. He took a deep and long glance at Elder Mu before he gazed at the Devil Saint and Oceanic Emperor, “Come with us to the Hallowed Grounds. Your lifespans have almost been completely exhausted. Perhaps you’ll still be able to live if you return to the Hallowed Grounds with us!”

The Devil Saint and Oceanic Emperor were first delighted when they heard Xuan Kong, but it wasn’t long before they realized that there was a problem. The Devil Saint said, “Brother Xuan Kong, but what about my devil race and the oceanic clans of Brother Oceanic Emperor?”

Xuan Kong glanced coldly at them and said, “I think both of you should think about yourselves.”

The Devil Saint’s expression changed a little, and he said, “Brother Xuan Kong, if we are to leave, then the devil race and oceanic clans won’t have a Half-Saint anymore. Wouldn’t that….”

Xuan Kong waved his hand and interrupted, “Could it be that you think just anyone can enter my Hallowed Grounds? That’s all I’m willing to say. Decide yourselves if you are going to leave!”

“Brother Xuan Kong, I’ll go with you!” Meanwhile, the Oceanic Emperor spoke abruptly. He only had a few more years of lifespan left. So, if he didn’t head to the Hallowed Grounds, then even if the Undertaker didn’t kill him, he would still die in a few years unless he could advance into the Saint Realm. So, he had to head to the Hallowed Grounds because only then could he live a little bit longer.

The longer one had lived, the more afraid one usually was of death!

Xuan Kong nodded, and then he gazed at the Devil Saint.

“HAHAHA!!” The Devil Saint suddenly roared with laughter and said, “This is how the so-called Hallowed Grounds acts? The Demon Emperor was right. Our Profounder Continent is actually just an ant in your eyes. All of you don’t care about our continent at all. All of you only care about yourselves! Even your fight against the defiant profounders is only being done for yourselves. HAHAHA! To think I was so blind!”

“Brother Devil Saint, we’ve cultivated for a few thousands of years to attain the Half-Saint Realm. Could it be that you intend to give up just like that?” The Oceanic Emperor persuaded, “You’ll naturally be able to avenge the devil race in the future if you’re still alive. But who will avenge them if you die?”
