Chapter 1901: The Glaze Devil Stele Was Robbed! (2/2)
“It’s you guys!” When Tan Zhihui saw the three people, he screeched, “The Three Skull Ancestors!”
The Demonic Skull Cult was the Devil World’s sixth-ranked super force, and the Three Skull Ancestors were the three founders of the Demonic Skull Cult. They were also the strongest combat force of the Demonic Skull Cult.
Seeing who his opponents were this time, Tan Zhihui lost the will to fight and decisively chose to flee instead. However, he barely turned around when a figure appeared right in front of him, greeting him with a powerful palm strike.
The giant palm emitted horrifying toxic fumes that could corrode everything that came in contact with it. The toxic fumes carried a rotten stench like the smell of something that had been dead for several millions of years. It was an indescribably nauseating foul stench.
But just as the thought of retreating appeared in his mind, a gust of violent tempest rose behind him. It was too late for Tan Zhihui to back away this time, and his body tumbled powerlessly in the air, leaving a streak of blurry shadows.
The giant palm barely brushed past him, striking on the distant ground. The land cracked, and the entire mountain shook violently. All the plants around the palm imprint withered away, losing their vitality.
The power of the Three Skull Ancestors’ strengths heavily hammered Tan Zhihui’s heart.
While the Three Skull Ancestors besieged Tan Zhihui, Huang Xiaolong was urging the four odd beasts to increase the Tushita Flying Ship’s speed as fast as they could, speeding in the direction of the mountain peak where Tan Zhihui was.
As the Tushita Flying Ship narrowed the distance, Huang Xiaolong’s head jerked up as he sensed powerful energy fluctuations coming from Tan Zhihui’s location, as if more than a dozen experts were battling intensely.
Did someone find Tan Zhihui ahead of them?
Huang Xiaolong once again urged the four odd beasts and Radiance Angels to accelerate the Tushita Flying Ship’s speed.
Huang Xiaolong arrived roughly fifteen minutes later at the mountain peak where Tan Zhihui was located. The first thing that caught his attention was the terrifying big palm imprint on the ground. That piece of land had turned into dead land.
Huang Xiaolong quickly searched the surroundings. He suddenly moved, disappearing in a flicker, and reappeared above a massive pit. Inside the pit was an unrecognizable corpse that was still being corroded by toxic qi.
Huang Xiaolong’s heart sank.
Although he had never seen Tan Zhihui, he was certain that this was Tan Zhihui’s corpse!
He was still a step late! The Glaze Devil Stele was robbed away by others! Moreover, Tan Zhihui was a late-Tenth Order Emperor, yet his opponents were able to kill him and take away the Glaze Devil Stele in such a short time. This proved they were formidable foes.
Huang Xiaolong’s eyebrows were scrunched together. He then urged both the Blood Eye Devil Stele and Myriad Curses Devil Stele’s power, trying to sense the Glaze Devil Stele’s location. At this time, the Glaze Devil Stele was moving rapidly from the Thousand Constellation Country towards the neighboring Red Lotus Country.
Huang Xiaolong suddenly became agitated as his induction of the Glaze Devil Stele’s location was growing weaker. He needed to hurry and catch up as soon as possible.
If he let them escape at this point, it would be harder to locate the Glaze Devil Stele the next time.
Before Huang Xiaolong could leave the place, several sounds of winds whistled in the air as a group of people appeared above the mountain peak. These people consisted of Seventh Order and Eighth Order Emperor Realm experts.
“It’s Tan Zhihui!” One of them exclaimed upon recognizing Tan Zhihui’s corpse.
That seemed like a signal. The rest of the group immediately encircled Huang Xiaolong and Lu Xiaoqing.
“Brat, who killed Tan Zhihui? Speak, what did you see?” One of them barked at Huang Xiaolong.
Tan Zhihui was a late-Tenth Order Emperor, whereas the brat in front of them was merely a peak early Tenth Order Heavenly Monarch, and the girl was a peak late-Tenth Order Heavenly Monarch. Obviously, these two could not be the ones who had killed Tan Zhihui.
“Why bother wasting time with them? Just search their souls, and kill them off afterward.” Another person grumbled impatiently.
Just as he finished, a giant claw descended from the sky, burying the opposing group deep into the earth.
In the next second, the four odd beasts appeared by Huang Xiaolong’s side.
With a snap of Huang Xiaolong’s fingers, a wisp of divine fire landed on Tan Zhihui’s corpse, incinerating the corpse completely. Huang Xiaolong returned to the Tushita Flying Ship with the others and sped away from the scene.
