Chapter 552 - Falling into the Trap (2/2)

Everyone fell into silence. The unkempt man on the ground was so frightened that he could not help but tremble. He said in a trembling voice, “I… can I leave now?”

Xiao Chen waved him off. “Go…”

“T-thank you!” The unkempt man said in a trembling voice. Just as he was about to get up and leave, Xiao Chen suddenly sensed that something was amiss. He bellowed, “Watch out!” In the blink of an eye, he cast out a Barrier to protect the rest.

“Boom!” There was a loud noise, and the unkempt man exploded. The whole woods was blown up in an instant. Even if there was a barrier against it, everyone was blown out in an instant.

Yang Qing and the others were already injured. Now that they were hit by such a great force, they immediately coughed up blood. Chu Qi also spewed out a mouthful of blood. Xiao Chen was closest to the unkempt man. At this moment, he also felt as if his internal organs were going to be torn apart. He spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Bastard Black Horn, what the hell is wrong with you?!” Xiao Chen pressed a hand to his chest and looked at the others. If he had not detected it in time, Yang Qing, Chu Qi, and the rest would have died here tonight. This Black Horn weapon was indeed terrifying. Fortunately, this person’s body was not with poison.

“I’m fine. Brother Xiao, what about you…” Yang Qing coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood. It was a little difficult for him to speak. It was obvious that he was seriously injured.

Xiao Chen walked over and looked at Chu Qi. “Did you ask the Bloodmoon Hall members about anything?”

Chu Qi looked up at him and said, “They said they had their last wishes.”

“What?” Xiao Chen was stunned. It was only now that he remembered that when he had asked her to rescue Ren Yuntian earlier, he jokingly said something extra, but she had taken his words seriously.

Xiao Chen sighed and shook his head. He felt helpless, but he could not blame Chu Qi for this. If it were Qingluan, she would have made things clear from beginning to the end, and whatever happened just now would never occur. But for Chu Qi, probably only after he gave a clear order would she do as she was told.

After a while, Xiao Chen calmed down and said to her again, “It’s okay. I didn’t blame you. Don’t take it to heart.”

“Oh.” Chu Qi moved her lips and uttered only one word.

The few of them stayed on the same spot and adjusted their breathing. One of the men beside Yang Qing asked, “What should we do next?”

Xiao Chen took a deep breath. What should he do next? It would be even more difficult to save Ren Yuntian now. It was no wonder that the Cloud Mist Academy was unwilling to have conflicts with Black Horn. This Black Horn did not act like the well-known sects in the Violet Manor.

When he left, Shui Yue repeatedly reminded him not to go to Black-horn City. Presumably, if something happened to the disciples of the Cloud Mist Academy in Black-horn City, the Cloud Mist Academy would not show up. But they had already reached this point. Was he going to give up?

Yang Qing looked at Chu Qi and his voice was a little weak. He asked, “Miss Chu Qi, did you see the other three people?”

Chu Qi shook her head and said, “No.”

Yang Qing frowned and muttered to himself, “That’s weird. They didn’t respond when they sent the signal. Where did these three guys go?”

The person next to him said, “Could it be that he slipped somewhere else to drink?”

“That won’t happen. Tonight, there is a very important matter. I’m sure they all know that and won’t act recklessly.”

Just as the few of them were about to descend into silence, a man’s voice slowly sounded from the darkness, “Some people have died…”

“Who is it?!” Xiao Chen immediately became alert. With his Divine Sense, he did not detect anyone approaching. But now, he still could not judge the position of the person. It seemed that he could not detect the person’s aura at all. It was as if the person did not exist.

“But he is still alive…” The strange man’s voice slowly sounded again. And it got closer and closer, and it was a little creepy. At this moment, Yang Qing’s face changed, and his originally pale face suddenly became a little red.

“Some people are still alive, but he’s already dead…” The man’s voice in the darkness was getting closer and closer. Suddenly, a cold wind blew around them. It sounded like a ghost’s cry. A chill Negative Qi gradually came over them.

Yang Qing’s face had completely changed. He was still very weak, but at this moment, his face was flushed and blue veins popped on his forehead. His eyes suddenly became very scary and full of strong hatred.

“It’s him… it’s him!”
