510 Dies Like This! (1/2)
This was the place he had just fought in. This was the place where he had fought the Solitary Eagle. This was the place he had bravely forced the Snake King to retreat! But, it was also the place where he had faced his greatest humiliation…
However, the most interesting part was that the Huang Ancestor hadn't realized this point at this time. And, that's because he hadn't had enough time! He knew that he had evaded the sword. But, his keen perception had made him realize that the sword was still chasing in order to kill him.
The sword's cold and piercing aura had tailed him closely. It was circling his eyes, throat, and other places. And, it would pierce his body the moment the opportunity would arise.
Huang Tai Yang's escape had come unexpected to his enemy when he had retreated in an attempt to fight for his life. Consequently, he had escaped with his life for the time being. But, his enemy hadn't given up on chasing him down.
Huang Tai Yang's sudden return to the courtyard had surprised the Solitary Eagle and the others. [This old man was cursing us so jubilantly a moment ago. So, how come he's come crashing back through the boundary wall like this?]
[Is here to kill us while we're off-guard? Aren't his guts too damn big?]
Solitary Eagle and Snake King had defended against Huang Tai Yang's attacks with everything they had. But, they had still fallen somewhat short. Moreover, the energy they had consumed in this fight wasn't low. The fight had certainly lasted for a short period of time. But, those two knew that they had revolved around life and death for each moment of that fight. In fact, this fight had been far more dangerous than the one they had fought outside the Tian Fa Forest.
After all, an expert stronger than the Great Master Level wasn't an easy opponent!
Therefore, the two of them had snatched this time to circulate their aura instead of rising into the air and looking-on with hope. Consequently, they had missed that marvelous scene from a moment ago. Moreover, they could've never thought that Huang Tai Yang would run into an assassin as tyrannical that the Supreme Assassin Chu Qi Hun by some curious coincidence.
Huang Tai Yang had been forced to retreat while cutting a sorry figure since he hadn't chosen a proper escape-route in his panicked state. Consequently, had knocked through the wall, and had returned to where he was before.
However, everyone's doubts were cleared the next moment as a white-clothed figure followed after Huang Tai Yang's retreating body. This figure didn't even stop for a moment, and rushed in-through that big hole the Huang Ancestor's retreating body had created in the wall. In fact, this figure had flown through the chaotic dust and smoke in a graceful manner at lightning-fast speed. Moreover, the sword in his hand was shooting out dazzling sword-lights.
It was approaching while piercing through the air.
The man holding the sword was handsome and tall. His entire body was emitting a cold aura, and his face had a dark and icy expression.
It was Jun Mo Xie!
Huang Tai Yang gave a loud roar. Then, his body seemingly revolved in the midst of retreating. After that, he changed his direction and continued to retreat with urgency. His body was still rubbing against the floor. But, his body had started to leave a trail of the mangled bits of his flesh after he had made this turn.
His sleeveless armor had protected certain areas of his body. However, the rest of his body was exposed — such as his shoulders, thighs, hips. And, that frantic whirl he had made a moment ago had left the flesh on these areas to get grinded. Consequently, it seemed as if the ground had been stained with the mangled flesh of a pig that was being slaughtered by a butcher.
Jun Mo Xie's sword hadn't stopped. His facial expressions seemed calm and collected. The murderous intent in his eyes was still as vigorous as before. He was a man who could subject himself to cruelties in order to achieve something. So, one could well-image the level of fierceness he was capable of showing his enemies. He would never allow this person to live-on! In fact, his sword's tip had remained less-than-a foot away from Huang Tai Yang's throat even though the latter had changed directions.
Huang Tai Yang wanted issue a loud scream, but he couldn't find his voice. His eyes opened wide, and it seemed his pupils would explode. The corners of his mouth were already dripping with saliva. His feet were constantly brushing against the ground as a rapid pace since he wanted to get away. In fact, he was striving so hard that the hardened ground had been etched with trails of his footprints; this had also kicked-up much dust in the air…
He was trying to use the reactive-force from the ground in his futile attempts to escape. But, an increasing amount of the flesh on his shoulders, thighs, and posterior had started to become like minced meat he attempted to pick-up pace while retreating. In fact, these dregs of meat had seemingly started to melt on the ground…
This powerful expert from the Illusory Ocean of Blood was even stronger than the Great Master Level. However, an on-looker would find no flesh on his thigs and shoulders if they were to look at his body. Instead, they would only see his bared dense bones. In fact, even a thick layer of those bones had worn out by now.
However, the Huang Ancestor wasn't feeling any pain. And, that was because his mind had been enshrouded in the possibility of his death. In fact, he would get about to chopping-off his head without any hesitation if he were told that he could escape by doing so.
And, that's because he had already fallen apart — he had thoroughly fallen apart!
That sword was like a bone-eating maggot that was chiseling-away at his body even though it was persistently aiming at his throat. That expert was even stronger than the Great Master Level. However, he hadn't even had time to get up. Instead, he had been forced into such a horrible situation!
He could've decided to resist that sword's attack if he had been in his peak condition. Perhaps, he could've clamped that sword between his chin and collarbone, and could've struck back at the attacker. He could've done that with his strength! But, his body had lost the stamina required for something like that since he had suffered from two-hundred continuous attacks.
He knew that he would die if his throat was pierced by that sword. Therefore, Huang Tai Yang was struggling to look for any opportunity to stand up, or fight, or even escape… Even the slightest opportunity!
