Chapter 1416 - 729: The Fourth Key
...
At that very moment, the fourth key suddenly sprang forth and immediately began moving towards Yan Xiaobao. It was almost as if it was attracted to him, no matter what he desired, the key would fly in his direction, transforming into Blood Qi, and stirring his Immortal Heavenly King.
"Nightcrypt, are you... are you trying to die?!?!?" Song Que shouted angrily, and the other Dharma Protectors felt like they were going crazy. Once they saw Yan Xiaobao starting to absorb the fourth key, they could no longer tolerate it.
After all... they weren’t sure if Bai Xiaochun absorbed their keys, their team would still win. If they did, then all was well. But if they didn’t, then when the extinction wind swept over the desolate land... well, neither Song Qu nor the others dared to gamble on the outcome.
"I don’t want this either..." Yan Xiaobao cried. His original plan was to hide somewhere in the Blood Desolate Land, let everyone else fight over it, then snatch one of the last keys. But now, all his plans were ruined. Thanks to Yan Xiaobao, the trial by fire for the Bloodline Masters plunged into chaos.
In the "Endless Bloody World," only the unlucky Jia Lie had been affected... but now, even Song Junwan and Xue Mei were shocked in the Blood Wasteland.
Everyone was going crazy, all because of Yan Xiaobao.
It’s not that Yan Xiaobao wanted this. He was as anxious as anyone else. But his "Eternal Immortal Technique" was in full effect, and with his physical strength growing rapidly, Yan Xiaobao’s mad ghost... was increasing again!
The power of eight mad ghosts elicited hoarse cries from within him. Just as his energy surged, Song and the others gritted their teeth and joined in the pursuit team against Yan Xiaobao!
Yan Xiaobao was tenser than ever, and as he tried to decide what to do, his mind raced. Finally, he shouted: "Song Qu, attack the one who got the first key! If you get that one, and I consume the rest, then Xue Mei will never reach the Ancient Blood Path!
"This is divide and conquer! If you focus on attacking them, then they must focus on defense, and I can devour the keys. If you get your hands on the first key, I’ll consume all the other keys. If you don’t understand, then I’ll ensure to keep the last two. That way, we’re sure to come out on top, and they will be eliminated!"
"That’s my plan! Hahaha! We’ll surely win like that!" The more Yan Xiaobao spoke, the more he meant it.
Song Qu and the others were stunned. They weren’t fools, and as soon as they heard Yan Xiaobao’s plan, their eyes began twinkling.
As for the Dharma Protectors of Xue Mei, their faces fell, especially those who had obtained the first key, a middle-aged man whose complexion now turned pale as death.
Xue Mei, tangled completely in the battle with Song Junwan, was now even more nervous.
"Nightcrypt, do you want to die?!?!?" she shouted. As for Song Junwan, she charmingly smiled.
She declared, "We’ll do things Nightcrypt’s way!" Despite her adorable smile, her attack was sharp, and she immediately began pushing Xue Mei back onto the battlefield, leaving Xue Mei helpless. In fact, she couldn’t even come up with a plan to deal with Yan Xiaobao.
It was a moment of anxiety. Song Qu and the others grit their teeth, halted their chase against Yan Xiaobao, and shot towards the Dharma Protectors with the first key. Xue Mei’s other Dharma Protectors were forced to stop chasing Yan Xiaobao and offer defense. Instantly, a chaotic battle erupted.
A rumbling echoed, brilliant lights of divine abilities and magic skills rose.
Finally, Yan Xiaobao sighed in relief.
"Reacting quickly was a good thing, or I’d face too much danger... Some people have higher cultivation bases and powerful magic treasures, and some are secret experts. If they kidnapped me, how could I fight them?" Yan Xiaobao immediately began to flee, but at that moment, his students were at a loss. Despite not seeing anyone in the area, he didn’t hesitate to unleash the Mountain Shaking Bash, gathering immense strength and bursting forward with explosive force to move at the fastest speed.
Just as he shot forward, a bloody hand suddenly emerged from thin air, releasing a 30-meter-long Sword Qi.
"Eee?" someone said. An old man, empty and clad in a violet robe, with age spots on his face.
Sweat poured down Yan Xiaobao’s face. The feeling of imminent danger he had just experienced was one of the strongest sensations he had ever felt. If he hadn’t dodged in time, that attack would have pierced his forehead.
"Xiao Qing!" he glared warily. This old man was one of the three people Song Junwan mentioned, said to be on the verge of breaking through to Foundation establishment!
Xiao Qing chuckled, "I’ve pondered for many years before coming out. Even so, I’ve heard many stories about you."
