Chapter 250: Why?
"I need to get out of here, otherwise, I will die."
A Ma clan elder was running away with all his might.
Almost everyone present here wasn't using any kind of detection method. Today was particularly dark. As everyone's rank had dropped to rank 3 and were running low on void power, they avoided using these methods. This was the reason that these cultivators didn't chase after Yang Zhai after A Dark Day was activated
"Agh…" The man spat out blood and collapsed
Bodies started to fall. Many cultivators were dying without any reason; some were dying after weapon marks appeared on their bodies, and some died from internal injuries.
"Eheheh good, good, hahahaha!!!"
Yang Zhai was laughing crazily. He was also laughing when he was killing these cultivators as if he was really enjoying it.
Everyone here died except for Yang Zhai. Everyone here was rank 3 except for Yang Zhai.
"What?" Wan Liu stared with wide eyes, shocked.
He arrived here with Tai Qi. After seeing the corpses of so many cultivators, both of them were shocked.
"What happened here?!" Tai Qi muttered.
They arrived here in just a few minutes and this was what they saw. Even if Yang Zhai was strong, he couldn't massacre everyone, and that too so quickly.
They looked at Yang Zhai cautiously. They didn't know that Cu Gil was the one who killed all of these cultivators. Yang Zhai was laughing, standing in the middle of these corpses.
"Yang Zhai, so you really want us to come at you with everything we got, huh?" Tai Qi looked at Yang Zhai with narrowed eyes.
They thought that Yang Zhai must have a method that could help him massacre low-rank cultivators.
Tai Qi sat down on his knees.
"So, you have finally decided to come at me with all you got. The real fun is about to begin, I see. Hey, Reen and Vara, get ready." Yang Zhai stopped laughing and looked at the Ring of Truth.
"You too, The Last One."
Tai Qi drew a small circle on the ground. After that, he stood up.
He looked at Wan Liu who was standing dozens of meters away from him.
"Go!"
Tai Qi shouted, and a one-meter-thick, twenty-three-meter-long snake appeared from the circle, shooting towards Yang Zhai at high speed. Yang Zhai side-flipped and barely avoided the snake. It only managed to scrape Yang Zhai's clothes.
Just as he dodged, a blade came flying at him. He could not dodge and was about to strike his heart. He managed to place his left hand in front of his heart just in time. With little time left and his right hand too far to reach his heart, he had no choice but to use his left hand.
The blade pierced his hand. He pulled out the blade with his right hand and threw it away. His palm began to wiggle from the middle. After that, the Bloody Storage Ka was detached from his hand and fell to the ground, dead. Everything in it came out of it, even the essence stones, the corpses, and every other material he had accumulated so far.
However, he didn't have the time to worry about anything and backflipped to dodge a fire blade. Yang Zhai's left hand was bleeding profusely. He hurriedly summoned a fire with his right hand and burned his left hand's palm.
Yang Zhai just dodged the blade when Wan Liu came from behind and attacked him with his fist covered in a small sharp blade.
However, a golden snake suddenly appeared in front of Wan Liu's eyes and distracted him. After that, it disappeared.
"What was that?!" Wan Liu mutters with confusion.
Wan Liu had just jumped back when suddenly a punch hit him from behind. He was sent flying. However, he was not injured as he was being protected by his ire.
He wasn't using detection methods right now. They had been fighting Yang Zhai for more than two hours and were running low on purified void power. The reason Yang Zhai was still holding on was that he was not using cultivation methods much and was fighting merely with his body strength. He was using yellow lines to enhance his eyesight unlike Tai Qi and Wan Liu.
Not just that, Yang Zhai was also using orange lines to increase his physical strength.
Thus, Wa Liu couldn't sense when The Last One sneak attacked him in this dark night.
Yang Zhai willed for The Last One to enter the ring. He then ordered the Last One to appear again. This time, even the Last One had the strength of 24 bulls and enhanced eyesight as his body was in this condition now.
The Last One entered the black fog again.
The battle continued, both Tai Qi and Wan Liu were working together to fight against Yang Zhai.
Even though we aren't able to capture Yang Zhai for some reason, we can definitely get him by constantly injuring him: thought Tai Qi.
Yang Zhai was getting injured, even though bit by bit, he was certainly getting injured.
After a few minutes, The Last One attacked Wa Liu again. Wan Liu and Tai Qi were also forced to endure its attacks as they were not using the detection methods and were trying to keep as many rays as possible.
However, The Last One was only attacking Wan Liu. Even though Wan Liu was protected by the ire, he was also getting hurt by the constant attacks of The Last One.
Whenever they managed to get close to Yang Zhai or were going to use powerful attacks, Vara and Reen would come out of the Ring of Truth and distract them. Even though the ring was rank 10, Vara and Reen couldn't do more than distract as they were not being summoned by Yang Zhai's power. For them to actually be able to interact with the physical world, the ring needed to be activated by Yang Zhai's void power instead of his voice.
Thus, he somehow managed to stay alive.
"Shit!!" Wan Liu was kicked by The Last One again and was sent flying. After that, The Last One entered the fog again.
Wan Liu was finally starting to bleed from his mouth and stomach because of constant hits from The Last One.
Wan Liu had just balanced himself when his eyes widened. A strong wind flew at him, engulfed him, and then passed by.
When this happened, he was left completely injured, heavily injured everywhere. His orifices bleed, his eyes bloodshot, his clothes torn, and he had blade marks all over his body. He fell on his knees and barely managed to stand up.
The fight came to a stop. Both Tai Qi and Yang Zhai looked at Wan Liu. Yang Zhai, too, was injured all over, but not as much as Wan Liu. Even though Yang Zhai's clothes had completely been covered in his blood, he was at least dodging them, but Wan Liu was barely standing straight.
"Wh…y…" he looked behind and barely spoke, stuttering.
The one who attacked him was Jun Nie.
"Why, you say? HAHAHAHAH!!!!! Seriously!!!! You ask me that!!!"
Jun Nie was holding a cloth in his hand, the Piercing Wind Blade. He used more than half of his rays to barely activate the ire and the Ka to buff it.
"Isn't that simple, you ungrateful? You killed my brother in front of my own eyes. Not just that, but you killed him in front of his own son. Who do you think you are? He always treated you with respect and you killed him!! Why wouldn't I betray you?!!" Jun Nie shouted with anger.
"Oh, you… fool. Do… you know… why did I kill him?"
"Why does that matter?!!"
"The reason I… killed him was that… he wanted to… kill you and your son to… start a war. He hated… Tai Qi wanted… to kill him and… destroy the Bai clan. He insisted and tried to convince me. But… b, bu… but… when I rejected him… he started planning to kill you to start a war. When I… dis…covered it, I killed him."
"What?! Why should I believe you? You are definitely lying," however, Jun Nie didn't believe him.
"You doubt me, huh? Ask… Tai Qi, he knows this as well." Wan Liu looked at Tai Qi.
"It's your personal matter, deal with it yourself." Tai Qi nodded and turned around. He jumped at Yang Zhai.
Yang Zhai was injured, and Tai Qi was sure that he could now capture Yang Zhai without Wan Liu's help.
Jun Nie was shaken when he saw that Tai Qi didn't reject anything and simply nodded.
"But, but still… you should… have told me about it!!" Jun Nie hesitated at first, but attacked Wan Liu from far away again.
Regret… was something that could eat a human being from inside. After knowing the truth, Jun Nie was shaken and knew that he made a terrible mistake. However, his inner self and regret were making him unable to believe it. Now to comfort himself and to prove that he didn't do anything wrong, he denied Wan Liu's kind act and blamed him instead. Thus, he ended up attacking Wan Liu again.
In an intense moment of emotions, a person wouldn't know what to do and would end up making wrong decisions. Now, even Jun Nie knew that if Wan Liu had not killed his brother, he would have died instead. Wan Liu had saved him, but he wasn't able to accept that now everything was ruined because of him. And to comfort oneself, a person would do anything.
Wan Liu was hit by a cloth and sent flying. He lay on the ground. He went closer to kill Wan Liu; however, he was attacked by a blade, and his right shoulder was pierced. Wan Liu lost strength in his body and closed his eyes.
Jun Nie had been waiting to strike at the right moment. When he saw that Wan Liu had been injured by The Last One and his ire was also weakened, he attacked with the Piercing Wind Blade and injured Wan Liu heavily.
Jun Nie pulled the blade out of his right shoulder and threw it away. He had just thrown the blade away when he looked down and saw a sword coming out of his abdomen. He spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling the metallic taste fill his mouth.
"Wh…o…da…..re" he looked behind and saw Jun Haru.
