Chapter 360: Betrayal! Controlling the Blood Venerate!
Sensing that the person below was at a critical moment in refining the Fallen Heart Flame, the Blood Venerate’s old face lit up with excitement.
The next moment, without hesitation, he unleashed his powerful aura as a six-star Dou Venerate. His hand clenched fiercely towards the white-robed man sitting at the bottom of the valley.
Instantly, a massive surge of spatial energy erupted in the valley. When this energy reached the area surrounding the white-robed man, there was a violent collision, and an invisible flame python shot out from the man’s body. However, it was quickly restrained by the man again.
“Friend, interrupting my refinement of the Fallen Heart Flame without reason—do you think I’m easy to bully?” The white-robed man showed no sign of fear upon sensing the overwhelming presence of the Blood Venerate above.
“A treasure like the Heavenly Flame isn’t something you deserve to possess!” The Blood Venerate’s face remained full of disdain as he pointed at the white-robed man. “If you obediently hand over the Fallen Heart Flame, I’ll let you leave. But if you resist, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
“If you want to seize the Heavenly Flame, let’s see if you have the ability!” Unfazed by the Blood Venerate’s threats, the white-robed man swiftly sealed the flame python into a specially crafted bottle. Instantly, a surge of thick Dou Qi energy emanated from his body.
“You’ve chosen death yourself, don’t blame me!”
With a cold shout, the Blood Venerate condensed the energy in his hand into a blood-red curved blade, half a meter long.
As soon as this blood-red blade appeared, the sky over the valley darkened slightly.
Then, with a swing of the blade, a massive five-meter-long blood arc shot out, slicing through the air and even seeming to tear the space it passed.
Upon witnessing the overwhelming power of the blood arc, the white-robed man, who had remained calm until now, showed a slight change in expression. In the next moment, his figure suddenly disappeared from the valley floor and reappeared in the sky, facing the Blood Venerate and Ye Ming.
The terrifying blood arc struck the valley floor with a tremendous explosion, creating a massive fissure nearly a hundred meters long. The violent tremors caused countless boulders to break loose and tumble down the valley.
“What an eerie movement technique!”
Seeing the white-robed man dodge his attack almost as if teleporting, the disdain on the Blood Venerate’s face began to fade.
“Lord Blood Venerate, although his movement technique is strange, it must consume a tremendous amount of energy. He won’t be able to maintain it for long!” Ye Ming respectfully suggested.
Hearing Ye Ming’s words, the Blood Venerate nodded slightly and then said, “Ye Ming, attack with me!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Blood Venerate’s body turned into a streak of blood light, rushing straight toward the white-robed man. Right behind him, Ye Ming followed closely.
“I refuse to believe you can keep teleporting forever!”
In the blink of an eye, the blood light had reached the white-robed man. The Blood Venerate, gripping his blade with both hands, swung it fiercely at him.
At that moment, a strange fluctuation suddenly emerged beside the white-robed man. In the next instant, a thick silver lightning bolt shot out of the space, transforming into the figure of a middle-aged man.
As soon as the middle-aged man appeared, a purple flame surged from his hand, and together with the white-robed man, they met the Blood Venerate’s blade head-on. Simultaneously, a massive surge of Dou Qi energy was gathering behind the Blood Venerate.
“There’s backup!”
Seeing the sudden appearance of the middle-aged man, the Blood Venerate’s expression grew serious, as the purple flame he wielded gave off a dangerous aura.
Immediately after, the blood-red blade clashed violently with the combined attacks of the white-robed man and the middle-aged man. An intense heat spread from the blade, continuously seeping towards the Blood Venerate’s body.
Taking advantage of the energy shockwave from the collision, the Blood Venerate quickly propelled himself backward. However, what he didn’t expect happened—Ye Ming, who had been gathering energy behind him, unleashed his attack on the Blood Venerate’s unguarded back.
“Ye Ming, what do you think you’re doing?” The Blood Venerate’s face filled with rage as he sensed the massive energy rushing toward his back.
"To kill you!" Ye Ming's tone was no longer respectful. With a swift push of his palm, the massive Dou Qi he had gathered surged forward, accelerating towards the Blood Venerate's back.
Even if the Blood Venerate were a seven-star Dou Venerate, being completely unguarded, he wouldn't dare allow an attack from a four-star Dou Venerate to strike him directly.
Under the fierce assault, the Blood Venerate's body froze in place, his back becoming a bloody mess. However, he didn't fall. As he turned to glance back, his eyes were filled with venomous hatred towards Ye Ming.
He had never imagined that this trip to the Black-Corner Region would result in his own subordinate conspiring with outsiders to take his life.
"Ye Ming, next time I come back, I'll tear you to pieces, rip out your soul, and whip it every day!"
The appearance of the middle-aged man had already made the Blood Venerate feel a hint of danger, and with Ye Ming's betrayal dealing him a heavy blow, he no longer had the will to continue fighting. After delivering this vicious threat, he attempted to flee by slipping into the void.
As space around the Blood Venerate began to distort, his figure swiftly vanished into the void.
"Trying to escape?"
Seeing the Blood Venerate's decisive retreat, Gu He, who had just appeared, turned into a flash of silver lightning, streaking toward the place where the Blood Venerate had disappeared.
Within less than a second after the silver lightning entered the void, a pitch-black crack suddenly appeared thousands of meters away in the sky.
The Blood Venerate, who had just tried to escape through space, abruptly burst out of the rift, his shoulder clearly caved in.
Moments later, Gu He's figure emerged slowly behind him.
"Who are you? How can you possess such powerful spatial traversal abilities!" The Blood Venerate, now seriously injured again in the void, stared at Gu He with deep fear in his eyes.
He knew that with the opponent's strength, escaping on his own today would be nearly impossible.
In response to the Blood Venerate's question, Gu He chuckled lightly and said, "You're asking too many questions!"
As Gu He finished speaking, his clone manipulated an invisible flame python to close in on the Blood Venerate. At the same time, Ye Ming also moved in for the attack.
"Haha, who would've thought that a small place like the Black-Corner Region could gather a five-star Dou Venerate and two four-star Dou Venerates in such a lineup."
