Just as everyone was closing in on Laden with malicious intent, a sinister smile suddenly appeared on Laden's face.
He bit down on the tip of his tongue before chanting in a strange language, upon which his aura erupted to the pinnacle of the Return to Void Intermediate Stage.
At the same time, an extremely sharp crimson light burst forth from his hands, which shattered the spatial barrier.
Whoosh! Laden fled into the distance at an extremely fast speed.
Cassidy, Xiao Ze, Merlin, and Tobias' expressions shifted drastically as they immediately gave chase.
"Tina! Take me with you! "An Lin yelled.
Tina immediately pulled An Lin along with her as they leaped through space in pursuit of Laden.
Laden fled extremely quickly, and everyone was struggling to catch up to him.
"Hmph! You caused my cultivation base to drop and my dao foundation to be damaged. Cassidy, Tobias, Merlin, Bryce … None of you will get away! I'll get Emperor Yi Deng to send all of you to hell for all eternity! "A cruel expression appeared on the little boy's face, and it was clear that he was filled with hatred toward all of his pursuers.
"This is the first time I've seen someone call their daddy so righteously." Xiao Ze chuckled coldly.
Laden faltered slightly at the sight of Xiao Ze before a thought suddenly occurred to him. "So it's you guys … Hehe, look at how badly you've been beaten up by me, you useless dragon! You still dare to talk back to me?"
"Do you want to fight again? You're just a stray dog! "Xiao Ze glowered at Laden with a mocking expression, and he didn't forget to give Laden the finger even as he flew through the air.
Laden couldn't be bothered with Xiao Ze, and he continued to flee. This was not the time to let his emotions get the better of him.
Right at this moment, a white light flashed, and a little fairy flew toward Xiao Ze with a man in tow.
Tina's features were deathly pale, and it was clear that she had expended a lot of energy.
"Master, what are you doing here? Watch out for Laden's retaliation." Xiao Ze immediately tried to dissuade him.
An Lin didn't say anything. Instead, he glowered at Laden in the distance.
Laden was still fleeing when he suddenly recalled his tragic past, and tears began to flow from his eyes.
"Waah …" Little Laden began to bawl as if he were a child whose toy had been snatched away.
Then, an indescribable abdominal pain accompanied by something exploded.
"Pfff …" Laden clutched his stomach as his body trembled violently.
This power was too familiar. It was the power that had brought him humiliation and trauma!
As he ran, he shouted in horror, "An Lin, it's you again! You and I are absolutely irreconcilable!! "
"You make it sound like we've been friends for a long time." An Lin stopped chasing after Tina after using two special spells, as Tina was also out of energy.
His two special spell techniques were able to slow down Laden to a certain extent.
This short delay was not to be underestimated. It was exactly because of this slight delay that Laden finally entered everyone's attack range.
Xiao Ze transformed into a black dragon over ten thousand feet in length before unleashing countless bolts of lightning toward Laden.
Laden hurriedly dodged, but his skin was still charred black by the bolts of lightning.
Just as Laden was dodging the bolts of lightning, a crimson sword glowing with white starlight pierced through the air before stabbing toward Laden's heart.
Laden had used a mystic technique to elevate his cultivation base to the pinnacle of the Return to Void Intermediate Stage, thereby allowing him to evade Cassidy's attack. The Cursed Star Blood Sword only managed to inflict a small wound on his waist.
"Hmph! You want to kill me? In your dreams! I'm no weaker than any of you now, so keep chasing me! When the emperors detect this, it'll be the time of your deaths! "A cold smile appeared on Laden's face, and there was no hint of panic or concern on his face.
He didn't know why the Holy Disciples had chosen to ally with An Lin and the others, but the fact that they had joined forces with a human to kill him was enough to strip them of their status as Holy Disciples and subject them to the eternal punishment of the Dao Integration Stage Emperors!
This was a great crime of betraying the clan!
However, to Laden's surprise, Cassidy and the others didn't seem to be nervous in the slightest. Instead, they were elated that the crimson sword hadn't struck his vital organs. What was going on?
"Laden, I think you'll be able to last for another three minutes." Cassidy chuckled.
"What do you mean?" Laden's brows furrowed.
"This is a punishment from the holy blood. You'll know how powerful it is very soon."
Tobias chuckled as if he had a card up his sleeve.
Laden was getting a little nervous. What holy blood? What punishment? He didn't understand a single thing!
However, Cassidy and the others didn't appear to be faking it.
Cassidy recalled her Cursed Star Blood Sword and licked her lips with a smile. "This is a sword that has been smeared with lethal poison …"
That's right, Cassidy had smeared An Lin's blood onto her sword!
This type of blood was extremely lethal to low-rank Blood Tribe cultivators. Laden's actual cultivation base had already fallen to the pinnacle of the Return to Void Initial Stage, so he definitely wouldn't be able to resist the purification of the holy blood.
Cyril, who was only at the pinnacle of the Return to Void Initial Stage, was a perfect example for Laden!
One minute later.
Thump, thump, thump …
Laden's heart rate accelerated for some reason, and a burst of destructive power swept through his entire body.
"Ah …!"
He roared with agony as his body plummeted from the sky with one hand clutched to his heart.
Boom!
His naked body smashed into the ground, creating a massive crater.
Cassidy, Xiao Ze, Tobias, and Merlin also caught up to Laden at this moment. However, they didn't rush to attack. Instead, they positioned themselves in four different directions to seal off Laden's path of retreat.
That's right, there was no need for them to attack.
Laden had been stained by the holy blood, so he was already dead.
"What … what did you do to me …"
Laden's body trembled as he spoke with great difficulty.
He couldn't even stand, let alone run away.
An Lin and Tina also rushed over, and they heaved a sigh of relief at the sight of the little boy lying in the crater.
"We didn't do anything. We just stained you with the blood of the Holy Leader. The blood of the Holy Leader isn't something that everyone can handle. Weaklings like you are going to die!" Cassidy spoke with a smug expression.
All they had to do now was watch the show from the sidelines and let Laden die knowing the truth.
Sure enough, Laden's condition began to worsen, and his body began to spasm.
"Ah …" An untimely moan of pleasure suddenly sounded.
Everyone faltered upon hearing this before turning to look at the little boy, only to discover that a peculiar flush had appeared on his face. It seemed like … he was enjoying it?
Rumble …
The sky suddenly darkened. Dark clouds gathered and lightning surged. The brilliant might of the heavens intimidated the world.
"This is …" An Lin stared at the scenes unfolding before him with incredulity in his eyes.
Laden didn't die, and his eyes were extremely bright. It was as if his body had been reborn, and his aura had also become more powerful.
"Hehe … This is the blood of the Holy Leader? How wonderful … It has cleansed all of the impurities in my body, and even my life force has been elevated to a higher level. I'm going to progress to the Return to Void Intermediate Stage again today! "
That's right, Laden had absorbed An Lin's blood, and he had broken through his bottleneck and was about to transcend his tribulation!
