Although the black-robed man was defeated by Shenlang in a single move, Taihuang and the others weren't careless. Instead, they carefully surrounded the black-robed man to prevent him from breaking out of their encirclement again.
The Sword Emperor held his sword in his hand. From beginning to end, he had only attacked once. After Shenlang defeated the black-robed man, the Sword Emperor didn't attack again. Instead, he sheathed his sword and stood there quietly. But just by standing there, the Sword Emperor gave off a heavy pressure. A sword domain formed around him. If the black-robed man had any strength left, he wouldn't have chosen to attack the Sword Emperor. This was because in his current state, if he encountered the Sword Emperor, he would only be torn to pieces by the sword domain.
Taihuang wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth and coldly looked at the black-robed man lying in the pit. When the black-robed man broke out of the encirclement, Taihuang had suffered some injuries. But when One Page Book intercepted the black-robed man, she wasn't any better and had also suffered some minor injuries.
The black-robed man wasn't weak. If it weren't for Shenlang and the Sword Emperor giving him a lot of pressure, Taihuang and One Page Book wouldn't have been able to keep him here.
"Cough cough!"
The black-robed man lying in the pit gently coughed and slowly stood up. His black robes instantly exploded, revealing a pale and bloodless face. The black-robed man was thin and weak, as if he couldn't withstand a gust of wind. If it weren't for Shenlang and the others fighting with him, they wouldn't have known that such a thin and weak body could erupt with such a formidable strength.
"Now, can you tell me who you are?"
Shenlang looked down at the black-robed man and indifferently asked.
The black-robed man fiercely smiled with blood at the corners of his mouth. "Just wait for your death. If you don't let me go today, then when Lord Soul Emperor recovers from his injuries, he will definitely make you fall into the cycle of samsara, never to be reincarnated."
"Haha …"
The black-robed man did not answer Shen Lang. Instead, he raised his head to the sky and laughed loudly. Black fog rose from his body and countless roaring and distorted faces could be faintly seen, giving off a sinister and terrifying feeling.
"Stubborn. Looks like you won't tell me unless I use other methods."
Shen Lang's voice was ice cold. Both of his eyes were deep and serene. Traces of evilness shot out from Shen Lang's eyes. In an instant, the black-robed man felt his surroundings change. He was now in the middle of a gigantic palace. A man with a terrifying aura sat on the seat of honor, looking at him indifferently. The entire palace was filled with a majestic aura, causing people to involuntarily tremble.
"Soul … Soul Emperor."
The black-robed man knelt on the ground with a thud. His forehead was covered in cold sweat and his body was trembling. He didn't dare to raise his head.
"What's going on? Why am I here? Isn't the Soul Emperor in seclusion? "
The black-robed man was a bit afraid of suddenly arriving here. The Soul Emperor was the highest executor of Soul Hall and had the authority to decide their life or death. No one in Soul Hall dared to disobey the Soul Emperor; they could only obey.
"How's the thing I asked you to do?"
The Soul Emperor's faint voice resounded through the entire grand hall, imperceptibly emitting a heavy pressure.
"Reporting to the Soul Emperor, the mission has failed."
The black-robed man's entire body was soaked in sweat. A trace of fear spread through his body. If possible, the black-robed man wanted to faint right now.
....
In the outside world, the black-robed man knelt in the pit, facing Shenlang and muttering to himself. As for Shenlang, he calmly stood there, as if he were receiving the black-robed man's worship.
Just as the black-robed man was about to continue speaking, the illusion created by Shenlang suddenly shattered. A terrifying might appeared in the air. Then, a finger tore through the void and pointed towards the black-robed man.
"You dare!"
Shenlang's eyebrows shot up. With a roar, he instantly moved to block that mysterious finger.
The finger didn't fall too fast. Instead, it was extremely slow. But, Shenlang felt that no matter how fast he moved, he couldn't stop the finger. This left him a bit surprised.
The Sword Emperor had a solemn expression on his face as well. He could sense a trace of the aura of the Laws within the finger. The reason why the finger gave him and Shen Lang such a feeling was because the finger had actually utilized the power of the Laws.
From the aura of Laws that emerged from the finger, the Sword Sovereign guessed that it was either the Speed Laws or the Time Laws. This was because only with these two Laws would the finger give them such a feeling.
Bang!
The ground instantly exploded. A massive crater was formed in the surrounding 10,000 miles. It was like an atomic bomb had struck this place. Not even a blade of grass grew. It was a complete mess.
The black-robed man's figure had already turned to ash. If it weren't for Shenlang and the Sword Sovereign quickly dodging, they would have been injured by the shockwaves.
Shenlang's eyes narrowed. The one who attacked should be the Soul Emperor that the black-robed man spoke of. But, with the might and power of the Soul Emperor's attack just now, it wasn't impossible for him to have saved the black-robed man. So, why kill him?
An Ancestor realm powerhouse wasn't weak. If they were placed on the Gods Continent, they would be a powerhouse. Who would have the heart to kill the subordinates of such a powerhouse? Unless it was absolutely necessary, no one would do such a thing.
But, the Soul Emperor had done so. Did the Soul Emperor really not care about the subordinates of an Ancestor realm powerhouse?
After the finger killed the black-robed man, it didn't continue to attack Shenlang and the others. As if it were afraid of something, it retreated and vanished into the horizon.
"Brother Chen, this person is strong, but he shouldn't have reached the Ruler realm. Although there was the aura of Laws when he attacked just now, I can feel that there is a great disparity between him and the Martial Boundary's Ruler of Good Fortune. The two simply can't be compared. According to my estimate, this person is just a bit stronger than me. He must have comprehended some Laws and taken half a step into the Ruler realm."
Although the Soul Emperor's attack just now had been terrifying, the Sword Sovereign was still a peak Ancestor realm powerhouse. He was only a step away from comprehending the Laws and stepping into the Ruler realm. Thus, he was able to sense the Soul Emperor's strength.
Shenlang nodded. The Sword Sovereign's guess was also possible. But, it was also possible that the Soul Emperor had been severely wounded and was unable to display the strength of a Ruler powerhouse. He could only use a portion of his strength. After all, the black-robed man had vaguely mentioned that the Soul Emperor had been severely wounded and was secretly recovering.
However, no matter which possibility it was, Lin Ming had to be vigilant. Whether it was a half-step Ruler or a true Ruler, neither was an existence he could contend with right now. He urgently needed to increase his strength so that he could protect himself before the Soul Emperor recovered from his injuries.
"Brother Sword Sovereign, it looks like we have a new powerful enemy. The crisis this time isn't small at all."
Shenlang turned to the Sword Sovereign and teased, not feeling the slightest bit of nervousness at all.
