In the blink of an eye, seven days had already passed since the destruction of the Bloodcloud clan in Hellfire City. During those seven days, the matter of Hellfire City had spread like wildfire across the entire Karl Empire. In particular, the descendant of the Bi family who had wiped out the Bloodcloud clan in less than ten minutes had become the focus of everyone's attention. With that, various rumors regarding the descendant of the Bi family and the destruction of the Bi family began to spread, filling the entire Karl Empire.
The imperial family of the Karl Empire did not make any response to the destruction of the Bloodcloud clan. Ever since Imperial Protector Mo Jian had visited a few days ago, there had been no activity at all. They clearly did not want to interfere with Bi Dao's matters. After all, Bi Dao was a member of the Karl Empire, and he was a supreme expert on par with the Holy Emperor. He was someone the imperial family wanted to rope in, so why would they offend over a dead Saint Ruler?
During those seven days, Bi Dao remained in the ruins of the Bloodcloud clan without moving at all. He did not take a single step away from the place. The Heaven-quaking Sword was stabbed into the ground beside him. Although its glow was concealed and it seemed extremely ordinary, the invisible pressure it gave off still existed. It slowly permeated the surroundings, causing the Heaven-quaking Sword to become anything but ordinary.
There were still a large number of people gathered around the ruins of the Bloodcloud clan, watching from afar. In the past few days, these people had come and gone. There were even a large number of people who had come from far away just to catch a glimpse of the Saint Emperor.
Very soon, darkness enveloped the land once more. The bustling city gradually quieted down, and the people gathered around the ruins of the Bloodcloud clan all dispersed. Only the black-robed Bi Dao remained standing there tirelessly.
At this moment, Bi Dao could not help but think of a few matters of the past. The faces of the descendants of the Bi family appeared in his head one by one, causing his cold gaze to soften slightly.
"So many years have passed. I wonder how Xiangtian is doing. He's the only descendant of my Bi family.
I hope he's still alive … "
"Little sister, after this big brother avenges the annihilation of his clan, I will search for the enemies who killed you. Even if I have to search to the ends of the earth, this big brother will definitely find them and use their blood to pay tribute to your heroic spirit. Little sister, rest in peace, this big brother will not let you die in vain." Bi Dao was filled with deep sorrow. When the Bi family was destroyed back then, only he and his sister, Bi Yuntian, had managed to escape. Now that Bi Yuntian was dead, he was the only direct descendant of the Bi family.
Suddenly, a feeling of loneliness appeared in Bi Dao's heart. At that moment, he felt extremely lonely, as if he was the only person of the glorious Bi family......
In the past few years, he had remained in the Soul-burying Mountain that was enveloped by poison all year round. He had only emerged a few days ago, so he had no idea what had happened on the Tian Yuan Continent. Even now, he still did not know that his sister, Bi Yuntian, had been revived by Jianchen and that his nephew was no longer the puny Saint Ruler of the past. Instead, he had become the renowned Holy Emperor.
Suddenly, an icy breeze blew past. In that instant, all the sounds in the surroundings seemed to vanish without a trace. Hellfire City, which was shrouded in darkness, seemed to have become a deathly silent ghost city.
Bi Dao's head immediately cleared up. He dismissed the stray thoughts in his head as well. He slowly raised his head and looked around emotionlessly. Ten figures had silently appeared in the surroundings at some point in time. Their bodies seemed to have fused with the darkness. Although they stood there openly, it was extremely easy for people to overlook them. It was very difficult to sense their existence.
The ten figures that seemed to have fused with the darkness stood there silently. None of them said anything, nor did they give off any presences at all. The atmosphere was rather strange.
Extremely heavy killing intent immediately appeared in Bi Dao's eyes when he saw the ten people surrounding him. He could still clearly remember that on the night of the Bi family's destruction several decades ago, it was done by a group of people dressed in the same way as them.
"You've finally come. I've been waiting for you for many days already," Bi Dao's voice was extremely cold. Bi Dao's voice was extremely frigid. A powerful killing intent radiated from his body without any attempt to hide it. He slowly pulled out the Heaven-quaking Sword from the ground as it radiated with a great pressure.
None of the ten men said anything, but their exposed eyes all landed on the Heaven-quaking Sword in Bi Dao's hand. Some greed appeared in their cold eyes.
"Speak. Who are you and what organisation do you belong to?" Bi Dao continued when he saw how the people remained silent.
The ten people stood there silently. Their bodies seemed to have fused with the darkness. None of them answered Bi Dao's question.
"No wonder we didn't find the beast fur after destroying the Bi family. So there were still survivors of the Bi family who managed to escape with it." At this moment, a hoarse voice rang out from nowhere. It was impossible to tell where the voice came from.
One of Bi Dao's eyes began to flicker violently as he stared straight ahead.
Right in front of him, in the originally empty night, a humanoid shadow slowly appeared, appearing in a very strange manner.
"Just who are you?" Bi Dao stared at the black figure. Through his instincts, he could tell that the person before him was the leader.
"Survivors of the Bi family. If you want to know who we are, hand over the beast fur first," the black figure sneered.
Killing intent surged in Bi Dao's eyes. He coldly said, "If you want the beast fur, then take it from me. However, you probably don't have the ability to do that with just you." With that, the Heaven-quaking Sword in Bi Dao's hand immediately erupted with a dazzling green light. Powerful poison and terrifying energy fused together perfectly, erupting from the sword.
Swish! Bi Dao stabbed out with lightning-like speed, directly targeting the person who seemed to be the leader.
"It really is the Holy Emperor," the black figure exclaimed. The black-clothed man let out a low cry of surprise, and his eyes instantly became serious. With a flip of his hand, a small black dagger appeared in his hand. The dagger was only the size of a palm, and it emitted a thick black light. Through the black light, one could vaguely see a cold light flashing.
"Kiss of the Venomous Scorpion!" The black figure called out and the dagger immediately shot out as a blur.
With a violent boom, the dagger collided with the Heaven-quaking Sword. The sound of the explosion shook up the entire city. Countless people who had fallen asleep were roused from their slumber. In just a few seconds, the dark city had been lit up by countless candles, illuminating it.
Bi Dao and the black figure were on par with each other in this clash.
"Bastard of the Bi family, you are indeed very powerful, but you can't keep the beast fur. If you know what's good for you, hand it over obediently and I'll spare your life. Otherwise, this day next year will be the anniversary of your death," the black figure sneered.
Bi Dao said nothing. He gripped the Heaven-quaking Sword tightly in his right hand as venerable Poisonsword's voice rang out in his head, "Brat, you won't be able to defeat him even if you exhaust all my energy.
Let me take care of him. "
The light in Bi Dao's eyes became strange once more. He relinquished control of his body, handing it over to venerable Poisonsword once more.
An indescribable presence immediately radiated from venerable Poisonsword as soon as he took control of Bi Dao's body. He seemed to have fused with the surroundings, becoming a part of the world.
"A mere Fourth Heavenly Layer Holy Emperor dares to act so arrogantly? You're looking to die!" Venerable Poisonsword sneered in disdain. He slowly raised the Heaven-quaking Sword and stabbed out.
Not only did this stab contain a powerful energy and poison, but it also contained the profound mysteries of the world. Not only did venerable Poisonsword use much less energy to stab out the same as Bi Dao's attack, but its power was several times greater.
"Illusory Waves!" The eyes of the black figure became even more stern. With a deep bellow, the dagger in his hand danced wildly, forming a string of blurs that filled the space before him. They shot out as strands of energy.
However, when these powerful Strength Qis came into contact with the Heaven-quaking Sword, they all dissipated into thin air with a series of explosions. The Heaven-quaking Sword was like an indestructible divine sword as it advanced forward like a hot knife through butter. In an instant, it arrived in front of the black-clothed man and pierced through his chest.
The black figure bellowed out and immediately retreated. He removed the Heaven-quaking Sword from his chest and yelled out, "Ten Kings Slash!"
The eyes of the ten black figures in the surroundings changed. Every single one of them radiated with a tremendous presence, which intertwined with each other.
Then, they intertwined in midair, forming an even more powerful aura. Then, the ten of them simultaneously took out their Saint Weapons and slashed out a powerful Sword Qi towards the sky.
The ten strands of darkness-attributed sword Qi fused together in the air and quickly turned into a demonic face. It charged toward Bi Dao with its claws and fangs.
The disdain on Bi Dao's face became even thicker. He mocked, "An attack from ten Ninth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers is only as powerful as the Second Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor. Is that all you've got?" With that, he casually stabbed out with the Heaven-quaking Sword. A powerful sword Qi shot into the sky and shattered the demonic face.
"Let's go!" The black figure with the dagger no longer remained. With a deep bellow, he immediately turned into a black blur and shot off into the distance. The ten Ninth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers did not hesitate either, silently fleeing into the distance.
