Even though everything had happened extremely suddenly without any warning, the Situ old man was still a Sixth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler after all. He could not be described as slow in reacting. He immediately released his grip on Yu Fengyan's neck and retreated a hundred meters in a flash.
The red light moved extremely quickly as well, surpassing the speed of lightning. It actually chased after old man Situ, crossing a hundred meters in a single moment and stabbing toward his forehead.
A gleam of light flickered through old man Situ's eyes. He snorted coldly and the space before him immediately froze, attempting to keep the red light in place.
The red light appeared small, but it contained a powerful force. The space that had been frozen by Old Man Situ was unable to stop the red light at all. It was shattered by the powerful force that erupted from the red light and continued to shoot towards Old Man Situ's forehead.
At this moment, a pitch-black staff appeared in old man Situ's hand. He held it with both hands and bellowed out. The staff immediately began to glow with a pitch-black light, stabbing toward the red light with lightning-like speed.
"Ding!" With a crisp sound, the black staff and the red light collided, and the red light was immediately sent flying.
Old Man Situ's body trembled slightly. He could not help but take three steps back. His expression was solemn.
The transparent barrier around Changyang Prefecture suddenly shattered. Afterward, a middle-aged man in blood-red robes appeared a hundred meters away. He calmly extended his hands to catch the red light. At this moment, the red light that had attacked old man Situ could be seen clearly. It was actually a long, round spike that was only as thick as a finger and around a meter long.
The middle-aged man in a blood-red robe was like a demonic god as he floated in the air. His long red hair fluttered without any wind. He was expressionless as he coldly stared at the five people in front of him. A sharp light flashed in his eyes, and a strong killing intent was emitted without any concealment. The long thorn in his hand that seemed to be dyed in blood also emitted a demonic red light.
The five old men no longer paid any attention to the people from the Changyang clan. They all stared at the man with extremely sunken faces. Someone had actually come to ruin their plans at such a crucial moment, which infuriated the five of them.
"Sir, who are you? Why are you interfering in our affairs?" Ma Teng growled. His eyes flickered with intense killing intent. Although the man in blood-red clothes was at the same level as him, Ma Teng showed no fear at all. This was because the man in blood-red clothes was alone while they had five people. They had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers.
"The five of you colluded with the House of Jinlijian and betrayed the human race. We are here to hunt you down under the orders of the House Master. We will kill you all!" The man in the blood-red robe said expressionlessly. His tone was very cold, without a trace of emotion. The last three words were said one by one.
As the man in blood-red robes uttered the words, an extremely powerful killing intent suddenly erupted from his body. It swept towards the five of them like a surging wave. The surrounding space seemed to become sticky in the face of the killing intent.
The man's control over killing intent had clearly reached a level of mastery. Even though he radiated with killing intent, the killing intent only enveloped the five of them. It did not spread into the distance, so it did not affect the people of Changyang Prefecture at all.
The faces of Old Ghost Situ and the others all became solemn. The murderous aura emanating from the man in crimson clothes was so strong that it made them tremble with fear.
This was because this was the pure killing intent that could only be accumulated from killing countless lives. It was completely different from the killing intent in one's heart. At this moment, they had actually sensed such powerful killing intent from a Saint Ruler, which filled them with disbelief. This was because Saint Rulers feared massacres the most. Otherwise, once they committed heinous crimes and caused Celestial Decay to descend, it would be impossible for them to survive.
However, what shocked them even more was what the man had said. He actually knew about the five of them and the House of Jinlijian. This was no small matter. Once it made it out, the five of them would become the public enemy of the continent.
"Oh no, this person actually knows about us and the House of Jinlijian. This is extremely bad for us," a Fifth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler behind Ma Teng said with a deep voice.
"There's only one person. Let's go together. We have to kill him as quickly as possible.
We can't let him escape, "Ma Teng made up his mind. Old Man Situ quickly made up his mind. He immediately rushed toward the crimson-robed man with the long staff in his hand.
"Let's do it together!" Ma Teng called out. He also drew his Saint Weapon and charged toward the man.
The red-clothed man was expressionless. His body suddenly vanished without a trace. In the next moment, a strange red light appeared in front of old man Situ. It shot toward old man Situ's forehead with lightning-like speed. As the red light shot out, it continuously split into afterimages. It went from one to two, from two to four, and from four to eight. In the blink of an eye, it had actually formed a dense cluster of afterimages that enveloped old man Situ. Each afterimage possessed a powerful ripple of energy, as if they possessed great offensive strength. It was impossible to distinguish which was which.
Old Situ bellowed out as a tremendous amount of darkness-attributed Saint Force surged out of his body, protecting him. At the same time, the staff in his hand was imbued with invisible World Force. Old Situ waved the staff around in an airtight manner, blocking out all the red light.
Just as Old Man Situ was struggling to deal with these red lights, the space in front of him suddenly cracked open. Another red light drilled out of the spatial crack and pierced towards Old Man Situ's forehead at an incomparable speed.
This time, the old man was unable to react at all. The red light arrived before his forehead in the blink of an eye. In that critical moment, the old man tilted his head to the side as hard as he could, barely dodging the attack. However, a faint, bloody mark was left behind on his forehead.
Just a little more and his forehead would have been pierced and his soul would have been wiped out.
The old man's face became extremely sunken. His opponent was also a Sixth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler, but his method of killing had reached a level of perfection. It was extremely strange and impossible to guard against, almost causing the old man to die.
"Everyone, be careful. This person's attacks are very strange," the old man said with a heavy voice as he warned everyone.
The crimson-robed man appeared on the other side. The red light that had left a bloody mark on Old Man Situ's forehead returned to his hand and turned into a four-foot-long crimson-colored spike. However, the crimson-robed man moved again. His body moved and turned into a series of afterimages as he charged toward Old Man Situ and the other four. The crimson-colored spike in his hand pierced toward Old Man Situ.
The old man's vigilance had reached its peak. He and his four companions struck out at the same time, attacking the red-robed man from different directions. The terrifying ripples of energy from the Saint Weapon shook up the surrounding space, preventing the red-robed man from mysteriously disappearing again.
The crimson-robed man revealed a mocking smile. He ignored the attacks of the other four and locked onto Old Fogey Situ.
However, at this moment, something strange happened. Three streaks of red light strangely appeared behind the three old men, passing through their backs with lightning-like speed. The three streaks of red light then gathered together and shot toward Ma Teng.
The red streaks of light pierced through the chests of the three Fifth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers, causing them to vomit blood. Disbelief filled their faces. They had actually failed to sense anything strange behind them with their strength. The attacks of the red streaks of light seemed to have been completed completely silently. If they had not seen them with their eyes, it would have been very difficult to discover their existence.
When the red streaks of light passed through their bodies, a layer of Baleful Yin Force remained within them. It constantly destroyed their vitality, forcing the three of them to give up on attacking the red-robed man. They immediately controlled their Saint Force to purge the Baleful Yin Force.
On the other side, the old man clashed with the red-robed man while the three red streaks of light tangled with Ma Teng. The red streaks of light moved extremely quickly, leaving behind a few wounds on Ma Teng in just a few flashes. At the same time, a strand of Baleful Yin Force remained in Ma Teng's wounds, constantly corroding them.
"This is Baleful Yin Force!" Ma Teng's face changed. He immediately abandoned the three streaks of light and quickly retreated.
The three streaks of light did not chase after him. They hovered in the air and soon, three more people in blood-red robes appeared beside the red streaks of light. They calmly extended their hands and grabbed the red streaks of light. It was only at this moment that he could clearly see that the three red lights were all perfectly round and sharp spikes that were only as thick as a finger. They were exactly the same.
Old Man Situ's heart sank when he saw three more blood-robed men appear around him. He immediately sent out a powerful attack to knock the blood-robed man back. He then quickly retreated and gathered with Ma Teng and the other three companions.
The four middle-aged men in blood-red robes did not pursue. Instead, they stood side by side in a row in the air, holding identical blood-red thorns in their hands. They stared at the five old men in front of them with emotionless eyes.
The old man and the others stared at the four red-robed men with ugly expressions. When they saw the appearances of the four red-robed men, a sliver of surprise immediately appeared in their eyes. Not only were their clothes and weapons exactly the same, even their appearances were exactly the same. There was no difference at all.
"Who are you?" The old man asked again. He was extremely curious about the identities of the four people.
This time, the red-robed man no longer remained silent. He said emotionlessly, "The four protectors of the Bloodsword sect are here!"
