"All hail the ancestor!"
In a flash, everyone saw the terrifying murderous demon being injured by the Cang family's ancestor. Blood flowed from the wound on his arm as he retreated. He was already at a disadvantage. All of a sudden, their hearts were put at ease. It didn't matter whether the young man had saved them or not. It didn't matter how wronged the young man was. However, he was now a threat to them. As such, no matter how much benefit the young man had done to them, he had to die!
"How unexpected!"
Chu Rui touched the wound on his arm. The ruthlessness in his eyes rapidly increased. The Cang family's ancestor had some skill. A single attack actually contained three layers of killing intent. The first layer targeted the chest and heart. If an ordinary person saw this, they would've done their best to dodge and counterattack. However, an expert would've been able to sense the changes in the Cang family's ancestor's attack. The true killing move was in the second layer. The second layer targeted the throat, using the heart as a cover. The true killing move was in the throat. This was something that Rui had seen and calculated, so he dodged. However, he never expected that he would've overlooked the Cang family's ancestor's weapon — the software!
When Chu Rui blocked the Cang family's ancestor's attack and successfully dodged the second killing move and was about to counterattack, the software suddenly turned like a snake and viciously stabbed him in the left shoulder. Without the protection of the Chaos Set, how could he withstand the Cang family's ancestor's weapon when he was only wearing the lowest grade armor? Instantly, blood flowed everywhere!
"Interesting! You're the first young man who's only been lightly injured by my Autumn Water Sword. I'm very curious. Just who could've taught a disciple like you? Not only has your fire magic reached an unprecedented level, even your close combat skills are so strong! "
Seeing Chu Rui fly backwards, the Cang family's ancestor didn't pursue him. Instead, he chatted with him.
"What? Are you afraid? " Rui did not care about the wound on his left shoulder. This pain, to him, was nothing more than an itch. Looking at the Cang family's ancestor's figure, a mocking smile appeared on his face. He said mockingly, "Don't worry. I earned all my skills myself. I don't have a master or a sect to avenge me."
"Oh?"
The Cang family's ancestor raised his eyebrows. He was very surprised. He didn't believe Chu Rui's words at all. What kind of joke was this? You're such a young lad, yet you're able to possess such terrifying strength. It's already shocking to the extreme. But you say you don't have a master or a sect? Do you think I'm an idiot?
"It's up to you to believe me! Come, let's continue! "
Chu Rui swung his long sword, his expression incomparably ferocious. A moment of carelessness caused him to suffer a loss. This face, he must get back at him. 's's's's's's's's,'s's's's's,'s's's's's, "
"Young man, tell me. Is your sect XXX, XXX, or XXX? Apart from the three Sacred Grounds of the Cloud Mist Continent, there's probably no one else who can nurture a disciple like you. Or rather, your master is XXX! Probably only a Sacred Magus like him, who's known to be the closest to becoming an Archmage God in the past thousand years, can teach such a terrifying disciple! "
However, the Cang family's ancestor did not give up. He mentioned several names of Sacred Grounds and experts that Chu Rui had never heard of before. Chu Rui glanced at the shocked and fearful expressions of the others. He knew how terrifying the names the Cang family's ancestor had mentioned were. They were actually able to make these people, who were used to seeing great storms, pale.
"I've said it before. I don't have a master, and I'm not from any faction!"
Chu Rui's eyes turned cold. Was this old man going to compromise now? The Sacred Grounds and experts he mentioned were definitely existences that he, or even the entire Canglan Empire, couldn't afford to offend. Even if he killed him now, if the factions and experts behind him decided to settle the score later, he would still have to bear the consequences. He could have used this to his advantage. Unfortunately, he, Chu Rui, had never been so shameless. Moreover, did he really need to resort to such despicable means when facing this old man?
Chu Rui was already furious that the Cang family's ancestor had been stalling for time. He had sensed the old man's aura when he'd appeared just now. He'd only appeared when the old man had defeated the entire bat demon army and slaughtered so many imperial guards and was about to make a move on the Canglan Emperor. This guy was definitely a selfish person to the extreme. He'd repeatedly avoided fighting him head-on because he wanted to delay the effects of the Celestial One Holy Water. It was truly sinister.
"Pfft …"
Chu Rui couldn't take it anymore. If this continued, the situation would be dire. He'd already achieved his goal of making the Cang family lose the hearts of the people. As long as he didn't die, everything would be fine. However, just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest. Then, he felt a sharp pain. Blood surged up and spewed out of his mouth uncontrollably.
"Hiss …"
A wisp of black smoke rose. The blood Chu Rui spat out was actually black. When it landed on the ground, it corroded a large hole in the floor!
Poison!
"You …"
Chu Rui's eyes widened. He clutched his chest and looked at the Cang family's ancestor with a smile on his face. His heart was filled with hatred. He turned his head to look at the wound on his left shoulder that had been caused by the Autumn Water Sword. It had already turned black and the flesh around the wound was slowly rotting.
"Good move!"
Winner takes all. Chu Rui didn't curse like a stray dog. Instead, he laughed in anger and gave the Cang family's ancestor a thumbs up. He was very impressed. Even though this old man was extremely despicable and shameless, he had to admit that he was very cooperative. As expected of a super experienced veteran. The older the ginger, the spicier it was. Even though he was so vigilant, he was still fooled by the layers of tricks that he could not guard against.
Chu Rui understood that the Cang family's ancestor's seemingly unbelievable actions weren't because he was worried about the so-called power and experts behind him, but because he was stalling for time. He wasn't stalling for time for the effects of the Tianyi Holy Water, but for time for the poison to take effect.
What a scheme!
"Men, capture this young hero. Lock his shoulder blades and bring him back. I'll interrogate him personally!"
In the face of Rui's calm attitude, and the fact that he was not mocking him, but genuinely giving him a thumbs up and showing his admiration for him, the Cang Family's Patriarch was taken aback. However, he was someone who had seen great storms. Even though Chu Rui's actions were very unexpected, his heart couldn't be shaken.
