Chapter 966: Priestess Qin (3)
Liu Shaji curled his lip disdainfully. "The pot might hold up, but you, little soft bun, won’t. Don’t go barging in and causing more trouble. You’ll just drag him down."
Liu Shaji was infamous for his sharp tongue. Xiong Gang’s face darkened immediately. Suddenly, the square-faced man’s nose twitched. His expression shifted.
"Something’s coming," he said.
Liu Shaji looked out toward the wilds of the Blade Ruins behind them.
"The Heavenly Eye Guards are approaching." A wild glint of battle lust flashed in his eyes. "You all hide. Leave the rest to me."
The White Lotus Killing Sword was a path built upon slaughter and combat. After each battle, Liu Shaji’s strength would leap forward, inching ever closer to the quasi-Emperor realm of his past life.
Though the Heavenly Eye Guards were a terrifying force from the Reaper Ancestor Court, feared wherever their name was heard, Liu Shaji was in the mood to challenge them today.
Zhu Zhixun and the others exchanged glances and didn’t argue further. Master Jin carefully retrieved a small handful of ash from his storage pouch. He raised his hand and scattered it, covering himself and his four companions in a veil.
This ash had been collected back at the funeral pyre on the Burial Ice Cliff. Subsequent testing had revealed that it had the power to conceal one’s presence. When scattered, it created a veil that completely blocked the Reapers’ perception, rendering their group invisible to enemy senses. Zhu Zhixun and the others quickly took cover.
Moments later, ten streaks of crimson light burst forth like lightning from the depths of the Blade Ruins, tearing through the sky at terrifying speed.
Boom. Boom. Boom.
The ten streaks of light struck the ground. When the cloud of metallic dust settled, ten towering figures appeared. They were humanoid in form and clad in crimson metallic armor. This was the standard battle gear of the Heavenly Eye Guards.
