Chapter 123.2: Youll Never Kill Anyone Fighting Like That. Let Me Show You How.
Bloodfall Thousand Cities.
Inside a vast, dimly lit hall, twenty-three Supremes had gathered. Supreme Yang Hun stood in one inconspicuous corner, ignored and barely acknowledged by the others. At the highest seats sat five mid-stage Supremes, their auras oppressive.
Supreme Lan Mei's face was cold and sharp as a blade. "In three days, a Great Supreme will be passing through this region. You need not know who she is. All you need to know is that we’re here to make her stay."
"A Great Supreme? That's difficult," one of the Supremes muttered.
With so many Supremes joining forces, they understood they could perhaps detain a Great Supreme. However, killing one was another matter entirely. Even a wounded Great Supreme could easily take several of them down in one fell swoop.
Supreme Lan Mei said evenly, "Worry not. That Great Supreme is gravely injured, she won’t pose much threat. Besides, I have a treasure refined by two Great Supremes. It can merge our strength into one and form a unified defense."
The moment he finished speaking, over twenty array flags descended from the air, each falling neatly into a Supreme's hand. They examined the flags and exchanged astonished glances. The aura exuded by the array was far stronger than expected.
One of them said with a grin, "With this treasure, we can fight with peace of mind."
A Great Supreme was terrifying indeed. Still, if twenty-odd Supremes wielded a weapon forged by two Great Supremes, they could hold their ground, perhaps even prevail. Besides, their target was injured.
Then, Supreme Lan Mei went on, turning serious. "From now on, we will remain here and refine the array. No one leaves. I will not have our plan leaked."
A Supreme chuckled. "Even if the news leaks, what of it? Who would dare to come rescue her?"
Another said, "Don't be so sure. Three years ago, upon emerging from seclusion, I heard rumors of a Blood Palace in the City of No Return. Word was, their so-called Blood Master can help others reach the Supreme realm. They say several Supremes already dwell there."
