Supreme Lord of Towers

Ye Hao was now barely clinging to life, even his breathing had become extremely faint, as if he could disappear at any moment.

Although, the elixir given to him by Hei Bo had extremely potent healing effects.

However, the injuries Ye Hao sustained were just too severe, relying solely on this elixir was absolutely impossible to heal his wounds.

If this continues to drag on, he could be in danger of losing his life at any moment.

"Speak, who exactly sent you?" Hei Bo's eyes turned blood-red, horrifying murderous intent surging from within, as he coldly addressed Zhou Ba and the other man.

"Old ghost, kill or maim as you please, we will never betray our master," Zhou Ba sneered.

With a deafening bang.

In the next moment, a violent surge of mana crashed toward the assassin beside Zhou Ba, instantly smashing him into a cloud of blood mist.

"Now, will you speak or not? If you speak, I can give you a swift end. If not, I will make you wish for death rather than life," Hei Bo said expressionlessly.

Ye Hao, right under his nose, had been so gravely injured, hovering on the brink of death.

If Hei Bo doesn't uncover the mastermind behind this, how could he face Ye Chen?

"Old ghost, you're just trying to scare me, I will never speak," Zhou Ba responded with his chin up, his lips twisted in a mocking grin, ready to face death with dignity.

"Tendons and Bones Separating Palm." At that moment, a terrifying gleam shot out from Hei Bo's eyes, and the surrounding mana coalesced into a black palm that slapped Zhou Ba's chest fiercely.

Crackling sounds.

In the following moment, a terrifying force permeated every corner of Zhou Ba's body, mangling his tendons into a tangle, while his bones all displaced.

Aaah!

A shrill scream echoed from Zhou Ba's lips, chilling to the very bone.

The pain he endured at that moment was indescribable, even more agonizing than being pierced by a thousand arrows.

No matter how indomitable his will, his spirit crumbled instantly.

His mind contained only one thought, and that was to be killed swiftly.

Only death could grant him true release.

"Kill me, please kill me," Zhou Ba begged Hei Bo, his facial features contorted together, even the veins on his forehead protruding grotesquely.

"Speak, and I'll give you a swift end," Hei Bo said coldly.

"It was Xiahou Dian who sent me," Zhou Ba's spirit finally shattered, hurriedly confessing.

"That old bastard again," Ouyang Xue shuddered, her chest filled with rage, even her teeth clenched tightly as fresh blood seeped out.

Her entire family had been exterminated by people sent by Xiahou Dian, not even the newborns were spared.

This was an eternal pain for Ouyang Xue.

But now, Xiahou Dian, that old bastard, actually sent people into Dragon Elephant Peak, attempting to kill Ye Chen's adoptive father and mother, along with Ye Hao.

If it weren't for Hei Bo's presence, they would have been long dead.

Thus, Ouyang Xue's hatred for Xiahou Dian was beyond words.

If she had the power, she would immediately dismember Xiahou Dian, even if it meant offending the entire Azure Sky Immortal Sect.

"I've already told you, hurry up and kill me, I beg you," Zhou Ba pleaded desperately with Hei Bo, looking utterly tormented.

"If you die, I won't have any evidence. I'll keep you alive until Ye Chen returns to deal with you," Hei Bo said coldly, refraining from killing Zhou Ba.

"Ah! You damned old ghost, why are you going back on your word? May you die a horrible death," Zhou Ba roared in fury.

The constant, excruciating pain he was in made life unbearable.

But Hei Bo refused to give him a swift end.

It was cruel beyond measure for him.

"Hei Bo, Ye Hao's breathing is getting weaker, please save him," suddenly, Ouyang Xue's face changed drastically, and she spoke with urgent concern.

Because Ye Hao's breathing had become extremely faint.

If nothing was done to save him, he would surely die.

"Alas! I can only use my mana to barely sustain his life for now, but I'm not from Overlord Body Peak and can't contact its higher-ups, otherwise they could save Ye Hao," Hei Bo sighed.

"I'll go find the Peak Master," Ouyang Xue responded quickly.

"No, you absolutely cannot leave Dragon Elephant Peak, there might be other enemies lurking nearby. Now, quickly follow me back to Ye Chen's dwelling," Hei Bo shook his head, and with a thought, he immobilized Ouyang Xue with his mana.

Whoosh.

In the next moment, he hurriedly led Ouyang Xue and her group toward Ye Chen's dwelling.

Now, with Ye Hao's life hanging by a thread, if something also happened to Ouyang Xue, he would have even more to answer for to Ye Chen.

So, he couldn't allow Ouyang Xue to leave.

"Damn it, who is this person, to have cultivation in the Profound Pill Realm? The Third Elder miscalculated this time," in a palace some miles away from Dragon Elephant Peak, Gongyang Tai's expression turned exceedingly grim.

He originally thought the four assassins sent to Dragon Elephant Peak would easily capture Ouyang Xue.

But unexpectedly, Dragon Elephant Peak harbored a hidden expert like Hei Bo.

This was far beyond his expectations.

However, he could only let Hei Bo suppress those assassins.

If he intervened, it would be suspected that the assassins were let in purposely by him.

In that case, Venerable Zi Chen would never spare him.

"Ha! Elder Tuoba, I sent my men to surely crush Ye Chen's adoptive father and mother, after we capture that slut Ouyang Xue, we'll quickly learn the whereabouts of the Treasure Map," at Overlord Body Peak, in a splendidly decorated palace, Xiahou Dian's smile was twisted and he spoke with intense excitement.

Even he hadn't expected Tuoba Xiong to truly bribe the Eighth Elder Gongyang Tai of Overlord Body Peak.

Had it not been for Gongyang Tai turning a blind eye, it would be nearly impossible for his men to even approach Dragon Elephant Peak, not to mention abducting Ouyang Xue.
