Chapter 690: Golden Radiance Armor
The newcomer wore a robe similar to that of the black-robed youth, but his appearance was much older.
Though he had lost track of his target, he remained unwilling to give up. He released his life-bound insect gu to scour the area in search. Just then, a streak of evasion light shot in from the distance. Another middle-aged man in black robes approached swiftly.
Descending with his evasion light, the man swept his gaze across the area and, upon seeing only the elderly cultivator, frowned and asked, "Fifth Junior Brother, why are you alone? Where’s Sixth Junior Brother and the person he was following?"
"Third Senior Brother, Sixth Junior Brother..."
The elder faltered, unable to speak further.
Noticing the man’s expression, the middle-aged cultivator felt a sudden foreboding. His face darkened, and he bellowed, "Speak! What exactly happened?!"
The elder’s face turned ashen. "I don’t know what exactly happened either. I heard the sound of a Lightning Command Talisman and rushed over at full speed. But when I arrived, Sixth Junior Brother had already been killed..."
"What?!"
The middle-aged man’s eyes instantly turned bloodshot. He glared at the elder. "You just stood by and watched Sixth Junior Brother get killed and let the murderer escape?!"
The elder shrank back slightly and said softly, "The killer’s speed was no slower than Eldest Senior Brother. I only saw a flash of red before he vanished without a trace. Though my cultivation is one level higher than Sixth Junior Brother, he possessed supreme treasures and was stronger than me. He already used the Lightning Command Talisman, but the enemy wasn’t harmed at all..."
"There was only one attacker?"
The middle-aged man’s pupils constricted. His voice grew solemn. "The Lightning Command Talisman and Golden Radiance Armor that Master bestowed upon Sixth Junior Brother are both supreme defensive treasures. We rushed over the moment we received his signal. Even if he had run into a late-stage Core Formation expert, he shouldn’t have died so quickly.
