Chapter 249: The Backup n of the Hun n, the Fallen Powerhouse!


    ?


    "Damn it!"


    Hun Miesheng roared in anger.


    From the aura alone, it was clear that Xiao Chen''s attack was incredibly fierce and ferocious.


    Without another word, Hun Miesheng took a deep breath, and a ck energy sphere about half a meter in diameter shot out from his mouth. Inside the ck sphere, agonizing screams echoed, as if countless souls were devouring each other within.


    "Ssssh!"


    As soon as the ck sphere emerged, Xiao Chen''s blood-red sh collided with it. In an instant, a crimson line spread across the ck sphere, and with a loud crack, the sphere split in half.


    "Ugh!"


    Hun Miesheng spat out blood and hurriedly retreated, his face pale. Xiao Chen''s attack was unbelievably sharp, and the blood axe seemed capable of slicing through the heavens and earth.


    "Three Heaven-Splitting Axes!"


    Xiao Chen seized the opportunity, swinging his massive blood axe three more times in quick session.


    In the next moment, three crimson lines of blood shot out across the space. Though they seemed thin, even Hun Miesheng could feel an overwhelming sense of danger from them.


    "Soul Burial Technique!"


    Hun Miesheng''s body trembled as his soul floated out from the center of his brow. His soul''s arms exploded in a strange manner, and a vast amount of ck mist surged forth, covering the sky and the sun.


    "Boom! Boom! Boom!"


    The three lines of blood tore throughyers of ck mist. The first two were blocked by the mist, but the third pierced through to the center.


    "Ah!"


    A chilling scream echoed as the ck mist halted, retreating rapidly before everyone''s eyes.


    As the mist cleared, the crowd gasped in shock. Just three strikes had left a massive wound on Hun Miesheng''s body.


    "Still alive?" Xiao Chen muttered, clearly surprised. He hadn''t expected Hun Miesheng, despite being weaker, to survive his Heaven-Splitting Axes- an impressive feat.


    "You bastard!"


    Furious and humiliated, Hun Miesheng red at Xiao Chen with rage, never before so gravely injured.


    "Master!"


    "Are you okay, Master?"


    At this moment, Hun Feng and another subordinate rushed over to check on Hun Miesheng. If he were to die, they alone couldn''t protect the Purifying Demonic Lotus me.


    "Don''t worry, I won''t die!"


    Hun Miesheng took out a bottle of medicine and poured it over his ghastly wound, causing white steam to rise.


    He hesitated for a moment before calling out loudly, "Old Mo, you''ve watched the show long enough. Isn''t it time for you to act?"


    "What? The Hun n has more reinforcements in the Demonic me Space?"


    "I should have known! If they nned to kill Young Master Gu Fei, they must have made thorough preparations..."


    Hearing Hun Miesheng''s words, the elders of the ancient ns began discussing among themselves, their eyes scanning the surroundings for the Hun n''s backup.


    Gu Fei was not surprised by the development; he had long anticipated the Hun n''s backup n.


    "Hun Miesheng, I can''t believe you''re this useless. How disappointing..."


    As the crowd searched, an old and raspy voice sighed from the void.


    An elderly man in gray robes appeared, shaking his head in disappointment. As he emerged, his face changed slightly, revealing a pair of long ck eyebrows that hung down eerily.


    "Hun Mo, it''s you?"


    "Does your Hun n truly intend to break the ancient treaty?"


    Upon seeing the ck-browed elder, Gu Nanhai and the other elders of the ancient ns wore grim expressions.


    Hun Miesheng had already broken the treaty by being a mid-stage Five-Star Dou Saint, and now they had sent someone even stronger, a Five-Star Dou Saint at theter stage. This was a tant disregard for the treaty!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    "The Hun n is shameless!"


    Huo Zhi from the Yan n cursed in anger. Just when she had finally felt relieved after Xiao Chen''s intervention, the Hun n revealed even more despicable tactics.


    Elder Hun Mo was a well-known figure, and sending someone of his stature to kill a junior was utterly shameless.


    "Hehe, our enmity with the Gu n runs deep. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. The treaty isn''t invible," Elder Hun Mo said with a faint smile, unfazed by the crowd''s outcry. He knew that even if they broke the treaty, the other ancient ns would do no more than scold them; none would truly take action.


    "Hurry up and act, Old Mo!" Hun Miesheng said coldly.


    "Haha, I can''t believe you were rendered helpless by this man," Hun Mo mocked.


    "Stop acting superior! Do you even know who he is?" Hun Miesheng growled, now having recognized Xiao Chen''s identity.


    Xiao Chen, meanwhile, continued approaching, unfazed by the Elder Hun Mo''s appearance.


    "You must be Xiao Chen, the Blood Axe of the Xiao n. I didn''t expect you''d still be alive. You''re lucky. Had you remained with the Xiao n, your fate would have been no different from Xiao Xuan''s!" Hun Mo sneered, his gaze icy as he looked at Xiao Chen and his blood axe. "What happened to Cousin Xiao Xuan?" Xiao Chen halted, his expression darkening as he demanded answers.


    "Haha, it seems you don''t know yet!"


    "Your Xiao n was annihted by our n a thousand years ago. Xiao Xuan died at the hands of our n leader!" Hun Moughed. He didn''t bother fabricating a story; with so many witnesses, deception would be pointless.


    "What? Cousin Xiao Xuan is dead?"


    Xiao Chen''s face filled with disbelief. He knew how powerful his cousin was. Unless a Dou God had intervened, no one could possibly harm Xiao Xuan. How could the entire Xiao n have been destroyed by a mere Hun n?


    "If you don''t believe me, ask the others present. Your Xiao n is long gone," Hun Mo


    taunted.


    Xiao Chen turned toward Gu Fei, looking for confirmation.


    "Senior Xiao Chen, it''s true. The Xiao n has all but perished," Gu Fei said, nodding solemnly. "Back then, your cousin sacrificed the n''s bloodline in an attempt to ascend to Dou God, but he failed. The Hun n took advantage and ambushed him, leading to his


    demise..."


    With Gu Fei''s confirmation, Xiao Chen''s eyes dimmed. A deep sense of regret welled up inside him- regret that he hadn''t been there to fight for the Xiao n in its time of crisis.
