Chapter 1355 Death


    The bullet flew and hit the strand of bad aura mercilessly, pinning it in ce.


    Jean slowly emerged from the Concealment Formation.


    The ck-robed man felt his sanity snap, wishing with all his might that he could just kill Jean right


    then. She''s just a weak ghost! I could have easily eliminated her with a snap of my fingers!


    However, he knew that escaping was the priority at the moment. Thus, he couldn''t afford to waste even


    a second.


    So, he had no choice but to inch away from Jean, feeling exceedingly frustrated. The ck-robed man


    was so frustrated and enraged that he almost lost all of his rationality.


    Regardless, he quickly suppressed his resentment and hastily changed his path without saying a word.


    He didn''t know what the bullet was made of. Still, he could tell it was powerful enough to immobilize


    him. As a result, he had to decisively abandon a part of his spirit consciousness that was nailed down.


    He had just turned around when ke and that cunning old man began to rain down a barrage of


    attacks on him.


    It turned out that he had been deceived by their cheap ploy!


    Of all the… These insidious b*stards!


    The ck-robed man was shocked, furious, and worried. He desperately wanted to escape but found


    all of his routes blocked.


    The only possible breakthrough seemed to be Jean. She was the weakest of the three. So, it didn''t


    even matter that she had that strange gun in hand, as she was still the easiest to defeat.


    Unfortunately, ke had taken his moment of inattention to shield her behind him!


    The ck-robed man felt the metallic tang of iron flowing down his lips. If he had known their n, he


    wouldn''t have switchednes just to flee. He should have attacked Jean immediately!


    ke had always been the silent and ruthless type in battle. So, he didn''t utter even a single sound as


    he attacked the shadow with his Dark me Sword. His blow struck true, and he ended the shadow''s


    life just like that.


    If the ck-robed man had been a Late Emperor Realm cultivator, ke would have been stuck in a


    very one-sided fight.


    Even though the ck-robed man was in tatters, ke wouldn''t have been able to pull out a win at all.


    When Lilly and Ivan fought the ck-robed man, they had to work together in order to triumph. Lilly


    was simply an Early Emperor Realm who had just gotten herself a new Order under her belt. This time,


    the shadow was fighting against ke, who was also an Early Emperor Realm, alone.


    Unfortunately, the overly cautious ck-robed man''s first strategy was to escape.


    If he had fought ke head-on, ke truly wouldn''t have been so confident that they woulde out


    on top.


    Jean breathed a sigh of relief and asked urgently, "Is he dead?"


    ke frowned as he surveyed the area. The surrounding shadows and bad aura had disappeared as if


    he had truly been exterminated.


    There was no trace of his escape either.


    "We''ll find out if he''s dead... with another strike."


    Then, he promptly swung his Dark me Sword downward, ending any possible hope of survival for


    the ck-robed man!


    He had figured that his opponent wouldn''t be able to feign his death or conceal his existence for more


    than a radius of five feet. So, he didn''t hesitate to blow every speck of dirt apart within that particr


    area.


    Mount Everest rumbled as ke started to overturn the entire area.


    On the other hand, 10 feet underground, the faint consciousness of the ck-robed man was filled with


    nothing but sheer, unadulterated hatred.


    It would have been one thing to be killed by Emperor Eastmount. In fact, it would have made his pride


    feel a lot better.


    He had always considered Emperor Eastmount as his one and only opponent.


    Thus, everything he had done was to prepare for a future confrontation with Emperor Eastmount.


    He could have found it within himself to eventuallye to terms with the fact that he had been


    defeated by Emperor Eastmount and reduced to nothing but a mere wisp. That wasn''t the case here!


    He had never expected to be defeated by some beginners!


    s, reality had given him a hard p across the face. Now, he had no choice but to fake his death,


    burrow into the ground, and not move a muscle.

    This was simply uneptable!


    Nheless, before he could vow vengeance, he felt the ground tremble around him. ke was


    actually doing his d*mnest to find him by using his sword to dig around like a simple farmer.


    This time, he was spewing blood out of sheer fury.


    The long sword descended, destroying everything in its path. The ck-robed man knew that this time,


    he wouldn''t be able to escape from his plight.


    He was now nothing but a speck of wisp filled with resentment. Still, it seemed that his eyes had


    somehow materialized as he red at ke venomously.


    His piercing shriek echoed in the void, "You! You people are truly impressive! But do you really think


    you can kill me?"


    Then, he bellowed, "As long as King Earthid is alive, I will continue to exist. Kill him if you dare!


    Hahahaha! As long as he lives, I will never die! Never!"


    This time, thest trace of bad aura from the ck-robed man waspletely extinguished.


    Unfortunately, ke didn''t feel the slightest bit relieved. Instead, he felt a heavy burden in his heart.


    What the other person said... was indeed correct.


    The heart of a human was aplex thing indeed. So, it was only natural for everyone to possess a


    dark side. The only differencey in whether the noble side could suppress and restrain their darker


    half.


    As long as King Earthid lived on, his vow of "no one will attain enlightenment until all beings are saved


    from hell" would also continue to be a persistent belief.


    Besides, they couldn''t truly go ahead and kill King Earthid just like that.


    Jean clenched the corner of her clothes, falling silent.


    In the end, Crawford Ancestor sighed and said wearily, "Let''s go. Let''s find our baby. I''m worried about


    her."


    The child had been missing for several days. What if she was injured? What if she was hungry or


    crying?


    Crawford Ancestor''s gaze hardened, and he immediately strode in a certain direction. "I sense the


    presence of a small ghost beast. Let''s go!"


    …


    On the other hand, a small mountain vige in the Human Realm seemed tranquil.


    There was a small courtyard with old and simple buildings dotting the mountainside. Nheless, it


    was kept clean.


    An old man dressed in liturgical vestments was writing on a piece of paper when suddenly his pen


    trembled, and a drop of ink fell onto the paper.


    The old man remained silent and calmly ced his pen down.


    Then, he sat at the tea table and slowly brewed a cup of tea, pouring one for himself and another for


    the person sitting across from him.


    Across from him was the very spot where Lilly had visited during her spiritual journey.


    The old man sighed and said slowly, "Although he suppressed and sealed me here, I could leave if I


    wanted to."


    Then, he murmured, "Yet, I chose not to leave and instead added severalyers of restrictions on


    myself, using his power topletely suppress me in these mountains... Little one, do you know why?"


    There was no response from the other side.


    The old mansion fell silent as if patiently listening. The old man finally said, "Because suppressing me


    is suppressing him. Sealing me is sealing him."
