Chapter 885: Who Exactly Are You
Everyone present looked at Eighth Hall Master with mocking faces.
The Heavenly Ruler Demon said, "The Eighth Hall Master, can you give me five Eternal Crystals? I promise not to run away, really. I keep my word, you know that, right?"
The Eighth Hall Master's face darkened, and the temperature around him dropped to freezing.
"Pfft!" The Heavenly Ruler Demon burst into laughter. "Eighth Hall Master, you're a dumbass. Do you really think that we're all fools?"
Had they followed Ye Guan for the sake of Eternal Crystals alone? Of course not. They had decided to follow Ye Guan due to the Dao Fruits and the promise of Eternal Crystals!
Most importantly, they believed that the force behind Ye Guan was a Tier Five civilization or perhaps a civilization higher than that. They decided to follow Ye Guan, as even though they'd get rich by jumping onto the Evil Dao Alliance's ship, they had to be alive to enjoy their riches.
Moreover, the Evil Dao Alliance could decide to settle the scores with them later on, and they'd be doomed by then.
Fortunately, they weren't so stupid as to offend both sides at once.
Many times, the worst thing one could do was to be indecisive and try to please both sides. By doing that, one would most likely end up pleasing neither.
The Eighth Hall Master chuckled. He ignored the Heavenly Ruler Demon and the rest. Instead, he looked at Hengshan Ying and said, "If you're willing to stay out of this, I'll offer you twenty Eternal Crystals."
Everyone looked at Hengshan Ying. Instead of responding, she turned to Ye Guan and asked, "Young Master Ye, aren't you going to make your move?"
"Hahaha!" Ye Guan laughed heartily and said, "Everyone, step back."
Although the Heavenly Ruler Demon and the others were puzzled by his words, they still retreated behind him.
Ye Guan swung his sword, and nothing happened.
Everyone was puzzled.
The Eighth Hall Master's eyes suddenly narrowed. "You..."
The hair of the Evil Dao Alliance members began to turn white at a rate visible to the naked eye, and their faces rapidly aged as well.
Everyone was terrified by the sight!
What was happening?
Ye Guan swung his sword three more times in quick succession.
When the third strike was made, a Path Creation Realm cultivator turned into a wisp of blue smoke and vanished.
He was erased from existence.
"He's severing lifespan!" someone exclaimed in a trembling voice.
Severing someone's lifespan?
Dao Jun, the Heavenly Ruler Demon, and the others turned to look at Ye Guan in fear. As Path Creation Realm cultivators, they were extremely concerned about their lifespan. Although they had a long lifespan, their lifespan would never increase unless they made further advancements in their cultivation base, but making another breakthrough from the Path Creation Realm onward was almost impossible.
And Ye Guan had just severed 1,200,000 years of lifespan from the Eighth Hall Master and his people.
1,200,000 years!
Damn! Even Dao Jun and the others felt their scalp going numb at the realization.
Most of the Path Creation Realm cultivators present were old; who could withstand a few strikes of Ye Guan's Lifespan Severance?
There was a terrifying kind of death; it was called "slow death," and it meant that one knew one's exact date of death, but one could do nothing about it.
Ye Guan's sword strikes had effectively accelerated their slow deaths.
The Eighth Hall Master's eyes reflected dread. He was powerful, but his lifespan was indeed limited as well.
"I'm sorry," Hengshan Ying said apologetically, "I thought you could handle it."
Ci Tian had no idea what to say.
Just then, Hengshan Ying suddenly raised her right hand and pressed downward. an invisible barrier sprang up, forcing the Eighth Hall Master to come to a halt. Hengshan Ying then waved her left hand, sending a cyan-green light into Ci Tian's figure. The wounds all over Ci Tian healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Ci Tian was shocked. She was indeed not a simple young woman.
The Eighth Hall Master turned to look at Hengshan Ying and said, "That's an Ancient Boundary Spell! And they're supposed to be lost spells; how are you using them? Who exactly are you?"
Hengshan Ying appeared surprised. "You recognize it?"
The Eighth Hall Master stared intently at her. "Are you truly willing to become a mortal enemy of the Evil Dao Alliance for someone you barely know?"
"The Evil Dao Alliance doesn't scare me at all," replied Hengshan Ying with a shrug.
The Eighth Hall Master clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes became filled with thick killing intent.
"AARGH!" someone screamed. The Eighth Hall Master turned his head and saw a Path Creation Realm from the Eighth Hall falling dead on the spot. Ye Guan had struck him down.
The Eighth Hall Master's expression turned grim. He clenched his fists, and a terrifying aura erupted from within him. At the same time, his eyes changed, transforming into an eerie dark red, and his right arm transformed into a bizarre beastly limb.
Boom!
The Eighth Hall Master's aura surged wildly.
Hengshan Ying's eyelid twitched, and she quickly turned to Ci Tian. "Abbot, hurry up and stop him! He's about to unleash a big move!"
Ci Tian was dumbfounded.
The Eighth Hall Master spun around, transforming into a streak of black light that flew toward Ye Guan.
Seeing this, Ci Tian gnashed his teeth and put his hands together. Then, he transformed into a tiny golden statue before launching himself at the Eighth Hall Master.
"Scram!" the Eighth Hall Master roared, turning around and throwing a punch.
Boom!
The golden statue shattered, and Ci Tian was sent flying tens of thousands of meters away. As soon as he stopped, his fleshly body shattered once again, and blood spurted out of his wounds. He was so shocked that he went completely numb.
Just then, Ye Guan sensed something and turned around, slashing out with his sword.
Boom!
A deafening explosion echoed. Ye Guan's sword light shattered, and he flew tens of kilometers away. When he finally stopped and looked down at himself, he saw cracks all over his body.
"Watch out!" Hengshan Ying's voice rang in his head. "He's going through a beast transformation. He's not completely human—"
Swoosh!
Hengshan Ying could not complete her sentence, as the Eighth Hall Master flew toward Ye Guan once again.
The Eighth Hall Master raised his fist and swung it.
Bang!
The nearby spacetime shattered, and Ye Guan was blasted ten kilometers away.
When Ye Guan finally managed to stabilize himself in mid-air, he coughed and blood trickled down the corner of his mouth.
Just then, Hongshan Ying sensed something, and her expression changed. "Little—"
A shadowy figure appeared behind Ye Guan, and a cold streak of light pierced Ye Guan's back.
"Fuck!" Ci Tian yelled with eyes bloodshot from rage. He was severely injured, but he forced himself to move, and blood spilled all around him as he flew desperately toward Ye Guan.
