Chapter 381: Mysterious Expert

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the dark void, countless runes circulated, emitting a dazzling light. Together with the array formation, they sealed off the entire space.

And at the center of the array formation, thousands of runes condensed into a spherical barrier that imprisoned Killing Dao in an attempt to suppress her.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Killing Dao’s long hair danced wildly as she released her aura without holding back. She crazily attacked the rune barrier, creating layers of ripples that spread out.

Just as the rune barrier was about to collapse from the pressure, the surrounding array formation suddenly swept over, passing through the Runic Barrier and wrapping around Killing Dao’s limbs.

At the same time, an indescribable energy landed on Killing Dao, causing her entire body to tremble and be unable to move. No matter how she struggled, it was useless. Her aura also plummeted, as if she was restricted by something.

After a long while, Killing Dao completely calmed down. Her meridians and spirit energy were sealed, and she lost the ability to resist.

“Hu, we finally caught her.”

Above the array formation, the white-haired old man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his expression slightly complicated.

After ten days and ten nights, the three True God Stage experts finally defeated this monster with 108 runes, and 2,600 array formations. There were several times these experts almost got severely injured.

Technically, they hadn’t even defeated her. After all, Killing Dao was only temporarily suppressed by runes and array formations.

Dammit! How could an incarnation of a divine artifact be so powerful?!

“What should we do next?” The old man asked.

Compared to the white-haired old man, this old man was undoubtedly even more miserable. His entire body was covered in dirt, and his clothes were ragged. Even the halo on his back was faintly discernible, as if it would be extinguished at any moment. He didn’t have the appearance of a True God Stage expert at all. If one didn’t know better, they would probably think that he was a beggar.

“Let’s bring her back first. I’ve never seen such a powerful divine artifact before. If we can use her, her combat strength will definitely increase by a level.”

The white-haired elder ordered.

“But she already seems to have an owner.” Another person said.

“Hehe, that’s impossible. Apart from Patriarch, who else can subdue such a powerful divine artifact?” The white-haired elder retorted.

“Uh…”

The person opened his mouth but was speechless.

Indeed, in the entire Inner Realm, besides the Heavenly Emperor back then, only their patriarch could do this. The Heavenly Emperor had long died, and they had never seen this divine artifact before. Clearly, it was in an ownerless state!

“Cut the crap and bring it back quickly. These runes and array formations won’t last long. If she escapes again, it’ll be troublesome.” The white-haired elder urged.

“Yes!”

After making up their minds, the three of them immediately circulated their spirit energy and moved the array formation, preparing to bring Killing Dao away.

Among the three of them, the white-haired old man’s name was Yang Yan, and the other two were Yang Gang and Yang Men. They were all lower realm True God Stage experts.

The three of them were on a trip doing their mission. In the end, they encountered Killing Dao on the way. Yang Yan could tell with a single glance that the other party was the incarnation of a divine artifact, so he wanted to subdue her.

In the end, he did not expect Killing Dao to be so powerful. The battle had just begun when he was directly suppressed. Fortunately, Yang Yan had a protective magic treasure, so he was not severely injured.

Moreover, Killing Dao seemed to like to fight very much. She became fiercer the more it fought, not giving Yang Yan a chance to escape at all.

In the end, the three of them had no choice but to join forces.

Even so, they were still beaten into an extremely sorry state by Killing Dao and were almost wiped out.

Right at this moment, space distorted slightly, forming a spatial gate. Then, a handsome youth in snow-white clothes walked out and blocked the three of them.

“…”

What was going on?

In an instant, an ominous feeling rose in the hearts of the three of them.

“Master!”

Within the rune barrier, Killing Dao raised her head and shouted.

Yang Yan was dumbfounded when he heard this. There was indeed a master!

“Oh?”

The youth looked in the direction of the voice and frowned. “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine.”

Killing Dao shook her head and said indifferently, “If it weren’t for these annoying runes and array formations, they would have already died.”

Yang Yan :”…”

Yang Gang :”…”

Yang Men :”…”

Too arrogant!

She did not put them in her eyes at all!

However, what Killing Dao said was indeed true.

“What’s going on?”

Qin Jue wasn’t in a hurry to save Killing Dao. Instead, he stood in place and chatted from afar.

He was certain that the three old men in front of him were absolutely not the leaders of the three top factions, nor were they from the Heavenly Palace. Then who exactly were they?

Could there be some unknown True God Stage experts hidden in the Inner Realm?

Or could it be that the three of them were also from the God Realm like the Heavenly Palace’s divine envoys?

“I don’t know either. That old fellow suddenly attacked me, and I fought back. After that, he couldn’t defeat me, so he joined forces with the other two old fellows and besieged me. He’s simply shameless. Hmph!”

Killing Dao pointed at Yang Yan and cursed angrily.

“…”

Seeing this, Yang Yan’s face flushed red as he gritted his teeth and said, “Who are you? You better not interfere!”

“Mind your own business!”

Qin Jue’s eyes were strange as he looked at Yang Yan as if he was looking at an idiot. “You captured my weapon. How is this not my business?”

“…”

“…”

“Why don’t… we let go of this divine artifact?”

After a moment of silence, Yang Gang could not help but feel like retreating.

After ten days and ten nights of battle, not only were the three of them exhausted, they were also injured. Even if Qin Jue was only an ordinary lower realm True God Stage expert, he could still easily kill them.

“That’s right, Brother.” Yang Men chimed in.

Hearing this, Yang Yan also wavered. If Qin Jue was stronger than Killing Dao, wouldn’t they be dead meat?

Thinking like this, Yang Yan took a deep breath and said, “We can let go of your divine artifact, but please let us go.”

“Sure.”

Qin Jue nodded without hesitation.

Yang Yan was stunned. He didn’t expect Qin Jue to agree so easily. He immediately looked at Yang Gang and Yang Men and immediately removed the rune barrier and array formation, letting Killing Dao out.

Their ten days and ten nights of hard work had all been wasted. It could be imagined how depressed the three of them were. However, in order to survive, they had no other choice.

“Goodbye.”

After saying this, Yang Yan was about to turn around when a sword light suddenly shot over at an incomparably fast speed!

Swoosh!

Yang Yan’s figure tilted slightly and barely dodged the sword light. He said angrily, “What is the meaning of this?”

“What do you mean?”

Qin Jue looked baffled. “I did agree to let you go, but my weapon didn’t.”

The person who had attacked Yang Yan just now was none other than Killing Dao!

“You!”

Yang Yan was unable to restrain his anger, but he was speechless.

“Old thing, you attacked me for no reason and want to leave just like that. You’re too naive!”

As soon as she finished speaking, sword qi swept out from Killing Dao’s body, and it forcefully severed space to prevent those runes and formations from approaching again.

However, what Killing Dao did not know was that Yang Yan and the other two no longer had the ability to construct so many rune arrays. On the other hand, as long as the Heavenly Dao laws were not destroyed, Killing Dao’s strength would be endless and would not be exhausted at all.

In other words, Killing Dao would definitely win.

“You forced me to do this..” Yang Yan said expressionlessly and coldly.
