Chapter 1169: Chapter 1168: The People in the Celestial Palace
Lin Fan let out two loud laughs and said, "Clint, you’re really ridiculous. This is my Huaxia, and this tomb was built according to our Huaxia ancient tomb structure. Your blood clan ancestors’ legacy? I seriously suspect your brain got slammed in a door!"
"Bastard! What did you say!" Clint roared!
"I said your damn brain got slammed in a door!" Lin Fan cursed again!
"Courting death! Roar—!"
Clint threw his head back and let out a long howl, gripping his weapon and hacking crazily toward Lin Fan!
At this moment, three fingers on Lin Fan’s right hand had snapped; he could no longer use his sword, so he had to switch to his left hand and raise it horizontally to block!
With a loud "clang"!
Although Lin Fan could also wield the Soft Sword quite decently with his left hand, it ultimately wasn’t as strong as his main arm. This downward chop made his left arm go completely numb, and he almost couldn’t hold on to the Soft Sword in his hand!
"Swish!"
Clint once again brought his weapon down in a frenzied chop!
Lin Fan had no choice but to lift the Soft Sword again to block!
"Clang!"
The ear-piercing crisp clash rang out again!
This strike forced Lin Fan back seven or eight steps in a row, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood!
Before Lin Fan could even catch his breath, Lin Ye rushed up again!
Lin Fan was helpless and could only use the Soft Sword to block again and again!
"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!" ...
For a time, the sound of metal colliding rang out nonstop as Clint brought his weapon chopping down again and again!
Lin Fan didn’t even know how many blows he had blocked. He felt like his arm no longer belonged to his own body; another mouthful of blood spewed out as he was blasted flying!
"Boss!"
Seeing this, Nie Lei hurriedly snapped the necks of two blood clan experts, then charged toward Clint, viciously flicking the daggers in his hands out!
"Courting death!"
Clint let out a cold shout, swung his weapon, and precisely chopped onto the two incoming daggers, knocking them flying!
Then Clint blasted out a punch. Before Nie Lei could even get close, his fist had already smashed into Nie Lei’s shoulder, making him spit blood as he crashed down beside Lin Fan!
"Boss!" "Boss!"
Nalan Qiankun and Shunzi shouted in unison and rushed over together!
Unfortunately, as fast as they rushed in, they were sent flying just as fast, all spitting blood from their mouths!
As the king of the blood clan, Clint had lived for over a hundred years. His strength was simply not something Lin Fan and the others could contend with. He had already reached the same realm as Lin Kongxian.
Lin Fan was indeed strong, but he’d only cultivated for a bit over twenty years. Among the blood clan, as long as the blood clan king didn’t appear, he could indeed be unstoppable. But in the face of Clint, Lin Fan was still just a bit lacking!
At the same time, Xiang’Er and Miao Qiaomei were also forced back by the combined efforts of the brothers Clark and Clare!
At this moment, everyone on Lin Fan’s side was injured!
"Hahaha! Stupid humans, this is what you get for opposing my mighty blood clan!" Clark roared with wild laughter! Lin Fan and the others’ faces were grim. Just the three blood clan kings alone were enough to make them suffer, and behind them stood a whole group of blood clan powerhouses. Lin Fan and the others simply couldn’t withstand them!
"Did I, Lin Fan, finally find the Celestial Palace with such difficulty, only to die here?" Lin Fan clenched his palm tightly, his face full of unwillingness!
Clint looked at Lin Fan and sneered, "Tyrant! Don’t worry, I won’t kill you right away. I’ll let you watch with your eyes wide open as I become the strongest, and then I’ll kill you all one by one to offer as a sacrifice for me, Clint, becoming the strongest!"
"Men, seize them immediately!"
Krent swung his arm and shouted loudly!
"Who dares disturb my rest!"
Suddenly, a voice like a crashing thunderclap came from the very top of the Celestial Palace!
This scene made everyone’s expression change drastically!
This Celestial Palace had existed for several hundred years, and yet that shout just now, they were sure they hadn’t misheard it. Could it be that there was still someone alive here?
"Who is it? Sneaking around—get out here!"
A blood clan powerhouse shouted arrogantly!
"Courting death!"
The thunderous voice suddenly turned razor-sharp!
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a sharp sound of something tearing through the air rang out!
Everyone only saw a cold gleam flash before their eyes; the next second, that blood clan powerhouse was already collapsed on the ground, his head separated from his body!
And that cold gleam was a Long Sword!
After lopping off that blood clan powerhouse’s head, the Long Sword spun and flew back up toward the Celestial Palace!
"Hiss—!"
Everyone couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air!
This scene was simply too terrifying. That move just now was like a bolt of lightning—no one even had time to react!
Lin Fan couldn’t help thinking that if that sword had been aimed at him, he’d probably die just as cleanly, without even knowing what had happened!
"This is someone even more terrifying than that old man Lin Kongxian!"
Just from that one sword, Lin Fan had already reached a conclusion!
At this moment, sounds came from atop the Celestial Palace, and everyone simultaneously looked up!
Under everyone’s shocked gazes, they saw a man clad in battle armor, nine feet tall, with chiseled features carrying a hint of coldness. Yet his face looked like that of a man in his early forties. Stepping on the void itself, he walked down from the Celestial Palace step by step through the air!
In the man’s hand, he was holding the Long Sword that had just killed that blood clan powerhouse!
"So you’re the ones who disturbed my rest?" The man looked calmly at Clint and the others and spoke lightly!
"Hmph! Playing at ghosts and gods—do you really think this king fears you? All together, kill him!" Clint hissed in a hoarse roar!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
A group of blood clan powerhouses immediately rose into the air, charging toward that man!
Unfortunately, as he watched this group of blood clan powerhouses rush over, the man’s expression didn’t change at all. He remained poised and at ease, his steps neither hurried nor slow, as if he were out for a leisurely stroll!
"Since you’re delivering yourselves to my door, I’ll send you to your deaths!"
The man gave a soft shout, and the Long Sword in his hand began to swing rapidly!
The man’s speed was incredibly fast. The Long Sword in his hand flashed one icy Sword Light after another through the air, so fast you couldn’t even see how he was striking!
"Swish swish swish~"
After a series of shrill sword sounds, the man had already passed through the encirclement of that group of blood clan powerhouses!
And when they looked again at those blood clan powerhouses, their heads had all been severed from their bodies, not one of them alive. Some fell onto their own corpses; others plunged into the bottomless abyss beneath the Celestial Palace!
Everyone was stunned!
These were more than thirty blood clan powerhouses!
Yet this man had merely walked past them, like he was taking a stroll. He hadn’t even used a full minute, and those thirty-plus blood clan powerhouses had almost no chance to fight back before their heads were all chopped off!
And on that man’s body, not a single drop of blood had splashed onto him. It was downright terrifying!
