Free Web NovelChapter 1178: Chapter 1177: Leaving the Ancient Tomb
"Slash!"
The sharp long sword struck through the air, slicing it apart before mercilessly cutting across Clare’s wrist!
The long sword was incredibly sharp, and although Clare’s body was exceptionally resilient, the sword blades that passed across Clare’s wrist unrelentingly severed his hand, sending blood splattering!
"My hand!"
Clare looked at his severed hand and screamed in agony!
"Damn it!"
Seeing this, Clint’s expression turned extremely stern!
Although Clint knew Lin Kongxian was terrifying, he hadn’t anticipated Lin Kongxian’s strength to be this formidable!
"Lin Kongxian, today I’m severely injured and not your match, but someday, I will make you pay the ultimate price!" Clint roared fiercely!
"No need for someday, let’s settle this today!"
Lin Kongxian replied coldly, with a face as rigid as a poker card, only the chilling intent for murder spreading across it!
With a swift and crisp sound!
Without a second thought, Clint drew his sword again, stabbing directly toward Lin Kongxian’s throat with the sharp blade!
Although the tip hadn’t reached yet, the ominous aura already gave Clint a sense of death, chilling his throat!
"Dodge!"
Clint’s mind clung to this single word, not daring to hesitate for a moment, his figure flickered as he hurriedly moved sideways to evade!
However, Clint was fast, but Lin Kongxian’s movement wasn’t slow either!
With a flick of his wrist, Lin Kongxian lightly lifted his sword, mercilessly slicing across Clint’s shoulder, spraying a bloom of blood!
Clint looked at the blood seeping from his shoulder, his expression contorted tightly!
"Lion’s Roar Skill!"
Clint shouted mightily, quickly taking a deep breath!
"Retreat quickly, cover your ears!"
Seeing this, Lin Kongxian’s expression changed, urgently retracting his sword and retreating seven or eight steps back!
Lin Fan and others had experienced the terrifying power of the Lion’s Roar Skill and didn’t dare delay, quickly covering their ears as well!
"Roar roar roar!" "Roar roar roar!"
In an instant, deafening roars echoed in the cavern, like a series of exploding land mines!
Even though Lin Fan covered his ears, the piercing sound penetrated into his ears, causing a moment of dizziness, and his entire body’s blood seemed to boil and flow backward!
Soon, the roar completely faded!
"Lin Kongxian, I will seek revenge for this grudge!"
After Clint’s roar subsided, he grabbed Clare by his side, quickly rushing into a nearby passage!
Inside the passage, there was a protruding stone, which served as a switch; with Clint’s slap, a stone door descended, sealably blocking the passage!
Seeing this, Lin Kongxian’s face filled with dissatisfaction!
Lin Fan’s expression was just as complicated, for today he had truly witnessed Clint’s terrifying aspect, and Clint had also seized one of the scrolls. If he truly comprehended the scroll’s secrets, there was a great possibility he might enhance his strength further, becoming even more fearsome!
Lin Fan said, "It seems there’s a tough battle ahead!"
Lin Kongxian asked, "Are you all right? Did you find anything?"
Lin Fan replied, "This trip to the ancient tomb was rather complex, I’ll tell you in detail once we return. By the way, old man, how do you know we came to Yunnan?"
Lin Kongxian said, "I received news the blood race people came to Huaxia, reaching the Yunnan Miao Race, and I learned you were also here, so I rushed over!"
"I see!" Lin Fan nodded thoughtfully!
"The passage is blocked now, so we have to climb up the rope; staying here is not advisable, let’s ascend first!" Lin Kongxian instructed.
"Alright! Everyone, prepare to leave the ancient tomb!" Lin Fan said to the group!
Nie Lei and others nodded in agreement, showing their understanding!
...
At this time, halfway up the Miao Race mountain!
"Boom boom boom!"
A series of muffled sounds suddenly came from underground, as if something below was striking the ground!
Not long after, following a loud bang, a hole was punched out in the ground, and a hand emerged!
The fingers were long and slender, with sharp nails akin to daggers, and the nails were black, stained with traces of fresh blood!
If anyone were passing by and witnessing this, they would surely think they’ve encountered a ghost!
Soon, after several loud noises, a small patch of ground suddenly collapsed, and two figures emerged from below!
These two were none other than Clint and the heavily injured Clare, who had passed through the passage to arrive here, the tunnel’s exit!
Clint helped Clare up and then dropped him on the ground, his expression icy, without a trace of concern!
Clare, clutching his bleeding wrist, said through gritted teeth, "When I return to the blood race, I will make Lin Kongxian and the Tyrant pay. They won’t have a grave to die!"
Clint remained silent, contemplating for a moment before speaking, "Clare, I have a way to help you get revenge!"
"What method? Just say it, anything you want, I can give it to you!" Clare said urgently, driven by his overwhelming hatred!
Listening to Clare’s words, a cold gleam flashed quickly in Clint’s eyes!
Clint said, "Only by letting me lead your tribe, becoming the king of all strong blood-race members, can I help you avenge!"
"What do you mean? You’re trying to take my position?" Clare said in surprise!
"Now I possess the secret to becoming the strongest. I will become the most powerful person in blood race history, surpassing our blood race’s founding royal Cain. You think I’m incapable of leading the entire blood race?" Clint sneered.
"Clint, the scroll was obtained through our combined efforts, and we agreed beforehand to share it together. Are you going back on your word?" Clare said, his face grave.
"It’s not betrayal, and I never promised to share with you, only agreed to bring you along," Clint replied with a cold smile.
Upon hearing this, Clare’s face turned increasingly grim; he knew he’d been fooled, losing everything this trip to Huaxia, his brother dead, severely injured himself, and the secret to becoming the strongest taken by Clint, truly a case of losing everything to benefit Clint!
Suddenly, Clint coldly laughed, "Clare, you asked me what I want that you can give, there is indeed something I would like from you!"
"What do you want?" Clare asked, utterly bewildered.
"Your life!"
Clint spoke sharply, his voice icy, each word laden with killing intent!
