Chapter 177
The old man quickly scrambled up from the ground, his eyes full of astonishment, he immediately tried to flee to the side, attempting to hide back in the mist.
"Stop him! His strength isn’t that great!" Adam’s figure flashed as he blocked the old man’s path, shouting to Alice’s group.
The trio was stunned for a moment, but quickly snapped to their senses.
This ordinary-looking man in front of them was the one who had just injured the old man.
They were all experienced veterans, even in their panic, they recognized an opportunity when they saw one.
They scattered and surrounded the old man, cutting off his escape.
Hiss... hiss... hiss!
The old man bared his fangs, letting out a terrifying hissing sound.
Seemingly knowing he couldn’t escape, his wicked eyes filled with absolute madness.
Azure-black light erupted from his body, and countless wisps of mist began gathering toward him, looking almost tangible.
His aura began climbing steadily.
Fwoosh!
A blast of divine fire struck the old man, another wound opened on his body, and the azure-black light surrounding him dissipated slightly.
"Hey, what are you standing there for? Attack! Are you just going to watch him get stronger?!" Adam glared at the dazed trio and snapped in annoyance.
This isn’t a turn-based game!
"Right!"
Alice and the others reacted, hurling their most powerful divine abilities at the old man.
"Ah!" The old man suddenly roared, the speed at which he absorbed the mist increased significantly.
Boom!
His body expanded like an inflated balloon, he had finished absorbing the mist, his strength skyrocketed to its peak.
His figure flashed, instantly appearing right behind Adam, claws swiping viciously toward his back.
The corners of Adam’s mouth curled up.
You don’t pick the other three, yet you single me out. Is it because I slashed you earlier, so you’re holding a grudge?
But so what if your strength has peaked?
A startled cry of a Roc erupted from within Adam’s body, his figure vanished from its original spot, reappearing directly behind the old man instead.
"Sword Opening the Heavenly Gate!"
Another heaven-shaking streak of sword qi slashed ruthlessly at the back of the old man’s head.
Bang!
The old man was blasted flying once again.
Alice and the other two looked at Adam, instant shock flashing in their eyes, this person’s strength is incredibly high.
The old man crawled up from the ground, his aged eyes stared at Adam with extreme vigilance.
Then his figure vanished, reappearing behind the military general, his shriveled fingers rapidly reached for the general’s neck.
If he can’t beat that man, does that mean he can’t beat you?
But just as he was about to touch the neck, a streak of sword qi slashed toward his hand.
Damn it! The old man abandoned the attack and quickly retreated.
"Stay focused. If that old man grabs your neck, you will die in a second!" Adam reminded them.
Who knew if this old man still had hidden trump cards? He didn’t want to lose their combat power so quickly.
The general also broke out in a cold sweat, this old man’s speed was too fast, he hated dealing with such fast opponents the most.
"Senior, we will surround him! Please unleash a grand divine ability to kill him!" Alice had already assumed Adam was some old monster with a secret technique to retain his youth, she knew only Adam had the ability to kill this creature.
The three of them combined couldn’t do it.
"Alright!" Adam nodded, that was exactly what he was thinking.
The four surrounded the old man again. Alice and the other two exchanged a glance, having fought their way here, they had developed tacit understanding.
The general and the other expert unleashed divine abilities at the old man.
The old man let out a disdainful snort, the corners of his mouth twitched, but after the skin on his face moved, it didn’t return to its original position, exposing a large patch of bloody flesh and gums, disgusting and terrifying.
This didn’t hinder his movements, with a wave of his arms, azure-black light shot out, neutralizing their divine abilities, because of this, his body remained rooted in place.
"Soft Croon, Graceful Dance!" Alice stroked the empty air with her pale hands, and a zither materialized before her, floating in the void, waves of zither music instantly rang out.
Adam looked at Alice with some surprise. Is she a descendant of the Bloom family? He knew this move too.
It was Irene’s Heavenly Heart Zenith Sound technique.
Her crowd-control ability was exceptionally effective, the old man’s body was instantly struck by the zither music, and bewilderment immediately appeared in his eyes.
"Senior! Quickly! I can’t control him for long!" Alice shouted.
"Sword Opening the Heavenly Gate!" Adam used the same move, but this time augmented it with the Dao Law of Strength, he didn’t want to use Demon Race divine abilities or his more unique skills, that would make him memorable and potentially lead to investigation.
As for the Thirteen Heaven-Shattering Swords, although it wasn’t incredibly widespread, the Sword Dao was a massive discipline, countless powerful techniques existed, so its exclusivity wasn’t strict.
One could still obtain this manual by paying a hefty price, he wasn’t worried about his identity being exposed.
The Dao Law of Strength went without saying. It was the strongest Dao Law, where the Great Dao returned to simplicity.
Unless someone experienced it personally, almost no one could detect it, unless these three also possessed the Double-Pupil Holy Body.
Just as the sword was about to cleave the old man, he finally broke free from the control, he desperately twisted his body aside, dodging the fatal blow, leaving only an arm dropping to the ground.
"Damn it, damn it! You all deserve to die! You forced me!" The old man grew even angrier, his entire skin detached and slipped off the flesh beneath.
It turned out his main body was just a loose layer of human skin.
The skinless flesh collapsed to the ground, judging by the build and facial structure, it was astonishingly Aaron Solar!
