Chronicles Of The Shura Clan

Cloud Mist Poisonous Valley

At this moment, Bloodbath and the four hall masters were on high alert because they knew that they were being watched.

Furthermore, even though they knew that they were being watched, they had no idea where the perpetrator was. The poisonous fog was so dense and thick that they couldn't even see past two meters ahead of them.

To make matters worse, even their spiritual senses were being blocked and suppressed by the isolation ability of the poisonous grey mist.

They were completely blind. For the first time, they felt like they were the ones being hunted instead of the other way around.

Moreover, although they didn't know how, they were pretty sure that Ling Chen was somehow able to see past through the poisonous grey mist, or at least his range of vision was longer than them which was very dangerous for them.

At this time, all of their weapons were unsheathed. They were like five demonic beasts ready to pounce at any incoming sign of danger.

However, despite their high alertness and vigilance, they didn't notice and sense the numerous dark tree roots that silently came out from the ground.

Each one of them was at least seven feet long. They were like poisonous vines. They were moving in zig-zag like poisonous snakes stalking their prey.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

" Stop!" Yelled out Bloodbath as the four hall masters suddenly came to an abrupt stop.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

"Something is coming toward us from the ground." Bloodbath added.

" It's probably those damn snakes again." answered one of the four hall masters with an annoyed look on his face.

From the last two hours, they have encountered and fend off the attack of many poisonous snakes that lived within the Cloud Mist Poisonous Valley.

As the native of the Cloud Mist Poisonous Valley, these snakes were extremely poisonous and deadly. Even peak warriors like them didn't dare to let them bite them.

Nonetheless, despite how nimble those snakes were, they easily took care of them.

"Nope, these things aren't snakes. I can't feel any life force from them." Answered Bloodbath with a puzzled expression on his face.

As the strongest, Bloodbath's spiritual sense range was a bit further than the four hall masters despite the isolation effect of the poisonous grey mist.

As such, he was able to notice the things moving on the ground before they did.

As the numerous dark tree roots were getting closer and closer, the four hall masters were able to sense them as well with their spiritual sense and they couldn't feel any life force coming from them just like the supreme hall master had stated.

Swoosh!

Without saying anything, bloodbath suddenly flew in the sky. He didn't fly too high, just three to five feet above the ground.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Like four monkeys, the four hall masters followed the example of Bloodbath as they flew three to five feet above the ground as well.

At this moment, their eyes were concentrated on the direction where the dark tree roots were coming.

Fifteen meters.....fourteen meters.....thirteen meters..... Twelve meters...

At this moment, whether it was Bloodbath or the four hall masters, they all had a solemn expression on their faces. The atmosphere around them was tense.

Till now, they still had no idea about the things that were moving toward them. They only knew that it wasn't a living organism as they couldn't sense any life force from them, and yet they were able to move by themselves.

Furthermore, they also didn't know whether or not Ling Chen was behind that weird phenomenon.

Eleven meters.....ten meters.....nine meters...eight meters....

When the dark tree roots arrived about seven meters away from Bloodbath and his group, they suddenly stopped which baffled them.

Soon, there was absolute stillness. No air stirred the grass or leaves. No water dripped or flowed. Not a sound could be heard either close at hand or in the far distance.

The silence hung in the air like the suspended moment before a falling glass shattered on the ground.

Meanwhile, Bloodbath and the four hall masters didn't even dare to blink as their eyes were wide open and glued toward the direction of the dark tree roots. This kinda silence gave them a chill. They felt like prey even though they couldn't see any predator.

To them, this type of absolute stillness was deadly as it seeped into their every pore, like a poison slowly paralyzing them. The silence clung to them like a poisonous cloud that could at any moment choke the life out of them. Even their own breath seemed to die as soon as it left their mouths.

However, within that moment of absolute stillness.

Swish!"

" Ah…"

Suddenly, A miserable shriek could be heard as a dark tree root more than fifteen meters long suddenly crawled out from within the poisonous grey mist and penetrated the chest of one of the four hall masters.

The long dark tree roots sneak attack was simply too fast that even when it got within the range of the hall master's spiritual sense that he didn't even have the chance to dodge.

"Fifth hall master…" Meanwhile, the remaining three hall masters beside the fifth hall master shouted out violently, and even Bloodbath was shocked as a strand of indescribable terror soared up into existence in their hearts.

The abrupt change happened too quickly, rendering the other three hall masters including Bloodbath to be shocked.

"Pooof…"

In a blink of an eye, before the hall master could even comprehend what just happened, this dark tree root drained his blood and life essence, like a snake, it drilled down into the ground and disappeared.

The dark tree roots seemed as though it contained a paralyzing drug. The moment it pierced through the hall master's chest, he lost all control of his bodily function. He couldn't even release his true Qi essence. He could only watch as the dark tree root sucked all of his blood and life essence dried before everything went black.

Silently and swiftly like a bolt of lightning, an initial-stage Martial Venerable with exceedingly high position had been killed, and his blood and life essence completely dried.

This happened right in front of them and they utterly didn't have the chance to react to the attack. How huge a humiliation was this? How unimaginable was this ability?

At the same time, Bloodbath and the remaining three hall masters were a hundred percent sure that Ling Chen was behind it all.

Bang! Bang!

After witnessing the fate of their comrades, the frightened three hall masters roared and slashed forward with their swords towards the direction of dark tree roots.

Wave after wave of sword energy flew out from their swords and landed on the ground creating a huge explosion.

At this moment they had only one thought, blasting the dark tree roots into pieces.

"What kind of demonic thing was that…"

Seeing the events that transpired right before their eyes, Bloodbath including the four hall masters felt a cold chill that reverberated throughout their bodies!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…"

Before they could even have time to soak in the event that just transpired right before them, another wave of dark tree roots rushed out from the within the poisonous grey mist and attacked them again.

" Not this time."

At this moment, Bloodbath finally took action. He unleashed a torrential aura with a deadly light that was capable of destroying everything. In a flash, he destroyed one tree root after another.

However, these roots were much more frightening than Bloodbath's imaginations. Even after they were cut in half, the other bottom half still continued to attack. Only complete destruction would be their true end.

While Bloodbath and the other three hall masters were busy cutting down on tree roots after another.

Suddenly, a ten feet dark tree root rushed out from the ground from behind and stabbed towards Bloodbath with lightning-like speed.

The tree root's speed was simply too fast. However, Bloodbath was even faster. He suddenly grabbed this tree root and crushed it in his hands.

Swoosh!

"Let's get the fuck out of here." Shouted Bloodbath after realized that no matter how many times he cut those damn dark tree roots, they still attacked them with their bottoms half which regrown the same size instantly. Not to mention there were a lot of them.

Upon hearing the words of their supreme hall master, the remaining three hall masters felt like death row prisoners that had just been pardoned as they quickly flew up high above the sky.

They couldn't wait to get hell out of this damn place. However, the moment they made it out of the damn poisonous fog, they were suddenly stunned by what they saw waiting for them high up in the sky.
