This was a withered old man exuding a terrifying aura, with disgusting festering sores on his face. His body radiated an astonishing Venerable presence, and around him, light was continuously devoured, as if forming an invisible black hole that absorbed everything in the vicinity.
Boom! He stood there, blood energy swirling around him, enveloping many top experts present, as if facing a pitch-black sun, creating a suffocating feeling that left everyone breathless.
"Who are you?"
Everyone present was horrified, feeling a chill run down their spines at that moment.
These were all top experts from nearby forces, with strong auras, exceptional strength, and lethal, seasoned tactics, considered to be veteran experts. Yet now, this person had appeared silently, and not a single one of them noticed until he spoke, causing them to instantly feel a chill.
This was simply too ghostly.
Especially the aura emanating from him, which enveloped every expert present, causing every one of them to feel cold to their bones, their souls trembling as if facing some vile and evil creature.
"Who are you, esteemed one?"
The ancestor of the Jiang family said solemnly. The aura from this person's body exuded a dense poison, alarmed him. When did such a master appear near the Wind and Snow Domain?
Moreover, he had appeared near them without any prior notice; if the other party had secretly attacked them before, they would probably be in danger.
"Hmph, you talk too much."
The withered old man sneered, suddenly raising his hand. A toxic, pitch-black palm surged toward the ancestor of the Jiang family, carrying a chilling aura that corroded the void. With incredible speed, it reached the ancestor of the Jiang family in an instant, too fast for the many half-step Venerable experts present to catch with their naked eyes.
"Not good!"
The ancestor of the Jiang family felt a great shock, his skin instantly covered in goosebumps, and the hair all over his body stood on end as a strong sense of danger surged within him.
He couldn't hesitate; the Saint Yuan of his half-step Martial Venerable realm roared to life, forming a protective Saint Yuan shield around his body. At the same time, a black crystal appeared in his hand, which suddenly unleashed a barrier force, enveloping the surrounding void.
"Predecessor, please calm down, I mean no offense..." At the same time, he shouted in panic, launching a punch to try and block the attack from the withered old man.
"Heh, still dare to resist."
The withered old man scoffed, his claws descending as if in a realm without any barriers within the Jiang family's barrier, quickly dropping down. With a pop, the barrier force shattered like a soap bubble.
With a crunch, the pitch-black palm directly shattered the protective Saint Yuan in front of the Jiang family ancestor, colliding with his punch. With a loud crash, the sound of bone breaking was distinctly heard as the ancestor of the Jiang family’s right arm twisted and exploded instantly, while the withered old man’s pitch-black palm grasped his head like an eagle’s claw.
A sinister, tentacle-like aura wrapped around the ancestor of the Jiang family.
"Predecessor, spare my life."
The ancestor of the Jiang family cried out in terror.
"Spare you?
Speak, what exactly happened to the Qingxue family? I heard that the ancestor Qingxue Gu Hua recently fell; is that true?"
The withered old man grinned ferociously, holding the ancestor of the Jiang family as if he were holding a small chicken. The area where his five fingers gripped started to corrode the ancestor’s skin, dripping like burning candle wax.
A Venerable, this was undoubtedly a master at the Venerable realm.
Many onlookers felt their scalps go numb at the sight, utterly terrified.
Where did this Venerable master come from?
Hadn’t the ancestors of the Qingxue and Zhuge families already fallen?
Boom! The many masters that had been hidden in the void frantically retreated, trying to escape from here.
Heavens! Where did this Venerable master come from? Each one of them felt their scalps tingle, not daring to remain any longer.
