In the distance, the void lurked like a venomous snake waiting to strike, suddenly erupting with a chilling attack.
Boom!
From the void, wielding the Emei Dagger, the Shadow Demon Ghost Ancestor shot out like a cold poisonous serpent, instantly stabbing towards Qin Chen's back.
"Not good!"
Everyone was taken aback.
At this moment, the Shadow Demon Ghost Ancestor radiated an endless killing intent, resembling a shadow emerging from the darkness, exuding an aura that turned everyone's faces pale with terror. That dreadful aura, even from a distance, caused the Master of the Dark Prison and others to change expression dramatically.
"Peak Transcendence."
At that moment, everyone felt the aura emanating from the Shadow Demon Ghost Ancestor. The rich primordial essence had actually reached the peak of transcendence realm, and it was at the very limit of transcendence. This aura was so strong that it was subtly even above the Master of the Dark Prison and Yama Soul Ancestor.
"This person has hidden himself deeply."
All the masters of the forbidden zones in the Abandoned City turned pale. For a long time, the Master of the Dark Prison and Yama Soul Ancestor were known as the two top powerhouses of the Abandoned City, while figures like Kāluó Underworld Ancestor and Weary Dragon Ghost Ancestor were at a lower level beneath the two.
The Shadow Demon Ghost Ancestor, on the other hand, had never been very prominent in the Abandoned City. Though he was known as the deputy city lord, he had always remained inconspicuous. In everyone's mind, the Shadow Demon Ghost Ancestor's strength was at most comparable to that of the Master of the Graveyard of the God of Death.
But now, the strength the Shadow Demon Ghost Ancestor revealed was even more frightening than that of the Master of the Dark Prison and Yama Soul Ancestor, and it was significantly stronger than when he had fought the Blood Killer Ghost Ancestor in front of the Dead Sea Forbidden Area.
Did this person hide his true power back then?
Boom!
The pitch-black Emei Dagger shimmered with black light. The Shadow Demon Ghost Ancestor's attack was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, plunging Qin Chen into an endless crisis in an instant.
Puff!
At this moment, Qin Chen was engaged in combat against the three top underworld treasures. How could he possibly divert his attention elsewhere? In haste, he barely managed to block with a wave of the Water of the Dead Sea in front of him, but the Emei Dagger of the Shadow Demon Ghost Ancestor had already pierced into the Water of the Dead Sea.
Boom!
The moment it pierced the Water of the Dead Sea, the Shadow Demon Ghost Ancestor's body erupted with a stream of dark Water of the Dead Sea as well, surging and instantly repelling Qin Chen's Water of the Dead Sea.
"The Water of the Dead Sea, how come the Shadow Demon Ghost Ancestor has it too?"
Weary Dragon Ghost Ancestor and the others were astonished.
"It’s the Water of the Dead Sea from the Nefarious Sea Dragon Demon."
At this moment, the Void Demon Elder in the crowd seemed to recall something and couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
He remembered the scene when the Nefarious Sea Dragon Demon and the Old Ghost of Black Punishment entered the city lord's mansion and then went missing. If the Nefarious Sea Dragon Demon and the Old Ghost of Black Punishment truly fell in the city lord's mansion, then the Water of the Dead Sea within them could very well be in the possession of Kāluó Underworld Ancestor and the Shadow Demon Ghost Ancestor.
Moreover, Kāluó Underworld Ancestor and the Shadow Demon Ghost Ancestor had hidden their strength for so many years. The powerful beings who had died at their hands were definitely not limited to just the Nefarious Sea Dragon Demon and the Old Ghost of Black Punishment.
"Brother Underworld Lord, be careful! This person possesses more than one source of the Water of the Dead Sea."
Upon realizing this, the Void Demon Elder quickly shouted a warning.
But it was already too late.
