The night was almost fading away.
The despicable figure in front of me, with a lewd expression on his face, was none other than Rui Butong! He had somehow come back to life at this critical moment.
Night Slaying Rain glared at Rui Butong as if he were about to devour him.
Five hundred people had come here, and now only four ninth rank saint level fighters remained, including myself as the leader; along with Zhuge Changchang, Ye Mengse, and Night Slaying Rain, we were down to just eight!
Yet, the opposing side had not lost a single person!
And now, this guy in front of me had the audacity to bounce back to life right before my eyes.
At this moment, Night Slaying Rain was so furious he nearly wanted to die!
Rui Butong continued to jump around and shouted, "Night Slaying Rain, your father is right here, why aren't you calling me 'father'? You unfilial son! Call me father! Call me, call me…"
With a crunch, Night Slaying Rain bit down so hard that one of his teeth shattered!
This was simply intolerable!
But those words had actually come from his own mouth, and now that they were caught against him, he was left helpless.
Chu Yang burst into laughter, "Butong, congratulations on adopting a supreme third tier son! Hahaha... This is truly a cause for celebration!"
Night Slaying Rain roared and charged at Rui Butong, slamming his palm out. Rui Butong laughed loudly and did not evade, hitting back with a palm of his own.
The air crackled with intense heat!
With a loud bang, the two forces collided in mid-air; Rui Butong let out a muffled groan and was knocked back like a rolling ball, tumbling over ten or eight yards while spitting blood, yet he managed to raise his head on the ground: "Is that how you hit your father? You ungrateful child! You dare to be so disobedient, you dare to betray your teacher and destroy your ancestors…"
Night Slaying Rain roared in fury and charged again.
At that moment, Chu Yang and Dong Wushang exchanged glances and leapt into action simultaneously, the saint of swords and the saint of blades, uniting man and sword, man and blade!
Silently, they shot toward Night Slaying Rain!
In mid-air, a faint white shadow darted toward Night Slaying Rain at a speed that was completely invisible to the naked eye.
Just as Night Slaying Rain was about to strike, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if something terrifying was about to happen.
In the midst of chaos, he swiftly dodged, and a white shadow zipped past him. With a hiss, a cut appeared on his throat.
Night Slaying Rain was startled!
Who was that? How could someone move so fast?
Turning to look, he saw a wall of blade light and sword light, coming at him like a tidal wave!
Night Slaying Rain shouted and thrust his long sword fiercely.
With a clang, Chu Yang's sword sliced through Night Slaying Rain's sword, the remaining half was shattered by Dong Wushang's blade. But the residual force caused both of them to groan and stagger backward.
Night Slaying Rain stood firm, casually tossing his broken sword aside, and lunged at the two. In his heart, he was filled with hatred!
He must kill these young ones!
But at this moment, he suddenly felt a tingling sensation in his throat, an itch that quickly became unbearable and maddening!
It felt as if thousands of ants were crawling inside his bones.
Unable to resist, Night Slaying Rain scratched at it, but with that scratch came a ripping sound as he tore away a piece of flesh from his throat. Blood gushed out.
At this point, instead of relieving the itch, it intensified.
But Night Slaying Rain dared not scratch again; he realized he had probably been poisoned. If he continued, he might just tear his own throat apart.
But he was puzzled: When did he get poisoned?
What kind of poison could possibly affect a supreme being?
Just then, the white shadow flashed again, and Night Slaying Rain was furious. His palm shot up like a mountain, crashing down.
With a squeal, the white shadow darted out from the edge of his palm.
"What is that?!" Night Slaying Rain, enduring the unbearable itch, held back his impulse to scream, filled with rage and terror, shouted, "Show yourself!"
