Chapter 1153 A Forbidden Spell!
Chapter 1153 A Forbidden Spell!
The black-clad individuals were completely composed, and their auras were stable. They weren\'t making any haste moves since they knew the middle-aged man was on his last leg, and a cornered rat was extremely dangerous in this kind of state.
"You Sutton Bastards, even as a ghost, I\'ll never leave you alone!" The middle-aged man roared with hatred as he tightly gripped the bloody whip in his hand.
But the black-clad individuals didn\'t retort to his curse; only their completely crimson eyes remained impassive and emotionless.
However, since their focus was entirely on the middle-aged man, they didn\'t notice a stealthy figure suddenly appearing a hundred meters away from their position on a tall tree. Even if they could, they would\'ve been able to see through that person\'s stealth.
However, the middle-aged man\'s probe wasn\'t answered as the assassin didn\'t even react, and suddenly, their auras started to churn before their surroundings started to turn dark as a sinister silence descended, where only the erratic breaking of the middle-aged man could be heard.
Ace couldn\'t help but watch those nine with deep interest since he didn\'t expect to stumble into an assassination scene right after leaving the forbidden region. Not to mention that the middle-aged man was a 1-Star Ascension Solider while the eight assassins were also in the same realm.
Furthermore, Ace instantly sensed the potent malicious aura on the middle-aged man and knew that he was being poisoned, and that poison seemed to have the aura of a completely new law he hadn\'t seen before: the law of poison!
\'Whoever those assassins are, they are extremely resourceful, and that man seemed to be quite important since they are even using ascension-grade poison with law imbued in it. I guess my decision not to infiltrate the Artifact Inferno Guardian Sect recklessly was spot on.
\'As for these guys, they can be my source of information and targets for \'them.\' After all, they had been waiting for a long time to test their new techniques…\'
Ace\'s lips curled up in a cold smile before he sent a voice transmission, and the next moment, a few figures appeared on the ground!
Seeing the black-clad individuals\' lack of response, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth, sighed in resignation, and spoke in a defeated tone: "Since I\'m going to die anyway, could you please tell me this much if it was really the Sutton Clan of Southern Guardian Sect City that hired your Fiend Assassin Guild to assassinate me?"
However, the middle-aged man\'s probe wasn\'t answered as the assassin didn\'t even react, and suddenly, their auras started to churn before their surroundings started to turn dark as a sinister silence descended, where only the erratic breaking of the middle-aged man could be heard.
"What a cruel bunch, just as rumor described you. But don\'t think I\'ll go down this easily just because your sneak attack and poison were able to work! I\'ll take down at least one of you fiend bastards with me!" He roared as brown flames suddenly ignited from his body, enveloping his entire body and illumining the eerie dark surroundings.
The temperature started to rose as the middle-aged man was about to take his last stand, he even ignited his life spirit fire which was a taboo for a fire type cultivator. But he was determined to take them down with him. After all, he knew he was going to die from this mysterious poison directly infiltrating his soul, and he could sense it was eating away his cultivation.
However, despite the light from this fire, the assassins were nowhere to be seen, but he didn\'t stop. His whip suddenly came alive, and brown flames covered its surface.
"Slithering Flame Upheaval!" He cast a spell and whipped towards his left, leaving behind an inferno trail.
"Bang…"
The whip suddenly clashed with something metallic; it was the assassin who was about to close in, and the moment he blocked the whip from piercing into his head and blocked it with his dagger, he was sent flying back. However, the whip didn\'t stop. It maneuvered in the air and circled around his back like a snake. It clashed with another hidden assassin and forced the latter to block it like the previous assassin.
The middle-aged man was blocking eight assassins with his whip technique at a ridiculous speed. But the assassins seemed relentless and kept coming back, masterfully blocking the whip every time it discovered their weak spots.
It was quite clear that they knew the middle-aged man was burning his life and wouldn\'t last long; they just needed to make sure not to give him any breath or leave any opening for him to exploit.
Their attacks were extremely coordinated, and they also seemed to use some attacking formations. Furthermore, with each clash, their surroundings exploded, and the place where the middle-aged man was standing was now a huge crater filled with a charred surface and brown flames.
"Bastards! Just why won\'t you die! Since you\'re waiting for my life to run out, I\'ll grant your wish right now!" He roared as his eyes flashed with madness, and the flames surrendering him suddenly intensified and almost reached the sky!
"Forbidden Spell, Flame of Destruction!"
Suddenly, the raging flames around the middle-aged man retracted back into his body, creating a tiny point in front of his chest. However, the temperature started to rise as his surroundings seemed to have lost color, and even the surrounding space started to tremble.
The middle-aged man, whose face was now filled with a dark web, flashed a weak yet hatred-filled smile as his cracks started to appear all over his face and body before his hands started to decompose into fine ashes.
"I\'ll pray for everyone\'s retribution in…" His final words were cut off because his face completely decomposed at this moment, leaving behind only the tiny point of flame, which suddenly started to compress even more and then tumbled violently.
The assassins who sensed death incoming were already fleeing at full speed, but alas, the forbidden spell was named \'forbidden\' for a reason.
Even an uninvited party sensed a sudden crisis gripping their hearts, and they also stopped in their tracks.
\'Crack…\'
At this moment, the focal point of flame suddenly cracked, faintly destroying the surrounding space before it instantly started to expand, bringing forth endless destruction. "Booooommmmmmm…!"
