Chapter 448 Ch 448: The Red Eye
The remaining two Celestial Sovereigns of Chaos saw that Ling Xiaolong had killed one of them in an instant. They were shocked, but at the same time, they immediately made the right choice and turned around to run.
Although they didn't know Ling Xiaolong, they were certain that this man was a real threat to their lives. If they leave too late, they might die here as well.
"Don't go! Stop right there!"
After a brief moment of shock, Wen Zexu quickly came back to his senses. When he saw the two Celestial Sovereigns running, he took the initiative to block them. Now that one of them was killed and his sister was safe, he disregarded his own safety and tangled with one of the Celestial Sovereigns.
This round, Wen Zexu gave up defense and only focused on attack. He exchanged injuries for injuries. His methods were suicidal but effective.
In a split second, the attacks and defense switched. The two black-robed Celestial Sovereigns cursed in their hearts. Looking at Wen Zexu who was like a sticky candy that was pestering them, they could not help but want to kill him more.
Seeing that Wen Zexu was focused on one of them for the time being, the other abandoned his companion and started running. He did not want Ling Xiaolong to take action.
"Ning Mao, you son of a b*tch. How dare you leave me alone? You're going to die a horrible death!"
When the black-clothed Celestial Sovereign who was being pestered by Wen Zexu turned his head and saw that his companion had already left him behind, he couldn't help but curse out loud.
But, he didn't curse for long when he saw Ling Xiaolong's figure disappear from where he stood. In an instant, he had arrived behind Ning Mao and struck out a simple-looking palm.
Under his attack, Ning Mao could not react. He was punched in the back and his heart exploded. At the same time, his soul was destroyed. He died just like that.
On the other side, the battle between Wen Zexu and the last Celestial Sovereign continued.
After seeing Ling Xiaolong kill the two Celestial Sovereigns, Wen Zexu was extremely excited. Even though his injuries were not light, he was still bursting with endless fighting spirit at this moment.
Ling Xiaolong no longer had any intention of attacking anymore, he just quietly watched from the side.
As for the last Sovereign Stage warrior, when he saw his two comrades being killed, he felt incomparable despair in his heart. He knew that as long as Ling Xiaolong was still there, even if he killed Wen Zexu, it would still be extremely difficult for him to escape death.
However, he did not give up. Instead, he put all of his energy into fighting Wen Zexu. It was unknown whether it was because of his will to live or because of his so-called dignity as a Celestial Sovereign that forced him to do so.
"He wants to take hostages."
Ling Xiaolong saw through the man's intention, but he simply smiled.
In the next dozens of minutes, Wen Zexu and the last Celestial Sovereign had already exchanged moves thousands of times.
Finally, the two of them both used domains. However, as a Celestial Awakening Realm warrior, Wen Zexu's domain was weaker.
However, Wen Zexu still displayed a battle that surpassed the realm of Celestial Awakening Realm warriors.
As the battle was prolonged, Ling Xiaolong flicked his finger, shattering the black-clothed man's domain. He helped because he could see Wen Zexu slowly falling to a disadvantage in the battle.
In fact, the reason Ling Xiaolong helped these two siblings is not because of pity or sympathy, it is because he sensed something on Wen Zexu's body that was related to that forbidden presence in the Eternal Flame City.
That is why, he chose to help Wen Zexu fight his enemies.
Without letting Wen Zexu realize it, he restricted the black-clothed man's movements for a few seconds secretly.
In Wen Zexu's eyes, it seemed as if the black-clothed man had some difficulty and froze for a few seconds. This gave him an opportunity to strike his sword.
His sword pierced through the last black-clothed man's chest, ending his life.
"???"
"He died that easily?"
As a Celestial Sovereign, even though Wen Zexu's sword managed to pierce through the black-clothed man's chest, he should not have died that easily. But the black-clothed man did die.
Wen Zexu was puzzled. But he did not delve too much into it.
He was unaware that the moment his sword touched the black-clothed man's body, the black-clothed man's soul was destroyed by Ling Xiaolong.
"Phuu!"
Wen Zexu sheathed his sword and looked at the corpse of the black-clothed man. He couldn't help but gasp for breath. It took him a long time to stabilize his condition.
On the other side, Wen Xuya saw from afar that the battle had finally ended. Her heart finally felt at ease, and she quickly flew over. As a Celestial Awakening Realm, her speed was obviously fast. She soon arrived and nervously supported her brother and said, "Brother, are you alright?"
"I'm fine!"
A smile appeared on Wen Zexu's face. He shook his head at his sister and then looked at Ling Xiaolong. He cupped his hands and bowed deeply. "Brother, I, Wen Zexu, am very grateful. Thanks for saving our lives."
After saying that, he bowed down. Wen Xuya, who was standing beside him, saw this. She then quickly lowered her head and bowed with her brother.
"It's nothing much. No need to bow your heads."
As Ling Xiaolong spoke, a drop of liquid shot out of his finger, landing on Wen Zexu's body. As soon as the drop of liquid touched his injured body, a cool breeze spread across his body like a spring breeze. Wen Zexu trembled slightly. After that, he felt extremely comfortable all over.
The injuries caused by the battle swiftly healed under the effect of the miraculous drop of liquid. A moment later, Wen Zexu opened his eyes, his eyes glowing brightly.
His Wen Family was a family that had been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years. Although there were Celestial Sovereigns that had been born for generations, the overall size of the family was still far from being comparable to those big sects. At least, they couldn't take out a treasure like the drop of liquid that was used on his body so casually.
"Brother, you saved my life and even gave me that healing treasure. This debt of gratitude is truly unrepayable."
Wen Zexu said with a bitter smile. But then, his smile froze as if thought of something. He then immediately took out an item and said, "I don't know what this item is, but it was discovered by the two of us when a few days ago. I will give it to you, brother. I hope you will not reject it!"
"Oh?"
Ling Xiaolong raised his eyebrows and laughed. "Alright. Then I will take it."
The reason he helped these two siblings was for this treasure. He did not expect Wen Zexu to take out it so easily.
As he took the treasure, he saw it was some kind of marble in the shape of an eye. It was entirely red.
Those three people previously tried to kill these two siblings because of some Red Eye. Now, it seems this was exactly that Red Eye.
"Where did you obtain it from?"
As Ling Xiaolong grasped the Red Eye, he sensed its vitality, as if it were alive. He also felt a connection between this Red Eye and the ominous presence in the city. He could tell that the threatening presence had detected him the moment he touched the Red Eye, yet for some inexplicable reason, it refrained from taking action.
The feeling of helplessness deepened as Ling Xiaolong continued to hold the Red Eye, becoming increasingly unpleasant. He now harbored even greater certainty that should the owner of that presence decide to act, he would perish without the ability to retaliate.
This sense of helplessness brought forth an exceedingly unpleasant experience.
As a Master of Chaos capable of even slaying Level 36 Masters of Chaos, Ling Xiaolong found himself astonished by this kind of discomfort and the overwhelming sensation of helplessness. He could not help but wonder who, in the entire chaos, possessed such formidable capabilities as to evoke such feelings within him.
As Ling Xiaolong observed the Red Eye, he soon found traces of Abyssal Energy being produced by the Red Eye.
Yes, the Abyssal Energy was not present already beforehand but was being produced slowly. The amount was so little that it was negligible, but without a doubt, this Red Eye was producing Abyssal Energy.
Doesn't it mean this Red Eye is related to Abyssals?
"We discovered this Red Eye on the corpse of an Abyssal, slain by a Master of Chaos in the wilderness. It was purely coincidental that we stumbled upon the Red Eye. However, when I laid my hands on it, something happened, drawing the attention of three individuals who pursued us."
Wen Zexu said with a smile.
