Adrian smiled faintly. "You want to compete with me? You’re not even in my league," he said coldly. "Since that’s the case, let’s face this together!" His anger surged, his killing intent boundless.Seeing this, the old man roared in fury and charged at them. Adrian’s expression turned icy, knowing the old man was determined to drag them all down with him. He aimed to exhaust them completely. Even if he had to risk his life fighting the Human Ghoul, he could still take the treasures from the three of them. Adrian saw through the old man’s plan, and the other two sensed the latter’s intentions as well.Adrian’s expression grew colder as he noticed the Human Ghoul baring its fangs, an evil aura radiating from it. Its massive palm came straight at him, aiming to crush him.Adrian dodged just in time, swiftly moving toward the old man. Realizing Adrian’s plan to stir up chaos, the old man sneered. “Don’t think you can escape so easily. If you want death, I’ll grant it to you." He raised
Seeing the Human Ghoul focus all its attacks on the old man while ignoring Adrian, who had fallen to the side, both Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird were stunned."Run!" Adrian's voice boomed, snapping them out of their shock.Without hesitation, the trio bolted forward at lightning speed, not daring to look back. They knew the tide of the battle could shift at any moment, and staying any longer would have disastrous consequences. There was no turning back now. They could only move forward. Adrian surged ahead, paying no mind to the fight between the old man and the Human Ghoul."Stop right there, you bastard!" the old man roared, his voice echoing through the cave, shaking the surrounding boulders.He hadn’t expected things to turn out like this. Luck had clearly shifted in Adrian’s favor, allowing him to escape. Now, the old man found himself trapped by the Human Ghoul, unable to pursue them. If he were seriously injured, how could he face Adrian and the others again?Enraged, t
The old man was furious, determined to annihilate Adrian. He knew his situation all too well. With the Human Ghoul blocking his way, his only option was to defeat it first.Rumble!The cave shook violently, the sheer force of the tremor terrifying.Boom!A chaotic surge of overwhelming power filled the air, appearing incredibly formidable.Thud, thud, thud!The Human Ghoul was knocked back, its enormous pupils glowing with strange black energy as waves of power erupted from its body, and Adrian watched the battle intently.With his rage building, the old man drew a blood-red sword, menacing and fearsome.‘Oh, that’s a fine weapon,’ Adrian thought as he touched a nearby stone, feeling a temptation to claim it for himself. If he could absorb the sword’s power, his strength would increase significantly. Not only that, but he could also absorb the old man's energy.Adrian’s gaze sharpened, but he knew better than to act impulsively. Charging recklessly into the fray could have dir
Boom!The two forces collided with terrifying power, creating a scene that was both frightening and astonishing.The old man’s eyes gleamed coldly. “Undead creature, it’s time for you to descend into hell!” An immense surge of energy erupted from his hand, striking the Human Ghoul.Crack!The Human Ghoul’s right arm was instantly severed. The old man’s power had clearly increased, subtly reaching the intermediate Divine Stage.Adrian, watching from the sidelines, frowned. In such a short time, the old man had become this powerful. If he had faced the old man directly, he’d likely be dead by now.However, with the Human Ghoul holding the old man at bay, Adrian knew the old man’s secret technique wouldn’t last long and that he had to act decisively. If he missed this chance, the old man might turn the tables on him.As Adrian contemplated his next move, the Human Ghoul bared its fangs and lunged at the old man, grabbing and wounding his arm. A wave of toxic energy surged over the
The sword’s soul-devouring effect caused the flames of the Human Ghoul's soul to flicker momentarily, visibly weakening it. Adrian realized this must be the soul-devouring power at work.The old man swung his sword again, aiming directly at the Human Ghoul’s head.Aaaaargh!A piercing scream erupted from the Human Ghoul, echoing through the air. The sound was filled with agony, a clear sign of the Soul Devouring Sword’s terrifying malice.Adrian now fully understood. His gaze sharpened as he looked at the sword, but he knew it wasn’t yet the right time to seize it.The Human Ghoul staggered backward, gasping for breath as its aura weakened. Then, suddenly, its eerie energy surged, signaling an imminent self-destruction.Seeing this, the old man roared, “Damn creature! How dare you!” He desperately activated the Soul Devouring Sword, which glowed with a bloody light, devouring his own blood in the process.Rumble!The old man's face grew pale as the sword consumed more of his po
At this moment, Adrian quietly waited while the old man looked around, feeling reassured.The old man was aware that Adrian had fled ahead with the other two, so he settled down to rest and recover his strength. Already weakened, he knew that if he didn’t restore himself soon, he might face grave danger.The old man valued his life immensely. The higher one’s strength, the more one treasured their existence. At his age, the fear of death only intensified.As the old man sat cross-legged, he laid the Soul Devouring Sword beside him. From a distance, Adrian stared at the sword intently. Its blood-red glow shimmered ominously.Faintly, a wave of evil power radiated from the sword, but to Adrian, it appeared as an extraordinary treasure. If he could obtain this sword, it would significantly enhance his strength.His top priority was to eliminate the old man. He knew the old man had become a target of his vengeance, and he absolutely could not let the old man live. The old man already
Boom!With a loud explosion, the space before them seemed to shatter, and Adrian's expression turned serious. A terrifying power trembled in his hands, surging wildly into the air. He faced the old man's soul power without a hint of fear. However, the soul power bizarrely entered Adrian's sea of consciousness, creating an astonishing spectacle.Boom!Adrian trembled as if everything before him was slipping out of control. This scene was both astonishing and terrifying. His expression revealed a chilling fury.“Break!” he roared, resisting once more.The surroundings vibrated violently, and everything shattered.Boom!The old man's soul power was forcefully dispelled, and Adrian's power scattered as well, allowing him to move freely again. Adrian's violent strength became uncontrollable as he unleashed it fiercely. Charging forward, he showed no mercy to the old man.The old man, filled with rage, hadn’t expected such ferocity from Adrian. Before he could react, Adrian sent him
Adrian understood that even the slightest carelessness could lead to his soul being consumed by the old man, sealing his fate in death.A terrifying force trembled within him. Despite his power, Adrian felt utterly helpless. In this dire moment, he could rely only on his wits. He remained motionless in his sea of consciousness, paralyzed by the old man’s overwhelming power.The old man's presence fluctuated wildly, accompanied by a chilling laughter that echoed ominously. “Let’s see how you handle this. Now you can taste my might,” he taunted.It was clear the old man was deliberately provoking Adrian, seeking to draw out his anger. Adrian’s expression darkened, realizing this old fool was truly courting death.Filled with rage, Adrian knew he couldn’t expose himself too easily. He had to think carefully about his next move. One misstep could lead to defeat at the hands of this old man.Adrian recognized the gravity of the situation. The old man was as terrifying as he seemed, and
