It was only then that Jared realized the direction the two samurai had taken was indeed toward Bloodbane Palace.
Seeing this, was somewhat taken aback. Why on earth did the two samurai suddenly decide to head to Bloodbane Palace?
Just then, a disheveled figure suddenly burst out from the clouds ahead. The figure was clad in crimson attire, a sword clutched in hand, continuously seeping blood.
It was indeed Nymeria. Her hair was disheveled, with traces of blood at the corner of mouth, clearly indicating that had been through a fierce battle. At that moment, was being pursued by several streaks of black light.
“Nymeria!” Jared‘s pupils contracted, and with a swift raise of his hand, unleashed a slash of azure sword energy.
The sword energy tore through the air like a whip, striking precisely at the wrist of a cultivator dressed in black. The cultivator let out a wretched cry, his bone whip shattering inch by inch in his hand.
“Mr… Mr. Chance?” Suddenly, Nymeria whipped head around.
The moment saw Jared, eyes sparkled with an ecstatic light.
But just as quickly, it was overshadowed by despair. “Hurry! Bloodbane Palace… My father…”
Before could finish speaking, three more cultivators dressed in black approached, their eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty red light, ready to strike with lethal moves.
With a cold snort, Jared swiftly swung his Dragonslayer Sword, unleashing a flurry of golden sword energy. In a flash, the three men in black were cut down.
“Let’s talk while we head there!” Jared suddenly grabbed Nymeria. “What on earth happened?”
Nymeria was panting heavily, pointing toward the distant area shrouded in a crimson mist. Her voice was trembling. “Radmus… He has been controlled by the blood corpses, leading an attack on Bloodbane Palace! In order to send me to find you, my father has already burned his blood essence…”
Choking back sobs, watched as the Blood Cry Sword pulsed with increasing intensity.
“They’re after the Bloodbane Crystal,” cried, “The palace’s defense formation has been breached!”
A sense of heaviness settled in Jared’s heart.
Blood corpses?
Jared recalled the two coffins. It appeared that Radmus had opened them both
“Let’s go…” Understanding the urgency of the situation, Jared immediately made his way to Bloodbane Palace.
***
At Bloodbane Palace, at that moment, all the defense formations of Bloodbane Palace had been shattered.
Throughout the entire palace, countless fragments of light were falling from the sky. The air was thick with blood, and cries of agony echoed from every direction.
The entire Bloodbane Palace had truly turned into a chaotic inferno.
Radmus hovered in mid-air, his eyes brimming with disdain and arrogance.
In the midst of it all, everyone in Bloodbane Palace wore expressions of utter despair.
As the leader of Bloodbane Palace, Dincelius was stunned as gazed at Radmus in the void. The bodies of countless formidable experts from Bloodbane Palace lay beside him. Meanwhile, Dincelius had lost both his arms and was severely injured.
At this point, Bloodbane Palace was no longer a match for Heavenfall Pavilion. Even if Radmus were to fight alone, Bloodbane Palace would still be outmatched.
Despite Dincelius burning his blood essence to reach the Wandering Immortal Realm Level Eight, still paled in comparison when standing before Radmus.
At that moment, Radmus looked down at Bloodbane Palace, his voice cold and stem. “Hand over the Bloodbane Crystal, and i might spare your life!”
At this point, Dincelius finally understood why Radmus wanted the Bloodbane Crystal. That was because the Bloodbane Crystal could replace the heart, and it could bring the blood corpses back to life.
The current Radmus was under the control of the blood corpses. The first thing that came to his mind was to seize the Bloodbane Crystal.
“The Bloodbane Crystal is the very foundation of my Bloodbane Palace. If I give you the Bloodbane Crystal, then Bloodbane Palace will cease to exist completely!”
Even though Dincelius had lost both his arms, his face still bore an icy, lethal intent, showing not the slightest hint of fear.
He could die, but would never surrender the Bloodbane Crystal. If were to die, it didn’t mean Bloodbane Palace couldn’t elect a new leader
However, once the Bloodbane Crystal was given away, the very foundation of Bloodbane Palace would be lost, and the palace would disintegrate.
“If you don’t hand over the Bloodbane Crystal, Bloodbane Palace will vanish just the same!” Radmus spoke.
“I haven’t lost yet…”
After Dincelius finished speaking, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood essence. In the void, an ancient token began to materialize, radiating a soft glow.
Under the radiance, the ground began to tremble, and then slowly, cracks started to form.
