CHAPTER 1071: CHAPTER 1061: SUDDEN UPHEAVAL

Seemingly a casual finger, yet where it passes, space ripples.

The Seven Killings Demon Lord uses the Blood Blade in his hand as a guide. The blood cloud it transforms into, though layered and vast, reaches a terrifying momentum.

But under this pointed finger from Chen Hai, the blood cloud seems utterly fragile.

Piece by piece, the blood cloud vanishes and is long gone, with the Seven Killings Demon Lord completely merged into the blood cloud, though his shadow is still unseen, the blood blade he used to evoke this blood cloud can no longer be hidden, thoroughly revealing his whereabouts.

Then, a ’crack’ is heard.

Without any buffering time, when the blood blade is exposed to Chen Hai’s sight, the finger he pointed naturally falls on the blood blade.

The blood blade, which was flitting rapidly within the blood cloud, in a state of extreme motion, immediately transformed to extreme stillness and paused in the void.

Then, like a diamond drill hitting porcelain, the whole blood blade, the moment it was filled with cracks, exploded, turning into countless blood-colored fragments shooting in all directions.

The very foundation of the blood cloud seems to rest upon this blood blade.

The blood cloud, already just a step away from engulfing Chen Hai, due to the blood blade’s fragmentation, in less than a split second, has already dissipated into nothingness.

"Ah..." a scream of misery.

The Seven Killings Demon Lord, who has been hiding in the blood cloud, without the cloud’s concealment, his figure naturally comes into clear view.

After the blood blade fragmented, the blood-colored fragments shooting in all directions did not land on Chen Hai.

Whether it was misfortune for the Seven Killings Demon Lord, or he never anticipated this to happen, unable to make any reaction in time, his front and back and even his head were pierced by more than a dozen of those broken blood-colored blade fragments.

Though it’s unclear what material this blood blade was forged from, it’s undoubtedly a vicious weapon.

As the owner of it, the Seven Killings Demon Lord, with over a dozen blood-colored fragments piercing his body, no blood oozed from the wounds. Yet, the originally handsome face turned haggard and skeletal in just an instant, looking like a dried corpse.

Merely being wounded by the fragments of the shattered blood blade results in such horrific injuries. If the unbroken blade had struck the body, one can imagine how terrifying the consequences would have been.

"The enemy is fierce, do not confront directly, flee, quickly..."

The massive trauma from the blood-colored fragments entering his body immediately sobered the previously bewildered Seven Killings Demon Lord.

With cries of agony, he flees backward at a speed far surpassing his initial assault towards Chen Hai.

Though nicknamed Demon Lord, this guy still possesses some sense of duty.

Frightened by Chen Hai’s terrifying power and already confirming he is no match, while fleeing swiftly, he still remembers to inform his companions who joined him in chasing after Tie Feng.

The reason they allowed Seven Killings Demon Lord to take the lead was nothing other than his strength being greater than the others.

Yet now, if even he cannot withstand a move from Chen Hai, for the others confronting Chen Hai, it’s tantamount to serving themselves up, and the outcome would be utterly tragic.

When the Seven Killings Demon Lord made his move, his companions naturally remained vigilant and ready to act.

Among them, two were closely following him, charging towards Chen Hai; they were already halfway there.

"Boom boom boom boom..." Just as their attacks were launched, the Seven Killings Demon Lord, who had rushed towards Chen Hai before them, was already wounded all over and fled.

Such a dramatic twist came rather suddenly, too fast for them to react.

The attacks they had already released were difficult to retract; the two didn’t bother worrying where their attacks might land, turned around, and bolted.

After all, they were self-aware of their own strength.

Not to mention against Chen Hai, but even against the Seven Killings Demon Lord, only by joining forces could they barely hold their own.

But in front of Chen Hai, the Seven Killings Demon Lord couldn’t even endure a single move from him; given this brutal reality, would they not hurry to escape, staying here means awaiting death?

With everyone having fled, naturally their attacks landed on the ground made of amassed White Bones.

Continuous explosions, countless bone fragments flying everywhere.

Compared to the Seven Killings Demon Lord or Chen Hai, their strength, although negligible, nonetheless, after all, they are Quasi-Saints.

The combined force of their attacks, landing on this White Bone Plain, shattered many bones and created hideous cracks on the ground.

In the face of this scene, panicked beyond measure, the two who already started fleeing naturally couldn’t tend to it.

Within these few brief moments, the first to flee, The Seven Killings Demon Lord, has already become just a faint figure in the distance, followed closely by others who have also managed to escape a good distance.

Only these two, following closely behind the Seven Killings Demon Lord to attack Chen Hai, were somewhat timely in their reactions but fell behind their peers significantly.

Whether Chen Hai, who caused heavy damage to the strongest Seven Killings Demon Lord among them, would target the two of them, they didn’t know.

But the two are somewhat guilty, after all, apart from the Seven Killings Demon Lord, only the two of them truly attacked Chen Hai.

If Chen Hai, who could wound the Seven Killings Demon Lord with one move, truly pursued them, they certainly wouldn’t escape.

Not daring to look back, or even knowing if Chen Hai would chase after them, they now have no other thoughts but to surpass each other in fleeing.

This way, even if Chen Hai really did act against them, there’d be that last comrade behind them to stall, allowing more time for their successful escape.

The two didn’t even notice after their attack ruptured the ground, the ’boom boom boom boom’ roars never ceased.

Chen Hai, who injured the Seven Killings Demon Lord severely with just one finger causing him to flee in terror, stood solemnly there on the spot.

The two who prepared to attack him but ended up failing, erupting their attacks into the void, he didn’t even cast a glance; his attention seemed entirely captivated by the White Bone Plain beneath his feet.

Not just him, even Lu Yingtian, Ancestor Kugu, and others, who had retreated to one side, also sensed unusual movements from the White Bone ground below, which caught their attention.

"Above heaven and earth, I am supreme!"

"Who is it? Disturbing the peace of this place, awakening me from my slumber..."

A grand and domineering voice, like Heavenly Thunder reverberating, suddenly erupted from beneath the ground, reaching everyone’s ears.
