Chapter 96 - Lan Clan Cave Crisis Final!

Wei Bujia felt chilled to his spine by the aura of death, as it emitted the potent power of the Laws.

"What did you do?!" Wei Bujia roared and moved toward the man in black immediately.

He would not let him succeed in whatever the man in black intended to do.

Thwack!

However, before he could get close to the man in black, the cold sensation of a blade thrust through his back. He gazed down at his chest and saw the blade of the sword.

Wei Bujia was shocked, as this cave chamber was supposed to have only the two of them left alive.

Who could possibly have hidden from his senses and ambushed him like this?!

When he turned his head around and looked behind him to identify the attacker, he was horrified by what he saw.

The one who had stabbed him in the back was his junior disciple. No—it was his junior disciple's headless corpse.

"Jiangshi?"

The headless corpse was shrouded in a cold, black aura of death. It gripped the sword tightly, attempting to cut his body in half.

Wei Bujia's heart burned with a raging flame. This man had continued to anger him time and time again, and now he dared to desecrate the body of his junior!

His anger reached the point of turning his red anger flame into an orange blazing anger flame, the intensity of the heat was spiked up severalfold.

He smashed the corpse to the ground with his claw and pulled the sword from his chest. Then, he turned his gaze toward the man in black.

"Your tricks are useless — they only fuel my rage. I'll make sure your death is so agonizing, that you'll wish you were never born," Wei Bujia snarled.

Once again, something disrupted him. Just as Wei Bujia was about to strike, the sounds of movement echoed from several places within the cave chamber.

He swept his gaze around the chamber, only to see the corpses of all the Thunderclap Blade Sect's disciples, covered in a black death aura, rising from the ground with swords aimed at him.

"YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!" Wei Bujia shouted in fury and shot himself toward the man in black.

BOOM!

The cave ground beneath Wei Bujia's feet collapsed, and his flame-covered red body soared through the air like a burning meteor.

The man in black smirked, raising his long sword.

"Now, my turn," he said.

Then, he activated the skill combo—

Death Enhancement.

Death Aura.

Death Resonance.

…..

…..

In the blink of an eye, more than ten buff skills were activated simultaneously. The overlapping buff effect increased his and the Death Soldiers' strength severalfold.

Even with all these power-ups, he could only reach the absolute limit of the Tier 3 power level, as crossing into the realm of the Tier 4 power level was not an easy task.

However, handling a newly ascended Tier 4 like Wei Bujia should be enough.

The fight resumed.

One, surrounded by a black death aura, and the other, engulfed in orange burning flames, met in the middle of the cave chamber.

BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!

The surrounding air collapses and then explodes.

DOOM!!!!!

The entire cave chamber collapsed under the impact of the clash, rocks falling from above like rain, but it was no obstacle to their fight.

BOOM!

Long Sword met with the Lightning Sword causing an impact that turned the fallen rock into dust when it fell close to them.

BOOM!

The burning sharp claw attacks and knocks the man in black away.

BOOM!

Each blow from both of them caused the cave tunnel to break and split apart.

BOOM!!!!!!

The Death Soldiers surrounded Wei Bujia, swarming at him one after another, but he easily fended them off. However, this opened an opportunity for the man in black!

The Death Mana sword energy penetrated Wei Bujia's chest from a distance, stunning him.

Numerous Death Soldiers thrust their swords down from above, aiming to skewer him to the ground.

The Anger Fiend smashed its fists at the cave floor, shattering the entire chamber into a giant pit, destroying the battlefield and causing both of them to fall into the dark depths below — but even this couldn't stop their fight!

The man in black activated his flying skills, powerful Death Mana concentrated into the blade of the sword, soaring toward Wei Bujia and swinging his sword.

SHIIIIING!

Wei Bujia, as a Tier 4 Fiend, had a natural ability to fly, turned himself mid-air, and blocked the ambush from the man in black with his Lightning sword.

Snap!

The sword in Wei Bujia's hand could no longer withstand his newfound strength and snapped upon impact, allowing the man in black's sword to slice through his flesh and bone!

"AHHHHHHH, DIE!" Wei Bujia roared, using his sharp burning claw to strike at the man in black.

PAK!

The man in black's body fell into the dark pit and hit the floor below.

Crash!

Wei Bujia's horns glow and form a storm of fire and lightning around him, unleashing a torrential rain of destruction upon the ground below.

CRACKLE! BOOM! WHOOSH!

Flames roared and lightning snapped through the air, as destruction rain showered.

Wei Bujia, floating mid-air, looked down into the dark pit.

'He is not dead yet' Wei Bujia thought as he sensed the movement from below.

Inside his head, he was currently considering whether to fight or flee, as his life essence had now run dangerously low from the damage he had taken from the man in black.

He would die if he continued to fight and could not finish off this man before depleting all of his life essence.

Then he decided to flee, since the mission had already failed. He hadn't seen a single Lan Clan member except for this one, and the scroll artifact also had been lost in the chaos of the battle.

'You will die soon anyway. When the incarnation of the Lord of All Senses is unsealed, I'll let you live a little longer!'

With this thought, he turned his back and flew upward, intent on leaving this rocky mountain.

He reached the same place that used to be a cave chamber they had just fought. but was now just a rocky ruin. There is only a small amount of ground platform left to stand on.

He spotted the blue light barrier that blocked the exit. He flew to it at the extreme speed.

BOOM!!

He punched the barrier with all his strength, determined to break it quickly, but to his surprise, the barrier was so durable that it withstood his potent power.

Only a small crack appeared on the surface of the barrier.

Wei Bujia continues to spam his punches.

BOOM!

BOOM!

….

Crack!

The crack grew larger, on the verge of collapse. at that moment — Wei Bujia sensed numerous footsteps coming from the dark pit.

Tap…

Tap…

Tap…

Wei Bujia turned around and saw hundreds of Death Soldiers, with their master, the man in black, at the front, slowly walking up from the dark pit. The earth and stone seemed to magically move to form stairs and ground for him and his army to walk on.

Tap

Tap

Tap…

"Where do you think you're going? We are not done yet," the man in black smirked as he mocked Wei Bujia for trying to escape the fight.

Wei Bujia's face turned redder with anger; the man in black's words ignited a fiery rage within him, almost making him irrational.

Whirr… Clink! Clink!

Suddenly, the blue light barrier behind Wei Bujia rapidly repaired itself. He was too late to notice it, realizing that the barrier was under someone else's control. Otherwise, it wouldn't have acted at the right time like this.

The situation had changed, and fleeing was no longer an option for Wei Bujia.

"I let you live a little longer, but you're not grateful for it. Then I will turn you into ash!"

Crackle… Zzzzt… Whoooosh!

Wei Bujia floating high almost met the ceiling of the cave and he gathered massive Fire and Lightning power within both of his hands concentrating it to the highest potency, intending to use one powerful attack to kill the man in black and destroy the whole damn place in the process.

The man in black, seeing Wei Bujia's actions, knew he needed to act now.

He uttered in a low voice.

"Morthus"

He activated the Ultimate skill — the most powerful type of skill that could not be used easily since it required fulfilling several conditions before it became available for activation.

Despite the difficulty of activation, once it was activated, the Ultimate skill's power and effect were likely enough to turn the tide in a dire situation.

Suddenly, the aura of death from all sources within the cave leaves its source.

The Death Soldier falls to the ground, like a puppet whose strings have been cut.

The power of death left the man in black's body as well, leaving him much weaker. The death aura was concentrating in front of the man in black.

Wei Bujia's eyes narrowed as he was not sure what the man in black was doing, but he had experienced this man's trick numerous times. He was careful not to get caught in the trap.

The concentrated death aura finally materialized into a humanoid skeleton holding a dark scythe. It was covered with a powerful death aura that mortal realm beings couldn't measure.

The moment he saw this figure, the primal instinct deep within Wei Bujia's soul screamed!

But it was too late.

The skeleton raised its bone finger to point at him, and the cold voice whispered within Wei Bujia's head.

"DEATH."

This was the last thing he saw and heard before he lost consciousness forever.

As the last wisp of his Life Essence was forcibly pulled out of him.

Fall from above.

Thud!

Hunter looked down at the red demonic figure on the ground that was slowly turning into ash.

"Thank, Morthus," Hunter said, he thanked the skeleton for his help.

The skeleton scratched his head with an embarrassed expression.

"This has been an honor for me, Lord Ultimate, Besides having an opportunity to see the outside world. and this truly fantastic, the Death law in this world is so potent, beyond my comprehension…"

Morthus explained his experience after being summoned into the cultivation world. It was a totally new experience for him; none of his fellow Primordial Gods had ever been here.

"Time is up. I will send you guys back," Blue's voice echoed through the whole place.

Morthus's skull face showed a disappointed expression as he had hoped to stay here longer.

Seeing this, Hunter quickly comforted him.

"Chin up. I'll make sure the Master hears of your deeds — you'll get the reward you deserve. Got it?"

"Thank you! Lord Ultimate, Eh..? Why I sensed the Primordial God's presence nearby here?"

The Supreme Administrator System aka Blue's power, enveloped Hunter and Morthus, and a second later, they disappeared from the surface of this world, returning to where they came from.

The place turns silent.

After some time passed, the sound of multiple footsteps rang.

Tap

Tap

Tap

Twenty-eight figures emerged from one of the undamaged cave tunnels. When they saw the mess within the place, they couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.

At the exit, they saw a mountain of headless corpses, all of them wearing the uniforms of the Thunderclap Blade Sect disciples.

They carefully observed the scene but still couldn't find a clue as to what had just happened here.

What could turn this durable cave chamber into a rock ruin like this?

Why did the Thunderclap Blade Sect disciples end up like this?

"What exactly happened here…?" one of the Lan Clan members murmured.

This event would remain a mystery for a long time or forever.
