Chapter 1321: The Lurking Predator
“Are you asking me to wait for that girl in a black robe here?” Liu Ming looked at the entrance of Xi Xing Shop not far away while communicating with Mo Tian in his mind.
Mo Tian chuckled and didn’t answer, seeming to acquiesce in this.
Liu Ming’s eyes lit up. He inadvertently became curious, so he asked.
“Who is that girl in a black robe? You seem more interested in her than that black wood.”
“You have a keen mind, kid. It’s true. I’m interested in that little girl, but you will understand the reason after arriving at the Demon Abyss.” Mo Tian said lightly.
Liu Ming snorted in his mind and did not continue to ask.
Time pa.s.sed by gradually. After half an hour, dusk was drawing near.
A figure in a black robe walked out from the Xi Xing Shop. Although she wore a bamboo hat, Liu Ming recognized at first glance that she was previously the veiled girl in a black robe.
The girl in a black robe looked around a few times, then she turned into a black light and flew into the distance.
With a flash in his eyes, Liu Ming put down the teacup in his hand and stood up. At this moment, he halted his movements.
At the entrance of Xi Xing Shop, another figure in a gray robe walked out. It was a middle-aged man.
Liu Ming’s body trembled. He recognized this person. He was the Celestial State Elder Liu Junyan who previously received guests in You Rong City.
A sinister smile appeared in Liu Junyan’s eyes. His body turned into a faint gray light, and he chased after her silently.
“Senior Mo Tian, are you also aware of this?” Liu Ming asked with his eyes lit up. He watched the 2 escape lights depart without catching up immediately.
People from the Liu Family showed up in Guang Han City, so Liu Ming had to be very careful.
“I didn’t expect that people from the Liu Family are also following her… Boy Liu, catch up to them.” Mo Tian murmured before instructing sternly.
“That person belongs to the Liu Family. If they see me, I will be in trouble.” Liu Ming frowned, a little reluctant to get involved.
“Don’t worry. I will do my best to help you if there is any danger up ahead. That girl in a black robe has a unique ident.i.ty. She will be useful in the Demon Abyss.” Mo Tian urged.
There was a trace of hesitation on Liu Ming’s face, then he gritted his teeth. A burst of green light appeared on his body. He turned into an invisible shadow, merged with the s.p.a.ce, and headed toward where the 2 were flying away.
The girl in a black robe left Xi Xing Shop and flew toward the northwest.
Soon, the girl flew away from the bustling street and landed in a forest. She took off the bamboo hat on her head. Her face was still covered with a veil. She suddenly looked behind her with a strange look in her eyes.
Her eyes flashed, and she chanted silently. With a flash of purple light on her, she instantly transformed into 8 identical figures and scattered in different directions.
Behind a bush more than ten miles away, Liu Junyan was shocked slightly when he witnessed this scene. Then, he sneered disdainfully. As he chanted, a black line appeared on his forehead in a flash. The black line split open and revealed a pupil with faint red light.
The red pupil rotated several times before gazing at one of the black figures.
Liu Junyan chuckled, and he chased after that black figure.
At this moment, since the girl in a black robe had spotted him, Liu Junyan no longer hid his presence and chased after her.
After noticing that the man in a gray robe behind her had seen through her trick, the girl in a black robe canceled the mystic art immediately and focused on escaping.
However, the girl in a black robe was slower than Liu Junyan. Moreover, he didn’t exert all his power. Instead, he kept a distance from the girl.
As the pursuit continued, they gradually flew toward the northwest corner of Guang Han City.
The escape light transformed by the veiled girl in a black robe switched directions erratically as if in a panic to shake off the pursuer.
Seeing this, Liu Ming continued to follow them stealthily.
In the northwestern part of Guang Han City, not only the ground began to have potholes, but weeds and shrubs were overgrown. The buildings looked dilapidated compared to other places, giving a deserted and desolate vibe.
However, the veiled girl in a black robe stopped here and turned around.
After Liu Junyan confirmed that there was no one around, he grabbed forward at the s.p.a.ce.
Then, a whistling sound came!
Several streams of black light emanated from his hand, condensed into a giant black hand with black flames, and grabbed the veiled girl in a black robe.
The action was done in a split second!
The veiled girl in a black robe did not evade the giant hand. It might be she had no intention to dodge or simply thought it was impossible to avoid the hand. The flames surrounding the hand surged as the hand clenched into a fist.
A creaking sound could be heard!
The body of the veiled girl in a black robe exploded instantly, dissipating into a cloud of purple mist.
It was only a phantasm!
“s.h.i.t!”
Liu Junyan exclaimed. His figure moved back without thinking, but it was already too late!
The surrounding s.p.a.ce blurred. A faint purple ripple spread rapidly, sweeping over every area around Liu Junyan. When the purple light faded, Liu Junyan was surrounded by 16 faint purple mountains.
Between the mountains, cl.u.s.ters of faint purple mist tumbled unsteadily.
Liu Junyan was trapped in layers of illusion.
Immediately afterward, purple light shimmered above a purple mountain not far in front of Liu Junyan. The veiled girl in a black robe emerged silently, holding a short bow with purple patterns and black flames. She aimed at Liu Junyan and said coldly.
“What is your intention for following me after I came out from the shop?”
“Hehe, Your Highness, I don’t mean anything malicious. It’s just that our family master wants to invite you for a chat.” Liu Junyan smiled and said without any panic as if he didn’t care about the illusion she cast.
“Family master? Who are you?” The veiled girl in a black robe asked seriously.
“It doesn’t matter who I am. Once princess meets our family master, everything will be clear,” Liu Junyan said indifferently.
“Don’t think about it!”
Seeing this situation, the veiled girl in a black robe stopped talking nonsense and pulled the bowstring with one hand. After a soft sound, a small purple arrow appeared between her fingers.
As the girl chanted, a large wave of purple mist emanated from the surrounding purple mountains, blurring the s.p.a.ce between them. At the same time, a black flame appeared on the bow and enveloped the small purple arrow.
In the next instant, a piercing whistle sounded!
A black-purple arrow shot out from the short bow, disappearing immediately within the purple mist. The next moment, the arrow appeared right before Liu Junyan as if teleporting.
As the black-purple arrow flashed, it multiplied into countless arrows, shooting toward Liu Junyan densely.
Liu Junyan didn’t dodge at all. With a flash of black light, his body was covered in a piece of gray armor that looked quaint.
Then, dense gray runes emerged from the armor and intertwined into a gray transparent barrier.
When the black-purple arrows. .h.i.t the gray barrier fiercely, metal collision sounds could be heard.
The black light on the surface of the barrier flickered nonstop, blocking all those arrows.
The astonishment in the eyes of the veiled girl in a black robe was fleeting. She didn’t expect her opponent to block her attack effortlessly. Without hesitation, she rapidly released a barrage of purple arrows.
Just at that moment, a sharp whistle sounded!
A 300 meters tall demonic creature phantasm with 2 horns appeared above Liu Junyan. Under the flickering black light, a black hexagonal hammer appeared in its hand. It shook and hurled the hammer into the distance.
There was a rumbling sound. The hexagonal hammer enlarged to tens of meters and smashed at a purple mountain not far away.
There was a loud impact!
Under the terrifying force of the hexagonal hammer, the purple mountain peak was shattered and dissipated in an instant.
Then, the hexagonal hammer flew toward another purple mountain nearby without unabated momentum.
The rumbling noises came one after another!
The hexagonal hammer destroyed half of the 16 purple mountains in just a few seconds.
Liu Junyan, under the protection of that gray battle armor, turned a blind eye to the attack of the veiled girl in a black robe.
The veiled girl in a black robe was startled. She could not deal any substantial damage with the illusion domain. If the illusion was broken, she would be caught within a few exchanges of blows.
At this moment, a strange scene appeared!
There was a buzzing sound behind Liu Junyan. A gray and white light rolled out and wrapped Liu Junyan and the dual-horned demon phantasm aspect from behind.
Liu Junyan looked confused under the gray and white light.
Then, a fluctuation occurred 30 meters above Liu Junyan. A black flame fist the size of 300 meters emerged and blasted toward Liu Junyan with overwhelming momentum.
Liu Junyan’s Divine Thought was strong. He immediately recovered his senses, but he did not have the time to dodge the surprise attack. Thus, he could only let his phantasm aspect cross its arm to block the blow.
The next moment, there was a “boom“!
The black flames devastated the phantasm aspect’s arms and the gray protective barrier. The gray battle armor on Liu Junyan was shattered directly under a punch. The heavy blow launched him away.
Liu Junyan spewed out a mouthful of blood essence in midair. His aura weakened significantly. Under the gray and white light, he fell into a state of confusion again.
Although the veiled girl in a black robe didn’t know where the sudden appearance of the giant fist with black flames and the gray and white light came from, she refused to let the excellent opportunity and launched another wave of black-purple arrows with the short bow.
The blast was loud!
Losing his protection, arrows pierced Liu Junyan’s body, puncturing many holes. His soul couldn’t even manage to flee. It was evident that Liu Junyan was dead.
