Chapter 1 It's better to die
The vast plain stretched as far as the eye could see, a monotonous black against a slightly gloomy sky. A sense of oppression and unease permeated the plain.
"call out!"
A figure in black robes flew rapidly across the plain, leaving faint trails in the air as a pair of crimson battle aura wings flapped rapidly behind him.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Hundreds of meters behind the man in black robes, two streaks of light, one green and one yellow, followed closely behind him, relentlessly pursuing him.
"Where did this ignorant brat come from, daring to rob my Black Emperor Sect's property? He's utterly audacious!"
"You despicable thief, surrender now!"
The cold voice behind him did not move the man in black robes. He looked at the endless plain in front of him, raised his hand and put a Qi-restoring pill into his mouth. With a flap of his wings, he became even faster.
"Hmph! I refuse to believe you can keep running like that!"
As the elder of the Black Emperor Sect said, the distance between the three was slowly closing at an extremely slow rate, and they would probably be within attack range in less than half an hour.
The man in black robes fled in silence. The escape and pursuit continued for another ten minutes or so until a mountain range came into view.
The man in black robes suddenly stopped and turned around. In the instant he turned around, he raised both palms at the same time, and two red energy palm prints quickly condensed, radiating a faint heat. As he pushed out his palms, the huge energy palm prints shot out rapidly, blasting towards the two people who were chasing closely behind him.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Two enormous explosions rang out, accompanied by the continuous tremors of the surrounding天地能量 (heaven and earth energy).
The two members of the Black Emperor Sect were unable to dodge in time and were struck by the palm print. They both groaned and flew backward for more than ten meters.
The man in black robes gave the two no chance to catch their breath. He flashed forward and closed in on the two members of the Black Emperor Sect, unleashing a barrage of palm and fist strikes, seemingly intent on killing them.
However, although the two members of the Black Emperor Sect were accidentally knocked away, they were still Dou Wang level experts. They quickly regained their footing and attacked the black-robed man at the same time.
"Bang!"
"boom!"
"Swoosh! Bang!"
The continuous roar echoed along the edge of the mountain range, and the green, yellow and red energies surged and rippled. The energy of heaven and earth within a range of nearly 100 meters was shaken by the aftershocks of the battle, creating waves of energy.
"A mere low-level Battle King, how could he possibly defy the heavens!"
The two from the Black Emperor Sect were a five-star Dou Wang and an eight-star Dou Wang, while the man in black robes, judging from his aura, was only a two-star Dou Wang!
The man in black robes did not respond. His face was obscured by a black mask, making it impossible to see his expression. However, his dark eyes were filled with a chilling coldness, and the fighting techniques he was wielding were even more ferocious.
"Wood Spirit Thorn!"
"Earth-Splitting Palm!"
A barrage of powerful fighting techniques rained down on the man in black robes, and he responded by constantly searching for his opponent's weaknesses.
A few minutes later, the man in black robes was already at a disadvantage and could only barely defend himself. Seeing this, the two members of the Black Emperor Sect attacked even more fiercely, trying to inflict damage on the man in black robes even while enduring his attacks.
Suddenly, the man in black robes was caught off guard and revealed a slight opening. The two members of the Black Emperor Sect grinned and attacked the man in black robes at the same time, determined to defeat him in one blow.
"Blazing Palm!"
In his panic, the man in black robes had no choice but to use the same fighting technique he had repeated several times to attack the two opponents, trying to force them to turn to defense. The two from the Black Emperor Sect snorted coldly, did not dodge, and attacked the man in black robes fiercely.
"Bang! Bang!"
"boom!"
The man in black robes was suddenly sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood. The black robes were ripped apart by the powerful fighting technique, revealing his strong, naked upper body. On his abdomen, a horrific, bloody wound was exposed to the air. As the man in black robes flew backward and rolled to the ground, the blood stained the dark earth a dark red.
The two from the Black Emperor Sect were also sent flying more than ten meters away before they managed to regain their footing, each spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing the black-robed man fly backwards and land on the ground, the two from the Black Emperor Sect were about to press their advantage when their expressions changed at the same time.
"His fighting techniques are poisonous!"
"asshole!"
The two quickly checked themselves, and their faces soon darkened. In those few seconds, their faces began to turn pale, their lips gradually turned black, and their fighting spirit began to dissipate.
"Damn it! What kind of poison is this? Where's the antidote?!"
"Hand over the antidote!"
The man in black robes struggled to his feet. The mask concealing his face had fallen away, revealing a handsome and dashing face. He stared at the two members of the Black Emperor Sect in the distance, grinning to reveal his blood-stained teeth, which looked somewhat sinister, yet also exuded a sense of unrestrained arrogance. His voice was hoarse as he said, "Dark Radiance Gold, even a Dou Zong can be poisoned to death by accident. There's no antidote, cough..."
As the man in black robes spoke, his injuries trembled, and he couldn't help but cough lightly, blood spilling from his mouth again. He casually wiped it away, then put two pills into his mouth and swallowed them along with the blood.
"You little bastard, let's die together!"
The two members of the Black Emperor Sect had extremely gloomy faces. Feeling their battle qi rapidly dissipating from their bodies, they flashed forward and were about to rush over to kill their opponent. However, after flying only a dozen meters, their battle qi disappeared completely, and they fell from the sky one after another, crashing heavily to the ground.
The man in black robes slowly approached the two members of the Black Emperor Sect. Amidst their resentful and venomous gazes, he unleashed two more palm strikes, reaping their lives.
Looking down at the horrific, bloody wound on his abdomen, the man in black robes casually took out a piece of white cloth and wrapped it around his waist, quickly covering the wound. Then he took out a black robe and draped it over his body. Enduring the excruciating pain from his injuries, he squatted down and removed the two men's storage rings.
Feeling his own nearly depleted battle qi, the black-robed man frowned slightly. He looked around and his gaze settled on the mountain range in front of him.
He forcibly mobilized the little remaining fighting spirit in his body, and wings appeared on his back. With a gentle flap, the somewhat illusory wings carried him into the sky, swaying and flying towards the mountains.
The man in black robes scanned the mountains below, searching for a secluded spot. However, this mountain range seemed unusual; he could always sense the presence of some powerful magical beasts.
As time passed, the fighting spirit within the black-robed man was about to dry up. He could no longer continue searching for a safe place, so he had to lower his altitude and fly forward for several hundred meters. Before his fighting spirit was exhausted, he landed in a mountain stream.
He forced his extremely weak body forward and walked toward a cave ahead. At the same time, he probed his storage ring with his soul power again and searched it. A bitter smile appeared on his pale face.
The already scarce healing pills had been exhausted in the previous battle. He tried to probe the storage rings of the two Dou Wangs of the Black Emperor Sect with his soul power, but was blocked by the soul imprints that had not yet dissipated. The black-robed man did not try to break through them. His consciousness had begun to blur, and he could no longer use much soul power.
Forcing himself to the cave entrance, the black-robed man saw a blurry image of the dark cave ahead. He took out a dagger from his storage ring, gripped it tightly, and with his last bit of consciousness, leaned against the cave wall and slowly moved inward.
Gradually, he slowly collapsed to the ground, the sash of his black robe came undone, revealing a white cloth wrapped around his abdomen that was already stained red with blood.
"It's better that he's dead..."
The last thought flashed through his mind, and the black-robed man slowly loosened his grip on the dagger, his consciousness fading into darkness.
