Chapter 292 True Face
This revelation stirred not only the ordinary spiritual masters but also the elders of the Blood Seal Gate, as the value of an Ice Marrow Pearl was extraordinarily high.
Before anyone could react, Stun Zen, unable to contain himself, was the first to act.
"Swish!"
Leaping down from the high wall, Stun Zen eyed the Frostwing Bat King greedily. A streak of black energy flickered in his palm, transforming into a black blade. He then turned his head, his smile appearing quite gentle.
"Young friend, you've done your best. Thank you for your contributions to Bloodstone Pass. As for the Frostwing Bat King, let me handle it for you."
Stun Zen's faint laughter echoed, and a cold, fierce look instantly gathered in Blaze Regret's dark eyes. A subtle killing intent emanated from him.
Earlier, when he was risking his life against the Frostwing Bat King, Stun Zen had been watching from the high wall, hoping he'd die sooner. But as soon as the Ice Marrow Pearl appeared, Stun Zen immediately intervened, aiming to kill the dying Frostwing Bat King and conveniently take the valuable Ice Marrow Pearl for himself.
And he did it all while pretending to lend a helping hand.
Such greed was truly disgraceful.
"Master Stun, you've finally torn off your mask," Blaze Regret said, his gaze icy as he stared at Stun Zen. Behind him, Red and the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros quickly closed in.
"Young man, I don't know what you're talking about. However, it's very dangerous down here. You should quickly return to the high wall. I'll handle things here," Stun Zen said, feigning concern, as if he hadn't orchestrated the battle between Blaze Regret and the Frostwing Bat King.
After speaking, Stun Zen's gaze shifted to the gleaming Ice Marrow Pearl, filled with greed.
"You old thing, how shameless can you be? Brother Blaze was the one who took down the Frostwing Bat King. What does that have to do with you?" Walker Adam's face flushed with anger, his voice full of fury.
"Walker Adam, watch your mouth. My father acted out of righteousness, and that kid should be grateful," Stun Qistin sneered, a satisfied expression on her face.
In her mind, Blaze Regret had no choice but to swallow his anger. How could he dare to confront a ninth rank spirit Imperial master?
"Stun Zen is going to snatch the Ice Marrow Pearl. That kid is in trouble."
"This is too overbearing. After all the hard fighting, he just jumps down and wants to claim the spoils of war for himself!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Shh, keep your voice down. Don't you want to live? That's Stun Zen we're talking about. He could kill you with a single hand."
Whispers erupted atop the high wall, and countless eyes focused on Blaze Regret, many of them filled with a touch of pity.
At the Bloodstone Pass, known for its blood soaked history, the principle of the strong devouring the weak is the norm. It wouldn't matter if Stun Zen snatched the Ice Marrow Pearl or even killed Blaze Regret on the spot; no one would stand up for him. This is the harsh reality.
"Heh, weren't you quite tough? Be bold and show your arrogance again," Walker Nani thought to herself, coldly amused at the sight of Blaze Regret's predicament.
At this moment, everyone who had interacted with Blaze Regret was filled with mixed emotions, some delighted at his misfortune, others mocking him. Only a few sighed helplessly.
After the previous battle, they all recognized that Blaze Regret was merely a seventh rank spirit Imperial master; otherwise, he wouldn't have almost been killed by the Frostwing Bat King multiple times.
"He'll probably be back soon, looking quite embarrassed."
Everyone thought the same, but most felt no contempt. After all, standing opposite Blaze Regret was one of the strongest in the Bloodstone Pass.
Perhaps anticipating this, Stun Zen sneered disdainfully, his black blade slicing through the air in a ruthless arc as it unflinchingly aimed for the Frostwing Bat King's head.
"Master Stun, why do you and your useless son both enjoy stealing from others?"
The helpless sigh from behind made Stun Zen's pupils constrict. The knife that was about to pierce the Frostwing Bat King's head froze mid air, as if time had stopped.
In that brief moment of Stun Zen's distraction, Blaze Regret shifted, firmly grasping the Ice Marrow Pearl embedded in the Frostwing Bat King's abdomen in his palm.
"You little brat, say that again!" Stun Zen raised his head, his crimson eyes fixated on Blaze Regret, a violent killing intent erupting from within him.
The massive Bone Armor Rhino stomped closer to Stun Zen, its skeletal foot crashing down, shattering the Frostwing Bat King's skull.
"It seems Master Stun not only enjoys stealing but also has poor hearing," Blaze Regret replied coldly. The Ice Marrow Pearl in his hand transformed into a streak of light, darting into the Ice Lotus of his second spiritual portal. This moment was so subtle that even Silver Lin of the Blood Mark Gate failed to notice it.
"Very good, very good!" A sinister and cruel smile emerged on Stun Zen's face. He hadn't expected that the one who would bring about his son's demise would be this kid standing before him. Moreover, the third elder should also meet his end at his hands.
The thought that the Stun family's top combat strength had all perished because of Blaze Regret caused Stun Zen's killing intent to almost manifest physically, ready to burst forth.
"I'll soon make you understand how terrifying it is to be alive!"
Stun Zen's voice brimmed with murderous intent as the powerful spiritual energy erupted from the Bone Armor Rhino. It stepped forward, expressionless, and unleashed a punch.
"High level Imperial grade Lord tier spiritual technique, Heavy Cannon Fist!"
A torrent of energy, akin to a volcanic eruption, surged forward from the rhino's fist, carrying an overwhelming pressure that violently surged towards Blaze Regret. This punch was enough to obliterate an ordinary eighth tier imperial grade spirit beast.
