Duke Bosi’s face changed dramatically, and he retreated repeatedly.
But his retreating speed was nowhere near as fast as Ye Haochuan’s advancing speed.
Just as the Halberd of Heaven and Earth was about to pierce his head, he suddenly let out a long howl, and his two arms, missing hands, rapidly swelled again, blocking the Halberd of Heaven and Earth.
The blade of the Halberd of Heaven and Earth flashed with a cold light, and with a sharp "screech," it pierced Duke Bosi’s arm.
The Halberd of Heaven and Earth is also a divine weapon; although not as sharp as the Divine Concealnt Sword, it has its own pride.
Ye Haochuan, when dealing with the Skeleton Monster of the Secret Realm, relied entirely on the Divine Concealnt Sword, leaving the Halberd of Heaven and Earth simring with anger.
This ti, the Divine Concealnt Sword had taken the lead, seemingly overshadowing its brilliance, further fueling its desire to prove itself.
Ye Haochuan felt a massive aura entering his body from the Halberd of Heaven and Earth, making him feel a hundred tis stronger.
"Ha!"
Ye Haochuan let out a furious shout, and the force from his body, like a long-held missile, was suddenly released in full.
Duke Bosi’s arms suddenly seed to turn into tofu, being instantly pierced through.
"How... how could this be..." In Duke Bosi’s shock, the Halberd of Heaven and Earth swiftly pierced his forehead.
"This..." The remaining two dukes were already too stunned to speak upon seeing this scene.
Ye Haochuan’s gaze suddenly shifted, coldly glaring at these two.
The two imdiately seed like they were facing a god of death from hell, their legs trembling, nearly collapsing to their knees.
"Die!"
Ye Haochuan exclaid simply, then his figure suddenly flashed towards the two dukes.
The two Nascent Soul Peak experts, at this mont, seed to turn into two defenseless won, unable to muster any resistance, not even the courage to run away.
Just in the half-instant they froze, two round heads were already thrown off.
"Whew~"
Having dealt with the four dukes, Ye Haochuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The Blood Clan is quite special, with strong limitations in bloodlines. After a duke’s death, his Blood Clan subordinates would gradually perish due to the severed bloodline inheritance.
So as long as these four dukes were killed, the outco of this battle was already completely determined.
The only remaining trouble for Ye Haochuan was Anna, who had possessed Sophia.
Now that the Blood Clan under Anna is dood to have no hope, Ye Haochuan truly worries that Anna might act desperately and harm Sophia.
He shifted his gaze back, his mind constantly spinning, thinking about how he should appease Anna.
"Huh?" What surprised Ye Haochuan was that Anna had unknowingly retreated far away.
And on her face, surprisingly, there was no despair from the death of the Blood Clan dukes, but rather full of indifference and calmness, as if she had anticipated this result all along.
"Useless things!" Anna suddenly cursed, then yelled at the surrounding Blood Clan cultivators, "Kill him for !"
The surrounding Blood Clan cultivators, upon hearing this, surprisingly showed no resistance, rushing towards Ye Haochuan.
Ye Haochuan frowned; he couldn’t fathom what Anna was up to.
With the dukes dead, these Blood Clan cultivators couldn’t survive much longer, yet at this mont they seed to be obeying Anna’s orders, which in itself was peculiar.
The Blood Clan cultivators were howling and surging forward, enclosing Ye Haochuan completely. Even the Divine Concealnt Sword, which was tangling with Anna, was dealt with by several Nascent Soul Stage Blood Clan mbers together.
Ye Haochuan brandished the Halberd of Heaven and Earth, and no enemy was his match.
If surrounded by the large forces of the Xuann, Ye Haochuan might have been worried, but against the Blood Clan, he had no concern.
This does not an the Blood Clan’s strength is significantly weaker than the Xuann Cultivators, but rather because within the Xuann, attack thods are diverse, allowing long-range attacks to combine their power.
While the Blood Clan cultivators mostly engage in close combat, even if their strength is formidable, the space around Ye Haochuan is limited, with at most seven or eight enemies able to attack him, their attacks unable to combine, allowing Ye Haochuan to manage them comfortably.
Therefore, regarding these Blood Clan cultivators, he had little worry; he didn’t need to kill too many, just wait for them to die as their bloodlines were severed.
As he handled the offensive around him, he kept observing Anna’s movents.
What puzzled Ye Haochuan was Anna’s calm deanor as she moved through the crowd of Blood Clan cultivators, transporting the four duke’s corpses to the wooden coffin nearby.
Ye Haochuan furrowed his brow slightly; he didn’t know what was inside the coffin, but he had a hunch that it would be soone very troubleso.
Ye Haochuan was suddenly anxious, internally scolding himself for previously ignoring this object. The four dukes chose this place to ambush him yet brought a coffin, which was itself strange; he hadn’t paid enough attention.
"Get lost!"
Ye Haochuan’s anxiety grew, and the Halberd of Heaven and Earth in his hand no longer attacked weakly, each swing taking away many Blood Clan cultivators’ lives.
He originally thought that with his formidable stance, the Blood Clan cultivators would be terrified and not dare to approach him.
Unexpectedly, these Blood Clan cultivators seed to have abandoned concern for life and death, no matter how many died, others followed without hesitation.
Even though Ye Haochuan’s attack was fierce, against such a human wave tactic, he found it hard to advance further.
Damn! Have they all gone mad?
Ye Haochuan cursed internally, and a sense of foreboding grew stronger.
At this mont, Anna, unhurriedly, transported the four dukes’ corpses beside the coffin, then drew out their blood using spiritual energy at the wound sites.
Blood within the Blood Clan is extrely scarce yet considered essential blood. Anna dripped four blobs of essential blood onto the old coffin’s board, then cut Sophia’s wrist, squeezing out a drop of essential blood to rge with it.
With five drops of essential blood rged into the coffin board, a series of blood-red lights erupted from the coffin.
The Blood Clan cultivators all stopped fighting at this mont and kneeled respectfully toward the coffin. Even Allen, who was with Ye Haochuan’s group, was no exception.
Ye Haochuan flipped a few Blood Clan cultivators with the Halberd of Heaven and Earth, discovering these cultivators did not move at all even when faced with impending danger.
"What on earth is this thing?" Ye Haochuan’s eyes flashed with concern.
Intuition told him that this thing inside the coffin was stronger than Duke Bosi... no, stronger than the combined strength of the four dukes.
No, not just four dukes; originally, there were five dukes.
The last duke was Duke Abel, whose bloodline was inherited by Sophia. And evidently, the opening of this coffin requires the combined essential blood of the five dukes.
Only now did Ye Haochuan realize that Anna intended to control Sophia not just because of the relationship between Sophia and himself, which prevented him from harming Sophia.
Rather, this was a plan agreed upon long ago between the four dukes and Anna, to control Sophia to et the conditions to summon whatever was within the coffin.
"Ye Haochuan, this ti you won’t escape alive from here!" An Li smiled triumphantly, her expression when looking at Ye Haochuan like she was viewing a dead man.
