Chapter 512: Chapter 0512: The Dark Council
The man, with a fierce expression and his whole body filled with a biting murderous intent, was immediately noticed by Frank and other members of the Hellfire Club upon entering the Xiangshui Villa.
Frank and his men were tasked with protecting their queen, Qiu Ruoxi, and upon seeing this group of ill-intentioned people, they didn’t hesitate to take action with the force of a thunderbolt, intending to intercept them all!
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that Frank and his men had all crawled out of a pile of corpses; in terms of murderous intent, they were certainly no weaker than these people.
The moment Frank and his men made a move, they were discovered by the other party, and without any conversation, a fierce battle ensued!
Frank didn’t know who these people were, but judging from the way they fought, they were clearly a group who lived by killing.
Each one of them struck like lightning, without any fancy techniques, purely skilled in the art of killing!
These were definitely people who could rival them.
Who on earth were they?
What did they want to do to the queen?
For a moment, Frank’s face was filled with unprecedented gravity; Qiu Ruoxi was now their queen, and as long as Ye Xunhuan was alive, he was the marshal of the underworld, their king!
Even though Ye Xunhuan had already left the underworld, as long as he was alive, he remained their faith, their backbone!
Now that someone was targeting their king’s woman, they would not back down.
In this moment, Frank and his men brought out all their strength, without the slightest concealment!
"Bang!"
Frank’s right leg heavily collided with one of his opponents, emitting a muffled sound, and then the tremendous impact made both parties take several steps back!
"Who are you exactly?" Frank asked coldly, steadying himself, to the Caucasian he was fighting.
"You must be the Hellfire’s Frank," a sudden voice chimed in, "with the strength of a high-level warrior!"
Hearing this voice, Frank’s expression changed; the other party knew who he was, and yet they still attacked.
This was definitely a bad sign.
The next moment, a man with a sturdy build, wearing a long robe, slowly came into view of Frank and his men.
The man was clad in a gorgeous black long robe that completely enveloped him from head to toe.
His complexion was extremely pale, an unsettling shade of white, like a blank sheet with no trace of blood, especially against the backdrop of the black robe, which made his skin look even paler, like a corpse, very sinister.
Moreover, his eyes were a rare purple, resembling two vortexes that attracted your attention at first glance, then ensnared you unwittingly.
It felt as if in his presence, you would have no secrets to hide.
Danger!
Upon seeing this man, Frank’s heart gave an abrupt jump.
"Who are you?"
"What do you think?" The man with the pale face wore a shallow smile, teasingly replied, "Herd is quite attentive, huh? Sending you, a high-level warrior, to protect your queen."
Frank’s heart sank upon hearing the man’s response.
The man knew that Ye Xunhuan’s wife, their queen, lived here, but he still attacked, which meant he did not fear Ye Xunhuan.
In the entire underworld, there were not many who did not fear Ye Xunhuan—only a handful!
"Who the hell are you?"
"You’re not qualified to know who I am!" the man’s voice was calm, yet carried an unprecedented arrogance, "Step aside, and I won’t kill you!"
"In your dreams!"
Frank, despite sensing an unprecedented dangerous aura emanating from this man, did not retreat in the slightest; instead, he stared fixedly at the other like a wild beast.
Seeing Frank’s resolute expression, the man gently shook his head: "Frank, I’m giving all of you a chance!"
"Attack together, if you can injure me, I will immediately take my people and retreat!" the man declared with boundless arrogance!
Once again hearing the man’s arrogant words, Frank and the others’ expressions immediately turned ugly. Though they felt an extreme sense of danger from this man, continuously facing such scorn from him completely ignited their pride.
"You’re courting death!" Frank roared furiously, and like a tiger descending a mountain, he abruptly charged at the man, his iron fist like a cannonball shot out, hammering toward the man. n𝚘𝚟pub.𝚌o𝚖
Just as Frank’s iron fist was about to land on the man’s body, the man’s figure suddenly began to blur, as if it were a knitted tapestry, its threads slowly pulling away from their original positions.
"Swoosh!"
Frank’s punch went straight through, missing entirely, and this eerie scene caused Frank’s face to undergo a drastic change.
The very next moment, before he could react, he felt as if someone had tapped him from behind, and Frank almost instinctively looked back.
He immediately saw the man who had disappeared in front of him now appeared behind him, his pale face filled with a mocking smile as he looked at him!
"You’re no match for me, the marshal might just pass!"
With that, the man’s right hand lashed out directly!
"Bang!"
A loud muffled sound suddenly erupted, and immediately Frank’s body, like a kite with its string cut, was thrown through the air.
After experiencing a moment of gliding through the sky, Frank’s body crashed heavily to the ground, the tremendous impact causing his body to violently tremble.
Without waiting for Frank to rise from the ground, the man made his move once again. In his right hand suddenly appeared a black blade, striking out like black lightning under the afterglow, directly toward the other members of Hell’s Fire!
"Boom!"
It was as if a black flame had burst forth from the Longsword, rapidly heading towards the other Hell’s Fire members.
The man moved with such rapidity and urgency that he gave no one a chance to react before slashing out, the massive black energy flinging all the other Hell’s Fire members away.
Upon witnessing this scene, Frank’s face immediately filled with an unprecedented terror, "You... you’re Loren of the Dark Council!"
The black Longsword, the pale face, the purple pupils, a black robe!
All the features pointed unmistakably to Loren of the Dark Council!
The Dark Council is a very ancient power in Europe, worshipping Satan, and mostly comprised of individuals wielding some form of mysterious power.
Their leader is one of the few in the underworld who can contend with Ye Xunhuan.
Now that Loren had appeared, did this mean that it was the Dark Council behind this move?
Upon hearing Frank’s words, a surprised expression flashed across Loren’s pallid face, "I was intending for you to die, but since you’ve recognized me, then carry a message to the marshal for me!"
"Bring the Taiji Seal in exchange for his wife!"
