NOVPUBRuthless!
So ruthless!
The cruelest part was not the method of the enemy, but the betrayal of his own people!
The man stabbed by the black-clad elder was none other than Elder White, another tenth-tier martial artist at the peak of his powers!
He was the last one of their company, excluding both the Blood Sword and the black-clad elder himself!
Caught off guard, the black-clad elder managed to easily plunge his sword into Elder White’s body!
"You—"
Elder White, in disbelief, looked at the culprit.
Until then, they had been equals in rank and power, with a good relationship. He never imagined that the latter would attack him at this moment.
"Boom—"
His vital energy surged, a strong and fierce aura threatening to burst forth from Elder White.
However, a dazzling, bloody light emanated from the Blood Sword, enveloping him and rapidly weakening the aura radiating from his body.
His body was visibly withering at an alarming pace.
"So it’s really like this…"
Lin Yun inhaled sharply, his pupils constricting.
The Blood Sword could indeed drain the vital energy of the enemies during combat. Even though this process wasn’t as fast as draining corpses, it wasn’t slow either.
The black-clad elder’s sword pierced Elder White, depriving him of his ability to resist. His lifeforce started to decline.
As Elder White’s lifeforce weakened, the Blood Sword drained his energy at an even faster rate.
"Elder Black, you—"
The Blood Sword gasped, exclaiming in disbelief.
The fact that Elder Black had slain Elder White could this be a sign of manipulation?
Or maybe, it can’t be called control...
It was Elder Black’s own overwhelming desire!
However, this also implied the slim likelihood of reclaiming the Blood Sword from Elder Black!
Their opponent was killed by his own man, and Yang One and Yang Two were taken aback!
But they quickly recovered and joined forces with Yang Three to Eleven to fight against the black-clad elder!
However, the black-clad elder, clearly prepared, stepped back and behind the Blood Sword!
He wasn’t protecting the Blood Sword; instead, he was using him as a shield...
"Damn it!"
The Blood Sword shuddered, shouting in rage.
Whoosh—
Without a hint of hesitation, he immediately darted to one side.
Earlier, he had been safe due to the black-clad elder’s protection. Now, however, the elder was not only not protecting him but was also using him as a shield. Could he survive?
Those were over ten robots with the strength of tenth-tier peak martial artists...
But he overlooked the thoughts of Yang One to Eleven!
Could Yang One to Eleven really not kill him just now?
That wasn’t the case!
They wanted to keep the Blood Sword alive to keep Elder Black at bay, forcing him to act cautiously!
They hadn’t anticipated Elder Black’s current behavior!
So, for a while, they didn’t harm the Blood Sword, allowing him to escape successfully!
But due to the interference of the Blood Sword, they couldn’t hurt the black-clad elder either!
In just a moment, the Blood Sword held by the black-clad elder had nearly drained all energy from Elder White!.
Just a moment ago, a robust Elder White was now only a shell!
"Just a little more, a little more..."
Yet, the black-clad elder grumbled in frustration.
He lifted his head, his eyes turning even redder as he glared at everyone present.
His gaze passed over Lin Yun’s subordinates, then the guests, and finally rested on the Blood Sword...
Most of Lin Yun’s subordinates were not of a high rank, but they were ready for combat and formidable.
Most of the guests had already fled a great distance. Despite the attention of Yang One to Eleven, he found it difficult to kill them.
The only one left was the Blood Sword...
He was not far from Elder Black. They were on the same side, and the Blood Sword likely hadn’t become wary of him yet. If Elder Black took him by surprise, he should be able to kill him easily!

Once this thought ensued, it became unstoppable.
"Watch out!"
Seeing Elder Black’s piercing red gaze fixated on him, the Blood Sword’s face turned ashen, his heart skipping a beat.
The Blood Sword had initially been his treasure; he knew it well.
In addition to that, knowing about Elder Black’s behavior earlier…
Now Elder Black was glaring at him, how could he not guess what Elder Black was thinking?
Short distance flight was out of the question; he was no match for Elder Black. His only option was teleportation.
"Buzz—"
Immediately, a force of space rose around him.
However, it was too late.
Teleportation required time. Even if it was a fraction of a second, it could take ages for them.
"Young Master, these people dared to disrespect you. I’m going to kill them for you. But before that, please lend me a hand..." Just as the black-clad elder appeared beside the Blood Sword, he muttered softly.
"Swish—swish—swish—"
While he spoke, dozens of bloody glows were swung out from the Blood Sword, surrounding the Blood Sword from all sides.
"You dare—"
The Blood Sword cried out in shock and anger.
However, all that replied to him was the heartless assault of the dozens of bloody glows swung out by the black-clad elder’s Blood Sword, showing no hesitation.
The black-clad elder’s strength was formidable at this point. The eleven robots, all with the strength of tenth-tier peak martial artists, couldn’t even dare to claim that they could do anything against him. Naturally, the Blood Sword, who was only at the initial stage of the tenth tier, didn’t stand a chance.
"Is this what’s called reaping what you sow? I let Elder Black hold the sword to kill the enemy, only for it to backfire on me…"
The moment the bloody glow rapidly drained the energy from his body, the Blood Sword thought bitterly.
After obtaining the Blood Sword, he assumed he was the main character and would accomplish great things in the future.
Unexpectedly, he fell victim today in this lower-level Civilization Star Domain.
He first encountered a mighty enemy, then was backstabbed by his own people due to his actions.
The Blood Sword, with its undeniable demonic nature, had always been a concern for him regarding its backlash. And in the end, it indeed backfired on him.
It merely took a different form.
He recalled scenes from the past, playing in his mind over and over.
First was the scene when he obtained the Blood Sword, then the scene before he possessed it.
Prior to obtaining the Blood Sword, he was just a sunny young man!
That was...a delicate figure...they were childhood sweethearts...
"Wuji Brother, in the future, let’s explore the star river together..."
The young woman playfully said into his ear.
Wuji was his original name, Qingtian Wuji.
Later, after getting the Blood Sword, he accidentally killed the girl in a bout of madness.
Seeing the girl turn into a mere shell, similar to the corpses just drained by the black-clad elder, he went completely insane.
From that point on, his nature drastically changed.
A single tear slid down his face, immediately absorbed by the bloody light before even reaching his cheek.
"It’s good to die like this…"
He whispered to himself.
