Chapter 314: Great Ancestor! You Don't Understand!
"Shouldn't you two be more worried about his safety rather than scolding him for being reckless?" A woman with long, flowing caramel hair and blue-gray eyes looked at Rias and Lysandra with a disapproving expression. She then rushed towards Asher and examined him from head to toe. "Asher! How are you feeling? Does it hurt too much?"
"I'm fine, Aunt Olivia." Asher gave her a reassuring smile. "Thank you for coming to help me."
Olivia nodded her head and stood beside him, ready to protect him in case something happened.
The last person to step out of the portal was a woman with white hair and blue eyes. However, unlike the others, she didn't say anything as she took her place next to Asher. However, her silence was enough to convey her anger towards those who dared harm Asher. And her cold aura added to the sense of fear she was emitting.
After everyone had arrived, the portal closed. As it did, Li Qing couldn't help but speak in an irritated voice, "Who the hell are you people!? How dare you interfere with my clan's affairs!?"
But before any of them could respond, another voice spoke up from the side. It was Li Wang, who looked extremely furious and shocked by the turn of events. "Those women! Why are they here!? This is bad... This is really bad!"
Hearing Li Wang's outburst, Li Qing turned his attention towards him and asked. "What's wrong, my descendant?"
"That woman! The woman in red! She is Aria Blake! The leader of the Blake family! One of the most influential clans on the entire continent! This...
This is a disaster!" Li Wang answered in an anxious voice. He knew how powerful Aria Blake was, and he knew how much danger the entire clan was in.
Li Qing's eyes widened in surprise when he heard this. He looked at Aria again and examined her closely, trying to gauge her strength. He sensed her aura, and after a while, he let out a loud snort and spoke in an arrogant tone, "Aria Blake? Hmph! She might be a bit strong, but so what? She is just a woman.
What can she do against me? I am Li Qing! The Blood Emperor! One who ruled over the entire continent! Do you think I fear her!? Do you think I will cower before her!?
Hmph!"
He then looked back at Li Wang and shouted, "Why are you acting like such a coward? Is this how the Patriarch of the Li Clan should act? You are disgracing our entire clan! Now stop being useless and go deal with these pests!" Your next chapter is on m v|l--NovelBin.net
However, instead of obeying him, Li Wang shook his head and took a step back, distancing himself from the group of women. He spoke in a fearful tone, "Great ancestor! You don't understand! She is not just some ordinary woman! She is... She is..."
He wanted to continue speaking, but he stopped himself when he noticed something strange happening to all his clan members and elders. It was a horrifying sight, as if their flesh and bones were being ripped apart. Their screams filled the entire cave chamber, echoing throughout the area.
Everyone stared at this sight with shocked expressions on their faces, including Li Qing.
"What is happening here!?" Li Qing shouted angrily as he tried to comprehend what was going on. He looked at Aria Blake with rage in his eyes and shouted, "You! What did you do!? Speak! Answer me!"
But Aria ignored him and continued to observe the scene. Her expression remained unchanged as she watched all the members of the Li Clan being torn apart by her Spirit.
It was at that moment that Asher noticed mesmerizing butterflies floating around the area. These butterflies had a purple-black hue, and their wings were adorned with intricate patterns. The patterns on their wings constantly shifted, changing their appearance every second. As they floated around, they released a purple mist that covered all the Li Clan members and elders.
As soon as the mist touched them, they started screaming in agony. Their bodies twisted and distorted, as if they were being ripped apart by an invisible force. Their bones cracked, and their skin tore open. Blood poured out of their wounds, dyeing their clothes red. It was truly a gruesome sight to behold.
However, Li Qing wasn't one to be underestimated either. He wasn't just an old man; he was the Blood Emperor. As soon as he noticed what was happening, he unleashed his own aura, and it engulfed all of the Li Clan members, including Li Wang. It caused the blood inside their bodies to boil, which burned away the purple mist. They then fell to their knees and vomited blood while clutching their chests.
"A petty trick. You think you can kill my descendants just like that? You're underestimating me." Li Qing snorted in disdain. "You want to see how a real cultivator fights? Fine then! I'll show you!"
With those words, his aura burst forth with intense power. It was an eerie crimson glow, which reminded Asher of the color of blood. It permeated the entire cave chamber, suffusing everything around him with its sinister aura. It was as if the air itself had been dyed red by the crimson light emitted from his body.
At the same time, Aria's butterflies responded to the blood qi and began to fly towards Li Qing in a frenzy. Their bodies glowed purple as they released beams of energy, trying to pierce through the barrier created by his aura. However, these beams only managed to bounce off the barrier and dissipate into the air.
The scene was like two forces colliding against each other—the purple light against the crimson one. It was then that the battle between the two auras began. They clashed against each other, causing intense pressure to spread outward like shockwaves. The cave itself started shaking due to their intense auras clashing. This caused many cracks to appear on the walls and ceiling of the cave chamber.
Large chunks of rocks started falling from above, threatening to crush those below.
