Chapter 29 Joint Kill

As the lightning rumbled, Patriarch Yuwen’s various divine techniques, Dao techniques, and skills were rendered ineffective.

He frowned

It had been ten thousand years since they last met. Although Ye Zhen’s strength was still at the level of a Ninth-grade Pre-Emperor, he had probably made great progress in the Lightning Dao.

However, it was fortunate that he had called the Patriarch Shentu along. Otherwise, even if he had broken through to a Ninth-grade

Pre-Emperor, he would not be Ye Zhen’s match.

The two of them might be in the same realm but the differences were obvious.

Ye Zhen’s Lightning Dao alone was enough to torment him.

Patriarch Yuwen was disheartened.

The strength difference, it fueled his grievance.

“Old Dog Yuwen, is that all you can do?” the Supreme Grand Patriarch sneered.

Patriarch Yuwen’s face turned cold. He flicked his sleeve and snorted, “Ye Zhen, don’t force yourself. You’re not in a good shape either.”

The three of them had been fighting for a long time.

Even if the Supreme Grand Patriarch was a veteran Ninth-grade Pre-Emperor, he would still be exhausted.

From the looks of it, he was not in a better situation than Patriarch Yuwen and Patriarch Shentu.

The Supreme Grand Patriarch just smiled. He was indeed not in a good shape.

However, he could still hold on for a while, but uncertain for how long.

He could only hope that Ye Tu’s side could quickly deal with the two family chiefs.

Otherwise, even if he was not beaten to death by the two old dogs, he would have been exhausted to death.

“Why don’t you see for yourself?” the Supreme Grand Patriarch said lightly.

The next moment, the Supreme Grand Patriarch gathered endless lightning bolts again, and the vast sky was filled with black

clouds, flashing with lightning.

Black clouds covered the sky, shrouding

Patriarch Yuwen and Patriarch Shentu.

Patriarch Yuwen frowned; Patriarch Shentu reacted bitterly.

He was already weaker than Ye Zhen in terms of cultivation level, and after a long battle, he was already at a disadvantage.

In addition, the Shentu family’s ferocious qi was restrained by the Ye family’s Lightning Dao.

He was in the worst condition among the three patriarchs.

Now that Ye Zhen gathered the lightning bolts for a second round, it would be strange if he

could remain calm.

Patriarch Yuwen said, “Brother Shentu, don’t panic. Right now, Ye Zhen is just an arrow at the end of its flight. This is just a last-ditch struggle. As long as the two of us exhaust Ye Zhen’s spiritual energy, the Grand Emperor’s Blood Essence will be easy to obtain.”

The words forced Patriarch Shentu to hold on

and nod in silence regardless of how bad the

situation was.

The battle had already reached the climax. He couldn’t possibly run away at this time.

If he were to run away on his own, he reckoned that even Patriarch Yuwen wouldn’t be able to last long under Ye Zhen’s hands.

Then, he would wait for Ye Zhen to absorb the blood essence and become a Grand Emperor

himself.

It would then mark the end of the Shentu

family.

The only thing he could do now was to exhaust Ye Zhen’s spiritual energy.

Killing Ye Zhen would be a little of a stretch

as it was already difficult holding him back.

How difficult could it be to hold back a Ninth-grade Pre-Emperor?

Even if he and Patriarch Yuwen were

Ninth-grade and Eighth-grade

Pre-Emperors, it was still extremely difficult.

He could not win a Ninth-grade Pre-Emperor, and he could not run either.

It was because the Ye family members were still alive, or else Ye Zhen, as the Supreme Grand Patriarch, would have left a long time ago and refined the Grand Emperor’s Blood Essence to vindicate his Dao to the Grand Emperor realm.

He would then come out for revenge and exterminate both the opposing families.

It was impossible for the Patriarch Shentu to

escape halfway.

“Let’s work together to break the thunder clouds,” Patriarch Yuwen said.

An avatar then formed behind him.

Patriarch Shentu nodded and similarly summoned a massive avatar.

The two avatars attacked the thunder clouds

together.

Following a deafening blast, the thunderclouds in the sky and the two avatars

disappeared.

Seeing Patriarch Yuwen and Patriarch Shentu

working together to break through his killer move, the Supreme Grand Patriarch’s expression sank.

He had been able to gain the upper hand when

he fought patriarch Yuwen, but when Patriarch Shentu interfered, things got tricky.

Under the situation where the two of them joined forces, although they couldn’t kill him immediately, he was certain that if the battle dragged on for too long, he would have to

kneel no matter how strong he was in Lightning Dao.

A Ninth-grade Pre-Emperor has its limits as

well. When his energy was exhausted, his death would arrive.

Seeing the embarrassed look on the Supreme Grand Patriarch’s face, Patriarch Yuwen could not help but say, “Ye Zhen, it looks like you won’t be able to hold on much longer.” Previously, it was Ye Zhen who had mocked

him. Now that Ye Zhen was at a disadvantage, he had to ridicule him back no matter what.

Patriarch Shentu also said, “Ye Zhen, why aren’t you surrendering?! It’s already extremely difficult to cultivate to the

Ninth-grade of the Pre-Emperor realm. There’s no need to die here for the blood

essence.”

“Hand over the blood essence and we’ll split

it evenly. It’ll be beneficial to all three of us,” Patriarch Shentu said.

The Grand Supreme Patriarch chuckled. “You make it sound nice. Let me ask you. If the

Shentu family gets the blood essence of the

Grand Emperor, will you give it to the Ye family and the Yuwen family? I’m afraid not? I’m sure you know how precious the Grand Emperor’s Blood Essence is, right?” Patriarch Shentu’s words were pleasant to hear.

If the Shentu family were to obtain the Grand Emperor’s Blood Essence, they would definitely be like the Ye family and would not hand it over even if they had to die.

The blood essence was just too tempting. They had cultivated for countless years and

all they wanted was to reach the Grand Emperor realm!

How could they let go of such an easy opportunity to become a Grand Emperor? Even if there was a one in ten thousand

chance, they would still give it a try. Although it was somewhat irrational, they were still cultivators who seized the opportunity of a lifetime.

No one would not let go of any chance to

become stronger! The Supreme Grand Patriarch continued, “Let’s not talk about whether I will hand over

the Grand Emperor’s Blood Essence. Old Dog

Shentu, aren’t you afraid?”

Patriarch Shentu was puzzled, “I’m afraid?

What am I afraid of? I’m just afraid that you won’t hand over the blood essence.” “You’re only an Eighth-grade Pre-Emperor. That Old Dog Yuwen is already a Ninth-grade Pre-Emperor. Aren’t you afraid that the Yuwen family will turn against you after you join forces with them to kill me?” The Supreme Grand Patriarch squinted his eyes and continued, “You must know

that

either you or your family are no match for the Yuwen family, or the Ye family.” The Supreme Grand Patriarch also could not

understand why the Shentu family would dare to join forces with the Yuwen family.

Had he considered the chances of the Yuwen family betraying them?

The Shentu family should know how bad the

Yuwen family’s reputation was among the five great families.

The Yuwen family had always been known as

the family of the villains among the five great families.

He did not believe that the Patriarch Shentu did not know about this.
