612: C612 Ambush

C612 Ambush

Nie Cang could only try his best. Although he couldn't guarantee that everything would be settled, now that he had settled the matter of the Chu Country's Western Front, he could finally feel at ease.

Even though there were still a lot of problems that he had yet to deal with, Nie Cang had already reached his limit. Even if Ye Tian came out of seclusion, he wouldn't scold him.

As for the Black Cloud Old Man that was mentioned by the people of Chu Country, Nie Cang still decided to go and check it out. Black Cloud Old Man's viciousness disgusted Nie Cang. If he could fight him, Nie Cang naturally wouldn't hold anything back.

"By the way, how is Chu King now?"

Suddenly, Nie Cang thought of the most important thing, which was the current situation of Chu King and Hsiang Yunjie.

Black Cloud Old Man had appeared in the Chu Country, and he had even attacked Hsiang Yunkong. Nie Cang was sure that Black Cloud Old Man wouldn't ignore Hsiang Yunjie.

Hsiang Yunjie and Ye Tian had the best relationship, and it was precisely because of Hsiang Yunjie's existence that the Heaven Burial Pavilion wouldn't spare any effort to help when the Chu Country was in trouble.

If something really happened to Hsiang Yunjie because of this incident, he would surely have a bad feeling when Ye Tian came out of his seclusion.

When he asked about Hsiang Yunjie, Hsiang Yunkong's expression turned ugly. After all, before this, they had not sensed any danger, so naturally, they would not have sent a message to the Imperial City without a reason.

When Black Cloud Old Man appeared, Hsiang Yunkong and the others were all trapped here and couldn't get out. They had no idea how Hsiang Yunjie was doing right now.

"Since we are all in such a difficult situation, I'm sure the king's life will surely be tough..."

Hsiang Yunkong's face was full of worry. After all, he knew Black Cloud Old Man's strength. It was impossible for him to lead his army back to the Imperial City.

In the face of true strength, the army of the mortal world was no longer useful. Under the attack of a mighty figure, a single breath of time was enough to topple mountains and overturn seas. These soldiers on the defensive line had no chance to attack in front of such a mighty figure.

If the efforts of the several generations of generals in the Western Front were to be exhausted, even without Black Cloud Old Man's appearance, the Chu Country would still be in danger!

"I will go to the Imperial City to take a look now. Don't worry, nothing will happen to them!"

After saying that, Nie Cang didn't dare to delay any longer. Even if it was because of Ye Tian's emotions, he had to reach the Imperial City now and confront Black Cloud Old Man.

Before the group of people saw Nie Cang leave, a black cloud suddenly appeared in front of Nie Cang. The black cloud was moving quickly in the air, and then an old man appeared.

This old man was wearing black clothes, and he was looking at Nie Cang with a faint smile on his face. The strength he displayed made Nie Cang even more cautious.

Back then, Nie Cang was also a Chu people, but he had never seen such a powerful Qi before in the Chu Country.

The black-clothed old man in front of him was even stronger than Ye Tian. Just by looking at Nie Cang's eyes, Nie Cang could already feel the aura of death descending upon him.

"The black-clothed old man!" Hsiang Yunkong immediately panicked. Although he was a garrison general, he still felt helpless when he saw the black-clothed old man.

After all, he had already seen the black-clothed old man's attack. If he let him attack again, it would only give Hsiang Yunkong the feeling of despair!

"Hehe, you're not a bad ant. You can remember who I am. But back then, you told me to pledge your loyalty to me. Now, it seems like this isn't the case..."

The black-clothed old man turned his head and looked at Hsiang Yunkong. He pointed his finger at Hsiang Yunkong. Before he touched Hsiang Yunkong, Nie Cang did not feel the circulation of his true qi. A bloody hole appeared on Hsiang Yunkong's shoulder blade.

Hsiang Yunkong's face was pale. He covered the bleeding wound and bit his lips without making a sound.

This situation made Nie Cang even more shocked. When Black Cloud Old Man attacked, he could not feel any True Qi. There were only two possibilities.

First, Black Cloud Old Man was not a cultivator, so he naturally could not communicate with true qi. Second, Black Cloud Old Man's means had exceeded the scope of true qi.

The first possibility was absolutely impossible. Nie Cang thought of the second possibility, and cold sweat flowed down his spine.

One should know that the strongest person in Cangyuan Continent, Ye Tian, was only at the ninth level of the Heavenly Profound Stage before he went into secluded cultivation. This was a realm that no one on the continent could match.

However, the connection between the Heavenly Profound Stage and the true qi was still the manifestation of true qi. Only those above the Heavenly Profound Stage would have a different reaction!

What Nie Cang thought was correct. The Black Cloud Old Man in front of him was precisely the strength of a Heavenly Lord Stage Level Four!0

"Ant, if it wasn't for my good mood today, I would have killed you on the spot. If you don't die, you can only thank these relatively strong kids..."

Black Cloud Old Man turned his eyes to Nie Cang. The way he looked at Nie Cang was completely different from the way he looked at Hsiang Yunkong.

Although he still looked at Nie Cang with disdain, this kind of disdain was only the expression of a superior being and a subordinate.

"I never thought that such an existence like you would appear in this barren land. I think my plan can still be carried out!"

Black Cloud Old Man was very excited. Previously, he thought that the cultivators in Cangyuan Continent were only as big as ants. Even the combination of the Golden Dragon Guard and the Golden Snake Guard made him look down on them.

When he saw Nie Cang. Black Cloud Old Man's thoughts changed. Now, he no longer had the same contempt towards Cangyuan Continent as before.

"Kid, I'll give you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. When you work under me, I'll give you benefits. When my goal is achieved, I won't even have a problem bringing you to the Heaven Realm."

Black Cloud Old Man looked at Nie Cang. He wanted to make Nie Cang his subordinate, but how could the latter let Black Cloud Old Man's idea succeed?

Nie Cang had never changed his mind when he was by Ye Tian's side. He wanted to advance and retreat together with the Heaven Burial Pavilion.

Black Cloud Old Man's words were like an order, causing Nie Cang to feel even more reluctant. At this moment, he cautiously looked at Black Cloud Old Man and didn't respond.

"Xi Guang, take West Suppressing King and leave quickly!"

Nie Cang suddenly attacked. The Slashing Dragon in his hand let out a long sword hum. The blade of the sword cut through the sky and attacked Black Cloud Old Man.

This sword was Nie Cang's greatest attack. It was like the assassin who assassinated feudal vassals in ancient times. He was ruthless and focused, and there was nothing in his eyes. There was only the target in front of him. The moment he succeeded, his life would fall.

Nie Cang was very focused. Although he knew that his attack could not kill Black Cloud Old Man, it was enough to give Hsiang Yunkong and Xi Guang a chance to escape.

At this moment, Hsiang Yunkong and Xi Guang both knew that Nie Cang was using his life to fight for the opportunity for the two of them. The two of them did not dare to delay any longer. They turned around and tried to escape.

However, just as Nie Cang thought that he had succeeded, Black Cloud Old Man smiled faintly. He didn't even make a move. A large black cloud behind him bound Nie Cang's hands and feet, causing Nie Cang's sneak attack to fail completely.

Adding everything together, Hsiang Yunkong and Xi Guang only had the time to turn around. This was what Black Cloud Old Man had done on purpose.

If they really wanted to attack, Black Cloud Old Man wouldn't even give them time to turn around. He would even control everyone present before Nie Cang attacked!
