Chapter 269

He laughed out loud and said to the two of them, "I never expected the Spirit of the Abyss to take action this time."

"Since the Spirit of the Abyss has acted, you will all be left without a place to be buried."

"Are you not very arrogant, wanting to wreak havoc on our Resentful Dragon clan? Since that is the case, today is your death day."

Hearing the Third Protector’s words, Lin Bai naturally would not yield. Although the thunderbolts in the sky caused him great trouble,

he could not let them hinder him now. He looked at Tai Xu Taixu Qingtian beside him and said,

"Tai Xu Taixu Qingtian, can you help me withstand these thunderbolts for a while? Once I have eliminated this fellow,"

"I will join forces with you to deal with this so-called Spirit of the Abyss."

Upon hearing "Spirit of the Abyss," even Tai Xu Taixu Qingtian’s eyes showed a hint of terror.

It seemed he had some understanding of this Abyss. Lin Bai did not know what was sealed inside,

but he could read some information from Tai Xu Taixu Qingtian’s eyes.

Even so, there was nothing to worry about; things had already reached this point.

There was no path of retreat. No matter how much fear there was, danger could not be avoided.

As the saying goes, wealth is sought in danger. Since they had decided to come here to seize treasures, they had to bear all the risks of this space.

Thinking of this, Tai Xu Taixu Qingtian nodded and said,

"I can only help you delay the Spirit of the Abyss for half an incense stick’s time at most."

"If you can take him down within half an incense stick’s time, perhaps we will still have the strength to fight."

"But if you cannot achieve victory within that time, we will have to find another way."

Lin Bai knew nothing about the Spirit of the Abyss, but he could tell from the eyes and words of these people

that this Abyss was something extraordinary.

He could also see a look of gravity in Tai Xu Taixu Qingtian’s eyes.

But just then, a powerful attack struck directly at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai could not dodge anymore, so he met it head-on.

He clashed with the Third Protector, and the demonic energy on Lin Bai’s body was instantly consumed by half.

The Third Protector was also severely injured at this moment and was driven back into the ground.

Seeing this, Lin Bai was about to enter the pit to take his life when a thunderbolt from the sky struck him again.

Tai Xu Taixu Qingtian stepped forward, and the golden light on his body erupted with a monstrous aura,

blocking the attack for Lin Bai. With a loud bang, Tai Xu Taixu Qingtian was struck down from the sky as if suffering a heavy blow.

He landed on the ground. If not for the fact that the aura on his own body was sufficiently strong,

his physical body would likely have suffered severe injury, but even so, he felt unprecedented pain.

Just when the thunder struck his body,

he had utilized the powerful spatial power of the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon clan within his body to transfer a portion of the thunder’s power.

This had barely saved him from a catastrophe, but the current situation exceeded his imagination.

The Spirit of the Abyss was truly terrifying. It had not even manifested its true form yet,

and merely relying on the thunder power from the sky had nearly crippled him.

If the Spirit of the Abyss were to act personally, he would likely have no power to fight back.

Thinking of this, a sense of worry arose in his heart.

He felt even more hesitant. After careful consideration, Lin Bai’s gaze became even more grave,

because he knew the thunder in the sky had a direct connection to the Spirit of the Abyss.

He had to resolve the Third Protector as quickly as possible. Lin Bai swung his fists and charged into the ground,

striking the Third Protector left and right with fierce blows.

Soon, the Third Protector breathed his last under Lin Bai’s heavy fists. Lin Bai was very decisive;

with a wave of his hand, he grabbed the other’s soul and stored it in his treasure gourd.

After collecting the soul, Lin Bai leaped up and looked intently at the sky,

at the lightning erupting from the Spirit of the Abyss, and said coldly, "I don't care what you are, I advise you to be sensible."

"We came here to obtain treasures, not to make an enemy of you."

"But if you continue to oppose me, I, Lin Bai, will naturally not let you off."

Lin Bai’s words were mighty and domineering. Above his head, a crimson bead floated.

The dazzling crimson light looked extremely eerie.

Seeing the crimson bead above Lin Bai’s head, even Tai Xu Taixu Qingtian felt it was inconceivable.

0 ..... ....

Because in the Demon race, those who could cultivate such a bead had to have strength at least at the Demon King realm.

But Lin Bai did not want to reveal his identity at this time, so he looked at Tai Xu Taixu Qingtian and said,

"You need not have any doubts or suspicions regarding my identity."

"When it is time for you to know, you will certainly know. You only need to know that you and I are friends, not enemies."

Hearing Lin Bai’s words, Tai Xu Taixu Qingtian nodded. In the current situation, the promise Lin Bai gave him

truly made him feel very happy. He looked at Lin Bai and said,

"You just provoked the Spirit of the Abyss; presumably, it now harbors hatred toward you."

"The powerhouses of my Tai Xu Ancient Dragon clan will soon enter this secret realm in large numbers."

"Why don't you come with me? That would reduce your risks."

Hearing this, Lin Bai shook his head. It was not that he did not want to follow the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon clan

to compete for treasures in this secret realm, but he knew that if he followed them now,

it might expose their identities. If he mixed with the Tai Xu Ancient Dragons,

then the matter of seizing treasures and opportunities in this space would have nothing to do with him. **Chapter 581: Nothing Venture, Nothing Gain**
