Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 265 - Black-Robed Man



"Strange. I have traveled for five days, yet the distance didn't seem to reduce at all." On the top of the tall ancient tree, Yun Lintian cast his gaze over the black fog spot at the center of the forest. His brows furrowed together as he didn't understand what was going on.

During these five days, Yun Lintian moved straight toward the center. Except for some profound beasts and participants, he didn't encounter anything else, but soon, he noticed something was amiss. 

At first, he seemed to draw closer to the destination. However, he found the distance between him and the forest center remained the same in the next moment. 

His first thought was a formation, but he didn't find anything with Eyes of Heaven. This made him puzzled until now.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Yun Lintian noticed a movement several kilometers away through his Spiritual Sense. "Qin Yiran? Heaven Profound Beast?"

In the distance was Qin Yiran fighting with a man clad in a black robe. When Yun Lintian concentrated on the black-robed man, he instantly discovered this person was a human form of the Heaven Profound Beast. This was the second one he had seen after Yin Fei.

The battle between them was in stalemate. Although the black-robed man had a higher realm, he could hardly suppress Qin Yiran as the latter possessed a powerful sword intent.

"Human, you're courageous enough to approach this place. However, I will show you how foolish you are to interrupt my lord resting." The black-robed man's figure swayed slightly, and countless dark profound lights appeared in the thin air, shooting straight at Qin Yiran.

Under Qin Yiran's calmness, there was a hint of pride and absolute confidence. Even though she was facing a powerful Heaven Profound Beast, she wasn't agitated in the slightest.

Qin Yiran flicked her wrist slightly, and a long sword in her hand produced a resonance, creating a group of lethal sword shadows before they charged at the incoming profound lights.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The massive sword shadows and profound lights had collided with each other head-on, and the impact swept all the surrounding trees away instantly.

Amidst clouds of dust, Qin Yiran and the black-robed man continued to send out their offensive techniques, aiming to reap each other's life, but they couldn't get out of the deadlock in the end. The previous fierce and direct battle now became a battle of persistence.

Yun Lintian's eyes narrowed, staring at the black-robed man. He could see it clearly. This man was holding back his power as though he wanted to study Qin Yiran thoroughly before finishing her… What did he say earlier? Interrupting his lord resting? Who is that?

Though Yun Lintian didn't know who the lord the black-robed man was talking about was, this person definitely knew how to reach the center of the forest. Without further ado, Yun Lintian's figure flashed, rushing to Qin Yiran at lightning speed.

"Not bad for someone who has been regarded as the number one person in the younger generation." The black-robed man crossed his arms in front of him, glancing down at Qin Yiran arrogantly.

Qin Yiran flipped backward and landed on the ground. She raised her head to look at the black-robed man, who was floating in the air with a frown. "You know me?"

The black-robed man gave a disdain chuckle. "Of course, we know you, Qin Yiran… And it's not only you…." He dragged his voice as he continued. "We also know everyone who came here. All of you have been under our eyes for a long time now."

Qin Yiran's mind turned. She immediately understood there was a traitor among the participants, and it wasn't difficult to guess. It must be those people from the Peng clan. Thinking of this, she also had the same question as Yun Lintian. The Peng clan didn't fear exposing the connection between them and the profound beasts at all?

As if he saw through Qin Yiran's thoughts, the black-robed man laughed. "Haha. You think we can't control this trash formation?"

Qin Yiran's face changed slightly. No wonder the Peng clan wasn't fear about it at all. It turned out they could control the surveillance formation at will.

"Alright, let's end this. I thought you were different from other ants. Tsk, you are just a little stronger ant." The black-robed man shook his head regretfully. He waved his hand, and a deadly dark profound light appeared behind him. This time, it was several times stronger than before.

When Qin Yiran saw this, her intuition told her she would definitely die under this profound light. The best way for her was to escape immediately.

As the black-robed was about to put the death sentence on Qin Yiran, he suddenly felt something dangerous was about to hit him. He hurriedly twisted his body to avoid a spear attack that came out of nowhere.

Puff!

Even though his reaction's speed was fast enough, the black-robed man could not entirely dodge the spear force. A large wound immediately appeared on his waist as he stabilized himself in the air several meters away.

"Not bad. Run fast enough." The owner of the spear attack was no other than Yun Lintian, who secretly arrived nearby with Shadow Step.

He landed on the ground before Qin Yiran and stared at the black-robed man. He didn't continue to launch another attack because he had missed the best opportunity already.

Qin Yiran was surprised to see Yun Lintian, but it lasted for a moment before her mind returned to the black-robed man. 

"You are…" The black-robed man's eyes narrowed as if he tried to recall Yun Lintian's information.

"My name is Yun Lintian. Ring any bell?" Yun Lintian simply introduced himself. Naturally, he heard everything the black-robed man said earlier.

"Yun Lintian… I see. You are the unknown factor." The black-robbed man slowly nodded his head. "Since you've appeared here, let me send you to hell."

"I really wonder where is your confidence comes from?" Yun Lintian pointed at the boulder not far away and continued. "Is it because of this lousy killing formation?"

Yun Lintian's words caused the black-robed man's expression to change drastically.
