Upon hearing that childish and evil voice, whether it was Bloodbath or the remaining two hall masters, their countenance suddenly changed, especially the two hall masters that were celebrating earlier.

Due to that voice, the two hall masters couldn't help but shiver as their limbs went limp. They recognized that voice; with fear still spread through their bodies, the two hall masters including Bloodbath found themselves unable to believe the scene that just transpired in front of them.

The scene where Ling Chen's body that was cut in half suddenly disappeared and turned into what seemed to be a long dark tree root.

With a look of disbelief on their faces, they simultaneously and blanky looked down towards the source of the voice.

Astonishingly, The first thing they saw was Ling Chen who was looking at them with an indifferent expression on his face while he held the 4th hall master in the air with his right hand despite his short and small physique.

At this moment, though he was already dead, the 4th hall master was unrecognizable. He was nothing but skin and bone. He looked like someone that has been dead for decades. His blood and his life essence were completely sucked dry as he wrinkled up and ended up as a dry empty husk.

While looking at the fate of their fallen comrade, shock and terror flashed across the two hall masters' eyes. They didn't even have to guess or speculate as they already knew what happened to the 4th hall master.

And just by thinking about it made their bodies froze as a cold chill ran down their spines.

What a terrifying demonic power!

A demonic power that enabled a warrior to devourer the life essence and blood of another warrior and turned them into his own power. Which in turn, transformed that warrior into a pile of skin and bone once all these things had been extracted and devoured.

Even though assassins like them were usually ready to do anything to become stronger, they still had some limits, otherwise, what would be the difference between them and a mindless beast.

They also understand that while some people might not be able to stand that demonic power, some people would gasp amazement at that demonic power like their supreme hall master. And if they ever had a chance to learn it, they would be delighted to do so. This was the world of warriors, at the end of the day, only strength mattered.

Looking at Ling Chen's vicious gaze, the two hall masters remained vigilant. If it wasn't for the fact that their life and death was controlled by the supreme hall master, they would have long run with their tails between their legs.

Meanwhile, Bloodbath's eyes were filled with a cold light as he was staring at back at Ling Chen. Even though he had realized what just happened when Ling Chen's body suddenly turned into a long dark tree root, he still had no idea how Ling Chen was able to substitute his body with a long dark tree root at the last minute.

Was it a battle technique or another one of his innate demonic powers?

At this moment, Bloodbath suddenly came to a frightening conclusion, the longer he fought with Ling Chen, the more he realized how frightened and dangerous this little child was. There was nothing normal about him. Whether it was his weird abilities, his demonic eyes and his dark energy, none of them seemed to come from this world. His very existence seemed to defy reasons and the laws of this world. Looking at Ling Chen, Bloodbath suddenly turned mute as he was lost for words.

Furthermore, with his vicious gaze, Bloodbath could tell that Ling Chen has gotten stronger again. Also, although he has gotten more powerful, he still wasn't a match to him. He still missed that last step.

Right now, his priority was to kill Ling Chen before he could kill and absorb the life essence of the remaining two hall masters. And if that were to happen, things might get very dangerous for him.

" Don't worry, just sit tight and relax. Your time is coming next. I Like saving the best for last." Ling Chen said with a sinister smile on his face as he looked at the angry and furious Bloodbath.

Bang!"

The moment his words landed, the glint in Ling Chen's eyes turned evil and ferocious as an astonishingly powerful surge of spiritual pressure burst like a gale from his body.

At the same time, a pitch-black aura that seemed like a black evil-looking cloud blazed out from within his body as well and shrouded him. An indescribable pressure swept out from his body. Under this demeanor, the entire space looked as though it had trembled. Meanwhile, the surrounding poisonous fog, as well as the surrounding True qi energy, receded like a tidal wave as if they were afraid or pushed back by the powerful and evil dark energy released by Ling Chen's body.

Even the ground beneath Ling Chen's feet caved in as a series of cracks spread over the ground due to his immense spiritual pressure and aura.

Bang!"

Without any notice, Ling Chen's body suddenly vaulted off the ground as he flew upward like an eagle with absolute speed.

His speed was simply too fast. Even Bloodbath was amazed by Ling Chen's extreme speed and had a difficult time to keep up with him in naked eyes. And Before they had the chance to react, Ling Chen was already behind the 3rd hall master who was a bit further away from Bloodbath and the 2nd hall master.

Bloodbath's facial expression changed at Ling Chen's sudden action. Not to mention him, the 3rd hall master was scared shitless the moment he realized that Ling Chen was behind him. It was as if the soul reaper had come to pay him a visit.

Though he wasn't as strong as the supreme hall master, he was still the 3rd strongest assassin within the Bloodbath assassin's guild with the strength of a peak middle stage Martial Venerable realm.

"Die, you animal." The 3rd hall master snarled in fury as he swiftly turned around and stabbed toward Ling Chen with his long curved blade while his eyes were filled a boundless killing intent and hatred.

The long blade exuded an endless fire true qi energy as it illuminated the night sky. From this fact alone, one could tell the 3rd hall master had awakened the fire domain.

Looking at the incoming attack, instead of trying to dodge it, Ling Chen raised his hand as though he was trying to catch the flaming sword with his bare hand.

Upon seeing Ling Chen's action, the third hall master had a sinister grin on his face.

Trying to catch a Heaven rank weapon infused with fire true qi with his bare hand, wasn't the little bastard a bit too conceited!

Bang!

However, the next moment, the countenance of the 3rd hall master suddenly changed. The moment his heaven rank weapon infused with his powerful fire true qi collided with Ling Chen's right hand. It suddenly stopped unable to bulge not even inch as if it has met the hardest metal in the world.

"If it was before, I wouldn't dare to catch such a powerful attack with my bare hand. However, with my current strength, your powerful attacks are merely child's play." Ling Chen uttered with a smug look on his face.

At the same time, Ling Chen's five fingers suddenly turned into five long dark tree roots that coiled around the 3rd hall master's weapon like poisonous snakes.

" No!" Shouted the 3rd hall master as if he had just realized what was about to happen. His body was insanely shaken. He tried to escape by letting go of his weapon but at that moment, the dark tree roots were already coiling all over his body and constricted him.

Ahh...

In a flash, a pitiful bellow resounded in the air as the dark tree roots turned into a bloodsucking plant monster, absorbing the blood and life essence of the 3rd hall master at a shocking rate. The 3rd hall master's face distorted in pain and he looked very terrified. His body was violently shaking but one could see that he was powerless.

Meanwhile, Ling Chen looked like a greedy demon who was enjoying the taste of human blood and life essence.

A moment later, the 3rd hall master's body turned into a pile of skin and bone as Ling Chen threw him on the ground. At the same time, Ling Chen recalled the dark tree roots back within his body as his fingers and hand returned to normal. He took a deep a long breath while looking intoxicated with euphoric happiness.

Although it might have taken a long time to explain, all of this happened really fast. it wouldn't be wrong to say it all happened in an instant.

"Little demon spawn, I'll kill you." Bloodbath's expression turned ice-cold as he roared. At the same time, a raging Battle Will suddenly soared into his body as he pounced toward Ling Chen with his large bloody battle Ax.

Meanwhile,

"Fuck that shit! I'd rather be killed by the Soul Devouring poison than be absorbed by that little demon." Said the 2nd hall master as he ran with his tails between his legs leaving Bloodbath to face Ling Chen alone.

After seeing the gruesome and inhumane death of the four hall masters, the 2nd hall master didn't dare to face Ling Chen. He didn't want to have his blood and life essence sucked dry by that little demon.

He would rather be killed by the soul-devouring poison that was implanted within his sea of consciousness by the Supreme hall master, at least his complete corpse would be left behind after his death rather than skin and bone. Not to mention there's still three months before that damn poison flared off. There's still hope.
