Chapter 482 - 262: The Sea of Deathly Sands_2
A team enclosed them, and the middle-aged man leading them started to laugh heartily with a triumphant look on his face.
On the carriage, the old man glanced at everyone and spoke gravely, “Five first-class masters and twelve second-class ones, they are determined to get us this time.”
Then he turned to the woman, urgently saying, “Miss, when the time comes, this old servant will cover you. Find a chance to escape in another direction.” “Run? Where are you planning to run to?”
“Chen De, if you were in your prime, I, Ma Qiang, would have to make a detour upon seeing you. As for now, hehe…” The middle-aged man sneered, there was no attempt to hide the mockery on his face.
He then looked at the woman in the carriage and said, “Miss Chen, as long as you hand over the Ancient Divine Key, I can let you go today!”
“Do you think I will believe you? The Ma family killed more than a hundred from the Chen family. Today, even if I die, I won’t give you anything.” The woman’s expression was icy; she drew her longsword, prepared to take action.
The situation was tense, with both sides ready to strike.
No one noticed that a kilometer away, a black eagle silently transformed into a youngster on a withered ancient tree.
“Ancient Divine Key?”
“Interesting, I’ve just arrived and immediately run into such a brawl over treasure.”
Su Nan became interested after hearing the conversation between the two parties.
“Indeed, just like the information provided by the Tiangong Pavilion, the number of bloodline warriors here is scarce, most of them are ordinary people.”
His gaze scanned around. In his eyes, among the fifty or so people present, only three were bloodline warriors.
The man called Chen De, the middle-aged man who claimed to be Ma Hua, and the woman.
The old man was at an early stage of the Spirit Level, the middle-aged man was at the peak of the Mortal Level, and the woman was only at the middle stage of the Mortal Level.
As for the rest, without exception, they all were ordinary people who had not merged with bloodlines.
However, there was a strange aura emanating from them all, despite the absence of any bloodlines.
“Hmph, you refuse the toast only to drink a forfeit! Since you wish to die, I’ll grant your wish!”
Seeing the woman showed absolutely no intention of handing over the item, the middle-aged man known as Ma Qiang snorted coldly. He waved his hand, and those following him moved to action.
“Miss, be careful!”
The battle was about to break out.
The two sides were uneven in numbers. As soon as the fight began, the side of the old man was pressured and, in just a moment, some were injured.
Su Nan observed that although those ordinary people had not fused with bloodlines, their combat skills were very rich, and they all responded quickly.
At the same time, as these people made their moves, faint blood light surrounded their bodies!
The blood lights of five people were especially thick, and the strength they exploded with was extremely powerful, comparable to those at the middle stage of the Mortal Level!
“Is this what they mean by a first-class master?”
“The people in this space do indeed have some skills to have the strength of the middle stage of the Mortal Level without fusing with a bloodline.”
Su Nan nodded.
Even those at the middle stage of the Mortal Level should not be underestimated. Fusing two kinds of bloodlines, ordinary people would not even have the capability to resist them.
There was no suspense in this fight.
Although the old man was at the early stage of the Spirit Level, like Ma Qiang said, he was heavily injured. The strength he could utilize was only at the peak of the Mortal Level, barely keeping up with Ma Qiang.
And that woman, with the strength of the middle stage of the Mortal Level, was entangled by two so-called first-class masters. She could barely parry and had no chance to counterattack.
Not long after the fight began, people on the old man’s side were killed one after another.
Seeing this, the old man mysteriously increased his strength, not only repelling Ma Qiang who was fighting him, but even killing the two warriors attacking the woman in an instant.
But instead of being happy, the old man shouted, “Miss, get away quickly, I will hold them off!”
“Uncle De, be careful!”
The woman hesitated a little, but finally bit her lip and escaped through the gap made by the old man.
Time was of the essence. If they wasted another second here, they might perish today. Ma Qiang was chasing her. As long as she left, the old man would have a chance to escape.
With the old man’s help, the woman broke through the encirclement and swiftly fled towards one side.
Strangely enough, she was running in the direction where Su Nan was.
This was not intentional on the woman’s part, but the direction Su Nan was in was indeed the easiest route for the woman to escape.
“Capture them, dead or alive!”
Ma Qiang shouted, hoping to give chase himself, but he was entangled by the old man.
Luckily, the secret technique the old man was using to increase his strength didn’t last long, and his power was now rapidly waning. Ma Qiang seized the opportunity to kick the old man’s chest, sending him flying.
If this had happened before, he would have definitely taken this chance to kill the old man, but now he didn’t have time to deal with him.
In his eyes, the old man before him was already like a fish on a chopping board, to be slaughtered at will. The most important thing right now was to capture that woman.
After sending the old man flying with one move, he chased after the swiftly escaping woman.
“Someone from the Ma family?”
The woman had only run a few steps when she noticed Su Nan upon the tree, causing her to feel slightly concerned.
Su Nan made no attempt to hide his presence, and the woman naturally spotted him at first glance on the tree.
Her initial reaction was fear, believing that Su Nan was also from the Ma family. However, after seeing that Su Nan didn’t seem intent on attacking her, she felt a sense of relief.
Although she found it odd when and why Su Nan appeared here, now was not the time to think about such things. Ignoring Su Nan, the woman continued to run.
Soon after, the middle-aged man named Ma Qiang, along with about thirty subordinates, followed in pursuit. Upon seeing Su Nan, they all paused in surprise.
“Who’s this kid?”
Ma Qiang frowned, not having much time to ponder, quickly commanded, “No matter who you are, having seen things you shouldn’t have, it’s just too bad for you. Kill him!”
Upon receiving the command, two warriors rushed towards Su Nan.
One who stands on a tree invites disaster from the earth.
A cold glint flickered in Su Nan’s eyes. His expression was calm as he casually glanced at the two approaching him.
In the next moment, the two warriors quietly hit the ground, not even able to let out a scream.
“What’s happening?”
Seeing this, Ma Qiang was taken aback.
Then he noticed something and his face paled.
“SpL.Spirit Level! You’re a Spirit Level Bloodline Warrior!”
He had been solely focused on chasing the woman just now and hadn’t paid attention to the aura emanating from Su Nan.
Now, with two of his subordinates dead, he finally realized that the person who had suddenly appeared was at the Spirit level!
Looking at the two corpses on the ground, Ma Qiang’s heart constricted.
A Secret Power System user!
The young man before him was a Bloodline Warrior of the Secret Power System, possessing the Power of Divine Soul!
Where did this monster come from?
Ma Qiang’s forehead broke out in a cold sweat as he urgently thought about the situation.
In this world, the number of Bloodline Warriors was extremely scarce, and among them, those who practiced the Secret Power System and possessed the Power of Divine Soul were even more rare. Any one of them was not someone an ordinary power could provoke.
“Spirit level? He’s a Spirit Level Warrior?”
Hearing Ma Qiang’s words, the other warriors’ faces also turned white. They stared intently at Su Nan, their expressions grim.
Ma Qiang’s heart sank, but then he thought of something and quickly calmed down.
Su Nan possessed a Pseudo-Breath Stone. In Ma Qiang’s eyes, Su Nan might be at the Spirit Level, but he was only at the early stage of Spirit Level.
Thinking of the powerful backing he had, he regained his confidence.
“I am Ma Qiang, a guardian leader of the Ma family. May I know who you are?” Ma Qiang stared at Su Nan, speaking in a questioning tone. He intentionally emphasized the words “Ma family” as if warning Su Nan not to meddle in this matter.
Su Nan descended from the tree, glanced at the crowd, and said: “What is this place?”
Having just arrived in this Land of the Lost, he needed to first get a detailed understanding of the situation here.
“What is this place?”
Upon hearing this, Ma Qiang was taken aback, not understanding why Su Nan would ask such a question.
For a moment, he even wondered if Su Nan was playing him.
Was there anyone in this world who didn’t know what this place was?
At this moment, the old man whom Ma Qiang had injured earlier also caught up.
After sensing Su Nan’s power, a look of delight appeared on his face. He quickly said:
“Young friend, we are from the Chen family. The Ma family has killed over a hundred of our members, and they are sworn enemies of our Chen family.. If you could help us today to eliminate these individuals, our Chen family will be greatly indebted to you in the future!”
