"Watch out!"

Junius of Nine Hells exclaimed.

No need for his reminder; Julius Reed had already sensed danger.

He turned around, and with a backhand, swung his sword!

Clang!

The sword and chain clashed, and sparks flew!

On the rooftop stood a man with disheveled hair, his hands bound by chains.

"Quentrell Davenport, you bastard, show yourself!"

The voice continued.

Both of them were stunned.

If the person bound by chains before them was the Blood-soul Emperor, then who was the one shouting?

If the shout was from the Blood-soul Emperor, who was launching a sneak attack?

A henchman of the Blood-soul Emperor?

Unlikely.

Clearly, the Blood-soul Emperor had not found their location.

If a henchman had, how could they not report to their boss?

The only explanation was that the two were unrelated.

"Who are you?" Julius Reed asked coldly, holding his sword in one hand.

"A blind man, quite formidable." The man nodded and said, "Who I am is not something you need to know. But today, you must die."

"Why should I die?" Julius Reed laughed, "Just because you want to kill me?"

"Exactly. You ants, if I say you die, you die."

The man suddenly turned!

The chain gleamed with gold and slammed down heavily!

Clang!

Julius Reed raised his longsword, clashed with the chain, and quickly spun!

The chain wrapped around the sword, pulled hard, and the man was dragged over instantly!

Crash!

A dazzling spark flared up, bringing the man and Julius Reed face-to-face!

"Some skill, not bad." The man sneered, then rapidly retreated!

The chains were all pulled apart.

They maintained a distance of about five meters.

The man’s eye twitched slightly, and he instantly lunged forward!

The rooftop suddenly gusted with wind without warning!

Soon after, lightning flashed and torrential rain poured down!

Julius Reed stood on the rooftop, inhaled deeply, and stepped forward!

Boom!

The rain dispersed.

Thunder faded away.

The wind ceased.

The brute strength made him immovable as a mountain, shattering these spiritual power fields!

"Five Elements Lord?" Junius of Nine Hells squinted, looking at the man in front.

"Who are you?" The Five Elements Lord shuddered, surprised someone recognized him.

Knowing that this body wasn’t his.

To be recognized by his moves meant they were certainly from the same era.

"Nine Hells."

Junius of Nine Hells clasped his fists, "Five Elements, is it really you?"

"You’re Nine Hells?" The Five Elements Lord was doubtful.

"You try." Junius of Nine Hells reached out and gently grasped.

"Hiss..." The Five Elements Lord shivered, raised his head, and looked at him, "You’re not dead!"

"My soul left my body and hides in my Lotus Platform. As for you, why do you look like this?" Junius of Nine Hells was curious, surprised the Five Elements Lord was also not dead.

Moreover, they had encountered one another.

"I... hehe." The Five Elements Lord shook his head, suddenly pointed at Julius Reed and looked at Junius of Nine Hells, "Do you know him? Do you know this blind swordsman?"

"I know him, a good friend. Touch him, and I’ll cut you." Junius of Nine Hells nodded.

"Someone asked me to kill him. If I kill him, I’d gain temporary freedom." After the Five Elements Lord spoke, the rooftop fell silent.

"Who?"

Julius Reed asked.

He was confident he could defeat the guy in front but needed to clarify some matters.

"Silvio Reed." The Five Elements Lord paused, then uttered the name he was unwilling to say.

"Silvio Reed?" Julius Reed was surprised at Silvio Reed’s name.

He wasn’t surprised Silvio Reed was arranging to kill him, but surprised at how Silvio Reed could entrap an ancient lord.

"You and Nine Hells are ancient masters; how did you become his killing machine?"

Julius Reed asked what he wanted to know.

"Yes, you and I had a decent relationship back then, skills not inferior to mine. How come now you look like this?" Junius of Nine Hells walked to the Five Elements Lord’s side, looked him over, and exclaimed, "Bind Immortal Lock?"

"Indeed." The Five Elements Lord raised his hands, revealing the dark chains.

"Back then, I thought I would die, but unexpectedly when my flesh vanished, my soul was sucked into the painting you gave me." The Five Elements Lord said coldly, "I must thank you, saved my life."

"Haha. Five Elements, don’t think too much. We’re friends, nothing more." Junius of Nine Hells said, slightly embarrassed.

"What happened between you two?" Julius Reed felt increasingly suspicious as he listened.

"That painting was a portrait of my daughter drawn by Junius of Nine Hells. This person has a quirk; he likes to imbue his paintings with his telekinesis. Though Nine Hells isn’t great as a person, his telekinesis is top-notch. He forcibly created a telekinesis space in the painting."

The Five Elements Lord turned his head, looking at Junius of Nine Hells, "It was precisely your telekinesis space that saved me, causing my soul to fall asleep. But unexpectedly, years later, Silvio Reed discovered the painting."

"He noticed the anomaly inside and awakened me. I thought I’d wake up in a new world, to call the wind and rain, but who would think Silvio Reed, that insidious person, had obtained the Bind Immortal Lock, made by the Nine Provinces King!"

"It bound me to this body! There was no escape from his grasp! For thousands of years, I’ve done many things for him."

The Five Elements Lord looked up, filled with helplessness.

"Now, he’s ordered me to kill this blind man. If I succeed, Silvio Reed promised me some freedom."

"Unexpectedly, Silvio Reed is so formidable." Julius Reed realized he didn’t understand Silvio Reed enough.

This man’s methods are strong, cruel, and ruthless!

He carried too many secrets.

Even the Silvio Reed seen by Trent Marsh and the one in Marcellus Lopez’s eyes were not the same person.

"Now, I have no choice but to act." The Five Elements Lord raised the chains, and the lightning flashed atop them. "Either you kill me for relief, or I kill you and return to report."

His voice was cold.

Clearly, the dignity of the lord had been trampled clean by Silvio Reed.

"No other choice?" Julius Reed didn’t want to eliminate someone who might be an ally.

"Nine Provinces King rules the Nine Provinces, crafted the Bind Immortal Lock to punish some top martial artists. Even an ancient lord’s soul can be bound. The Five Elements are locked by the Bind Immortal Lock, no solution." Junius of Nine Hells explained beside him.

Suddenly.

A gust of wind came!

The air was filled with the smell of blood!

"What’s going on?" The Five Elements Lord asked cautiously.

"Blood... Blood-soul Emperor is here." Junius of Nine Hells sounded somewhat tense, no longer his usual relaxed self.

As he spoke.

A puddle of blood suddenly appeared on the rooftop.

Next, the bloodwater coagulated into a person, slowly standing up.

"Quentrell Davenport."

A man in a blood-red robe raised a hand and pointed at Junius of Nine Hells.

The manner of his appearance made Julius Reed feel very familiar!

Back when tracking Granny Xihua, the blood of the gods formed into human shape seemed to be in the same manner!
