"Not good!"
The white-haired old man's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly struck out with his sword again in midair.
Clang!
The sword's cry rang out sharply. His sword aura shattered, and the old man was struck as if by a heavy blow, spraying blood as he flew backward.
Screech!
The giant eagle let out a piercing cry and shot skyward. Lightning filled the heavens from its wings as it streaked toward the white-haired old man once more, the violent bolts surging forth like thunder dragons.
"It's over!" The white-haired old man watched the lightning streak toward him, his eyes filled with despair. Then, relief appeared on his weary face. "So be it. I finally can't hold on anymore. Dying is fine too—early or late, it's all death!"
Ever since the exotic beasts had invaded the Cloud Wild World, the martial artists of the Cloud Wild World had fought against them.
But the strongest in their world were merely in the True Man Realm. How could they withstand Heaven Penetrating Level and Form Transformation Level exotic beasts? In a short time, continent after continent had been destroyed. They could only retreat, retreating again and again.
Not until they had retreated to the Bloodred Continent did the powerful exotic beasts stop appearing.
Yet even those exotic beasts corrupted by sinister energy had already kept them endlessly occupied. Still, fortunately, they had persisted, defending the last remaining continent and fighting the exotic beasts with their lives on the line.
The old man was True Man Cang Xuan, one of the ten greatest True Man Realm experts in the Cloud Wild World.
Since the invasion began, he had led his clansmen in battle all the way. Companions had died, while others had fled, but now he too had finally reached his limit.
*Tired.
