Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City
Chapter 378 - 377: Previous Causes

Chapter 378: Chapter 377: Previous Causes

The Mermaid sneered coldly, and as her voice fell, numerous Half Mermaids suddenly emerged densely from the ruins.

This was a trap, designed by Holy Daughter Zi Yue from the beginning.

First, test that human in the Skeletal Palace, then move to the Atlantis Ruins.

This old man plotted to have someone kill her, but isn’t she daring enough to kill this old man?

Today, she was left with no choice.

The Half Mermaid race is powerful, but their cultivation is really nothing special.

Fighting Lin Hao, she already discovered that her racial power was useless against this young man, and in a real fight, she would definitely be no match for Lin Hao.

Afraid of death?

That’s definitely false.

Half Mermaids fear death too.

"If you take another step forward, I’ll kill him!" Holy Daughter Zi Yue threatened fiercely, staring straight into Lin Hao’s eyes.

"You think, I would care about his life?"

Lin Hao chuckled lightly and continued to step forward.

The more things progressed, the more Lin Hao didn’t understand.

However, this Mermaid talking about attacking Death Island, must be a deception; Death Island is fine now, and Lin Hao felt reassured.

He truly didn’t care about this old man’s life.

As he spoke, Lin Hao took another step forward.

In the deep sea, he moved as if on flat land.

With each step, a ring of waves erupted.

"Don’t care? Don’t you want to leave this sea area? I tell you, the only way to leave is known by him alone. If I kill him, from today onwards, you will also be trapped here for ten thousand years." Holy Daughter Zi Yue sneered, her right hand waved, and a Fish Bone Blade appeared in her hand, lightly placed against the old man’s heart.

The old man looked much weaker than before, with a blade against his heart, yet he didn’t react at all.

"Take one more step, and I’ll take his life!" Amid her words, Holy Daughter Zi Yue pressed the Fish Bone Blade closer to the old man’s heart, a bit of fresh blood seeped from the blade’s sharp point, dispersing into the sea.

Utter nonsense.

Lin Hao really didn’t understand why this Mermaid was threatening him with the old man’s life.

A way to leave this sea area?

Doesn’t the Death Island clan also know it?

And what does he have to do with this old man?

This old man’s identity is mysterious, and his power is vast; Lin Hao indeed intended to take such a person under his wing to expand his own forces.

However, it’s not like he absolutely has to.

"Kill him, as you please. After you kill him, I’ll kill you, and I can leave here just the same." Lin Hao chuckled coldly and took another step forward.

This time, Holy Daughter Zi Yue was confused.

This human genuinely did not care about the old man’s life!

But, the old man had integrated the Holy Artifact of the Atlantis race into this human’s body, allowing him to resist the Divine Techniques she deployed. Could the old man have misjudged?

What exactly is the deal here?

Holy Daughter Zi Yue frowned slightly, her expression turning ugly.

This was awkward. Lin Hao took a step forward, and Holy Daughter Zi Yue’s Bone Knife couldn’t pierce the old man’s heart – her threat turned into a joke!

"You..."

She wanted to say that if he took another step forward, she would really take the old man’s life, but she felt it was inappropriate even after uttering one word.

"What about me? Aren’t you going to kill him?" Lin Hao sneered coldly, took another step forward pressing each step: "Go on, strike."

In an instant, the atmosphere in the underwater ruins gradually solidified.

Holy Daughter Zi Yue’s peerlessly stunning face alternated between shades of red and green.

Kill?

Can I really kill him?

She merely suspected that this human must have at least a master-disciple relationship with the old man or received the Racial Holy Body from him, and was likely being controlled by the old man somehow.

But now, this human is not threatened at all!

How difficult it has been for the Half-Mermaid tribe to survive till today, how could Holy Daughter Zi Yue not know?

Knowing that people from Death Island were attacking the Skeletal Palace, why did she dismiss her tribe, feign attacks elsewhere, and stay alone in the Skeletal Palace fighting hundreds of people?

If she intended to fight to the death, she would have done so at the Skeletal Palace long ago.

Now?

Fighting was not an option, as in the Skeletal Palace, she already knew Lin Hao’s strength was far beyond hers; if not for possessing the Holy Artifact, she would have lost long ago.

But, not fighting, would it mean waiting for extinction?

The Half-Mermaid tribe, why did they betray Atlantis?

Wasn’t it all for living well?

Death? Extinction? These were never in Holy Daughter Zu Yue’s plans.

But now, she felt like she was walking on a dead-end road.

Why it came to this, Holy Daughter Zu Yue couldn’t understand.

In a confused blur, a human appeared, and in a confused blur, these humans wanted to exterminate the Half-Mermaid tribe, then in a confused blur, this human obtained the Power of Atlantis!

Holy Daughter Zi Yue bit her lip tightly, her mind in complete disarray.

Suddenly, a cry of alarm came from beside her, she instinctively felt a bad premonition, and then darkness fell before her eyes, as a figure swiftly approached.

"Bang!"

A tremendous force instantly struck her.

Holy Daughter Zi Yue felt as if she had been hit by a meteor, vomiting blood and her body flew backwards!

"If you wanted to kill him, you would have had countless opportunities, why wait till today?"

Lin Hao now stood where Holy Daughter Zi Yue had been, holding the Bone Knife that should have been in her hands, looking at the thrown Holy Daughter Zi Yue and chuckled coldly, "This Bone Knife is nice, I’ll take it."

"How dare you!"

"Seeking death!"

"Return the Holy Sword immediately!"

From all sides, whether it was the ugly Mermaids or those beautiful Mermaids, at that moment, they all erupted in anger, numerous people pointing at Lin Hao and roaring, but, nobody dared to charge forward.

"Want it? Come and take it," Lin Hao chuckled and turned his gaze to an elder on the Obelisk beside him.

From start to finish, the elder watched everything, unmoving, not even uttering a word.

All of this left Lin Hao quite confused.

Confused, confusedly came to this place, confusedly made enemies with the Half-Mermaids, confusedly received the old man’s bestowed power, confusedly agreed to help clean up.

And then, still confused, pursued the Half-Mermaid tribe back to this place.

Now, Lin Hao discovered, these Half-Mermaids moved through Atlantis as if no one was around.

They could easily kill this old man and even exterminate the Atlantis race.

But, these Half-Mermaids didn’t do so.

Even just now, that supremely beautiful Mermaid, with the Bone Knife at the old man’s heart, faced with Lin Hao’s threat, was actually thrown out without killing the old man.

Confused!

All of this made Lin Hao feel like a chess piece, controlled by an invisible pair of hands in the unknown, only now realizing the mystery within.

"Tell me, what’s happening, otherwise, I’ll kill you."

The Fish Bone Blade was once again pressed against the old man’s heart, but the one holding the knife had become Lin Hao.
