At that moment, even the howling battlefield seemed to go silent.
This man was wearing dark robes that hid his identity; however, the peculiar feature that everyone noticed at first glance was the mask he wore. This mask, a demonic visage carved in crimson, its curved fangs glinting under the fractured moonlight.
A chill ran through every heart as everyone stopped fighting amongst themselves to look at the unidentified cultivator.
"Who are you?!" The leader of the Tian Jian Tribe, Tian Jian Kong, yelled towards the unidentified man. "Don't you know it is forbidden for an emperor realm cultivator to intervene in this expedition?! Do you wish to defy the Empire's decree itself?!"
The masked man didn't reply.
He only turned his head slightly — and the air cracked.
Crackle!
Red lightning burst to life around him, wrapping his body like living serpents of destruction.
Before Tian Jian Kong could even react—
Szzzt!
