Chapter 1202 Blade Devil

The four shadow guards landed at the bottom of the white mist-filled valley.

"We were tricked. The avatar is too smart to be found."

They searched for his Resurrection Force, only to find that a low-level beast emitted the aura. Obviously, the Rule Soul Avatar had arranged this.

Almost immediately, wave after wave of Resurrection Force appeared in the range of their perception.

"Damn it. He is clever! He knew that we would track his Resurrection Force."

To avoid being detected, the Rule Soul Avatar had put his Resurrection Force into several beasts. This was the only explanation for why the four shadow guards sensed so many sources of the same Resurrection Force concurrently.

Considering the situation, they were unable to locate the Rule Soul Avatar by tracking the aura of his Resurrection Force.

The only clue that would lead them to the Rule Soul Avatar was lost.

Confused and unsure of how to circumvent the deceit, the four shadow guards glanced at each other. Just then, the Immortal Lord's voice materialized. "What's wrong with you four? Why haven't you killed him yet?" he asked through his spiritual sense.

His tone was laced with anger, which reflected his dissatisfaction with the four great shadow guards.

"My Lord, this avatar is quite shrewd. He always seems to know how we would track him, and he has used that knowledge to avoid being detected."

"He is in a cave three kilometers to your north. Hurry up and kill him," the Immortal Lord instructed after a moment of silence.

"Yes, My Lord!" The four shadow guards were too embarrassed to say anything else.

"It seems as though the Immortal Lord has asked the Blood Witcher for assistance."

"That's right. Only the Blood Witcher could detect his location so precisely."

"Let's not worry about all that now. We need to hurry up and kill him before something else goes wrong."

The four shadow guards flew north as specified by the Immortal Lord. With their speed, it took them three seconds to cover the three-kilometer distance and search all places.

"I found him. He's over there!"

There was a dark cave on the north side of the valley.

The Rule Soul Avatar sat cross-legged. Even though he sensed that someone had located him, he did not stop his cultivation. Instead, his silvery eyes continued to observe universal laws.

Bang!

All of a sudden, the Rule Soul Avatar's silvery eyes disappeared, and rage surged in his cold eyes.

"Face my wrath." The Rule

the four guards knew that they had to be polite.

The Primitive Wilderness was filled with several reclusive cultivators and ascetic cultivators who worked hard to cultivate. Some of them were really strong, and some were as powerful as the superior gods in the regions.

A man walked out of the fissure.

He was dressed in an old black robe and carried a broad knife on his back. The blade was pitted and resembled an old wood cutting tool.

The four shadow guards stared at him in unison. The middle-aged man with messy hair terrified them.

"Sir, are you a friend of his?"

"No, I'm not."

"Then why do you protect him?"

"You ask too many questions," the man remarked gruffly.

"But, sir, if you stop us from completing our mission, I'm afraid that you'll displease the Immortal Lord," one of the shadow guards said. He wanted the man to know that they were following the Immortal Lord's orders with the hopes that he wouldn't stop them from executing their task.

"Tell him that the Blade Devil is waiting for him here." The middle-aged man in the black robe clasped his hands and appeared calm.

"The Blade Devil!"

one of the shadow guards shouted.

It was such a resounding name that they felt as though they were being bombarded by lightning.

Up until now, they had assumed that the Blade Devil was a legend. The fact that he still existed was too terrible to comprehend.

"Sir, I would not dare to disobey you. We are leaving now."

Without further delay, the four shadow guards flew away.

The Rule Soul Avatar flew forward, and in his typical indifferent tone, he said, "Thank you. I'll repay you in the future."
