Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)
Chapter 1354 Careless

The black-robed man was immersed in his thoughts. The first thing I'm going to do, once I fully recover after refining the Earth Goddess and ascending to the Emperor Realm, is eliminate that Little Ruler of Hell. I need her gone! She could easily cause a massive upheaval to all my schemes!

Suddenly, a faint sound of something breaking through the air echoed in his ears. He stiffened as he instantly felt a chill down his spine. Alas, it was far too late to dodge!

Boom!

His head exploded.

He never expected someone to ambush him right here, especially after confirming that there was no danger just moments ago!

The black-robed man's revenant revealed itself as he used all the cards up his sleeves to flee. He didn't even hesitate to use a secret technique just for that sole purpose alone. Fortunately, he did just that as he managed to narrowly avoid yet another fatal blow!

"It's you!"

Once Blake attacked, he also stepped out of the Concealing Formation. Nonetheless, that wasn't the same for Jean and Crawford Ancestor.

Blake curled his lips into a cruel smirk as he sneered, "Long time no see, little trash."

Then, he continued mercilessly, "Someone like you has always been unworthy to see the light of day. Still, I truly didn't expect that you would amount to absolutely nothing after all these years." He stared at the black-robed man menacingly.

He had been searching for his baby for days, only to replace out that she was hiding from this guy.

Blake was initially worried for her safety. Still, after he heard the black-robed man's curses, it seemed that this trash had been severely beaten by Lilly and Ivan.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief upon arriving at that realization. The fact that the black-robed man had to escape in such a miserable state meant that his baby had emerged victorious.

Since she had won, there was a chance she was gravely injured. Regardless, her life was not in danger. Otherwise, this cunning black-robed man would have taken the opportunity to take his baby's life instead of fleeing like the wretched scum he was.

The black-robed man was furious as he snarled, "Emperor Prosper!"

Blake simply raised his hand as his weapon, Dark Flame Sword, appeared in his hands.

Then, he donned a mocking smile as he retorted, "I'm right here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he struck the black-robed man with his flaming sword.

The black-robed man was severely injured after his battle with Lilly and Ivan. Plus, Blake had gotten a hit just mere moments ago. So, his body was already in tatters. As a result, he could no longer maintain his physical form.

He turned into a shadow. He didn't look like a human, nor did he possess the characteristics of a ghost. Instead, he was merely a shapeless blob.

"You!"

However, the black-robed man knew very well that he couldn't afford to entangle with Blake at the moment. The only correct choice was to escape immediately.

He had never been reduced to such a pathetic state. He was already in the Late Emperor Realm. So, he genuinely couldn't understand why he would be repeatedly suppressed or beaten by one or two individuals who were merely Early Emperor Realm cultivators!

D*mn it!

The shadow pretended to be furious, transforming into a huge shadow and lunging toward Blake!

Jean covered her mouth inside the Concealing Formation, afraid that she would scream and expose her location. If that happened, she would only cause trouble for Blake!

Meanwhile, Crawford Ancestor couldn't replace it in himself to remain on the sidelines. Besides, he had already discovered just what realm Blake was currently in. The man was only an Early Emperor Realm cultivator! There was no way he could come out on top against someone like the black-robed man.

Although he was just a Hades Realm practitioner, he couldn't just watch idly by as Blake got hurt.

It just so happened that the shadow had turned its back to the duo that was hiding within the Concealment Formation.

Hence, he truly didn't even notice just when Crawford Ancestor popped out. Crawford Ancestor knew that he currently had the upper hand due to the shadow's negligence. So, he didn't hesitate to take advantage of such an oversight as he tossed a "bomb" right at the shadow before he had even fully left the Concealment Formation.

This bomb was modified based on the principles of a nuclear bomb in the Human Realm. So, one should never underestimate its power despite its tiny, spherical appearance.

Boom!

At the same time, the shadow had pounced right in front of Blake!

The shadow was blown to pieces!

The black-robed man coughed up blood.

He had really let his guard down. Even though he had always been cautious, he was panicked and desperate to make a break for it. Therefore, his increasing agitation only exposed his vulnerabilities! It seemed that the bomb only served to make him even more infuriated as he roared with bloodshot eyes.

Blake's gaze turned icy as his eyes narrowed at the figure slightly.

The shadow of King Earthid was a figure as powerful as the real thing. Logically speaking, he would definitely not be so impulsive as to fight him to the death at such a critical moment.

The shadow was a cowardly creature with high self-preservation skills. Hence, his true intention for attacking was to escape.

Since he wanted to escape, why would he make such a big fuss instead of leaving?

Suddenly, Blake's gaze sharpened!

Just now, he had cleaved a trench in the ground with his sword. Now, he could see a wisp of bad aura slowly crawling out of the trench, trying to escape.

Still, something wasn't right.

The shattered shadow immediately saw that Blake had indeed noticed the killing intent hiding within the trench. His shadow flickered briefly as he felt a glimmer of joy in his heart. Immediately after, he saw the old man, who had popped out of absolutely nowhere, leap over and yell, "He's trying to escape!"

The men rushed toward the trench, and Blake used his Dark Flame sword to slash right in that direction.

Heh, fools!

The shadow immediately took advantage of this opportunity to act, pretending to be furious and rushing over after seeing that his scheme had been discovered. In reality, his true form-a wisp of bad aura- quickly escaped along the slight pits and depressions on the ground that had just been blasted open, heading toward another direction.

He was moving right toward Jean, who had been hiding in the Concealment Formation all this while.

Jean tightly held a gun in her hand as she felt her tongue dry.

Blake had told her that if she had the chance to take a shot, she should aim right for it and pull the trigger!

Although she didn't know if the firearms of the Human Realm would be effective against such enemies, she trusted Blake with all her soul.

She watched silently as the wisp of bad aura crept closer and closer!

Jean's eyes turned fierce as she thought ferociously, That's it, pal. Just a bit more!

Bang!

The gun went off.

The golden bullet broke through the air with a crack and nailed the shadow that was quietly creeping away to the ground.

The black-robed man's entire memory, soul, and true form were all contained within this mere wisp.

Never in his wildest dreams did he expect to be careless once, let alone twice.

The black-robed man spat out yet another mouthful of blood as his eyes filled with despair.
