Chapter 223 Ambush
Emrys pondered before saying, “Your daughter’s drowning was an accident, but I’m quite curious about
how you ended up in this state?”
“Nonsense!” Michael did not respond to Emrys‘ question. Instead, he roared, “It was you who killed my
daughter! If it wasn’t for you driving her to madness, how could she have possibly fallen into the water?
Today, I will send you to hell to apologize to my daughter!”
He suddenly opened his mouth, spewing out a cloud of dark fog. The mist then enveloped his entire
b*dy, making him appear even more eerie.
Initially, Emrys felt that Michael was a pitiful individual. However, upon seeing his current state, he
realized that Michael was no longer a normal person. What exactly is that ball of dark fog? Could it be a
spirit?
Emrys‘ brow flashed with a cyan light as he opened his True Sight, but all he could see was a swath of
pitch black. He was completely unable to discern what that dark fog was.
Swoosh!
At that moment, Michael had already made his move, attacking Emrys like a ghostly apparition.
Michael’s chilling aura seemed to plunge the entire alley into an abyss.
Emrys exhaled, forming a sigil. An ancient cyan symbol shot out, aiming for the dark fog enveloping
Michael. However, it had no visible effect. That suggested that the dark fog wasn’t a spirit at all. The
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmethods of friars had no effect on it whatsoever. “How on earth did this guy end up in this state?”
Emrys deftly sidestepped Michael’s attack. Michael’s fingers, as sharp as steel blades, tore five long
gashes into the wall. Then, transforming into a chilling gust of wind, he lunged at Emrys once again.
Emrys‘ expression was solemn, his Nameless Divine Art circulating within him. The next second, streak
of green flame appeared in the palm of his hand, and he struck his palm at Michael.
Swoosh!

The flames raged, and at last, the dark fog shrouding Michael’s b*dy seemed to recede slightly. Taking
advantage of that, Emrys pressed on with his attack, igniting another flash of fire. Moments later, a
shrill scream erupted from Michael.
The dreadful scream did not come from Michael but from the dark fog itself.
What on earth is this thing? Emrys‘ curiosity intensified.
He was about to separate the black fog from Michael’s b*dy when suddenly, the black fog contracted
sharply and once again burrowed into Michael’s b*dy.
Bang!

Michael fell to the ground.
Emrys stepped forward to check and found that Michael had already died. Turning the latter over,

Emrys discovered that Michael’s entire back was hollowed out, his skeleton clearly visible.
Clearly, the peculiar dark fog had used Michael as a cover to burrow underground. This is potentially a
dangerous loose end!
Michael was originally a man with no cultivation base. However, after being possessed by the dark fog,
he was surprisingly able to exhibit strength equivalent to the third stage of energy cultivation, which
demonstrated the extent of the dark fog’s peculiarity.
Moreover, the fact that Michael could tell at a glance that Emrys was a cultivator was likely due to that
black fog, suggesting that the fog possessed a consciousness, and that made the situation even more
terrifying.
Emrys was somewhat worried, but upon careful examination, he could no longer sense the chilling
aura, indicating that the dark fog had already escaped far away.
Emrys stared at Michael’s corpse, falling silent for a moment. Then, he burned Michael’s b*dy with a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmburst of flame, leaving only ashes behind.
Fortunately, that alley was rather secluded, with hardly anyone around and no surveillance cameras
nearby. Otherwise, anyone who saw what happened would certainly be scared out of their wits.
Emrys thought. Michael’s appearance is an unexpected event, especially that peculiar mass of dark
fog. It’s bound to pose a threat to me sooner or later since I failed to eradicate it today. Who knows
where it will emerge from next time? What a headache. Still, overthinking this matter won’t benefit me.
Emrys shook his head. When he returned home, he was abruptly pulled into the room by Yelena.
Blinking her narrowed, beautiful eyes, she said, “Rys, would you like to assist me in my cultivation
today? I’ve found that without your help, my progress is so slow!”
Emrys was startled, then he let out a bitter laugh and said, “Lena, have you forgotten about the side
effects from the last time I assisted you in your cultivation?”
He didn’t dare to act recklessly again.
Yelena appeared slightly disappointed but quickly had a flash of inspiration and declared, “Emrys, I
announce that from this moment on, our sibling relationship is severed!”
