To the three Rebirth State guests, battles and murders were part of life, and they had learned the relations.h.i.+p between killing and being killed .

Therefore…

They had never once underestimated their opponents .

Even if they have realized early on that their opponents were not as powerful as them, they would not show any mercy or complacency .

And it was precisely due to this, that they were shocked at the strange sight that had unfolded .

After all, they were well-aware of the capabilities of the guest with the Death Flame . Although he had not achieved their level of mastery, in terms of technique and potential, he was not much weaker than them .

But now, the guest with the Death Flame had died .

Without any warning, he had died in front of them . He was killed by them when they could not stop the attack in time .

This made them extremely wary .

Normally, they would have stopped and tested their opponent's abilities once more . After all, it was only a fine line between killing and being killed .

But Lin Tianrong's voice reverberated in their ears with rising urgency .

"What are the three of you waiting for? Do you want to die with that idiot? Kill him now, I want him dead now!" Lin Tianrong's rage shot through the roof .

Even when they had attacked together, the masked man managed to kill the Death Fire guest with the attack of others . How humiliating! If he wasn't that weak, he would've fought .

The three Rebirth guests exchanged looks and immediately understood one another's thoughts .

They did not feel any pity for the fallen guest .

Because when they first stepped into the Eastern Palace, they were fated to be a weapon . A weapon used by Lin Tianrong according to his whims and fancies .

And now…

They were still a weapon .

But one used by another person .

Blame? Hatred?

They had neither . Because, like the guest with the Death Flame, they had a history that no one knew of . If it wasn't like this, with their Rebirth State abilities, why would they be a weapon so willingly?

"Kill him!" one of the guests shouted .

Without much nonsense or banter, this one phrase determined the path of their life, one which they could never turn back .

They still had the advantage of strength with three people .

Even if they had no advantage, or only one was left, they could not stop fighting . Because the result would be the same . It was either the masked man or them who had to die .

The three Rebirth State guards moved again .

But this time they did not attack from different directions, because they weren't exactly clear how the masked man used their attacks to kill the other guard .

Since they weren't clear…

It was an ambiguity .

And once was enough .

The trio stepped toward the masked man in the same direction . Rays of light emerged from their bodies in their respective colors: one red and the two green . Red signified flames .

The flames weren't any special Dao, but they were a powerful, ferocious Dao . And when one had achieved the Rebirth State in the Dao of the flames, he could feel his opponent's realization and control of the flames .

Green signified nature .

Nature is all-encompa.s.sing, with flowers, gra.s.s, vines, creepers…

But most importantly, nature arose from earth . Hence, when the two green light rays emerged, streaks of green lines simultaneously surfaced from the ground .

The green lines moved wildly, approaching the masked man's legs .

With impressive speed .

The masked man stood calmly at his position as if he didn't notice what was happening . In an instant, the green lines twisted around his legs, rooting him to the ground .

And at this moment, a ball of red flames reached in front of the masked man like a hungry predator about the devour his prey .

From the time the three guests moved to the ensnarement of the masked man, all happened in the blink of an eye, but it was in fact very visible .

A fiery red tooth pierced deep in the masked man's throat, sizzling as it penetrated his skin .

The surrounding guards and servants heaved a sigh a relief .

"Is he dead?!"

"With the combined force of the three Rebirth State guests, his fate was sealed even if he managed to defeat the 'Dark Death' by luck . "

"Yes . It is impossible for a single person to survive this . "

The guards discussed softly as they carefully observed Lin Tianrong's expression . After all, if the masked man was defeated, Lin Tianrong would calm down a little .

And the Dark Death they mentioned referred, of course, to the guest with the Death Flame .

A pseudonym .

No one knew his real name .

Lin Tianrong stared intently at the three guests and the masked man . He saw witnessed the flame piercing through the masked man's throat, but his rage did not quell .

Setting the Eastern Palace and his study on fire .

How could such a rage be quelled just by a simple death? He was full of hatred . He didn't want the masked man to die just like this .

If it was possible, he preferred slowly slicing the masked man apart with a knife .

But now…

He couldn't care anymore .

Death!

He could still let him rot in public!

Lin Tianrong had decided that he would expose his corpse in the public for seven days . He wanted to let everyone know that the royal dignity was not to be messed around .

Those who infringed the royal dignity only had one end: death .

The sizzling noise emerged from the masked man's body . It should have been a b.l.o.o.d.y sight, but strangely, it wasn't so .

Because…

There was no blood!

When everyone saw the fiery tooth pierce his throat and heard the sizzle, they knew the masked man in front of them wasn't just a persistence of vision . He did not dodge, but why had he not died upon such a blow?

This was their first thought .

But when they hadn't the time to develop this thought, they noticed something peculiar: the masked man's throat had no trace of blood .

They had seen it clearly: the fiery red tooth piercing deeply into his throat . By why was there no blood?

What a strange sight .

Everyone had the same doubts . Even Lin Tianrong was dazed . But there were no explanations for this .

And the most puzzled among them was…

Of course, the guest of the highest level of Rebirth State among the trio, the flaming guest .

"How is this possible?!" The flaming guest stared gravely at the masked man . He could not believe his eyes .

After all, he was certain that the fiery red really pierced his throat . He could feel it . Unmistakable .

But why…

Nothing happened?!

He could not comprehend .

The other two guests did not understand too . This level of strangeness had exceeded their knowledge . Even if one had seen it personally, it was hard to believe .

"Now, I want to see if you're a human or a ghost!" One of the guests couldn't resist anymore . With a motion of his hand, the green lines which previously entangled the masked man transformed into vines with the sharpness of knives . Then they pierced into his thighs .

And then…

Nothing happened .

Although the vines had pierced into his thighs, there was also no blood, not even a drop .

"What is going on?" The other guest who was holding the masked man down finally spoke . He could not make sense of this situation .

And at this time, the masked man shook his body and adjusted his neck, then looked at the green vines on his legs .

"So that was it?" The masked man said with a low voice . A relaxed voice with a hint of disappointment .

The guards and servants were utterly shocked .

Because they were certain that the masked man was not dead, and in fact, living well .

"What is happening?"

"He was obviously hit, but nothing happened to him?"

"What Dao is this? How have I never heard of such a Dao?"

The guards and servants were puzzled, but they were clear of one point . Since the masked man was still alive, all of these had yet to end .

They turned their attention to Lin Tianrong .

Just a glance was enough to make them s.h.i.+ver . Because Lin Tianrong has reached the peak of his fury, an air of unstable energy circulated around his body .

His expression was sinister as if his face radiated evil .

"Kill him, kill him! Shoot the arrows, now!" Lin Tianrong commanded without hesitation . He only had one single thought .

To kill the masked man .

To kill him regardless of anything .

Nearly a hundred archers heard Lin Tianrong and froze momentarily . Naturally, they looked at the three guests standing very close to the masked man .

But they eventually sprang into action .

"Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+"

A series of arrows sprang out of their bows and into the air, gleaming brilliantly . Every arrow had a flowing light ray, and if one looked closely enough, he could see markings and symbols etched on it .

The arrows rained on the masked man and the three guests . With such a short distance, the archers did not have to shoot upward into the sky, instead, straight at them .

This also meant that the arrows' force could reach its maximum .

The three guests were also shocked at Lin Tianrong's order, and the wave arrows raining upon them .

But none of them spoke a word .

Because they knew that when Lin Tianrong gave these orders, he had already lost patience in them .

The trio gritted their teeth while the rays of light on their bodies transformed into s.h.i.+elds, protecting them from the arrows .

But it was not the end .

And while the s.h.i.+elds took shape, they charged at the masked man . They knew that the only thing that could stop these arrows was killing the masked man .

Although they still did not understand why this man hadn't died, they had no time to think .

"Kill him!"

"Die!"

"Go to h.e.l.l!"

The three guests shouted simultaneously, and in an instant, they have reached beside the masked man . One red fist and two green fists punched toward his heart .

The masked man did not move .

He was so close to them!

But the three guests did not slacken, because while their fists had not punched on the masked man, anything could happen .

Their fists were tight and merciless .

Finally, in the instant when their fists reached his chest, the masked man moved . He took a small step back .

With that, the red fiery tooth and the green vines that had entangled him were instantly withdrawn from his body .

"This…"

The three guests were shocked .

Although they had seen this happen to the guest with the Death Flame, now it happened to them .

It was still as shocking .

"Boom!"

The three fists collided with the fiery red tooth and green lines, instantly annihilating them while generating a powerful blast wave .

But the trio did not intend to stop .

Charge on!

And they chased toward the masked man .

And at this moment, something peculiar happened again . When the three of them smashed the fiery red tooth and sharp green vines, more green lines emerged from the ground .

And these lines were much thicker, as thick as fingers, and instantly, they completely entangled the three guests .

And now, the bright red flame rose again, but instead of one, now there were three fiery red teeth .

"You…"

The guests were stunned . It was a little too bizarre .

Perhaps it was not that surprising that the masked man mastered the Dao of the flames .

But to refine the flame into a bright red and transform it exactly into three fiery red teeth, it was certainly extreme .

They really wanted to ask, how would this happen?

But they didn't get a chance . The three teeth were already in front of them and zoomed right into their throats .

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Three defeating blasts was accompanied by a brilliant glow that lit up the whole sky, while a terrifying blast wave radiated outwards .

Besides doubt, there was only astonishment . Absolute astonishment . To the three Rebirth State guests, battles and murders were part of life, and they had learned the relations.h.i.+p between killing and being killed . Therefore… They had never once underestimated their opponents . Even if they have realized early on that their opponents were not as powerful as them, they would not show any mercy or complacency .
