Volume 5, Chapter 43 – Hume-Solrog

“Hume-Solrog, that is my name.”

The blonde man, or rather ‘Hume,’ said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Ailiya’s pupils suddenly contracted.

Hume?

Solrog?

This guy was from House Solrog?

Since House Solrog currently only had three Ancestors remaining, Ailiya quickly deduced the identity of the man before her.

“The Third Ancestor…”

For a moment, a thick sense of gravity quietly emerged in Ailiya’s cherry-colored pupils.

Currently, she was still using the Bai family’s influence to search for clues about House Solrog, but she never expected that House Solrog, which should be hiding its tracks, would actually appear before them on its own initiative?

On the other side,

After hearing the other party reveal his name, Bai Shangxue also showed a shocked expression.

“Solrog? You’re one of those people Lady Baiya was looking for?”

“Baiya? What an interesting name.”

After meaningfully glancing at Ailiya, Hume smiled playfully.

At the same time,

Bai Shangxue directly cast aside his premonition, instantly flashing to the front of the pavilion, blocking Hume’s path.

“No matter who you are… the Bai family is not a place where you can rampage as you please!”

Bai Shangxue roared angrily.

As his words rang out, enduring his illness, Bai Shangxue suddenly unleashed all the spiritual power within his body. In an instant, powerful wine-red spiritual power burst forth from within him, overwhelming Hume with earth-shaking force. Not only that, as ancestral spirit phantoms were summoned forth, this aura’s intensity surged to Divine Departure Realm level in one go.

Space twisted accordingly, and the earth trembled continuously.

Facing this powerhouse who could silently break through the Bai family’s protective formation, Bai Shangxue naturally wouldn’t hold back.

From the start, he went all out!

However,

Faced with the powerful force unleashed by Bai Shangxue, Hume still maintained a calm expression, standing peacefully yet somewhat wearily in place, using his peripheral vision to glance indifferently at the distant Ailiya and the spirit tablet floating behind her.

“All here, perfect…”

After muttering indifferently to himself, Hume coldly glanced at Bai Shangxue in front of him.

“So noisy, be quiet.”

His eyes slightly narrowed, Hume spoke in a somewhat drowsy tone.

And at the very moment his words rang out,

A terrifyingly overwhelming pressure immediately crashed down from above like a collapsing sky onto Bai Shangxue, directly causing this strongest member of the Bai family to contract his pupils and suddenly display intense pain.

“Cough cough cough cough!!”

Accompanied by several spurts of fresh blood,

The ground around Bai Shangxue suddenly cracked and caved in, the ancestral spirit phantoms crumbled completely, and the spiritual power aura that had just spread out collapsed entirely.

Bai Shangxue himself, unable to withstand this pressure, directly collapsed powerlessly to his knees on the ground.

“Damn… it…”

Struggling continuously, Bai Shangxue looked unwillingly at the man in front of him.

He knew that several core figures of Tianen Financial Group were strong, but what he hadn’t expected was… that these guys’ strength would be so terrifying.

His all-out effort… couldn’t even last ten seconds?!

On the other side,

Regarding Bai Shangxue’s unwilling emotions, Hume was too lazy to care, much less make any mocking comments.

He just wearily raised his hand to cover his mouth and yawned tiredly.

“Haah~”

——”What exactly… is your purpose?!”——

While enduring the pain, Bai Shangxue angrily questioned him.

To this, Hume calmly narrowed his eyes.

Purpose?

Naturally, to execute his mission.

Originally, Hume was temporarily too lazy to interfere with the Bai family, even though that guy Bai Bin kept seeking his help.

You must know, as a member of House Solrog, Hume’s current main task was to collect resources and assist Lord Astral in breaking through to Divine Graced Realm. At the same time, to prepare in advance to deal with Terran Malevolence Gaia Lobir who might arrive at any time.

Since most of the Bai family had no connection with Bai Lianyue, Hume naturally couldn’t be bothered.

However, after learning from Bai Bin that a “ancestor” called “Baiya” with silver hair and cherry-colored pupils had appeared in the Bai family, even though he usually couldn’t be bothered to run around… Hume had no choice but to personally visit the Bai family again.

After all,

According to Bai Bin’s description, this Bai family ancestor… was very likely Ailiya who had just arrived in this world.

Ailiya-Lingyuan.

She was a child raised by Terran Malevolence, with an extraordinary relationship with the evil god. If he could control her and use her to threaten Terran Malevolence, it would certainly provide considerable help to Lord Astral.

Additionally,

Since he planned to make a move against the Bai family, Hume also intended to take Lord’s sacred relic back with him.

Thinking of this, after taking in the silver-haired girl and the stone tablet floating behind her, Hume revealed a meaningful smile.

“Good, all here… saves me from searching everywhere.”

“What are you talking about?!”

Rеαԁ oո ΚαtRеаⅾіոgСаfе

Bai Shangxue roared unwillingly.

“Nothing.”

Hume naturally had no intention of explaining to Bai Shangxue.

When he refocused his gaze on Bai Shangxue, Hume’s indifferent pupils had already overflowed with sinister killing intent.

He was someone who repaid kindness.

Although he didn’t like petty people like Bai Bin, since the other party had provided intelligence beneficial to House Solrog, Hume naturally needed to give a certain reward.

Bai Bin wanted to truly control the Bai family and become the real power holder.

Then he would help him out.

Following his wishes, he’d eliminate Bai Shangxue.

Hehe,

Previously constantly hoping for them to help extend Bai Shangxue’s life, now hoping for him to kill Bai Shangxue?

Hehe,

How boring…

As a cold snort rang out in his heart, Hume slowly raised his hand. In his palm, deep gray spiritual power began to continuously ripple forth. At the same time, the gravitational pressure enveloping Bai Shangxue began to rapidly escalate, directly crushing Bai Shangxue until he continuously vomited blood, his entire body on the verge of being crushed.

However,

Just as Hume was about to further increase the gravitational pressure and directly crush Bai Shangxue into pulp, a cherry-colored light suddenly flashed to Hume’s side in the blink of an eye.

It was Ailiya with killing intent on her face.

Both swords suddenly unsheathed!

Surrounded by cherry-colored Augury Force, they slashed fiercely toward Hume’s neck and abdomen.

To this, Hume nonchalantly narrowed his eyes.

Clearly, Ailiya’s attack was already within his expectations.

The next instant, a powerful energy impact directly roared forward, directly engulfing Ailiya within it.

Most of the courtyard directly shattered under this wave of energy vibration.

Ailiya’s body also suddenly twisted and crumbled to nothing in this impact, transforming into countless cherry-colored energy particles.

“As expected, an illusion?”

Having anticipated Ailiya’s ability, Hume wasn’t surprised.

Instead, he naturally turned to look behind him,

“Pretending to attack from the front, but actually… from behind…”

As it turned out,

Hume’s judgment was quite accurate. As soon as he turned around, Ailiya’s figure came into his view.

At the same moment,

Deep gray spiritual power condensed on his right arm, a sharp hidden blade emerged, slashing mercilessly toward Ailiya’s neck, directly causing the silver-haired girl to show a shocked expression.

Undoubtedly, Hume intended to defeat the enemy with one strike and end this battle quickly.

He didn’t want to work overtime.

However,

Just as the hidden blade rapidly approached Ailiya’s neck, the girl restrained the shock in her pupils and decisively lowered her head, dodging Hume’s strike.

At the same time, Ailiya’s counterattack followed immediately.

Two sword lights flashed by, and Hume’s arm suddenly flew into the air.

Blood splattered forth…

Hume: “Oh?”
