My Waste Husband

Chapter 1358

The sudden emergence of Henry and Verrall caused the fight between the clans to stop.

Everyone present had their gaze fixed on Verrall and Henry, trying to figure out who they both were.

Henry stood mid-air and looked around. He did not just barge in aimlessly, it was all done deliberately. Henry intended to redirect the flames of chaos to someone else.

Verrall had gone totally berserk. Only battle-hungry belligerent would be willing to fight Verrall while he was in such a state. After all, he was fighting with his life.

Henry had hoped to suppress Verrall with the help of the power of the clans.

He scanned his surroundings and noticed that there was an ancestral hall on the ancestral grounds. It was the reminder from the Heretic God, rather than Henry's own observations, that brought his attention to it.

"Kid, it's right there. Although it's not very strong, there are traces of unawakened true spirits."

Henry nodded quietly. Then sped towards the ancestral hall with a single move of his body.

"Henry Zhang, go to hell!"

With a loud roar, Verrall struck once more with his sword.

It was just like earlier before. The power of Verrall's Qi sword was all focused towards Henry, none of its power was spread out. The crowd could not feel any threats from his Qi swords at all, but no one dared to look down on Verrall's Qi sword this time.

The Qi from the sword was aimed at Henry and slashed towards the ancestral hall.

The members of the clan widened their eyes in shock. They knew just how powerful the Qi from Vera Il's sword was, having seen how it had caused ten experts of the Divine Realm to vomit blood blood with just a single slash. If the Qi from that sword hit the ancestral hall, it would be in ruins! Just as the Qi from the sword was about to split the ancestral hall in half, a booming voice suddenly sounded throughout the island.

"Protector of Western Xia, how dare you do as you please in the lands of the Loulan. Just how much do you look down on us of the Loulan?"

The Qi from Verall's sword disappeared immediately as soon as the voice boomed.

Verrall had a crazed expression on his face. "I'll kill whoever that tries to stop me!"

While Verrall spoke, another wave of powerful Qi sword condensed. Verralls sword intent had already reached the pinnacle of perfection. He could form Qi swords with a single thought.

"Alas."

The booming voice sighed heavily and said, "Very well then, activate the formation."

Just as he said that, everyone on the island felt powerful waves of shock under their feet.

"The surface of the lake is rising!"

Someone exclaimed.

"It's not the surface of the lake that is rising, it's the land that we're on that's descending!"

The whole island was sinking into the lake.

In the sky, an unseen force pressed down on Henry and Verrall. This force was far beyond the powers of the Divine Realm, making Henry and Verrall no longer able to stand in the air, causing

them to fall to the ground. The water around the island kept rising, eventually flowing onto the island.

The island in the middle of the lake sank at an alarming rate, waves crashing down from above everyone's head. Then, great amounts of water soon covered their heads. It took merely few seconds for the entire island to sink completely into the lake, take those who were on it down together.

The current at the bottom of the lake was fierce and rapid, and Henry could feel the strong impact of the current on his body. Henry's first reaction was to resist it with Qi, but soon realised that Qi seemed to have disappeared there, making him completely unable to use it. He could only rely on his physical strength.

However, no matter how strong he was, he could not possibly resist the power of nature. Soon enough, Henry was carried away by the current and was swirled to and fro violently by it, unable to do anything about his situation at hand.

Henry tried to calm down and closed his eyes, then began counting in his head. When he counted up to 437 seconds, he suddenly felt his body lighten, and the raging waters around him began dispersing away. Henry opened his eyes and realised that the current had delivered him to a damp, dark area.

Henry opened his mouth and gasped for breath. Although his physical condition was way beyond the ordinary, however he had held his breath for more than seven minutes in such violent currents, that was as far as he could go. The Guinness World Record for holding one's breath underwater was much longer than seven minutes, but that had been completed under a perfectly controlled environment. The environment where Henry had just been was not clearly far from controlled.

The first thing Henry did was to inspect himself. He discovered that he still could not use his Qi. It seemed that the area he was in could cut off certain energies. After figuring that out, Henry began to

observe his surroundings, that dark and damp place was a cave, it was only two meters high and could only fit one person. A passage appeared before his eyes. It was dark and bottomless, and he had not the slightest clue of what lurked within it.

Henry turned around to look and saw the opening he had entered from. It was a hole that opened downwards, sounds of flowing water still came from below it. The current was very violent. Obviously, it was impossible for him to take the same path back. Therefore, Henry's only choice was to follow the dark path that had appeared before him.

Henry was in no hurry. He decided to first sit down cross- legged to recover some strength. After a moment of rest, he got up again and moved onward. Henry walked very slowly. He observed the passage as he walked, it was very quiet. Apart from the sounds of his own footsteps, Henry could not hear anything else, not even the sounds of the running water at the entrance. Fortunately, after Henry had gotten used to the darkness, his vision was no longer an issue in the cave. Thus, the possibility of danger suddenly appearing before him was eliminated, and that brought Henry a sense of relief.

The stone walls around him were very smooth and were blanketed with moss, it was very similar to most of the dark caves in the world. There was nothing out of the ordinary about it. The cave was filled with cold air, so cold that it chilled Henry to the bone, causing him shudder involuntarily. Henry had not experienced a feeling like this for a long time. The temperature of his surroundings had not affected him since long ago.

Henry took a few more steps forward, then noticed his footsteps suddenly began to sound hollow, which made Henry realise that he was quickly approaching the end of that passage.

Suddenly, a blinding light shot at Henry. Being already accustomed to the darkness, Henry subconsciously tried to block his eyes with his hand. His heavy experience in battle and sharp

awareness gave him the feeling that something was not right. He subconsciously took a few steps back.

Clang!

A crisp ring of metal clashing sounded. A thin crack appeared on the ground where Henry had just been standing. It was a long curved blade, and the tip of the blade was rusty. A warrior in armour held the blade, and it was that warrior that struck at Henry.

The warrior remained in a slashing pose after it attacked, not moving in the slightest on its spot and did not launch a second attack.

Just as doubts emerged within Henry, another ray of light shot towards him.

The moment the ray of light shone on Henry, the warrior in armour moved. Its speed was so fast that Henry was caught off-guard. Henry dodged subconsciously, and the rusty tip of the curved blade missed Henry from the front and struck the ground in front of Henry's feet, causing the ground to crack.
