The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 718

After showing his obvious disdain for Daniel, Black added, "Just by the way you were ogling those two women, are you really free from blemish and pure? From what I see, you're just a filthy rogue!"

Daniel pointed at Black, commanding the evil spirits, "This old fart calls me a dirty rogue. Go on, swarm him, let him know what respect is!"

"Country bumpkin, who do you think you are? You believe these evil spirits will listen to you? That they'll come at my single command? How could they possib..."

Before Black could finish his thought, the black, shadowy spirits rushed towards him en masse.

"Ah! Don't come near me!" Black cried out, petrified by the advancing spectral figures and instinctively began to back away.

However, just as he took a step back, an evil spirit with an eerily halved foot appeared behind Black.

Thump! Black lost his footing and toppled to the ground, with the evil spirits then descending upon him, unceremoniously piling on top of him.

"Get off me!"

"Stop biting me!"

Black screamed and flailed, trying to push away the spirits. But these dark entities were just souls, illusions – they couldn't be touched or pushed by mere hands.

Soon enough, Black steadied himself. He began chanting a protective spell, forming symbols with his hands and jabbing fiercely at the shades before him.

Country bumpkin... You…

Angered to the point of eruption, Black spat a mouthful of blood. Yet, his outburst wasn't triggered by Daniel's words but by the exertion of fending off those evil spirits, which had taken a significant toll on his body.

Seeing Black coughing up blood, White became deeply concerned.

"Brother, are you alright?" White asked attentively.

After all these years of establishing renown, they had made innumerable enemies and faced many formidable opponents. If something happened to Black, White knew surviving on his own would be challenging.
