Chapter 315: Volume-3 Chapter-17!
"He will slaughter you all for the cowardice you are showing."
He paused and then added: "He hates cowards more than anything."
His words sent chills down everyone's spine.
"Then what choice do we have?" Another elder asked, despaired by the situation: "Are we just going to wait for our death here?"
His words resonated with everyone.
They didn't see a way ahead.
It was like—
Two choices lay before them, neither spared their life.
Advance was death; retreat was also death.
The heavens offered them no path of survival.
At this moment, Ashen, being kinder than even the heavens, showed them a path to survival:
"It's simple, we follow our original plan."
He gazed in Lin Feng's direction, however, not at Lin Feng but at the darkness below him.
"Cheer Lord Ye Ming, pour your core qi into the array to help him. He will distract Lin Feng until help arrives."
Ye Ming, on the other hand, looked at Lin Feng with wide eyes while hiding in the darkness under him.
He was on his way to help the three emperor realm cultivators when the sudden burst of light chased away the darkness, making him unable to maintain his incorporeal form, he was thrown out of the darkness.
In the short moment of bright illumination, he could only hear the crackling sound of lightning and gusts of wind against his face.
He was blind under the onslaught of brightness caused by the blinding scarlet light.
As soon as light receded and the darkness returned to the area, Ye Ming again turned incorporeal, ready to help the three emperor realm cultivators; however, as soon as he saw the scene in front of him, he was terrified of the thought of confronting Lin Feng.
He wasn't invincible.
Yes, he could hide in the darkness and teleport short distances through it; however, he too had weaknesses.
The most prominent weakness being light.
If the darkness was chased away and he didn't have a sizable size of darkness to hide in, he would be thrown out, turning vulnerable to damage.
If he couldn't hide in the darkness, what was the point in distracting Lin Feng?
Once Lin Feng figured out his weakness, he would just use his lightning to create a light large enough to chase away the darkness.
Then, there was the problem of the array around them.
Ye Ming looked at the sky and cursed in his heart:
Curse the ninth prince!
If only he hadn't placed this array around us, I could've easily teleported away.
Ye Ming could also teleport large distances, given that the points he teleported from and to were submerged in darkness.
At night, he was almost invincible; however, because of the array, no one could escape.
The array blocked the space around them, creating a layer that almost made this space a different world.
People could only enter this space from outside; however, once inside, they couldn't return unless the array was removed.
Ye Ming looked at the charred corpses of the sect master and the two tribal heads and cursed:
Damn it!
If even three emperor realm cultivators died in the blink of an eye, what chance have I got?
I should just run away.
Let them all die alone.
I don't think that monster Lin Feng has noticed me.
I can easily escape away.
While Ye Ming thought of escaping, shouts and cheers came from behind him.
While being in his incorporeal form, he turned his gaze in the direction of the cheers.
It was the elders of the Eastern Sovereign Hall.
They were waving a hand in his direction while cheering, their other hand touching the white marble pillar of the array to inject their core-qi into the array.
"Lord Ye Ming! Show that fiend his place!"
"You can do it!"
"Just keep pushing!"
"You just have to hold on for twelve minutes more!"
"Ye Ming! Ye Ming!..."
Seeing them cheering his name, he almost wanted to teleport beside them and then strangle them with their own two hands.
Weren't they emperor realm cultivators?
Why were they putting their hopes on a King realm cultivator like him?
And as if that wasn't enough, they were waving at him.
Why don't you also tell Lin Feng to just kill me?
He would be a fool to not notice me after this...
And as he had suspected, Lin Feng was looking at the darkness below him, almost exactly at Ye Ming.
For a moment, he was confused; however, soon he understood.
He remembered the puppet and the dark-cloaked cultivator who had accompanied the weakling prince and fought him along with Qin Feng.
Lin Feng had wondered where he vanished.
So he was hiding just below him in the darkness.
So devious!
Lin Feng pointed at the darkness and rolled his fingers inward, calling out:
"Come out of the darkness and fight like a man if you have any honor."
However, Ye Ming didn't respond, without showing any movement.
If he were to move, Lin Feng would notice the change in darkness.
It was easy to distinguish him from the unmoving darkness while his silhouette moved in it.
He didn't want to expose his location to Lin Feng.
However, unknown to him, Lin Feng had the support of his senior, Mao Lang.
"Brat, this guy is using the dark path. I have faced some cultivators of this path in the past..."
"Then?" Lin Feng asked with a calm expression: "How do I get him?"
"Don't be so impatient, you brat!" Mao Lang yelled like an affectionate grandfather, teaching his grandson some manners. "I was just about to tell you."
Lin Feng nodded silently. He knew he would get an answer either way.
His senior was someone who couldn't miss an opportunity to flex his experience and knowledge.
And as expected, his voice came not too long after, almost mimicking a scholar with lots of knowledge:
"These dark path cultivators are devious. Their treachery knows no bounds."
