Chapter 331: Volume-3 Chapter-33!
"No, we will use the trump card we have been saving."
"A-Are you talking about that?" Mao Lang's eyes were wide.
"Yes!" Lin Feng's voice answered. "Use the Divine Wood Pearl's recharged function!"
The function they were talking about enabled the user to increase their strength for two seconds.
This was the reason Lin Feng left his body's control to Mao Lang instead of taking it himself.
Mao Lang's upper-stage strength allowed him to use those two seconds to their maximum.
Atleast those two seconds were enough to save Qingyao.
Mao Lang nodded in understanding:
"Alright, I'll do it."
He instantly took out the Divine Wood Pearl and activated its function.
Ashen, noticing that, yelled:
"Stop! I'll kill her otherwise!"
However, before he could even finish, Mao Lang vanished from his spot, travelling at lightning speed that no one could follow with their bare sight.
In an instant, he appeared in front of Ashen and grabbed Qingyao and his hand that was holding the sword.
Mao Lang wanted to use his increased strength to take Ashen hostage; however, a black lightning struck his hand that had grabbed Ashen.
His eyes widened as he retracted his hand, taking only Qingyao and returning to his previous spot immediately.
Two seconds were over.
He couldn't achieve all he wanted in those two seconds, but he at least saved Qingyao.
At first he wanted to use that increased strength to attack Shang Wu and the others, but knowing that his attack could harm Qingyao as well, he rejected the idea.
Also, he wanted to avoid killing Ashen.
Ashen was the only thing holding the dragon emperor back.
If he were killed, no one knew what the dragon emperor would do to him.
"Is she alright, senior?" Lin Feng's voice hurriedly asked.
Mao Lang looked at Shi Qingyao and asked:
"Qingyao, are you alright?"
Qingyao nodded with tears in her eyes. She was trembling.
"Stand behind me. I'll protect you." Mao Lang said.
Qingyao nodded and went to stand behind him.
Mao Lang then eyed Shang Wu with astonishment:
That late stage cultivator...
How did he manage to strike me when I was moving so fast?
It was as if he already knew what I would do.
He then thought about how to get out of this mess.
Boom!
Boom!
The sounds from the fights happening around them were constant, along with some bright flashes of white light.
Mao Lang was relieved.
Atleast that confirmed that the two emperors on his side were alive.
Mao Lang then fixed his gaze at Ashen and said:
"Why don't we end this here? Remove the array, and we both can leave."
He paused, smiling confidently, before adding:
"You just saw what I can do. You can be assured that I won't miss a second time."
Mao Lang was bluffing. He knew that he couldn't repeat his earlier speed.
However, no one else was aware of that fact, especially not Ashen.
He must be afraid of that fact.
He will think that he could be taken hostage if Mao Lang attempted the same thing again.
This will strike fear in the young prince's heart.
Mao Lang only wanted to escape, and this was the perfect chance.
At this moment, Ashen spoke slowly, as if waiting for something:
"Lin Feng... You... are..."
Mao Lang paid full attention to Ashen's words, as they were the key to his freedom, and those long pauses only increased the suspense.
"Dead—!"
Tchk!
A scarlet, sharp blade of a sword came out of Lin Feng's left side of the chest.
It had pierced his heart!
The stab had been sharp and swift, entering his body in one go.
Mao Lang's eyes widened as his brain felt the pain coming with the stab.
"Argh!" He bellowed in pain as he grabbed the scarlet blade and applied force, trying to crush it; however, it didn't even flinch.
Ashen's mocking laughter came from the other side:
"Hahaha, leave it, Lin Feng. That sword is the most valuable treasure that the Shang Clan holds. It can even make a dominion realm cultivator bleed, let alone you."
It was then that he saw Qingyao flying away from him, trying to go to Ashen.
Cough!
He coughed up a mouthful of blood, his life diminishing with every second.
It was only because of the Divine Wood Pearl that he was even alive after having his heart pierced.
"W-What happened? Did Qingyao really stab me?" Lin Feng's voice, laced with disbelief, entered Mao Lang's ears.
Mao Lang gritted his teeth as, instead of answering Lin Feng, he shot lightning forward in a frenzy, trying to kill everyone.
"If I'm going to die, then I will take you all with me!"
"Ah!" Qingyao was the first to get killed.
Ye Ming was about to dissolve into the darkness; however, black lightning pierced his body from behind, killing him instantly.
If it wasn't for Shang Wu's lightning, Ye Ming would've easily escaped into the darkness.
The only expression he had on his face while dying was of confusion and shock.
Qingyao also wasn't any better, as her corpse grew cold from her own lover's lightning.
The only one safe was Ashen, who had been saved by Shang Wu.
"No!" Mao Lang screamed in anger. "I'll not leave you alive!"
He mustered all the remaining strength in his body and pointed at Ashen with his finger.
A single lightning strike fired from the tip of his finger, travelling at a terrifyingly fast speed.
Whoosh!
Shang Wu instantly appeared in front of the lightning to block it.
However, at the last second, the lightning strike changed direction, twisting around Shang Wu and striking Ashen straight in the chest.
The lightning strike was so fast that Shang Wu couldn't even react in time.
Mao Lang had used all of his strength to make this lightning strike fast enough to strike Ashen.
"Argh!"
Ashen fell to the ground with a low yelp, making Mao Lang laugh victoriously.
"Hahaha. Who's laughing now, you brat?"
In the next second, a voice came from Ashen's corpse:
"Isn't it me?"
Mao Lang's eyes widened as he saw Ashen rise up without as much as a single scratch on his body.
He then saw Ashen revealing a sinister smile as he pointed to him and smirked:
"It's over for you, Lin Feng!"
He paused and then added:
"It's been really long and hard to kill you!"
And then, the heavens rumbled with purple lightning, and
Strike!
Boom!
Purple lightning struck Lin Feng's already injured body like a beam fired from a spaceship.
Once the lightning receded, Lin Feng's charred body trembled but was still alive.
Ashen sighed upon seeing this and said:
"You protagonists are really like unkillable roaches..."
He paused and then smiled with an amused expression as he continued:
"But I'm your predator who preys on these roaches!"
And then, the heavens rumbled again.
Strike!
Boom!
Purple lightning struck again, leaving only a charred corpse without any life.
Lin Feng was finally dead!
