Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 239: Chapter 237 Lian Yuze’s Crisis

The Sword Light cleaved down, and Lian Yuze’s face changed color; at this moment, he no longer had those figures to shield him.

Unprotected, a Mage was as vulnerable as a sheet of paper, a fact that the well-dressed elder clearly understood.

“Die!”

The elder’s eyes blazed with murderous intent.

Lian Yuze quickly retreated, unable to defend in time. Both were Grand Magicians, but he was just a First Order Grand Magician, while that elder was at least a Fourth Order Grand Magician or above.

Moreover, as a Necromancy Mage, Lian Yuze’s main Attack Power lay in the corpses he controlled. With those figures now scattered, his strength plummeted.

“This is bad!”

Liuu Feng also sensed something awry and his face fell as he immediately dashed toward Lian Yuze.

Hong Yu, without a word, burst forward too, attempting to block the attack.

But their speed was no match for that of the Sword Light. Before they could get close, it had already reached the top of Lian Yuze’s head.

With a grim face, Lian Yuze suddenly turned his hand over and took out a Pill, swallowing it directly.

“Whoosh!”

The moment he swallowed the Pill, a black glow erupted from Lian Yuze’s body, and his speed increased manifold, allowing him to narrowly dodge the slash.

“Boom!”

As the Sword Light missed him, it slammed violently into the ground, creating a massive fissure. Dust billowed into the sky, as if inciting a storm.

“Hmm?”

The well-dressed elder frowned, then let out a Leng Xiao, “Interesting indeed, but I want to see how many such Pills you have, and whether that kind of Pill could withstand my third blow!”

As his words fell, the third Sword Light within the storm finally descended.

“Whoosh!”

The speed of the Sword Light was like lightning, so fast that everyone could only see a flash of light that in the next instant arrived above Lian Yuze’s head.

Between gritted teeth, Lian Yuze’s gaze flickered as he retreated, and a black bowl appeared on top of his head.

This bowl seemed ordinary, like those used for everyday dining, but when it appeared, a dense black Light Barrier fell down, shrouding Lian Yuze within.

“What does it matter if you have treasures? Without sufficient Cultivation Base, you won’t be able to wield much power from them!” the elder’s voice rang out.

“Boom!”

“Crack!”

Two sounds in succession rang out: the Light Barrier cast by the bowl was instantly shattered, and the bowl itself was sent flying.

The elder waved his hand and grabbed the bowl in his grasp.

“This is a fine item; I’ll take it,” he said.

“Get lost!”

As the Sword Light approached, Lian Yuze’s face contorted with ferocity as he pulled out a piece of black cloth.

The black cloth flickered with black light as well, positioned in front of Lian Yuze, but it still couldn’t withstand the onslaught of the Sword Light.

As the elder had said, whether it was the bowl just then or the black cloth now, they had all been obtained by Lian Yuze from those ‘Little Brothers,’ who in turn had found them in the Mountain of the Gods.

These were treasures, but with his low Cultivation Base, Lian Yuze couldn’t unleash their full power.

The Sword Light, unable to destroy the bowl and cloth, could still scatter them, aiming directly at Lian Yuze.

“Am I going to die here?!”

With a twisted expression, Lian Yuze stared at the elder and swallowed another Pill, his speed surging immensely.

This Pill, like the one he had swallowed earlier, had been bestowed upon them by Su Han.

As Liuu Feng mentioned, Su Han had given them only ten such Pills.

It wasn’t that Su Han didn’t want to give more, but rather that the Pill Grade was so high that, with their current Cultivation Base, taking them would impose a great burden on their bodies.

For instance, after consuming two Pills in a row, Lian Yuze’s speed had indeed surged, but his Cultivation Base had not increased; instead, there were signs of weakness in his breath, and his complexion had turned pale.

No matter what it is, what suits you is always the best.

“Boom!”

The Sword Light, controlled by the old man, seemed to have a will of its own, chasing down Lian Yuze no matter how far he fled.

At this moment, despair rose in Lian Yuze’s heart, but a sense of boldness also appeared on his face.

“Although I may die here today, having been part of the God-Slaying Pavilion and enjoyed its glory for this period is enough!”

“Run fast!”

Liu Feng and Hong Yu were both following behind. They saw the boldness on Lian Yuze’s face and a bad premonition rose within them.

“You can escape!!!” Hong Yu shouted sharply.

She was even more anxious than Liu Feng because Lian Yuze was the man she admired.

“I’m sorry.”

Seeing the Sword Light slash towards him, Lian Yuze stopped dodging, knowing that evasion was pointless.

“I once promised to be with you for life, but I won’t have the chance now. Take good care of yourself after I’m gone and, if possible, find another man to marry.”

Lian Yuze smiled gently, “When you get married, make sure it’s a grand occasion. I will be watching you from the heavens.”

“No… No!!!”

Hong Yu shouted piercingly, “I don’t want you to die, I don’t want you to die!!!”

Lian Yuze fell silent, attempting to control those figures, but as he fled, he was far too distant from them. Even if he could control them, they wouldn’t arrive in time.

He took off his Space Ring and threw it to Hong Yu, “Inside here are some treasures I got from those people. Give them to Big Brother so he can help distribute them.”

“Remember, tell Big Brother to take revenge for me.”

As his words fell, Lian Yuze’s gaze shifted to the old man.

He didn’t dodge, just calmly made a statement.

“Within three days, you will undoubtedly die.”

“This old man will let you die first!”

The old man snorted coldly as the Sword Light reached the top of Lian Yuze’s head.

“No!!!” Hong Yu screamed.

“Humph, now you know pain?”

Dao Ye stood beside the old man, looking at the anguish on Hong Yu’s face, experiencing a kind of perverse pleasure.

His reason for capturing Shangguan Mingxin was to kill her in front of Su Han and others.

Now, unable to find Su Han, but able to kill Lian Yuze in front of Hong Yu and the others, he felt a perverse enjoyment.

“Deserves it, with such strength and still wanting to recruit us as little brothers?”

Feng Ye and the others also ran towards the distance, joining Liushui Wuhen and his group on the side, their faces showing a sense of satisfaction.

All of this is easier said than done, but it all transpired in a fraction of a moment.

Everyone’s gaze was fixated on the Sword Light that was about to fall.

“Goodbye.”

Lian Yuze reached out toward Hong Yu, as if trying to touch her.

“You can dodge it, just run, I don’t want you to die!” Tears kept pouring out of Hong Yu’s eyes.

Lian Yuze shook his head gently, his eyes also reddening a bit.

“Sizzle!”

Just at that moment, the void was suddenly torn apart, and an enormous hand stretched out from it unexpectedly.

As it reached out, this hand grabbed the Sword Light in one motion, and then suddenly, it exerted force.

“Crack!”

In the next instant, accompanied by a crisp sound and under the shocking gaze of all, the hand broke the Long Knife into two halves!
