Chapter 309: Volume-3 Chapter-11!
"Just what kind of monster have we come to hunt?" The sect master mumbled under his breath with a horrified expression.
And to see their leader with that kind of response wasn't reassuring for the elders of the Eastern Sovereign Hall.
Even Ye Ming, who had been constantly attacking Lin Feng by appearing out of the darkness, felt cold feet.
He understood that having the Emperor realm cultivation wasn't enough to fight against someone like Lin Feng.
Lin Feng had already created his own killer move; meanwhile, Ye Ming, on the other hand, didn't even have the same level of attainment in his path.
Without that attainment, he could only use his King realm moves just with the power of the Emperor realm.
Qin Feng, on the other hand, kept on sending blood spikes in Lin Feng's direction, just increasing them in number.
He was already sending four blood spikes simultaneously towards Lin Feng; however, everything was for naught.
His scarlet lightning whips were easily shattering them through simultaneous strikes.
Ye Ming travelled through the darkness and appeared beside Ashen.
He knew that Ashen was the highest authority here.
If anyone were to issue a new order, it would be him.
With exploding sounds of lightning whips and blood spikes in the background,
Boom!
Boom!
Ye Ming bowed and requested to Ashen:
"Your Highness, we need to retreat! This monster isn't something we can handle!"
Ashen turned to look at him and smiled politely:
"Lord Ye Ming, are you suggesting we should run in fear of a single emperor realm criminal?"
Ye Ming nodded with a wry smile:
"Yes, your highness."
He paused to glance at Lin Feng and then added:
"I know it is shameful of me to suggest something like that, but... we need to stay alive to fight him."
"Hmm." Ashen nodded in understanding.
He remained silent before asking:
"So you want us to run with tails between our legs?"
Ye Ming again nodded, although with a bit of shame:
"Yes, your highness. That is the only way for us to stay alive."
Ashen was silent as he contemplated, or at least acted to, before speaking:
"Let us say I accept your suggestion and we make a run for it."
His gaze turned intense as he questioned:
"Do you seriously believe that the monster named Lin Feng would let us leave quietly?"
Ye Ming shook his head and answered with sincerity:
"No, Your Highness. He would definitely try to kill us here and now."
He then smiled cunningly and added:
"However, if you remove the array that is blocking the space around us, then we can make use of teleportation talismans and teleport out of here."
Ashen wasn't impressed with his suggestion.
He asked, "And what about after that? Don't you think Lin Feng would come to the Eastern Sovereign Hall to get his lover and take his revenge?"
Ye Ming tried to answer; however, Ashen stopped him:
"You want to suggest returning his lover, right?"
Ye Ming nodded: "Yes, then he wouldn't have any animosity with us. He can just leave the empire with her."
Ashen almost felt like facepalming himself at Ye Ming's stupidity.
Maybe it was because of facing a danger to his life that he couldn't think clearly.
Well, it was natural upon seeing a nightmare like Lin Feng.
Ashen calmed himself before explaining politely:
"Lord Ye Ming, think for a second. You and all of us have tried to take his life today. Do you really believe he would forgive us if we returned his lover? And what about the treasure he had stolen from the north? Should we also let him take it as an apology?"
He sighed and then added, "I'm a prince. Lin Feng wouldn't be able to touch me if I were to run away, but do you see me do that? I'm here, ready to fight him to the death, so I ask of you to do the same!"
Ye Ming, upon hearing Ashen's words, glanced in the direction of Lin Feng as he screamed in his heart:
You want me to fight that?
No Thanks!
I would like to keep my life intact.
If you want to die, then die alone.
Although these were his real thoughts, on the exterior, he maintained an amicable smile and disappeared into the darkness before appearing some distance away.
All he had to do was hide till the fight was over.
Even if Lin Feng won, Ye Ming was confident enough to hide till he left.
Ye Ming couldn't leave because of the array that Ashen had created around the island using the array flag from the Shang Clan, but he could hide inside the island till the battle was over.
Like that, Ye Ming had disappeared from the fight.
Meanwhile, Qin Feng was keeping Lin Feng in place by himself, or so the others thought.
However, Lin Feng was only destroying the spikes instead of killing Qin Feng due to a single reason.
He was waiting for his body to heal enough before he would go on a killing spree.
Ashen knew the overwhelming power difference between Lin Feng and Qin Feng.
He knew Lin Feng could easily annihilate Qin Feng with the move he had conjured.
Even Ye Ming, who had more than 5 million luck points, ran away from fear.
How would Qin Feng, who only had around 3 million luck points left, fare against Lin Feng?
It almost seemed like the World's Will had given up on Qin Feng.
Moreover, Ashen knew that once Qin Feng was annihilated, it would be their turn.
He turned to the array pillars and approached the other emperor realm cultivators who were busy injecting their core qi into the pillars.
With a grim expression, he informed:
"We need to escape."
"What?" The blood demon lord was shocked. "Are you saying we cannot defeat him even with all of us here?"
Ashen nodded: "You might have not noticed, but Lin Feng is just buying time to heal his wounded body. Once he is healed, he will finish off Qin Feng and come after us. I don't think any of you will survive his onslaught."
