Chapter 313: Volume-3 Chapter-15!
Lin Feng cursed under his breath:
"Damn it! If only my whips struck where I wanted them to, they would be dead by now."
The reason for his frustration was an error of millimeters in his attacks.
If the whips just moved slightly away from the path he wanted them to take, the error would grow to more than half a meter by the time the whip would reach the point he wanted to strike at.
In his mind, he was directing them to strike down the three emperor realm cultivators perfectly; however, due to his limited control, the whips were missing them, allowing them to evade.
Ashen also noticed the predicament the three emperor realm cultivators found them in.
They couldn't just turn their backs to the whips and make a run for it. That would be foolish and would result in their deaths.
A distraction was needed to let them escape.
And there was a perfect distraction to use as Ashen turned to Ye Ming and requested politely:
"Lord Ye Ming, Please help them. Only you can distract Lin Feng so that they can return safely."
Hearing Ashen's voice, Ye Ming gulped.
A forced smile appearing on his face as he attempted to make excuses:
"Your Highness, I'm afraid I would make the matters worse by interfering."
Ashen understood the meaning behind his words. If it were anyone else, he might've went along with his excuse; however, this was Ye Ming, the Villain Points bank.
He needed to make him take action.
"Lord Ye Ming, you don't need to worry about that. I'll take full responsibility in case your interference causes any harm."
Hearing that, Ye Ming almost wanted to strangle the prince in front of him.
Couldn't he take a hint?
Just why was he making things difficult for him?
He was screaming in his heart:
Responsibility? How will you taking responsibility change anything?
What if I die?
Will it make any difference to a dead person if you take responsibility?
Forcing a smile to appear polite, Ye Ming said:
"Your Highness, I don't think there is any need for me to take action. Aren't they handling themselves well? Also, they are buying us time in the process."
Please take a hint and leave me alone... He wished in his heart, however, Ashen wasn't one to grant wishes.
Ashen knew how to make people like them act against their wishes.
He smiled and asked:
"Why don't we ask others for their opinion? If they agree that the sect master needs your help, then you will have to help, alright?"
Without even waiting for Ye Ming's reply, he turned towards the elders of the Eastern Sovereign Hall and asked with a polite smile:
"Everyone, I think Lord Ye Ming should go and distract Lin Feng so that the sect master and tribal heads can escape. What do you all think?"
Hearing his suggestion, the elders who were worried for the sect master's safety erupted in agreement:
"Yes, that is a sound idea."
"Indeed. Wasn't Lord Ye Ming already incharge of distracting Lin Feng? He should step forward to help."
They turned towards Ye Ming and requested:
"Lord Ye Ming, please save the sect master. You are our only hope."
Hearing their request, Ye Ming sighed in defeat.
He could no longer make excuses.
If he refused here, he would be treated like a villain and hunted down first.
He didn't want to sour his relationship with the Eastern Sovereign Hall.
"Alright, I'll go." Ye Ming said before dissolving into the darkness.
At the same time, Lin Feng's control had spread to over fifty whips, half of them defending the frequent attacks coming his way, and the other half targeting the three Emperor realm cultivators.
At this moment, Mao Lang's voice entered his ears:
"Brat, why don't you let me take over? I'll kill them this instant!"
Though his words were menacing, his voice was calm, as if he wasn't talking about killing cultivators but instead talking about cutting some vegetables.
Lin Feng, however, didn't like his offer. It felt as if his senior was saying, "You cannot do it; let me handle it."
"No Thanks, senior." He replied as a menacing smile appeared on his face. "I've already got them where I wanted."
In an instant, his presence changed.
His hands swung in the air, palms striking each other as a thunderclap reverberated in the air. Scarlet Lightning surged in the lightning circle, travelling to the whips, increasing their thickness and power.
Even their speed was enhanced.
Then, it all happened in an instant.
A bright explosion took place in the center of the lightning circle; however, there was no sound, only a bright burst of red light, coloring the faces of everyone red with its light.
The eyes of Blood Demon Lord, Tian Jian Patriarch, and the sect master closed involuntarily due to the bright onslaught of the scarlet illumination.
And, in the next second, three whips of lightning moved toward each of them like claws of a dragon.
Boom!
With their eyes closed, the only defense they had was the armor artifacts they wore on their bodies.
However, the Lightning whips were lethal—too lethal!
They tore through their armor with their heat and current.
And with more ease, tore into their flesh, turning their blood into vapors, breaking their bones with the force they carried with them while striking.
A burnt smell of charred corpse filled the area, striking the nose of Lin Feng, making him grimace with disgust.
And like that, Lin Feng reaped the lives of two intermediate and one late-stage emperor realm cultivator!
By the time the burst of light dimmed to allow the spectators to see clearly, everything was already over!
In the air, only Lin Feng floated with the circle of scarlet lightning behind him.
He looked like a sun deity who had appeared in the night to bless mortals with his presence.
The whips were like rays drawn by a child in their clumsy drawing.
"Hahaha! That's more like it!" Mao Lang laughed in amusement, praising Lin Feng. "To kill them and not even let them utter a scream... you have grown, brat."
