Chapter 1464 “Tearful Ling Yan (2)”
Feeling much better now after his brief recovery, Winger stands up and readies himself: “I’m ready Princess, we can continue to look for the king.”
……
Outside the gates of the city, all was in ruins due to the massive damage to the landscape. Even so, Di Cang remains firm against the constant hammering of that destructive thunder and hurricane level winds.
Against this level of devastation, not even Keeper Ling could keep his old heart at ease. There’s shock and there’s fear plastered all over his face right now because he expected the battle to be over by now.
“Has this demon king grown to such an extent? If it was anyone else from the Celestial Palace taking on those bolts, they would’ve fallen long ago.”
Pity……
If only we had destroyed him properly back then when we had the chance, then I never would’ve needed to waste the precious sword’s power on him today…. I can’t let this go on. If this demon king continues to grow at the rate he’s doing now, then it would just be a matter of time before he overturns the entire Celestial Realm!
Gritting his teeth at the thought, Keeper Ling once again reaches out to grab at the ancient sword’s handle. However, instead of wielding the blade like some would expect, the artifact seems to have a mind of its own and came alive by sucking the old fella’s energy dry like it’s a black hole.
In contrast to the withering look of the user, the lightning above in the sky only grew in kind, giving off a sensation that its tearing apart the world due to the new influx of fuel.
This was a terrible turn of event for Di Cang of course. He’s been drained already after being repeatedly bombarded by the destructive bolts of electric might, and now that body of his had started to show signs of depletion, meaning it’s a matter of time before he falls if nothing was done.
Naturally the king of all demons couldn’t allow that under any circumstances. There are his subjects behind himself that needs protecting, but more importantly, there’s his children that’s still hiding in the palace. No matter what happens, the man and father won’t and couldn’t allow himself to fall!
Suddenly, the blurry image of Bai Yan’s face seems to materialize within Di Cang’s view in this dire time. It’s just that instead of the iconic red dress that she’s always worn, the dazzling and gorgeous woman had on a pearly white garb, giving him a smile so wonderful that it’s captivating, exactly like a thousand years ago where his heart was swept away with one simple look.
“Demon King Di Cang, a thousand years ago you would never have allowed yourself to be placed in this predicament. Aren’t you regretting it, regretting all your past deeds? If not for your brash act of barging into the Celestial Palace and saving that wretched woman, none of this would be happening today!” Seeing the other side’s about to give, Keeper Ling decides to put the final nail in the coffin by spewing out the snarky remarks.
Make no mistake though, this arrogant and grumpy Keeper may have the upper hand right now, but even he knows that without this ancient artifact in his possession, he would never be able to overcome the other side.
Narrowing his eyes into a glare, Di Cang stares down menacingly at the annoying thorn that wouldn’t shut up, “You emotionless old fossils could never understand what it means to love a person, that’s why you can say such idiotic things to me. Yan Yan is my world. Without her, this world means nothing. I will give up my body and soul if it means saving her. A thousand years ago I did so, and thousand year later that is today I will do the same if needed.”
Di Cang may not be able to remember everything from the past, but he more or less remembers the crucial bits of why he became so weak.
