Chapter 4838: Enraged
"Do you think you can escape?" Feng Jiu scoffed coldly, her red figure poised in mid-air. Her hands began to form an ancient symbol before her, and as they moved, visible spiritual energy rapidly intertwined, weaving itself into a shimmering net in the air.
"Heaven and Earth Net, spread!" With a clear, resounding shout, she pushed her clasped hands forward, and a ray of light shot forth. Instantly, the net that had quickly manifested on the ground connected with the net in the sky, completely blocking the Great Emperor Northern Flame's escape route.
The powerful air currents at his feet twisted and coalesced into a net, swiftly forming a giant web that blocked his path and enveloped him, leaving no avenue for escape. Witnessing this, the Great Emperor Northern Flame turned back, his expression grim, his sharp, cold gaze fixed on the red figure.
"Feng Jiu, have you truly thought this through? If you genuinely become my enemy today, it's uncertain who will live and who will die!" His cold voice carried an unmistakable threat, and his formidable aura as a powerful being erupted forth. Even with only 30% of his power remaining, he refused to display the slightest weakness.
"What a joke!" Feng Jiu retorted with a cold laugh, her icy eyes fixed on him. "From the moment you and your men became my enemies and tried to kill me, we have been enemies. Do you believe there's any chance of stopping now?"
She extended her hand, and a blue-edged sword with a vibrant green glow materialized. She pointed the sword diagonally downward, and sword qi burst forth, unleashing the full, powerful pressure of her being.
"You are an emperor, after all. Running away like this, what's the difference between you and a rat?" The utter contempt and disdain in her eyes completely ignited the Great Emperor Northern Flame's fury.
"How dare you!" A furious roar echoed through the air. The emperor's rage caused the very atmosphere to tremble. The middle-aged man standing beside him buckled under the overwhelming pressure, feeling his blood boil within him. In the next instant, he spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to his knees, barely able to remain upright.
"How arrogant and conceited Feng Jiu is! Today, I will see just how capable you really are!" The enraged shout burst from the Great Emperor Northern Flame's mouth. The anger festering in his heart was impossible to quell; his mind was in turmoil, and his breathing grew rapid.
Even though he had only 70% of his strength left, he was still a great emperor, accustomed to being revered and high above all others. When had anyone ever dared to compare him to a lowly rat that everyone sought to exterminate? This
Feng Jiu, a mere woman, dared to be so arrogant. Today, even if it meant expending his entire remaining strength, he would teach her a lesson! He would make her understand his power!
"Then open your dog eyes and take a good look!" Feng Jiu scoffed coldly. In the very next moment, her red figure transformed into a streak of light, hurtling towards him at blinding speed. The Blue Edge sword in her hand shimmered with fierce sword qi, radiating a chilling, murderous aura.
"You're looking for death!" The Great Emperor Northern Flame's throat tightened, a mouthful of blood rushing up. He tasted the coppery tang but swallowed it back down. Seeing Feng Jiu's murderous intent charging towards him, he moved his hand, and a double-edged spear appeared. With a swift swing, it cut through the air with a sharp, whistling sound.
"Clang!"
He leaped forward, gathering his remaining strength, and rushed to meet her. His long spear intercepted Feng Jiu's sword, but as he closed the distance, now only three steps away from her, his heart suddenly sank with a chilling realization.
