The Lord's Empire

Chapter 967: Death

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

The countless City Lords naturally realized that the magic formations were the reason for their asphyxiation, so they quickly went to destroy the formations. However, right after getting close, they powerlessly fell from the sky and smashed out craters on the ground, struggling to breathe like the other Fish Scale people.

This caused the other City Lords to look quite shocked; they immediately got out of range of the white magic formations and tried to destroy them using long-range attacks.

However, before they were able to do so, white spears giving off terrifying might shot towards them. What surprised them was that even if they destroyed those spears, the white magic formations would still appear.

In that instant, it was as if all of the oxygen within their bodies were sucked away by some sort of power. The City Lords standing in the air fell like raindrops and struggled in pain.

This scene shocked all of the Fish Scale people; even the City Lords were unable to resist at all – just what were those white magic formations, and what was going on? The Fish Scale people were utterly confused.

Great Qin’s Cavalry continued to flood forwards towards the Fish Scale people. Now, they did not use white spears anymore and instead gripped the crystal spears on their backs, and they threw them out towards the Fish Scale people.

The target still was not the Fish Scale people; the crystal spears fell on the ground, causing blood-red magic formations to appear, and a formless energy rippled outwards.

“Ah! What’s going on, my real body was brought into the Heaven Awaken World!” a cry of terror sounded out, making everyone feel shocked.

The fact that they would not die true deaths was their greatest trump card, allowing them to be completely fearless. However, if they had to face true death, they would not be so reckless because no one did not fear death.

And yet, this had been taken from them so easily. Thinking about the people painfully suffocating on the ground, they realized that if they stayed here, they would die, and it would be a true death.

It was not just the Fish Scale players and soldiers who were scared; even the City Lords were terrified now. They started to desperately run backwards, while Yu Xuan was forced to also reveal himself. He had tried stepping into the range of those white magic formations, and he had felt the oxygen being stripped from his body.

He had defended with all his might, but there were simply too many white magic formations, and the suction force they gave off was too powerful, causing his expression to fall.

Swish!

The sound of the air being torn could be heard as a white light containing terrifying power flew towards Yu Xuan.

Yu Xuan raised his hand, and a massive formless energy shattered the white ray of light. The spear turned into motes of light and disappeared. A white magic formation appeared, giving off an immense suction force as much of the oxygen within Yu Xuan’s body was sucked away again.

Yu Xuan immediately retreated, because not only was the oxygen in his body being stripped away, but he also felt a terrifying amount of danger from Zhao Fu.

Boom!

Demonic qi rushed into the sky, causing all of the demonic qi in the heavens and earth to madly gather, forming a sun that gave off a demonic light and an immense amount of demonic intent. Countless creatures felt a chill and terror.

Zhao Fu directly unleashed his full strength, his body giving off terrifying demonic qi. He raised the Sky Demon Sword high and slashed out a monstrous black sword light that seemed to be able to split open the heavens towards Yu Xuan.

Yu Xuan’s expression fell as he did not hold back either. He took out his golden trident and stabbed towards Zhao Fu. A massive wave of power spread out from the trident as a golden beam of light shot out, seeming to dye the entire world golden.

Boom!!

The golden ray of light and black sword light collided, resulting in a shocking explosion. Light and sword qi shot everywhere as a massive gale rippled out.

However, the golden ray of light was split in half by the black sword light, causing it to turn into motes of light, while the black sword light continued on towards Yu Xuan and blasted him back.

Yu Xuan flew back ten or so meters and coughed up a mouthful of blood, an unsightly look on his face. It had been a while since they had last met, and he found that Zhao Fu’s strength was many times more powerful than before; how could he have such power?

What he didn’t know was that when Zhao Fu was on the verge of death and his three Fate Stars had exploded with power, the power he received was even more powerful, and he would have been able to instantly kill Yu Xuan.

In that state, even a Guardian Beast was no match for Zhao Fu. Only the manifestation of the world’s consciousness was able to beat Zhao Fu back; it was evident how terrifying Zhao Fu was. However, Zhao Fu could only go into that state when he was on the verge of death, and he was not in control at all in that state.

“Big bro, are you alright?” a little boy ran over and asked caringly after he saw his invincible brother bring injured by someone.

Yu Xuan inwardly sighed. He understood that he was not a match for Zhao Fu at all with his current strength, and if he stayed, he would most likely be killed. When that came, his little brother would definitely be killed by Zhao Fu as well.

Clang, clang, clang…

Countless chains flew out from the air with immense force. They were not targeting Yu Xuan but his little brother beside him.

Zhao Fu had long since received intelligence that it was this little boy who had opened the rifts. This person could not be allowed to live, so Zhao Fu did not show mercy as he attacked.

Yu Xuan felt quite furious, and he loudly roared. He swept out with his trident, causing countless golden fishes to shoot out like swords towards the countless chains.

Clang, clang, clang…

The sounds of metal colliding rang out as the chains and golden fish collided, causing sparks to fly everywhere and for shockwaves to blast out.

At that moment, Yu Xuan did not hesitate to hug his little brother as he turned into a ray of light and shot away and disappeared.

He was not a match for Zhao Fu, and he could not get rid of those strange white magic formations. Great Qin had come extremely prepared and seemed to have been waiting for the Fish Scale people to come into the Southern Continent before destroying them together. This time, Yu Xuan felt incredibly helpless and could only feel ashamed as he ran away.

Now that the World Protector had run, the terrified ordinary people did not dare to stay at all; they all quickly dispersed as well.

Before, it had been a massive tide of Fish Scale people ferociously eyeing Great Qin as if they were going to devour it, but now they could only run back in terror like a pile of loose sand.

They could not help but feel terrified; Great Qin’s magic formations had brought all of their bodies into the Heaven Awaken World, and those white magic formations could make them die painful deaths. They felt incredibly powerless and terrified of death.
