Zhao Ji’s vitality was vanishing quickly…
Although he was a combat cultivator, he was helpless when faced with two heavenly dao-level powerhouses with abilities no weaker than his.
He was hit by the fox-face’s God’s soul at first, which froze his body’s movements, and then ambushed by an archer that caught him off guard.
Not only that, the arrow was imbued with Aza’s lingering Abyssal energy as well.
It devoured Zhao Ji’s remaining consciousness just from that slight contamination.
The fox-face chuckled when he saw Zhao Ji die. “He fell into the trap so easily.”
He merely gazed in the direction of the broken Stargazing Pavilion before ignoring Guan Yi completely. He joined the rest in besieging Wan Peng in a flash. “He’s only left with less than one-third of his Odyl. Let’s work together to kill him first!”
He did not bother to use voice transmission to say those words at all. The three people from the Star Cluster heard him loud and clear.
The fiend-faced masked man charged at Wan Peng after hearing that.
“You guys are shameless!” Xing Ling’er shouted in rage.
She wanted to save Wan Peng, but the person with the mask that looked like an inexperienced youth blocked her path.
“Don’t try to save someone else. You can’t even protect yourself.”
Almost at the same time, a pitch-black arrow shot through the air, blocking Xing Ling’er’s way.
It was only now that she realized that there was one more archer watching from the darkness.
If she did not handle this situation carefully, she might end up dying even before Wan Peng did.
Wan Peng instantly realized that it was a certain-death situation as he was besieged by three heavenly dao-level powerhouses on his own. The fox-faced and fiend-faced masked men surrounded him, while the man in the swollen face mask had an ability level that was no weaker than his!
“Run!” He shouted to Xing Ling’er through voice transmission directly without any hesitation.
He did not even manage to inform her of the three spies’ names before his God’s soul was suppressed by the fox-face’s blue eyes.
At that moment, the black arrow that arrived like a god of death caught his split-second delay without hesitation and shot through the air like lightning.
However, Wan Peng’s God’s soul was slightly more powerful than the combat cultivator Zhao Ji. He snapped back to his senses after being briefly dazed.
He turned his head rapidly and barely escaped the sure-kill arrow.
Though he avoided having his head crushed, he did not manage to dodge the attacks from fiend-face and swollen-face.
The fiend-face’s spear did not lose out to the speed of the black arrow. Almost at the same moment Wan Peng avoided the arrow, the spear penetrated his chest directly.
At the same time, the swollen-face’s sword gleam cut across Wan Peng’s waist.
His vitality was fading quickly, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. It turned into a bloody mist enveloping the three people in masks not far away.
Realizing that something was off, the three of them retreated frantically.
However, fiend-face was surprised when he realized that the spear that he had stabbed into Wan Peng’s chest could not be removed.
Just as he was wondering whether he should let go of the spear in his hand and retreat, a chilly gleam emerged from the bloody mist.
A silver gleam shot out and landed between the fiend-face’s brows directly.
The fiend-face had not expected that this person would be capable of such an attack on the verge of death.
He did not manage to dodge it at all.
A ringing sound was heard, and the silver gleam hit the mask. It merely stopped for a moment before continuing to penetrate past the mask.
However, fiend-face was a heavenly dao-level powerhouse after all. He reacted during that short moment of his mask blocking the attack.
He let go of the spear directly. At the same time, while retreating at a high speed, he covered his forehead with both palms.
A moment later, he escaped out of the bloody mist. His palms were dripping with blood, dyeing the entire mask red.
The silver gleam faded eventually.
“F*ck, I almost failed!” Fiend-face vented in rage.
“So close…” Half of Wan Peng’s body fell to the ground. He knew that, were it not for the fact that he drained too much Odylic Force from summoning the Great Void Mirror earlier, he would have definitely killed that man with that attack.”
Were it not for the fact that the Great Void Mirror exhausted too much of their Odylic Force, it would have been impossible for Zhao Ji to have been killed in one hit, and Guan Yi would not have been severely injured so easily…
However, all these were just “ifs”.
Wan Peng was helpless. He could sense his vitally fading and his life ending.
Nevertheless, he used the last vestiges of his strength to turn his head in Xing Ling’er’s direction. He spoke to her one last time through voice transmission, “Run now…”
Before he completed his message, his vitality faded away completely.
“Wan Peng!”
The two of them were less than 1,000 meters away from each other. She sensed it the moment Wan Peng died.
She released a shriek of rage.
The green saber gleam that she released out of fury forced her opponent to retreat temporarily.
However, almost at the same time, she saw the other two men arrive beside him.
She was focused instantly and secretly said to Guan Yi, who was in the collapsed building, through voice transmission directly, “Senior Brother Guan, run! Seize the opportunity since they haven’t noticed you. You must spread the news about the spies! I’ll buy you as much time as I can!”
She did not bother to wait for Guan Yi’s response and her Kingdom descended without hesitation. She enveloped the area tens of thousands of kilometers around her.
She did not only cover the four men in masks before her, but also the archer who was hiding in the darkness as well.
“Do you think you can buy time for that man with the surname Guan just by enveloping us in your Kingdom?” The man in the inexperienced youth’s mask chuckled softly.
Xing Ling’er’s pupils shrunk slightly when she heard those words.
She did not expect him to see through her plan.
“It’s unfortunate… You’ll find out soon enough why it’s futile for you to buy him time,” the man added.
“I’d like to see how you guys are going to behave atrociously in my Kingdom!” Xing Ling’er scoffed.
Green gleams lit up throughout the entire Kingdom. Countless saber formations of various sizes were activated almost at the same time.
At that moment, there were green saber gleams everywhere in the entire Kingdom.
At that very second, those five people’s Kingdoms descended almost at the same time!
Before Xing Ling’er could attack, her Kingdom was already trembling.
Blood was dripping from the corner of her mouth, but she was still holding it back.
“Stop trying to outdo yourself. You might have been able to live for a little longer had your Kingdom not descended. You’ll only die faster by doing this. Even if we don’t attack now, your Kingdom won’t be able to hold on for half a minute.” There was mockery in the man’s tone.
If their Kingdoms were of equal strength, a Kingdom could contain another Kingdom. However, it could not interfere with the rules of the Kingdom it enveloped.
However, if a Kingdom contained two other Kingdoms of the same level, it would be taxing. It would only drain the owner of the Kingdom’s Divine Power and Odyl even further.
If a Kingdom contained three other Kingdoms of the same level, it would collapse quickly. The reason being was that the three Kingdoms that were enveloped did not have to do anything, and they could crush the Kingdom they were in just by releasing their volume and weight.
Now, Xing Ling’er had enveloped five opponents of the same level at the same time by herself.
Their five Kingdoms descended at the same time. As soon as they released the volume and weight of their Kingdoms, they could crush hers like a piece of cake.
Nevertheless, Xing Ling’er wiped off the blood from the corner of her lips and scoffed. “I finally know who the five of you really are!”
