Chapter 1419 - 1417: If I Survive, You’re the First I’ll Kill!
A moment of silence.
A silence filled with shock and disbelief.
Lan Zhengqing and Zhu Ruoling both widened their eyes, unable to believe their ears.
Zhu Ruoling was the first to regain her senses, running in surprise to the Divine Phoenix, grabbing her hands with joy written all over her face.
"Really?! Divine Phoenix Sister?!"
The Divine Phoenix smiled slightly and nodded. "Really, why would I lie to you?"
"That's great!" Zhu Ruoling was so excited she almost jumped up, seemingly forgetting that Zhu Qilue's life was still uncertain.
After all, being able to go to the Water Clan and be with Lan Zhengqing, she couldn't be happier.
Lan Zhengqing, however, did not feel pleased.
He always felt something was amiss.
Although he had been insisting on bringing the two back with him to the Water Clan, the fact that the Divine Phoenix agreed so lightly made him feel uneasy.
He gazed intently at the Divine Phoenix, and after a long while, he softly spoke.
"Since everyone agrees, let's go quickly; it's not safe to stay here for long."
Lan Zhengqing wanted to quickly end this feeling of unease. Only by returning to the Water Clan, he felt, would this feeling disappear.
It was as if he originally had everything under control.
Suddenly, someone appeared out of nowhere, pointing at him and exposing all his secrets.
It was as if he had been stripped naked, exposed to everyone.
No matter what.
He could not accept the existence of such a person.
The feeling of being seen through.
Was quite unpleasant!
When Lan Zhengqing turned around, his expression immediately became fierce and evil, his eyes coldly exuding killing intent and a chilling light, his cheeks slightly twitching.
Divine Phoenix.
What exactly do you want to do?!
If you intend to ruin my plans, I will never forgive you!
His back exuded a violent and terrifying aura.
The carefree Zhu Ruoling naturally couldn't sense it; she was still happy and joyful because the Divine Phoenix had agreed.
The Divine Phoenix, however, immediately sensed this aura and suddenly looked at Lan Zhengqing.
"Divine Phoenix Sister, let's hurry up and go. Zhengqing Brother is right; soon this place might be swarmed with Blood Demon Wolves, let's go quickly."
Zhu Ruoling pulled the Divine Phoenix, catching up with Lan Zhengqing's pace.
The three of them walked one after the other towards the Water Clan.
...
Meanwhile.
Lin Fan and Zhu Qilue's steps became slower and slower. Especially Zhu Qilue, having just recovered from illness, Lin Fan's blood was not a panacea, and his body was still somewhat weak.
Moreover, having run for so long, it was beyond his abilities; the reason he could still move was purely the instinct to survive.
"Lin... Lin Fan... if you don't... find a way... I really can't go on... I can't run anymore... my legs feel like they're filled with lead... I'm going to die..."
"Hang in there a little longer."
"Hang in... hang in until when... can't you... consider that I'm still... an injured person?"
"It's not like I was the one who hurt you, blaming me won't help."
"Damn... heartless..."
Actually.
Lin Fan wasn't truly heartless; he had been observing the surroundings, trying to find a good place to shake off the Blood Demon Wolves' pursuit.
But after running all the way, it was just barren land, with nowhere to hide.
Moreover.
The Blood Demon Wolves were chasing closely, almost biting Zhu Qilue's backside, making it very difficult to escape their sight.
He could noticeably feel that Zhu Qilue's steps were getting heavier.
If things continued like this, in less than ten breaths.
Zhu Qilue would be caught!
There was no other option.
It had to be now or never!
He had just escaped from prison, thinking he could rest for a moment, but didn't expect to encounter such a big problem.
"Didn't expect your Five Elements Realm to have both Giant Dragons and Blood Demon Wolves, surviving must have been tough for you."
"Yes... Yes, indeed..." Zhu Qilue replied with a bitter face, drenched in sweat. As he looked up, he found Lin Fan smiling at him, his heart skipped a beat, giving rise to a bad premonition. "Wha... What's up?"
"So, since it's already been so tough for you to grow, might as well make it a little tougher."
"Huh? Lin Fan... What the hell are you going to do?!"
"I'll be back soon, remember, keep running forward, don't ever look back."
"Lin Fan, damn you, you're actually running away by yourself... damn!"
Instant Escape!
Before Zhu Qilue could finish his sentence, Lin Fan's figure disappeared without leaving even a shadow.
The speed was extremely fast!
A thousand times faster than lightning!
Zhu Qilue didn't even know which direction Lin Fan went, he could only curse inwardly.
The Blood Demon Wolves chasing behind were also startled by Lin Fan's sudden disappearance.
However.
The Blood Demon Wolves quickly adjusted their target.
After all, having lost one delicacy, only one was left.
As such.
All the Blood Demon Wolves focused on the prey, changing their target to Zhu Qilue, accelerating their pursuit as if afraid Zhu Qilue might escape too.
Zhu Qilue wanted to run, but he didn't have Lin Fan's abilities.
"Lin Fan, damn you! You dared to leave me behind, don't forget it was me who brought you to the Five Elements Realm! Now that you've grown wings, you're ignoring me, right! Remember this, if I survive, you'll be the first one I kill!"
His voice echoed across the land, roaring like thunder.
Even.
It stopped Zhu Ruoling and the Divine Phoenix miles away.
"Divine Phoenix Sister, did you hear something?"
"Yes."
"It seems like there are many Blood Demon Wolves..."
"Let's go quickly."
Zhu Qilue's stamina had reached a critical point, on the verge of collapse. Every step he took was completely supported by willpower, his legs completely numb and out of his brain's control.
In his heart, he had cursed Lin Fan's ancestors to the eighteenth generation, without missing a single one.
But.
No matter how much he complained, how much he cursed, Lin Fan did not reappear, as if he had evaporated from the Human World, not even a shadow could be seen.
"Damn you, I should have killed you on Sumeru Continent when I had the chance! I wouldn't be in this miserable state today, about to be eaten by these beasts. Lin Fan! Remember this!"
After shouting out the last words, Zhu Qilue truly had no strength left.
He staggered and stumbled with his last step, the world around him going dark, losing balance and falling to the ground in a sorry state.
It was over.
Completely over!
Zhu Qilue mumbled to himself, deciding to curse the fleeing Lin Fan with his last breath.
"Lin Fan, damn you..."
Before he could shout out, he felt the back of his collar being grabbed, his entire body suddenly lifted into the air as if flying.
Zhu Qilue, who was about to close his eyes, was shocked and quickly opened them.
He found himself suspended mid-air, below was a massive pit, probably as big as the entire Fire Clan!
And it was pitch-black, bottomless.
"This... this is..."
Before he could react, the numerous Blood Demon Wolves clearly did not expect such a big trap in front of them, and by the time they discovered it, they couldn't stop, falling one after the other.
It was also due to the Blood Demon Wolves' incredibly fast speed, so in less than a breath's time.
The massive, bottomless, pitch-black pit was filled with Blood Demon Wolves, giving out waves of savage howls.
Next second.
Without warning!
A golden light parted the clouds, emanating from the sky.
Suddenly!
The Xuanyuan Sword appeared in front of Zhu Qilue's eyes.
"What?"
Then, the Xuanyuan Sword, like a meteor, trailing a long tail, fell straight toward the pit!
