Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Rumble! Rumble!
The giant sword fell down directly above Chen Xiaobei’s head.
The crushing force came down and split the ground open, ripping a 10 meter wide and few hundred meter long ditch.
Chen Xiaobei and Linghu Shuang’s bodies had fallen into the ditch. No one saw what happened to them.
“You little twat! You’re finally dead! Haha! So, you think you could fight me, Lu Changwei? Maybe in your next life! Wahahaha!”
Lu Changwei was high as a kite.
“Wow! How powerful! Is that the strength of a demigod? How scary!”
“Master Lu really didn’t lie to us. We can destroy all of the Demonic Beasts with this combat formation!”
“Master Lu is strong and matchless! Master Lu is great and awesome!”
The people at the front lines cheered joyously as if they had already won.
The Demonic Beasts who had been observing them were completely flabbergasted.
“Wait… what? That Chen guy is so weak?! He didn’t eve get a chance to counterattack! He died just like that!” the dark purple giant python said.
“That doesn’t make sense at all! Why didn’t he use the blood-red painting? Isn’t that his lifesaver?” The giant ape scratched its head.
“We were all fooled by that kid!” The Tyrant Dragon King said. “He may have been weak, and that painting was just a common weapon. He acted like he was really powerful, and made us weak in our knees till he was able to stop our army from attacking!”
“That means we fell for his trick?” The python said. “That kid has one hell of a courage! If we had charged, he would have died already!”
“He has the guts and the brains! Because of that, he managed to act like he could overpower all of us here! That’s why we fell for his trick!” said the ape.
The Tyrant Dragon King nodded. “That Chen kid was talented. Unfortunately the people he saved are useless! Pathetic!”
“So, what should we do now?” The python asked.
“Do you have to ask?” The ape answered. “That giant aqua sword must be the human’s final trump card! After that, we just need to attack all of them together, destroy it, and defeat the humans!”
“No!” The Tyrant Dragon King shook its head. “We don’t have to do anything! The humans will be defeated on their own!”
“What? How is that even possible? If we don’t fight, how are they going to be defeated?”
Both the ape and the python looked at their king quizzically.
“I have a plan!”
The Tyrant Dragon King smiled; a knowing look in eyes.
Inside the canyon.
Due to the fact that the entrance of the canyon was narrow, most people could not see what was happening outside.
The ones behind could only find out by word of mouth from the people in front, that thr deafening sound they heard earlier was Lu Changwei killing Chen Xiaobei.
“How could it be? How could Lu Changwei kill the person who saved us?”
“Lu Changwei has crossed the line! Without the time Mr. Chen bought us, how were we supposed to make the formation?”
“Alright! Alright! Enough nonsense! Dead people cannot come back to life! Even though Lu Changwei is an asshole, we still have to rely on him to survive!”
“That’s right! Everyone hold the formation! Don’t get distracted!”
Except for the ungrateful bastards in the front line, the people behind had a sense of right and wrong, and were grateful to Chen Xiaobei. They were also pissed at Lu Changwei.
Still, they were in a precarious situation where Lu Changwei was their only hope.
No matter how much they despised him, they still had to transfer their force into the combat formation for Lu Changwei to use.
At the back end of the formation, Miao Yiyue shot Wenren Muyue a worried look.
“Muyue, are you alright?”
When they heard about Chen Xiaobei’s death, Dong Xiaowu and the others started mourning.
But Wenren Muyue remained still, not crying nor making a fuss, but was even more resolute than ever.
“I’m fine!” Wenren Muyue’s eyes were cold, and her words were laced with indignance.
“Muyue! Don’t frighten us! You have never had this murderous intent before. What are you thinking about? Please don’t do anything rash!”
Miao Yiyue was surprised to see the genteel and dignified Wenren Muyue suddenly filled with such frightening murderous intent. That was not the Wenren Muyue he knew!
“Don’t worry, I won’t!” Wenren Muyue said coldly. “I will live well! I will use whatever time I have left in my life to take my revenge on Lu Changwei! On all of the Lu Family!”
“…”
Miao Yiyue and the others were completely speechless.
They did not expect Chen Xiaobei’s death to affect Wenren Muyue so much that it changed her personality. It was like she became a completely different person!
Rumble! Rumble!
There was a sudden movement outside the canyon.
The giant aqua sword was reformed again.
Lu Changwei was about to launch an attack at the Demonic Beasts!
“It looks like Lu Changwei is going to win for sure!” Wei Ruilong frowned.
“He’s borrowing the power of one million people. So, what if he wins?” Qin Luo scoffed.
Dong Xiaowu had his palms folded into fists. “If Lu Changwei wins, he will become a Northern Wilderness Starfield hero because he would have saved the future of the whole starfield!”
All at once, their faces fell.
The one million people in danger were all nobles from the planets in Northern Wilderness. They were the future of Northern Wilderness Starfield!
If Lu Changwei saved them, it would mean that he saved the heirs of tens of thousands of powerful noble families!
These nobles would then owe Lu Changwei their lives.
In the years to come, these young people would become the head of their families, and they would pay great respect to Lu Changwei.
Then, with the people’s heart turned to Lu Changwei, everyone in the Northern Wilderness Starfield, even the Temple Overlord, would have to give way to him!
This was supposed to be Chen Xiaobei’s win.
Not only did Lu Changwei kill Chen Xiaobei, he even took away this exultant victory!
Disgusting! Despicable! Deplorable!
Having Lu Changwei controlling the Yin Aqua King Slaying Battle Formation meant that he had the lives of the one million in his hands. If he wins, all of Northern Wilderness Starfield would only remember him.
Chen Xiaobei would be quickly forgotten, and no one would remember this outsider.
That was the reality! The cold, hard reality!
Kill!
Standing outside the canyon, Lu Changwei let out a ground-shaking warcry.
The road to fame and success and to have his name known for generations to come now all depended on this sword!
