Chapter 92: Turning the Tide [Third Update]

Lu Fei had never imagined that the force unleashed by those exploding blood mists would be so terrifyingly powerful.

Blood mist filled everything around him, leaving him unable to see anything clearly.

He abruptly activated his Wheel of Reincarnation Heavenly Eye and took in the scene. The male serpent quasi-demon king had transformed into a streak of blood and fled into the distance, while the female cat quasi-demon king was also darting away at top speed, swift as lightning.

Lu Fei’s eyes turned cold. He had not expected those two demon kings to be so cunning. They knew they could not win, so they chose to run, and even their escape seemed to have been planned in advance.

He surged forward at once, unleashing the Dream-Mist Purple-Glimmer Steps together with the Movement Secret Technique, racing after them.

Just as he was about to catch up, the female cat quasi-demon king stopped and let out a cold laugh.

“Young man, you are truly formidable. You have surprised us greatly. To have driven the two of us to flee alone means you are already the strongest enemy our desolate beasts and zombies have. The next time we meet, I will personally take your head.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a cyan rune flared beneath her feet, and a ripple of energy spread out like a teleportation array.

Lu Fei slammed into it and saw a transparent barrier appear before him, blocking his path. Flames coiled around his fist as he struck forward.

Boom!

The tremendous force caved the barrier inward and twisted it out of shape, cracking it in all directions.

But the female cat quasi-demon king, along with the male serpent quasi-demon king who had turned into blood mist, had already been teleported away.

Boom!

Lu Fei threw another punch. The barrier gave a miserable cry and shattered, but the two quasi-demon kings had escaped.

Lu Fei was furious, but now was not the time to vent his anger here. He had to hurry to the front lines.

He used both movement techniques at once and shot toward the battlefield like a bolt of lightning.

He would not allow anything to happen to Qin Bailing and the others.

In life, there are always too many unexpected events: birth and death, joy and sorrow, separation and reunion.

Qin Bailing braced herself on one hand, refusing to fall. Her face was as pale as paper, her seductive lips bloodless, cold sweat pouring from her whole body. She could collapse at any moment.

The ice block before her, more than ten meters across, crackled with sharp popping sounds. The cracks spread wider and wider, and then with a thunderous boom, it exploded into countless shards, scattering in all directions as water vapor swirled through the air.

Page one of three.

The female butterfly quasi-demon king burst out of the ice, trembling all over. Her lips quivered uncontrollably, her teeth chattering with a rattling sound. Frost coated her face. Clearly, she feared the cold intensely and had been badly frozen, though she still retained some strength.

“Little girl, you are quite something. To be able to beat me into this state, you can brag about it for a while. Unfortunately, I’m afraid you won’t have the chance to brag much longer.”

The female butterfly quasi-demon king spoke coldly and stepped toward Qin Bailing one step at a time. A poison barb appeared in her hand as she prepared to end Qin Bailing’s life.

“The strong prey on the weak. That is the law of the apocalypse. But I refuse to accept it. I do not want to die.”

Qin Bailing truly did not want to die. She still had parents to protect, and friends with whom to face the future. She roared in defiance, only worsening her injuries. Her face turned even paler, and blood spilled from her mouth. Frost coiled around her entire body, as though she were gathering the strength for one final strike before death.

It was as if even heaven and earth were grieving.

Seeing this woman, the female butterfly quasi-demon king was shaken, a chill of dread rising in her heart. Since when had humans become so resilient and determined? In ancient times, they had only been weak prey.

With that thought, she hardened her resolve further, and the poison barb in her hand became even more ferocious.

This woman had to be killed now. If she were allowed to grow, she would become a tremendous disaster.

Ding-dong, ding-dong...

It sounded like the ringing of eight jade chimes, as if coming from the heavens, as if arising from the human heart itself.

Qin Bailing forced herself upright, gritting her teeth and bleeding as she staggered toward the female butterfly quasi-demon king. With a fierce cry, she lurched forward, her expression utterly resolute.

No matter the outcome, she had given everything she had.

Her vision was growing blurred, and she could no longer clearly make out the female butterfly quasi-demon king’s movements.

Just as her consciousness began to fade, a warm figure appeared before her, embraced her, and gave her a sense of safety. Then she lost consciousness.

That person, of course, was Lu Fei.

He had rushed here at full speed, dashing like the wind. Seeing the scene before him, his fury exploded. This female butterfly quasi-demon king had actually dared to harm the woman he loved.

Blue-white, lotus-shaped flames blazed around his body, while dragon aura swirled through the air.

He had become unimaginably domineering and terrifying.

Even the female butterfly quasi-demon king felt a chill of fear and staggered back several steps. When she met the young man’s eyes, it felt as though Death itself had descended. It was too terrifying.

Cold sweat poured down her body. Since becoming a quasi-demon king, she had never feared anyone. Yet she was now frightened into this state by a mere youth. She could feel that this young man was far too dangerous.

What was more, she had never even heard of a human youth this frightening. He was unfathomable; his true strength could not be seen through. It was utterly uncanny.

She kept retreating.

But Lu Fei would not give her the chance.

This butterfly demon dared to injure his woman, so she had to die.

A lotus-shaped flame appeared in his hand, blazing with searing heat and exuding an aura of wild, violent power. He hurled it fiercely at the female butterfly quasi-demon king.

Whoosh!

The scorching Flame of Nirvanic Rebirth passed through the air, twisting space itself where it went, and slammed into the female butterfly quasi-demon king.

Blue-white flames swallowed her whole. She howled desperately and screamed in agony, as though her soul were being torn apart.

But no matter how she cried, it was useless. In the end, she was burned to ash.

After all, this had been Lu Fei’s full-strength strike. It was the most terrifying kind.

Moreover, the female butterfly quasi-demon king had already been gravely wounded, which was why Lu Fei was able to annihilate her in an instant.

With a graceful sweep of his hand, Lu Fei drew the butterfly demon king’s crystal core into his grasp from afar. Holding Qin Bailing in his arms, he returned to the command room, ordered someone to care for her, and then charged back toward the battlefield.

The other quasi-demon kings and the zombie king sensed the female butterfly quasi-demon king’s extinction and were shocked to the core. They had no idea what had happened, and could only look at one another in alarm.

Then a young man appeared on the battlefield, his whole body wreathed in fire. Wherever he passed, zombies and desolate beasts cried out and were reduced to ashes.

“Boss!”

Zeng Hongsen was still fighting on his knees, nearly unable to stand. He was soaked in blood and covered in wounds, and he had fallen into utter despair. Then, in that moment of hopelessness, he saw his boss arrive and burn his powerful opponent to ash, granting him safety.

Boom!

A massive blue lotus flame appeared high in the sky and grew larger and larger.

The quasi-demon kings were horrified to the core. Who exactly was that youth? How could he be so terrifying?

How could such a monstrous flame even exist?

They had never heard of it before.

At that moment, the female zombie quasi-ruler received a message from a spirit cat:

“A youth has arrived at the battlefield. He defeated me and the serpent quasi-demon king. Withdraw immediately and regroup.”

Recommendation votes, rewards, and positive reviews.

The End of Chapter.
