Chapter 883: Chapter 668: You want to play? Just you?
In the middle plane, Ruosha and Isrile were paving the way for Long Yi. And in the lower plane, Long Yi was facing a group of fierce and aggressive people.
At that moment, the Emperor of the Sanctuary Empire, under the leadership of Saint Karen and Saint Ailun, looked down arrogantly at Long Yi, while a group of cold-faced, mana-rippling magical warriors stood beside the Emperor.
In front of Long Yi, the Emperor of The Divine Auffa Empire and his three princes also stood there, their eyes filled with disdain.
"Saint Danze, why aren’t you content playing in your own territory? What business do you have bringing your third magic unit to my doorstep?" the Emperor of The Divine Auffa Empire began.
"What business? What a fine question, Saint Jialin. Of course, I’m here to reclaim what’s mine and teach two juniors a lesson, to remind them who they should provoke and who they shouldn’t!" replied the Emperor Saint Danze of the Sanctuary Empire.
"Yours? What is that?" Emperor Saint Jialin of The Divine Auffa Empire asked.
"Don’t pretend to be ignorant! It’s the young Thunderflame Beast, of course!" thundered Saint Danze.
"How amusing," Saint Jialin grinned, "You say it’s yours just like that? Why don’t you call it and see if it responds to you?"
This was clearly child’s play, but in reality, both sides were merely looking for an excuse. Knowing that Saint Danze had even sent the famous third magic unit, Saint Jialin understood that he intended to escalate the situation.
"Whether it responds to me is irrelevant. Once I capture it and take it back, I have my ways of making it respond," said Saint Danze, his gaze icy as he looked at Ai Lin. At that time, Ai Lin was playing with the Thunderflame Beast, not even sparing him a glance. Her demeanor was simple: I don’t give a damn about you.
Saint Danze’s gaze grew colder, yet a tall figure blocked his view.
"Old man, it’s very rude to stare at a girl like that, you know?"
If arrogance was the gauge, clearly nobody could surpass Long Yi in that regard.
"You’re Long Yi?" This was the first time Saint Danze had met Long Yi, and just like in the rumors, the disdainful expression seemed almost like Long Yi’s trademark.
"Now that you know I’m Long Yi why don’t you get lost? Your Jenna has been killed by me, and that Mai Zhuo too. I also killed the soldiers you sent to stop me. Do you think your neck is stronger than theirs, that I wouldn’t be able to break it?"
The corners of Emperor Saint Danze’s mouth of the Sanctuary Empire twitched. Indeed, this bastard truly looked down on everything! He did not take my status as an emperor seriously at all!
"Boy, want to play?" Saint Danze gestured to Long Yi.
"What are you, a fart? I play with you, and you, as weak as a chick, have the audacity to ask for a game? I’m afraid I’d play you to death!" retorted Long Yi, his lips curled in disdain.
Saint Danze considered himself widely experienced, but he had never met anyone as infuriating as Long Yi! Then again, as one of the few emperors who dared to challenge The Divine Auffa Empire, who else would have the nerve to speak to him so bluntly? Saint Danze, who had never been so insulted, breathed heavily, his vision darkening with rage!
"I’ll kill you! I swear I’ll kill you!" Saint Danze pointed at Long Yi and roared.
"Stop fooling yourself. With just you? I don’t mean to insult you, but even a thousand of you wouldn’t stand a chance against me even if I closed my eyes," said Long Yi still with scorn.
"Third magic unit! Attack! Go! Kill Long Yi! Kill him!" roared the Emperor.
"Saint Danze, it seems you don’t know where you are, huh? Coming to my territory and causing trouble?"
Finally, Emperor Saint Jialin of The Divine Auffa Empire could not hold back anymore. This was the hunting ground of The Divine Auffa Empire. Saint Danze had come charging with a crowd, so arrogant as if he did not acknowledge Saint Jialin, the esteemed Emperor of The Divine Auffa Empire, at all.
"Where is my army!"
Roared Saint Jialin, and immediately, numerous shadows took flight. Countless soldiers formed ranks in the sky.
"Where is my army!"
Saint Danze roared in kind.
Once more, countless soldiers charged from the rear.
"Idiots."
Long Yi muttered, then turned to leave.
"How is it that our Stellar Realm Arena King is afraid of my troops?" Saint Danze said with a smile.
"Afraid? Of who? You? Ha! Have you lost your mind?" Long Yi, who had just taken a step away, stopped and turned back.
"Is that so? Take a look at yourself, Mister Long Yi. Aren’t you running away?" Saint Danze said.
"Which eye of yours saw me running away?" Long Yi retorted.
"This one!"
Saint Danze pointed to his own eye in response.
"Then I’ll help you dig it out!"
Boom!
In an almost instantaneous move, Long Yi hurled a hefty Fighting Aura light spear with great velocity. Saint Danze didn’t expect Long Yi to make a sudden move and was slow to react, but his guards already charged forward, pulling Saint Danze away and using their bodies to block Long Yi’s light spear.
There was a clang as the light spear smashed against the guards’ heavy runic armor, creating a burst of light. The light spear shattered, but the armor remained unscathed.
Long Yi shook his head, "Tsk tsk, such a waste, can’t even dodge an enemy’s attack."
It wasn’t until now that Saint Danze truly reacted.
"Bastard! Attack! Attack! Kill him! Kill him!!!" Saint Danze roared hoarsely, while the soldiers behind him swarmed forward. Saint Jialin also waved his hand at the same time, and his soldiers charged out, "Take them down for me!"
However, at this moment, an extremely terrifying surge of Mana caused almost everyone from both sides to stop in their tracks.
That surge came from one person.
Ai Lin.
Roar!
A non-human roar sounded, and the massive Red Demon Scorpion slammed down onto the ground, with Ai Lin standing on top of one of its pincers. Behind her, the Auffa Halo kept spinning and growing larger!
"Discussing my mount in front of me, speaking casually with my guard, and resorting to violence so quickly, you really don’t take me seriously at all."
Ai Lin’s face wore a smile, but this smile was laced with immense anger.
"Do I need to take you seriously, woman?" Although Saint Danze was somewhat surprised by Ai Lin’s strength, he was still confident in his Third Magic Squadron.
"No, you don’t need to," Ai Lin replied, "because you’re about to lose your eyesight very soon!"
Ai Lin suddenly raised her hand, and the sky above flickered with an Array, followed by the space being torn apart as a Giant Light Sword slowly descended from the air!
The Giant Sword, with its terrifying presence, caused people below to gasp for air even though only half of the sword’s body was revealed. And when the full Light Sword appeared, the immense pressure even forced some of the weaker individuals to collapse onto the ground!
"What kind of Magic is this? How can this be possible!" Saint Danze yelled.
"This is the Dragon Slayer Sword! It’s an Ancient Magic from the post-Giant era!" an old Mage behind Saint Danze exclaimed loudly. They had to shout, for the Resonance in the air had grown so massive that their ears filled with rumbling and they could barely hear the surrounding sounds.
The so-called post-Giant era referred to the time after the Giants had left. At that time, the Giants were gone, and many lives that the Giants had once aided attempted to avenge them, so they used the knowledge left behind by the Giants to create many horrifying spells, and the Dragon Slayer Sword was one among them. The Dragon Slayer Sword summoned an enormous Light Sword using a terribly powerful Magic, and everyone beneath the sword, friend or foe, would feel the pressure. As the Giant Light Sword slowly descended, the pressure increased and, once the sword was fully formed, those beneath it wouldn’t think of leaving and would be firmly locked in place.
Of course, how effective this Magic would be against the Dragon Clan had not been verified because after the Giants left, all the Dragons also lost their power. But at least for Humans, this Magic was already powerful enough.
With the appearance of the Dragon Slayer Sword, Saint Danze was dumbfounded. A spell of this scale should be called a strategic Magic, right? That girl named Ai Lin seemed to make no preparations at all, casting it with just a gesture! It was just too strong!
However, now wasn’t the time to be amazed!
The Third Magic Squadron was already on the move; they had no special way to counter this Ancient Magic. But ultimately, there was always one simplest strategy to deal with any Magic.
Clashing spells! Interference generated by spell bursts can weaken another spell, and with enough power, any spell can be countered.
Soldiers gathered together, launching various spells. When they collided with the giant light sword, its descending speed was immediately slowed. But despite the delay, it didn’t stop—the light sword continued to descend slowly!
And once it landed, no one would be able to resist it!
"Father, we should retreat!"
Saint Karen and Saint Ailun urged at the same time. However, Saint Danze bellowed, "No way! Nobody can make me back down! I am the Emperor of the Sanctuary Empire! Where I stand is my territory! Only I command others to retreat!"
Saint Danze stared fixedly at Ai Lin, whose mana astonishingly surged once more! The giant light sword in the sky suddenly expanded in size!
"Father, they might really die here..." the First Prince of The Divine Auffa Empire, Saint Cassio, whispered to Emperor Saint Jialin.
"I know, but why shouldn’t they die here?" Fervor twinkled in Saint Jialin’s eyes.
The First Prince was taken aback but then he realized that his father was fully prepared for war. The Sanctuary Empire had been challenging The Divine Auffa Empire for many years, with all sorts of frictions, large and small. However, these frictions had not escalated to the level of war. But today, Emperor Saint Danze of the Sanctuary Empire had led his troops into the hunting grounds of the Auffa, an act of war. If Ai Lin could really kill Saint Danze here, then Saint Jialin could seize the opportunity to declare war and subjugate the Sanctuary Empire to The Divine Auffa Empire in one fell swoop!
Every emperor of an empire is full of ambition; they simply wait for an opportunity to act.
Now, the opportunity had arrived.
The larger light sword descended faster, bringing with it greater pressure!
"Let’s retreat now, Father! Otherwise it’ll be too late!"
Saint Karen and Saint Ailun, the two brothers, were terrified. They desperately tried to convince their father to leave, as there was no need to prove that the other side wouldn’t dare to kill them with their own lives. But it was clear that Saint Danze was no longer listening.
However, at that moment, they heard an old laughter.
"Hehehe, such a strong spell, but that’s not how you use it!"
An inexplicable rule assaulted from afar, the mana in the sky dissipated rapidly, and the Dragon Slayer Sword’s mana could no longer be maintained, gradually fading away into the air.
The resonance in the air disappeared, and an old man with a smiling face descended from the sky, his Auffa halo dazzling and even more blinding than Ai Lin’s.
"Mage Slade... That old bastard really did join the Sanctuary Empire," Saint Jialin muttered under his breath, his expression growing dark.
"Mage Slade! You finally arrived!" (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to continue reading.)
