Chapter 245: Chapter 218: Shen Ning’Er’s Domineering Entrance (2)
In the distance, thousands from the Alien Race Alliance Army were also rushing over at high speed.
"Where do you think you can run now, Gao Neng?" Mu Feifei snorted. Gao Neng had nowhere to run; he was completely at her mercy.
A dozen or so high-rank experts were also staring coldly at Gao Neng.
Mu Feifei was in the sky.
Members of the Lizard Race were on the ground below.
And on all sides, the others stood guard.
It was a truly inescapable trap. They weren’t worried in the slightest that Gao Neng could get away. The only thing they needed to consider was how to make him die a painful death.
"What’s so great about ganging up on me? If you’ve got the guts, fight me one-on-one!" Gao Neng gritted his teeth. Escape was impossible now. Other than fighting it out, he couldn’t think of any other way.
If that was the case...
Then he would fight!
He would take down as many as he could. Taking one would be a victory; taking two would be a bonus!
"Fine. Then I, Mu Feifei, accept your challenge today!" Mu Feifei had once again donned her ice-blue battle armor, looking impossibly aloof.
Just then, the princes who had been lagging behind finally caught up.
"Ninth Princess, why do you need to dirty your hands with trash like him? Leave him to me!" the Third Prince of the Beastman Race immediately yelled.
"Get lost. I’m going to kill him with my own hands!" Mu Feifei snorted.
"Right away! I’ll cheer for you, Ninth Princess! And my White Jade Bone Forging... you have to give it back to me!" The Third Prince of the Beastman Race immediately stopped yelling.
"I don’t want a single thing he has on him!" Mu Feifei naturally knew what the other princes were thinking, but she couldn’t care less.
"So magnanimous of you, Ninth Princess!" the Third Prince of the Beastman Race immediately flattered.
The other princes, however, remained silent.
’Compete with Mu Feifei for this?’
’It wasn’t necessary!’
Their only goal was to see Gao Neng dead.
"Why not let Prince Bernie of the Beast Race have a go? It’s his right! Mu Feifei, if I were you, I’d let him fight first!" Gao Neng immediately protested.
’He still wanted to take someone else down before he died.’
’Against Mu Feifei, how was he supposed to manage that?’
’With his pretty face?!’
"Die!" Mu Feifei clearly had no intention of wasting words with Gao Neng. She charged straight at him, her two longswords thrusting toward his throat one after the other.
’A pity I haven’t reached the fourth rank yet...’ Gao Neng lamented. If he had been given just another ten days or half a month, he might have been able to break through.
Dying without ever enjoying the benefits of his hidden talent felt truly suffocating.
But now...
’Let’s do this!’
’Sword Drawing Technique, plus Life Form Transformation, plus the Ninety-Nine Consecutive Slash!’
In a single breath, Gao Neng activated every enhancement he possibly could.
SWISH!
His blade flashed.
Once again, a strike from Mu Feifei’s sword sent him flying back ten meters.
As for the Ninety-Nine Consecutive Slash... he had at least managed the first strike. So, was he far from reaching ninety-nine? ’Not far, not far at all!’
Gao Neng charged forward again.
A sword pierced his chest!
But it didn’t matter.
He had his inner armor!
Mu Feifei’s sword couldn’t pierce it so easily!
BOOM! As her sword struck the armor, Mu Feifei was actually forced back three steps. A cold glint flashed in her eyes.
"So? Am I tough or what?" Gao Neng tilted his head back and ripped off the Mask of the Prince of Wood Elves, revealing a face of such flawless, breathtaking handsomeness that it could shake the heavens and move the very gods.
"It seems you really do have some treasures on you," Mu Feifei naturally guessed that Gao Neng was wearing some kind of protective inner armor.
And a very high-grade one, at that!
As for the other princes, they were inexplicably stunned upon seeing Gao Neng’s true face.
"This guy is handsome?!"
"Even more handsome than when he was wearing the Mask of the Prince of Wood Elves!"
"A human can actually be this handsome? It’s simply inconceivable!"
Before Gao Neng, the princes all felt somewhat inadequate. He utterly crushed them in the looks department; even if they didn’t want to admit it, they had to.
Of course, this human was about to die anyway!
And indeed, it was just as the princes expected...
After saying her piece, Mu Feifei charged at Gao Neng again. And unlike her previous "probing" attacks, this time, she was clearly holding nothing back.
PSHIIK!
This time, her sword didn’t strike his chest.
It was his thigh!
Gao Neng had no armor on his thigh. The sword pierced straight through, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
Mu Feifei’s second sword moved to strike again.
But Gao Neng had already slashed down with his own blade.
BOOM!
The two separated.
Then, Mu Feifei charged forward once more. With another thrust, Gao Neng’s left arm was pierced through. His body was now dyed red with blood, his chest heaving violently.
’The gap in our strength really is huge.’ Gao Neng was certain that Mu Feifei was at least a Rank Six, placing a full two ranks between them.
Most importantly, Mu Feifei wasn’t just any ordinary Rank Six.
She was a genius among them.
’How could he fight this?’
’There was no way to win!’
"Your powerful self-healing ability means you won’t die so easily. But it will make your death all the more painful... How wonderful!" Mu Feifei licked her lips and swooped down on him again.
Gao Neng was nearly at the ground by now, but he still wouldn’t give up.
’If he had to die, he would die with dignity!’
’He would never beg for mercy!’
"You want to kill me? You’ll have to pay a price!" This time, Gao Neng didn’t try to block, letting Mu Feifei’s sword lunge toward him. He was gambling.
He was betting that Mu Feifei wouldn’t aim for a vital spot with this strike.
PSHIIK!
Gao Neng’s right arm was pierced through.
’The gamble paid off!’ Gao Neng’s jaw tightened. He dropped his blade and lunged forward, wrapping both arms around her in a fierce hug and letting the sword blade slide deeper through his arm.
Finally, he had a hold of Mu Feifei.
This took Mu Feifei by surprise. At such close range, she was unable to thrust with her other sword.
And in that instant...
Gao Neng bit down.
He bit down on Mu Feifei’s neck.
"Even if I fucking die, I’m leaving a bite mark on you!" Gao Neng was spitting blood, but he was grinning with satisfaction as he bit down.
"NGH!!!" A jolt of pain shot through Mu Feifei’s neck. She tried to push Gao Neng away but found that his pierced arms still possessed surprising strength.
She couldn’t shove him off.
"Die!"
A vicious look finally appeared in Mu Feifei’s eyes.
She slammed a palm against Gao Neng’s forehead.
BOOM!
Gao Neng’s body was sent flying like a kite with a broken string.
At that same moment, a thunderous mechanical roar echoed through the air. A figure charged in, a pair of radiant wings flaring from her back.
Mu Feifei’s gaze froze.
Because the figure was moving too fast!
So fast that she had no time to react.
The next moment, all she could see was a long spear striking toward her chest like a dragon.
Her heart leaped in alarm, and she twisted with all her might.
But she still couldn’t dodge it completely.
PSHIIK!
The spear pierced the spot between Mu Feifei’s shoulder and chest, punching straight through her ice-blue armor.
The wings on Mu Feifei’s back flapped furiously as she tried to fly into the sky.
But the immense power behind the spear gave her no such chance, driving her down from the air and pinning her toward the ground.
BOOM!
A deafening crash.
A deep crater appeared in the ground.
And Mu Feifei was pinned in the middle of it by the spear.
As for the figure holding the spear, her expression was cold and proud.
Her long, jet-black hair fluttered in the wind. She just stood there, clad in a golden, feathery garment, the two wings of light on her back shimmering constantly.
"It’s... you?!" How could Mu Feifei possibly not remember that golden, feathery garment? And how could she not recognize the heroic, awe-inspiring young woman before her?
It was this very young woman who, together with Gao Neng, had destroyed her plans back in the Forgotten Land, causing the web she had spun for years to completely unravel.
"That’s right, it’s me! Shen Ning’Er, newly appointed Lieutenant Colonel of the Human Alliance Military Department!" Shen Ning’Er stared at Mu Feifei, twisted the spear in her hand, and thrust it deeper. "This is for that palm strike you landed back in the Forgotten Land!"

However, I’ll try my best not to miss any updates. For now, please enjoy this long Chapter as a show of my sincerity! I put out a lot of words today, feeling great! I’ll continue to work hard!)
