Chapter 949: Chapter 944 Folded Space II

"The fact that His Highness the Prince personally takes action this time to apprehend the fugitive who killed the Marshal is a demonstration of your noble character, contributing your strength to the Empire."

"It is certain that the Marshal’s soul in heaven will be pleased and grateful to you."

One of the Imperial Ministers from the farewell group, a fat man weighing at least four hundred pounds, constantly wiped his sweat with a handkerchief as he spoke.

"I just hope that when you are pursuing and apprehending the fugitive, you will take into account the surrounding infrastructure losses. If you can lure the other party to an open area to resolve the matter, that would be best."

The strength of Prince Lei Ling is beyond doubt.

But his reckless behavior, ignoring constraints and acting without regard, is also well-known.

Every time he takes action, as long as he personally takes part, it always results in various large-scale destructions and ’collateral damage.’

"Valen, how can you say that about me? I always remember to consider the impact before taking action.

It’s just that Galus has a bit of an appetite."

Prince Lei Ling smiled and said.

"Furthermore, there are two other Destruction-level operators gathered around the Fragments this time. Respectively, they are the Mountain Pig and the Cloud Demon," the fat man stated carefully.

"No problem, last time the Cloud Demon escaped from my hands, this time I’ll deal with it altogether."

Prince Lei Ling looked back at the Imperial Capital behind him.

"Alright, let’s move out."

He turned and strode into the beam of light from the spaceship.

Swish.

The numerous Imperial Guards behind him saluted in unison, standing at attention.

The five close generals from one side of the Prince’s Mansion followed him into the light beam.

Toot... toot... toot....

The military band slowly began to play the farewell music.

*****************

Chen Feiyang stopped in a noisy metal wasteland.

In this desolate wilderness, he unexpectedly encountered a forest of steel naturally formed from scrap metal remnants.

He wasn’t curious, only planning to bypass it from the side.

However, such a metal forest invariably signifies all sorts of trouble and misfortune.

Unfortunately, his efforts were futile.

After detouring for several miles, he had to return to the original spot, as no other path besides this forest allowed passage here.

In other places, there were bottomless abysses ahead, only here did a naturally-formed structure resembling a metal bridge connect both sides.

Then he went in.

And then, he encountered trouble.

"So it’s you, kid."

A man with a white Breeding Armor with a metal dragon tattoo on his left shoulder stood calmly in front of him.

"Who are you?"

Chen Feiyang was already familiar with the White Shield organization he had been encountering.

The edges of the metal Breeding Armor on the man’s body clearly bore the distinctive mark of the White Shield.

"White Dragon Host."

The man spoke indifferently, his shoulders wide, and his tall body clad in Breeding Armor appeared as if he was wearing white armor.

"So you are indeed with White Shield."

Chen Feiyang became highly alert.

White Bird, White Dragon Host, it seemed obvious that this suddenly appearing man was likely a powerful figure on the same level as White Bird.

"What are you worried about?" White Dragon Host said lightly. "I’m not like that fool White Bird, who couldn’t defeat people and ended up framing others with a hostage like a stray dog. Truly laughable."

"What do you mean... what do you want?" Chen Feiyang asked cautiously.

"My purpose for coming here. Defeat me, and I’ll tell you."

As soon as White Dragon Host finished speaking, his upper body expanded slightly.

"Dragon Mark Fist - Fang Force!"

Before Chen Feiyang could respond, he lunged forward.

His right fist seemed to bring forth a fierce, bone-chilling white airflow, like a raging beast, fiercely heading towards Chen Feiyang’s head.

"Ring Thorn Belt!"

With no time to think, Chen Feiyang decisively drew his sword, and a circle of silver ribbon suddenly lit around his body, blocking the opponent’s fist.

With a massive metal-twisting noise.

Chen Feiyang retreated several steps, leaving five footprints with a thud, stabilizing his body.

He was horrified, completely unprepared for the opponent’s strength to be this strong, at least seventy percent stronger than White Bird!

"Not bad! Again!" White Dragon Host immediately charged forward, launching a second Dragon Mark Fist Fang Force.

The massive fist brought an intense wind sound, once again striking towards Chen Feiyang’s head.

Once hit, his sole outcome would be a shattered skull, death was certain.

Helpless, he could only use his strongest defensive Secret Technique again, the Ring Thorn Belt.

Another round of metal twisting noise, and the two separated.

Chen Feiyang gasped for breath, his entire body covered in white sweat.

White Dragon Host remained unchanged, as if he hadn’t moved at all.

"Is this your strength? Is this the level of someone who defeated White Bird?"

Disappointment filled his eyes.

"You..." Chen Feiyang smiled bitterly. "I just want to save someone."

"I can guarantee your woman’s safety."

White Dragon Host flexed his wrists, making cracking noises.

"As long as you fight me with all your strength. No... or rather, if you don’t kill me here.

I’ll go back and kill the woman White Bird caught!"

A sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"You!"

Chen Feiyang’s heart went cold.

"Since that’s the case, then... bring it on!"

He took a sudden step forward, the short sword wielding his most familiar killing move.

Bam!

The short sword collided with Bailong Su’s arm, producing a dull sound.

********************

Lin Xin walked alone on the narrow mountain path.

The winding mountain path was hardly a road, but after many people had traveled it, it gradually formed spiral-like trails around the mountain waist.

Though called a mountain path, it was essentially a muddy trail faintly visible through the weeds.

He had no cultivation, so naturally he couldn’t use the decree to fly through the air.

But relying solely on attribute points and the external skills he cultivated before, he could effortlessly avoid places that might dirty his body.

His boots brushed through the grass, creating a clear rustling sound.

In the distance lay a vast and deep valley; from Lin Xin’s position, it was almost hundreds of meters high, below which were thick dark green groves.

The air was cold and damp, somewhat piercing.

Lin Xin walked alone on the mountain path, with no movement around him, not even the sounds of insects or animals.

"This must already be Dujing Peak. The so-called fragments should be here.

But I don’t know where to find them."

Lin Xin walked along the mountain path, rapidly expanding his spiritual power to scan.

His immense spiritual power, like a scanner, meticulously spread over thousands or even tens of thousands of square kilometers, encompassing the entire Dujing Peak easily within his mind.

To his surprise, viewing from above, Dujing Peak’s terrain resembled a giant human face.

The five peaks connected together constituted the entire Dujing Peak, but their positions corresponded to the facial features of the human face.

Where are the people who entered before?

It’s impossible that he’s the only one who came here.

Lin Xin had clearly seen the Cloud Demon enter ahead of him before, yet now he couldn’t find anyone.

Moreover, the folded space had been open here for so long, it was unlikely that no one had entered before.

Lin Xin squinted his eyes, feeling slightly impatient.

He was leisurely but not entirely idle; annoying tasks like solving mazes and puzzles should be left to others.

He always preferred to overpower others with strength.

"As long as it’s a space, it will have a limit to withstand power. Naturally formed spaces have exceedingly strong limits, but unnatural spaces are different."

Lin Xin extended his right hand, pressing down virtually.

The mountain before him suddenly collapsed.

Exposing the thick soil and rock layers below.

Boom!!

Another, stronger crush.

A massive palm imprint appeared on the mountain’s slope, and it was getting deeper.

Soon, as the palm imprint penetrated the mountain, Lin Xin quickly sensed a powerful mysterious force trying to twist and correct his destructive power.

He snorted coldly, relaxing some of his own suppression.

Boom!!

This time, the obstruction felt by the palm imprint was instantly shattered.

The palm imprint field faintly sensed that it had entered some mysterious space.

"A cavity inside the mountain?"

Lin Xin dispersed the palm imprint field, blowing away the dirt and sand that blocked his view.

Suddenly he saw a giant cavern appear before him.

Inside the cave, strange auras could be felt constantly surging.

It was like steam emitted from boiled rotten eggs, an endless stream of stench flooding out.

"Disgusting indeed."

Lin Xin slightly relaxed his suppression, instantly creating a distinct isolating field around him.

With a forward step, he entered the black cavern space.

The darkness in the space was like thick fog, hovering and drifting slowly.

Lin Xin blew lightly in the dark.

A strong wind scattered, swirling terrifying air currents in every direction from his center.

All the black fog was completely blown away.

Snap.

A flame from a lighter lit up the darkness.

Only then did Lin Xin realize he was standing in a narrow, damp, dark passageway.

In front was a slightly left-bending passage leading into unseen darkness.

Behind was the same identical dark passage.

"Hehehehe...."

A blurred long-haired woman in a white dress was faintly visible in the darkness of the passage behind, emitting a strange laugh.

Her arm was visibly broken, and her neck was twisted into a terrifying posture, seemingly ready to fall off at any moment.

Her face was covered by her long hair, but it was still faintly possible to see some parts of her skin rotting.

"Finally someone.... has come to accompany me...."

The woman’s voice was elusive, mixed with a sinister laugh.

Slash!

Lin Xin suddenly appeared beside her, grabbed her hair, and slammed her against the wall.

Bang!

Brain matter and blood were smashed out, smeared across the wall.

Dragging the woman down, Lin Xin pulled her before him.

"Finally, someone alive, speak up, where are the fragments?!

Don’t try to deceive me; my patience is thin. If I don’t get anything useful within ten breaths.

Don’t even think about leaving; stay here with me forever."

He extended his tongue and licked his lips.
