Chapter 545 - 545 531 Death of Linger (9)

Chapter 545: Chapter 531: Death of Ling’er (9) Chapter 545: Chapter 531: Death of Ling’er (9) Longhun’s calmness didn’t give any opening to attack.

He was a young man, but he carried the demeanor of a seasoned middle-aged man, shaped by the ravages of time.

“Just come, I can handle anything.” Longhun said with a smile.

Ye Chen was somewhat incredulous.

His power was enhanced on another level.

All the power he could strive for, turned into lightning, a light wave covered Longhun. An endless rain of lightning hung on the outside of the protective circle.

Ye Chen constantly increased the energy output, one wave after another, trying to rip apart the whirlwind.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t succeed. Longhun was obviously more confident than him.

Suddenly a red lightning, like a sword, pierced the light wave. Like a monster, it roared and broke out, like a storm, swallowing all the lightning released by Ye Chen. With a loud boom, Ye Chen was blasted away, knocking down several buildings behind him.

Ye Chen quickly got up, a fireball flew towards him. Ye Chen jumped up, and the wasteland area behind him was engulfed in fire.

At this time, Jiang Zhuge found Ye Chen and said: “Yuan Menhai has broken into the city with his men, and our city gate has been breached, we can’t hold it. The people of the Dragon Slaying Clan have also entered. They have more people than us. We cannot cope with them. If we continue to struggle, the city’s citizens will be the ones to suffer.” I’m afraid we can’t hold on much longer.

Ye Chen took a look at the surroundings, which had already turned into chaos.

“Let’s retreat. Many brothers have already died. If we don’t retreat now, we may not be able to get out. We might all die here. It’s not worth it. We still have Wasteland City.”

A few ferocious monsters whose names could not be recognized roared in the sky.

Only then did Ye Chen slowly calm down a bit and say, “Fine, let’s retreat.”

Jiang Zhuge nodded.

Ye Chen said, “I’ll stay behind to cover our retreat. Let’s leave Tianle City.”

The members of the New City Sect began to retreat from Tianle City.

Yuan Menhai was overjoyed, and Xiao Bai was so happy that he couldn’t speak. But Longhun didn’t just want this result.

Longhun found Yuan Menhai.

Yuan Menhai said, “The members of New City Sect have fled.”

Longhun said, “We can’t let them escape. We must pursue.”

“I doubt we can catch up.”

Longhun smiled faintly and said, “Don’t worry, someone will stop them. We can definitely catch up.”

Yuan Menhai immediately thought of the Mitra Monk and asked, “Mitra Monk?”

“Yes, hurry up. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

Yuan Menhai immediately said, “Zun Yu, control Tianle City.” He couldn’t miss a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity like this. If they could truly defeat the New City Sect in one battle, the Wastelands would completely belong to the Third Demon.

Yuan Menhai, along with Xiao Bai and Ming Bei, immediately followed Longhun to pursue the members of the New City Sect.

Finally, after paying a heavy price, Ye Chen and his team barely managed to escape from Tianle City.

Ye Chen asked, “Is anyone chasing us?”

Jiang Zhuge nodded and said, “Yes, they don’t seem willing to let us go.”

Li Mo said, “They can’t possibly catch up with us.”

At this point, they wanted to return to Wasteland City.

Ye Chen’s mind was filled with thoughts of Longhun.

Jiang Zhuge could hardly believe it and said, “Damn it, how did the Dragon Clan sneak into the Wastelands without our knowing.”

Kong Sha said, “Weren’t they fighting against the denizens of the Fairy-Demon Realm on Dragon Slayer Island?”

Jiang Zhuge, full of surprise, muttered to himself, “The Fairy-Demon Realm…didn’t they get defeated, did they?”

“No way!” Kong Sha continued, “The Fairy-Demon Realm sent out three thousand people to attack Dragon Slayer Island.”

“Then how do you explain this?” asked Li Mo Wen.

Ye Chen asked, “Did you see Mitra Monk?”

Everyone shook their heads. Jiang Zhuge said, “I haven’t seen Mitra Monk.”

Ye Chen said, “This is bad, there might be an ambush ahead.”

But before he could finish speaking, a fireball came flying, a giant beast roared, and the dragon roared continuously, attacking directly from the front.

They immediately blocked their way, trapping them in a valley.

It didn’t take long for the people led by Longhun to kill them, and Yuan Menhai also came to kill them.

Seeing themselves surrounded, everyone became anxious, not knowing what to do.

The valley was an excellent place for an ambush.

At this point, the disciples of the New City Sect were somewhat panicked, and this panic would become more and more obvious. Right now, the encirclement was gradually forming. If they didn’t break out of the encirclement at once, without any assistance, they wouldn’t be able to break out.

Ye Chen knew that no matter the cost, they had to break through. They couldn’t let everyone die here.

Jiang Zhuge came over and said: “We are about to be surrounded.”

“You are most familiar with this place, is there any way out?” Ye Chen asked.

“There is one, up this steep mountain path, but it is extremely dangerous. We could easily be attacked, it will result in severe injuries or even death, it will be very costly.” Jiang Zhuge said.

Kong Sha said, “We can’t care about other things now. If we get surrounded and don’t get help from the outside, we will all die here.”

Jiang Zhuge continued, “Yes, no matter the cost, we must break through before they close in. Even if the price is extremely heavy, it’s better than all of us dying here.” We can only take advantage of the fact that their people haven’t fully caught up yet.

Ye Chen had no time to hesitate and said, “Yeah, let’s do as you say.”

Let’s break through.

Ye Chen spoke again, “You take the lead, Kong Sha and I will cover the rear.”

They began moving toward the rugged mountain road.

At this time, a giant monster was trying to entangle them. On that rugged mountain road, it was already a great challenge just to walk smoothly, let alone to fight. Especially since night was already falling.

The Winged Dragon in the sky kept dishing out fireballs, resulting with numerous people falling off the cliff.

No one knew how many disciples were dead. Only after these sacrifices had they managed to break through the encirclement before being fully surrounded.

Longhun glanced over and Mitra Monk remarked, “They’ve broken through already; I’m afraid we won’t be able to catch up.”

Ming Bei added, “They paid a heavy price, we have achieved our goal.”

Regardless, Longhun insisted, “Mitra Monk, you go after them.”

Ming Bei questioned, “Can they even be caught up to?”

“I don’t need them to be caught.” Longhun glanced at Yuan Menhai and said, “You come with me to Wasteland City.”

Yuan Menhai immediately nodded in understanding. By now, members of the New City Sect had already moved in a different direction.

Longhun added, “Don’t let them stop.”

“Understood.” Mitra Monk, with a few disciples, chased in the direction where the disciples of the New City Sect had escaped.

Longhun and Yuan Menhai, with a large number of men, headed to Wasteland City.

Jiang Zhuge questioned, “Are they still pursuing us?”

“Yes, but there seems to be much fewer of them,” one of his men answered.

Jiang Zhuge confidently declared, “They can’t possibly catch up to us.”

But Ye Chen, who had stopped, voiced, “This isn’t good.”

Bewildered, Jiang Zhuge inquired, “What’s wrong?”

“They’re heading towards Wasteland City.”

Jiang Zhuge suddenly understood. They had been fleeing in the opposite direction for several two-hour periods.

Ye Chen immediately thought of Ling’er.

Everyone began to panic.

They were very familiar with the area, and since it was dark, there weren’t many pursuers behind them. They quickly shook off Mitra Monk’s men.

They headed directly towards Wasteland City.

They only arrived at Wasteland City at dawn. When they crossed the hillock, they could see the smoke of war rising from the other side.

The Third Demon and the Dragon Slaying Clan were just outside the city.

Ye Chen was at a loss, shaking his head, wanting to rush into Wasteland City.

He was held back by Jiang Zhuge and the others. If they rushed over now and were discovered by the Dragon Slaying Clan, none of them might survive.

Jiang Zhuge and the others held Ye Chen back and said, “We’ll send people through the secret passage into Wasteland City right away.”

At this point, they only had about five hundred people left.

Ye Chen was anxious and didn’t know what to do. He snuck along a ravine towards Wasteland City, but then noise came from ahead.

Jiang Zhuge and the others immediately stopped.

Dozens of disciples from the New City Sect, all wounded, emerged from the secret passage. The man at the front was Can Mo, completely covered in grime and his clothes severely tattered. He looked utterly disheveled, his face downcast and despondent.

Jiang Zhuge quickly ran over to him and called out to halt the desolate Can Mo. Can Mo lifted his head, saw Ye Chen, immediately knelt down on the ground, and sobbed, “Wasteland City is no more.”

Ye Chen could no longer care about anything else, he asked, “Where is Ling’er?”

Can Mo lifted his head, choked on his words, then lowered his head again, unable to look at Ye Chen, he just motioned back to the increasing number of disciples emerging from the secret passage.

Ye Chen ran in.

A body, which had already turned cold, was being carried out by someone.

Ye Chen ran over and kneeled down.

Jiang Zhuge yelled, “How could this happen?”

Can Mo replied, “They came very quickly, with groups of Winged Dragons from the get-go; we couldn’t resist them at all.”

Mu Wanlan also burst into tears, “The houses all collapsed, there was chaos everywhere. Ling’er couldn’t escape in time because of her lame leg. By the time I went back…”

The blood on Ling’er’s forehead had already congealed. She was still wearing the wedding dress from the day they got married.

At that moment, Ye Chen completely broke down. He held the breathless Ling’er tightly, crying out in agony. It was as if the whole world was taken away from him all at once, and he collapsed on the ground.

Can Mo cried out, “What exactly happened? How could there be so many people?”

Unable to contain himself, Jiang Zhuge choked out, “It’s not just the Third Demon’s men, but also those from the Dragon Slaying Clan.”

“Weren’t you supposed to be in a decisive battle? How did you end up here?”

At this time, no one could speak. Every face was etched with exhaustion, as one after another they found places to sit.

Ye Chen clung tightly to Ling’er, the past flooding his mind. It was as if time came to a standstill, his tears dry from crying.

The wind was howling, a light rain began to fall, as if the atmosphere wasn’t mournful enough.

Those who spent the whole night on their journey didn’t want to speak anymore.

Wasteland City had become a wasteland, completely razed under Longhun’s blade.

The hardest blow for Ye Chen was the death of Ling’er, especially since she died as part of the scheme set by his younger brother. He had held on for so long, convincing himself that everything would be fine, because they had something to count on.

But today he was at a total loss, he just wanted to ask the heavens, why?

The rain continued to pour intermittently, it seemed as if time had really stopped.
