Chapter 408: Prince Feng, Will He Die?
The bite tore a chunk of flesh hard from the neck of Guard Cong.
Sky Demon Bei tore off a piece of flesh, then grabbed Guard Cong's throat with one hand. Consumed by excruciating pain, Guard Cong felt as if all his Primordial Power had been sucked away all at once. His body went numb and weakened, while wisps of Hei Wu madly invaded his body.
After gnawing off the raw flesh, Sky Demon Bei gulped a few times and directly swallowed the meat.
"Ts...ts... The flesh and blood of Human Warriors are indeed delicious." Sky Demon Bei remarked, still wanting more, as he licked the blood from his teeth.
His cold gaze swept over the people on the ground, and those bewitching pupils, landing on anyone, made each of them feel a wave of terror and dread.
"How dare you, a Sky Demon, run wild inside Xingxiu Cave! Release Guard Cong immediately." Nine Rank Alchemist Wen Xu was furious, unleashing his spiritual power without restraint, striking at Sky Demon Bei.
Spiritual power surged like a flood of beasts, sweeping towards Sky Demon Bei.
"Foolish, did you really think that you alone, could stop me?" Sky Demon Bei bared his teeth and let out a sharp shriek.
That shriek exploded in everyone's ears, causing their souls to shake and a chill to rise spontaneously.
The four guards from Kaijiang Prince Manor, under that shriek, began to change at a rapid pace.
Their human forms rapidly metamorphosed into creatures that were neither human nor beast.
Seeing those creatures, Ye Lingyue immediately remembered the monsters on the Xixia Plain, impervious to swords and spears.
"Sword Slave, protect your Family Head well." Ye Lingyue signaled Sword Slave to protect Feng Xun, picked up Little Zhiyo with one hand, who swiftly underwent Blood Transformation, joining Ye Lingyue in the battle.
Sky Demon Bei proudly stood in mid-air, controlling Guard Cong from above, looking down at the Martial Artists below who were plunged into chaos.
Guard Cong's face paled, his blood having dyed his armor red.
"Sky Demon Bei, you can't escape. Elder Wang and Master Hong Ru will not let you go," Guard Cong, pale from blood loss, had even forgotten the feeling of pain.
Sky Demon Bei nibbled at his flesh bit by bit, as if savoring a delicacy.
This was an extremely cruel and dangerous person; his captured prey, he never liked to kill immediately; instead, he enjoyed watching his prey beg for mercy under his gaze and slowly tortured them to death.
"Keke, lad, don't be so tough. The Demon Clan is naturally stronger than your Human Clan. Look at your companions; they're no match for those demonized guards." Sky Demon Bei sneered, pinning Guard Cong's head down, forcing him to watch the battle on the ground.
The demonized guards of the Prince Manor were astonishingly powerful; the most terrifying thing was that they feared no attacks from Primordial Power or spiritual power.
Wen Xu, guarding Princess Qing Bi, faced peril after peril.
Guard Cong's heart grew colder by the moment as he suddenly realized that they all might die tragically within Xingxiu Cave.
But at that moment, something unexpected happened that startled both Guard Cong and Sky Demon Bei.
There was a "boom," and a demonized guard's body exploded abruptly.
And the one who killed that guard was... Ye Lingyue?!
The unconstrained smile on Sky Demon Bei's face tightened slightly as he scrutinized the well-coordinated Ye Lingyue and Little Zhiyo.
"Sky Demon Bei, weren't you bragging about how formidable your Demon Guards are? Cough, cough, yet they were still killed," Guard Cong tasted the blood in his throat, and seeing the sullen look on Sky Demon Bei's face, he felt an unprecedented satisfaction.
"That woman is troublesome," Sky Demon Bei said darkly, keeping his gaze on Ye Lingyue.
Ever since Ye Lingyue shattered the Light Talisman Ball, Sky Demon Bei felt a familiar but strange aura from her.
This aura invoked fear even in the heart of Sky Demon Bei.
Although he did not know exactly what that aura was, with his sensitivity far surpassing that of the Human Clan, Sky Demon Bei knew that he had to eliminate the woman before him.
Eliminate her, she must be eliminated.
"What are you trying to do!" Suddenly, Cong Lv felt the hand that was choking him loosening.
The ropes made of Hei Wu tightly bound him.
"Hehe, the Human Clan is indeed foolish. That woman never would have thought, when she handed the Yi God Void-breaking Arrow to me, that I would use this arrow to kill her," said Sky Demon Bei, as he gripped the Yi God's Void-breaking Bow in his hand, pulling the bowstring tight. His slender eyes, with a hint of demonically seductive charm, were brimming with danger.
The bowstring was drawn tight like a full moon, aimed straight for Ye Lingyue's heart.
"Be careful!" Cong Lv cried out in alarm.
Engaged in intense battle, Ye Lingyue's eyelids twitched as if in slow motion. She turned her head and saw the blood-red arrow, just inches away from her.
Suddenly, someone pushed her body away.
Ye Lingyue only felt a blankness in her mind, as if something had exploded in her chest.
Feng Xun... Why was Feng Xun in front of her?
The Yi God Void-breaking Arrow had pierced into Feng Xun's body, and a seductively scarlet blood sprayed forth from his chest.
The world turned blood-red before her eyes as Feng Xun's body fell silently, landing in her arms.
Tears burst forth uncontrollably as Ye Lingyue stared at Feng Xun's instantly pale face, feeling as if her heart was torn apart with grief.
Around her, footsteps clamored noisily.
"Prince!"
"Prince Feng!"
Various voices resounded in chaos near her ear.
With a faint smile, Feng Xun looked at Ye Lingyue, trying to raise his hand but feeling it unbearably heavy.
"Ling Yue, don't cry, I'm alright, don't cry." Droplets of warmth fell on Feng Xun's face. He looked at his girl with heartache as his slender fingers wiped away Ye Lingyue's tears, yet the more he wiped, the more tears flowed.
Feng Xun wanted to tell Ling Yue that he would be fine.
Inside his body resided a powerful "him."
Even if he were to die, that person would still protect "her."
"Feng Xun, you won't die, I won't let you die." Ye Lingyue felt an unprecedented terror, hastily pressing her hand over Feng Xun's wound, trying to infuse Cauldron Breath into Feng Xun's body, but the blood from his chest continued to gush out.
Beside them, Sword Slave was frantically taking out all sorts of antiseptic medicine, attempting to stem Feng Xun's bleeding, but to no avail. As soon as the Elixir Pills touched the wound, they were instantly washed away.
That was an arrow shot from the Yi God's Void-breaking Bow.
A Divine Weapon of the Heaven Rank that could instantly kill Reincarnation Realm Martial Artists—right now, that very arrow was embedded in Feng Xun's chest, pulsating weakly with his increasingly faint breathing.
The blood was warm, spilling all over the ground.
It wasn't enough, this Cauldron Breath wasn't enough to save Feng Xun.
Without a second thought, Ye Lingyue bent down and pressed her lips firmly to Feng Xun's, frantically circulating her body's Cauldron Breath. At this moment, there was only one thought in her mind, and that was to save Feng Xun at any cost.
Even if it meant exhausting the last bit of her Cauldron Breath.
