Chapter 1244 - Revenge, Part Two
A singular thought sprouted in the five people's minds.
We're finished!
Facing the hunting squad led by Ye Yuanming, their group of five was powerless. Ye Yuanming didn't even have to act; his men alone could wipe them out.
Ji Kong and the others didn't even consider begging for mercy.
Their conflict with Ye Yuanming was irreconcilable; death was the sole outcome. Begging for mercy was no use. Pleading would only bring humiliation and wouldn't change a thing.
"Any last words?"
Like a deity, Ye Yuanming looked down expressionlessly at the ants on the ground from above, as if looking at dead people.
And truthfully, no one could see a way out for them, not against Ye Yuanming's group.
"Don't be so smug, Ye Yuanming. Chen Fan and the others will avenge us!"
"Avenge you? Hoho, aren't you too naïve? Word of us sweeping through the people of the Tianwu Continent has been out for a while. If they intended to act, they would've shown up already. But where are they? Not even a shadow! Come to help you? Hahaha, how funny. I bet they're hiding somewhere, scared out of their minds. Avenge you? Delusional. Kill!"
Ye Yuanming waved his arm, issuing the command. Immediately, the others pounced towards the group of five like vicious wolves.
As for Ye Yuanming, he had no intention of taking action himself, as that would've only lowered his status.
His words pushed Ji Kong and the others further into despair, as he wasn't entirely wrong.
If Chen Fan's group intended to help the other participants from their continent, they would've done it by now.
But there was still no news of them. Was Ye Yuanming right? Were they hiding somewhere, trembling in fear?
Unfortunately, there was no time to dwell on it, as a pack of hungry wolves was already charging at them.
"Kill!"
Ji Kong and the others steeled themselves. If they were going to die, they'd take a few down with them.
Boom, boom, boom!
A huge battle erupted in an instant. Terrifying storms set off tall waves, cutting off rivers.
Legends were mighty. Every strike unleashed the power of law, shaking the very heavens.
However, even though Lu Xiu, Ji Kong, and the others counterattacked without regard for anything, they were outmatched in strength and numbers. The group of five was quickly laden with injuries, fresh blood spurting from them.
"Ah!" A miserable scream rang out. Under the siege of two middle-stage Legendary realm experts, Baili Xi, a middle-stage Legend, lost an arm. Blood gushed wildly as he cried out in agony.
However, his screams quickly came to an abrupt stop.
His opponents didn't show mercy just because he was heavily injured; instead, they struck with even greater ferocity. A storm of violent energy engulfed Baili Xi, reducing him to a mist of blood. Only his ancient sword remained, stabbed into the earth, softly humming.
A middle-stage Lesser Legendary realm expert perished just like that.
Lu Xiu, Ji Kong, and the others were saddened, but they felt even more anger.
Still, in the face of overwhelming power, that anger meant nothing. Every time they tried to rally, their enemies crushed it with ease.
"Ah!"
Not long after, an early-stage Lesser Legendary realm was killed. His fresh blood spilled into the air.
"Ah, I'll fight you to the death. Let's die together!" roared another Lesser Legendary realm furiously, like he had gone crazy. He ignored everything and charged toward the enemies ahead, releasing destructive fluctuations.
He was going to self-detonate and bring these people down with him.
"Self-detonate?" The corner of Ye Yuanming's lips curled up into a smile of mockery.
Trying to self-detonate in front of Ye Yuanming was pure fantasy.
He immediately grabbed at the void. A terrifying force erupted and crushed the Lesser Legend.
The destructive aura vanished in an instant. Blood mist. That was all that remained. He didn't even get the chance to explode.
"Wang Ming!" Ji Kong roared angrily, crimson tears streaming down his cheeks.
Dead.
Three Lesser Legends had fallen within moments, barely causing a ripple.
Even Wang Ming, who had tried to self-detonate to take others down with him, was unqualified to do so in front of Ye Yuanming.
Puchi!
Ji Kong took a heavy hit, and half his body was nearly blown apart. Blood gushed endlessly.
Lu Xiu was in a similar situation. Facing the siege of the crowd, they were having difficulty overcoming the difference in numbers. They tried charging left and right but couldn't escape the encirclement. Even if they did, Ye Yuanming still watched, waiting.
"Ahhh!" A miserable scream rang out. Lu Xiu was nearly disemboweled, and he was sent flying with a slash, spilling fresh blood along the way.
In just minutes, three had died tragic deaths. Ji Kong and Lu Xiu were left severely wounded, barely standing. Their strength was gone.
"Ughhh, go to hell!"
The enemies didn't relent. Smiling savagely, they pounced at Ji Kong and Lu Xiu, ready to deal the final blow.
Suddenly, a black spear broke through the air and nailed the middle-aged Lesser Legend to the ground.
Puchi!
"Ahhh!"
This person was still alive but was nailed to the ground by the Heaven Piercing Spear and was in agony. A terrifying force surged through him, ravaging him from the inside out.
"Who is it?"
This sudden turn of events shocked Ye Yuanming and the others. They quickly turned to look.
A fierce shout that shook the heavens came from afar.
"Ye Yuanming, you will die today!"
"Chen Fan!"
Ye Yuanming couldn't be any more familiar with Chen Fan's aura.
Recalling how Chen Fan pursued him for three days and nights, the killing intent in Ye Yuanming's heart intensified.
Swish, swish, swish.
Huang Wuji, Chen Fan, and the others quickly swept over, their killing intent shaking heaven and earth. Looking at the heavily injured Ji Kong and Lu Xiu, their killing intent grew even more intense.
They hadn't expected Ye Yuanming's group to be so brazen as to hunt Tianwu Continent's people openly. Even the two other prides of heaven of the True Martial Academy had died at their hands.
If they'd arrived even a minute later, Ji Kong and Lu Xiu would have also been killed.
How abominable!
Were they treating the people of the Tianwu Continent as prey?!
In despair, Ji Kong and Lu Xiu had closed their eyes, ready for death. Unexpectedly, Chen Fan's group had arrived at the last moment. They were so overwhelmed with emotions that they cried tears of joy.
"Chen Fan, kill them. Kill them all. They killed so many of our people. Blood for blood. Blood for blood!" Ji Kong roared angrily.
"Rest assured, it won't just be them. None of their allies will escape!"
A thick, chilling intent shone in Chen Fan's eyes. His tone was incomparably icy. His terrifying killing intent condensed into actual substance, freezing heaven and earth.
"Ye Yuanming, we'll take your head today first to blow the horn of our revenge!"
