Volume 3, Chapter 76 – Little Ailiya Coming to Help

Regarding the mission he had received, Zhulan was actually quite dissatisfied internally.

As the right-hand man of Celestial Blight Lord Ulutiel, the true second-in-command of the Vassals of Sky, Zhulan hoped to be by his king’s side at all times.

If the king went to the Kingdom of Qingyun, then he should go to the Kingdom of Qingyun too.

Perfect,

having already harbored dissatisfaction toward the Mu family of the Kingdom of Qingyun, he could take this opportunity to properly “take care of” the surviving royal family members.

Those worthless trash who disappointed the king’s goodwill must be given cruel punishment.

Not to mention their ancestors had also betrayed the king.

However,

in the end, the king didn’t take him to the Kingdom of Qingyun, but instead had him assist those collaborators and stall Luo Fei.

Was the king afraid that if he went to the Kingdom of Qingyun, he would be too heavy-handed…

For a moment, a strong sense of loss welled up in Zhulan’s heart, as if he were an abandoned little dog.

Of course, as the king’s most trusted subordinate, Zhulan wouldn’t show these emotions, but would do his utmost to complete all the tasks the Celestial Blight gave him, even if he didn’t like this particular task.

Stall this man?

That was naturally no problem.

But,

he could do better.

No need to stall… just kill him directly, wouldn’t that be fine? That way there’d be no need to worry about the other party being able to rush back to the Lingyuan family.

Thinking this, Zhulan’s eyes under the mask narrowed slightly.

“Abyss Hex – Heavenly Lock Purgatory”

Under the guidance of curse power, countless chains constructed from black and white energy, like whips with their own life, lashed madly toward Luo Fei. Also howling toward Luo Fei was that terrifying curse power aura far stronger than the Infernal Dragon King’s.

Undoubtedly,

among all the Vassal Tier monsters Luo Fei had ever fought, Zhulan’s power was the strongest.

For a time,

this number one Celestial Augur Knight of the Covenant’s spiritual power aura was directly suppressed by Zhulan. The chains dancing wildly through the sky beat Luo Fei until he had almost no ability to fight back. The curse power chains seemed to contain a special ‘armor-piercing’ function, so that Luo Fei’s protective spiritual power and energy shields were easily shattered.

All Luo Fei could do was continuously dodge.

While dodging, he tried to launch attacks against Zhulan when opportunities arose.

Unfortunately,

each of Luo Fei’s attacks would be blocked by shields constructed from gathered chains before they could hit Zhulan. These chains seemed to possess their own consciousness, forming an impregnable wall protecting Zhulan before Luo Fei.

Not only Luo Fei’s attacks, but the missiles and lasers fired by the garrison forces to cover Luo Fei were also without exception smashed apart by the curse power chains.

Zhulan always stood calmly in the center of the chain formation,

hands clasped behind his back, looking completely at ease.

However,

despite his calm exterior, his attention remained focused on Luo Fei.

He was waiting,

waiting for Luo Fei to make a mistake while being too busy dealing with the attacks.

And once Luo Fei made a mistake, that would be the moment that decided victory or defeat…

As time passed,

Zhulan waited for that moment.

At this moment,

while dodging a wave of sweeping chains, Luo Fei’s right foot was accidentally scraped by another chain. With the curse power’s mad erosion, a trace of pain clearly appeared on Luo Fei’s face, and he even staggered a step.

!!

Finally,

he showed an opening?

After taking in this scene, a deep, bottomless cold light flashed through Zhulan’s eyes, and violent killing intent erupted around his body at this moment.

“Abyss Hex – Finger of Annihilation”

Extending his right hand’s index and ring fingers,

a sinister black qi quietly adhered to them.

Rеad oո ΚаtReaԁiոɡCаfе

Directly making Zhulan’s fingers become pitch black.

The next moment,

this vassal who had stood in place for so long suddenly, surrounded by white light, passed through countless chains and directly rushed to Luo Fei’s front.

“Thank you for your cooperation. I had great fun, Mr. Luo Fei.”

Before his words finished,

Zhulan’s fingers shrouded in black qi directly extended out, violently stabbing into Luo Fei’s forehead.

Immediately after,

terrifying curse power, using his fingers as a medium, violently poured into Luo Fei’s body.

Finger of Annihilation,

was one of Zhulan’s proudest killing moves. Although the technique was quite simple, its lethality was astonishing. Being touched by his fingers containing death qi, even a peak Divine Departure Realm expert would quickly fall apart and turn to nothing.

Of course, some top experts could use spiritual power to briefly resist the collapse, but that would only delay things for a moment.

If these experts were touched by the Finger of Annihilation on their arms or legs?

There was still salvation—

just sever the limbs to survive.

But,

if touched on the head?

For humans, it was almost certain death… after all, even Divine Departure Realm experts couldn’t easily regenerate their brains.

Therefore, the moment his finger touched Luo Fei’s forehead, Zhulan revealed a ferocious, amused smile.

However,

this smile’s shelf life didn’t seem very long.

The next moment, Zhulan’s expression froze in place.

“Hmm? Something’s wrong?”

Why didn’t he collapse?

Moreover,

Reаԁ оո КαtRеаⅾiոɡСαfe

no feeling of actual contact?

What was going on?

Before Zhulan could react, the figure of Luo Fei in front of him twisted and quietly dispersed after a moment of distortion. Obviously, this was an illusion…

At the same time, the real Luo Fei instantly flashed to Zhulan’s side.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and the expressionless Luo Fei directly slashed his sword toward Zhulan’s neck!

The sharp blade shrouded in crimson spiritual power light was incredibly powerful, carrying an unstoppable momentum as it directly tore through the surrounding space. This strike was precisely the ‘Crimson Moon Flash’ that had previously severely wounded the Infernal Dragon King in battle.

Although Zhulan’s strength was far superior to the Infernal Dragon King’s, if hit at close range like this, he probably still couldn’t avoid being severely wounded.

!!!!

Damn!

At this moment, facing this unexpected strike, Zhulan’s face under the mask rarely showed a trace of panic.

However,

Zhulan was after all the number two figure of the Vassals of Sky, with rich combat experience and terrifying battle instincts.

His eyes contracted, and Zhulan suddenly raised his hand.

“Swoosh!!!”

A crimson light flashed,

and Zhulan instantly moved several hundred meters away, opening distance from Luo Fei.

Although his head remained intact, Zhulan’s neck had been cut with a deep gash, and pitch-black blood began continuously flowing from it.

Regarding this,

Zhulan didn’t care, but thoughtfully looked at his right hand… to be precise, his right hand that now only had half remaining.

If he hadn’t promptly withdrawn the power of Finger of Annihilation and had it adhere to his right hand for defense…

Forget about keeping this half of his hand,

his head would have had to relocate…

Although having his head cut off wouldn’t kill him, during the period of head regeneration… that would be enough time for that Luo Fei fellow to dismember him completely.

Reаⅾ oո KаtRеαԁiոɡСafе

He had thought victory was within easy reach, but nearly suffered a reversal?

Thinking this, dense displeasure overflowed from Zhulan’s eyes.

“Damn bastard…”

Staring at Luo Fei in the distance, the killing intent around Zhulan gradually began condensing into substantial mad qi.

While his killing intent boiled,

Zhulan also couldn’t help but frown.

However,

what was that just now?

“Illusion technique?”

According to intelligence, Luo Fei shouldn’t know illusion techniques?

Actually,

it wasn’t just Zhulan who was puzzled—even Luo Fei himself couldn’t help but show a confused expression.

Clearly, he had also noticed the abnormality in Zhulan’s actions just now.

That appearance,

was exactly like being deceived by an illusion?

Wait?!

Illusion!

In an instant, Luo Fei’s eyes contracted, and he turned to look behind him with complex emotions.

“Ailiya!! What are you doing here?!”

At this moment,

on a treetop in the distance, a heroic and beautiful silver-haired girl like a celestial fairy stood against the wind, watching Luo Fei with a helpless gaze.

Taking a deep breath, the silver-haired girl opened her mouth to reply rather unwillingly.

“Of course I came to help you… Father…”
