Chapter 617 - Final Struggle

Long Chen wasn’t afraid of the Fengyun Group because they were trapped in the Nine Spirit Purgatory for so long. Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com

He had obtained even more information about Long Yue from the cultivator. The man had told them that he last saw Long Yue yesterday and didn’t know where she was today, but he was certain that she was nearby. If Long Yue wasn’t captured yet, then Long Chen and the youth would have spotted them immediately since having numerous people chasing after a single cultivator would’ve roused a huge commotion.

Long Chen and the youth separated but maintained a distance of a hundred meters so that they were always in each other’s sight. They then started combing the area. Both of them started panicking after learning that Long Yue was in danger, but they weren’t afraid of the Fengyun Group. Both of them were born for battle and didn’t even fear the Martial Alliance, much less a group of bandits.

Gray clouds covered the sky as a cold wind blew past the wasteland. The gray earth stretched all the way to the horizon as if there was no end to it.

Long Yue was tired. She had spent most of the time running away from her pursuers after she was thrown into this place half a month ago. She had already used up most of her essence, so she was relying solely on her willpower to run now.

She had fallen numerous times, so her clothes were dirty. Her clothes were also covered in blood from both herself and others.

Long Yue felt dizzy and accidentally fell down again. Her body told her that she needed to rest, but the presence of pursuers spurred her to wake up again.

“No, I cannot stop, or I will really die.” Behind her were the people from Fengyun Group. At first, they wanted to capture her to satisfy themselves, but after Long Yue killed some of their partners, their greed and hatred had amplified many times. Long Yue knew she would be done for if she was captured.

Long Yue had never thought she would die in this place and in the hands of people like them.

She gritted her teeth and stood up. Her red face was now pale from exhaustion. The wounds inflicted by the Martial Overlord and her constant usage of her essence had left her on the brink of collapsing.

She didn’t know how much longer she would be able to handle this, but she still gritted her teeth and continued forward. Even so, the obscene laughter and angry shouts were getting closer and closer.

Long Yue felt fear for the first time when she heard those bestial shouts. She had always been fearless and didn’t cower when she confronted the Martial Overlord, but the people from Fengyun Group were like demonic beasts after suffering in the Nine Spirit Purgatory for so long.

But Long Yue was not afraid. She chuckled and shook her head. “No matter what you do, you will always be a loser to me. A lowlife piece of trash.”

Long Yue wasn’t afraid of them, as she could just kill herself before they touched her, but she was disappointed that she was unable to find her brother.

Feng Zhiyun was angry after getting insulted by Long Yue so many times. He shouted angrily, “Go! We’ve wasted two Royal Crystals just for her! We cannot waste any more!”

“Yes, Boss!” The four men revealed lecherous looks and pounced towards her. After so many years, even their attacks had become pitiful.

Long Yue didn’t have enough essence to do much, not even to use the Dragon Soul Transformation. But even without it, she had her base strength as a Third Earthly Martial Stage cultivator.

“Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw.” Using her physical strength and the last of her essence, Long Yue decided to go all out. Killing one more before she died was more than enough.

Long Yue’s final struggle was even more fearsome than they had thought. The Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw was a strong attack that intensified even more when she attacked recklessly. The four men who hadn’t had a real battle for a long time were pushed back.

“Die! Five Piercing Dragons!” Long Yue wanted to kill Feng Zhiyun, but to her surprise, he asked his followers to block the attack.

Even so, with enough Royal Crystals, Feng Zhiyun’s followers could defend themselves from an injured Long Yue with no essence. Feng Zhiyun could even ensure his safety.

Long Yue mustered all of her remaining strength and used the Five Piercing Dragons. Four of the dragons attacked the four men while the final one charged towards Feng Zhiyun, but the latter had miscalculated. Long Yue’s final desperate attack was not something a regular First Earthly Martial Stage cultivator could block. Feng Zhiyun was shocked when he saw his four followers’ necks cut open with heavy slash wounds, causing blood to be sprayed from their arteries.

“No!” Feng Zhiyun used all of his strength to block Long Yue’s final attack. He had underestimated her strength, which resulted in the deaths of his followers.

After using the last of her strength and killing four of the men, she fell to the ground without any strength left. She couldn’t fight back against Feng Zhiyun anymore; her strength left her body and her consciousness faded.

The only thing she heard was Feng Zhiyun’s angry shouts. His four followers had helped him a lot, and after spending the last ten years together, he had formed a brotherly bond with them, but now they were dead.

Feng Zhiyun suddenly stopped shouting and laughed. “Fine. They are all dead. That means I get to enjoy Long Yue on my own. She’s all mine now. I have even more Royal Crystals to use now that they're dead. Not bad. Not bad.”
