Novel Full Chapter 274: Turn of Events
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Liu Deming’s original intention was to persuade Priestess Heartless to work with him in killing Ling Yun. He tried to demonize Ling Yun and emphasize the seriousness of the matter but did not expect to offend Miao Xiaomiao.
Little White dashed in front of Liu Deming to confine him to that area on Ling Yun’s instructions.
It was the best opportunity to defeat him, especially since he now had the help of the golden silkworm.
The golden silkworm started its attack towards Liu Deming. Liu Deming grabbed whatever talisman he could find in his fright. Ling Yun, upon seeing it was a Fire Talisman, shouted, “Be careful!”
A huge ball of flame engulfed the golden silkworm!
Liu Deming was just starting to feel smug about himself when he saw Xiao Jin continue towards himself.
The Superior Golden Silkworm was impenetrable by weapons and natural elements!
At the same time, the murderous Miao Xiaomiao came to Liu Deming’s side and flicked all ten of her slender fingers.
Miao Xiaomiao had no reason to be merciful to Liu Deming since he dared burn her personal golden silkworm!
Liu Deming skipped to the other side with all his might without any hesitation. He used an amulet to counter the poison inside him and scurried for the woods.
He Xingyan was busy dealing with Dugu Mo while Priestess Heartless was entangled with that white fox. Liu Deming himself was being hunted down by Ling Yun, Miao Xiaomiao and the superior golden silkworm. Their time had long gone. Liu Deming’s only route to survival was to escape.
“Didn’t you want to slaughter us? Why are you running away, Mr. Priest from a prestigious sect?”
Ling Yun foresaw that Liu Deming wanted to flee. He used the Dragon Fish Phantom Ability and cut off Liu Deming’s escape path from the front!
Liu Deming tried to dive into the grove but was forced back by steel nails from Ling Yun.
Xiao Jin attacked again silently with its silk while Liu Deming was busy fending off the steel nails. This time, Xiao Jin aimed directly for Liu Deming’s back while it was still more than ten meters away.
Liu Deming nearly jumped out of his skin when he heard the sound of the golden silkworm approaching.
“Sh*t!” Liu Deming desperately avoided the golden silkworm with some success. He had, however, failed to veer clear of the steel nails from Ling Yun in his fluster.
Shower of Flowers!
Ling Yun knew Liu Deming would evade the golden silkworm at all cost. He took this chance to aim for his vulnerable spots with two steel sails.
Liu Deming was adept with Talismans, but he was not good at Qinggong like Priestess Heartless and He Xingyan. Nor was he strong like Priest Compassionless. Try as he might, he could not protect himself from so many steel nails. Many of them hit him squarely.
Pu pu pu!
Fresh blood filled the air once again as eight steel nails entered Liu Deming’s body.
Xiao Jin darted to Liu Deming and pecked at his neck before flying away instantly.
If the poison had entered at his shoulder, he could still get rid of the affected area. However, nothing could be done for the neck!
Liu Deming bled profusely. His body stiffened as he howled.
“I am done for!”
He threw away his fly-whisk and took out three talisman charms. He slammed one on his neck and sent two flying towards Ling Yun!
It was Liu Deming’s dying move. Ling Yun did not dare take it on directly and skipped away with his Dragon Fish Phantom Ability.
Boom! Boom!
A deafening sound rang through as the place where Ling Yun had stood blew up, creating a huge pit four meters deep.
“That was a Level Two Fire Charm!” Ling Yun was right to be cautious. His Stellar Condensation Technique would not have helped much. He would be in a more miserable state than Priest Compassionless if he had taken the hit directly.
“Show me whatever else you have got up your sleeve!” Ling Yun said coldly as he shot three steel nails straight into the stiffened Liu Deming’s heart.
“You! You…” Liu Deming pointed at Ling Yun and spat out blood before he expired on the floor.
Ling Yun had massacred two of the four masters from the Sun Family in just five minutes!
At this point, Ling Yun’s spiritual energy had once again depleted to critical levels. He took a deep breath and sprinted to Dugu Mo with the Thousand Miles Godly Steps.
Ling Yun had killed two of them in a row. He Xingyan could not help but feel anxious, so he threw a few deadly coins at Dugu Mo and flew back to Niu Fenjiao.
This could not go on. He Xingyan’s only choice was to play for time and wait for reinforcements.
Ling Yun was completely in attack mode. Injured as he was, He Xingyan would die if Dugu Mo and Ling Yun surrounded and attacked him.
Priestess Heartless mirrored He Xingyan’s action and retreated back to Niu Fenjiao’s side. She glanced around and surveyed the situation. Of the dozen men Niu Fenjiao had brought with her, the only ones that remained standing were the two Houtian Realm Level Eight fighters He Xingyan and herself and two other youngsters of Houtian Realm Level 1.
“Retreating? Not so fast!” Ling Yun chased after them unforgivingly and shot his secret weapons towards the three!
One could not afford to give the enemy any breathing space!
Priestess Heartless swept Ling Yun’s weapons away with her fly-whisk while He Xingyan grabbed Niu Fenjiao out of the way. “Stop!” Priestess Heartless yelled.
“Ling Yun, everything that happened today was a misunderstanding. I guarantee the annulment of the marriage between the Sun and Zhuang Family. Let’s leave it there, shall we?”
Ling Yun doubled down. “Misunderstanding? Annulment of marriage? Why didn’t you mention this ‘misunderstanding’ when we were negotiating?”
“I am not going to let you delay any longer!” Ling Yun attacked again with his secret weapon!
He Xingyan dodged, still holding onto Niu Fenjiao. “Ling Yun, I admit you currently have the upper hand, but I am sure you will not be able to stop us if we really want to leave!” He Xingyan said lightly.
Ling Yun knew this all too well. He was afraid it would come to this.
He Xingyan, however, was not going to escape. It was part of his delay tactic. It had been more than half an hour since he sent out the distress signal. The three Heaven-ranked killers would be arriving at any moment.
All of Ling Yun’s forces would amount to nothing once they were here.
Ling Yun had no choice. “Fine. We will first annul the marriage in black and white!” Ling Yun replied after thinking carefully. His aim was to keep his opponents in one place.
Niu Fenjiao never expected this to happen in her widest dreams. Her call to her husband could do no more than what her protectors could do. Her loss was a reality. Niu Fenjiao endured the biggest humiliation in her life as she announced the annulment of the marriage and the severance of ties with the Zhuang Family.
No one cared enough to tell Zhuang Tiande.
Zhuang Meifeng, Tie Xiaohu and Tang Meng arrived in the nick of time to hear the public announcement of the annulment. Tears of joy streaked down Zhuang Meifeng’s beautiful face.
Ling Yun was the first person to subdue the Sun Family to such an extent.
“Big Brother Yun, are you alright?!” Tang Meng shouted happily towards Ling Yun. He felt a rush of excitement when he saw his father’s show of force.
“Tang Meng, you brat! Calling out to Ling Yun before your own father…” Tang Tianhao shook his head in disapproval.
Ling Yun had expected the trio to come back for him. The timing was perfect. Ling Yun took the handwritten promise of annulment by Niu Fenjiao and handled it over to Zhuang Meifeng.
These words meant the whole world to Zhuang Meifeng.
“I will have no one else for as long as I live.” Zhuang Meifeng gazed lovingly towards Ling Yun. Ling Yun understood immediately.
“Hmph. He braved so much danger and called us out in the middle of the night. All for her!” Xue Meining muttered grudgingly under her breath.
Cao Shanshan stared at the loving pair with a complicated expression. The skin on her lips stretched and nearly cracked.
Xiao Meimei smiled knowingly as she looked towards the two stunning ladies and then towards the silent Miao Xiaomiao.
“Sh*t, this brat…” Dugu Mo was speechless.
He looked towards Cao Shanshan, his thought landed on Long Wu and Zhang Ling whom he met in the disco. He could not help but worry for Ling Yun.
Women were tigresses. They were fierce, protective and troublesome. Ling Yun was playing a dangerous game by having so many at once.
Dugu Mo frowned suddenly and flew to the top of the tree. “Who is that?!” He shouted.
Ling Yun’s expression turned serious as he cautioned everyone, “Be careful!”
He Xingyan was all smiles. He leapt straight towards the three people in the masks with Niu Fenjiao under his arm.
Ling Yun only knew then that true reinforcements had arrived for the enemy!
Another turn of events!
