Chapter 1157: Chapter 1157: Decisive Betrayal

What’s this kid up to!

The Dragon Queen had never faced the Divine River Song directly, only having seen Lin Yi use it a few times, yet she could distinctly sense that unique chill piercing her soul.

It was the exclusive Nine Nether Cold Qi of the Divine River Song.

How can this be?

The Dragon Queen didn’t turn around, but she clearly knew who exactly pierced through her body from behind. She didn’t turn around, not because the Nine Nether Cold Qi surged through her, impairing her ability to move, nor was it because of the gaping hole leaving her weakened.

She simply didn’t want to believe it, nor did she want to face it.

That gentle and unassuming young man, with his unwavering sense of justice, even when faced with opponents much stronger than himself, never displayed any cowardice, choosing instead to fight to the death with his own life.

His deep sense of affection and loyalty deeply moved the Dragon Queen, willing to sacrifice his own life without regard for the consequences to fight foes just to give his comrades a chance to escape.

This young man was the person the Dragon Queen trusted the most before, to the extent that she trusted him more than her colleagues whom she had interacted with for thousands of years.

Pfft~

The gray-black blade was drawn from the Dragon Queen’s back, leaving an even larger wound, as gushing fresh blood was pulled out along with the blade by Lin Yi.

This extracted all of the Dragon Queen’s strength, and her already frail form could no longer stand firm, stumbling several steps on the ground.

"Kid, how dare you!"

Tremble couldn’t help but shout when he saw this scene.

He was still considering how to solve the Lin Yi problem, never expecting Lin Yi to take initiative and attack the Dragon Queen.

According to what Lin Yi said earlier, asking the Immortal King’s Divine Power Avatar for a chance, he was trying to prove himself to the Immortal King by killing the Dark Rising high-level personnel.

Usually, the Dragon Queen and Tremble had many disagreements, being the steady development faction, the Dragon Queen often clashed with Tremble’s aggressive approach, with innumerable divisions on the organization’s future direction.

Despite this, Tremble understood the role the Dragon Queen had within the Dark Rising Organization and what kind of influence she wielded. He didn’t agree with her and knew he couldn’t avoid more disputes with the Dragon Queen in the future.

But he never thought the old lady would encounter such trouble.

Seeing Lin Yi attack the Dragon Queen, seeing him choosing to betray the Dark Rising Organization, Tremble couldn’t suppress the anger in his heart for a moment, and he decided not to continue attacking the Immortal King’s Divine Power Avatar, turning his head and charging towards Lin Yi.

"Hey, you guy, you really don’t take me seriously."

Tremble only saw a golden stream of light filling his vision once again, and then the strength of his body was entirely extracted; his limbs felt completely disconnected from his body, and Tremble couldn’t sense their existence at all.

Buzz~

A sharp sound of air tearing came from behind. Tremble knew someone was attacking from behind, but unfortunately, he couldn’t muster any strength, even turning his head was extremely difficult.

Sure enough, the next moment, he was lying face down, his whole body flat against the ground.

He clearly felt someone stomped him down hard like stepping on a dead dog, making him unable to move an inch.

"Tremble, you really think too highly of yourself, don’t you? What’s with being the strongest in Dark Rising? You really think you have abilities? Among the All Celestial Divine Beings, there are countless stronger than you, they are too lazy to bother with you. Do you really think you’re something special? You’re just like a dog, calmly lying on the ground, along with me and watch the show."

Seeing the Dragon Queen being ambushed, Blood Dance and Hekong hurriedly rushed over and thrust their weapons hard at Lin Yi.

Blood Dance and Hekong, though not among the very top, were still top-tier elites possessing Level A Divine Power. A head-on clash between the Divine River Song and these two was unrealistic.

[Light and Shadow Interweaving] skill was instantly activated, and Lin Yi had already arrived in front of the Immortal King.

The two saw Lin Yi escaping afar, thus no intention of continuing the pursuit, quickly checking on the Dragon Queen’s injuries.

Unexpectedly, with the withdrawal of the Seven Heroes Level combat power, the hard-earned advantage in the encirclement of the World Boss gradually vanished.

"Dragon Queen, are you alright?"

Blood Dance supported the Dragon Queen’s shaky form, at the same time channeling her own healing Supreme Law and Power of the Primordial into the Dragon Queen, trying to fix the hole through her body.

Unfortunately, the Yin Cold Power of the Nine Nether River wasn’t so easily dispelled, it had already circulated through the Dragon Queen’s meridians, spreading all over her body, like intertwining roots, deeply embedded within.

To repair the body, this force must be extracted, but achieving that is easier said than done.

"That kid dared to ambush you, dared to choose to stand with All Gods, doesn’t he think, after doing so much, the Immortal King’s vindictive nature would let him off?"

What most infuriated Hekong wasn’t Lin Yi’s betrayal, but that Lin Yi was unworthy of the Dragon Queen’s regard.

"I didn’t expect you to strike so ruthlessly, seeing this stance, you didn’t intend to leave that old lady any escape route; this show of loyalty is commendable but I think just this isn’t enough for me to trust you, what do you think?"

When the Immortal King’s Divine Power Avatar said this, he turned his gaze towards the battlefield where they were besieging the Corpse Kings.

Lin Yi’s skills against upper-rank gods with high-level divine power were indeed insufficient, not enough, but when dealing with Dark Rising members with conventional combat power, the effect was indeed good.

Just from the Immortal King’s gaze, Lin Yi already understood his purpose: to reverse the battlefield’s situation.

Originally thought Lin Yi might hesitate for a moment, but what the Immortal King didn’t expect was, the person in front of him turned out to be far more decisive than imagined, without any hesitation, he flew towards the battlefield.

Because of Lin Yi’s restoration of consciousness, those fallen avatars simultaneously regained their movement ability; to successfully prove his loyalty to the Immortal King, Lin Yi’s avatars, who regained their movement capability, began casting a Forbidden Curse covering the entire battlefield.
