Chapter 248 - 248: Now Tell Me How You Want To Die?
A massive flying treasure ship, more magnificent than that of the Tianyu Empire, floated in the sky. As fierce snowflakes began to fall, they touched the ship’s protective barrier and melted like fleeting dreams.
With the flag of a falling moon, the Luoyue Empire’s ship cast a long shadow over Iris and Sylvia.
Even though Iris’s expression was calm, inwardly her mind was racing.
She was certain that she would not be able to compete with him in battle without her Dragon Form, even though she was unable to sense his cultivation.
In addition, she had sensed that his Domain had already covered this whole area.
Behind her, Sylvia trembled violently, her hands gripping the hem of Iris’s robe, “S-sister Iris, wh-what should we do?”
Sylvia was so afraid that she even forgot to speak to Iris using her Qi Sense.
“Calm down. I’ve already sent a message to Lucian and mother. They should be here soon,” Iris replied using her Soul Sense.
“So junior sister’s name is Iris,” Young Master Cheng as he approached, his flying sword cutting through the snowfall. His eyes swept over her body with undisguised lust, “Are you also heading to the Dynasty? May I ask which Empire you’re coming from?”
A fat Cultivator wearing a loose blue robe appeared beside Young Master Cheng.
His face was round with three layers of chin that jiggled as he sneered, “Are you deaf or something? Didn’t you hear young master asking you a question? Speak up…”
“Now now, no need to frighten the ladies, Junior Brother Wei,” Young Master Cheng chuckled, waving his hand dismissively, “I prefer my women willing.”
Suddenly Iris grabbed Sylvia and jumped backwards with lightning speed, her movement leaving behind a trail of afterimages.
The snowflakes in their path scattered violently as they retreated nearly fifty meters in an instant.
In the next moment, the place where they had been standing burst forth with towering earth pillars!
‘Earth Element related Domain! So this asshole has comprehended the Earth Law? Fuck… it is the most troublesome type against my Thunder Law…’ Iris’s expression turned exceedingly serious, ‘Where is that bastard? Why is he taking so long? With Sylvia present, I can’t even escape fast enough to leave them behind…’
“Strong and beautiful! Just the type of woman I like!” Young Master Cheng laughed, his eyes flashing with excitement.
The thin young man quickly came forward and gave a fist salute, “Prince, if you allow m-guggh!”
But before he could complete his words,
Young Master Cheng suddenly grabbed his throat, his fingers digging into the thin man’s neck with such force that his face turned purple.
“Don’t use that title again,” Young Master Cheng roared, his body emitting intense murderous intent!
“F-forgive me Young Master… cough! Cough!”
Young Master Cheng snorted and threw him aside like trash.
In the air, the thin cultivator bowed repeatedly, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Young Master Cheng turned his attention back to Iris, completely ignoring the thin cultivator.
“Now then, Iris, I don’t have so much time playing around here. How about we play cat and mouse in my personal room?” Young Master Cheng smiled gently.
But suddenly his expression turned pale as his gaze snapped towards the west!
A black streak tore through the sky, leaving behind a trail of ghostly flames that burned through the falling snowflakes!
“What is that?!” The fat cultivator shouted in alarm.
Young Master Cheng’s eyes widened in shock. Without hesitation, he slammed his palm downward, channeling his Earth Law.
The nearly 400km area around him quickly changed as earth walls and pillars materialized to stop the incoming threat.
Mountains of stone erupted from the ground, forming a complex defensive formation instantly!
“Heaven Shaking Earth Domain!” He roared, veins bulging on his forehead as he poured his Spiritual Energy into the defensive formation.
The earth walls thickened rapidly, forming an impenetrable barrier that reached hundreds of meters in height.
Young Master Cheng’s face contorted with strain as he poured more Energy into his Domain.
However, at the next moment, he coughed out blood as his Domain shattered like glass, with black flames devouring the Earth Element energy.
“Impossible!” he screamed, eyes widening in terror.
Time seemed to stop as the blade of the Halberd grew bigger and bigger in his vision, the ghostly black flames reflecting in his pupils!
“Impudent!”
A tall woman appeared out of thin air before Young Master Cheng and tried to swat away the incoming Halberd with her jade-white hand.
“Huh!?” But to her surprise, as soon as the black flames touched her hand, her Spiritual Energy began to burn!
“Hmph!” She snorted coldly, and in the next instant, her eyes gleamed with a deep brown light!
The Halberd was abruptly swung downwards, creating a deep crater into the earth!
Yet she could not restrain it for more than a heartbeat, as in the next moment, the burning Halberd flew towards Iris and stopped just inches from her.
“M-mother!” Young Master Cheng stammered, his face turning ashen as he stumbled backward, nearly falling off his flying sword.
The woman didn’t glance at her son. Instead, she shouted fiercely towards the direction from which the Halberd had been thrown, “Who are you? Why not reveal yourself?”
“Is that even important anymore, when your son dared to lay his filthy hands on my women?” Lucian’s thunderous voice echoed across the heaven.
Everyone turned to look from where the voice originated, their expressions changing dramatically as they sensed the intense killing intent.
A handsome young man in his underwear with a stunning woman in his arms was walking towards them in the sky, his white hair flowing behind him like a celestial river.
But could it truly be called walking?
For with every step, the young man traversed great distances, the space beneath his feet seemed to be bending with his will!
Iris’s eyes sparkled as she saw Lucian drawing near. Her rosy lips turned into a gentle smile, and the fear that had gripped her heart vanished like the morning mist.
“Now tell me how you want to die?”
