Chapter 148: Traitor!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The wilderness of the African continent was boundless and desolate, with no signs of human habitation.
At night, the moonlight shone down.
“They’re coming.” Wang Ye ended his cultivation and walked out.
Song Shirui, who was cultivating, stopped and looked at him with her golden hammer in hand. “Who?”
“The people who want to kill me.” Wang Ye’s voice was very calm.
It was as if he was talking about something unimportant.
Song Shirui was instantly like an enraged tigress, her almond-shaped eyes widening. “Whoever wants to kill you will have to go through me first!”
“Yes.” Wang Ye’s heart warmed as he looked at Ruirui. “Thank you.”
“Why say thank you between us?” Song Shirui glared at Wang Ye and looked around. “Who wants to kill you? Is it that bitch Fire Phoenix?!”
Wang Ye couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re quick to put two and two together this time.”
Song Shirui snorted and raised her golden hammer. “I’ve long disliked that woman!”
Alright then. It was just pure intuition.
Wang Ye suddenly sensed something and raised his head.
Four specks of light appeared in the night sky and flew over from afar.
In an instant, they appeared in the void and separated into four corners, surrounding the two of them.
“You guys!” Song Shirui’s pupils constricted, and she instantly flew into a rage.
“Why did you come all the way here?” Wang Ye looked at Fire Phoenix, who was the leader of the group.
Today, she was dressed completely differently from when they met before. She was wearing a special reddish-brown combat suit, and she had a weapon in her hand that looked like a fire stick. It contained a huge amount of fire elemental energy.
There was also Gilbert, Arthur, and Hidden Black.
Four fully armed Evolvers with ill intentions.
“Wang Ye, you’re a smart person. Don’t play dumb.” Fire Phoenix had a sinister smile on her face, and her eyes were filled with viciousness. “We’re all perfection Evolvers. I didn’t want to be so ruthless, but you forced me!”
“Hmph, what’s so great about you? We knew you were coming!” Song Shirui raised her head and said.
Wang Ye was surprised.
Ruirui had become smarter. Could it be that she had become enlightened after he had massaged her?
Fire Phoenix’s expression changed immediately, and she looked at Arthur and the other two in shock.
Gilbert and Hidden Black turned to Arthur at almost the same time, and the latter instantly became the target of everyone’s attention.
“Yes, it was me.” Arthur landed with his back facing Wang Ye and his epee before him.
Song Shirui’s eyes widened.
What the hell? How was Arthur one of them?
“Traitor!” Gilbert gritted his teeth.
“It’s the right choice.” Arthur’s voice was neither servile nor overbearing, and his eyes were serious. “I never thought of being tied to you. 1 was just forced to do so. The Blue Planet Alliance is already rotten. The Nine Provinces Alliance is the future of mankind. That’s why I chose to join Wang Ye.”
“Bastard!” Fire Phoenix was furious. The fire rod in her hand instantly burned, and the raging flames crackled. Her entire body seemed to have transformed into flames, like a sacred Fire Phoenix.
“Kill them!” Gilbert’s voice was resolute.
As a mercenary, he had faced countless battles and dangers.
A huge fireball exploded in the air, Gilbert and Hidden Black turned into two meteors and disappeared.
Boom!
The fire lit up the night sky. A great battle was about to break out!
Arthur attacked Gilbert, while Hidden Black went straight for Song Shirui.
Wang Ye quickly charged at Fire Phoenix and unleashed his combat energy. He swung his saber in mid-air and instantly executed stage 1 of the Nine Qi Saber Control Technique.
Torrential Qi!
Saber lights flashed and attacked in an instant.
Fire Phoenix released flames and attacked from a distance.
Chi! Chi!
His ability shield was unable to block it, and the saber energy was weakened.
The world’s strongest ability user!
Fire Phoenix naturally lived up to her reputation.
Although everyone knew that ability users were afraid of close combat, a powerful ability user would not give their opponent the chance to get close at all.
Flame Cage!
Fire Phoenix unleashed her full strength.
Scorching flames instantly condensed, and the Compression Spell was at least at stage 2.
A cage made of flames formed around Wang Ye and rapidly shrank. The flames scattered and engulfed him.
Chi! Chi!
The ability shield was burned and shattered.
Wang Ye’s Golden Horn Sabers emitted a golden glow. His combat energy instantly burst out and pierced through the cage of flames, shooting toward Fire Phoenix.
What?
Fire Phoenix’s expression changed drastically.
Wang Ye’s explosive power was beyond her expectations.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Streaks of fiery light shot out as Fire Phoenix retreated continuously.
However, the distance between her and Wang Ye kept shrinking, and the omnipresent saber energy made it even harder for her to attack.
“Help me block him!” The terrified Fire Phoenix shouted. She knew Wang Ye’s close combat strength.
Gilbert and Hidden Black were extremely fast. They instantly left Arthur and Song Shirui behind and attacked Wang Ye.
“Let me help you!” Arthur swung his epee and rushed over to support.
He took a direct hit from Gilbert and retreated with a grunt.
Another huge fireball appeared and flew towards the two of them.
Arthur, who seemed to be injured, suddenly widened his eyes the second Wang Ye blocked the fireball.
Then, he turned around abruptly and quickly swung his epee toward Wang Ye!
A powerful mountain-like aura suddenly erupted.
Stage 2 Heavy Mountain Sword Technique!
Trembling Mountain!
The overwhelming power of the epee and the boundless sword energy attacked Wang Ye at the most critical moment!
Arthur’s eyes were filled with hatred and anger. This attack contained his deepest hatred for Wang Ye!
If it wasn’t for Wang Ye, his authority in the Unicorn Alliance wouldn’t have been greatly reduced due to the lack of trust in him!
If it weren’t for Wang Ye, the Blue Planet Alliance wouldn’t have ended up like this!
If not for Wang Ye, he would have broken through to level 4 by now!
It was all Wang Ye’s fault!
A cold smile appeared on Fire Phoenix’s cold face.
Betrayal?
It was just a scheme within a scheme.
It allowed Wang Ye to misjudge the difference in strength between the two sides, which was extra insurance to prevent him from escaping even when the four of them were attacking together.
Arthur’s ambush this time could allow the battle today to be an easy victory even if he only severely injured Wang Ye!
Boom!
Wang Ye seemed to have predicted the future as his combat energy erupted.
Facing Arthur’s sneak attack, he didn’t panic at all. He blocked the fireball with his ability shield and slashed with his sword.
His reaction was extremely fast.
Stage 3 combat energy versus stage 2 combat energy.
Bang! Bang!
Terrifying flames exploded, and the two were separated in a head-on confrontation.
“Impossible!” Arthur felt as if his chest had been struck by lightning. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his internal organs churned violently.
He didn’t expect Wang Ye to know about it and be on guard against him.
Gilbert and Fire Phoenix were also surprised. They were even more wary of Wang Ye, and their eyes were filled with killing intent.
He was too terrifying! He knew that Arthur was a fake traitor!
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so guarded just now!
Arthur did not gain any advantage at all. Rather, he was even injured by the sudden counterattack.
It was alright, they still had the advantage.
Still, today would be a very tragic battle, and it would be very dangerous.
They had to kill Wang Ye here, otherwise, they would be in big trouble!
The two instantly attacked Wang Ye.
Arthur, who had been pushed back by the terrifying saber energy, suddenly felt a hidden force behind him, helping him to stop his retreat.
Without looking, he knew that it was Hidden Black. Just as he was about to thank the latter, he felt a sharp pain. Arthur’s eyes widened as he covered his bloody neck and screamed in pain.
Puchi!
The next moment, his heart was pierced.
The masked Hidden Black was like an assassin in the night, his cold eyes emotionless.
Arthur clutched his neck and fell in horror. Even till the moment he died, he didn’t understand what had happened.
Song Shirui was even more stunned.
The golden hammer that was prepared to attack Hidden Black was unable to swing down.
Who was the ally? Who was the enemy?
“Traitor!” Fire Phoenix was hysterical like a demonic mistress.
“Hidden Black!” Gilbert frowned. He didn’t expect that Hidden Black would betray them at such a critical moment.
Wang Ye’s smile made Fire Phoenix tremble inexplicably.
This young man was too terrifying!
When did he see through their scheme? When did he win over Hidden Black?
Her hair stood on end.
She had always thought that victory was inevitable. No matter how they fought, Wang Ye would never win.
Who would have thought that the other party would be so scheming? He was a hidden old fox!
She had been fooled by his innocent face!
“I’m going to kill you!” Fire Phoenix was hysterical, and her flames were fully unleashed.
She knew that there was no turning back today. Once the matter was made public, it was very likely that her reputation would be ruined.
Most importantly, she and Wang Ye’s feud had reached an unresolvable stage.
If Wang Ye didn’t die, she would!
“Boom!” The Compression Spell was used crazily. The rolling flames didn’t attack Wang Ye, but Hidden Black and Song Shirui.
Since she couldn’t kill Wang Ye one-on-one, she would first kill Hidden Black and Song Shirui!
She would then join forces with Gilbert to kill Wang Ye!
Gilbert reacted quickly as well. He swung his two sabers at Hidden Black, and at the same time, he borrowed the momentum to attack Song Shirui.
Just now, he had the nagging feeling that something was wrong as it didn’t make sense that Hidden Black couldn’t kill this useless woman.
So that was why.
He would do it then.
Whoosh!
His body instantly became heavier.
Gilbert reacted.
Wang Ye’s advanced Gravity Spell!
He couldn’t care less!
Chi! Chi!
The dual-saber combat energy attacked Song Shirui.
He would kill this brainless woman first!
Combat energy rumbled, and Song Shirui’s golden hammer could not withstand it at all.
The difference in strength was huge.
Not only did the other party have stage 2 combat energy, but he was also a perfection level 3 Evolver.
Pu!” Song Shirui vomited blood and was seriously injured.
In an instant, an ability shield appeared and blocked the attack for her.
Saber energy fell on Gilbert, and Wang Ye appeared in front of her.
His firm body gave off an extremely familiar feeling, filling her with a sense of security.
However, it made Song Shirui’s heart tremble inexplicably.
Bang!
Her heart shook.
The proud figure of Captain Han Chaoyue appeared in her mind. The former was covered in blood.
During the battle when she was ambushed by the demonic humans, the captain had stood in front of her without hesitation, protecting her like a mountain…
The scenes replayed and shattered, just like her heart.
It hurt!
Endless sorrow and guilt enveloped her heart.
Song Shirui’s body trembled violently, and she burst into tears.
No!
No!
She didn’t want this to happen again!
“I don’t want to be protected anymore!” Song Shirui waved her Heavy Wave Golden Hammer as she wailed.
In an instant, an endless stream of power surged out of her body as if a shackle had suddenly been unlocked, filling her with endless power.
The golden hammer was swung out with a mighty momentum. Combat energy surged and burst forth with endless brilliance!
At this moment, Song Shirui seemed to have transformed into a female God of War, and her body emitted a dense combat energy.
She had broken through!
