Chapter 1292
Chapter 1292:
Old Yun, who was the least injured of the three, said sullenly, "Dead. That Demon killed them."
"Ah!"
The Consummation quasi-Emperors from the various nations who came as reinforcements showed startled expressions. Senior Wang and Senior Ma were both peak half-step Martial Emperors, yet they both died at the hands of that youth.
Moreover, he even forced out the remaining three elders. How strong was that Demon youth?!
This thought inevitably evoked horror in the group. Then, something occurred to the rest of them, and they looked at Xiao Chen. Indeed, there was no surprise on Xiao Chen's face.
Xiao Chen really hit it on the nail. There was no need to go in at all. The Demons already either killed or chased the seniors out. What was the point of going in?
Due to the many powerful restrictions in the Sky Dome Palace, their Mental Energy and perception were greatly restricted. However, Xiao Chen actually saw the scene that they could not see. Furthermore, he could come to such an accurate judgment.
"Hey, there is another group of people here to send themselves to death. Is that all the strength that the Martial God Palace has in the Sky Dome Realm? This is such a disappointment. I originally thought that this mission would be somewhat challenging."
Feng Ziyi called out arrogantly, interrupting everyone's thoughts about Xiao Chen's correct guess. Now, they only thought about how to survive.
The Sky Dome Palace's Old Yun gritted his teeth when he heard this. If the Sky Dome Dragon Formation had been activated, this fellow would not be so arrogant.
For the past ten thousand years, nothing had happened in the Sky Dome Realm. The Martial God Palace became complacent and thought that with the Sky Dome Dragon Formation, there would not be any problems.
Unfortunately, the Martial God Palace had not expected there to be a girl so skilled in Charm Techniques. With just a gentle smile, she could entrance more than a thousand Martial Sages at the same time.
"This is royalty of the Deep Abyss Demonic World. No wonder. This is really going to be difficult to deal with," Ying Yue said worriedly when she noticed the purple mark on Feng Ziyi's forehead.
This comment surprised Xiao Chen. It turned out that this youth was royalty from the Deep Abyss Demonic World. This information made Xiao Chen recall some things. However, his expression remained calm, without any changes to it.
"Xiao Chen, there is no more opportunity. Come with us later. It looks like their snatching away the Sky Dome Heart is inevitable. Leave this matter to the Martial God Palace to deal with. Right now, preserving our lives is more important."
Ying Yue was indeed a decisive person. When she saw that the person in the air was Demon royalty, she immediately gave up on fighting back.
It was rare for Demon royalty to have a mark materialize on their forehead. This was a mark of pride, a power from their bloodline that could raise their potential infinitely higher.
"I can hand the Sky Dome Heart to you. However, you have to let us live."
Old Yun knew that he could not defeat the Demon before him even if he fought to the death. The loss of the Sky Dome Heart was unavoidable. Feeling helpless, he chose to try and negotiate, to try and seek a path of survival.
Feng Ziyi laughed loudly, "You are just a bunch of ants, and you think you are qualified to negotiate with me? Since when did humans become so naive?"
"Run!"
The various guardian elders that came as reinforcements saw that the situation was hopeless. Hence, they pushed off the ground and tried to tear space to leave this place.
"Is this little lady that scary? This is the first time we met, and everyone is already so frightened. This is really hurtful."
A lovely and pitiful-sounding voice rang out in the air, making everyone feel as if their bones turned soft. All the old men stopped and looked at the owner of this voice for some reason.
Things would have been fine if these old men had not looked. However, once they did, the sight shocked them.
These old men saw Yao Manlan's exquisite figure and face like a perfect being crafted by heaven. Her leather clothes hugged her body tightly, revealing a lot of fair skin around her chest. The swishing tail behind her did not break this harmonious sight. Instead, it gave this sight a strange charm, making her look very attractive.
"Is Manlan pretty?" Yao Manlan smiled abashedly. Her charming eyes radiated gentleness and weakness, inspiring a desire to protect her.
The group of old men below was stunned. The guardian elders who came to reinforce the Sky Dome Palace had glazed eyes as they said uncontrollably, "Pretty, very pretty. Manlan is really pretty."
The three seniors who came out of the Sky Dome Palace had already gained some resistance to this attack. However, they still struggled, their expressions showing pain and confusion.
The will of thunder in Xiao Chen's sea of consciousness stirred restlessly, kicking up horrifying waves.
Xiao Chen sank his consciousness, trying to guard his heart in a rush. The peak will of thunder in his sea of consciousness burst forth with a resplendent light, shattering strands of pink Mental Energy into pieces.
What a strong Charm Technique! Although it has not reached the point of affecting the mind, it has already surpassed the point of affecting the primal desires of the body and can infiltrate the sea of consciousness. If I had not attained a peak will of thunder, this would have been somewhat hard to deal with, Xiao Chen thought to himself, raising his guard. He continuously drove his peak will of thunder without pause.
"Is Manlan really that pretty?" The sweet voice rang out again. Yao Manlan's figure even became illusionary and wavy.
"Really, really!"
The group of old men all cried out in a rush. Clearly, the Charm Technique had already ensnared them thoroughly.
Intense disdain flashed in Feng Ziyi's eyes. "In that case, all of you can die!"
Feng Ziyi made his move swiftly. When he threw a palm strike, several long, sharp wind blades shot out, flying forward at lightning speed.
The various guardian elders who had fallen deeply into the Charm Technique suddenly startled awake at the critical moment. However, the wind blades instantly pierced their foreheads, causing blood to spurt out. Their minds destroyed, they died with a grievance.
There were so many Consummation quasi-Emperors. However, even at the point of death, they did not even get to attempt to run.
"Dang!"
Xiao Chen stretched out a finger and shattered the long wind blade flying at him. Then, he pushed aside the dazzled Ying Yue. Finally, his figure flashed and shielded the Great Qin Nation old man, catching the long wind blade between two fingers.
Yao Manlan's Charm Technique had strengthened at the last moment. Xiao Chen became dazzled for a fraction of a second and only reacted after he recovered from it.
He managed to save just Ying Yue and the Great Qin Nation's hemp-robed old man. As for the old men from the other four nations, he could not help them even though he wanted to.
At the critical moment, the three seniors from the Sky Dome Palace managed to startle awake and avoided a fatal wound. The long wind blades only pierced through their right shoulders. However, they were already wounded before this. With the additional injury, they lost most of their combat prowess.
When facing the strong Feng Ziyi, death was all that awaited them.
"Demon girl, you will definitely die a gruesome death!"
The three old men were enraged. If not for this girl, the Sky Dome Palace would not have fallen so fast.
However, Feng Ziyi and Yao Manlan ignored these three. They looked at only Xiao Chen, who had protected Ying Yue and the hemp-robed old man.
"Manlan, it appears that your Charm Technique is only so-so. You are not even able to entice a youth." Feng Ziyi's strong confidence that everything was under control allowed him to tease Yao Manlan while feeling at ease.
He was not concerned about Xiao Chen at all. He would not be afraid even if a Martial Emperor came, what more an insignificant Consummation quasi-Emperor?
In response to Feng Ziyi's teasing, Yao Manlan indifferently sent a voice projection, It is just that my Charm Technique was diffused and not focused on him.
Yao Manlan's expression did not change. She simply smiled faintly at Xiao Chen. "Young Master really has high standards. To think that with Manlan's beauty, it is still not enough to capture Young Master's attention."
As Yao Manlan smiled, she silently executed her Charm Technique. Her soft voice contained a hidden bitterness, making one feel guilty and want to appease her.
What an incredible Charm Technique! However, how could I possibly fall for the same move?
Xiao Chen formulated a plan in his heart and allowed the pink light to spread in his sea of consciousness without resistance. Then, he walked over in a pretense. "Miss Manlan, you must be joking. This humble self is only—"
"Xiao Chen, don't go over!" Ying Yue called out loudly, her eyes filled with worry.
However, Feng Ziyi showed a playful smile on his face as he looked down on Ying Yue from above. The killing intent that he released froze her into immobility.
This was the sight that Feng Ziyi liked to see the most, a fool getting charmed and then foolishly dying at his hands. The feeling of being in complete control of both the situation and the life and death of others filled his entire body with glee.
Success!
Joy surged up in Yao Manlan's heart. The expression on her face became even more lovely. She fluttered her pair of eyelashes that could snatch another person's soul away, bringing some tears welling up. As she looked at the approaching Xiao Chen, she said, "Is Manlan pretty or not?"
Xiao Chen was already very close, so close that he could clearly smell the fragrance coming from Yao Manlan's body. It smelled intoxicating, making one feel like one was in heaven.
A cold smile appeared on Feng Ziyi's face. It is time to make my move.
"Xiao Chen!" As Ying Yue yelled in pain, despair flashed in her eyes.
The three old men from the Sky Dome Palace revealed some guilt in their eyes. If not for their call for reinforcements, these people would not have to die.
Especially Xiao Chen. At such a young age, he was already a Consummation quasi-Emperor. His future was limitless, but he would die here. There was nothing more unfortunate.
"Hateful demon girl, you caused the deaths of more than one thousand of my Sky Dome Palace's Martial Sages, and now you are going to kill another outstanding talent!" Old Yun, who was in charge of the Sky Dome Heart, shouted lividly.
A trace of complacency flashed in Yao Manlan's eyes. She said with a smile, "Unfortunately, no matter how pretty Manlan is, I will never be yours."
"There is nothing pitiful about this. Even if you stripped naked and stood in front of me, I would not touch you!"
The glazed look on Xiao Chen's face suddenly vanished, and his lips curled up into a cold smile.
Horror flared in Yao Manlan's eyes. However, before she could react, Xiao Chen's right hand grabbed her by the neck and lifted her entire body.
Yao Manlan felt asphyxiated. Instantly, she forgot all about her Charm Techniques. Only a horror of death lingered in her mind; she could not shake free of it.
"You seem to enjoy other people's praises. You also seem to enjoy watching others die while in extreme pleasure without them knowing. I heard that when one is asphyxiated to a certain degree, it can result in extreme pleasure, allowing one to die in happiness," Xiao Chen said expressionlessly. This was a woman who caused damage and suffering to others, doing so with insidious intents.
No matter how frail or delicate such a person appeared to be, Xiao Chen would not have any sympathy for them.
Yao Manlan was horrified at Xiao Chen's words, her entire body trembling in fear.
"Don't. Please don't…kill me!" Yao Manlan said with much difficulty, her eyes filled with despair.
This stunned Ying Yue and the others. Unexpectedly, within one breath of time, Xiao Chen very quickly suppressed such a dangerous woman.
"How could this youth be able to defend himself against such a level of Charm Technique? This is something that caused even us to feel fear, an entrancement that goes beyond physical temptation and enters the sea of consciousness." Old Yun and the others showed shock on their faces, clearly in disbelief.
