Chapter 1159: In Desperation
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Luke Yates spoke seriously, “Colton, don’t worry. I’ve already sent a signal. Cole and the others will definitely come to rescue us.”
“I hope they arrive before we’re turned into shreds!”
Tobey Lapras’ face was pale; he was breathing heavily, with large beads of sweat constantly sliding down.
His vitality already overdrawn.
Luke swung his twin blades, fiercely attacking to protect Tobey. He reached into his pocket and took out half of a water radish, throwing it to Tobey, saying, “Rest a bit. Tobey. Wat something to fill your stomach.”
“I can hold on a bit longer. Aren’t you reaching your limit too?” Tobey looked at Luke behind him, whose back was already soaked with cold sweat. The hands holding the blades were faintly trembling, all signs of excessive exertion.
Little did Tobey know, Luke confidently said, “I have golden eggs inside me, I’m fine!”
After saying that, he howled and charged out again.
Luke wanted to break through the encirclement, but no matter which direction he killed in, the rat horde seemed endless.
Swish!
A red-eyed black rat instantly appeared behind Luke. With a swipe of its claw, a sharp wound was carved into his back.
Three wounds, like cuts from a sharp blade.
Golden-like fresh blood gushed out!
Tobey, holding a knife, rushed forward in shock and anger, “Luke!”
“I’m fine. There are too many black rats. If we continue like this, both you and Colton will be dragged to death!”
Luke’s ponytail broke free from the headband, his long black hair falling over his shoulders. A hint of fierce and murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
All the sons of the Northern Army were fierce!
Even Luke was no exception.
Although he was mischievous, he was once the great demon king who dominated the north.
He was also the youngest among the sons of the Northern Army.
Little did they know, the younger the sons of the Northern Army, the more demonic they were.
Luke barely hesitated. He opened his arms, and his whole body was saturated with intense golden light, as if it had substance.
His eyes turned golden, and he said in a low voice, “Colton, I have three emperor seeds inside me. In ten seconds, I’ll detonate one, releasing a powerful force. I don’t know how strong it will be.
“But I know it will definitely be able to kill all these black rats and create a path for you two.
“Once the path appears, don’t worry about me. Run out and find Big Brother first, then come back to rescue me.”
…
Luke’s rare and serious plea.
Although Colton was young, he already understood what it meant. He shouted, “Luke, stop!”
“The seed of the emperor is exchanged for your life. If you detonate the seed, how will you survive? Stop it!”
Tobey’s eyes were red, and he rushed up directly.
Luke, with a calm look in his eyes, was strangely calm and composed in the face of life and death.
As if facing death, he didn’t feel any fear.
He whispered, “In this world, there is no way out. The black rat disaster must have spread from the inside out. We are less than two hundred miles away from the 14th ancient city. Once it spreads, the ancient city will be destroyed.
“With my life, I exchange peace for the ancient city. It’s not a loss.”
Luke, who had just arrived at the 14th ruin, said this calmly.
He had no emotional attachment to the ancient city.
Why was he doing this?
Luke’s body was extremely saturated with golden light. He said softly, “Old Devil Yanagi is entrenched in the 14th ruin, reviving the 14th ancient city. There must be important significance behind it. Luther and I have speculated that this ruin and the ancient city are important production sites for the high-level martial artists of Hansworth.
“Spirit medicines have nearly gone extinct, and spirit stone mines have been depleted. In this era after the end of ancient martial arts, there are a large number of old martial artists hidden within Hansworth. They know that without resources like spirit medicines, pinnacle martial artists will find it difficult to progress for years!
“So where do these people’s cultivation resources come from?
“They must come from the South Pole and the ancient city within the 14th ruin.
“If the ancient city is destroyed, everyone will be forced to leave this ruin. It may be difficult to come back in the future to open up a safe territory.
“The ancient city must not be lost!”
…
Luke slowly sheathed the two blades in his hand.
He took off the scabbards from his waist, gently stroking them, and then placed it on the ground.
This thing could be considered as Luke’s legacy.
Colton insisted, “Luke, we have a way out. I can burn my vitality, enhance my strength tenfold, and cut through the horde.”
“Colton, it’s too late. If we had burn through our vitality from the beginning, perhaps we could have broken through. But now we are in the core of the rat horde; burning vitality won’t help us escape.”
Luke grinned, revealing a smile, and added, “Burning vitality can’t last long. It will only waste a life. I’ll detonate one emperor seed to give you a slim chance to escape.”
“You’re talking nonsense!”
Tobey rushed up to stop Luke’s reckless act.
But this time, Luke wasn’t acting recklessly.
He had been smart since childhood, but with many older brothers taking care of him, he rarely bothered using his brain, and he didn’t care about the consequences of his actions, causing trouble constantly.
Today, if he died here, the grudge between the 14th ruin and the Northern Army would truly be deepened.
Tobey had approached Luke but found that he couldn’t touch Luke at all.
The golden light enveloping Luke’s body had materialized.
A golden shield.
As Luke tilted his head back, his long hair flying, eyes emitting golden light, illuminating the darkness, he opened his mouth and let out a long roar.
A dazzling golden emperor seed was forcefully expelled from his body.
Three emperor seeds in total.
One was the black emperor seed of the First Emperor.
Another was the emperor seed of Emperor Togo.
The last one was the emperor seed of Emperor Soho.
The one Luke intended to self-destruct was the one belonging to Emperor Soho.
He had already exchanged his life with the three emperor seeds.
Detonating one emperor seed was like destroying one’s own life force!
Outside the golden light shield, Colton was desperate, tears streaming down, choking as he said, “Luke, don’t do this. If something happens to you, how can Tobey and I face Big Brother?”
“Damn it, if you dare to detonate this emperor seed, I’ll die with you today.”
Tobey, with eyes turning red, rushed forward.
“That’s right. The Northern Army brothers share life and death. Today, if you dare to sacrifice yourself, I’ll die with you!”
“Then let’s die together!”
Wiping away tears, Colton opened his arms and lay on the golden light shield.
Once Luke detonated the emperor seed, the terrifying force released would surely tear Colton into pieces.
Almost simultaneously.
The horrifying rat horde rapidly spread.
The rat horde resembled a mountain range, like surging ocean waves, directly engulfing Tobey and the others.
The golden light shield was submerged.
At the same time, inside the golden light shield, Luke reached out, pulling Tobey and Colton inside. Despite the rat horde engulfing them, biting and gnawing, they could not break the shield.
Luke stood inside, poking the golden light with his fingers, finding it thin but incredibly solid.
