Chapter 1416 - 1395: Final Battle in the Dark Forest
Yang Xiao looked at Mr. Master, and the atmosphere around them instantly froze.
Flying Tiger shouted loudly:
"Mr. Master, can you really kill all of us by yourself?"
Flying Tiger said this merely to buy some time.
Everyone understood that Mr. Master dared to fly to the City of Hope alone at night to challenge Yang Xiao; he must have a trump card.
Mr. Master surely wouldn’t foolishly come to his death, right?
Mr. Master sneered and glanced at Flying Tiger,
"You’ll find out if you try.
Yang Xiao, I’m giving you one last chance. I only intend to kill you. As for the others, as long as they don’t interfere, I’m not interested in killing them."
Mr. Master said this as if Yang Xiao were already a dead fish, as if he didn’t care about Elder Qi, Black Wood, and the seven Emperor Level Transcendent Realm experts.
Someone was here to kill him, yet calm and leisurely, unhurried and poised; such demeanor, Yang Xiao hadn’t seen it very often, especially after he broke through to the Emperor Level Transcendent Realm. Very few people could defeat him now.
But here was Mr. Master, practically treating him like a dead man.
Yang Xiao chuckled, cluelessly,
"Alright then, since that’s the case, I thank you in advance. If I die, don’t kill them.
Elder Qi, Black Wood, Suonan, if I die, if you can unite and assist each other, then manage the five cities together and resist any foreign invaders,
If you can’t unite, then manage individually, each of you taking one city. I hope you won’t harm each other."
Elder Qi felt a surge of emotions and proudly stepped forward, looking at Mr. Master, saying,
"Hmph, I’ve long heard of Mr. Master’s reputation. Today, let me learn a thing or two from you on behalf of the City Lord."
Mr. Master glanced dismissively at Elder Qi,
"No one paid me to kill you, and I don’t want to dirty my hands. Don’t seek death."
A chilling tone to the extreme.
Elder Qi felt agitated, his body slightly trembling, and blood rushing.
"Today, I’ll seek death. I indeed want to see if the legendary Mr. Master is as formidable as they say, perhaps it’s just bragging."
Black Wood was startled and stepped forward, raising his arm and shouting loudly:
"Brothers, Mr. Master of the Dark Web Organization wants to kill Lord Yang. Do you agree?"
"We don’t agree, we definitely don’t agree!"
"Let’s fight together!"
"Everyone, let’s go together. I don’t believe he can defeat us, several thousand strong!"
"Brothers, let’s go together. We absolutely cannot let him harm our Lord Yang."
...
In the air and all around, thousands of elite guards erupted in shouts, passionate and furious.
Black Wood raised his head, Suonan, Flying Tiger, a few Deputy City Lords, along with Fan Chen, Chen Peng, all followed suit, shouting loudly, creating a fervent atmosphere, surrounding Mr. Master with a strong impulse to tear him apart.
Faced with such a situation, Mr. Master remained fearless, quietly focusing on Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao, however, could feel an immense killing intent emanating from Mr. Master’s body.
For some reason, Yang Xiao also felt a chill surge within him.
Yang Xiao waved his hand, signaling others to stop shouting, and the scene quieted down.
Everyone waited for Yang Xiao to issue the command to attack, ready to rush forward regardless.
However, Yang Xiao knew that facing a strong opponent, no matter how many people charged, what use would it be?
This wasn’t a brawl.
Yang Xiao shouted loudly:
"Brothers, do you not have faith in me? How could I lose to Mr. Master?"
Everyone was taken aback, and some laughed.
"Black Wood, Elder Qi, lead everyone to defend the city well. Without my command, do not act hastily."
"Lord Yang?"
"What, is my command ineffective now?"
Black Wood and others paused, reluctantly bowed their heads, and said:
"Yes!"
Yang Xiao spoke to Mr. Master,
"I agree to the duel, taking responsibility for life and death,
but I don’t want our duel to harm the innocent or destroy the buildings in the city. How about we duel outside the city?"
"Fine!"
Black Wood and others wanted to follow out, but Yang Xiao stopped them.
Yang Xiao soared into the air and flew toward the outside of the city.
Mr. Master’s figure flashed, following closely as he flew out.
Fan Chen looked at Elder Qi and said,
"Elder Qi, shouldn’t we go out to see?"
Elder Qi helplessly replied,
"Lord Yang doesn’t want us to go out. Let’s follow his command."
Fan Chen looked toward Black Wood,
Black Wood spoke solemnly,
"Mr. Master’s combat power is far superior to ours. Lord Yang asked us not to follow to avoid sending us to our deaths. All seven of us are at the Emperor Level Primary Level Realm, while Mr. Master should be at least in the Emperor Level Advanced Realm. The difference in strength is too great, having more people won’t secure victory."
Fan Chen was anxious and said,
"But, we must go! Together, we might still help Yang Xiao!"
Elder Qi said,
"Lord Yang has his reasons for not allowing us to follow. Let’s wait patiently; soon, it will be morning."
...
Yang Xiao flew out of the City of Hope and headed toward the distant Dark Forest.
Mr. Master followed closely, maintaining a distance of about a hundred meters from Yang Xiao.
For them, even the pitch black night couldn’t hide anything, as they rely on their developed Divine Sense to perceive their surroundings.
Under a sky filled with stars, the starry light shone brightly, and the Dark Forest was clear under its glow.
Yang Xiao flew into the Dark Forest for roughly dozens of kilometers, landing on a tree over a hundred meters tall.
Following behind, Mr. Master stood at the top of another tree about a hundred meters away from Yang Xiao.
"Lord Yang, our Dark Web has a history of precise and thorough assassinations; no one has ever escaped our pursuit, prepare to die!"
As Mr. Master spoke, he pulled out a crystal clear Longsword from his space portal, with cold light flashing under the stars.
Yang Xiao suddenly laughed,
"Mr. Master, you’re the most confident person I’ve ever met. Are you really sure you can kill me?"
"Hmph, whether I can kill you, isn’t a matter of words; you’ll soon know."
Mr. Master’s Longsword flashed in his hand, and a massive killing intent surged forth.
Just then, a thunderous roar sounded in the forest, causing the earth to tremble.
The hundred-meter-high tree on which Yang Xiao stood began to tremble, first slightly, then more violently.
The thunderous roar grew closer, like a flash flood, a landslide, or a deafening waterfall cascading down from the heavens.
Mr. Master was startled,
"What’s that sound?"
Mr. Master stared at Yang Xiao standing atop the distant tree.
Suddenly, Yang Xiao leaped down from the tree’s height and flew into the deep forest below.
Mr. Master immediately shouted,
"Hmph, trying to escape—it’s not that easy!"
His figure flashed, rushing down, landing swiftly into the forest.
However, the ground of the forest was concealed by towering trees, completely obscured and greatly limiting visibility.
"Lord Yang, if you dare run, I will massacre the entire City of Hope, mark my words."
The Dark Forest was already devoid of Yang Xiao’s presence.
"Boom!"
The sound of thunderous rumbling roared by,
Snap, snap, snap...
Huge trees broke one after another, emitting loud cracking noises, earth-shattering.
Mr. Master was suddenly alarmed and thought inwardly,
"Uh-oh! It’s a trap!"
