Chapter 1718 - 1723: Pursuers Arrive
"Ungrateful son!"
Wang Batian pointed at his son Wang Mang, filled with uncontainable rage. He never imagined that Wang Mang would attack him, leaving him utterly disappointed. But now there was no turning back, and he could only endure this strike!
"Hahaha! My dearest father, it’s unexpected that such a vile person like you would be so naive, truly believing I’d let you off so easily? Really thinking I’d wait that long?" Wang Mang said coldly, unwilling to wait any longer.
"Wang Mang, are you really my son? You bastard!" Wang Batian shouted angrily.
"What do you think? My beloved father, didn’t I learn from you? It’s all because of your teachings that I have achieved such accomplishments today; otherwise, how could I possibly be your opponent?" Wang Mang replied.
"Even so, what of it! Wang Mang, today I’ll kill you, you unfilial child!" Wang Batian roared furiously, advancing toward Wang Mang.
However, Wang Mang suddenly laughed, "Father, are you sure, in your current state, you can still kill me?"
Upon hearing Wang Mang’s words, Wang Batian felt something off and discomfort at his back. He reached to touch, only to find a bloody hole!
"Bone-dissolving Powder?!"
Wang Batian was enraged, then despair rose within him as the poison had already invaded his body. He felt himself weakening, and finally, his spine corroded, turning into a pool of blood on the ground, with only his upper and lower body left, while the middle part continued to vanish.
"Haha! Father, have a good journey!" Wang Mang said.
The vitality in Wang Batian’s eyes dwindled, and finally, he looked at his son, saying, "Don’t kill Lin Fei, Lin Fei has the dragon..."
Before he could finish, his body continued to disappear, and ultimately, his life force vanished completely, dead.
Once the arrogant master of King City, Wang Batian managed it with defiance, never allowing anyone to oppose his orders, yet he met his tragic end at the hands of his own son.
Even at the end, he was still thinking of his son, hoping his son wouldn’t trouble Lin Fei, but Wang Mang coldly smiled at the pool of blood on the ground.
"How could I possibly let that guy off! Dare to oppose me, Wang Mang? I definitely won’t let him leave alive! Father, rest in peace! After all, you can’t see anymore, haha!"
Afterward, Wang Mang took the City Lord’s token, mobilized the army, and left, starting the pursuit.
Lin Fei had already left King City and from memory, found a place much larger than King City, a city named Sky Wolf City.
Sky Wolf City lies farther beyond the Demon Beast Forest, and because the Upper Realm is so barren, filled with rampant Demon Beasts, yet where Sky Wolf City is located lacks strong Demon Beasts, so citizens live peacefully, gradually becoming wealthier, spurring rapid city development, making it prosperous.
However, Sky Wolf City itself is rather far from King City, with a swamp in between. Of course, this swamp isn’t marked on maps, but Lin Fei discovered it because it’s too obvious.
On the ground, vast muddy pits, clearly visible, only fools wouldn’t see them.
These swamps emit stench, nauseating, with white bones at the edges and many Demon Beast skeletons. Timid ones wouldn’t dare pass through.
But for cultivators, these don’t instill fear, so Lin Fei strode forward when suddenly loud commands came from behind.
Lin Fei turned and saw people from King City, led by Wang Mang!
Wang Mang looked at Lin Fei, saying, "Lin Fei, do you still wish to escape?"
"Escape? That’s not the word I’d use. How is it an escape? I didn’t run, did I? When did I flee? I boldly walked out of King City, many saw it. Besides, it’s you who killed your brother, why should I flee?" Lin Fei disdainfully addressed Wang Mang.
Wang Mang, hearing Lin Fei, frowned and said, "Nonsense, everyone knows you killed the City Lord, my father. Are you still trying to argue?!"
Lin Fei was taken aback, "You finally acted? Such a pity for Wang Batian, defending you as his son, yet ending up dead by your hand, truly a pity."
"Nonsense! You clearly killed him, and you dare slander me! Everyone, follow orders and prepare to seize this Lower Realm worm!" Wang Mang immediately commanded, not expecting Lin Fei would guess, but he was determined for Lin Fei to die here today.
"Yes!"
A line of soldiers promptly responded, their cultivation at least at Golden Core Realm. Lin Fei didn’t see any Nascent Soul Realm experts, but this was enough.
If there were Nascent Soul experts, Lin Fei might flee immediately!
"Wang Mang, do you only know tricks? Won’t you come to face me directly?"
"How could a smart person waste time with a brute? You simply aren’t worthy," Wang Mang smiled at Lin Fei.
Lin Fei huffed coldly, "Hope you keep that mindset!" Having said that, Lin Fei acted against them swiftly.
At this moment, Lin Fei pushed the Godspeed Talisman to his limit, like a stream of light, crashing into one of the cultivators.
Pfft!
The cultivator, struck by Lin Fei, immediately spat blood, body flew back, while others attacked Lin Fei.
Weapons bore down on Lin Fei.
But Lin Fei turned into a shadow again, rushing at others. Although using the Godspeed Talisman, it still required gradual speed increase, so facing close attacks, he couldn’t reach top speed, especially with face-to-face confrontation.
But Lin Fei wasn’t a pushover; he had a Demon Body, far stronger than ordinary cultivators, therefore he rushed at them, evading their attacks, and the Demon Sword formed around him, in an instant, pierced five cultivators’ chests, leaving them dead or wounded.
