Chapter 1825 - 1830: Escape Together
He wanted to thank Lin Fei for giving him an opportunity to pour out his heart, allowing him to let go of the attachment and reluctance in his heart.
But he didn’t want to die yet, after all, he hadn’t avenged himself.
"Do you really want to die like this?" Lin Fei looked at him with a smile.
Jiang Ming frowned, not die? "Do you have a way?"
Lin Fei shook his head, "Do you have a solution? Do you think the two of us can escape?"
Jiang Ming shook his head too, "There’s a high chance we can’t escape, their strength is too strong, they have experts in the True Body Realm, we’re not their opponents."
He was very clear about this because he was a prisoner, and there were prisoners stronger than him, but what was their outcome? They still stayed obediently in prison, waiting for trial or a day to get out, otherwise, they might be killed directly.
He had no doubt about this, after all, this was the Empire, any powerful person could appear, and there were many powerful people, at least they were not the opponents of these people.
Lin Fei nodded but didn’t say anything, nor did he tell Jiang Ming his next plan. He looked at the surrounding managers and said, "Let’s end this match here, I don’t want to continue."
The manager looked at Lin Fei and said, "Are you joking with me?"
"What do you think?" Lin Fei smiled a bit.
"I think you’re joking with me, unless you die, or else neither of you think about leaving here alive," the manager said. People like Lin Fei, who violated their rules, were sure to die.
Lin Fei smiled, "I’m not joking, now I want to tell you, either we end in a draw so we can both live, or we rebel! We will leave here, it’s your choice!"
Hearing Lin Fei’s words, these people felt as if they just heard something utterly ridiculous. They couldn’t believe Lin Fei dared to say such words, it was simply courting death.
"You’re thinking too simply." The manager said.
Hearing this, Lin Fei smiled, "I’m not thinking simply, I’m just giving you a choice. If you don’t choose this, then I’m sorry to tell you, you will lose the two of us."
"Hahaha! So arrogant, now I decide, kill you!"
After saying this, the manager charged towards Lin Fei, with his iron hook clawing at Lin Fei like a dragon claw.
Lin Fei snorted coldly, reached out and grabbed the incoming attack, then Dead Fire rushed out, hit the opponent’s arm, and enveloped him in an instant.
The manager was definitely not like Jiang Ming, Jiang Ming was smart, but the manager wasn’t so clever. He tried using True Qi to resist, but found his True Qi was like oil and fanned the flames instead.
This outcome was unexpected, though they tried to isolate the Dead Fire, the burning sensation caused them to flinch, ultimately abandoning the decision, but the final result was the same.
Lin Fei looked at Jiang Ming across and said, "Do you have the guts to escape with me, or are you planning to retreat, let me face them alone, kill me, and you win?"
At this moment, Lin Fei seemed to know what Jiang Ming was thinking. His words made Jiang Ming look at Lin Fei in surprise, unable to believe Lin Fei guessed what he hadn’t thought of.
Jiang Ming smiled in response, "You didn’t kill me, that’s already merciful. Why should I stay here? If I stay, I’ll never have a chance for revenge, so... Slash!"
After speaking, Jiang Ming suddenly slashed at a manager behind him. The manager felt a sense of separation of head and body, as if he could only watch his body slowly separate from his head, with no way to stop it as blood split him apart, making any change impossible.
At this time, an Elder from the Duel Arena appeared.
"Elder! Quickly take action, they’re trying to defect!" one of the managers said, but immediately a giant beast appeared and swallowed the manager whole.
This beast was engulfed in flames, like a flying fierce tiger with wings, continuously flapping its wings and spraying scorching flames that were hard to withstand.
"Do you think you can escape? Have you considered the consequences?" This Elder was relatively young, a middle-aged man, his gaze filled with a sinister look. Being active here for long, he was used to this life. Not being ruthless would mean he wouldn’t survive.
After all, this is the Duel Arena, everyone here is skilled in combat, so they could never be indecisive.
Hearing the Elder’s words, Lin Fei and Jiang Ming both smiled. Yes, they indeed smiled. Lin Fei spoke up, "Since we’re doing this, do you think there’s still a way back? Do you think we’ll turn back?"
Indeed, they could not turn back anymore, since having done so, they thought about stronger individuals being present, yet they didn’t flinch and chose to proceed, prompting further contemplation.
The Elder from the Duel Arena smiled, "In that case, prepare to die then!"
After speaking, the Elder attacked the two. This Elder’s strength was considerable, he was in the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, surpassing Lin Fei and Jiang Ming by far, yet neither of them was afraid as they charged up against the Elder.
Lin Fei directed the Demon Sword to fly behind him towards the Elder, while Jiang Ming brandished over a dozen blades towards the Elder as well.
Nevertheless, while their attacks were strong, the gap in realms was not easily bridged, so their attacks under the Elder’s assault turned into nothingness, disappearing completely.
"Truly powerful!" Lin Fei exclaimed.
"Are you scared?" Jiang Ming said, admiring his courage.
Lin Fei smiled, "A bit frightened indeed, but not to the point of fleeing; we came here to escape today!"
"Indeed, let’s fight then!"
