Chapter 1425 - 1425
"Answer me first!"
"Hahaha, so I am right. You still don"t know about this place! You"re just like I was until a few weeks ago! So naive." Yui Ling glanced at Zhu Chang as if she was looking down at him.
"Are you answering or not? It looks like you really don"t want your key back. Whatever, I"ll just keep it."
"You! If you want the answer, you must give me the key!" Yui Ling told Zhu Chang.
"Either it"ll happen the other way around, or it won"t happen at all," Zhu Chang retorted. "We have all the time we need. Don"t worry; I"m not in any hurry."
"You"re not in a hurry, but I am! Either you return the key, or I take it back from you by force!"
"You are so cute, hahaha." Zhu Chang burst into laughter. "You actually think you can take it back by force."
He looked back. "Long Chen, stay inside the barrier. Let me talk to her in the language she understands."
After reminding Long Chen, he covered Long Chen and Xun in a different barrier which protected them from all sides. He stopped using the bigger barrier and flew higher as well.
"I will give you the freedom of choice. You can give me my answer and my friend will give you the key back. Or you can go through me and try to take the key back by force, but remember, that won"t be as effective as you think it"ll be."
"So, what do you want?"
"You want my answer? Here it is!" Yui Ling clapped her hand, making an ice prison appear around Zhu Chang, which had ten inches thick ice walls, but the prison wasn"t made from ordinary ice either.
It contained the beastly energy which made the walls of the prison as strong as treasures.
Thousands of spikes came out of the inner walls of the prison and flew everywhere.
"It"s the newest skill that I myself made. Be glad that you"re going to die with it. I wanted to save this skill for the upcoming Beastly Battles, but it"s not half bad to finish you using it right now. I"ll just have one less opponent there."
"Now, to deal with you thieves." She turned to Long Chen. "A measly demon thinks he can steal something that belongs to me and survive? Heh, I"m going to enjoy killing you!"
"I wonder what her biggest mistake is. Underestimating Zhu Chang or underestimating you," Xun muttered, shaking her head.
"At the moment, it"s underestimating him. She still hasn"t attacked me. And I doubt he"s going to let her attack me either. But if she somehow does, I might be about to become a fugitive for Ice Phoenixes for killing one of them," Long Chen lazily said.
"It"s too bad she"s an Ice Phoenix and not a real Phoenix. It would"ve been worth taking her out otherwise," he continued. "Could have had two guys with one arrow."
"You!" Yui Ling"s face started twitching unwillingly as she heard Long Chen"s words. He was talking about her as if she was an insect that was trying to get crushed under her feet.
She couldn"t understand where this guy was getting so much courage.
"You are really courting death! Let me fulfill your wis.h.!.+" She started flying towards Long Chen.
Boom~
Just as Yui Ling was halfway, her ice prison shattered, and its pieces flew in all directions.
"This was certainly pretty good. Not bad at all. You"ve really grown since last I saw you," Zhu Chang said, patting his clothes.
"You! How are you safe?!"
"Safe?" Zhu Chang asked. "Don"t tell me you really expected that thing to kill me? I thought it was just to delay me?"
" If its job was delaying me, then it"s not a bad job. But if its job was to destroy me, then it did a pretty bad job. I guess I praised you for no reason." he sighed.
"You dare mock me?!"
"Don"t get so angry. You showed me your new skill; let me show you mine as well," Zhu Chang responded, snapping his finger.
Tens of green spears appeared around Yui Ling, which made a prison around her.
"Unlike yours, it"s not a skill I made, but not bad, right? If we"re talking about delaying, it can delay you even more." Zhu Chang laughed. "I give it five minutes before you can break it."
While speaking, he brought an apple out of his pocket and took a bite. The actions of Zhu Chang angered Yui Ling even more as they seemed insulting to her.
On the battlefield, he was showing that he could take a lunch break because the opponent was really weak.
"Zhu Chang, I"ll kill you!" The girl yelled, enraged. She started attacking the spheres that were forming her person.
Despite her attacks, the spears didn"t break. They only grew weakened. Without stopping, she kept attacking again and again.
Finally, the spears started developing cracks before ultimately shattering.
"Five minutes and twenty seconds. You were slower than I expected," Zhu Chang commented, sighing. "I wonder why I expect more."
"You will die! I swear on my life I will kill you today!" Yui Ling roared. She started calling her Soul Weapon out.
"Zhu Chang and Yui Ling, you two are here as well? Are you also here for the same thing? Why are you fighting right now though? We aren"t even inside the Temple yet."
The battlefield was getting intense when a calm voice came out of nowhere.
Long Chen turned around, wondering who it was. The voice was coming from the back.
As he looked back, he heard Xun"s voice. "The Qilin? Interesting indeed. So many G.o.dly Beast Heirs are here at this time. I wonder what is happening here. This might not be a coincidence after all."
"How could Zhu Chang not know about this place if it wasn"t a coincidence?" Long Chen asked. "Unless he is pretending for some reason."
"I don"t mean him. I think he actually doesn"t know about it, but didn"t you hear? The Ice Phoenix knows where we are and what she"s looking for. The Qilin also knows something. Something big might be going on. I"m not sure if it"s a good thing or a bad," Xun answered.
"That"s true. We need to be more careful than we thought. And we must find the truth. Because if they"re here, they might be trying to find a way to locate... I can"t let that happen," Long Chen agreed.
"Bai Gu, you"re here as well? Just what"s happening in this place? Maybe you can answer me faster than this crazy girl."
