Chapter 1784 - 956: Heaven Alliance Traitor (2)
Unexpectedly, now this blade appears right in front of her, and in the end, it’s going to be used by the Vice Alliance Hierarch to kill her. She found it somewhat amusing, but the kindness of women ultimately harmed both herself and others. If not for the existence of this traitorous Vice Alliance Hierarch, the previous six members of the alliance wouldn’t have died, and maybe more lives could have been spared...
Thinking about this, the Princess seemed to make up her mind; no matter what, she had to make the Vice Alliance Hierarch realize his mistakes.
Then, the Princess said to Mu Yu: "Let me fight him."
Mu Yu thought he heard wrong, but the Princess showed a determined face, completely unafraid.
Mu Yu, at this moment, maintained a calm demeanor, observing the surroundings while searching for an opportunity to take the Princess away. Yet, after a long time, he couldn’t find the right moment. Upon hearing the Princess’s words, his heart sank.
Upon hearing the Princess’s will to fight, Mu Yu felt a chill run through him.
He hurriedly tried to stop the Princess, saying: "No, he’s too dangerous."
However, what Mu Yu didn’t expect was the Princess smiling at him and saying: "What, don’t you trust me as the alliance leader?"
Seeing the Princess refute in this way, Mu Yu quickly said: "I dare not."
The Princess chuckled and continued: "Since it’s like this, let me handle this battle. Some things are better ended by myself."
Seeing the Princess already having spoken so definitively, Mu Yu no longer intervened.
At this moment, he watched the Princess draw her sword, which seemed just ordinary and not remarkable at all.
The Vice Alliance Hierarch was initially worried, but upon seeing the Princess’s limited capability, he silently mocked himself for why he had placed hope in her back then.
He originally thought that helping the Princess reclaim the world would bring him fortune and rank, but never imagined that she hadn’t made any progress in these years, and what was once his Heaven Alliance had been turned into her private faction, while he, willingly retreating to the Vice Alliance Hierarch, gradually lost his position within.
He felt a great unwillingness, or rather, extreme unwillingness, thus began scheming to regain his power and realize his ambition.
Now, as long as he kills the Princess, he would have everything.
He absolutely couldn’t hesitate, for the path he walked had soaked his hands with enough blood, so he must see it through.
The Vice Alliance Hierarch looked at the Princess coldly, full of disdain.
"Do you have any last words, I can deliver them for you." The Vice Alliance Hierarch believed he was being exceptionally kind, at least willing to carry the Princess’s final words.
The Princess calmly replied: "Isn’t it too early to talk about last words now? The outcome is still uncertain."
"Is that so?" Upon seeing the Princess’s bravery, the Vice Alliance Hierarch began to think he hadn’t misjudged her. At least, the person before him had the courage to accomplish something...
However, soon this courage would surely be wiped out by his Extreme Cold Blade.
The Princess stood still, while Mu Yu wanted to step forward to help, yet Song Cheng, that bastard, cast a cold glance, as if saying that if he dared make a move, they would all attack.
Though Mu Yu wasn’t afraid, it would inevitably risk harming the Princess; the Human Realm had only one legitimate princess, and he couldn’t afford such risk.
Thus, Mu Yu had no choice but to wait quietly, waiting for the right moment to take the Princess away.
Earlier in the battle, he had already released a spirit pigeon carrying a distress message, so as long as there were people from the nearby sub-bases, the pigeon would surely find them and deliver the message.
Lin Feng had already packed the peculiar qiong, and at that moment, the wind-chasing man came with a squad from a sub-base.
Since the moment the divine light struck with a thunderous noise, they had started rushing here.
Seeing Lin Feng, the wind-chasing man remarked: "Master, so it was you here all along."
"So, you also came?" Lin Feng asked with curiosity.
The wind-chasing man sensed something was amiss and thus said to Lin Feng: "Why do you say so, is there something wrong?"
Lin Feng, now the special envoy of the alliance leader, held the Sky Alliance Token which could be used as if representing the alliance leader.
Lin Feng said to the wind-chasing man: "Indeed, there is something." Then, Lin Feng narrated what the liaison officer had told him.
The wind-chasing man said: "That’s odd, wasn’t the rendezvous point supposed to be at the foot of the mountain?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng was dumbfounded as if sensing something wrong, recalling the liaison officer’s expression when speaking, seemingly burdened.
Lin Feng immediately said to the wind-chasing man: "Not good, the alliance leader is in danger."
Upon hearing Lin Feng mention danger to the alliance leader, the wind-chasing man and the nearby leaders became anxious, each unsure of what to do.
Just then, a small squad originally ambushed on the left route rushed down, frantically saying: "Bad news, a troop is heading up the mountain; they’ve escaped our ambush."
It was then that they realized the Princess was indeed in trouble.
Lin Feng urgently said to the newcomers: "Do you still know the way up the mountain, the closer the better."
The newcomers nodded, indicating they knew.
Immediately, Lin Feng and the others began rushing up the mountain, with hundreds heading in the direction of the Princess.
At this moment, Mu Yu was waiting for this very moment, as long as he hadn’t fallen, the opponent would fear his peril, thus wouldn’t directly strike at the Princess.
And the Vice Alliance Hierarch, full of pride and self-satisfaction, the Princess might not lose.
As long as the Princess could hold out until reinforcements arrived, they all could be saved, and the opportunity to reclaim the imperial power might still exist. But if they fell here, everything would perish.
Mu Yu couldn’t imagine, yet he was resolutely determined to protect the Princess even if it cost his life; if the critical moment arrived, Mu Yu would use his ultimate move to battle to the end, creating a disruption for the Princess to escape smoothly.
The Vice Alliance Hierarch still couldn’t believe the Princess had the audacity to challenge him, considering a mere Seven Spirit Knot, although at its peak, facing him, an Eight Spirit Knot gave her no real chance of victory.
Possibly with a good Magic Artifact, she might stand a chance to tie with him.
But such hope was absolutely nonexistent, because now he held a Divine Artifact, and even if the Princess possessed a treasure, in power merely a magic wonder, they both holding Divine Artifacts gave neither any advantage.
The Vice Alliance Hierarch finally couldn’t resist wanting to go up to see what trick the Princess was playing, or if she truly reached a dire point.
"Hahaha, since you wish to die, I’ll grant you that." The Vice Alliance Hierarch said this superficially, yet Song Cheng had reminded him to leave the Princess to him.
Thus, even though he planned to attack, he couldn’t take the Princess’s life. Therefore, when the confrontation began, the Vice Alliance Hierarch didn’t plan to go all out; he merely intended to toy with the Princess, venting years of accumulated resentment.
He regretted handing the Heaven Alliance over to the Princess, but now, he felt grateful as it gave him the chance to perform meritorious service for the false Emperor, helping to eliminate a bane worth at least becoming a General.
At this moment, a gentle breeze began to blow, the Princess gathered her spirits and assumed a fighting stance.
