Chapter 621: When Humanity Burns Away
Adam’s lips quivered as he scrutinised Ye Feng’s unscathed muscles. The elements flowed down his taut skin like soft water rather than destructive forces, unable to damage it.
Time. No matter how, he had to buy time until Xian Yunxu returned with the guardians. Hopefully, Ye Feng was still inside the abomination.
His fingers tightened around his sword, his eyes narrowing. "Fool! The cursed powers you’re playing with are beyond your control. Wake up! Wake up and discard that demonic artifact while you still can, or you’ll become what Prometheus died to repel: a threat to humanity much worse than the magus!"
A sinister sneer and an accusing finger answered his justified concerns.
"Don’t speak Prometheus’ name with your foul mouth, magus spawn. I prepared my entire life for this moment, all to behead your real body."
He hugged his sides, his head leaning back as he laughed. "Hahaha. The torture of stuffing my veins with demon blood, bathing in infernos, and forcing my cultivation into Qi deviation was worth it. I’m the puppet’s master. I’m Earth’s hero." His voice turned icy as he glared at Adam. "And I’m the one who surpassed Prometheus."
"But tell me..." A demonic smirk that let his sharp teeth out split his face. "You’re not trying to buy time, right?"
BOOM
"Shit." Adam palled as lightning arcs blinded him, and the tomb burst. Before the charred rubble could even hit the ground, his traps detonated one after another.
Yet, neither the frozen spikes nor the explosions slowed down the ashen blur Ye Feng had turned into.
Without wasting a second, he tapped on the ground—just as he felt the fiery sharpness of a clawed hand about to tear his face.
