Chapter 523 - 334: Accused by Zhong Hui Again
...
Xie Lan’s condition was far from good. Her hair was disheveled, and a cut ran across her beautiful face, passing through her eyes. Yet, there was no trace of sorrow in her gaze—only the unshakable determination to continue fighting for the cause she had chosen to believe in for her master. Seeing him as a key advantage, Xu Biao and Xie Lan stepped further into the room, inching closer to Little Dragon. On everyone’s faces were expressions of displeasure, despair, fury, and sorrow, as they understood that for their team to escape the clutches of the most powerful among them, someone had to stay behind to ensure the experts ceased their pursuit. That someone was Yan Xiaobao.
Yan Xiaobao saw the King-level-ranked experts of the royal tribe appear at the doorway, and once again, Zhong Hui charged at him. His intent was to carve out another smooth path—only to slaughter more Kings. However, just as he attempted to step forward, the air in front of him was abruptly sliced open by a sharp beam of light. This made Yan Xiaobao’s hair stand on end, and his entire body halted in its tracks.
"You really think I’d fall for the same trick twice?" Zhong Hui suddenly asked, his face twisting into an odd expression as another golden beam shot toward Yan Xiaobao.
Activating Speed Flow granted Yan Xiaobao only the bare minimum of power. However, this ability had been created by a King-level expert and was considered an advanced King-level skill—one that became more refined with each successive user. Since Lan Feng was a Saint, he could push this ability to its utmost potential, increasing his speed to an astonishing degree. This made him so fast that the only person in the room who could truly keep up with him was Zhong Hui. The others could only catch fleeting blurs as he moved—blurs that often ended with severed heads or pierced hearts.
"I actually had no intention of participating in this fight," Zhong Hui abruptly declared. His voice echoed across the room, so clear it darkened the Commander’s face and momentarily lightened the expressions of his allies.
However, both Yan Xiaobao and Lan Feng were not convinced. They both understood that it was unlikely for Zhong Hui to keep himself from stepping into the fray. As they had suspected, the young General spoke again after a moment,
"Though I didn’t plan to join, seeing how strong you are, Yan Xiaobao, I simply couldn’t resist the urge to test my power against you!"
Hearing those words, Lan Feng immediately screamed into his friend’s mind, "Leave! Now! Please, go as quickly as you can. Leave this to me—just go!"
