Chapter 247: Intense Battle

Old Devil Feng was no idiot. If anything, he was a crafty old man. He had already guess correctly what SongZhong’s intentions were when he saw his actions. He could not help but cursed, “Darn fatty, that direction is where the Lightning Eagle King is. Even if you were to lure me over there, I will still be able to leave at any moment. But you may not escape from them. Why not you just follow me; at the very most, I promise to not kill you.”

Obviously, Old Devil Feng didn’t expect himself defeating the ten thousand underlings of the Lightning Eagle King. While they may not really end up fighting, he will not want to risk that chance. If they were to really fight and allow SongZhong to escape in the confusion, he would not even get the chance to cry. As such, he took a step back. However, SongZhong did not bother with him and replied with a cold laughter, “Haha, you’re afraid? A pity it’s too late! Let me tell you the truth, even if I am to die, I will definitely drag you down with me!

“You… You are an idiot! I am giving you a chance to leave and you want to seek death?” Old Devil Feng replied in exasperation.

“Do you really think that I will believe your nonsense?” SongZhong replied with disdain.

Seeing how SongZhong was skeptical of him, Old Devil Feng could not help but sigh. Then, he said anxiously, “I’ll make an oath!”

“Oath?” As SongZhong heard that, he was startled as he thought to himself, ‘Is this old man really scared? But even if he is willing to make an oath, I still cannot entrust my life to him.’ “Sorry, I won’t believe you even with an oath. If you are really afraid of the Lightning Eagle King, you can just leave now. I will promise not to spread your secret when I escape!”

Just as how SongZhong did not believe Old Devil Feng, Old Devil Feng did not believe SongZhong as well.. Even if SongZhong is reputable, this matter concerns his life and death. How would Old Devil Feng dare to believe him so easily?

Thus, Old Devil Feng gritted his teeth and scolded, “Darn fatty, you forced me into this!”

As he said that, Old Devil Feng attacked even more relentlessly, as if he was experiencing a spasm. As Old Devil Feng gave it his all, the palm strikes fell down from the skies like rain as water pillars filled the sky. At the same time, SongZhong who was in the water, felt immense pressure. Despite trying his best to dodge them, he was still sent flying to the left and right from the remnant force. The protective light of the Blood River Pattern on him also became shaky as though it was about to break apart at any moment. The moment this protective light were to break apart, SongZhong’s body would receive a large shockwave for sure and he would definitely be injured. The moment he gets injured, he would no longer be able to maintain his agileness. At that time, he would most likely be struck by Old Devil Feng’s palm strikes and no one would be able to save him. But at this moment, SongZhong was completely helpless. He can only watch as his protective light becomes fainter by the moment and finally disappearing. Following which, the water pressure rushed at him from all directions as Old Devil Feng’s palm strike struck out again.

Just when SongZhong was about to be a.s.saulted by the water pressure and killed by Old Devil Feng’s palm, there were countless of Lightning Eagles which appeared in the sky. They charged over at the speed of lightning while releasing countless of lightning bolts from their wings, over a few kilometres away. Without exception, all the lightning bolts struck towards Old Devil Feng.

If it was during normal times, Old Devil Feng would  naturally be able to defend himself with a magical artifact. But now, his only magical artifact had been destroyed already, making him a poor broke. Under such circ.u.mstances, Old Devil Feng would not dare be careless. He then invoked a Wind type spell to avoid them all instantly. However, he also lost the ability to continue attacking SongZhong.

As the despairing SongZhong witnessed such a situation, he was completely elated. Without a second word, he summoned his copper bell and blocked that palm strike. Even though he was injured by the blow’s recoil, it was still much better than dying on the spot. Now that Old Devil Feng was forced to escape, the heavily injured SongZhong finally had a chance to take a breather. Right at this moment, the Lightning Eagle King who was riding a gigantic Lightning Eagle also appeared. Her adorable countenance had feelings of worry all over it, as she shouted out to SongZhong in concern, “Oi, little highness, are you alright?”

As SongZhong and Old Devil Feng heard that, they were dumbfounded. Especially SongZhong, as he thought to himself, ‘Since when did I become their little highness? What is this Lightning Eagle King playing at?’

Old Devil Feng’s face also contorted in doubt. However, he quickly realized that the Lightning Eagle King must have made a mistake. As such, he shouted out, “Lightning Eagle King, Lei Shan’er. This is a matter between us human cultivators. I would recommend that you do not intervene. If not, do not blame this old man for being rude!”

Under different circ.u.mstances, Lei Shan’er would most likely turn around and leave the moment Old Devil Feng shouted out. While Old Devil Feng was looking rather pathetic, he was still a completed YuanYing cultivator. Usually, even if an expert like him is unable to win against the 10,000 Lightning Eagles, it wouldn’t be an issue for them to kill a few thousand before escaping. Lei Shan’er was also no idiot; she would definitely not sacrifice so many of her underlings on a human cultivator.

But this time, Old Devil Feng obviously made a wrong bet. Lightning Eagle King then frowned as anger suffused her eyes. Pointing to Old Devil Feng, she scolded, “Darn b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you actually dare to attack the descendant of the Eastern Ocean’s Emperor. You really deserve to die! Little ones, attack! Kill this b.a.s.t.a.r.d for me!”

As the Lightning Eagles by the side heard that, they did not waste any time, unleas.h.i.+ng lightning bolts like a thunderstorm, striking Old Devil Feng from all directions.
