Chapter 328, - Go on Run, One-legged Dragon! (1/2)

Editor: Elitecoder

“Which one, which one~? I wonder who’s the lucky bastard that gets to go first. The suspense is killing me.”

Sneering, Zhuo Fan snapped his fingers and a wood piece floated out of the box.

A tiny character was etched on it.

Four!

“Oh, it’s four.” Zhuo Fan’s face split into a wide and very malicious grin. Then he asked, “Remind me again, who was number four?”

Yan Fu spoke with reverence, “Steward Zhuo, number four is Forest Fleeting Dragon, Lin Xuanfeng.”

“Oh, it’s that gimp dragon. What rotten luck! Among Six Dragons and One Phoenix, I seem to recall having already taken my ire on him twice so far. Now providence has spoken and has placed him first in my path. Ha-ha-ha, I can’t help but wonder, has his crimes earned him such ill-fate or is he just so down on his luck, so cursed, to suffer hell first?”

Laughing, Zhuo Fan said, “Whatever, in his case, he truly must be ill-fated, ha-ha-ha…”

Zhuo Fan pointed at the sky.

A flare shot up and exploded into four fireworks bathing the Beast King Mountain in red.

The frantic Huangpu Qingtian, scurrying in the forest, looked up at the sound, “Four fireworks means number four. Lin Xuanfeng is such an unlucky dog.”

Huangpu Qingtian shook his head, rejoicing inside.

Zhuo Fan was really playing by the rules and wasn’t targeting him specifically. Or more likely than not, he’d be after him the first chance he got.

With Lin Xuanfeng playing the first victim, it bought him precious time to find the keys.

Tightening the red crystal in his hand, Huangpu Qingtian took a deep breath and sped up in the search for its pair.

He needed yin and yang keys to be home free.

He had to work even faster now. Who knew how fast Lin Xuanfeng would fall and who’d be the next poor schmuck to follow?

On the off chance it was him, that would mean death!

Although he breathed easier for a moment, the anxiety only mounted…

Yan Bangui and You Yushan noticed the flare with their nerves stretched taut. This meant Zhuo Fan’s death game had started.

But they relaxed soon after, seeing Zhuo Fan going after Lin Xuanfeng. Their safety was assured, for now.

Though they also knew that once Lin Xuanfeng fell, Zhuo Fan would go after them. And with their cultivation sealed up, Zhuo Fan would pick them like ants.

And so, their speed mounted, as did their will to live…

The pressure had grown on the three who lucked out but the last one was showing quite a different reaction.

“Hell yeah! I got the wood exit keys. My luck is off the hook!”

In a particularly glum and dark corner of the forest, Lin Xuanfeng clenched the two green crystals and danced in joy.

Even with a number of close to thirty thousand people wandering Beast King Mountain’s forest for a month now, the wood exit keys were never found. And here he was catching a lucky break.

[This luck is godlike!]

All he had to do was get to the wood exit and he’d be back in the safety of Dragon Cloud City.

This would make his survival, by Zhuo Fan’s game rules, providence. Zhuo Fan couldn’t touch him.

Zhuo Fan may be a very sore loser, but every elder in Dragon Cloud City, along with Dugu Zhantian and Fang Qiubai keeping the peace, would make sure to prevent any foul play.

He would be safe!

Filling his lungs with air, Lin Xuanfeng felt the urge to bow before the mighty power of heaven, to offer his gratitude for actually caring, for once, about his fate. All previous resentments were wiped clean as his luck had finally turned.

He was looking at the dawning sky with a smile on his face when a sudden flare exploded into four fireworks. The crimson sky reflected perfectly on his equally red face.

“The heavens are giving me their blessing, ha-ha-ha…”

Lin Xuanfeng was still trapped in his fantasy, giggling away. But then his smile froze.

[How can old heaven get up and burst for no rhyme or reason? That’s man-made.] With the four having their cultivation sealed, it only left Zhuo Fan.
