Bang!

A blazing light shined above Beast King Mountain just as Huangpu Qingtian got out from a bush. He saw a single firework and panicked.

[The demon has finally set his sights on me. However…]

With a sly grin, Huangpu Qingtian’s eyes glinted and his hand flickered with two red crystals.

[He-he-he, too little too late!]

Huangpu Qingtian took a deep breath and rushed forward filled with excitement.

He had the fire keys and even the fire exit was just around the corner, needing merely two hours to reach it.

From the distance of the flare, he noticed that Zhuo Fan was far away and would need a long time to catch up with how damaged he was.

[Even in this great escape, the true winner shall be me, the rightful king!]

“Ha-ha-ha, You Yushan, well done in keeping the demon occupied for so long. I really have to thank you for helping me live!”

Huangpu Qingtian’s tone turned colder, “Although, that’s providence. Sacrificing yourself for me is the highest form of death! I am a true king for old heaven to pave my way, ha-ha-ha…”

Cackling, Huangpu Qingtian sped up as the arrogance returned to his face.

To him, everything and anything that happened was providence.

Zhuo Fan could’ve easily broken his neck and be done with, but who knew what came over him to turn it all into a death game. Zhuo Fan had already killed two of them, leaving the first and third free to roam the forest for quite a long time.

This was clearly heaven bestowing its blessings and allowing the rightful king to make a comeback, to rule the world.

Huangpu Qingtian’s narcissistic tendencies knew no bounds, “Zhuo Fan, I’ll let you have this one. But I am the true king. One day you will die by my hand, humph…”

Bloodthirst entered his eyes as he ran faster.

…

Whoosh~

An hour later, Huangpu Qingtian flashed out of the high grass and appeared before the crimson crystal exit, with no one else around.

Huangpu Qingtian’s face lit up.

[I knew the punk wouldn’t make it. It’s my win.]

The viewers saw him appear as well and were getting nervous.

Was Zhuo Fan running late, leaving this guy to win?

Everyone thought of it as a darn shame. Not just Drifting Flowers Edifice and allies, but Regent Estate’s many vassals hung their heads in defeat.

It had started with Zhuo Fan having the four of their lives at his fingertips. He had insisted on torturing them one at a time only to finally let the main culprit off the hook.

It wasn’t out of hate for Huangpu Qingtian, but people felt sorry for Zhuo Fan. If the prey slipped away from one’s fingers, it was the worst feeling anyone could have.

People started to send their hearts to Zhuo Fan. [This must be the magnetism of the strong…]

Leng Wuchang frowned at everyone’s reaction. As things stood, it was only a matter of time before Zhuo Fan would tarnish Regent Estate’s entire reputation.

The elders from Regent Estate had no clue about this, only rejoicing at seeing their eldest young master almost out of the woods.

Huangpu Qingtian was after all a renowned genius that not even the Regent Estate could afford to lose.

“I just need to put the crystals in and I’m done.”

Panting, Huangpu Qingtian reached the exit and stabbed the crystals in the grooves.

Hum~

A red pillar shot for the skies in a dazzling light show.

Huangpu Qingtian stared at the light with a smile, “Ha-ha-ha, Zhuo Fan, I won! I’m still alive.”

Regent Estate’s elders were excited as well, watching the National Elemental Stone with red eyes. If only the array wasn’t a one way transfer, they’d be in there dragging him here.
