Chapter 520: Chapter 208: Exposure, Hostage-taking (Combined Chapter)_2
All three Island Masters were looking at Li Mingwu, who had now shed his disguise and appeared as a wizened old man.
Moreover, the corners of his mouth were still stained with blood; clearly, in the recent explosion of Five Elements Power, although he had managed to block it, he had still been wounded.
“Li Mingwu…”
“So it was you; you’re the one behind all this.”
Bai Yi was furious as he glared at Li Mingwu.
The Island Master of True Dragon Island was no different, his gaze upon Li Mingwu filled with fury.
The Array Master from before had been invited by him, yet in the end, he had died at the hands of Li Mingwu.
Furthermore, the Array Master that Li Mingwu had been impersonating had also been his invitee.
Now, that somewhat famous Array Master had suddenly turned out to be Li Mingwu; needless to say, he must have already fallen victim to Li Mingwu’s deadly hands, especially if they recalled the previous assault outside the entrance of the cave mansion, amidst the white fog.
The Island Master of True Dragon Island instantly understood what had happened.
It wasn’t just the Island Master of True Dragon Island; Bai Yi and the Demon Lord of Myriad Demons realized it at the same time.
Because the number of people they brought with them to enter the Five Elements Cave Mansion this time wasn’t large, so they were somewhat familiar with each other.
If Li Mingwu wanted to blend in, obviously, it would be best to find someone to replace, but as for when Li Mingwu infiltrated the Five Elements Cave Mansion and suddenly made a move against the Array Master
The three of them were currently unsure.
Presumably, he must have had other methods.
After all, no one knew the Five Elements Cave Mansion better than Li Mingwu.
Facing the three Island Masters, Li Mingwu merely glanced at them before a hoarse and aged voice emanated from his mouth:
“Do you really think that with just you, you can stop me?”
Having said that, Li Mingwu immediately departed, flying in a different direction.
This direction was where Xue Yilin was located.
Seeing Li Mingwu heading towards him, Xue Yilin first panicked, then managed to use his Flying Sword to defiantly attempt a defense.
At this moment, Bai Yi’s face turned extremely ugly; he ignored the rampantly dissipating wild Five Elements Spiritual Force and rushed out, trying to intercept Li Mingwu.
At the same time, Bai Yi shouted:
“Li Mingwu…”
“You won’t escape today, don’t waste your energy.”
However, Li Mingwu only turned his head and let out a sneer at Bai Yi, and then in a flash appeared behind Xue Yilin.
At that moment, Xue Yilin’s Flying Sword struck empty air, and Li Mingwu abruptly appeared at his side, grabbing him.
Xue Yilin, now as pale as a ghost, cried out desperately to Bai Yi:
“Island Master, save me…”
Seeing this, Bai Yi’s brows furrowed even more as he directly confronted Li Mingwu:
“Let Xue Yilin go…”
“You’re cornered now, resistance is futile; you might as well surrender.”
However,
Li Mingwu paid no heed to Bai Yi and, seizing Xue Yilin, attempted to flash away and escape.
Meanwhile, Bai Yi and the other two Island Masters gave chase, conjuring their magical treasures, trying to stop Li Mingwu for fear that he would flee.
Watching the battle commence, the remaining two Nascent Soul Cultivators kept their distance, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
Lin Jing did the same, naturally dragging his ‘injured’ body to one side.
This battle wasn’t something they could participate in; even a mere brush could be life-threatening.
…
…
The combatants, on one side, were Li Mingwu at the Nascent Soul Peak.
On the other side were the three Island Masters of Divinity Transformation Stage.
If we’re being honest, the three Island Masters combined were not weaker than Li Mingwu, especially since Li Mingwu was severely injured.
Together, they should have already captured him.
However, this place was too special; the slightest mishap could trigger the local Formation, and they did not dare to exercise their full power.
Moreover, Li Mingwu had a ‘hostage’ in hand, which made them even more cautious, not daring to unleash their full strength.
Li Mingwu was likewise restrained, perhaps also cautious, not daring to go all out.
Thus, both sides repeatedly clashed with their spells, with neither suffering substantial losses.
Lin Jing watched the battle and Xue Yilin, who was held hostage by Li Mingwu, and hesitated.
Lin Jing wondered whether or not to expose the relationship between Li Mingwu and Xue Yilin.
The current hostage situation was probably a play orchestrated by Li Mingwu and Xue Yilin
Looking at the situation, the fact that Xue Yilin was actually Ling Yi might be unknown to the three great Island Masters.
