Chapter 264: The Fall of Lian Fu

Translator: E.3.3.Editor: Vermillion

The pitch-black arrow, launched from the cabin of the giant ship, slit through the air. A dark wind rumbled like thunder booming in the sky.

This speed was too fast, leaving no time for Lian Fu to react.

His white strands of hair rustled in the fierce storm. In a split second, the pitch black arrow had already arrived before his face.

Ji Chengyu's heart trembled. He felt a domineering aura pressing down on his body, as if he was being crushed by a gigantic mountain. The arrow gave him an awful sensation of unsettlement, prompting him to twist his head towards the ship's cabin furiously.

”When did this sovereign ask for your help?” Ji Chengyu roared in wrath.

However, the only reply he got was silence.

Lian Fu shouted with a hoarse voice and planted the Black Firmament Sword before his chest, hoping to resist this nearly inescapable strike.

Click!!

The arrow sped through the air and rammed into the Black Firmament Sword shielding Lian Fu's chest. The sword, despite how sturdy and sharp it was, nearly wailed, unable to withstand the strike.

Lian Fu's body was hurled backwards by a formidable force. His figure slid onto the surface of the ocean, sending waves crashing into the sky.

Crack!

With a crispy snap, the Black Firmament Sword in Lian Fu's hands shattered into pieces. He spat out a mouthful of blood, sensing his energy wane.

A trace of fear flickered across his eyes as he gravely peered toward the ship. That shot of arrow…was terrorizing, and definitely not the work of an ordinary person.

”King Yu… what kind of people are you colluding with? I sincerely urged you not to be so misguided as to bring disaster upon yourself. Don't ruin the great Light Wind Empire!” Lian Fu pressed hard on his chest. The Black Firmament Sword in his hands had already smattered into smithereens, only leaving behind the handle. Peering at this sword's handle, Lian Fu was overcome with incredible sorrow.

Ji Chengyu, with his bloodshot eyes, turned toward the ship. He never expected the folks on the ship to step in… they had promised to stay out of it!

”You, eunuch, are way too noisy.”

A thunderous boom reverberated above the sea as another arrow dashed out of the ship. It was as black as ink, instantly cutting through the air.

Lian Fu's eyes widened as he tried to concentrate whatever energy remained in him. Thrusting a palm forward, he attempted to block this shot of arrow.

However, the arrow slit through the sky and instantly pierced through his body, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

Lian Fu staggered several steps backwards in the air. He bit his lips as the muscles on his face quivered. A huge hole appeared on his chest, on which black mists of energy twirled about to further corrode the wounded flesh.

Spat…

Another mouthful of blood burst out as all colors drained from Lian Fu's already pale face. He no longer had the energy to hold on to the handle in his hand. As the remains of the sword fell into the ocean below, it made a small splash in the water.

”The Black Firmament Sword…” A dejected grief smeared across Lian Fu's face. That was the sword granted to him by Emperor Changfeng. Alas, this last token of memory was just smashed into bits.

He had sworn to guard the sword with his life. Now that it has been shattered… his time was also up.

”You!!” Ji Chengyu widened his eyes and glared at the blurry figures resting in the cabin furiously. He gitted his teeth with puffeded his cheeks, displaying the rage burning within.

He didn't want anyone else to get involved. Instead, he aspired to defeat Lian Fu on his own, to vanquish a figure he had considered unbeatable in the past.

He gazed at Lian Fu, who seemed to be rapidly losing signs of life. Blood gushed out of his chest, dripping into the vast sea, and was instantly swallowed by violent waves.

In the ocean, swarms of plump fishes traced the scent of blood as they leaped up. The creatures gathered by the spot where drops of Lian Fu's blood hit the water, making splashes in the wave.

Lian Fu's dry hair gradually withered. His face was as white as a sheet of paper, sending the signals of near death.

”King Yu… Don't ruin your father's lifetime of work!”

Lian Fu sighed with a low voice.

Splash!

Ji Chengyu's pupils shrank as the scarlet redness gradually faded from his eyes.

Another pitch black arrow burst out of the cabin at full speed and directly penetrated Lian Fu's fragile body, which was dangling in the air. The huge force of energy flung Lian Fu far away, generating splattering pools of blood.

Lian Fu's body has been wrecked, as if a dead leaf spiraling downward against the blowing winds.

Bang!

Lian Fu's body smashed into a small boat floating on the water. As he dully gazed at the infinite sky, his gray hair withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. His energy and spirit were dissipating, his signs of life fading.

”Your Majesty… I'm coming to serve you.”

A deep sigh of relief seemingly echoed from a distance.
