Chapter 328: Death of You Lan

Translator: Radiant Translations Editor: Radiant Translations

In Xue Ying’s cold and collected tone, You Lan could feel a killing intent that penetrated deep into his bones.

How? How is it that I wasn’t able to detect them and that they were able to suddenly appear in front of me? Lord You Lan anxiously tried to think of a way to keep himself alive.

Countless plans were drafted in his mind, until he finally decided on an idea and grinned. “Why is it that both of you insist to fight me? We’re in Crimson Rock Mountain now, and the most important thing now is to get through the Sky-Reaching Vine. You know just how dangerous of a task that is. While the first and second vine leaves were incredibly dangerous, they were filled with fortuitous encounters meant to uncover our untapped potential. It’s only from the third vine leaf that the real danger reveals itself. Based on our strength, we don’t have much hope of passing through them. Don’t forget—of all those who entered Crimson Rock Mountain this time around, I am the only one left who can use Deity scrolls.”

“Mn?”Chen Jiu and Xue Ying were startled upon realizing this fact.

Both of them, as well as the Meishan Clan Master and Jian Huang, were Transcendent Knights. Only Lord You Lan, who came from Dark Abyss, was able to use Deity scrolls.

“The trial of the third vine leaf world is much more dangerous. I can help you and provide you with support in the form of Deity scrolls. By then, wouldn’t you have a much bigger chance to pass through the third vine leaf?” Lord You Lan sent the two a big toothy grin.

“Isn’t passing the Sky-Reaching Vine more important to you than killing me?” Lord You Lan continued staring at them.

Still clinging to a thread of hope, he continued, “My scheme has already failed. Moreover, once all four of you join together, I’ll get to using Deity scrolls to obediently support you all. You may rest assured; I will do my best to help you by casting various boosts on your body through the Deity scrolls.”

He went on, “There’s no benefit to killing me. Let me live, however, and you’ll be that much more likely to pass the next trial.”

“Dong Bo, we should let him live for now. We can watch over him…” Chen Jiu sent to Xue Ying as he turned to look at him.

“Watch over him? Our plan is to cultivate in the Great Canyon for a year. How do you plan to watch over him during that time? Furthermore, once we enterthe third vine leaf, we will begin undergoing various trials. By that point, we’ll no longer be able to watch over him,” Xue Ying sent back.

“But he can use Deity scrolls…” Chen Jiu retorted.

Lord You Lan only watched from the side. Although he couldn’t hear them, he knew Xue Ying and Chen Jiu were discussing his proposal.

“You have a point there.” Xue Ying glanced over Lord You Lan.

Lord You Lan smiled, trying his hardest to appear friendly.

“But…you still have to die!” Xue Ying finished in an icy tone. As soon as the last word left his lips, the fiery-red spear in his hand launched into the air, a trail of fire blazing behind it, as it struck Lord You Lan.

“You…” Lord You Lan did not believe Xue Ying would still choose to kill him, in spite of his being the only remaining Transcendent who could use Deity scrolls.

“Die!” Lord You Lan’s eyes were smoldered with insanity. He released a black flame which enveloped Xue Ying and then, without daring to stick around any longer, he turned into a stream of particles; he did not even bother looking back at the result of his attack. His only goal was to escape the scene with his life intact.

Hua hua hua…

His view was filled with numerous visages of Xue Ying surrounding him from every direction. Some even leaned closely on his body.

“You think you can escape?” each of the Xue Yings vocalized simultaneously. While the previous attack had aimed to destroy Xue Ying’s real body, by the time it arrived, Xue Ying had already escaped into the Mirage.

“This…” At the sight of thirty six Mirage Avatars surrounding him, Lord You Lan’s heart froze. A frightening scenario flashed through his mind.

He panicked and desperately tried to find a way to escape.

Hong~

A terrifying gravitational force seeped into the surrounding space. Once it reached Lord You Lan, he could tell that the invisible force was able to drag him down, slowing his speed.

“Die.” Xue Ying appeared before Lord You Lan and stabbed his spear at him.

In response, Lord You Lan waved his hand and caused the flow of time to slow down around him.

Hu~

While still approaching Lord You Lan, the spear suddenly disintegrated.

This Xue Ying, who had attacked him, was only a Mirage Avatar—a fake. Xue Ying’s true body could change positions with any Mirage Avatar, but only if it was within a hundred meters of him. This ability, coupled with the help of the gravitational force, made it so he moved much faster than his prey, Lord You Lan. Xue Ying was easily able to catch up to him.
