Chapter 218 - 216. Be Prepared To Die I (1/2)

Third-person POV

After Murong Qing finished her wish, the leader of the black-cloaked men nodded his head and turned to Hong er.

”Back off,” he instructed.

His disciples dragged Murong Qing out from the magic circles and took 10 steps away from the magic circles.

He placed his palm on top of Hong er's head and whispered a few words under his breath. a second later, a blast of black flames flared up around Hong er's magic circle. Hong er raised her head and looked to her front with her hollow eyes.

”Your…Majesty Emperor…” Hong er whispered in her heart as more blood trickled down from her eye sockets.

Weisheng suddenly stopped in his track when he heard that familiar voice whispered his name. He turned his body left and right and looked around for the source of the voice.

”HONG ER! HONG ER!” Weisheng called Hong er's name at the top of his voice.

Yet, he could only hear his voice echoed through the forest. He bit his lips till blood started to sip out, he knew he was in wrong. He blamed himself for whatever happened to Hong er.

”Hong er! Where are you?!” Weisheng cried out her name.

Then he suddenly felt a surge of power rushed to his heart. He gripped his chest and wheezed as he fell onto his knees.

”I-I have to find Hong er….Hong er ah….Hong er… wait for me…” Weisheng crawled with his other hand.

On the other side, the black flames around Hong er grew fiercer and fully engulfed Hong er's whole body. The black flames didn't burn her skin, however, the pain was still there. Hong could only hopelessly resign to her fate, she closed her eyes and the corner of her lips arched into a gentle smile.

”I'm sorry…Sheng ge,” she whispered before she lost her consciousness.

Weisheng widened his eyes and struggled for air as he suddenly felt a huge part of his heart fade away like a speck of dust blown by a slight breeze. Half of his power that was unsealed by the previous breakdown was now completely free.

His bloody red eyes were ignited with black flames. The whispers that he heard when he almost killed Xue Lang reappeared in his brain, however, this time was louder and more malicious.

He always had a hard time to control his full power when he was young therefore his power was sealed by combining the power of several powerful mages around the world. All these years, he was learning to control his power and it succeeded to some point.

Unless he was angered or overwhelmed with grief. And the only few people that can cause him to go berserk are his family and his beloved wife.

Just as he was about to lose his sanity to his evil power, he swung his fist across his cheek. The impact of the punch immediately caused the evil Qi that was about to devour him to dissipate. As his whole evil Qi suddenly retreated from his body, his vision darkened and his body fell to the ground with blood streamed down his nose.

Xu Tingfeng swung Guan Dao and 5 head fell to the ground with their eyes still wide open.

”Tch, he really wants to kill me no matter what huh.” Xu Tingfeng gritted his teeth.

His hands never stop swinging his Guan Dao towards the never-ending soldiers. Bai Huiqing stood behind him watching over his back. Together, they fought side by side, protecting each other's back.

”Feng ge! It is best if we escape from here as soon as possible. Another wave of them is coming towards us. At this rate, even we can't hold on.” Xu Yongzheng spoke hurriedly with his back facing Xu Tingfeng.

Xu Tingfeng knitted his brows and just when he was about to nod his head, he heard a loud gasp from behind him. He looked to his behind and saw Bai Huiqing sitting on the ground with tears pouring down her eyes.

”What's wrong?!” Xu Tingfeng asked with a panicked voice.
