Chapter 533: In the Fates

The battle between Azure Dragon Emperor and Cang Yu had escalated to a fierce level, with both sides using their full strength.

Cang Yu and Qian Lin were surprised to find out how tough the Azure Dragon Emperor was. Qian Lin’s arm was hit by a blast of cold energy and he had no choice but to let go of it.

Luckily, Qian Lin belonged to the plant tribe, so losing a part of his body didn’t affect him much. If he hadn’t let go of his arm willingly, the cold energy would have spread and caused serious damage.

Cang Yu was focused on finding the Azure Dragon Emperor’s weak spot, as not transforming into a dragon meant carrying snake-like characteristics every day.

The weak spot was the Azure Dragon Emperor’s vulnerability.

Despite being well protected by the Azure Dragon Emperor, the vulnerable spot occasionally got hit by Cang Yu and Qian Lin’s attacks, increasing the Emperor’s anger.

However, while focusing on protecting its vulnerable spot, the Azure Dragon Emperor neglected to protect its horn on the top of its head. As a result, it gradually started losing against Cang Yu and Qian Lin.

The power of the cold energy had already caused Qian Lin some trouble, so they didn’t want to corner the Azure Dragon Emperor too tightly, as they were unsure of how much of its original power the Emperor still possessed.

A desperate dragon can be dangerous.

On the other side of the battlefield, the situation had become extremely critical.

“This is the last time we can move a short distance. I tried my best, Zhang Mu, are you still not feeling well?”

Luo Wanxun’s voice had become so faint that it was almost inaudible. She was running out of energy.

“Sorry, I need a little more time. I’ve caused trouble for you.”

Wrapped in the Blood Lotus, Zhang Mu let out a sigh. He slowly regained some control of his body, but realized the Blood Lotus had not finished absorbing.

It would take some more time at least, but the remaining energy in Luo Wanxun’s body couldn’t support another teleportation.

He could vaguely sense that the Blood Lotus had awakened its own consciousness, making it difficult to remove. It still needed some time.

But, there really was no more time to spare.

The Corpse Emperor had already rushed to them, looking at the exhausted Luo Wanxun with a smirk. He said, “Why aren’t you running away? Weren’t you moving so fast just now?

Can’t run anymore? If you can’t run, then it’s my turn. I’ll torture you slowly, not let you die easily.”

The Corpse Emperor’s face looked very scary, almost sickening. He had lost all confidence during the chase just now. Every time Luo Wanxun was almost captured by him, she just managed to escape at the last moment.

Luo Wanxun bravely watched as the Corpse Emperor approached step by step. Even though she was tired, she still stood in front of Qing Ling and Zhang Mu to protect them.

“You’re exhausted yourself, yet you still want to protect others. Are these thoughts of yours genuine or learned from those hypocritical humans?”

The Corpse Emperor saw Luo Wanxun’s movement and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes. Just as he was about to attack, Qing Ling rushed forward from behind. However, the Corpse Emperor casually swatted her away further, leaving her lying on the ground, fate unknown.

Luo Wanxun watched the Corpse Emperor with fiery eyes, but didn’t say a word. In her heart, every word spoken to this Corpse Emperor disgusted her.

“What’s this? Enjoy protecting others, don’t you? But liking and being able to are two different things. Since you like it so much, I’ll let you taste what it’s like to helplessly watch your companions die.”

This little girl is one, the second is that monster over there.”

The Corpse Emperor was extremely irritated by Luo Wanxun repeatedly escaping his attacks. Suddenly, he didn’t want her to die so quickly. He decided to make this girl, who dared to offend him without even having a complete domain, taste the flavor of despair completely.

The next moment, his claws, gleaming with cold light, struck Zhang Mu’s body with full force.

Although Zhang Mu knew that Blood Lotus’s full power was used to assimilate the will of the host, he could only hope that it could suddenly counterattack.

But reality disappointed Zhang Mu. Even though the Corpse Emperor was within reach, there were no signs of the vines on the surface of the Blood Lotus making any moves. It had no extra strength left.

Zhang Mu’s heart suddenly sank as he watched the Corpse Emperor’s attack about to strike, feeling powerless to leave.

Before the Corpse Emperor could break through Zhang Mu’s outer defenses, the entire body of the Corpse Emperor was instantly sent flying!

Luo Wanxun, who had just been too weak to support her body, now had eyes shimmering brightly!

The Corpse Emperor, with a face full of disbelief, looked down from above, and this area seemed to have become exclusive.

“It actually perfected its domain!”

Yes, Luo Wanxun, at the critical moment, while running out of energy, somehow emitted a special aura that instantly perfected her domain.

She did not want to see Zhang Mu die, and this determination supported her from collapsing. This crucial power quickly pushed the Corpse Emperor away after the domain was initially formed.

However, the Corpse Emperor’s smile on his face grew even bigger.

“Is there an awakened fourth-rank expert in the field now? I am very satisfied.”

He projected his voice from outside Luo Wanxun’s space, intimidating their souls.

“Thought you could escape unscathed by awakening your domain? Too naive, you just served yourself on my plate, becoming an extra dish.”

In the Corpse Emperor’s mind, only fourth-rank domain experts were worthy of being devoured by him.

At this moment, the drained White Tiger Emperor, left with only a hint of faith in the darkness, Zhang Mu has now regained the ability to speak, teasingly saying, “White Tiger, on the brink of death, tell me that secret, you saw it too, I have no strength to resist this Blood Lotus, it’s not that I don’t want to spare you.”

Sensing the external crisis resolved, Zhang Mu shamelessly began to coax the White Tiger Emperor.

The dehydrated consciousness of the White Tiger Emperor transmitted regretful and helpless information.

“Perhaps when I sought revenge for those killed tiger cubs, I should have thought about my own fate.”

“I shouldn’t have anything to do with you at all,” he said.

Zhang Mu replied helplessly, “Do I have to take the blame for this too?”

The White Tiger Emperor sighed deeply and said weakly, “Forget it, it’s all fate.”

“You will die in a more tragic way than me, it’s…”

The White Tiger Emperor’s voice abruptly stopped, as if it was meant to be this way, just as he was about to reveal something crucial, his strength was stolen by the Blood Lotus.

In the darkness, Zhang Mu fell into silence.
