Chapter 4808: Demonic Emperor Sword
Initially, over two hundred people followed him into battle, but now only twenty-odd remained around him.
Not only were many Harpies wiped out, but over ninety percent of the disciples trained by their organization, who were by his side, had either died or were wounded!
"Ah!!" Vice-Hall Master Ghost roared furiously, his eyes bloodshot.
Suddenly, a silvery-white flame assailed him. If Vice-Hall Master Ghost hadn't dodged in time, he would have been incinerated by now.
He watched a small piece of wood, wrapped in the silver flames, vanish inch by inch.
For some unknown reason, Vice-Hall Master Ghost inexplicably shivered, a sense of impending disaster settling in his heart.
He looked up and saw a person standing opposite him.
Tall and graceful, with an inherent elegance.
On his divine face, his eyes, like polished lacquer, emitted faint, cold glows, silently gazing at him.
The gaze was too terrifying, causing a sense of dread to rise from the depths of Vice-Hall Master Ghost's heart.
He, of course, recognized this man.
He was the Cangzhou Emperor, the one who had rushed to Yan City and turned the tide, salvaging the situation.
If he hadn't intervened, Yan City would probably have been taken long ago.
"Damn little brat!"
A dark, cold light flashed in Vice-Hall Master Ghost's eyes. He moved his fingers, secretly taking out a flying spiritual dagger from his inner realm.
"Die!" the Vice-Hall Master roared, urging the flying dagger in his hand to swiftly slash at Duan Yue's neck without a second thought.
This strike clearly intended to slice open Duan Yue's throat, making his blood spray on the spot.
A few streaks of cold light flickered in Duan Yue's peach blossom eyes. With a raise of his hand, a silvery-white flame tightly encircled the rapidly approaching dagger.
Vice-Hall Master Ghost found that the flame released by the Cangzhou Emperor was like a group of obedient yet mischievous little fish, tightly coiling around his dagger, preventing it from advancing even half an inch.
He immediately felt a bad premonition, turned around, disregarding the others, and vanished in a streak.
His speed was so incredible that he seemed to have exerted all his life's strength.
Unfortunately, he was fast, but the Cangzhou Emperor was even faster.
In a quick breath, Duan Yue expressionlessly blocked his path.
"Since you've come, stay," Duan Yue said coldly. With a slight lift of his palm, he drew a three-foot-long silvery-white sword from a ring of flames wrapped around his fingers.
Flames blazed around the silvery-white long sword with a whooshing sound.
In an instant, it was as if a layer of mithril had covered the silver long sword, and a dazzling light burst forth.
Vice-Hall Master Ghost prided himself on being well-traversed, but he had truly never seen a silvery-white flame so brilliant it was almost blinding.
When that beam of flame enveloped him, Vice-Hall Master Ghost initially felt no pain.
It seemed to lack the sensation of burning.
Yet, it caused a chilling, extraordinary fear.
His hand was enveloped by the silvery-white flame emanating from the Demonic Emperor Sword, followed by his arm, then moving to his shoulder, head, and his entire body!
He felt no burning pain, but he was incredibly panicked.
It was as if, at that very moment, he smelled the scent of death.
"No, ah, ahhh!" Vice-Hall Master Ghost danced in the circle of silvery-white flames.
To the other Heavens' Will disciples, their Vice-Hall Master's appearance at this moment was utterly comical.
His entire body was encircled by the silvery-white fire, and he was jumping and leaping there, roaring as if on the verge of tears.
