back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shook her head at him and tugged on his sleeve, wanting to pull him along with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Huo Fei Li stood where he was and he moved his other hand to the handle of his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no time for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things were moving fast with the Dark Lord approaching with a cold stare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Fei Li drew out his sword and pointed it at the Dark Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temperature in the surroundings dropped with the blade of the sword giving out a cold glare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His men also drew out their swords and stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dark Lord was unfazed by them and he stretched out his arms, as if he was inviting them to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Fei Li’s men gave out a roar and they lunged at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two of them slashed their swords at his legs while two of them leaped and attacked from the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their swords shot out slicing waves at the Dark Lord from all angles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Dark Lord blocked the slicing waves coming for his legs, he would be hit by those coming from the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was how the Huo Family Sword Formation worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attacking and giving their opponents no chance of escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, although it worked for most, their opponent this time was the Dark Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark glow emerged from the Dark Lord’s arms and legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They engulfed his body within a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t even flinch when the slicing waves from the swords hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, there was nothing but silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slicing waves got absorbed by the dark glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell...\" Huo Fei Li’s men couldn’t believe what they saw but they didn’t stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them started moving and encircled the Dark Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Dark Lord shook his head and it was his turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swung his arm around and the dark glow that was engulfing his body extended out like a whip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It whipped at Huo Fei Li’s men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clank!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wielded their swords at the dark glow but once the blades of their swords came into contact with the dark glow, the blades broke into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible!\" One of them shouted when he glanced onto the ground at the remnants of his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their swords were forged with the best material the Huo Family could afford.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it was the first time that their swords couldn’t even withstand a single hit from their opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master run!\" They knew the situation was dire and they shouted at Huo Fei Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Fei Li froze at what he had just witnessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the first time he saw someone that could defeat the Huo Family Sword Formation with just a move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fei Li, run!\" But he snapped out of it when he heard Lu Ting’s voice shouting at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Lu Ting and then at the Dark Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dark Lord had raised his hands and the dark glow surrounding his body extended up into the air, and it separated into fine strands of dark glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strands of dark glow darted downwards and plunged into the bodies of his men like a hot knife into butter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splatter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bodies of his men offered no resistance to the strands of dark glow that had rained down onto them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood spurted out from their wounds when the strands of dark glow retracted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Fei Li’s men dropped to the ground on their knees and they struggled to get back up on their feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was futile, they thrashed around suddenly before falling flat on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after they lay motionlessly on the ground, worms wriggled out from the wounds towards the Dark Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dark Lord brushed his black long hair and glanced at Huo Fei Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, are you ready to do what you’ve said in your speech? Now is the time to show your resolve.\" He said and gave Huo Fei Li a cold smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Fei Li saw what happened to his men and the magnitude of the situation hit him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His father had always told him that it was dangerous out there to be a cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never be arrogant as you will never know who you meet with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And today, it came true for Huo Fei Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His men that were tasked to protect him were all at the final stage of the Qi Concentration Level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not that many could be a match to them unless they were at Foundation Establishment level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this strange man in a dark robe was able to take them down within a few moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every sense of his was telling him that he had to escape with any means possible to stay alive from the strange man in dark robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he glanced at Lu Ting’s face with her worried eyes, he knew he couldn’t be like a coward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lu Ting saw his eyes change with determination, she pulled harder at his sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Fei Li would ensure that she could at least escape unscathed from the strange man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t sure whether it was due to the words from the strange man or whether he felt that it was his duty as her fiance, but there wasn’t much of a choice for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dark Lord saw what was going on and when Huo Fei Li glanced at him with a determined face and he nodded approvingly at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There might still be hope for the Da Qian Dynasty...\" The Dark Lord gave out a long sigh and took a step forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ting felt her heart sink when she saw it and she desperately rubbed her thumb ring again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on... help me...\" Ghost Hands Fong had helped her escape from death and she hoped that it would still be possible this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the little quibbles she had with Ghost Hands Fong didn’t seem to be so important anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What mattered now was to be able to escape from certain death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no response from Ghost Hands Fong, she was in despair when she saw the Dark Lord raise his hands at them.\u003C\u002Fp>",1047,"2026-06-03T13:58:56.971Z",1,"novelbin.me","6e9085416871f3387a11ae0facedab0fcf61ea8e2538d0e35024bf61cdee2eea","clan-prosperity-starting-with-my-servant-girls-chapter-290","clan-prosperity-starting-with-my-servant-girls-chapter-288",469,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fclan-prosperity-starting-with-my-servant-girls-cover.jpg"]
