Chapter 506: Epilogue

Luoning's longsword precisely pierced Catherine's heart, eliminating this alien who had followed Selandier from the Beifeng Plain.

At this moment, Aruba finally caught up to his speed and landed on the ground.

Looking at this result, he, who was already aged, seemed to instantly age another ten years.

Before they came, they had practiced the Trapping Kill Array, and the target of that practice was the Sun-level Flame Envoy, Lord Yanyi.

Although Lord Yanyi had damaged his own strength to cultivate so many Flame Seal Knights, he possessed solid late-stage Sun-level strength.

Yet such a powerful person, without attacking his weak points, was still trapped by their Trapping Kill Array for a full half hour before he could break free.

It was precisely this kind of practice that gave Aruba, Catherine, and the others the confidence to slay the dragon and kill Luoning.

They did not expect that in actual combat, Luoning would be able to discover the weak point of the Trapping Kill Array so quickly and break out of the formation.

Luoning turned to look at the other party, "If my guess is correct, you should be the long-renowned Great General of the Tricia Kingdom, Marquis Aruba, right?"

Aruba nodded, "Marquis Luoning, your strength makes me marvel. With such potential, why not join the Holy Storm Organization? As long as you obtain the Flame Seal bestowed by Lord Yanyi, your strength will surely surpass the Sun-level and become a Legendary Knight not seen for hundreds of years!"

"Both Lord Yanyi and Lord Selandier have the intention to build their own kingdoms. By then, you will be able to sweep across this continent with Legendary power and, like the first Orland the Great, establish a vast empire!"

Luoning sneered; he did not expect that even at this point, the other party would still be trying to persuade him to join the Holy Storm Organization.

"It is truly regrettable that an old man like you would sacrifice your freedom and hand over your own life to be controlled by others!"

"You misunderstand."

Aruba shook his head, "Becoming a member of the Heavenly God Clan, my freedom and my life are all controlled by myself; Selandier cannot force us to do anything."

"Oh? Is that what they told you?"

Luoning knew the characteristics of these two races from Suofeiya.

It was true that whether it was the Heavenly God Clan or the Flame Seal Knights, they would not lose their original intent, nor would their lives be controlled by others; this point was completely different from the Witch Soul Clan.

But as long as they used those wings or activated the Flame Seal, they would be eroded by the power of the Demon God, and before long, they would become the other party's loyal servants.

"How about it?"

Aruba reached out his hand, making a gesture of invitation: "Join us, and we shall crown you as King!"

"Do you think I need such power?"

Wind Instant Step activated, and Luoning instantly appeared at Aruba's side, "Without any so-called Flame Seal, I can also become a Legend!"

Flowing Flame Sword Slash descended, and Aruba narrowly used Wind Instant Step to dodge it.

But Luoning's subsequent close-quarters rapid attacks completely suppressed him.

Sword light flashed and Battle Techniques collided; the battle between the two Blazing Sun Knights made the world hazy, and the surrounding houses and buildings collapsed in pieces.

Although Marquis Aruba was a veteran of a hundred battles, facing Luoning's storm-like offensive, he finally felt overwhelmed.

He tried to use words to distract Luoning, but Luoning's will was as firm as steel and remained completely unmoved.

Soon, in just about three or four rounds, Aruba was already covered in cuts and bruises.

"Luoning, do you really think you can fight against the entire Holy Storm Organization?"

Aruba panted, trying to find a moment to catch his breath.

Luoning sneered, his sword momentum not slowing, "I have never feared any organization, nor will I ever submit to any power. You who join such an organization are nothing but a bunch of wretches blinded by power who have abandoned their human identity!"

Aruba knew that if this dragged on any longer, he would die.

But he did not want to die.

"Escape!"

"As long as I escape back and let Lord Yanyi bestow the Flame Seal upon me, I will have the power to defeat Luoning!"

He channeled all his Battle Qi into his wings, and his speed soared to the extreme.

Luoning cast Wind Shadow Art, then instantly cast Rapid Art and Light Body Technique, while simultaneously using Wind Tentacle to interfere with the other party's movements.

"You are still too slow."

Luoning's voice sounded behind Aruba.

Immediately following, a cold sword Qi pierced through Aruba's chest.

A look of disbelief appeared on Marquis Aruba's face; he slowly turned around, looking at Luoning, his eyes full of unwillingness.

"You..."

Aruba said the curse with difficulty: "You will die, killed by Lord Yanyi!"

"At least you die before me."

Battle Qi erupted, directly shredding Aruba.

Luoning took a deep breath and glanced at the situation of Kaierluosi in the air.

The remaining Silver Moon-level and Meteor-level bird-men could not cause heavy damage to the dragon; as time passed, Kaierluosi had already eliminated most of them.

He leaped into the air; the battle on Ruidar's side was also nearing its end.

"Go to the West Gate."

He activated Wind Shadow Art and lunged straight toward the West Gate.

With Ruidar at the North Gate, there should be no trouble.

What he worried about most was the West Gate; whether it was Aierlong, Suofeiya, or Meilongnika, they were his own people. If Wulaer and Aruba had arranged heavy troops at the West Gate to target Suofeiya, his losses would be very heavy.

However, the other party did not seem to have any intention of attacking Suofeiya; there were no aliens at the West Gate.

By the time Luoning arrived, Aierlong, Suofeiya, and the others had already broken open the city gate and charged into the city.

"Go support the North Gate."

Luoning shouted in the air, and before his voice faded, he soared into the sky and sped toward the north.

At least five or six minutes had passed since he was trapped.

And it was precisely these five or six minutes that were the darkest moments in Jialete's life.

His Griffin Knight Squad was besieged by those flying knights and the enemy's Dragon Hawk Knights, falling from the sky one after another.

Just as he soared into the air, intending to slay a few enemies in the sky, three Silver Moon Knights came up and surrounded him tightly.

Fortunately, Youge came up to help, allowing him to avoid a serious injury, but precisely because of this, his strongest Knight, Youge, died in the air.

Scanning the entire battlefield, Gushan and Yiben were both locked in combat with Wulaer and the enemy's Silver Moon Knights, while Ruidar was entangled by the enemy's Blazing Sun Knight.

And what shocked him the most was that Viscount Willis of Black Jade Bay had actually been pierced through the chest!

Could this old Viscount, who held a pivotal position in the Kingdom, actually die on this battlefield?

Jialete was stunned for a moment.

If a Knight died, then they died, but if an old-line noble died on the battlefield because of his series of maneuvers, and if someone later found out that he had tampered with Bruno's orders, someone would definitely hold him accountable.

In the moment of his astonishment, a sharp longsword pierced his arm, and he was sent flying backward by the immense force of the impact.

"Don't kill him."

Someone reminded.

"Rest assured, I didn't pierce his heart."

The three opponents did not want to kill Jialete directly, and it was precisely because of this that the latter felt unprecedented strain and despair.

But just at this moment, his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of Luoning pausing slightly in the air, and a flame of hope instantly ignited in his heart.

As long as the predicament on Luoning's side was resolved, he would be saved.

It was just that what he did not expect was that Luoning only took one look at the battlefield here, and then actually flew away directly!

"Luoning!"

The despair in Jialete's heart turned into anger toward Luoning.

The other party could clearly have come to this battlefield to help him, so why did he fly away? (End of this chapter)
