Chapter 536: None Shall Escape

~9 min read 1,688 words

The act of a Crown Prince murdering the King would naturally incite civil unrest and controversy, and could also lead to the legitimacy of the throne being questioned.

Originally, if Jialete could have downplayed the charge of patricide, or pinned it on an assassination by an enemy nation, he might have been able to inherit the throne with the support of nobles like Feilunsi and Andeliya.

Yet he chose Luoning as the target for framing, and the arrogance and haughtiness he displayed during this process offended quite a few ministers and nobles.

Coupled with the exposure of the patricide and his history of colluding with the alien races, many people in their hearts found this Crown Prince extremely disagreeable.

Of course, due to the constraints of the law, they were also accustomed to the ways of noble society and did not dare to rise up in rebellion.

However, if someone were to take the lead at this moment, they could still secretly support it.

The nobles and Knights who fled from the Jinyu Palace, whether they admitted it or not, basically all harbored such thoughts.

The Auduin Hall had already been destroyed, which in a sense also symbolized the decline of the royal family.

Luoning, leading Kaierluosi, faced the dozens of Transcendental beings including Selandier without much panic.

The battle was on the verge of breaking out.

"Luoning, do you know what I hate most about you?"

The disheveled Jialete roared in a low voice, and without waiting for Luoning to answer, he gritted his teeth and continued: "What I hate most is that you always have a relaxed, indifferent attitude on your face, as if everything is under your control!"

"Is that so?"

Luoning mocked: "I think it might be that your nerves are too sensitive and fragile, which is why you feel that anyone better than you is targeting you."

"Hahaha, Laoshaien, go to the Moon Shadow Palace and bring Blanche and Aierlong here!"

He looked at Luoning triumphantly: "I want to see if you will still be so calm and composed when you see your wife and followers die before your eyes!"

Selandier frowned slightly; Jialete had already lost his mind, did he still think Blanche was being held captive at this time?

Luoning whispered a reminder: "Why don't you guess, when my clone was fighting a great battle with you, was my true self watching the battle in the sky, or did I go somewhere else?"

Upon hearing this, Jialete glared, anger surging into his chest, and he could not help but cough violently.

He had meticulously planned for so many days to lure Blanche and Aierlong over, never expecting that in the end, it would all be for nothing as they were rescued by someone.

"I should have killed them directly!"

Luoning took a deep breath, his eyes turning cold: "Obstinate and unyielding!"

He erupted with his fastest speed, appearing at Jialete's side in a flash, and raised his hand with a sword.

Although Jialete blocked with his sword, Luoning's unreserved strength pressed his sword directly down onto his shoulder, and blood instantly stained his clothes.

Luoning followed up with a punch, sending Jialete flying.

In fact, as long as he was willing, he could take the other party's life at any time.

"Wind Envoys, form the array!"

Selandier gave a light shout, and the dozen or so Wind Envoys under her command spread their wings, scattering to the surroundings to surround Luoning, attempting to replicate the Trapping Kill Array of Aruba and the others from back at Mist City to trap Luoning within.

Although among these Wind Envoys there were seven or eight at the Meteor level, and two or three Silver Moon level ones who had activated Flame Seals and superimposed wings, Luoning had the experience from last time, so how could he still suffer a loss?

"Your speed is too slow!"

Before the formation could be completed, the Liuyan Sword brushed across the neck of one of the Wind Envoys, and Luoning jumped out of the encirclement with extreme speed, killing toward Selandier.

Seeing this, the latter used Wind Shadow Art to suddenly retreat backward while opening a Spell Scroll; cyan chains gushed out from the scroll, binding toward Luoning.

"Master, be careful, this is not ordinary Magic; I was trapped by this move yesterday," Kaierluosi reminded him in time.

Luoning focused his mind and raised his sword: "Vacuum Dimension Slash!"

The sharp sword light cut through the air, colliding head-on with the cyan chains with the power to Tear space.

The latter tried to entangle the Vacuum Dimension Slash, but suffered destructive damage the moment they touched, shattering into light spots and dissipating.

And the Vacuum Dimension Slash seemed to strike directly at Selandier's slender waist without any obstruction.

"Oh no!"

Selandier's expression changed drastically.

She had originally thought that Luoning only mastered the Legendary-level Clone Shadow Technique and had not mastered other killing moves, so they might be able to cope if they worked together.

"Vacuum Dimension Slash, a Legendary-level secret technique related to Wind Attribute and space attributes, how could you have mastered it so quickly!"

Her knowledge was comparable to Suofeiya's, but she was ultimately just a Grand Magus, and after using the Spell Scroll, she had absolutely no time to resist.

Splat!

The sharp light entered Selandier's body, then violently sliced through.

"Ah!"

Selandier let out a miserable cry, her entire body split in two from the waist, blood spraying across the sky.

"This..."

Feilunsi and the others showed expressions of horror.

Heaven knows, they had placed their hope of countering Luoning on Selandier; who would have thought that in just one encounter, the other party would be cut in two by Luoning.

"Run!"

Staying here any longer was purely courting death.

Feilunsi and Andeliya erupted with Battle Qi and fled in two different directions.

"Want to escape? It's not that easy!"

Luoning sneered, his figure traversing the battlefield like a ghost, instantly closing the distance with Andeliya.

"Heavy Strike Explosion!"

With a punch thrown out, the Sun-level Battle Technique carried powerful penetrating force as it smashed toward the opponent.

"Luoning, no!"

Andeliya roared, erupting with all his Battle Qi to form thick armor on his body surface, while a giant bear lunged out, wanting to block Luoning's attack.

Boom!

The two Battle Techniques collided, emitting a violent sound; the Heavy Strike Explosion punched directly through the giant bear, and dragging Along tail of flame, it pierced through Andeliya's armor and bored through his chest.

"Thirty-some years ago, you plotted to kill my uncle; the Wushan Family always avenges its grudges!"

Luoning's figure flashed, and he charged at Feilunsi once again.

Seeing Andeliya's body slowly collapse into a pool of blood, Feilunsi felt icy cold all over.

He had thought Luoning wouldn't dare to slaughter everyone, as the other party had been restraining himself from beginning to end.

Yet once the fight truly began, the other party had actually killed Andeliya in an instant.

This was a Duke, yet Luoning hadn't even blinked an eye.

"No, I cannot die, I don't want to die yet!"

Feilunsi's back shuddered violently, and then a pair of wings tore through his clothes and unfurled; his entire person transformed into a large bird and soared into the sky.

"So you have fallen as well!"

Luoning had originally intended to kill the other party directly, but he changed his mind when he saw these wings.

He pursued Feilunsi with the momentum of a Meteor, then struck the other party's back with a palm, swatting him from the sky toward the ground and smashing him into the ruins.

Kill!

Those Wind Envoys seemed to fear no death, all of them pouncing toward Luoning.

Luoning did not hesitate at all, relying on absolute speed and swift sword strikes to clear them out one by one.

Just while slaughtering, Luoning discovered that Selandier, who had been cut in two, was not dead.

The Storm Heart necklace in her hand had saved her life; this thing was somewhat similar to Mofisite's Witch Soul Bead, both being Sage Tier creations possessing extraordinary abilities.

At this moment, it was precisely by using the Storm Heart that Selandier was driving this group of people to become death squads, using their lives to stall for time.

"Luoning, I underestimated you."

Selandier's pale face was full of anger; although she hadn't died, half her body was gone, and it would take a very long time to recover.

"But next time, it won't be like this!"

A ray of light flashed, and Selandier's figure vanished from where she stood.

Luoning frowned, "Space teleportation Magic?"

He slashed out a sword beam, killing the enemies in front, then his Mental Power spread out in all directions like lightning, instantly covering a radius of a hundred miles.

Then he opened his eyes abruptly; he sensed a clear spatial fluctuation over eighty miles away to the southwest.

"Kaierluosi, I leave the rest of them to you."

Luoning shot into the sky, "Especially Jialete and Feilunsi, don't let them run!"

Although Kaierluosi was injured, Jialete and Feilunsi's injuries were even more severe, and Kaierluosi was fully capable of dealing with them.

"Rest assured, Master!"

Over eighty miles away, a very weak Selandier was teleported here.

"This Luoning is too strong; even the Yanyi in his prime would find it hard to be his match!"

She looked toward the direction of the Jinyu Palace with lingering fear.

"How did he grow so fast!"

If not for Luoning, the entire Aoerlante would have been theirs for the taking, but now the situation had completely changed.

"Although most of my body is gone, it can slowly be repaired under the healing power of the Storm Heart. The most important thing now is to recover Magic, hide my tracks, and go back first."

But just as she closed her eyes to meditate, she sensed a dangerous aura enveloping her.

Selandier looked up abruptly, and then her beautiful eyes widened into perfect circles.

Luoning appeared in the air in front of her, "A surprise? An accident?" (End of this chapter)
