Chapter 723 (1/2)
“Let’s give it our all and try our best to deliver a heavy blow to this creature before the other one arrives. It’ll be much better if we have more time. Once the Ward of Darkness has been destroyed, don’t hesitate and quickly leave this place with the Spatial Teleportation Stone. While there’s life, there’s hope. It’ll be too late if we’re one step slower.”
Meng Xing was having contradictory feelings. Under the condition that the main component of the Spatial Teleportation Stone remained functional, it could simultaneously transport no more than ten living beings. Furthermore, they could only teleport within a certain range. Other than the few elders who would be abandoned, the faraway Zhou Weiqing had no chance of surviving as he was not within the Spatial Transportation Stone’s coverage.
Once the Ward of Darkness had been broken, unless Meng Xing and the Blackfiend Dragon rushed over immediately to get Zhou Weiqing within the stone’s coverage, he was bound to die.
However, if they were to do that, how would the people from the Mysterious Heavenly Palace deal with these strong opponents here? Even if they had five Heavenly Emperors among them, faced with two Heavenly God-tier Dreadfiend Sea Nagas would mean death for them as well!
The other Dreadfiend Sea Naga was getting closer. Although the wounds on his body were increasing every moment under the effect of the Ward of Darkness, there was no longer enough time for the Blackfiend Dragon and Meng Xing to deliver a vital blow to the creature. At that moment, the elders in the Mysterious Heavenly Palace who were casting spells had fear on their faces. However, the few Supreme Elders were in slightly better condition as they knew that they would not be abandoned upon the activation of the Spatial Transportation Stone. However, things were different for six normal elders. If someone were to be abandoned, the choices would be made among them! The instant change in mentality made the Ward of Darkness unstable for a moment.
Meng Xing was troubled. However, what she did not know was that there was someone else who was far more troubled than her.
What Meng Xing only had to consider was whether or not Zhou Weiqing should be saved. On the other hand, Zhou Wei Qing had a lot more to consider.
At the moment, he could already see the visitor approaching from afar. Amidst the vicious waves of the ocean, another Dreadfiend Sea Naga appeared in his line of sight. Compared to the previous Dreadfiend Sea Naga, this one was obviously much weaker. Its height was not more than eighty meters. However, even with the mere height of eighty meters, the fact that it was Heavenly God Tier remained the same. Even if it was just one step in the Heavenly God-tier, Heavenly Emperor Tiers were no match for it.
What to do? Zhou Weiqing was in a panic. Another Dreadfiend Sea Naga came. There was no doubt that it was another chance for him to obtain the Spatial Transportation Stone. However, even if he managed to obtain the Spatial Transportation Stone, would he be able to leave this place alive? Even if he succeeded in leaving alive, Meng Xing and the other people would be left for dead here!
At that very moment, Zhou Weiqing’s feelings were contradicting each other. What was even worse was that there was not much time for him to ponder about it.
As Zhou Weiqing inhaled deeply, he made up his mind. Even though he understood that the decision was somehow irrational, he knew very well that this was the only way for him to not have any regrets.
The huge pair of wings on his back flapped hard as six dark golden rays of light shone from his body. Propelled by the wings, his body flew towards the torrential ocean like a stream of light.
Simultaneously, Zhou Weiqing’s voice sounded at the direction of the Ward of Darkness.
“Meng Xing, hurry up and kill that Dreadfiend Sea Naga while I distract this one for you.”
Zhou Weiqing sounded calm and emotionally stable. However, when the Mysterious Heavenly Palace powerhouses heard his voice, everyone’s eyes went red, including Meng Xing.
A friend in need was a friend indeed. In their eyes, Zhou Weiqing was nothing more than a Heavenly Jewel Master with a cultivation base of six jewels! In the face of adversity, neither was he frightened nor did he selfishly escape. What he did was gather up his courage and flew towards the most dangerous direction. All so that he could buy them more time.
Zhou Weiqing’s voice had never been powerful. Before today, the elders might have treated him with the utmost respect. However, that was only in regards to his equipment consolidating abilities. But now their impression of Zhou Weiqing was different. Regardless of his cultivation, whether or not he would succeed in stopping the Dreadfiend Sea Naga would all be decided in an instant. His words at that time had managed to reignite the willpower of each and every one of the Mysterious Heavenly Palace powerhouses.
The few elders who had been overwhelmed by their fear and worries had regained their momentum instantly. If a mere Heavenly Jewel Master with a cultivation base at the Sixth Jewels could look death in the eyes as he charged forward to face the other Dreadfiend Sea Naga with all his might, what else was there for them to fear?
Meng Xing bit her lips. She, who had always been gentle and elegant, let out a hysterical shout, “Bastard, you better stay alive -” Her voice was loud, even sharp. However, she sounded tired at that moment.
A Heavenly Jewel Master at the Sixth Jewel cultivation base facing a Heavenly God-tier Dreadfiend Sea Naga directly. Would he still be able to return alive?
Meng Xing could not control the tears that flooded her eyes, and her heart was overwhelmed with foreign emotions.
