IW 84 - Desperate

“Queen Chu, do you think you can keep us away from the Capital of Chudong? You are truly naive just like Queen Chu before!” Shi Mubai's body regenerated rapidly before disappearing from Chu Xiulan's sight.

A punch filled with lightning energy blared in the sky, Chu Xiulan exerted a deep power on his right palm and repelled the blow.

“As the man who leads this country, I will not let him!” Chu Xiulan flicked his finger, instantly hundreds of thorny roots chased after Shi Mubai's body.

“This time we'll kill you! We have learned of your weakness, Queen Chu!” Shi Mubai spewed huge cloud-shaped flames towards the settlement from above the clouds.

“Try to protect them-” Not yet had Shi Mubai finished speaking, a sword slash almost cut his neck.

“I forgot your whereabouts, damn youth!” Shi Mubai breathed a sigh of relief from successfully dodging Ling Zhen's sword slash, this reaction made Chu Xiulan frown.

‘This reaction? Looks like the weakness we've been looking for is..’ Chu Xiulan stared intently at Shi Mubai before moving swiftly towards the bottom.

Before the cloud-shaped burst of flames hit the settlement of the residents, Chu Xiulan manipulated the aura of his body to control the plants.

The plants began to grow and form a dome, then Chu Xiulan flicked his finger as soon as the Thunder Eagle and Golden Ape held back that cloud-shaped burst of fire.

The Golden Ape that stood on the back of the Thunder Eagle played a golden stick, while the Thunder Eagle opened its mouth and spouted lightning balls.

And the thing that Chu Xiulan feared the most was actually happening because after all he did not want the innocent residents to be the victims of this attack. But as a peach tree near the city gate rose, Chu Xiulan frowned and immediately released a huge amount of his bodily aura.

“How is it possible? I've hidden them all in my illusion!” Chu Xiulan's eyes widened to see hundreds of dead residents being hit by the sharp wind from the mouth of a handsome man.

The handsome man was none other than the leader of the Demon Worshiping Sect named Tang Mu or better known as the Demon King.

“Tang Mu!” Chu Xiulan was filled with emotions and attacked Tang Mu blindly.

Tang Mu smirked, “With hundreds of noble families plus these residents then a thousand lives have been killed and they will I dedicate to the Demon Spirit of the Hell Spider!”

Just as Chu Xiulan was about to release the two sites filled with deep energy, Tang Mu smiled widely before exhaling a breeze from his mouth.

A fierce sharp wind cut through the building and as it nearly touched Chu Xiulan's hand, the sharp wind cut the body of the Thunder Eagle into two pieces.

“Queen! Don't be rash! He won't be able to beat you so easily!” The Golden Ape reprimanded Chu Xiulan and stared at the death of the Thunder Eagle.

Tang Mu laughed at the death of the Thunder Eagle, “I didn't expect it to be like this. An interesting drama as the warriors of the Night Goddess Clan try to obtain the Sky Spear.”

Tang Mu took out a bright white spear from the Space Ring then turned it around, “Queen Chu, tonight we will complete the ambition to rule over the Chu Empire. If this country submits to me, then the chaos in the other two empires will be easier.”

“I won't let it! I will protect the residents even if I have to sacrifice my own life!” Chu Xiulan moved the roots of the trees to bind Tang Mu's body, but the roots were always cut off as Tang Mu exhaled a sharp wind from his mouth.

“What naive! You are like the Goddess of War when fighting without protecting someone, but tonight you are so weak, Chu Xiulan!” Tang Mu moved quickly and unleashed a single blow that heavily hit Chu Xiulan's stomach.

Then Tang Mu played his white spear and intended to stab Chu Xiulan in the stomach.

The Golden Ape also played its staff and fended off the next attack from Tang Mu.

“Mubai! The zi! It's time we start the ritual of summoning the Demon Spirit of Hell Spiders!” Suddenly Tang Mu shouted out loudly before exhaling a sharp wind from his mouth that shattered the Golden Ape's body.

Chu Xiulan leaped and dodged that sharp wind. The devastating explosion and the crushed power from Tang Mu's breath alone had already caused great damage.

Realizing that he was unable to fight to the maximum made Chu Xiulan annoyed. Behind him were thousands of terrified residents of the capital Chudong.

“You all calm down, I will protect you!” Chu Xiulan looked at the population that numbered in the thousands and smiled.

“Queen, don't force yourself! Let us help you escape!”

“Queen, you have to stay alive!”

A number of residents ran towards Chu Xiulan with tears streaming down their faces.

“Stay behind me!” Chu Xiulan shouted and formed an aura protector that protected the bodies of the residents using his entire body aura.

Chu Xiulan left her inner strength to put up a fight on the three representatives of the Demon Worshipping Sect, but when Chu Xiulan intended to attack Tang Mu, she was startled by Yue Rou who was lying beside her.

“Queen, are you suicidal? Then let the inhabitants be slaughtered after you die?!” Yue Rou shouted to Chu Xiulan because the woman she admired looked so desperate.

Chu Xiulan smiled wryly, “I will not commit suicide-”

A loud slap struck Chu Xiulan's cheek along with the two fallen Yue Rou swords.

“Queen! Can't you share your feelings with me?! I know it hurts a lot, but you can't forever blame the past for not being able to protect your Mother!” Yue Rou shed tears looking at Chu Xiulan like this.

The burden that Chu Xiulan was bearing was extremely heavy and the woman had never complained before Yue Rou.

“Sial, I have reached my limit..” Ling Zhen bit his lower lip to the point of bleeding and felt the greatest annoyance in his heart, “Being weak was extremely painful. Though the man who slaughtered my family was in front of me, but I could do nothing.”.

Ling Zhen with all the burdens and regrets he had again stood up to once more, then looked at Chu Xiulan and Yue Rou who looked to have calmed each other down.

“What a sad drama.” Lin Zi laughed and put his hands together.

“Fucking young man, I intend to kill you. But it seems you've been on the brink of your abilities. I'm not interested in the weak and you deserve to be the food of Hell's Spiders.” Then Shi Mubai fused his hands together followed by Tang Mu who smiled widely.

“Devil Spirit Summoning Technique — Hell Spiders!” Tang Mu dripped blood from his thumb before staring at the flaming red-colored light that was widening in the middle of the Chudong Capital.

While on the other hand Ling Zhen smiled faintly and looked at Chu Xiulan and Yue Rou, “You both protect the residents there and take care of the spider. I'll fight the three of them.”

Then Ling Zhen turned his gaze to look at the Hell Spiders that appeared instantly with their massive form even exceeding the mountain.

“Zhen Siege, what do you want to do-”

“Rouber, I am too weak that you doubt me and cannot depend on me. But for tonight look and allow me to prove to you both, if I deserve to be your leaning spot.” Ling Zhen smiled meaningfully towards Yue Rou and Chu Xiulan.

After the form of Hell Spiders came out completely, Ling Zhen closed his eyes and entered into his subconscious.

The figure of the Death God Spirit Curse grinned looking at him.

“What does a human need? Isn't it time you ran away?” The Death God Spirit Curse mocked the helpless Ling Zhen.

“Give me your strength! I-”

“Wait! You think you can kill them all if I give you strength?!” The Death God Spirit Curse cut off Ling Zhen's words before explaining Ling Zhen's body condition that was on the verge of boundary.

Other than not being in the condition of the God's Eye Mark anymore, it was certain that Ling Zhen would be crippled if he used the God's Eye Mark forcibly once again.

“I don't mind.” Ling Zhen replied after hearing the explanation of the Death God Spirit Curse about the condition of his body.

“You're interesting but very rash, man.” Then the Death God Spirit Curse flowed an aura on Ling Zhen's body.

“Let me take over your body. I'll make sure one of those three people dies and of course I'll kill that underworld creature.” The Curse of the Death God Spirit offered.

Ling Zhen thought for a moment before responding, “Can't you kill those three people?”

“It could be but if I overuse my powers, then you are the one affected. Not just paralyzed, you'll die.” The curse of the Death God Spirit explained.

“Do as you please. As long as it could save them, it was enough.” Ling Zhen clenched both of his hands tightly.

The Death God Spirit Curse extended its hand to Ling Zhen.

“What's up?” Ling Zhen who saw the Death God Spirit Curse reached out to him in confusion.

“Shake hands. Quickly do, are you stupid?” The curse of the Death God Spirit looked annoyed.

Ling Zhen sighed lightly and shook hands with the Death God Spirit Curse.

A wisp of pitch-black aura spread around him along with the form of the Death God Spirit Curse disappearing.

Ling Zhen fell asleep in his subconscious and was unaware when the Death God Spirit Curse took over his body.

On returning, the Death God Spirit Curse that was within Ling Zhen's body rang his neck while looking at his surroundings.

“Man, look at this mess you've made.” Ling Zhen spoke and looked coldly at his surroundings.

Both of his eyes were pitch-black. And the one who first noticed Ling Zhen's change was Yue Rou and Chu Xiulan.

“Zhen?” Both Yue Rou and Chu Xiulan could feel the deadly aura emanating from Ling Zhen's body, even the plants and roots of the trees belonging to Chu Xiulan withered when they were near Ling Zhen.

‘Dewa Eye Sign.’ In Ling Zhen's heart was deeply entrenched.

“So between the three of you who wants to die first?” Then Ling Zhen spoke out loudly before smilingly staring towards Tang Mu, Shi Mubai and Lin Zi.
