Towards Eternity
Ch 638's. Pursuit
On top of the ruins of the city that had been destroyed by the army of ferocious beasts, Lin Mei stood on the back of a giant eagle and looked at the condition of the city that had been flattened to the ground.
There were only a few human corpses scattered in the city. Most of the population had long since been displaced long before the arrival of the beasts.
The average who still remained in the city were those who worked under the orders of the Ying Family and were not allowed to leave the city.
Lin Mei blinked. He then turned his head in one direction, where he could see a hazy shadow in the distance. The shadow was none other than the mayor of the city that had been destroyed by the beasts.
"A leader who runs away from his responsibilities and lets his subordinates die for his own safety is not worthy of being a leader. Your subordinates are dead, and yet you're alive. Isn't that unfair?"
Hearing Lin Mei's words, the eagle under Lin Mei's feet responded by letting out a shrill voice. He seemed to understand what Lin Mei was saying. With a flutter, he immediately darted towards where the fat mayor was flying with his wives.
"O Phoenix, will you allow me to kill him myself?" ask the eagle when the distance with the fat mayor is only a few kilometers away.
Lin Mei was silent for a moment, she stared at the mayor on top of the great sword. He was currently laughing loosely and playing around with his wives on the sword. It seemed like the deaths of his subordinates did not interfere with his feelings at all.
"Kill everyone, except that disgusting guy. You can cut off both his hands and feet so that he doesn't do unwanted things" Lin Mei said.
A shrill voice rang out from the eagle in response to Lin Mei.
The other fist of the eagle instantly cut a distance of several hundred meters forward. In the time it took to take three breaths, the entire distance of several kilometers was now only a few hundred meters left.
It was then that the soldiers who controlled the greatsword carrying the mayor immediately realized the arrival of the eagle. They looked back and saw the huge eagle whose body was five times larger than the great sword they were riding on.
The mayor also turned around and looked at the eagle. His face immediately turned to panic.
"E-Elang what is it?! How could he chase after us?!" His face was flashing with fear.
His Practical level was only at the 6th stage of Soul Cleansing realm. His status as mayor was entirely due to the interference of his family, making him less concerned with his level of practice. As long as he was within his family's territory, he could do anything he wanted without having to fear trouble coming to him.
But his arrogance was nowhere to be seen anymore at this moment. The only thing on his face was fear and panic.
"Hey?! What are you guys doing?! Increase speed immediately!! That eagle will be avenging us soon if you guys are this late!!" gerutu mayor.
"The sword can't go faster than this! We are all too heavy, which makes the speed of the sword limited!" One of the warriors who controlled the sword gave an answer to the fat mayor.
The mayor's face turned angry. "Did you just say that my big body makes us move slowly, huh?!"
The soldier looked irritated. At times like this he would not listen to any scolding from this disgusting person before him. He quickly restrained himself from hitting the pig in front of him, and gave an explanation that the small brain of the fat mayor could understand.
"It's not. What I'm about to say is, our passengers are too many so the sword can't fly fast." The soldier's eyes glowed coldly as he said so.
The fat mayor, surprisingly seemed to believe the words of the soldier. Even his angry face immediately changed for the better. His brain was much smaller than his large body.
"Why didn't you say that earlier?! Hey, yousa. Quickly jump down from the sword! You're making our journey a lot slower!"
Like a man of disobedience, the fat mayor grabbed the hair of one of his wives who was in half-naked condition. Just now the mayor was 'playing with him', yet now the mayor had ruthlessly told him to jump off the sword that was currently flying swiftly over the sky.
Their distance from the ground was at least five hundred meters. He who was merely a mid-tier 6 Foundation Martial Practitioner, would obviously die once he jumped up and landed on the ground.
"My gentlemen! Please! Let me stay here! I will serve you much better! I promise!" The nineteen-year-old girl cried while pleading.
She held onto her hair that was being grabbed by her husband and trembled in fear as her body was dragged towards the edge of the sword.
Without hesitation he immediately threw his wife out of the sword they were riding on. He threw it towards the eagle. The mayor hoped the eagle would chase after the girl so that it could give them some time to go further.
Unfortunately for them, the eagle was not interested at all. His eyes only looked at the girl for a brief moment before focusing himself in pursuit of the sword the mayor was wielding.
The eagle that Lin Mei rode on was not a mindless savage beast. With strength in the 9th stage of Soul Unification realm, he had a mind that was on par with humans in general, even much smarter because it had the instincts of a true eagle.
He knew the girl thrown by the mayor only had the strength of a tier 6 Foundation Ground. With such strength there was no way he could survive falling from their current height, so he simply ignored it.
Lin Mei on the other hand did not look at the girl at all. His focus was entirely on the fat mayor throwing the girl..
"I changed my mind. I want you to kill that fat bastard too, but in the most painful way you know. Don't make him die so easily." Lin Mei spoke coldly.
Screeching loudly, the eagle immediately increased its speed. Highlights of cold eyes emanated from both of his eyes as he opened his pointy and extremely sharp beak.
*SNAKE!!!*
In one katupan, the great sword that the mayor was riding on was instantly smashed into pieces and made everyone who climbed the sword fall.
The soldiers who were previously controlling the sword looked surprised. They coughed up blood in not small amounts. This was a counterattack from their Qi that was decided forcibly.
"Ohhhhh!!!! Help me!!!! Five of you! Hurry up and help me!!!!" The fat mayor screamed in fear.
He controlled his Qi to help his body float lightly in the air, but it was not very meaningful because of his huge body. The same thing happened when he tried to use his flying sword.
The five warriors who had just received a counterattack from the shattering of swords seemed dazed for a moment. They shook their heads and looked at the mayor who had fallen with them.
Quickly they took out their respective flying swords and stood on it. The five immediately caught the fat body of the mayor and made him float in the air with them.
The mayor's wives screamed and asked the mayor for help, but their screams were ignored, as if their screams were nothing but the chirping of a bird that was not important to him.
"Quick! We have to land on the ground! That eagle can attack us at any time!" mayor's orders.
The soldiers nodded in understanding, they were also thinking the same thing.
However, before they could carry out the mayor's orders, a glare of wind soon struck them. The wind was not an ordinary wind, but a slash of wind caused by the flapping of the eagle's wings.
The bodies of the five soldiers holding the mayor were instantly torn apart once the wind hit their bodies. They just died, while the mayor who was being held by his five slid back quickly onto the ground.
He gritted his teeth and immediately pulled out his soul saving treasure from within his rescue ring. It was a talisman inscribed on paper made from the skin of a ferocious beast that possessed power in the realm of Soul Unification stage 3. He spent a lot of money to buy this talisman from his ancestors.
The talisman he immediately destroyed and instantly a black cloud formed before him that transformed into a white snake dragon with a length of a hundred meters.
As soon as the figure of the mayor entered into the body of the snake dragon, the dragon immediately flew away as fast as the eagle that Lin Mei was riding.
*Kiiieeeekkkkk!!!!* Sharp screeches are thundering and about the serpent dragon.
The snake dragon incarnation that formed from the crew was shaking violently and its body was instantly scattered just like that in the air. The figure of the mayor looked scared to death seeing the talisman he had bought thousands of gold coins just crumbled away.
He coughed a mouthful of blood and his vision became blurry. What he saw before losing his consciousness was an eagle being ridden by a masked girl darting towards him and catching him in one of the eagle's claws
