Chương 258: Chapter 141 Hands in Pockets, Not Knowing Who the Opponent Is_1
"Not only that, the Star Crown Martial Spirit has the ability to weaken the opponent's strength and restrict their movements. With the balance of power shifting, it's uncertain if Qin Xiao can display his cultivation level as a Titled Douluo."
"Furthermore, we have more than twenty Soul Sage level powerhouses lying in ambush around us. This time, Qin Xiao will have no chance of escape."
The masked man known as the Fleet Admiral's eyes flashed with a cold murderous intent.
Then.
He turned to Liu Erlong and said coldly, "Since you've woken up, stop pretending."
"Who are you, exactly?"
Suddenly, the previously unconscious Liu Erlong slowly opened her eyes and stood up.
However, even such a simple action seemed to take a great deal of effort.
She was clearly severely injured.
"Who we are, I advise you'd better not know because the more you know, the more danger you're in," said the Fleet Admiral indifferently.
"Even if you don't tell me, I know you're from the Xingluo Empire."
"And it must be the Star Luo Emperor himself who sent you."
Although Liu Erlong's body was weak, her gaze was piercing, like a torch staring down the Fleet Admiral.
Liu Erlong had heard them talking about the Star Crown Martial Spirit. In her memory, even within the Xingluo Empire, the Star Crown was an extremely mysterious existence. Despite their low profile, they held a lofty status, and their influence was second only to the Star Luo Emperor and the Duke of Netherworld.
Such a powerful entity could only be mobilized by someone from the royal household, as far as she could imagine.
And considering what Zhao Wuji had said earlier — that Dai Mubai had indirectly died at Qin Xiao's hands — the truth couldn't be clearer: The Star Luo Emperor sought revenge for Dai Mubai.
Upon hearing this, a hint of admiration flashed through the Fleet Admiral's eyes. "I didn't expect someone as careless as you to be so astute. But you shouldn't have said that. I was planning to spare your life after I killed Qin Xiao, but now I can only offer you a quick death."
However, Liu Erlong's next words took the Fleet Admiral by surprise, "Have the guts to kill me now!"
"How dare you!"
"How can you be so insolent in front of the Fleet Admiral?"
Someone beside the Fleet Admiral immediately shouted angrily.
Some people even began to exhibit powerful soul power fluctuations.
They seemed ready to kill Liu Erlong without further discussion.
"Calm down."
Just then, the Fleet Admiral's voice sounded, halting everyone's actions. "If you kill her, it's exactly what she wants."
"But..."
Someone was not convinced.
They thought Liu Erlong was too arrogant and needed to be taught a lesson.
"Are you planning to disobey my orders?"
The Fleet Admiral's voice suddenly became icy cold.
Even against Soul Douluo level powerhouses, no one dared to meet the Fleet Admiral's gaze. "Your subordinate wouldn't dare!"
"Pfft, you call yourself Soul Douluo level powerhouses, too scared to even kill someone. How pathetic," said Liu Erlong, not intending to give up, as she triggered provocation mode. "Hey, are you even a man? I don't think so. I think you're just a coward without the balls."
Moreover, she became more and more indignant as she spoke, pointing at a muscular man, "And you, what are you still holding on for? Just hurry home and find a man to marry..."
After a long while.
Even though some people were holding back their temper, they couldn't help it anymore.
"Fleet Admiral, let me kill her. She's too infuriating, and my dignity has been insulted."
"No, Qin Xiao hasn't arrived yet; she can't die."
The Fleet Admiral's reply was just as resolute. "Use your soul power to block this woman's voice."
"Yes!"
As the voice fell, everyone went about their task, closing their eyes.
A typical 'out of sight, out of mind', they didn't even want to hear Liu Erlong's voice anymore.
"Hey, I said don't be like this..."
Liu Erlong's expression changed upon seeing this.
But no one paid attention to her anymore.
"Qin Xiao, oh Qin Xiao, you're a clever man. You shouldn't come for me, right?"
Liu Erlong couldn't help but pray in her heart.
Yet, at that moment, a figure appeared before the group.
"Boss, he's here."
What!
Qin Xiao had really come!
Liu Erlong's pupils dilated, her mind in turmoil.
Why had he come?
"Are you sure?" the Fleet Admiral asked with a frown.
The man in black nodded. "I'm certain, our people spotted him thirty li away—he is indeed coming alone."
The Fleet Admiral waved a big hand and exclaimed with approval, "Good, everyone get ready. Since he's come alone, we certainly don't want to disappoint him. Whatever it takes, we must capture him."
"Yes!"
Following the Fleet Admiral's command, four or five more figures concealed themselves.
"No, I can't let them succeed. I can't become a bargaining chip to threaten Qin Xiao!"
Determination flashed in Liu Erlong's eyes.
She glanced at a huge rock in front of her and rammed into it with all her might.
Without a doubt, she intended to end her life, to free Qin Xiao from this predicament.
Crack.
The next moment, the giant rock shattered under Liu Erlong's headlong charge.
In contrast, Liu Erlong was unhurt, aside from a dusty head.
That was to be expected.
Liu Erlong, being a possessor of Dragon-type Martial Spirit and having a body far stronger than that of an average Soul Master, not to mention her soul power had reached the Soul Saint level long ago. After years of soul power tempering, breaking rocks with her head wasn't difficult at all.
However, in her eagerness, she had forgotten this.
And was set on ending her life.
