Chương 166: Hopeless situation

"Send us away…" Hua Liuli bit her lip.

"What are your chances of success?" She asked.

"Not high. Maybe ten percent, it could be less, maybe five. I will try my best" Long Feng replied.

"And what are your chances of survival?" Hua Liuli asked with a soft tone, almost like she was speaking to herself. Long Feng remained silent for a while before he replied honestly.

"less than one percent" Hua Liuli's eye lashes fluttered and she closed her eyes.

"What can I do?" She asked quietly, not speaking about his survival chances again. Long Feng sighed.

"You don't have to do anything." As he said this, he stretched out his hand and a palm sized palace appeared above his palm.

"You only need to stay within this palace and receive them later. There are some people already living within though. You can explain the situation to them" Hua Liuli looked up at him.

"You are sending yourself to death and you want me to sit behind and do nothing about it? We're not trading lives" He noticed in surprise that tears had gathered in her eyes and were threatening to fall.

"You need to understand, Liuli. If I do this alone, there is a chance to save them and escape no matter how miniscule this chance is. But of you come with me, it will be next to impossible to escape. We will all be buried here today." Long Feng gently persuaded her. Finally, she didn't say anything, nor did she try to dissuade him again.

"Don't resist!" He said as he poured his inner energy into the origin spirit palace floating above his palm. Hua Liuli turned into a flash of light and vanished into the palace, appearing in a large hall. Long Feng finally relaxed a bit. The origin spirit sword appeared in his grasp and all the inner energy in his body slowly circulated. Outside the concealment formation, the Yin soldier had just finished absorbing the energies of two more Juniors and turned his gaze upon two more.

Coincidentally, one of those two happened to be Yan jian! Seeing the yin soldier look at him, Yan jian sighed and closed his eyes. Li Yue'er's expression changed as she tried to move but couldn't do anything after having her movements and everything completely restricted by the Yin soldier. At this moment…

"Hm?" The yin soldier paused. He just sensed a slight energy fluctuation from a corner which obviously belonged to a human. And yet, this aura wasn't coming from any of the prisoners and was instead coming from a corner in his territory. As Long Feng dispersed the concealment formation and stepped forward, his aura exploded like a volcano erupting. His black hair danced around as his eyes flashed with a cold light.

He took a step forward, using the movement technique void roc agility technique, instantly shooting forward at the limits of his speed. The void roc agility technique which was only a Yin grade martial skill, actually reached perfection at this moment. He was like a great roc spreading his wings. Of course, his speed was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the yin soldier. What really made him startled was the guts of this newcomer.

He dared to appear and attack even when he knew the great disparity in strength between them. Was this just foolishness or bravery? Everything happened too fast for anyone to react; from sudden the appearance of a young immature youth to his sudden attack of the Yin soldier. Yan jian and Li Yue'er were both dazed as they looked at this youth who seemed to be courting death in all rationale.

"Hehe! Interesting. Really interesting! In all my years of living in this world, this is the first time I'm witnessing such an idiotic act of bravery. Die for me boy!" The yin soldier laughed as he released his aura. Long Feng immediately felt like a huge stone was pressing down on his shoulders, but he didn't stop, only slowing down slightly. Demon concept! A billowing cloud of demon energy erupted from his dantian and formed a cloud of demon energy around him.

His speed instantly increased again with the support of the demon energy. But this was still worth nothing before the Yin soldier. Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. Even when Long Feng arrived before him, cloaked in demonic energy and thrust his sword at him, the yin soldier didn't react, only revealing a mocking smile filled with scorn on his face. At this moment, Long Feng's eyes flashed brilliantly.

His energy instantly strengthened past it's peak and spread to every part of this territory, bringing with it his emotionless voice.

"Three waves demon annihilation third wave, All annihilating demon Asura!" The thick demon energy condensed into a blurry figure behind Long Feng wielding what seemed to be a longsword. Immediately, his inner energy completely gushed out and flowed into this blurry figure. The figure became a little bit clearer but no facial features could be seen still.

"Not…enough" Long Feng muttered with a strained voice. He gritted his teeth and forcefully sucked every ounce of energy within his dantian. This intense and even crazy overdrawing of his inner energy caused his aura to become chaotic and his cultivation actually fell down to the rank one yang level! The blurry figure barely stabilized at this point. Next, his soul power completely rushed out and merged with the blurry figure, making it a little more clear. The facial features were already becoming clear.

"Still... not enough!" Long Feng's eyes were bloodshot and his head was pounding with pain due to overdrawing his soul power. His soul world was already in a mess. Next, he turned his blood essense! More energy merged with the blurry figure and it finally became clear enough. Pitch black hair, star like eyes, a sharp face which looked like it was carved by a divine sword… the figure actually looked exactly like long Feng!, A much larger version of him. And it was holding a sword in it's hand.

Standing there, it gave off an inestimable majesty. It replicated Long Feng's movements and thrust the large sword in it's grasp out like a divine god's judgement.

"This boy…" the yin soldier frowned.

"let me end this and show you the disparity between us!" He used ten percent of his energy and slowly threw out a palm. In front of this palm, the world fell silent. Everyone felt a great pressure on them and the weaker humans and yin ghosts spat blood and fainted. Looking at this palm strike, Long Feng had the same feeling as though he was looking at a mountain. He smiled self mockingly.

"I underestimated him. This… is still not enough!" This time, he burned a part of his life source. He had been forced to use everything he had, even to the point of burning his own life source! The sword and the palm finally collided. The demon energy was swallowed up by the palm strike and the phantom behind Long Feng immediately shattered while he was sent flying backwards, spitting up mouthfuls of blood, a clear deep indent on his chest.

He was already seeing things in three places and he was just a hair's breath away from fainting. The yin soldier was about to step forward and grab this foolish kid, when he suddenly felt something. Looking behind, he saw a large palace appear out of nowhere. The palace doors opened and sucked in many humans, including the extremely beautiful lady whom he had kept aside for later tonight. Then the palace turned into a streak of light and shot straight towards the cave entrance which led back above ground.

Again, everything happened before anyone could react and the palace was already about to escape.

"What the hell do you take this king for? Get back here!" The yin soldier shouted, feeling extremely angry. His complete aura burst out of his body, quickly covering this entire underground city and sending everyone and everything around him flying away. An unbearable pressure descended upon the land and even the origin spirit palace which was about to escape was immediately suppressed and it fell to the floor.

On the floor, Long Feng who was using the final sliver of his conciousness to control the origin spirit palace immediately felt that his plan had failed. He sighed. He was supposed to control the palace to quickly suck in Yan jian and Li Yue'er, and he ended up sucking in other people into the palace in the process before he sent it away, only for it to be intercepted. The plan has failed. Now, he could only hope that his last card would succeed, otherwise, all hope was lost for them.

The origin spirit palace was forcefully brought back to the square by the Yin soldier's aura. Staring at the large palace before him, he gave Long Feng a cold glare overflowing with killing intent, then he slammed his palm at the palace doors.

"Open for this king!" The palace shook and many of the formations arranged in it's core immediately shattered. Long Feng's soul was connected to the palace and so, he also suffered the backlash. Boom! The yin soldier threw a second Palm at the palace, directly shattering the palace doors and revealing the inside of the palace. Pu! Long Feng spat out a mouthful of blood as the aura of the origin spirit palace dropped from the spirit rank armament to the half spirit rank. The palace had fallen down it's rank!

Inside the palace, hundreds of people of different ages with varying cultivations stood with stunned expressions.

"Hehehehe! You even have more humans for me in your palace. Even though their cultivations are weak, it is not a problem at all!" The yin soldier laughed. Long Feng felt bad for dragging his Long clansmen into this dangerous situation. He shouldn't have been moving with them in his palace. Now, they were also in danger with him.

"Brother Long Feng!"

"Feng'er!"

"Long Feng!" Yan jian, Hua Liuli, Li Yue'er, Long Feng's father Long Yuan and even his grandfather, the old clan chief of the Long clan, all of them and some others ran over to Long Feng's side.

"What have you done to yourself?" Long Yuan was the first to speak as he supported long Feng and poured as many pills as he could find into his mouth. Long Feng was currently in an extremely frail situation. He had overdrawn his inner energy and soul power, after which he burned his blood essense and his life source, then he took the brunt of the Yin soldier's palm strike head on. It was a miracle that he was still concious at the moment.

"I'm sorry. I've put you all in danger" long Feng sighed, ignoring his condition.

"Nonsense! All of this happened because you tried to rescue us even with your life at risk. I should be the one apologizing" Yan jian immediately refuted. Before anyone could speak again, the powerful aura of the yin soldier descended upon them, freezing them where they stood. They could do nothing but look on as the yin soldier approached step by step and grabbed Long Feng by his neck, lifting him up.

"Kid, in all my hundreds of years of life, no one has ever fooled me as much as you did. You should be proud of yourself. I must say that I truly admire your bravery. As a sign of my respect, I will grant you a swift death" As he spoke, Long Feng felt all his dantian shake. He felt like something important to him had been stripped away, filling him with sorrow as his cultivation began to flow out of his dantian and into the yin soldier through his palm.

In a few breaths, Long Feng's aura deflated and fell straight back to the peak of the yin realm! Long Feng closed his eyes as his cultivation continues to be stripped away. Even at this point, you still refuse to help… In truth, he had considered various aspects thoroughly before he decided on this risky plan and that was also not without a reason. He wasn't so foolish as to send himself to a situation of certain death without something he could rely on.

And that something was exactly the god-like being who resided within his dantian, Wu Kong. As long as his arm flinging shopkeeper of a master; Wu Kong, was willing to help out, then forget this mere peak imperial level yin soldier, probably even the four dynasties would be razed down to the last dogs and chickens with a simple thought. But Wu Kong had never bothered to help regardless of what danger Long Feng was facing.

It felt more like it was beneath him to act against anyone within this Lower realm, he disdained to do so.

"Damn that unreliable guy, I shouldn't have taken him as my master at all." Long Feng thought. This time, he was really in a hopeless situation. His aura became unstable once more; his cultivation was about to fall by a level once more! But right then, the yin soldier suddenly felt a great sense of danger. It was like a sword was hanging right on his neck and would behead him the next moment. In this dire situation, he flung Long Feng away and retreated from where he was standing in a fluster.

As everyone was confused as to why the high and mighty yin soldier suddenly retreated in a panic, an old voice sounded right in everyone's minds, including the yin soldier like the speaker was right beside them, but was actually nowhere to be seen.

"Your reaction is quite fast. Unfortunately for you, this old man has prepared for that as well."
