Chapter 478
"Too bad I could not eat properly unless we have the seal fully open," Concubine Li stated as she runs her tongue on her upper lip. "So let us do it my way now."
Hissing under her breath, Gao Lan Mei asked, "What do you want?"
"I want you to utter the last hidden rule. You are smart enough to know that it is a spell, right?"
Gao Lan Mei burst out laughing, "Why would I do that if I will just die after?!"
She was still feeling weak. Her neck hurt and there was a fit of uncontrollable anger in her heart that even confused Gao Lan Mei. Her fury was fueling her desire to finish off all the enemies regardless of what happened to her.
It was a given that they were all going to kill them eventually. Since that was the case, why bother worrying about their lives?
Gao Lan Mei could not accept that her decision was controlled.
"Now, now. You don't have any other choice. It's either you start chanting, or they all die." Concubine Li said casually. The Impurities were getting denser, and it was suffocating even for her.
'No choice?' Gao Lan Mei thought as she smirked. 'Is dying with you all, not a choice?'
Concubine Li scowled at her before she smiled evilly, "The sooner you do what we want, the sooner their pain will be over."
"The third and final rule, all creations…" She paused and gathered the Impurities around her to Devour.
"You are ending your life without even knowing it." Fa Liwei whispered warningly behind her, completely seeing her intention.
Gao Lan Mei snorted, "Let's see about-"
"Enough!" Concubine Li interrupted as she sliced the Impurities around Gao Lan Mei using her spear. The black smoke scattered and devouring them would be impossible.
At that moment, Gao Lan Mei heard Sung Zhi Ruo screaming in pain. She also listened to the beings within the firewall screaming and there seemed to be a fight within it.
However, before she could glance at her family and friends, Concubine Li grabbed Gao Lan Mei by the jaw roughly, "Woman, you just need
Her jaw hurt, and Gao Lan Mei wanted to s.h.i.+ft her gaze away from Concubine Li's face. Especially from the woman's lifeless eyes that seemed to compel her to utter the rest of the sentence.
Concubine Li's face had specks of blood running down from her wounds. She looked to be dead; if not for her eyes being open and her mouth speaking, one would have thought that she was just a dead being possessed as a puppet.
She also noticed the saliva coming out of the woman's mouth. Concubine Li seemed to be breathing heavily as well.
Gao Lan Mei knew that the spirit was only possessing Concubine Li's body. The signs of weakening magic were already evident on her face alone.
If this were the case, there would be a low chance of negotiation. There wouldn't be enough time to formulate a plan.
All Gao Lan Mei could do was close her eyes and bite her lip till it bleeds. She could have bitten her tongue but she was concerned that she wouldn't be able to utter a spell if needed later.
"Look at me!" Concubine Li screamed, and Gao Lan Mei felt the dominating power from the woman, so she had no choice but to open her eyes.
Gao Lan Mei glared at the woman with murderous intent as she fought the unwelcome control on her body.
"Speak!"
'Rumble!'
Just as she said that the whole place shook as a very strong spiritual pressure was felt near them. It was so heavy that Gao Lan Mei needed to steady herself before her knees gave out on her.
Concubine Li's eyes widened before she stepped away from Gao Lan Mei and looked at Wei Jiayi's direction.
Lightings were forming from within the Impurities she used to surround him.
Her eyes narrowed before Concubine Li put her hands together. The Impurities surrounding Wei Jiayi had solidified like a wall. Four corners seemed to get smaller by the second.
The wall also stopped caging the heavy pressure from Wei Jiayi as well as the thunder.
"He will die painfully. Continue speaking the final rule now so that he can have an easier death." Fa Liwei said.
'Slice!'
'Slam!'
Just as he said that Fa Liwei was suddenly stabbed from behind by a spear. With his defensive magic, it did not penetrate deep enough.
Yet, the attacker did not care, as the spear immediately sliced upward. Using the sharp tip of the spear, the attacker slice upwards.
"Tsk." Fa Liwei groaned in annoyance as he used his magic to stop the spear from moving further. Since he will not die, he understood immediately what was the aim of the attack and he could not let the woman continue as it will cause further delay.
However, before he could even retaliate, while still holding Gao Lan Mei, he was kicked sideways.
Gao Lan Mei's rescue is a woman who has tattered armor because of her earlier fights. The wounds that were currently healing meant that it was not easy for her to move around the Impurities.
"I am not late." Xiao s.h.i.+ said confidently as she stood behind Gao Lan Mei like a guard. She was holding in her hand, a storage ring.
Fa Liwei frowned at Xiao s.h.i.+. He was the previous owner of the Soul Eater and it was supposed to be stabbed on Xiao s.h.i.+'s body.
