Chapter 8-932: Volume 8 - Chapter 932: Boarding
“Qianye! I’ll never let you off!” Linken flew out of her airship and rushed toward the Martyr’s Palace .
The demonkin flagship was like a broken beehive, with a dense swarm of figures flying out from within . Compared to the massive airship, the demonkin were even smaller than bees . A group of experts who were evidently superior to their peers followed Linken in a bid to stop her . Fighting in the void was the role of heavenly monarchs and great dark monarchs . No matter how strong Linken was, she was still a long way from that rank, and it would be lucky if she could exert even two-thirds of her power in this environment .
However, Linken had moved at extreme speeds . Even in the void, she had moved hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye, leaving her other subordinates completely helpless . They had no choice but to return to what remained of the flagship . More importantly, there were at least hundreds of demonkin crew members on the airship . These weak members simply couldn’t survive in the void and would need to be brought into lifeboats . Now that the flagship had been severed, the number of survivors would depend on the assistance of these experts .
The infuriated Linken no longer cared about the fate of her subordinates . She charged for the Martyr’s Palace, intent on taking down Qianye to appease her hatred .
Even through the void, Linken moved like a bolt of lightning, arriving near the Martyr’s Palace in mere moments . There, she rushed for a massive defect on the side of its body but crashed into an invisible barrier ten meters away from the target . Caught off-guard by the strong pliable screen, Linken was actually flung backward from the impact .
She was surprised at first but soon overcome by joy . A ship with a protective shield was at least at the duke-grade . Even for her own ship, she wasn’t yet able to afford one due to insufficient savings . Qianye’s warship possessing one despite its massive size proved how priceless it was .
After a fruitless charge, Linken channeled her origin power to its fullest extent and charged at the Martyr’s Palace again in a cloud of demonic energy . However, Qianye had already sensed her presence at this point . Martyr’s Palace moved swiftly and lashed at Linken with its tail .
A lash of Earth Dragon’s tail was enough to heavily injure the demonkin flagship—its might could be considered peerless . Yet, Linken was also highly agile . She flashed away from the incoming tail and crashed forcibly into the defensive field, soon arriving atop the back of the Martyr’s Palace .
She hadn’t yet secured her footing when a radiance flickered before her eyes, and sharp sword energy pricked her skin . Qianye had decided to launch a preemptive attack instead of evading!
Linken was furious . Qianye’s cultivation was vastly inferior to her own, yet he dared to seek a fight proactively . This was blatant disdain .
Linkin raised her left arm and chopped down at the incoming sword . She was actually going against East Peak with her bare hands!
The sound of clashing metal rang out as the palm and sword came together . Soon afterward, an earth-shattering force spread out in all directions . This impact was enough to warp steel, but the Earth Dragon’s body remained entirely unharmed .
Linken staggered back . The force behind this blow was so far beyond her imagination that she could hardly endure it .
It was also surprising for Qianye that the demonkin’s left hand was intact . He glanced over at Linken’s arms and found that the skin color was a bit different from her neck and cheeks . Apparently, she was wearing a skin-colored glove .
Both parties became apprehensive after the singular exchange . Only at this point did Qianye have the time to size up this terrifying enemy .
Linken was taller than Qianye by half-a-head, and the inherent charm and elegance of the demonkin were fully expressed on her . Clad in a magnificent black uniform with gold embroideries, she was quite captivating despite her fury . The patterns on her collar and cuffs were not just beautiful; there was a type of origin array woven into them .
The most eye-catching part wasn’t just her face but those shockingly long legs of hers .
Linken launched the first move after a mere moment of confrontation . She raised her leg well above her head from ten meters away and swung down ferociously, forming a semilunar blade of demonic energy that arced toward Qianye .
Qianye evaded the demonic blade with a sidestep and arrived before Linken in a single step . East Peak swung out across her waist .
The two clashed and retreated several times within moments, their interweaving figures almost indistinguishable . Beads of blood shot out in all directions, bursting upon the Earth Dragon’s bones like sanguineous projectiles . There were specks of gold flickering within the blood, a clear sign that they belonged to Qianye .
However, the seemingly advantaged Linken suddenly unleashed a furious howl, breaking her lock with Qianye and glaring intently at him from a distance .
At this moment, Qianye was riddled with injuries, the longest of which extended from shoulder to waist . Although the injuries were merely flesh wounds, one could judge how powerful Linken’s attacks were considering his physical prowess .
Qianye paid no attention to the wounds on his body . He spun East Peak about and removed a sparkling earring from the blade; there was even a bead of blood hanging upon it .
Linken held onto her ear with a livid expression, almost spouting flames from her eyes . Her left earlobe was dripping with fresh blood, and the earring was nowhere to be seen .
“Too bad, I missed . ” Qianye was expressionless as he flicked the earring to the ground and stepped on it . A clear, cracking sound echoed from beneath his foot .
Linken was so angry that her voice was trembling . “You’re dead!”
Her silhouette flickered and appeared in front of Qianye, her right leg swinging down at his neck like a giant axe . A dark blade of demonic energy condensed upon her toes during this attack . The might of this kick was not inferior to a slash from East Peak, enough to remove Qianye’s head were it to connect .
Qianye made no move to evade this enraged kick . Instead, he raised East Peak and clashed firmly against Linken .
Another shockwave spread out in all directions . Linken’s body was badly jolted, making it difficult for her to launch a follow-up attack . Struck by the blade of demonic energy, Qianye took several steps backward with a new wound on his body . He almost seemed numb to the wounds on his body—it was as though the body wasn’t even his .
Qianye slid back over ten meters, where he thrust East Peak into the ground and finally stopped the inertia .
Linken didn’t even wait for the numbness to subside before she started giving chase . It was just that she hadn’t even taken the first step when she saw Qianye whip out two handguns and merge them into one .
Linken didn’t have time to think long . Her many years of combat instincts told her that she had to run away .
Yet she had only moved a hundred or so meters when an indefensible wave of might fell upon her . In the blink of an eye, she felt as though she were in the presence of the three lords of the Sacred Mountain . It was a fear born from the bottom of her heart, one that caused her momentum to freeze .
“Oh no!” Linken was shocked out of her wits . Demonic energy erupted profusely as she went all out, finally managing to overcome the imposing might and regaining her freedom .
At this moment, however, a pair of luminous wings unfurled behind Qianye . The handgun trembled as a bright feather suffused with an aura of destruction shot toward Linken .
She could no longer evade .
