Chapter 228 The End of a Hero
Hearing that arrogant laughter, Lin Fei felt a chill in his heart—oh no, could it be that his grandfather Su Lie had been defeated by that demonic master Leng Feng?
The Demon Master Leng Feng was once ranked second on the Dragon Ranking, a top expert who had never been defeated by anyone except for the Hidden Sword Elder, who was once ranked number one in the world.
Although Lin Fei was already prepared that his grandfather, Su Lie, might not be a match for that sorcerer, hearing that laughter still sent a chill down his spine, and he immediately stood up from the ground.
The figure falling from the sky crashed directly into the golden light barrier that stretched in front of everyone, shattering it into pieces.
"Could it be that Lord Shenwei has truly been defeated?"
"What should we do? Even Marquis Shenwei has been defeated. Does that mean our Southern Tang is doomed?"
"Don't panic, don't panic! We still have the Xuanyuan Sword in His Majesty's hands. We might not be finished!"
……
Upon hearing that laughter, all the ministers panicked—Marquis Shenwei was the strongest person in the capital, a top figure in the Celestial Realm. If even he was defeated, then who in the entire capital could defeat those evil heretics?
"Stop arguing!" Lin Fei shouted in a deep voice, silencing the ministers who were gossiping. "We don't know what's going on yet. Come with me and see for yourselves!"
Having said that, he took the lead and walked into the house.
All the ministers knew that Lin Fei was now the only choice to succeed to the throne and the future emperor of Southern Tang. Furthermore, they all admired Lin Fei's methods. When Lin Fei spoke, he already possessed the air of a future monarch. The ministers fell silent and followed him into the ruins of Xuanwu Street.
After everyone followed Lin Fei to Xuanwu Street, they discovered a man standing in the middle, head slightly bowed, like a lion standing still.
Lin Fei was all too familiar with this man's figure—it was none other than his maternal grandfather, Marquis Shenwei Su Lie.
At this moment, Su Lie stood upright in place, exuding an aura that made people dare not approach. Even Emperor Li Yu of Tang and the leaders of the eight evil sects retreated to the sides, not daring to get close to Su Lie.
Whether it was Emperor Li Yu of Tang, the leader of the Eight Evil Paths sect, or even Su Wuming and the others who remained at the end, everyone bore significant injuries. It seemed they had also been through a fierce battle. It was only because Su Lie suddenly descended from the sky that they stopped fighting and retreated to the sides.
The Xuanyuan Sword, which should have been in the hands of Emperor Li Yu of Tang, was nowhere to be found. This gave Lin Fei a vague sense of unease.
Upon seeing Lin Fei arrive with his ministers, Su Wuming stepped forward, pulled Lin Fei aside, and whispered in his ear, "Your Highness, this place is not safe to stay any longer. It would be best if Your Highness left as soon as possible."
Hearing Su Wuming's words, Lin Fei's unease intensified, and he couldn't help but ask, "Sir, is the situation dire?"
Su Wuming nodded solemnly: "Those demons, using some unknown method, extracted the Li family's dragon energy from the Second Prince and mixed it with a strange demonic energy. During the battle just now, that dragon energy mixed with demonic energy was injected into the Xuanyuan Sword, almost causing it to go out of control. His Majesty dares not use the Xuanyuan Sword anymore. If the old Marquis is also no match for that evil Taoist, I'm afraid things will really be dire."
It turns out that the reason Li Longqian suddenly went mad was not only because his mind had been stimulated, but also because the Li family's dragon energy had been extracted from him and mixed with demonic energy, affecting his will.
Unexpectedly, these unorthodox methods not only exploited Li Longqian, but also found a way to deal with the Xuanyuan Sword from Li Longqian.
While Emperor Li Yu of Tang could certainly unleash combat power comparable to that of a celestial being when wielding the Xuanyuan Sword, it's uncertain whether he would be able to gain any advantage against the leader of the Eight Evil Sects if the Xuanyuan Sword were unusable.
Furthermore, it seems even Marquis Shenwei, Su Lie, suffered a significant loss at the hands of the Demon Master. Given the current situation, Southern Tang is at a disadvantage in dealing with the Eight Evil Paths. That's why Su Wuming had Lin Fei leave ahead of time to ensure the Southern Tang royal family could retain its most outstanding young bloodline.
Lin Fei refused without even thinking, saying, "The situation is critical. As a prince of Southern Tang and a descendant of the Li family, how can I leave at this critical moment? Admiral Su, there's no need to discuss this further!"
Su Wuming said with a bitter expression, "Your Highness, this is also His Majesty's wish. You are exceptionally talented and have extraordinary abilities. As long as you can leave safely, our Southern Tang will surely be restored."
"Lord Su, I have already said that there is no need to discuss this matter further!" Lin Fei's face also darkened. As Su Lie's adopted son, Su Wuming was also Lin Fei's elder, and Lin Fei had never treated Su Wuming with such an attitude before: "If I leave at this time, how will I face the ancestors of Southern Tang and the heroes of the world? Let alone talk about reviving Southern Tang!"
Seeing Lin Fei's resolute expression, Su Wuming knew that further persuasion would be useless, so he could only sigh and stop trying to persuade him.
Just as Su Wuming and Lin Fei were talking, Su Lie, who had been motionless, suddenly trembled and raised his head.
"Cold Wind, do you think you can defeat me with your pathetic skills?" Su Lie roared, "Get out here and I'll fight you for three days and three nights!"
Su Lie's shout was like a bomb dropped on the ground, causing the earth beneath his feet to shake violently.
In particular, the sect leader of the evil sects was flushed and looked very uncomfortable after Su Lie's loud shout, with blood even spilling from the corner of his mouth.
A gentle breeze swept by, dispelling Su Lie's astonishing aura, and the Eight Sect Masters felt much better.
"Damn it, this old guy is really something!" Blood Blade Ancestor wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Su Lie warily, in case the old man suddenly attacked and killed him.
"The power of the celestial beings is terrifying!" The Yin-Yang Sect Master exclaimed. "However, it seems that Lord Su is already at his limit. Otherwise, we would not just be injured and coughing up blood."
That gentle breeze was created by the Demon Master's cold wind, which completely dissipated Su Lie's imposing aura. This also indirectly confirmed the Yin-Yang Sect Master's words—Divine Might Marquis Su Lie was no match for the Demon Master. At this moment, although the Divine Might Marquis still appeared mighty, he was probably at his last gasp, a final burst of energy before death.
As a gentle breeze blew by, the figure of the Demon Master Leng Feng appeared in mid-air, standing in the void.
