Chapter 323: Chapter 322: Trapped in a Desperate Situation
The Dong Witch Queen looked at Ah Zhu and said coldly, "Mo Dianwu abandoned you for the sake of the Mo Sect. For the sake of the Witch Clan, why wouldn’t I abandon you? Therefore, I was not wrong!"
"You weren’t wrong, but the Witch Clan’s base will be annihilated today!" Ah Zhu retorted, her voice just as cold.
At that mont, Ye Fan spoke up. "I have no grudge against you. Why did you poison us?"
"Hmph! You think I don’t know that the whole ’heir’ business was a conspiracy between you and her? If I don’t kill you, you’ll surely kill !" Ah Zhu said coldly. "Furthermore, you are the pillar the Witch Clan relies on most, so I had to render you unable to fight!"
The Dong Witch Queen sighed. "When I was about to kill you to keep you from leaking information, he stopped . He told
that after this battle, he would let you go free to live in a bustling city. How could he possibly harm you?"
"Shut up, you old hag!" Ah Zhu shouted.
Her mind flashed back to the words Ye Fan had spoken while they were drinking that night.
"Little sister, you’re beautiful and full of vitality. You shouldn’t be confined to a life in these barren mountains. I’ll have a word with the Dong Witch Queen, and then you can leave this place and live the life you desire.
"Go pursue love, enjoy life!"
She never expected Ye Fan to actually follow through on his promise. At this mont, her heart was in turmoil. What Ye Fan had said was exactly what she had always dread of. She wanted to leave these deep mountains, live in a bustling city, and pursue love. But as a disciple of the Dong Witch Queen in the Witch Clan, she didn’t have that freedom. Years of accumulated resentnt had festered, leading to her rebellion today.
Still, she couldn’t accept the reality of a complete stranger being so kind to her. She was utterly unprepared for it, but now, it was too late for regrets.
Just then, Mo Dianwu said to Ah Zhu, "My good daughter, you’ve earned the highest rit in the extermination of the Witch Clan. The Mo Sect will rember this favor!
"Those who achieve great things can’t be bothered with trivial matters. Step back and leave the rest to !"
Ah Zhu glanced at the suffering Ye Fan and pleaded, "Father, can you spare him?"
"What? Spare him?" Mo Dianwu demanded. "He is the sworn enemy of the Mo Sect! Why should I spare him? I’m going to kill him now!"
As he spoke, a black, venomous aura erupted from his body, and he charged toward Ye Fan.
But at that mont, Ah Zhu suddenly dropped to her knees.
"Ah Zhu, what are you doing?" Mo Dianwu demanded.
"Father, he’s the first man who has ever been kind to ," Ah Zhu said. "I beg you, please spare him!"
"Nonsense!" Mo Dianwu imdiately rebuked her. "How many n in this world are truly sincere? He’s only nice to you because he’s infatuated with your beauty!"
"Father, I’m begging you!" Ah Zhu knelt again.
"Enough!" He shoved Ah Zhu aside and stalked toward Ye Fan. He had to kill Ye Fan now, otherwise, it would be troubleso if Ye Fan managed to use his energy to expel the poison.
Emperor-level Masters generally had a strong resistance to poisons. While the Mo Sect’s toxins were vicious, an Emperor-level Master could recover if not killed by the initial strike.
Ye Fan was unwilling to accept his fate, but he seed powerless to change it. With his palms behind his back, he gathered the last wisp of his True Qi.
It seems this is my last chance. Ye Fan’s heart hardened, and he suddenly roared, "Pure Yang Power!"
A dense, scorching wave of True Qi imdiately rushed toward Mo Dianwu. However, Mo Dianwu shattered the attack with a single palm strike. When he looked again, he found that Ye Fan and the Witch Clan Martial Artists had vanished in an instant.
Mo Dianwu said coldly, "You think you can escape? You don’t have a chance!"
Ah Zhu hadn’t expected them to have such a trick up their sleeve, but her heart flooded with relief when she saw Ye Fan get away.
"Search!" Mo Dianwu commanded.
anwhile, inside the Witch Clan’s secret underground tunnel, Ye Fan finally collapsed. He fell to one knee, unable to suppress the Black Fog any longer, and even spat out a mouthful of black blood.
"Brother Ye!"
"King of Heaven!"
They all cried out in concern.
The Dong Witch Queen was filled with self-bla. The utter defeat of the Witch Clan this ti was entirely her responsibility. If she and the other leaders hadn’t prepared a secret escape route in advance, they would have been completely wiped out.
"This tunnel won’t fool them for long," Ye Fan said weakly. "You should all go. Escape now!"
The leaders of the major Witch Clan tribes were indeed tempted, but at that mont, the Dong Witch Queen said, "I have always been too selfish, and that is what led to today’s disaster. This ti, whether they manage to kill us or not, I will not abandon you!"
Hearing her words, the leaders’ fleeting temptation was instantly extinguished. "We won’t abandon you either!" they declared.
They helped Ye Fan up and continued through the dark tunnel. The once all-powerful Witch Clan and the King of Heaven were now forced to scurry away like rats. It just went to show how badly they had all miscalculated.
After walking for so ti, they saw a light ahead. Elated, they quickened their pace. Finally, they erged from the underground passage into a gorge.
"Once we cross this gorge, they won’t be able to find us even if they catch up!" the Dong Witch Queen said.
"That’s right! Ahead is the dense forest maze we know so well!" the North Witch Leader said joyfully. They were extrely familiar with this area. Once they were through it, the Mo Sect would have a hard ti pursuing them.
However, just then, Ye Fan said, "There’s movent!"
"On guard!"
The group of Witch Clan Martial Artists imdiately prepared for battle.
"South Witch Queen, North Witch King, I trust you are both well?" a sinister, smug laugh echoed from the dense forest ahead.
The Witch Clan leaders with Ye Fan were instantly stunned. Soon, a contingent of Witch Clan Martial Artists appeared ahead. At their lead were two figures: the Black Witch Leader and the White Witch Leader. As the two great traitors of the Witch Clan, they had been lying in wait to intercept Ye Fan and his group.
The West Witch Leader shouted, "You two traitors! Get out of our way, or don’t bla us for what happens next!"
At these words, the North Witch Leader, Liao Witch Leader, South Witch Queen, and West Witch Leader all glared furiously at the two n. But the Black and White Witch Leaders showed no fear, their faces twisted in arrogant smiles.
The White Witch Leader said with disdain, "Do you really think you still have any fight left in you? You’re mistaken."
The South Witch Queen was about to make a move and try to break through. At that very mont, however, a commotion arose behind them. Mo Dianwu and his Mo Sect Martial Artists had already caught up.
Surrounded from the front and back, they were trapped in the gorge, a desperate situation.
Ye Fan’s brow furrowed. It looks like there’s truly no escape this ti.
