Chapter 1274: The Final Battle (2)

The surprise attack that had been planned for a long time had finally succeeded. The spies that had pretended to serve faithfully had seized the best opportunity for Liu Huo and the others to attack. The remaining forces in the Divine Temple headquarters embarked on a final battle with Liu Huo and his men.

Blood stained the ground red. The thick scent of blood spread through the scorching air and filled everyone’s nostrils.

A moment ago, the present Clan Leader of the Heavenly Fiend Clan, Ke Luo, had led an elite troop and retreated to the Divine Temple. At that moment, a powerful force shrouded the exterior of the Divine Temple.

This was an extremely tough trigram. Liu Huo had been prepared to breach the trigram before the battle commenced, but had failed. Now the trigram was activated, and if he were to force his way in, he would lose at least half his troops.

Liu Huo’s gaze passed over his troops, who bore numerous wounds.

When his parents were killed, these clansmen had carried his younger self away. They had gone into hiding, always fleeing Ke Luo’s pursuit. He truly could not bear to use these clansmen’s lives to tear away the defenses of the trigram.

“Your Highness, we must seize the opportunity. If Ke Luo should recover his strength, it will not be easy to deal with him.” A man from the Heavenly Fiend Clan pressed Liu Huo.

Ke Luo could be said to be the most powerful person to exist in the history of the Heavenly Fiend Clan. Otherwise, he would not have been able to kill Liu Huo’s father, and take over as the Clan Leader of the Heavenly Fiend Clan.

The reason their surprise attack had succeeded this time was first, because they had targeted a time at which most of the Divine Temple’s elite troops had been dispatched; and second, because a spy had secretly poisoned Ke Luo.

This poison had suppressed Ke Luo’s power. But considering Ke Luo’s ability, he would expel the poison from his body before long.

Then, with Ke Luo at his peak, he would not be easy to deal with. Thus this was their only opportunity.

Just as Liu Huo was narrowing his eyes and thinking of a way to break the stalemate, the roar of a dragon suddenly reached his ears.

A familiar voice immediately attracted Liu Huo’s attention. The moment he raised his head, he saw the huge ancient dragon circling above him. Resting upon the head of the ancient dragon was an extremely familiar figure.

“Fengyan…” Liu Huo inwardly gave a slight start.

The other men from the Heavenly Fiend Clan had not yet realized what had happened. They only saw the ancient dragon land suddenly. The moment the ancient dragon landed, a petite figure leapt up and flew over to Liu Huo.

“A human?!” The soldiers of the Heavenly Fiend Clan subconsciously grew wary. They stood in front of Liu Huo, but did not notice that a trace of warmth flashed across their prince’s eyes when he saw the figure.

Liu Huo directly leapt over his clansmen, and walked over to Ji Fengyan, who had landed.

“Have you settled everything on your side?” The murderous intent in Liu Huo’s eyes faded slowly when he looked at Ji Fengyan.

Ji Fengyan smiled. Under everyone’s dumbfounded gaze, she leapt on him like a tiger. She toppled onto his chest and gave him a big hug.

“The demon god was even more powerful than I expected. I actually didn’t have to do anything. It took care of it all.” Ji Fengyan looked smilingly at Liu Huo. The corner of her eye swept across the scars on Liu Huo’s body. When she had ascertained that he had not received any fatal wounds, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

“It seems that you have run into some problems?” Ji Fengyan lifted her eyes and looked at the battlefield that had just come to a halt. Heavenly Fiend Clan bodies were everywhere. The enormous palace nearby attracted Ji Fengyan’s attention.
