A Moment of Life and Death

"Bang!" Even if it was merely the aftermath of the magic, it still sent Ye Luo crashing hard to the ground from the air. He stood up, staring at the two charred corpses falling from the fireball. An indescribable sense of suffocation filled his chest, and his heart ached as if a piece of it had been torn away, as if the most important thing in this world to him was fading away bit by bit!

"Ye Meng! Ye You!!!" Ye Luo clenched his fists!

"My Emperor, we must leave at once!" Ye Yi transformed into his human form and said with absolute decisiveness. He was equally grieved by the death of his companions, but as a combat hero, he had to ensure the safety of the Sovereign!

However, Ye Luo's expression shifted. Ignoring Ye Yi's dissuasion, his body turned into an arrow as he charged toward the direction of Ye Meng and the other.

At the same time, the mage Barrit let out a cold snort, "What a tenacious beast. To think it didn't die immediately after being hit by my fifth-tier magic?"

Not dead! That's right, Ye Meng and Ye You had not died instantly. At the most critical moment, Ye Meng reverted to his Zergling form, and Ye You did the same. Relying on their tough carapaces, they barely survived this ordeal. However, their condition was dire; over eighty percent of their skin was scorched. Surviving was entirely due to the Zerg's formidable vitality!

Ye Luo lunged to their side, his right hand trembling as he released two bursts of white light in succession. Two units of Healing Aphid entered their bodies respectively.

"My Emperor, why, why did you come back..." Three seconds later, Ye Meng opened his eyes abruptly. Seeing Ye Luo, he couldn't help but offer a helpless, bitter smile.

Ye Luo gripped their bodies tightly, his eyes bloodshot, "If we live, we live together; if we die, we die together!!"

Ye Yi stood guard firmly by Ye Luo's side. Because of this delay, their only glimmer of hope had been completely severed. One thousand Iron-Clad Soldier had arrived from the rear, and the encirclement was forming!

Not only that, Ye Luo's flight ability had given Warwick a massive shock. The battle that should have been a sure victory had nearly gone awry. If Ye Luo hadn't abandoned his chance to escape for the sake of his two subordinates, he might have actually gotten away. To prevent such a situation from happening again, Warwick decided to take action himself!

A Diamond-Rank Fighter, whether in physical strength or battle energy, was far beyond what a Silver Warrior could compare to. Ye Luo and his group could easily contend with Silver Warrior using their respective abilities, but in front of a Diamond-Rank Fighter, they would deeply understand the gap in strength!

"Bang!" A silver light flashed on Warwick's body as he shot forward. Without any hesitation, he swung his right fist, triggering a sonic boom in the air!

Ye Yi gritted his teeth and kicked out. With a loud "Boom!", Ye Yi was sent flying ten meters away like a kite with a broken string! Even though Ye Yi used his most powerful legs to block, he still couldn't bridge the gap in strength between them.

Ye Yi collapsed on the ground, his right leg twitching uncontrollably, and the surrounding Iron-Clad Soldier immediately slashed toward him!

"Get lost!" Ye Luo slammed both hands into the ground, and two massive spikes erupted from the earth, instantly killing the five soldiers attacking Ye Yi!

However, Ye Luo had saved Ye Yi's life, but who could save his? Just as Ye Luo's hands slammed into the ground, Warwick charged toward him!

"A magical beast? Go to hell!"

"Bang!" Taking a heavy punch to the stomach, Ye Luo successfully enjoyed a free-spinning flight in the air. His entire stomach felt as if it were being churned by a drill, nearly causing him to pass out from the pain! The blood in his mouth was sprayed out in mouthfuls as if it were worthless!

"My Emperor!!!" Recovering slowly under the treatment of the Healing Aphid, Ye Meng and Ye You stood up simultaneously and charged toward Warwick from the left and right!

Warwick's face was filled with bloodthirsty cruelty. Looking at the two approaching him, he didn't care in the slightest. He stomped his foot, and the ground beneath him instantly cracked into two fissures. The cracks spread rapidly to the front of Ye Meng and Ye You, and then two bursts of battle energy surged from underground, smashing Ye Meng and Ye You back like two giant hammers!

"Overestimating yourselves!" Warwick savored the status, glory, and arrogance brought by his strength. He walked toward Ye Luo step by step.

"Today, you will undoubtedly die!" Warwick looked down at Ye Luo from above, as if looking at an ant.

Ye Luo looked at him powerlessly, his mouth struggling to curl into a smile, "Is, is that so? Then you had better kill me quickly, because, as long as I, I am alive, I will be your, your nightmare!"

"A powerful threat. I hate threats, and I hate nightmares even more, so I will grant your wish!" A murderous glint flashed and vanished; Warwick smashed a fist toward Ye Luo's head!

"Boom boom boom..." Just at this moment!

Ten earth spikes shot directly out from the ground!

They pierced toward Warwick from all directions!

Warwick could kill Ye Luo regardless of the cost, but he would also inevitably be pierced into a hornet's nest by these ten sharp spikes!

"Damn it!" Warwick retracted his fist unwillingly and formed a seal with his hands in front of his chest! "Diamond Guard!"

"Cling, cling, cling..." Diamond-Rank battle energy enveloped his entire body, protecting Warwick within. A crystal-clear diamond shield condensed around him.

The earth spikes slammed into the nearly transparent shield, but they could only leave white marks on its surface!

"Boom!" Suddenly, behind the earth spikes, the ground where Ye Luo was located collapsed, and Ye Luo's body fell into it, disappearing instantly!

Warwick's eyes widened, and he roared loudly, "Mage Barrit!"

Barrit's reaction was extremely swift. The moment Ye Luo fell into the hole, he tore open a scroll. A large amount of cyan elements surged from the tear, rapidly forming a cyan inscription. As the inscription flashed, two wings actually appeared on Barrit's back! By the time Warwick called him, he had already reached Warwick's side, "I have already sensed it. To the north, seven hundred meters away. These Zerg, they actually dug a tunnel underground!"

"You go pursue them; I will deal with these!" Warwick turned his gaze toward Ye Meng, Ye Yi, and Ye You, but unexpectedly, more than twenty black shadows shot out from the ground. The shadows brandished fangs and claws, pouncing toward Warwick!

"Die for me!" Warwick roared, his battle energy condensing into a broadsword. The broadsword swept across, and five or six Zergling died instantly! However, the Zergling emerged from the ground like bamboo shoots after rain, their numbers increasing!

The confidence on Warwick's face was gradually replaced by irritation and anger. He swiped his hands in front of his chest, forming a strange hand seal, "In my name, fight with me! Appear, Iron Blood!"

A massive amount of battle energy condensed directly into a red broadsword. The broadsword was 1.3 meters long and fully two feet wide, blood-red throughout, looking just like a small door panel!
