332: Chapter 332 is over, you bug!

"Tian Chen is dead... Feng Feng has caught up... We... we're finished!"

"We can't escape... there's no escape at all..."

"I don't want to die..."

"Fight them! We're dead anyway!"

Among the surviving elves, several young Elf Prodigies with fragile mental defenses finally broke down under the succession of blows and the approach of death. Their bodies trembled violently as they uttered incoherent wails of despair and futile pleas for mercy.

"Shut up!!"

Xue Ye roared hoarsely:

"If anyone dares to say another word to disturb morale... I will kill them myself!"

The furious shout instantly silenced the chaotic scene.

The remaining Elf Prodigies, though still terrified, did not dare to make another sound.

Xue Ye's prestige in the team had been built up through battle after battle.

Even though he was heavily injured and near death at this moment, his lingering authority remained.

Once the noise had subsided slightly, Xue Ye took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

He knew that any trace of panic now would be fatal.

His gaze was locked onto Feng Feng atop the stone pillar, his mind racing to find even a one-in-a-million chance of survival.

Begging for mercy? Useless.

The Phoenix Descendant Clan was brutal; they would never let them go.

Handing over points in exchange for a way out? That was an even bigger joke; the enemy could get the points just as easily by killing them.

What to do? What on earth should he do?

"Xue Ye, now... what do we do?"

Beside him, Jiang Xuemian asked in a low voice, her tone filled with powerlessness and confusion.

Xue Ye's throat was dry; he didn't want to speak because he himself had no solution.

But he had to speak. He was the backbone of the team now. If he showed even a hint of confusion or helplessness, this remnant of a team would immediately collapse.

In a flash, a name, like a glimmer of light cutting through the darkness, abruptly entered his mind.

Qin Yan!

The Human Death Star who had caused a massive upheaval outside the Blood God Hall, forced back two True King Descendants, and was now infamous throughout the Northern World!

A desperate gamble! No matter what, he had to take this chance!

Xue Ye suddenly looked up and shouted at Feng Feng on the stone pillar, and at the Phoenix Descendants who were faintly closing in again:

"Feng Feng! You'd better think this through! Qin Yan—is an ally of my Elf Clan!

If you dare touch us, you make an enemy of Qin Yan! Can you withstand his wrath?!"

The name "Qin Yan" seemed to possess magic.

On the stone pillar, Feng Feng, who had been composed as if everything was under his control, suddenly had his pupils contract the moment he heard the name. The mockery and cruelty on his face instantly froze!

The Phoenix Descendant warriors who were closing the encirclement also paused in unison.

Qin Yan's battle record had already spread throughout the Northern World.

He was a terrifying existence that even their young master, Feng Jin, had suffered at the hands of and been forced to retreat from!

Seeing Feng Feng hesitate because of Qin Yan's name, Xue Ye felt a mixture of emotions, a complex and indescribable bitter smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

He never would have imagined that the human youth back in the Palace Garden, who had seemed ordinary and had even been slightly looked down upon by them,

could now cause a fierce prodigy like Feng Feng to hesitate in fear just by the mention of his name!

"If I had known he possessed such power and potential, back in the palace, I... I should have visited him personally to forge a deep alliance..."

A trace of regret uncontrollably flashed through Xue Ye's heart. But it was too late to think about that now.

Suppressing the churning thoughts in his heart, Xue Ye knew he couldn't miss this opportunity!

He barked: "Now! While he's hesitating, break out in different directions!"

As soon as he spoke, he took the lead and charged toward a weak point in the encirclement.

Hearing this, the other elves also began to charge outward one after another.

"Kill them! Don't let them escape!!"

Feng Feng suddenly snapped out of it.

A flash of humiliated murderous intent crossed his eyes.

Qin Yan? An ally of the Elf Clan? A guest of Princess Anya?

Setting aside whether the news was true or false, even if it were true, Qin Yan wasn't here right now!

Distant water cannot put out a nearby fire!

If he killed these elves, took their points, and destroyed the evidence, who would know it was Feng Feng who did it?

Even if Qin Yan found out afterward, Young Master Feng Jin would be there to handle it.

More importantly... Young Master Feng Jin was still waiting deep within the Craggy Territory for him to hand over the points he had scavenged!

If he couldn't even handle this small matter and let these sitting ducks fly away...

At the thought of Feng Jin's cold and cruel methods, and his tendency to impose severe punishment, Feng Feng couldn't help but shudder, and the murderous intent and sense of urgency in his heart grew even stronger!

Feng Feng took the lead, arriving behind one of the elven remnants first.

His eyes gleamed with ferocity as he swung his crimson war blade without any flourishes!

*Splatter!*

The blade fell, and the head of an elven warrior at the back of the group, who was running desperately, went flying!

The headless corpse staggered forward a few more steps due to momentum before collapsing onto the ground, blood staining a patch of crushed stones red.

A thick scent of blood instantly filled the air.

"A few of you, surround Xue Ye and kill him!"

Feng Feng barked without looking back, his gaze locked onto Jiang Xuemian, who was charging toward the edge of the encirclement.

Xue Ye had already reached the outermost edge of the circle. Swinging his broken sword, he forced back two Phoenix Descendant prodigies who tried to intercept him, and it looked like he was about to break free.

Hearing Feng Feng's command, several Phoenix Descendant prodigies immediately changed direction, flanking Xue Ye from four angles and trapping him in the center once more.

As for Feng Feng himself, carrying an overwhelming murderous aura, he lunged straight for Jiang Xuemian!

Feng Feng's figure blurred, turning into a crimson afterimage. A moment later, he crossed dozens of yards, his war blade carrying a scorching breath of death as it slashed directly at Jiang Xuemian's back!

Faced with Feng Feng's sudden, lightning-fast fatal strike, Jiang Xuemian only had time to barely raise her longsword in a block.

*Clang!*

The immense force left Jiang Xuemian's arms numb and her blood churning, causing her to stagger backward.

Feng Feng pressed his advantage, shifting his blade's momentum. The crimson blade light, like a venomous snake's tongue, tore through the air again, slashing diagonally toward Jiang Xuemian's neck from a tricky angle!

Jiang Xuemian's old strength was spent and new strength had yet to rise; she could only watch as that fatal crimson blur rapidly expanded in her pupils.

*Pfft—!*

The sharp blade entered flesh, and blood sprayed!

Jiang Xuemian's headless body collapsed.

Feng Feng didn't even look at Jiang Xuemian's corpse. With a casual wave, he pulled the purification ring hanging at her waist into his hand.

Then, he walked toward Xue Ye.

Xue Ye, who was struggling against four Phoenix Descendants, suddenly felt an extremely sharp blade wind coming from behind him!

It was Feng Feng's murderous intent locking onto him!

Every hair on his body stood on end. Without thinking, he forced his body to twist and rolled desperately to the left!

*Squelch—!*

The crimson blade light grazed past his right arm!

Although his reaction had been incredibly fast, the edge of the blade light still savagely brushed against his left shoulder!

"Argh!"

Xue Ye let out a cry of pain. His left arm was severed at the shoulder, the wound charred black, and blood gushed out like a fountain!

The intense pain and blood loss made his vision go dark. He staggered, barely able to remain standing.

A flash of cruel pleasure, like a cat playing with a mouse, appeared in Feng Feng's eyes.

He gave Xue Ye no chance to breathe, raising his long blade once more as the crimson blade light slashed toward Xue Ye!

"It's over, bug."
