Dead silence and stunned gazes greeted Ai Hui when he walked out with a snail’s pace and a cautious look on his face .
The air surrounding him loudly crackled, as if there was an invisible fire burning and trembling violently .
Ai Hui’s body was shrouded in an air current, appearing fuzzy to everyone’s eyes .
Everyone was looking at the lightning-imbued sword in Ai Hui’s hand . They couldn’t believe what they had just seen and looked as if they had seen a ghost .
Lightning!
They knew Ai Hui’s nickname was "Lightning Blade," but they seldom linked it with real lightning . Even when the survivors of Central Pine City recounted the Battle of Long Street, other people would merely laugh . Everyone understood the term "lightning" as a metaphor to describe Ai Hui’s courage and dominance on the battlefield .
However . . .
At this moment, the streaks of lightning curling around Ai Hui’s sword seemed to be telling them how ignorant they were . For a veteran with rich experience like Mister Dou, this was far beyond his comprehension of the term "lightning" .
If they weren’t remembering incorrectly, Ai Hui was the first Lightning Master in the history of the Avalon of Five Elements!
They were petrified .
Anyone who was a "first in history" for something definitely could not be considered normally .
This person was extraordinary .
How could a person who would leave his name in the history of the Avalon of Five Elements be an ordinary individual?
Mister Dou was much calmer than the others . Yang Xiaodong had already shown signs of retreating .
Autumn Water’s last bit of hope disappeared . Her body stopped trembling as she was engulfed by boundless despair . Her limbs were ice-cold; she had never felt this cold before . She finally understood why King had been defeated in such a short period of time .
Her eyes were hollow and despondent . Cracks began to appear in her sky palace as her base level dropped . [King] was her Path of Master and she had put her blood and soul into it . When King died, the pillar supporting her base level collapsed .
Similarly, deep reverence and fear appeared in Jiu Gui’s serpent-like eyes at this moment .
His Dragoncry Spring Wine allowed him to be possessed by an ancient great dragon; however, even the ancient great dragon was filled fear and reverence when confronted with lightning . These feelings were passed on to Jiu Gui .
When Jiu Gui shifted his gaze to Autumn Water and sensed her aura rapidly weakening, he knew it would be impossible to win today’s war .
A shadow flashed across the sky and Jiu Gui appeared beside Autumn Water . He picked her up and abruptly flew towards the outskirts of Clearwater City .
Jiu Gui’s actions were very sudden without any forewarning . Quick and straightforward .
By the time anyone could react, he and Autumn Water were hundreds of meters away from the city .
Mister Dou, who had remained calm all this time, changed his facial expression . Meanwhile, Yang Xiaodong’s face had turned ashen . Both of them had not expected the Assembly of Patriarchs to escape without informing them first .
Mister Dou was so angry that he almost cursed . His [Northern Underworld King Tree] had formidable power and could both attack and defend, but it had one weakness; its mobility was very restricted . Once it had taken root, it would take around half a minute for its user to withdraw it and the process was rather troublesome .
Usually, half a minute was not considered long, but in an intense battle, it was exceptionally important . One’s enemy wouldn’t even give him or her a few seconds to catch a breath, let alone half a minute to retreat .
This was why Mister Dou seldom fought solo . If not for the fact that the Assembly of Patriarchs had paid him a very huge sum of money and that snow lava could fetch a terrifying price, he would not have taken action .
He had not trusted the Assembly of Patriarchs, which led to him bringing along Yang Xiaodong .
He and Yang Xiaodong had an extraordinary relationship and absolute trust in each other .
Now, however, Mister Dou was filled with regret as he had pulled Yang Xiaodong into this trouble .
Initially, he had thought that both of them could make a massive amount of profit off of the snow lava . This profit could even feed them for the rest of their lives . The main driving factor was that their chances for success on this mission were extremely high . There was no reason why four Masters would be unable to take down the mayor’s residence . Furthermore, with Yang Xiaodong as their spy, wasn’t it in the bag?
The initial development of the situation wasn’t too far from Mister Dou’s expectations . They were in an advantageous position .
In a blink of an eye, however, the situation was overturned . The Assembly of Patriarchs was actually frightened out of their wits and abandoned them to make their own escape .
Right now, they only had two Masters to deal with the other side’s three Masters and the "first ever Lightning Master . "
It was obvious which side had the upper hand .
All Mister Dou could feel was agony . With a deep voice, he said, "Xiaodong, leave first!"
Yang Xiaodong did not move .
"Xiaodong, there’s no point in us dying together . If you live, you can still help me take care of the stronghold . " Mister Dou sighed .
Yang Xiaodong’s body trembled .
Mister Dou looked as if he was reminiscing as he continued to speak with a hint of grief in his voice, "Out of all of my followers, you are the most successful . Some have died and some are injured . The children are still young and I’m worried about them . I leave them to you . Help me take good care of them . "
Yang Xiaodong’s eyes turned red .
No one would expect Mister Dou, who was an underworld overlord that murdered people without batting an eye, to have adopted so many orphans .
Yang Xiaodong was one of the orphans he had adopted .
In his heart, Mister Dou was his big brother . Back in the day, Mister Dou lost his eyes to save his life .
After Yang Xiaodong grew up, Mister Dou expelled him from the stronghold . This was a traditional custom . Mister Dou felt that they should lead a decent life and not indulge in fights and killing every day .
After Yang Xiaodong was expelled from the stronghold, he changed his identity and led a new life . Yang Wuchang was actually his adopted son, but he publicized him as his nephew .
Yang Wuchang was also an orphan . The first time Yang Xiaodong saw him, he’d thought of himself and Mister Dou .
No one had expected Yang Xiaodong to eventually become a Master .
Before Yang Xiaodong could reply, they were interrupted by a voice .
"Do you think this is a market where you can come and leave as you wish?"
The voice belonged to Ai Hui .
However… his voice sounded very weird .
