Monarch of Evernight: 243 The beast in the cage
bsp;Many powerful Eternal Night men would not sit back and watch Qianye escape. The witch snorted coldly and disappeared without a trace. Edward and Basil knew they were in the wrong, so they chased Qianye in the direction of his escape without making a sound.
Anwen sighed and said to the rest of the people: "Follow me." He ran towards the distance unhurriedly, the direction slightly different from that of Edward and Basil.
Several strong vampires hesitated for a moment, wondering whether they should follow Anwen. Aiden said coldly: "If you don't follow the young master, are you going to follow Edward? Do you think he can track down the whereabouts of His Highness the Witch? ?"
This sentence makes perfect sense. In the maelstrom, after a series of blows, Edward's authority is no longer what it used to be. In particular, his blood energy was completely unable to suppress Qianye, which made the powerful vampires who valued blood inheritance extremely suspicious.
At that moment, several powerful vampires followed Anwen, while several others continued to follow Edward. Dusk gritted her teeth and walked in the direction Edward left.
Aiden saw several powerful vampires being persuaded by him, and just smiled and followed Anwen away.
Anwen in front was not very fast either, and it seemed that he was trying to prevent several vampire counts from following him. These earls all come from the following families of the Twelve Ancient Clan. They are not very good at dealing with Edward's Pas family. In addition, Edward's performance in the battle is very unconvincing, and he often uses them as cannon fodder at critical moments. , so these earls resolutely gave up on Edward and followed Anwen.
With their speed, how could they catch up to Qianye?
Although Anwen was obviously taking care of them, the vampire earls could not help but have such doubts. On this occasion, bursts of roaring suddenly came from the distance, and magic and blood rose into the sky, like two giant dragons strangled in one place.
Such a momentum, especially the pressure in the blood that was as deep as the sea, made all the vampire counts frightened, and even the movement of the blood slowed down. At the same time, they felt a little complicated in their hearts. They didn't know whether they were relieved that they had finally caught up, or they were worried about having to face a life-and-death battle again.
The witch has intercepted Qianye and is fighting fiercely. Edward and Basil jumped into the air, turned around, and rushed over from a distance. Anwen was heading in the right direction, heading straight towards the battlefield.
Although their bodies were weakened by the shock, several vampire earls were ready to speed up and rush to the battlefield. Anwen in front of him was not in a hurry, he moved slower and said calmly: "Why are you rushing over there in such a hurry? Are you going to die? Wait until she consumes almost all Qianye's power, then it's time to use you. However, if If you still want to taste the power of the original spear, then..."
Before An Wen finished speaking, he suddenly felt a strong throbbing and couldn't help but look into the distance. He happened to see a pale golden light pillar entwined with black energy rising into the sky and piercing the sky!
It was a strange light feather. The outer edge and feather handle were deep black, and only the middle part of the feather shone with a faint golden light.
The moment this feather of light entered his eyes, Anwen couldn't utter another word and watched it shoot into the sky. The extreme danger and extreme power make people shudder and unwilling to look away.
A slim figure loomed high in the sky, so faint that it was almost invisible. But this black-rimmed light feather was like having eyes, shining directly at this figure, and instantly penetrated the demonic energy like streamers she had placed in front of her body, as easily as if it were penetrating rotten paper.
The witch snorted, her figure frozen in the air, sometimes clear, sometimes dim, and the demonic energy was like boiling water, rolling and erratic, obviously out of control.
An Wen finally regained his composure, let out a low cry, jumped up, and flew towards the witch in the air.
The witch turned her head, stopped Anwen with her invisible and cold gaze, and said coldly: "I'm fine."
An Wen stopped talking. Qianye's original spear was so different from the past. It hit the witch so much that she couldn't hide in the void, and even the demonic energy was a little out of control. Who would believe it if it was okay? But he also knew that the witch had an extremely arrogant temperament. Since she said it was okay, even if it was a big deal, she would not want Anwen to intervene.
If nothing was wrong, why would she stay here motionless and let Qianye leave?
As if she knew what Anwen was thinking, the witch said calmly: "Don't worry, he is also injured and cannot escape my grasp."
Anwen looked at the ground. On a rock, there were a few sparks burning slowly, and the flames were about to burn out. As soon as his heart moved, he landed on the edge of the rock, stretched out his fingers to pick up a little flame, and held it in front of his eyes to watch carefully. When he saw the flames burning out, he said, "Golden blood?"
An Wen couldn't hide the shock in his voice. At this moment, the witch's figure became dim again, like a touch of light ink smeared on the sky. It seemed that the injury was under control.
She showed rare solemnity and said: "Yes, it is the blood of burning gold."
"Besides those old guys, there are still people who can possess gold-burning blood? Does this mean..."
"Yes, he should have successfully communicated with the river of blood."
Anwen narrowed his eyes slightly and said after a moment: "This is important news."
"You rarely talk nonsense like this."
An Wen sighed softly and said: "What I mean is, should I tell His Majesty the Eternal Flame such important news?"
The witch exclaimed, a little strange, and said: "Do you want to report it to the other two majesties? There is no need for His Majesty the Emperor to say it. This trivial matter does not need to disturb him. As for the other Majesty, you should Be more aware of his current state."
An Wen said: "I don't mean to choose a faction or a family, but whether to hide this matter."
The witch looked very surprised, "I really don't see it, you still want to kill Qianye by yourself? Huh, don't say I look down on you, just because you are distracted by so many chores, let alone kill me Even if you want to defeat him, you have no chance. Your sword skills are really clever, and basically no one can avoid them. But what's the use? Even if you can hit Qianye, you can't kill him. The gun will probably kill you."
An Wen could only smile bitterly in response to the witch's merciless ridicule, and asked: "Don't you want to kill him with your own hands?"
The witch said seriously: "Seeing that your messy things are really knowledgeable, I might as well tell you the truth. From the perspective of being the most powerful person, of course I want to kill him with my own hands. The stronger he is, the more powerful he is. , the more sharpening stone it is, the more it can support me to reach a higher level. However, from the perspective of our clan, killing him as soon as possible is the right way. He can communicate with the river of blood now. If he is allowed to grow up, it will be very good. He may become the second Habbs and light up a certain mark in the river of blood. I think you also know the consequences of that."
An Wen was silent for a moment, and after a moment he sighed and said: "I just think that regardless of race, Qianye is really a good person. His future achievements will be extremely high. When we all reach the top of the world, Perhaps he will be the most trustworthy partner when exploring the depths of the void."
The witch snorted and said sarcastically: "You may not be able to become a great king. Isn't it too early to think about exploring the void now?"
Anwen smiled confidently and said: "As long as you can become a great king, I will also become a great king. On the road of no return to explore the ultimate power, in your eyes, those miscellaneous studies are much more useful than any secret bloodline."
The witch sneered, of course she didn’t believe it.
As if he hadn't heard anything, An Wen pointed to the sky and said, "Have you ever thought about what is at the end of the sky? What is behind the sky? Where is the maelstrom we are in at the moment, and why are we in the Everlasting Night? It can't be found around the seventeen continents, or even among the stars in the dome? How was the endless void that trapped countless powerful people here in the past formed? Is it something that existed in ancient times, or is it something we have yet to discover? It’s hard to understand the power of imagination and the prison it has set for us.”
The witch seems to have never thought about this series of questions, or would not have the answers even if she did. Every question was like a distant bell, shaking her mind.
An Wen finally said: "Don't you think, compared with these problems and the vast world we live in, the hatred among various races at the moment is ignorant and ridiculous? It's like a group of wild beasts locked in a cage. , If you have to fight to the death and compete for the throne, what's the point? Even if you kill all your opponents, you will only occupy a cage."
The witch finally sighed and said: "Perhaps what you said is right. But it will only make sense to say this when we wait for the day when we become kings. At this moment, it is better to catch Qianye first. Even more important. Even if we are just the king in the cage in the end, it is better than being destroyed by others and watching others become kings."
An Wen had no way to refute this truth. He could only sigh, "Everyone is so short-sighted, how can they break the cage and go to the vast world?"
The witch said: "Before you go to the vast world, please improve your combat power. Otherwise, how can you break the cage?"
Anwen was speechless.
Looking around the world, there are not many people who can despise Anwen's combat power, but the witch happens to be one of them.
Anwen shook his head and said, "Then I'll listen to you. Where is Qianye now?"
The witch said: "I'm looking for him. He won't be able to escape for long... I've caught him!"
The witch disappeared instantly, leaving only an almost invisible line of ink in the air to guide Anwen. This ink line was transformed by the witch's unique demonic energy, and only Anwen could see it.
At this moment, Edward and Basil had already arrived. Seeing that the Witch and Anwen were not moving, they had no choice but to wait. Facts have proven that only the witch can capture Qianye.
The witch used demonic energy to build an invisible border to prevent others from approaching. Edward and Basil naturally felt this warning. Therefore, no one noticed the gold-burning blood left after Qianye was injured.
During the whole process, Anwen and the witch were talking using the supreme secret method of the devil. All the content was interacted through the devil's energy, and outsiders had no idea what they were doing. Not to mention Edward and Basil, even Aiden didn't know the content of their conversation.
After a while, the witch left. Anwen said hello to the strong men and followed the ink line. Edward and Basil finally learned the lesson this time and hurried to follow. Edward's face was as dark as water, and he didn't even look at the several vampire earls who chose Anwen from the beginning.
