The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife: The Sly Lady

Chapter 201: The Last Battle (3)

Translator: Madesmoiselle V.

Murong Xue snatched Ouyang Shaochen’s lappet and pulled it at full tilt. Taking her hint, Ouyang Shaochen bent over for her whispers. With her melodious voice entering his ears, Ouyang’s obsidian-like eyes sparkled as he gave an almost imperceptible nod.

Mu Liufeng, jealous of their intimacy, stood up suddenly with a piercing gleam in his eyes and berated Cang Qiong harshly, not giving any impression of weakness, “Cang Qiong, stop blustering. It’s obvious that you just want to goad us into a battle and defeat us one by one. Stop being delusional that we will fall into your trap!”

“Ha-ha, you have seen through my tactic. Seems like you’re a little bit brighter than I gave you credit for!” Cang Qiong, with the barest hint of a smile on his face, looked at his enemies on the eight-tailed wooden snake with contempt.

Mu Liufeng snorted in disdain. “We have always been bright. The previous four warriors failed only because they underestimated your machinery. We can do nothing about you and vice versa. Now all your triggers left are only for self-defense rather than attacking, aren’t they?”

Cang Qiong’s face turned grim and frightening. He glared at Mu Liufeng, and said emphatically, “Who told you this?”

“It is obvious. If you could attack us with the mechanism, we would have died already. There is no need for you to goad us into action!” Mu Liufeng glanced at him with his peach-blossom-like eyes filled with disdain.

Cang Qiong turned ghastly pale, and his eyes were filled with rage. He did have attacking triggers, which he thought would be a waste to use on them. He planned to lure them into the battle and kill them one by one. However, they dared to insult him and seek for their own doom. Then he would satisfy them!

With coldness in his eyes, Cang Qiong turned to press the button. A pillar embedded with buttons appeared. Ouyang Shaochen made a flick with his fingers, producing streaks of inner force, which tore the pillar apart with an enormous explosion...

Cang Qiong was good with machinery. His plan would fail completely once all the triggers have been destroyed.

Murong Xue, with a sneer on her face, saw Cang Qiong, whose face was breathtakingly sullen, dashing towards them on his wooden snake with his eyes filled with malevolence.

“What is he up to?” Mu Liufeng curved his eyebrows. With his mechanisms being destroyed and his fighting capacity decreasing sharply, shouldn’t Cang Qiong escape? Why is he dashing towards them instead?

“Maybe he wants mutual destruction!” The leader of the imperial guards answered casually.

What? Mutual destruction?

Mu Liufeng stared at Cang Qiong, whose pupils were filled with hatred. His intentions were as clear as day. Mu Liufeng was still young. He absolutely didn’t want to perish with this lunatic!

He raised his head and urged Murong Xue to speed up.

With a soft hum, Murong Xue pulled the wooden handle gently. The eight-tailed wooden snake glided to Cang Qiong, drawing a graceful curve in the air.

Mu Liufeng was shocked. He shouted urgently, “We were supposed to keep away from Cang Qiong. Why are you flying towards him?”

“We have to approach him so as to hold him captive.” Murong Xue winked.

“Aren’t we going to die if we confront him face to face?” Mu Liufeng frowned and said hastily, “He doesn’t deserve mutual destruction.”

“Who says that will be the only result?” With a mystic smile on her face, Murong Xue pressed the button. The gliding eight-tailed wooden snake suddenly turned around and smashed Cang Qiong’s wooden snake with its huge tails.

With a deafening boom, three or four tails were crashed into pieces, while the head of Cang Qiong’s huge snake was completely knocked off. Cang Qiong went flying into the air and fell hard onto the circle platform. The serious concussion caused dizziness and tinnitus. With thousands of sparks seeming to fly before his eyes, he took such a long time before he could stand on one leg.

An elegant figure suddenly landed next to Cang Qiong. Mu Liufeng opened his fans and whooshed it to his throat. “Congratulations. Cang Qiong. You are our prisoner now.”

Cang Qiong glared at him with fury burning in his eyes. “Don’t be too complacent just yet.”

“I’m just pleased by keeping you as a prisoner...” Mu Liufeng retorted in arrogance. His smile really deserved some good spanking.

Cang Qiong gritted his teeth in hatred. He saw the leader of imperial guards walking to the brim of the platform, and released Yuan Fangfei as well as those three guards by cutting his net open. All of them, including Murong Xue, Ouyang Shaochen, Ye Yichen and Ye Qitian crowded around Cang Qiong, their eyes sparkling with evil intentions.

“What are you staring at, bastard?” Yuan Fangfei walked to him in stride and struck Cang Qiong in his chest with her fist. He was knocked down with blood pouring from his mouth...

The revenge had finally been taken! She was carried away with wild excitement for she had given full vent to her anger!

“We should go back and take this evil bastard to the emperor as soon as possible, Murong Xue.”

“Okay!” Murong Xue nodded. She walked slowly to the two broken wooden snakes and checked carefully. “The eight-tailed wooden snake was seriously broken, so it couldn’t bear the weight of us. We might as well take Cang Qiong’s. Although its head was knocked off and its wooden handle is broken, I think it’ll still work.”

“As long as we can get down to the ground, I don’t care!” Yuan Fangfei said in a dismissive tone.

She merely wanted to land safely.

So did others.

Murong Xue held the broken wooden handle and pulled it gently. After trembling slightly, the platform began to descend.

Cang Qiong stood up slowly and wiped the blood away from his lips with his eyes half-closed. They wanted to take him to their emperor for credit claiming? No way! All of them will be buried with him!

With coldness in his eyes, Cang Qiong pounced to the fracture and pressed the button nearby. A swishing sound instantly rang on the platform.

“The blasting fuse is burning. This wooden snake is going to explode. Run!” Murong Xue’s shouted anxiously.

As soon as she jumped off the platform, the explosion took place. The whole snake burst into flames. They could hardly open their eyes because of the powerful beams and heat.

Wind was howling beside her ears as Murong Xue fell rapidly in the air. She suddenly realized that it was nearly impossible for her to survive falling from such height because she knew nothing about Qing Kung.
