Qingfeng Li watched the battle closely, discovering that most of the self-cultivators had already been killed. Even the five princes were heavily wounded, with their Forbidden Spiritual Treasures all destroyed as well.
The emperor avatars they’ve called upon had mostly vanished as well, leaving behind only the Golden-Arrow country’s emperor avatar and the Desert Queen. They were also heavily injured but were still engaged in battle.
As a royalty of the Crimson Fire Desert, the Desert Queen knew in great detail its environment. She was familiar with the desert’s every sand speck and every nook and cranny, its every mountain, plant, and beast. This was the only reason to why she had survived for so long.
With the Fiery Supreme and the green-scaled dragon dead, the Desert Queen took control of the surrounding desert, forming a massive sandstorm and trapping everyone inside.
The Golden-Arrow country’s emperor avatar panicked at the sight of the sandstorm. In an attempt to protect his son and the other self-cultivators, he chose to self-combust, destroying the Desert Queen’s sandstorm instantly.
Along with the destruction of her sandstorm, the Desert Queen was heavily injured as well. Her face was pale as paper as her body fell heavily toward the ground.
The previous supreme level eight stage Desert Queen was now reduced to a supreme level fifth stage master.
The Golden-Arrow Prince, the Princess, and the final disciples of the big three sects were all injured, but none were dead.
They surrounded the Desert Queen, attacking her all at once. They needed to take advantage of her injuries and finish her quickly. This was the only way they can retrieve the monarch soul fruit.
Otherwise, they would face grave danger once she regained her powers.
The Desert Queen furrowed her brows. In her prime, she wouldn’t be threatened by these people. But now that she had suffered injuries from her previous battles with the emperor avatars, she had little vital essence left.
She sent out her spirit energy into the surrounding sand, raising her brows momentarily, her lips curving upwards. She had discovered a Desert Giant 2000 meters away.
The Desert Giant was an incredibly strong presence, dubbed the second greatest master under the Desert Queen, second only to the Desert General. It was a prized soldier of the Desert Queen.
“Desert Giant, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and protect me!” The Desert Queen yelled into the distance.
At the sound of her voice, the five princes and their followers all halted their steps. They recognized the Desert Queen as the most powerful being in the Crimson Fire Desert.
She had the power to control sand, and she had power over many Desert Giants. If these Desert Giants surrounded them, they would have nowhere to run.
2000 meters into the distance, Qingfeng Li hid beneath the sand, furrowing his brows at the Desert Giant next to him.
Never in a million years did Qingfeng Li expect the Desert Queen to discover the Desert Giant. As he thought more about it, however, it was easy to understand.
The Desert Queen had most definitely set up a tracking system on the Desert Giant. As a person made entirely of sand and as their boss, the Desert Queen probably had special ways to locate the Desert Giants.
The Desert Giant hesitated. On the one side was its previous Queen and on the side, was its current master. Unable to decide, it looked towards Qingfeng Li, hoping he would help him decide.
Qingfeng Li shifted his eyes and said, “Don’t go. We’ll continue to hide here.”
Qingfeng Li had his own plans. He would only attack after the Desert Queen and the five princes injured each other.
Unfortunately, things didn’t go as Qingfeng Li had planned. After the five princes discovered the hiding Desert Giant, they halted their attacks on the Desert Queen, with two of the princes even retreating backward.
The Soil-Border Prince and the Golden-Arrow Prince walked side-by-side towards the Desert Giant.
The Soil-Border Prince stomped his foot on the ground, creating a huge crack in the land. His practices were in earth-type techniques and Gravity Techniques.
The purpose of his action was to suck in all the sand into the ground and reveal the body of the Desert Giant.
At the sight of the Desert Giant, the Soil-Border Prince said coldly, “So there really is a soldier of the Desert Queen hiding here. I will finish you today.”
Knowing full well that they could no longer hide, Qingfeng Li’s eyes flashed cold. He had no choice but to show his face. His plans had to change.
Qingfeng Li decided to finish his enemies as quickly as possible. He would first kill the two princes closest to him to cut down the number of enemies.
Qingfeng Li glanced at Mengyao Xu and said, “You, Black Puppy, and Sky-Swallowing Snake attack the Golden-Arrow Prince. I’ll kill the Soil-Border Prince first.”
With their jobs assigned, Qingfeng Li immediately flew out from under the sand, dashing towards the Soil-Border Prince as fast as lightning.
The Soil-Border Prince was startled by the appearance of another being charging at him. He was completely blind to its presence, which could only mean that it had incredible concealing techniques.
At the sight of Qingfeng Li, the Soil-Border Prince was even more frightened.
In their previous battle, Qingfeng Li had defeated the Soil-Border Prince, devouring his bloodline powers and punching him into the desert sand.
If it weren’t for everyone battling for the ripened monarch soul fruit, the Soil-Border Prince would have died in the hands of Qingfeng Li.
Although he hated Qingfeng Li, the Soil-Border Prince knew that he was no match for the man. The Soil-Border Prince began to run without a second of hesitation.
He wanted to join the other three princes to fight Qingfeng Li together. Unfortunately for him, Qingfeng Li was much faster, arriving behind him in the blink of an eye.
“Third Finger Ceases Time!” Qingfeng Li unleashed the third technique of the Conqueror’s Finger. He needed to kill the Soil-Border Prince as soon as possible.
The Soil-Border Prince was sprinting away but was stopped in the next second, trapped by the green light shot from Qingfeng Li’s finger.
Qingfeng Li channeled his Hellish vital essence into his fist, forming on top of it tadpole-like talisman scripts and emitting out rays of violent energy.
Every individual seal script contained the energy of Hell. Combined, the scriptures dazzled a black light, turning even more violent and appearing even more absolutely bone-chilling.
