Veronica was in cloud nine right now.
When Fang Lin arrived at her place and told all those sweet things to her, Veronica felt extremely happy.
Especially when she found out that Fang Lin did not lie about any of these things!
Having a guy saying that he truly cares for you is something that Veronica did not experience before.
All the guys that she met before either wanted her because of her status, and sometimes, they are also scared of her because of her transformation.
Only Jieshu and Fang Lin were the ones that are sincerely caring for Veronica!
But before Veronica could even enjoy her current situation, the wench Fang Yu suddenly arrived as she demanded Veronica to give Fang Lin back!
This is why Veronica hated Fang Yu! She always tries to mess with Veronica, no matter what happened!
“You wench, I will not be giving General Draco to anyone, as he is my subordinate now!” Veronica shouted as she opened the door with a bang.
Veronica then looked outside as she saw the elegant and beautiful Fang Yu floating above her house.
The condescending look that Fang Yu was giving to Veronica just increased the rage the Veronica was feeling right now.
Fang Lin, who saw what was happening, started to open his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
But Veronica beat him to the punch as she told him,
“General Draco, even if you are my subordinate now, there is no way that I will allow you to defend me now! I will be the one that will discipline this b**ch!”
This time, Veronica seemed to have decided to not hold back as her whole body began to transform.
But before Veronica could fully transform, another powerful presence arrived at the place, which interrupted the heated exchanges between Illusion Fang Yu and Veronica.
The newcomer was Bai Huangdi, and his face was currently blackened from rage as he looked at the quarreling duo.
He could barely contain the rage in his voice as he slowly asked them,
“What the hell is happening here?”
*********************
With Bai Huangdi appearing in the area, both Illusion Fang Yu and Veronica had no choice but to stop themselves from lashing out to each other.
As for Fang Lin, he acted like an obedient child in front of Bai Huangdi as he told him what happened.
“You damn kid, so you decided to leave the military now? What a great soldier you are!” Bai Huangdi barked in anger after he realized that Fang Lin became Veronica’s subordinate. “Maybe you leaving is good for us, since you are just a traitorous bastard!”
“Hey!” This time, Veronica’s rage swiveled to Bai Huangdi as she could not accept what Bai Huangdi just said. “Take it back!”
But before Bai Huangdi could give his cheeky reply, an alarm suddenly sounded out from the military compound.
The three heroes, who heard this sound, jerked their bodies as they realized what this sound is.
This is the sound of an enemy attack, and from the looks of it, the attack came from the Ebony River Kingdom!
“Hahaha! At last, it will be now the time for me to fight!” Bai Huangdi declared as he joined Illusion Fang Yu on flying towards the vicinity of the bridge.
As for Veronica, she personally carried Fang Lin as she followed the other two heroes.
After 10 seconds of flying, Veronica and the other heroes reached the place where the battle was brewing.
No, battle is not the right term.
Massacre is the right term.
Instead of seeing an army of enemy soldiers, what Veronica could only see was a lone figure that was fighting the soldiers of the military compound.
This lone figure was a man wielding two swords with his hands.
Veronica felt a shiver in her body as she realized that this figure was an extremely powerful swordsman!
She could not help but feel wary of each sword slash that the lone figure makes.
These sword slashes cleaved through the poor soldiers easily as if they were just butter.
Even the extremely hard armors that the higher-ranked soldiers wore were torn apart like paper under the attack of the lone figure’s sword!
“What a great swordsmanship!” Bai Huangdi exclaimed as she saw the destructive power of this lone figure.
“I do not know why someone like him exists in the Ebony River Kingdom, but I will not pass up this chance to fight him!”
Bai Huangdi’s body suddenly disappeared, and the next thing that Veronica knew, Bai Huangdi was already in front of the lone figure.
The lone figure stopped his massacre as he gave a solemn look at Bai Huangdi.
Upon seeing this, Bai Huangdi looked at the surviving soldiers around him as he said,
“Everyone, this swordsman is too strong for any of you to fight with. Let me be the one to fight him. As for you guys, go and leave this area. Bring all the wounded with you, and make sure that no weak person will approach this place!”
“Roger!” The surviving soldiers hastily said as they quickly gathered their wounded comrades.
Even if Bai Huangdi did not say anything, the surviving solders will still retreat.
After all, a monster like that lone figure is not someone that mere soldiers like them could hope to fight!
Once all the soldiers were gone from the area, Bai Huangdi cricked his neck as he gave the lone figure a provocative look.
He then gave the lone figure the finger as he said,
“Come on sword guy, swing those thin-ass swords at me!”
****************
While Bai Huangdi and Veronica were excited upon seeing this lone figure, Fang Lin experienced a different type of emotion.
What Fang Lin felt was shock, as he was extremely familiar on the identity of this lone figure.
This lone figure was Jiang Chen, the Boundless Sword Dragon, and also one of the Beast God Envoys that Wang Hao has killed!
Illusion Fang Lin was able to see all of the Beast God Envoys before, so Fang Lin was extremely sure that the lone figure that he was seeing in front of him was Jiang Chen himself!
And to add proof to that, Fang Lin could see that this lone figure was extremely good with swords! Only Jiang Chen, who is the Boundless Sword Dragon, could be that good with the sword!
“But why is Jiang Chen here? Didn’t Wang Hao kill him already?” It was at that moment that Fang Lin remembered the things that a Yama Prince must bring to the Final Trial.
Aside from the support of at least one Underworld Minister and a living follower, a Yama Prince must also bring powerful souls with him at the Final Trial.
Fang Lin then remembered Wang Hao boasting out that he captured the souls of the Beast God Envoys that he killed, including the poor Jiang Chen.
“So in that case, Wang Hao brought Jiang Chen’s soul here in the Final Trial…” Fang Lin then perked up as he managed to realized why Wang Hao and the other Yama Princes needed to bring powerful souls with them!
“The souls brought to the Final Trial will turn into the subordinates of the Yama Princes!” This was the only reason that Fang Lin could think of, and it seems right.
Since Wang Hao became a Demon King, he must need some powerful servants with him.
But because Fang Lin arrived late, the only servants that Wang Hao could use was the souls that he brought with him.
Maybe, there is a power given to the Demon Kings like Wang Hao that allows them to give a body to the souls that they brought with them.
And now, Fang Lin was seeing one of these servants in the form of Jiang Chen!
“What the hell is this….” This was the only thing that Fang Lin can say as he reanalyzed the current state of the Final Trial.
First of all, living followers like Fang Lin was given the goal to defeat the Demon Kings.
As for the Demon Kings like Wang Hao, there goal is to unify the Evil Axis Continent, and then conquer the Alliance Continent.
As for the souls brought by the Yama Princes, their only goal seems to be to assist the Demon Kings on their goal.
“This seems unbalanced…”
No matter how Fang Lin looked at it, he felt like the Yama Princes were receiving too much benefits.
And what was worse is that Wang Hao seems to be fully abusing this privilege as he sent a soul of a Godly Divine Beast at this place!
Why could Wang Hao not act a least a little modest?
“What’s the matter General Draco? Are you feeling fine?” Veronica, who noticed the pale look on Fang Lin’s face, approached him as she hid Fang Lin behind her back protectively. “Do not worry, I will protect you from that powerful swordsman!”
“Thank you…” Fang Lin replied as he watched timidly from behind Veronica.
Since Bai Huangdi and Jiang Chen was about to fight, Fang Lin of course will not waste his chance to observe it!
The atmosphere between Bai Huangdi and Jiang Chen became tense as the two sides prepared themselves for the battle.
“Hmm?” Fang Lin suddenly tilted his head as he felt the aura being let out by Jiang Chen.
Fang Lin heaved out a sigh of relief as he felt that Jiang Chen’s cultivation was also that the Third Stage, Tempering Sub-Realm.
“So it was not only the living followers that had their cultivations restricted…” Fang Lin muttered as he stared at Jiang Chen’s body.
“From the looks of it, even the souls that the Yama Princes brought have their cultivation restricted. If that was the case, then…” Fang Lin’s eyes then brightened as he thought,
“The cultivation of the Yama Princes here in the Final Trial is also restricted at the Third Stage!”
This new revelation of course made Fang Lin happy, as before, he thought that the Yama Princes could be at a stage stronger than the Heroes like him and Bai Huangdi.
But the appearance and power of Jiang Chen removed all of Fang Lin’s fears!
“Veronica, who do you think will win the fight?” Fang Lin asked as he stared at Bai Huangdi and Jiang Chen, who were still staring at each other now.
“I actually do not know…” Veronica replied with uncertainty as she looked at Jiang Chen with a grave expression.
“I cannot tell you that much, but Draco, I can tell you that the base power inside that swordsman’s body is equal to Bai Huangdi’s! The winner between them will depend on who among the two of them has the stronger techniques!”
Once Veronica said these words, both Jiang Chen and Bai Huangdi ‘s bodies disappeared.
A second later, and a booming sound appeared as the attacks of Jiang Chen and Bai Huangdi clashed with each other.
Veronica’s body tensed as she realized that the match had already started!
