Chapter 1471 Lord Dui

“interesting…” a voice suddenly rang in their ears.

lin zhong-qing and li yingjie immediately sprung up from their relaxed position and looked around nervously.

they actually didn’t sense an enemy had appeared near them. if the enemy had attacked them without warning, perhaps the two of them would have been two corpses by now.

the two of them felt a bitter taste in their mouths as they looked at each other with resignation.

li yingjie suddenly held lin zhong-qing’s hand and pinched it softly. that pinch was to tell lin zhong-qing that he was going to fight until the bitter end with him. at the same time, that pinch was also done to give them some courage to fight this seemingly unbeatable enemy.

receiving the pinch, lin zhong-qing pinched back. he never expected the person standing beside him when he faced the grim reaper was the annoying li yingjie.

moreover, li yingie gave him strength and courage near their impending doom. this was what comrades were like. perhaps, after these years of being together, he had already acknowledged li yingjie as a comrade and a brother. it was just that he hadn’t realized it yet.

“you guys have a great relationship.” after these joyful words were spoken, a silhouette slowly appeared from the steps at the end of the stairs.

the two of them stared towards that direction with a nervous yet cautious look in their eyes.

“don’t be nervous. i’m just here to ask for directions.” the silhouette walked up slowly. in just a few words, he had already arrived roughly 10 meters in front of them

the owner of the silhouette was around 30 to 40-year-old man with a mild-mannered aura. he was smiling completely free of any worry, as though he was someone walking around leisurely in a park.

lin zhong-qing quickly went through the details of the 13 lords he had memorized in his head and he instantly found the details that matched this man’s looks.

“lord dui!” lin zhong-qing said sternly.

“not bad, little friend.” lord dui laughed with a slight look of admiration in his eyes for a moment.

“hmph!” li yingjie snorted coldly and walked forward to stand in front of lin zhong-qing, blocking off lord dui’s line of sight from seeing lin zhong-qing.

“oh, a feisty one!” lord dui looked at the annoyed little kid with obvious interest. seeing the completely useless show of bravery and camaraderie, he immediately laughed out loud.

from the position they took to face off against him, he quickly realized the kid who stood in front of his friend was the stronger one out of the two. however, no matter how strong he was, in his eyes, he was still an ant waiting to be stomped.

li yingjie stared back at him with seemingly no fear in his eyes. lord dui’s way of looking down on them as though they were children and weaklings really irked him.

lin zhong-qing immediately felt the pressure on his body being lifted just by li yingjie blocking lord dui’s line of sight. those who reached the imperial realm could actually kill with just a look. when lord dui was looking at him, it was as though he was facing against a humongous heaven slicing axe. that single gaze was about to chop down and slice him in half like a piece of log.

without lord dui’s pressure, lin zhong-qing’s brain quickly turned its gears. although most of the thinking in lingtian was done by li lanfeng and han jijyun, lin zhong-qing still controlled the entire lingtian army’s logistics division. and as such, his intelligence was not any worse than the other two.

the fact that lord dui didn’t make a move on them when they hadn’t sensed him really confused him. although the possibility that he was so confident that he didn’t need to ambush them couldn’t be eliminated, the attitude he had afterwards assured lin zhong-qing that lord dui had no intentions of killing them.

“why?” lin zhong-qing stepped forward and stood side by side with li yingjie. he asked with a side tilted head.

li yingjie sent a worried glance at lin zhong-qing. he wanted to tell lin zhong-qing to move back, but in the end, he didn’t make a sound.

“hahaha, very good, very good. lord qian’s kill order still has its worth it seems,” lord dui suddenly laughed maniacally towards the sky.

lin zhong-qing and li yingjie were completely confused by lord dui’s behaviour. wasn’t this person here to kill them? why did he just laugh?

“what is that guy trying to do?” on the roof of the blue hall, a silhouette suddenly appeared and looked down at the scene below him with a frown on his face.

before he could think about it, he looked towards the rainbow palace with a stern look on his face.

“lord kun is actually there… who else is there? they’re actually having such an intense fight with lord kun.”
