NOVPUBChapter 1089: Chapter 923 Curtain Falls Chapter 1089: Chapter 923 Curtain Falls “No! Why won’t you accept my surrender? I’m earnestly surrendering! I am a higher-level Saint King! I have countless treasures, all of which I can offer to you!” Hearing Lin Yun’s words, the entire body of the higher-level Saint King jolted as if he did not expect such a turn of events. After all, he was a higher-level Saint King, a top-notch, super important figure even in the outside world. Who could possibly refuse the surrender and loyalty of a higher-level Saint King?
Straightaway, his body felt as if it had plunged into an ice cellar, and he shouted in sheer terror.
At that moment, he had no concern for his dignity.
At that moment, he had only one thought: to survive.
“Boom! Boom!”
However, his pleas were answered only by the assaults of the Blood Prison Sword, strike after strike. Every slash drained him of his life force, and he was unable to dodge any of them.
In an instant, after one sword slash, the body of this higher-level Saint King was completely annihilated.
Thus, another higher-level Saint King fell!
“Lingyu Saint King is dead! Lingyu Saint King is dead!”
“So fast, it happened so fast…”
“Just now, Lingyu Saint King begged for mercy, and he was not spared…”
Far away, Saint Kings fleeing in panic saw this scene and spoke in utter shock.
In such a short time, two higher-level Saint Kings had fallen, the latter even faster than the former. If they had been the ones pursued just now, they would surely have met an undeniable death as well.
In particular, Lin Yun’s refusal to accept the surrender, his ruthless killing, had alarmed them further.
“Flee! Flee! Flee!”
They fled in a frenzy.
“We’re almost out! We’re almost out!”
Before long, one Saint King saw a glimmer of hope and spoke with euphoria.
“We’re going to make it out! We’re going to make it out!”
The other Saint Kings also expressed their excitement.
The boundary of the universe was just ahead of them. As long as they could get through, they would be out.
“He’s too far from us to catch up now!”
“Based on his speed just now, he shouldn’t be able to catch up to me before I get through the boundary. I’m safe!”
Each Saint King thought excitedly to themselves.
Once they left this universe, they would be safe.
The reason why that human youth was so powerful was because of the various powers that were enhanced within this universe.
Once they left this universe, it wasn’t certain who would kill whom.
“It seems that this human youth won’t be able to kill them all…”
At the universe’s core, Qingshang Saint King saw this scene and felt a touch of complexity in his mood as he spoke softly.
Seven Saint Kings of no low tiers entered, and in the end, only four mid-level Saint Kings escaped. The remaining two higher-level Saint Kings perished, and one Peak Saint King surrendered. It was a complete defeat; a truly pitiful sight.
If only these Saint Kings had not fled at the start, perhaps they wouldn’t have met such a tragic end.
Now, one wonders whether the two fallen higher-level Saint Kings had any regrets at the moment of their death?
The collapse of the situation was largely due to those two higher-level Saint Kings. The strength of one higher-level Saint King was at least comparable to that of two or three mid-level Saint Kings acting together. If those two had been resolute and not fled, the three higher-order Saint Kings could have possibly fought this human youth together or at least retreated with composure.
Who would have thought that the human youth would first pursue those two higher-level Saint Kings, who all ended up dead, with not a single one escaping?
Even begging for mercy did not work.
At this time, Qingshang Saint King wasn’t sure whether to feel fortunate or something else.
Now it seems that being actively recruited by the young human should be considered an honor.
Or perhaps it was because he had already recruited him earlier that the youth paid no heed to Mingyu Saint King’s surrender.
“I no longer need you.”
Qingshang Saint King still remembered these words from Lin Yun.
Because he had someone better, he no longer needed the others.
However, had Mingyu Saint King and Returning Crow Saint King surrendered first, what would the outcome have been?
Would the human youth then have chosen one or both of Mingyu Saint King and Returning Crow Saint King and ultimately given up on him?
“Die!”
Just then, at the boundary of the universe, a cold, light shout resonated.
“What?”
Qingshang Saint King looked up in astonishment.
Clearly, at that moment, the human youth shouldn’t have been able to be at another point of the universe’s boundary. Why was his voice heard there?
“Not good!”
“How could this happen!”
At the universe boundary, a mid-level Saint King happily approaching the boundary suddenly heard this voice and his expression turned pale with fright.
This voice was unmistakably that of the human youth.
But how had the youth managed to catch up over such a distance?
“Boom!”
Before he had time to comprehend the situation, a powerful attack hit him square on. In his eagerness to escape quickly, especially since he was close to leaving the universe, he had let down his guard and dropped his defenses. His body was immediately shattered by the fierce strike.
“Boom~Boom~”
One devastating attack after another landed on him just as his body began to pull itself together, blasting him apart again and again, each time stripping away vast amounts of his life force.
“That is—”
“What’s going on? There are two of the human youth… twins?”
Far away, the other Saint Kings who saw this were shocked.
On the battlefield, a black-clad youth was striking at one of the mid-level Saint Kings among them, and he looked exactly like the human youth who had just been fighting against them.
