Chapter 1226: Still Have a Trump Card
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Platinum Embrace’s attack did not end with the death of the opponent.
He grinned hideously as he threw Teeth of Corrosion’s rotten corpse high into the air. Eight light blades followed him closely, creating a crisscrossing net of light and ruthlessly cutting into the joints of the Teeth of Corrosion’s hands and feet. In a literal sense, he tore this fierce tiger warrior, who had originally been on par with him, into thousands of pieces.
Broken limbs and bloody rain rained down on the remaining fierce tiger warriors.
These fierce tiger warriors were all scared out of their wits and their will to fight was completely gone.
The totem armor of the “Tooth of corrosion”was already corroded by the holy water, revealing its true form and hissing.
Sensing that the activity of their master’s cells had instantly dropped to zero, they could not be more dead. The fragments of the totem armor soaked in the holy water all struggled to turn into small mercury snakes, scrambling to escape from the body parts.
This scene of the fallen tree and the scattered monkeys made the fierce tiger warriors’faces pale, and their psychological defenses completely collapsed.
The few remaining furious lion warriors were overjoyed, and their morale soared.
With the cooperation of the Wolf clan assassins, their momentum was like a rainbow, advancing with great speed. In a moment, they were like chopping melons and vegetables, chopping the fierce tiger warriors to the ground.
The entire process, with many changes, was complicated.
In reality, it was only a matter of a few breaths in a short minute.
In the blood-stained valley, what was still standing was only the heavily injured furious lion warrior who was panting heavily, and the mysterious Wolf clan assassin who was covered in totem armor.
“Damn it, now we have nothing to do.”
Ice storm muttered to herself.
Until now, she still did not fully trust Meng Chao’s judgment.
The main reason was that she could not imagine that “Jackal”kanus had such courage and appetite to turn against both the lion and tiger clans at the same time.
Combined with what she saw, ice storm guessed that “Jackal”kanus should have joined forces with the Lion clan and the Wolf clan under the instruction of “Horn of destruction”Lexa to deal with the Tiger clan.
It was more reasonable for the boss and the third brother to join forces to deal with the second brother.
The third brother was so ambitious that he wanted to kill the boss and the second brother together?
It was too risky.
No, it wasn’t risky. It was simply that he didn’t want to die fast enough.
They had been hiding here all this time because they wanted to see if there was a chance for them to benefit from the conflict.
Since all the fierce tiger warriors, including the teeth of corrosion, had been taken care of, and the furious Lion Warriors and the Wolf clan assassins were on the same side, what chance did they have?
However, the ice storm was secretly glad.
Fortunately, they were careful enough not to expose their existence.
Otherwise, no matter how much combat ability the platinum group had left, the unpredictable Wolf clan assassins alone would be enough to bring them fatal trouble.
However, Meng Chao had a different opinion.
He was still staring at the ‘Platinum Arms’and the Wolf clan assassins below him.
At the same time, he was gesturing in the dark to prepare the ice storm for battle.
“They are not on the same side. The Wolf clan assassins are playing the trick of breaking the enemy one by one. First, they kill the ‘tooth of corrosion’, and then it will definitely be the ‘Platinum Arms’!”
Meng Chao said confidently, “In the fierce battle just now, the Wolf clan assassins all displayed combat ability that was not inferior to that of the fierce tiger warriors.
“The fact that ‘Jackal’kanus has created such a ferocious assassination team is enough to prove his disloyalty.
“Besides, since the assassins of the Wolf clan are so sharp, they should have helped the fierce tiger warriors and the furious Lion Warriors when they were fighting each other. In that case, there would have been fewer casualties on the side of the platinum group.
“However, they waited until both sides were exhausted, including the platinum embrace and the tooth of corrosion, before they jumped out to take advantage of the situation. How could a loyal lackey do such a thing?
“Right now, the platinum embrace has just experienced a life-and-death battle. Although he barely killed his opponent, he has lost too much blood and lacks oxygen in his brain. He hasn’t figured out the reason yet.
“If I give him a little more time, he will definitely notice the strangeness of this team of wolf assassins and doubt the stance and motive of ‘Jackal’kanus.
“And the wolf assassins will definitely not give him time to recover!”
Ice storm was slightly startled. She narrowed her eyes and once again observed the col that was covered with corpses.
As expected, after Meng Chao’s reminder, she also discovered that the wolf assassins were respectful and fearful towards the ‘platinum embrace’on the surface. They all went forward to salute and support him, and they all had a kind look on their faces, they wanted to treat the furious lion warriors who were seriously injured.
However, they still did not take off their totem armor.
At most, they lifted the masks under their helmets.
And from their position, they had also faintly surrounded all the furious lion warriors who were still alive, sealing off every escape route.
“Sure enough!”
Ice Storm’s pupils suddenly constricted. She said anxiously, “The Wolf clan assassins are sure to win. What should we do?”
Meng Chao understood what she meant.
If they wanted to take advantage of the situation, the prerequisite was that the snipe and clam were evenly matched. If they could kill each other, it would be difficult to determine who would win. Only then would there be a chance for a third party to take advantage of the situation.
However, from the looks of it, after throwing out the ultimate move, the last bit of totem power in his body had been completely squeezed out.
After the spear pierced through his chest, his heart and lungs were severely damaged.
He was in a rage just now, so his injuries didn’t have time to affect his combat ability.
Now that he had calmed down, his chest muscles were slightly relaxed. Strands of dark red and black blood were like small snakes that were wriggling along the spiral patterns on the spear. They were spurting out in circles and couldn’t be stopped no matter how hard he tried.
Such a ‘Platinum Embrace’was definitely not an opponent that was meticulously planned, had the advantage of numbers, and had the ‘holy water’, a secret weapon that specialized in countering totem armors, to help the Wolf clan assassins.
Even on the side of the balance of life and death, with the addition of Meng Chao and ice storm, it was likely that they would not be able to change the one-sided outcome.
After all, this was the hinterland of the Wolf clan’s area of control. If Meng Chao and ice storm attacked, they would not be able to quickly end the battle. Instead, if they were to drag things out, they would not only have to face the Wolf clan assassins.., there would also be thousands of soldiers and horses, including the Wolf clan’s heavy troops and the surrendered soldiers of the Great Horn Army.
What should he do?
If he attacked, he might very well attract trouble, and all his previous efforts would be wasted.
If he didn’t attack, the platinum embrace would definitely be killed.
Not only would the direct route to Lexa, the storm of destruction, be cut off, but Meng Chao wouldn’t be able to find out the truth about what had happened in Crimson Gold City through the platinum embrace.
I have to take this risk. It’s worth it
Meng Chao thought quickly and made a decision in an instant, “Things might not be as bad as we thought. After all, our goal is not to eliminate all the Wolf clan assassins. We are just running away with the platinum embrace right under the noses of the Wolf clan assassins!
“From this perspective, the more severely the platinum embrace is injured, the better. If it were not for the fact that he was seriously injured and had no other choice, how could the unparalleled, brutal man obediently follow us, two fellows of unknown origin, and tell us the whole truth
“Of course I know that.”
Ice storm said anxiously, “But –”
“There’s No ‘but’. We definitely have a chance.”
Meng Chao’s eyes flickered. “I bet, no, I’m sure that the platinum’s embrace still has a trump card. He’s still hiding his final battle strength!”
“What?”
Ice storm was greatly shocked.
“Don’t forget, he’s the current Lion King. He’s also the Golden Clan’s chief, the Horn of destruction, Lexa’s most valued younger brother.”
Meng Chao said, “As the strongest clan that has ruled Turanze for thousands of years, the golden clan naturally possesses many powerful and mysterious ancient weapons, totem secret medicines, and the like. They are the kind that can explode in an instant and increase one’s combat strength.
“There’s no reason for the platinum embrace to not bring a few of such good items with it, right?
“However, in the series of fierce battles just now, when did you see the combat strength of the platinum embrace explode to an abnormal level in an instant?”
Icestorm wanted to say something but stopped.
She wanted to say that Meng Chao’s reasoning was too far-fetched.
However, Meng Chao cut her off, he continued, “Also, since the platinum embrace has already fled all the way here, why didn’t he continue to flee and turn back to fight to the death? “Even if his mount died of exhaustion, he still had so many subordinates by his side that could delay the fierce tiger warrior’s pursuit, and he was alone in the Deep Mountains and forests, drilling into the chain of caves. Could it be that someone else could find him?
“Not to mention that high-ranking orcs are fearless warriors who advance without retreat. Since platinum embrace was able to escape all the way from Crimson Gold City to here, it was enough to prove that he was shouldering a mission that was more important than a heroic sacrifice. Otherwise, he could have died in crimson gold city.
“Since he disregarded the honor of a warrior and fled all the way here in a sorry state, but he chose to turn back and fight to the death, it proved that he must have a trump card that was enough to kill the tooth of corrosion.
“However, the value of this trump card is too high, or the price to pay is too high. Unless it’s absolutely necessary, we can’t activate it easily.
“As long as we can remind the platinum embrace to pay attention to the peculiarity of the wolf assassin and stimulate him to play his trump card, we might be able to stir up the water again. Then, we can take advantage of the situation and leave!”
