Chapter 1271 - Ling Xiao’s Death!
Chapter 1271 Ling Xiao’s Death!
“No! Dad, you promised me! You promised me!” Ling Lan screamed angrily. She loosened her grip on the handle and was about to jump out of the Destruction Devil out of desperation.
“Ling Lan!” Li Lanfeng hurriedly grabbed onto Ling Lan. He turned Ling Lan around to face him and shouted loudly at her face, “Calm down!”
“Lan’er, learn from this battle between Monarch Fury and I. I hope you can one day reach the top and watch over your loved ones from the throne, unlike me…” Ling Xiao turned around and smiled lovingly towards Ling Lan. His eyes filled with endless love.
He almost had everything he wanted in this lifetime. Fame, wealth, power, they all naturally came to him. Soon after indulging in his prime, his brash younger days flew by in a flash. However, all that changed after he met Lan Luofeng. Meeting her… he finally found purpose in his life, and after having a child, he finally understood the meaning of the word ‘responsibility’. During the sixteen years he was trapped in another galaxy, he didn’t have any feelings for any other woman. Ling Xiao’s immense self-control was indeed because of his love for Lan Luofeng, but part of it was also because of their child. He didn’t want his child to be disappointed in him when he came back. He wanted to be a father that his child would be proud of.
After returning and knowing that he had a girl as his child, he was disappointed but rather, he was overjoyed. However, as a girl, who should have been pampered and cared for, Ling Lan grew up enduring difficulties after difficulties, forcing her to be more mature than the children of the same age. She had even helped him protect Lan Luofeng and the Ling family in his stead when it was his job to do so. Other than being joyful, Ling Xiao was also saddened by Ling Lan. His disappearance forced his adorable, beautiful princess, who he should have been protecting, to pretend to be a man who stood at the forefront of everything and protected all of her family and friends behind her.
At that time, Ling Xiao had a burning flame lit in his heart. He wanted to give the child he loved a world where she could roam freely. However, in order to do that, he must stand at a highest peak, not just in skills, but also political power.
It was at that time he began to separate himself from the First Marshal. There would definitely be bloodshed during a power struggle between the two titans, and while doing so, he never planned to tell this to Lan Luofeng or to Ling Lan. They had just endured too much for his absence so he silently endured every problem that came his way. Everytime they asked him how he was doing, he only gave the two women he loved a strong and warm smile.
Originally, he thought he could do it. He thought he could give the women he loved a world like the one in his dreams. However, he could no longer do that now. It wasn’t because he lost, but because he decided it to be so. It was just as he had said. Power and status were both built on the foundation if his feelings and emotions were invested. If those factors that he put his feelings and emotions into were to not exist, then what would be the point of him acquiring power and status?
He didn’t regret coming all this way to save his daughter. He had already made up his mind to give up his life when he was coming here. He only hoped that his sacrifice was beneficial to his family. He hoped his daughter could safely escape the trap and grow up in a safe environment, slowly growing into the king of the galaxy. That way, no one would be able to hold her down and force her to their bidding. She could then freely live the life she wanted.
“Lan’er, Dad loves you. Goodbye!” Ling Xiao said softly. Then, he turned around and charged towards Monarch Fury, who was attempting to drag the 7th Bugle Call into his profound god state’s area of effect.
In the empty void, a gigantic bright and burning phoenix cawed and then ruthlessly crashed into the blue waves.
The red phoenix suddenly began to implode after entering the blue sea. The profound god state energies went out of control. Countless red and blue energies flew out from the explosion and went in all different directions.
“Dad!” Ling Lan shouted with all her might. How could her invincible father, who could never just leave her like that? She couldn’t accept it! She couldn’t!
At the same time, in her mindscape, Little Four was also in sorrow.
He didn’t even get a chance to call him ‘Dad’ face to face. Dad never hugged him, kissed him or even greeted him. How could Dad just leave him like that?
Little Four didn’t want that. He couldn’t accept it. He wouldn’t accept. He would never accept
it.
Ling Lan, who was in great sorrow, didn’t see Little Four’s main body suddenly leave her mindscape. He pounced towards the center of the area of the profound god state energies.
“Ling Xiao! You crazy bastard!” shouted Monarch Fury in agony. He didn’t expect Ling Xiao to self-destruct in the end. Self-destructing would cause mutual destruction and could even destroy this part of the galaxy.
At that moment, on the other side of Destruction Devil, Luo Lang and Xie Yi weren’t as lucky as Li Lanfeng and Ling Lan. Their piloting capabilities were clearly weaker than Ling Lan and Li Lanfeng. Even after putting in all of their effort, they still couldn’t get on board the Destruction Devil.
The explosion from Ling Xiao’s profound god state’s self-destruction, along with the two energies from the two profound god states, were moving towards them wildly. With their speed, there were a few seconds before they were to be devoured by the energy wave coming their way.
Xie Yi, who was behind Luo Lang, looked at Luo Lang with a saddened look on his face. He unsheathed his large sword and turned the sword around. He used the flat surface of the sword and ruthlessly smacked Luo Lang’s mecha.
This force, in addition to Luo Lang’s mecha initial high speeds, pushed Luo Lang’s mecha smash towards the Destruction Devil’s tail area like a beam of light.
Luo Lang was instantly injured from the large shockwave caused by this unexpected shove.
Bang! Luo Lang’s mecha smashed into the Destruction Devil’s tail area. Luo Lang reacted quickly and grabbed the side with one hand. He swallowed the blood in his mouth and looked at Xie Yi, who slowed down even more because of that push. He screamed in sorrow, “Xie Yi!”
Xie Yi knew he couldn’t get out alive. He turned his mecha around and activated his large beam shield. He stood in front of Luo Lang, protecting Luo Lang along with the Destruction Devil that was helping Luo Lang escape.
“Luo Lang, take my hope and continue to live for me!” Xie Yi’s joyful and satisfied smiling face appeared on Luo Lang’s screen.
“Xie Yi! Come back! Come back!” shouted Luo Lang angrily. Two teardrops fell out from his eyes uncontrollably. How could a friend who was always by his side just leave like that? Could he refuse? He would rather fight to the death side by side than to live by himself.
“Did I ever say I like you?” Xie Yi was smiling, but tears were constantly falling from his eyes. If it was possible, he wanted to stay together with the person he loved until the end of his life. He originally didn’t want to tell Luo Lang about his true feelings. However, now, he wanted to be a little selfish. He only wanted to have a tiny special place in Luo Lang’s heart.
“I don’t want to hear it. If you want to tell me, survive and tell me then…” Luo Lang shook his head furiously. At that moment, he didn’t want to listen to anyone. He only wanted Xie Yi to live.
“Goodbye, my love!” Xie Yi cut off the connection between the two mechas. He didn’t want Luo Lang to see him get torn to pieces. Perhaps Luo Lang thinking he just disappeared would be better for him.
The red and blue profound god state energies ruthlessly crashed onto Xie Yi’s large beam shield.
“Hold! If you can hold one more second, then do it,” Xie Yi shouted angrily.
“Let’s do this together.” A shadow suddenly appeared beside Xie Yi.
“Xie’Er!” Xie Yi muttered apologetically, “I’m sorry.” His decision also force Xie’Er to follow him to death’s road.
