Chapter 385: Chapter 385: Prince of the Dark Elf Clan

"Ao!" Earth Fiend looked up at the Dark Giant Sword descending from the void, letting out an angry howl toward the sky. Immediately after, a flash of earthy light erupted from its body. This was the Earth Element Corpse, shining with the light of advancement.

Shi Feng had wanted to intervene once more, to shield Earth Fiend from the Dark Sword coming from the void, but instantly, he saw Earth Fiend’s aura transform drastically. Shi Feng, looking at the earth-yellow figure, cracked a smile and muttered under his breath, "It seems there’s no need for me to do so!"

Beneath Earth Fiend’s howls, suddenly, with Earth Fiend at the center, the dust and sand were swept up into the sky by the unseen Power of Earth, creating a violent sandstorm that resembled a furious twister.

Following that, the sandstorm collecting in the sky quickly coalesced, and in a blink, fused to form a Sand Giant Sword as immense as the one in the void. The violent dust and barren desert calmed abruptly, leaving only the newly formed Sand Giant Sword radiating a formidable force against the descending Dark Giant Sword.

However, the Dark Giant Sword was pointing downward, while this Sand Giant Sword was pointing upward. Then, under the watchful eyes of the Snake-man Race and Dark Elf Clan, the two colossal swords collided with a thunderous crash.

"Boom!" The immense energies collided, echoing a thunderous roar that seemed to shake the heavens and the earth, as if the void itself was about to shatter.

But soon, everyone saw the Dark Giant Sword, under the crushing blow of the Sand Giant Sword, shatter like a sword made of dark glass, its fragments of darkness disappearing quickly into the void.

"How, how could this be? My all-out attack, shattered by this lowly, ugly Human Clan?" Not far away, a Dark Elf woman looked up at the scene in the sky with a face full of disbelief.

Beneath the Sand Giant Sword, Earth Fiend’s face was filled with determination, as it formed an Earth Spear in its hands and pointed it toward the distance with a stab, issuing a low shout, "Kill!"

As Earth Fiend’s command "kill" fell, the Sand Giant Sword in the void instantly tipped over and came slashing down toward the Dark Elf woman still full of disbelief.

"No! How could I, of such nobility, be defeated by the lowly Human Clan!" The Dark Elf woman, witnessing the descending Sand Giant Sword, immediately corrected her expression, lifting her right hand diagonally above her head, focusing all her strength to unleash a potent Dark Light Wave, shooting it from her palm once more toward the Sand Giant Sword that was slashing down from the void.

"Ann Meijia, retreat at once! You will disgrace our Dark Elf Clan!" It was at that moment a cold, young man’s voice rang out from within the Dark Elves.

Then, from among the Dark Elves, a prideful shadow standing beside Empress Aisali shot up into the air and in an instant was hovering above the Dark Elf woman named Ann Meijia. His left hand shot out, blocking Ann Meijia’s Dark Light Wave, while his right hand formed a Sword Finger, pointing it toward the slashing Sand Giant Sword.

"Bang!" The dark figure, infinitesimal compared to the Sand Giant Sword, caused the immense Sand Giant Sword to disintegrate instantly with a flick of his finger, turning into countless grains of sand, cascading toward the desert below, making it seem as though a rain of sand was falling from the sky.

Sand was falling from the sky!

Soon after the fine sand fell, the figures within the Snake-man Race gradually became clearer, and the silhouette hovering above the Dark Elf woman was seen. They beheld a face of dark purple, equally exquisite and breathtaking, youthful, with a touch of immaturity.

"It’s him!" Not far behind Shi Feng, a young girl’s surprised voice rang out. Shi Feng recognized the voice, it belonged to Zi Ya.

Zi Ya was standing on the back of a Two-winged Sand Scorpion, gazing at the distant black figure, her expression complex.

She herself had once saved this person, who was on the brink of death, yet brought a disaster upon her own people. During this time, Zi Ya even blamed herself incessantly.

If she did not have the Purple Serpent Body, if she did not bear her people’s hopes, Zi Ya might have sacrificed herself for her tribe. In the beginning, she didn’t think much of it and even accepted her bleak future fate.

It wasn’t until Priest Kaley came to her and told her that the Snake-man Race could not hand her over to the Dark Elf Clan because she had the Purple Serpent Body sealed within her. She bore the burden of hope for the entire Snake-man Race, who planned to awaken the power of the Purple Serpent Body within her to fight a desperate battle against the Dark Elf Clan.

With Priest Kaley’s reminder, Zi Ya became even more self-reproachful. She knew well the strength and brutality of the Dark Elves, having grown up in the wilderness. If the Snake-man Race went against the Dark Elf Clan’s wishes and engaged in battle, even with the awakened power of the Purple Serpent Body, it would be extremely risky. What Zi Ya feared was not her own risk but the potential annihilation of the entire Snake-man Race if they were defeated.

"Him!" Hearing Zi Ya’s voice behind him, Shi Feng’s gaze became fixed on the Dark Elf youth in the black battle robe before him.

A One-star Martial Venerate of the Dark Elf Clan! He was Empress Aisali’s only son, Asc, and the youngest Martial Venerate among the Dark Elves, the pride of the Dark Elf Clan.

Asc stepped into the Martial Venerable Realm at such a young age not only because he carried the extraordinary bloodline of the Dark Elves but also due to his talent, a rare generational talent within the Dark Elf Clan, seen once in a thousand years.

Asc stood proudly in the Void, his features ice-cold as he sternly commanded the Dark Elf named Ann Meijia below, "Fall back!"

"Yes, Your Highness, the Prince!" Hearing the noble Prince’s cold shout, Ann Meijia quickly bowed and retreated backward.

At that moment, Asc’s icy gaze turned towards the Earth Fiend before him, his right hand coalescing into a dark purple Sword Finger, pointing at the Earth Fiend, once again he sternly shouted, "Perish, scum!"

Suddenly, the area within five meters around the Earth Fiend transformed into darkness. At the center of a sphere of darkness, the Earth Fiend instantly felt an incredibly powerful force squeezing from all directions, the Dark Power surrounding him pressing in, threatening to crush his body and to plunge this region into utter darkness.

"Hmph!" Just then, a cold voice abruptly sounded, and a bone-white light suddenly flared up on the Earth Fiend. Under the shine of the bone-white light, the darkness surrounding the Earth Fiend was devoured. And immediately after, a surprised and pained cry came from behind the Dark Elf Prince Asc, "Ah!"
