Chapter 387: Chapter 387: Asc’s Reluctance

Asc’s Dark Light Wave swiftly struck, but during this time, Shi Feng still kept his hands clasped behind his back, unmoved, until the Dark Light Wave was about to reach him. It was only then that a Blood-colored Blaze ignited before Shi Feng, quickly condensing into a human-sized Blood Flame Shield, which he placed in front of himself.

The incoming Dark Light Wave immediately crashed onto the Blood Flame Shield before Shi Feng, and the Blood-colored Blaze completely blocked the Dark Light Wave.

Under the illumination of the Blood Flame’s light, Shi Feng’s face turned a deep red as he coldly and disdainfully spoke to Asc, who was rapidly approaching with his fist still releasing a strong Dark Light Wave, "Fool, do you really dare to fight me?"

"Ah!" Seeing his attack blocked and hearing Shi Feng’s insulting words, Asc’s already furious emotions became even more violent.

Fool! This despicable Human Clan, daring to insult his honorable self, who had been labeled a genius since childhood and called a rare unparalleled genius of the Dark Elf Clan by his people, as a fool!

In a fit of rage, Asc suddenly roared again, pulling back his right fist, stopping the Dark Light Wave’s momentum, and then fiercely thrusting his right fist forward again. He unleashed a Dark Fist Mark, as massive as a small mountain, and furiously charged towards Shi Feng, intending to smash him into bits!

"Is that all the strength a weakling has? If so, you’d better die!" Shi Feng spoke calmly, his right hand forming a Sword Finger and pointing forward.

The Blood Flame Shield that was blazing before Shi Feng started to surge and change shape—transforming into a Blood-colored Fiery Flames Long Sword. Driven by Shi Feng’s Sword Finger, it shot towards the massive Dark Fist Mark barreling towards him.

The two energies collided rapidly and at that moment, Shi Feng still maintained his calm demeanor. However, Asc, the Dark Elf Prince, suddenly had a drastic change in expression. He watched, wide-eyed, as his all-out Dark Fist Mark rapidly dissolved under the impact of the Blood-colored Fiery Flames Long Sword.

And the Blood-colored Fiery Flames Long Sword continued to pierce through the Void swiftly, stabbing towards Asc!

"No! No! How is this possible! I don’t believe it, I refuse to believe it! A lowly Human Clan member, just a youth as well, not much older than me, how could he be stronger than me? I am the unparalleled genius of the powerful Dark Elf Clan! I am the rare unparalleled genius the Dark Elf Clan encounters once in a millennium. How could I lose? How!"

Asc’s face became more and more ferocious, his originally delicate and eerie face now twisted as if it was no different from a dark purple beast. His right fist tightly clenched, emanating a strong Dark Light, his body trembling continuously. He threw a punch towards the incoming Blood-colored Fiery Flames Long Sword, shouting, "I don’t believe it!"

Asc still roared furiously.

"Overestimating your abilities!" Watching the crazed Asc, watching his fist about to collide with the Blood-colored Fiery Flames Long Sword, Shi Feng disdainfully snorted.

"Ah!" Immediately after, a scream of intense pain erupted from Asc’s fierce face as the Blood-colored Fiery Flames Long Sword collided with Asc’s right fist, which was flickering with a strong Dark Light Wave. Asc’s right fist instantly burst under the power of the Blood-colored Fiery Flames Long Sword, and dark purple blood suddenly sprayed like a fountain from the wrist of his now-severed hand.

And at that moment, the Blood-colored Fiery Flames Long Sword that shattered Asc’s right fist pierced directly into Asc’s chest and violently penetrated his body, coming out of his back.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Asc cried out to the sky, screams of unwillingness, pain, and agony. But no matter how unwilling, painful, or agonizing the screams were, they could not change the outcome of his fate. The Fiery Flames Long Sword that entered his body instantly turned into violent Blood-colored Blaze, beginning to spread throughout his entire body.

Soon, Asc, like the Dark Elf woman before him, was enveloped in blood-colored blaze, transforming into a Blood-colored Fire Man.

"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!" Instantly, both the Snake-man Race and the Dark Elf Clan gasped in astonishment. Asc, a prince of the Dark Elf Clan, a prodigy of his race, had already become famous across the desert races for his strength and talent. Yet, no one had expected that such a formidable Asc would be defeated by a Human Clan member, and it was a crushing defeat.

They saw that throughout the battle, the Human Clan member had not even exerted his full strength against Asc, treating the confrontation as if it were as trivial as playing with a child.

Just how powerful was this Human Clan member!

"This Human Clan member is so young yet possesses such power; his future achievements are unimaginable. If we do not kill him, my Dark Elf Clan will never have peace!" said an elder with a dark purple, furrowed face from the Dark Elf Clan, speaking once again to Empress Aisali beside him.

Upon hearing the elder’s words, Aisali nodded in agreement. "Indeed, I wasn’t wrong about him; he indeed poses a threat to my power. Perhaps it’s time we brought out the Ancestral Artifact that our clan hasn’t used for many years."

"Yes! Today we must eradicate this young man of the Human Clan!"

..

"Powerful, so powerful! Lord Messenger, to think you possess such might! With Lord Messenger here, what does the Dark Elf Clan have to fear!" exclaimed Oba, the robust Snake-man Clansman who had spread news across the desert the night before, now laughing heartily upon witnessing Shi Feng’s show of divine might.

Then, Priestess Kaley, seizing the moment, shouted down to the Snake-man Clan Warriors: "Clan members, do you see? This powerful Human is none other than the Messenger guided invisibly by our serpent ancestry! As prophesied by our ancient ancestors, with the Messenger’s arrival to our clan, the return of the Snake God to this world is imminent!"

"What! So this great person is the Messenger guided by the Snake God!"

"So he is the Messenger from the Snake God, no wonder he is so powerful!"

"The Messenger has come to our clan, the return of the Snake God to this world is imminent!"

"Long live the Messenger!"

"Long live Lord Messenger!"

"Long live Lord Messenger!"

Kaley, being the Priest of the Snake-man Clan, held a revered position within her clan; naturally, no one doubted her words. Moreover, they deeply believed, and were even more willing to believe, that the reason this Human was so powerful was that he was the great Messenger guided by the Snake God.

At this moment, the morale of the Snake-man Clan Warriors, having witnessed Shi Feng’s power and heard Kaley’s words, soared even higher than when they had initially set out from the city! Each of them became even more exhilarated!
