Chapter 399: Chapter 399 Asc’s Vow

"I shall leave the Purple Serpent Body with your Snake-man Race, to protect you," Shi Feng said to the Priestess Kaley. "The Purple Serpent Body is equivalent to a Two-star Martial Venerable powerhouse. With it guarding the Snake-man Clan, dealing with Asc, the Dark Elf Clan Prince of One-star Martial Venerate Realm, will be more than enough."

"How grateful we are to you, Lord!" Upon hearing Shi Feng’s words, Kaley’s aged face broke into a visage brimming with joy.

First, with the Purple Serpent Body protecting the Snake-man Race, once Shi Feng departed, the Snake-man Race would still possess the strength to contend against Asc, the scion of the Dark Elf Clan.

Then, there was the significance of having a division of the Snake God’s Purple Serpent Body protecting the territory of the Snake-man Race.

Following that, Shi Feng’s thoughts stirred, and from his little finger, a roar akin to that of a fierce beast suddenly erupted: "Roar!"

In the next instant, a tiny purple snake darted from Shi Feng’s finger and then soared towards the void, quickly transforming into the size of a small hill, coiling in the void.

After the Purple Serpent Body appeared, Shi Feng said to Zi Ya, "I have already issued orders to the Purple Serpent Body; from now on it will heed your commands."

"Mm!" Zi Ya nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Shi Feng!"

"Well, then it’s time for me to go. I believe, after this battle, not only will the Dark Elf Clan be extinguished, but even the various tribes of the desert will no longer have the courage to provoke the Snake-man Race again!" After saying this, Shi Feng’s form moved and shot straight into the void.

"Brother Shi Feng!" Just at that moment, a delicate cry suddenly came from below.

Shi Feng, whose form was soaring upward, halted midair in the void, looking down upon the beautiful, somewhat immature face that was looking up at him: "What is it?" Shi Feng asked.

"You... be careful on your journey!" Zi Ya said, her face showing an increasingly strong sense of reluctance.

"Mm!" Shi Feng nodded, "Oh, right!" He suddenly remembered something, took out a Jade Scroll from his storage ring, placed it between his brows, and inscribed it with his Primordial Soul Power. After a while, Shi Feng tossed the Jade Scroll downward and told Zi Ya, "Catch, girl!"

Watching the Jade Scroll fall from above, Zi Ya reached out her small hand and caught the Jade Scroll in her palm. Immediately afterward, Shi Feng’s voice echoed in Zi Ya’s mind: "You’re cultivating the Thunder Martial Way. I’ve inscribed a Thunder Attribute Sword Technique on it, the first technique of the Heavenly Thunder Sword Technique, the Blocking Style! It’s a defensive move. You should practice it well. Moreover, my Martial Arts Intent remains within it. Ponder it well!"

The voice in Zi Ya’s mind was conveyed by Shi Feng’s Soul Power. When Zi Ya came back to her senses and looked more closely into the void, Shi Feng’s figure had already vanished.

"Brother Shi Feng! Thank you!"

In the desert, a vigorous, tender cry echoed...

...

An empty Underground World, shrouded in darkness, flickered with dark, ghostly fires.

Within the Underground World stood an Underground Palace as tall as a small mountain; around the palace were built exquisitely elegant structures of darkness. However, at this moment, the entire Underground World, including each of those refined and elegant structures, was deathly silent, as if all life within this world had been extinguished.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a dark and startling thunder exploded in this underground dark world, dark thunderlight streaking across the sky, illuminating the Dark Palace above.

In the Dark Palace, an enormous Dark Realm hovered in midair, and upon the Dark Realm, images from a desolate desert flickered. Below the Dark Realm, a dark figure stood, lifting his head to reveal a dark purple, young, delicately sinister, and slightly immature face; if Shi Feng were here, he would surely recognize that this person was the Dark Elf Prince Asc, who had used an ancient artifact, the Puppet Doll, to block a fatal blow.

The dark purple face that Asc lifted was now blurred with tears. The scenes he saw in the Dark Realm were of Elf Clan warriors battling with the Snake-man Clan in the desert.

They were dead, all dead! His mother, the Empress of the Dark Elf Clan, Aisali, was dead! Over two thousand Dark Elf Clan warriors had also perished!

"No! No! No!" Asc watched these scenes with profound grief, his fists clenched tightly as his body shook violently.

Thanks to the ancient artifact, the dark Puppet Doll, his fist that Shi Feng had shattered was now completely unharmed and restored, as were the wounds he had sustained.

But, although his body bore no injuries, the sight of his mother’s death and his kin dying in agony inflicted wounds upon his soul, a hundred times more painful than any physical harm.

"Human Clan! I will kill you! I swear I will kill you! I will use your skulls to memorialize all my deceased kin! Ah!" Asc roared to the heavens, his voice echoing through the Dark Palace, causing the entire edifice to tremble violently with his roar.

"Boom! Boom!"

"Huff... huff..." After his roar, Asc became utterly weak, collapsing to the ground and panting heavily.

At that moment, the Dark Realm that hung in midair also dimmed, the reason for Asc’s feeble state being the colossal energy required to activate the Dark Realm; all the power within him had been expended.

"Your Highness, we...we must leave now, or else when the Human Clan, leading the Snake-man Clan, comes, we will be in trouble!" At that time, a Dark Elf elder with a stooped body and a face full of wrinkles, approached Asc from behind, urgently advising him.

Not far behind Asc, a Dark Light Gate flickered into existence, through which the elderly, women, and children of the Dark Elf Clan were continuously entering, their destination beyond it unknown.

The able-bodied members of the Dark Elf Clan had all gone to the Territory of the Snake-man Clan to fight under the command of Empress Aisali. Once powerful, the Dark Elf Clan had now been reduced to less than a hundred elderly, women, and children.

However, for the Dark Elf Clan, these individuals represented the future hope of their people!

"Let’s go!" Asc bit his teeth fiercely, his voice filled with hate as he still lifted his face, looking at the now darkened Dark Light Mirror. Yet, Asc seemed to still see the face of that evil man reflected in it.

That evil man was not only an enemy of the Dark Elf Clan but also a disgrace to Asc himself!

Following that, Asc suddenly stood up, his aura transformed as if he matured considerably in an instant, and he shouted, "I, Asc! Swear to the deceased of my kin! One day, I will kill this man, wipe out the Snake-man Clan, and avenge the souls of my departed kin!"

His youthful shout echoed long in the Dark Elf Clan’s palace!

Then, Asc turned and walked resolutely towards the Dark Light Gate.
