Nine Realms Sword Emperor

Chapter 1967: Chapter 1970: Took the Bait

"I will find a way to lure him out, and when the time comes, you and I will join forces to kill Lan Ming."

Chu Fengmian spoke coldly.

"I will confine the space so that no information gets out. When Lan Ming is blasted to pieces, the Sea Sacrificial Sect won’t know it was us."

"If we lure him out of the Sea Sacrificial Sect, dealing with him shouldn’t be difficult."

The Mad Dragon Emperor nodded.

If Chu Fengmian wanted to rush into the Sea Sacrificial Sect to kill Lan Ming, the Mad Dragon Emperor would have to persuade Chu Fengmian otherwise.

After all, he had heard of the Sea Sacrificial Sect’s power.

Even as a Heavenly Human Realm powerhouse, the Mad Dragon Emperor had no plans to breach the Sea Sacrificial Sect, fearing he might not return if he did.

However, if Lan Ming was outside the Sea Sacrificial Sect, killing him wouldn’t be much of a problem.

Lan Ming is alone, and even if his strength is at the threshold of the Heavenly Human Realm, he isn’t a match for the Mad Dragon Emperor, a true Heavenly Human Realm powerhouse.

Furthermore, with Chu Fengmian teaming up, the two of them have over ninety percent confidence in dealing with Lan Ming.

"Alright, Dragon Emperor, hide first. I’ll lure Lan Ming over."

Chu Fengmian said.

The Mad Dragon Emperor nodded, his figure flickered and gradually hid behind Chu Fengmian.

With his strength, when he deliberately hides, even Chu Fengmian could hardly detect the Mad Dragon Emperor’s presence.

"Alright, the two of you should stop struggling. I’ll lure Lan Ming over."

Chu Fengmian looked at Princess Hai and Qi Yangshi. Suddenly, with a movement of his palm, he captured them both, holding them as if he grabbed them entirely.

At the same time, a compass appeared in Chu Fengmian’s hand, the same compass given by Wu Jue when leaving the Sacrificial Pavilion.

This compass has the ability to communicate with Lan Ming.

Chu Fengmian injected a surge of spiritual power into it and spoke out.

"Lan Ming, I’ve captured the people you want. Come now and lift my restriction, and I’ll hand these two over to you!"

Chu Fengmian believed that on the other side, Lan Ming was capable of hearing this voice.

As expected, the moment after Chu Fengmian spoke, an angry shout emerged from the compass.

"Impudent! Brat, do you dare bargain with me? You’re courting death! Tell me where you are, and be obedient, and I might spare your life. Otherwise, I’ll activate the restriction, and you will die!"

The voice transmitted from the compass carried immense authority, high and mighty, full of threat.

"Is that so? You can kill me with the restriction, but you’ll never get the people you’re looking for. No need for nonsense; agree to lift the restriction on me, and I’ll tell you where I am."

Chu Fengmian sneered repeatedly, bargaining with Lan Ming with a slightly threatening tone.

The words coming from the compass were evidently filled with boundless anger from Lan Ming.

"You, impudent, do you dare to threaten me?"

"Humph, wasn’t it a threat when you forcibly subdued me? If you don’t agree now, I’ll release these two. Anyway, a death would be a relief."

Chu Fengmian laughed coldly, utterly disregarding Lan Ming’s anger.

"You, such a bold little guy, dare to threaten me? Do you think I, Lan Ming, am too lenient, letting even a little guy recklessly threaten me? Die!"

Rumble!

Suddenly, the compass exploded, and a figure materialized from its center.

This figure was Lan Ming.

The compass seemed to contain a teleportation array, allowing Lan Ming to cross thousands of miles through it.

"Gotcha!"

Chu Fengmian saw Lan Ming’s figure appear, and a sly smile crossed his lips.

He had long seen that there was a teleportation array hidden within the compass, although deeply concealed, it couldn’t escape Chu Fengmian’s eyes.

Chu Fengmian’s bargaining was merely to lure Lan Ming out.

Being of an elevated status within the Sea Sacrificial Sect, Lan Ming’s arrogance couldn’t tolerate the provocation from a "mortal" like Chu Fengmian.

After being provoked by Chu Fengmian, Lan Ming teleported over directly via the compass.

"Brat, do you dare to threaten me? I will let you die in utmost agony!"

Lan Ming, his form consolidated, looked directly at Chu Fengmian, eyes filled with endless wrath. Suddenly, he waved his large hand, seemingly activating the restriction on Chu Fengmian to make him suffer earthly torments.

Yet in that moment, Lan Ming’s expression suddenly shifted.

Because he sensed that the restriction he planted in Chu Fengmian’s Dao Heart had vanished.

"What now? Lan Ming, you want to kill me? Too bad today is your death day!"

Chu Fengmian laughed aloud, suddenly speaking.

"Dragon Emperor, strike!"

"Alright!"

The Mad Dragon Emperor’s figure appeared from behind Chu Fengmian. A colossal dragon claw suddenly struck forward towards Lan Ming.

This sudden change caught Lan Ming completely off guard; especially when the power from the Mad Dragon Emperor’s attack, which was truly of a Heavenly Human Realm warrior, was unleashed.

Lan Ming, always arrogant and dismissive of Chu Fengmian, considered any schemes insignificant.

But never did he expect a Heavenly Human Realm powerhouse to attack him suddenly.

"Who is the senior? I am an elder of the Sea Sacrificial Sect. Regardless of what benefits this brat promised you, do not deceive yourself. Daring to attack me is challenging the entire Sea Sacrificial Sect!"

Lan Ming urgently gathered his strength to defend himself, shouting loudly.

"The Sea Sacrificial Sect? Nothing much. By killing you, I want to see if the old folks of the Sea Sacrificial Sect would dare to oppose this Emperor!"

The Mad Dragon Emperor chuckled coldly. He had reservations about the Sea Sacrificial Sect but wasn’t afraid of Lan Ming’s threats.

Moreover, by killing Lan Ming today, the Sea Sacrificial Sect might not even know it was him.

Rumble!

The Mad Dragon Emperor transformed into his true form, with each dragon claw striking down.

Even with Lan Ming’s strength, he found himself defenseless and struggling under the incessant attacks from the Mad Dragon Emperor.

"Damn it!"

Lan Ming’s expression changed drastically, realizing that Chu Fengmian and the Mad Dragon Emperor were determined to kill him, disregarding the Sea Sacrificial Sect’s threats.

All of his power exploded, and his figure vanished without a trace.

"He’s trying to escape!"

The Mad Dragon Emperor shouted.

Even though he could kill Lan Ming, if Lan Ming was determined to escape, it would be hard for the Mad Dragon Emperor to stop him alone.
