Chapter 1157 Decisive Betrayal

What is this kid doing?!

Longpo had never fought against Shenhe Song and had only seen Lin Yi use it a few times, but Longpo could clearly sense that special, chilling aura that struck deep into the soul.

That was the unique chilling aura of the Nine Netherworlds found in the Ode to the Divine River.

how come?
Without turning around, Longpo knew perfectly well who was piercing through her body from behind. The reason she didn't turn around wasn't because the Nine Nether Cold Qi was affecting her mobility, nor because a hole in her body was making her feel weak.

She simply refused to believe it, and refused to face it.

That refined and easy-going young man held such a firm belief in justice that even when faced with an opponent far stronger than himself, he showed no cowardice and chose to fight to the death with his life.

His loyalty and righteousness deeply moved the old woman. For his companions, he was willing to give up his own life and fight the enemy regardless of the consequences, just to help his companions have a chance to escape.

This young man was the one whom Luang Phor trusted the most, to the extent that he trusted him even more than his colleagues with whom he had lived for thousands of years.

puff~
The gray-black blade was pulled out from behind Long Po's back. This single blow created a larger wound on Long Po's back, and gushing blood, along with the blade, was torn out by Lin Yi.

This action drained the old woman's strength, causing her already frail body to lose its balance and stagger a few steps on the ground.

"Kid, how dare you!"

The sight of this scene sent shivers down my spine, and I couldn't help but yell out.

He was originally thinking about how to deal with Lin Yi's troubles, but unexpectedly he took the initiative to attack Granny Long.

As Lin Yi had previously said, he was giving the Immortal King's divine power avatar a chance. He intended to use the killing of high-ranking members of Dark Xing as a way to pledge his allegiance to the Immortal King.

On ordinary days, Luang Phor and Zhan Li have many conflicts. As a person who advocates steady development, Luang Phor has always challenged Zhan Li's radical approach. The two have countless disagreements about the future direction of the organization.

Nevertheless, Zhanli understood what role Luang Phor played in the Dark Hing organization and what function he could achieve. He knew that he and Luang Phor were not on the same page and that they would inevitably have more disagreements in the future.

But he never intended for anything to happen to the old woman.

Seeing Lin Yi attack Long Po and betray the Dark Rising Organization, he couldn't suppress his anger. He abandoned his attack on the Immortal King's divine power clone and turned to charge at Lin Yi.

"Hey, you really don't take me seriously at all."

Trembling felt the golden light fill his vision again. In the next instant, all the power in his body was completely drained. His limbs felt as if they had been completely disconnected from his body, and Trembling could no longer feel their existence.

hum~
A sharp whooshing sound came from behind him. Shivering knew that someone was attacking from behind, but unfortunately, he couldn't muster any strength and even turning his head was quite difficult.

Sure enough, the next moment he was prostrate on the ground, his whole body pressed against the earth.

He clearly felt as if someone was stepping on a dead dog, stomping him hard on the ground, making him unable to move an inch.

"Trembling, you think too highly of yourself. What do you mean by 'the strongest in Dark Rising'? Do you really think you're so capable? With your level, there are plenty of gods among us who are stronger than you. We can't even be bothered to bother with you. You really think you're something special? Just lie on the ground like a dog and watch the show with me."

Seeing that Granny Long had been ambushed, Blood Dance and Hunter rushed over and thrust their weapons at Lin Yi.

While Blood Dance and Hunter Sky may not be among the absolute top-tier individuals, they are still top-level powerhouses with A-grade divine power. It would be unrealistic for Divine River Song to confront them head-on.

The [Interlacing Light and Shadow] skill activated instantly, and Lin Yi arrived in front of the Immortal King. Seeing that Lin Yi had fled far away, the two had no intention of continuing the pursuit and hurriedly checked on the Dragon Granny's injuries.

Little did they know that the withdrawal of the Seven Heroes-level combat power would gradually cause the advantage that had been painstakingly built up in the siege of the world boss to gradually disappear.

"Grandma Luang, are you alright?"

Blood Dance supported Long Po's swaying body, while simultaneously channeling the supreme restorative laws and primordial power she possessed into Long Po's body, attempting to repair the hole that pierced through it.

Unfortunately, the chilling power of the Nine Nether River was not so easy to dispel. It had already flowed through Luang Phor's meridians and permeated her entire body, like crisscrossing roots, firmly embedding itself in her body.

To repair the body, this force must be extracted, but doing so is easier said than done.

"That brat actually dared to ambush you, and actually chose to stand on the side of the gods. Does he think that after doing so many things, the Celestial King, with his vengeful nature, would let him off the hook?"

What angered Tracer the most was not Lin Yi's betrayal, but that Lin Yi was not worthy of the high regard that Dragon Lady held for him.

"I didn't expect you to be so ruthless. Judging from this, you have no intention of leaving that old woman any way out. This is quite a pledge of allegiance, but I think that's far from enough to make me trust you. What do you think?"

When the Celestial King's divine avatar spoke these words, it turned its gaze toward the battlefield where the Corpse Kings were being besieged.

Lin Yi's skills are indeed ineffective against high-level gods and powerful individuals with high-level divine power, but they are quite effective against members of the Dark Rising faction whose combat strength is relatively ordinary.

Lin Yi understood the Immortal King's intention simply by looking at him: to reverse the situation on the battlefield.

The Immortal King had expected Lin Yi to hesitate for a moment, but to his surprise, the man before him was much more decisive than he had imagined, rushing towards the battlefield without the slightest hesitation.

Because Lin Yi regained consciousness, the hair-like clones that had fallen to the ground also regained their ability to move. In order to successfully present their pledge of allegiance to the Immortal King, Lin Yi's clones, now able to move again, began to release forbidden spells that covered the entire battlefield.

[The Forbidden Curse: The Land of Death and Silence]

[Type: Active Skills]

[Rank: Ninth Rank]

[Faction: Ice]

[Cost: 100 Mana]

[Singing time: 10 minutes]

[Cooling time: 24 hours]

[Active Effect: Select a target within 100 meters and create a dead zone centered on that target.]

The speed of all existing things within the dead zone will gradually decrease to zero within a short period of time.

[At the same time, all buffs will be reset to zero.]

The speed and duration of the buff reset depend on its distance from the center of the Dead Silence Domain; the closer the distance, the faster the effect triggers.
