Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 930 - 82: A Battle for Love (Part 1)

Three days later, at the training ground of Beidou Martial Arts Academy, Dugu Xiu wore the golden Nine Dragon Robe. The Emperor of Post Qin was dead, and after the seven-day mourning period, Dugu Xiu would inherit the throne.

He sat arrogantly in the main seat, with Director Song and Hei Linlin flanking him on either side. When Yun Sheng was brought out, Director Song glanced at Dugu Xiu. Seeing his indifferent expression, Director Song relaxed and withdrew his gaze.

Three days prior, under Hei Linlin’s persuasion, Director Song recalled Yun Sheng’s formidable strength shown earlier and decided that this time, they would capture Ye Beiming in one swift move. In the ensuing chaos, Hei Linlin would seize the opportunity to kill Yun Sheng.

Today, at Beidou Martial Arts Academy, the place was heavily guarded with ambushes everywhere. No matter how much support Ye Beiming brought, he would have no chance of escape.

As time passed second by second, Yun Sheng was escorted to the center of the training ground.

Approaching the afternoon, the scorching sun in the sky was blinding.

Yun Sheng was dressed in a thin prisoner’s robe, and the sun’s rays burned her skin fiercely.

The sand in the Time Hourglass slowly trickled away, yet Ye Beiming had not shown up.

"It’s almost noon, why hasn’t Ye Beiming appeared? Could it be he’s not coming?" Director Song wondered suspiciously.

"Impossible, he will definitely come," Dugu Xiu stared at Yun Sheng.

"No matter if he comes or not, once the hour arrives, proceed with the execution," Hei Linlin thought with a hint of relief, if Ye Beiming didn’t come, did it mean he didn’t really love this woman after all?

Dugu Xiu glanced at Yun Sheng out of the corner of his eye.

Since being brought to the execution ground, Yun Sheng had been hanging her head. The mark of the Silver Snake was gone from her arm, and Dugu Xiu felt a sense of sudden loss in his heart.

Noon finally arrived.

Ye Beiming still hadn’t appeared, and Dugu Xiu’s hand involuntarily clenched, his palm slippery with sweat.

His gaze fell upon Yun Sheng.

That day, in a drunken stupor, Dugu Xiu had managed to lift the Soul Dreaming from Yun Sheng, yet his face remained unreadable, so he used the excuse of drinking to vent his feelings.

He intended to give up, but who would have thought that despite his intent, the thought of Yun Sheng possibly dying still made him inexplicably care.

Dugu Xiu silently chanted in his heart, Ye Beiming, why haven’t you come?

Could it be that you’re afraid?

Once Ye Beiming arrived, he would be captured by Director Song and taken back to the Bahuang Continent to marry Hei Linlin.

Ye Beiming, if you don’t come today, even if I have to storm Great Zhou, I will kill you, you cowardly turtle.

Dugu Xiu could not help but feel a bit anxious.

"Noon has arrived, Ye Beiming hasn’t shown up, it’s time for the execution. I’ll do it myself," Hei Linlin couldn’t wait to execute Yun Sheng. She quickly stepped forward.

"Wait a little longer," Dugu Xiu stared at Yun Sheng with a complicated gaze, mixed with a trace of hatred and urgency.

"Xiu’er, there’s no need to wait any longer. The news of Yun Sheng’s execution hasn’t been spread. Someone must die today," Director Song stepped forward, blocking Dugu Xiu.

Hei Linlin stood in front of Yun Sheng, cooing, "Yun Sheng, are you disappointed that Ye Beiming didn’t come to rescue you? It’s no surprise. He’s now the Regent King of Great Zhou, with the country within his grasp. Why should he sacrifice himself for you, a lowly Heavenly Fox Mixed Blood? Don’t worry, seeing as we are both members of the Bahuang Tribe, I, Hei Linlin, will personally send you on your way today."

Beside her, the executioner promptly handed over an Execution Blade.

Hei Linlin sneered. With just a pinch between her index and middle fingers, the Execution Blade, over an inch thick, snapped in half at the waist.

In Hei Linlin’s hand, with a sudden flourish, it was like a fire had ignited. In her palm appeared a fierce saber formed from fighting energy.

The blade surged with fighting energy like raging waves, capable of devouring all life.

Hei Linlin stared at Yun Sheng’s neck, as white as jade sculpture, and a flash of malice flickered in her eyes.

She raised the Fighting Energy Saber.

"Hold on, I have something to say to her," Dugu Xiu glanced at Director Song, "Master, she is ultimately someone the disciple once loved deeply. I wish to say a few words to her before she dies."

Director Song looked up at the sun; it was already noon, and there was no disturbance around.

Why hadn’t Ye Beiming come?

Could it be that the boy had gotten some wind of news, or perhaps he too knew that Yun Sheng was a Heavenly Fox Descendant, and dared not go against tribal rules, thus abandoning her?

Director Song nodded, and Hei Linlin reluctantly stepped aside.

Dugu Xiu approached Yun Sheng, kneeling down to be at eye level with her.

Due to the sun’s intense heat, Yun Sheng’s fair face was covered in a fine layer of sweat, her dark eyes remaining as calm as ever.

"He won’t come, are you resentful?" Dugu Xiu’s fingers brushed over Yun Sheng’s damp forehead.

"I trust him," Yun Sheng smiled radiantly, her dimples exceptionally beautiful.

"You’re foolish even at the brink of death," Dugu Xiu chuckled bitterly, suddenly embracing Yun Sheng. Yun Sheng tensed but her hands were bound, leaving her unable to break free at the moment.

She felt a hard, circular object in her hands all of a sudden.

Beast Language Ring!

Yun Sheng ceased struggling.

Due to Dugu Xiu’s covering, neither Hei Linlin nor Director Song in the distance noticed Dugu Xiu’s actions, much less did they know that Yun Sheng was gradually putting on the Summoning Ring.

"Dugu Xiu, haven’t you said enough?" Hei Linlin grew impatient.

"What’s the rush? I’ve kept this woman locked up for so long, without even touching a single finger of hers. Would you be content in my place?" Dugu Xiu switched to a cold tone.

He gazed at Yun Sheng’s lips, plump and crimson like a juicy cherry, inviting crime at sight, sweet and tempting.

Dugu Xiu’s lips curved. He had wanted to kiss her for a long time, and this time, he would have his fill.

He leaned in to kiss her. Seeing Dugu Xiu’s breath drawing close, Yun Sheng hastened her movements, trying to slip the Beast Language Ring onto her hand.

She chanted in her heart, damn Ye Beiming, still not coming!

Almost simultaneously, a rumble sounded in the sky, and a purple lightning bolt tore through the long sky.

In the blink of an eye, the azure sky was covered with rolling dark clouds, as if the raging seas.

The sky seemed to transform into a vast ocean.

The clouds were like water, the sky like a stormy sea.

As the purple lightning flashed across, the sky appeared as if slashed with a blade, leaving a two-feet-wide, dozens of feet long fissure.

From the fissure, a black-clad man emerged, his copper-toned skin glistening like metal against the dark cloth.

He possessed a pair of captivating phoenix eyes, a high nose bridge, and lips as sharp as a blade’s edge.

In his hands were two Fighting Energy Short Daggers, his gaze proud and commanding as he looked down on everyone at the training ground, "Dugu Xiu, that woman, every inch of her, belongs to me, the King, how dare you touch her!"
