Clan Prosperity Starting With My Servant Girls-Chapter 289: Absolute Despair

"What are you doing?" Huo Fei Li said to the Dark Lord while he pushed Lu Ting to the back.

She shook her head at him and tugged on his sleeve, wanting to pull him along with her.

But Huo Fei Li stood where he was and he moved his other hand to the handle of his sword.

There was no time for words.

Things were moving fast with the Dark Lord approaching with a cold stare.

Sing.

Huo Fei Li drew out his sword and pointed it at the Dark Lord.

The temperature in the surroundings dropped with the blade of the sword giving out a cold glare.

His men also drew out their swords and stepped forward.

The Dark Lord was unfazed by them and he stretched out his arms, as if he was inviting them to attack.

Roar.

Huo Fei Li’s men gave out a roar and they lunged at him.

Two of them slashed their swords at his legs while two of them leaped and attacked from the air.

Their swords shot out slicing waves at the Dark Lord from all angles.

If the Dark Lord blocked the slicing waves coming for his legs, he would be hit by those coming from the air.

This was how the Huo Family Sword Formation worked.

Attacking and giving their opponents no chance of escape.

Unfortunately, although it worked for most, their opponent this time was the Dark Lord.

Dark glow emerged from the Dark Lord’s arms and legs.

They engulfed his body within a moment.

He didn’t even flinch when the slicing waves from the swords hit.

Then, there was nothing but silence.

The slicing waves got absorbed by the dark glow.

"What the hell..." Huo Fei Li’s men couldn’t believe what they saw but they didn’t stop.

All of them started moving and encircled the Dark Lord.

But the Dark Lord shook his head and it was his turn.

He swung his arm around and the dark glow that was engulfing his body extended out like a whip.

It whipped at Huo Fei Li’s men.

Clank!

They wielded their swords at the dark glow but once the blades of their swords came into contact with the dark glow, the blades broke into pieces.

"Impossible!" One of them shouted when he glanced onto the ground at the remnants of his sword.

Their swords were forged with the best material the Huo Family could afford.

And it was the first time that their swords couldn’t even withstand a single hit from their opponent.

"Master run!" They knew the situation was dire and they shouted at Huo Fei Li.

Huo Fei Li froze at what he had just witnessed.

It was the first time he saw someone that could defeat the Huo Family Sword Formation with just a move.

"Fei Li, run!" But he snapped out of it when he heard Lu Ting’s voice shouting at him.

He glanced at Lu Ting and then at the Dark Lord.

The Dark Lord had raised his hands and the dark glow surrounding his body extended up into the air, and it separated into fine strands of dark glow.

The strands of dark glow darted downwards and plunged into the bodies of his men like a hot knife into butter.

Splatter.

The bodies of his men offered no resistance to the strands of dark glow that had rained down onto them.

Blood spurted out from their wounds when the strands of dark glow retracted.

Huo Fei Li’s men dropped to the ground on their knees and they struggled to get back up on their feet.

But it was futile, they thrashed around suddenly before falling flat on their faces.

And after they lay motionlessly on the ground, worms wriggled out from the wounds towards the Dark Lord.

The Dark Lord brushed his black long hair and glanced at Huo Fei Li.

"So, are you ready to do what you’ve said in your speech? Now is the time to show your resolve." He said and gave Huo Fei Li a cold smile.

Huo Fei Li saw what happened to his men and the magnitude of the situation hit him.

His father had always told him that it was dangerous out there to be a cultivator.

Never be arrogant as you will never know who you meet with.

And today, it came true for Huo Fei Li.

His men that were tasked to protect him were all at the final stage of the Qi Concentration Level.

Not that many could be a match to them unless they were at Foundation Establishment level.

And this strange man in a dark robe was able to take them down within a few moments.

Every sense of his was telling him that he had to escape with any means possible to stay alive from the strange man in dark robe.

But when he glanced at Lu Ting’s face with her worried eyes, he knew he couldn’t be like a coward.

When Lu Ting saw his eyes change with determination, she pulled harder at his sleeve.

He shook his head at her.

Huo Fei Li would ensure that she could at least escape unscathed from the strange man.

He wasn’t sure whether it was due to the words from the strange man or whether he felt that it was his duty as her fiance, but there wasn’t much of a choice for him.

The Dark Lord saw what was going on and when Huo Fei Li glanced at him with a determined face and he nodded approvingly at him.

"There might still be hope for the Da Qian Dynasty..." The Dark Lord gave out a long sigh and took a step forward.

Lu Ting felt her heart sink when she saw it and she desperately rubbed her thumb ring again.

"Come on... help me..." Ghost Hands Fong had helped her escape from death and she hoped that it would still be possible this time.

All the little quibbles she had with Ghost Hands Fong didn’t seem to be so important anymore.

What mattered now was to be able to escape from certain death.

Silence.

There was no response from Ghost Hands Fong, she was in despair when she saw the Dark Lord raise his hands at them.
