Chapter 1271-1280

Chapter 1271 Ling Xiao’s Death!

“No! Dad, you promised me! You promised me!” Ling Lan screamed angrily. She loosened her grip on the handle and was about to jump out of the Destruction Devil out of desperation.

“Ling Lan!” Li Lanfeng hurriedly grabbed onto Ling Lan. He turned Ling Lan around to face him and shouted loudly at her face, “Calm down!”

“Lan’er, learn from this battle between Monarch Fury and I. I hope you can one day reach the top and watch over your loved ones from the throne, unlike me…” Ling Xiao turned around and smiled lovingly towards Ling Lan. His eyes filled with endless love.

He almost had everything he wanted in this lifetime. Fame, wealth, power, they all naturally came to him. Soon after indulging in his prime, his brash younger days flew by in a flash. However, all that changed after he met Lan Luofeng. Meeting her… he finally found purpose in his life, and after having a child, he finally understood the meaning of the word ‘responsibility’. During the sixteen years he was trapped in another galaxy, he didn’t have any feelings for any other woman. Ling Xiao’s immense self-control was indeed because of his love for Lan Luofeng, but part of it was also because of their child. He didn’t want his child to be disappointed in him when he came back. He wanted to be a father that his child would be proud of.

After returning and knowing that he had a girl as his child, he was disappointed but rather, he was overjoyed. However, as a girl, who should have been pampered and cared for, Ling Lan grew up enduring difficulties after difficulties, forcing her to be more mature than the children of the same age. She had even helped him protect Lan Luofeng and the Ling family in his stead when it was his job to do so. Other than being joyful, Ling Xiao was also saddened by Ling Lan. His disappearance forced his adorable, beautiful princess, who he should have been protecting, to pretend to be a man who stood at the forefront of everything and protected all of her family and friends behind her.

At that time, Ling Xiao had a burning flame lit in his heart. He wanted to give the child he loved a world where she could roam freely. However, in order to do that, he must stand at a highest peak, not just in skills, but also political power.

It was at that time he began to separate himself from the First Marshal. There would definitely be bloodshed during a power struggle between the two titans, and while doing so, he never planned to tell this to Lan Luofeng or to Ling Lan. They had just endured too much for his absence so he silently endured every problem that came his way. Everytime they asked him how he was doing, he only gave the two women he loved a strong and warm smile.

Originally, he thought he could do it. He thought he could give the women he loved a world like the one in his dreams. However, he could no longer do that now. It wasn’t because he lost, but because he decided it to be so. It was just as he had said. Power and status were both built on the foundation if his feelings and emotions were invested. If those factors that he put his feelings and emotions into were to not exist, then what would be the point of him acquiring power and status?

He didn’t regret coming all this way to save his daughter. He had already made up his mind to give up his life when he was coming here. He only hoped that his sacrifice was beneficial to his family. He hoped his daughter could safely escape the trap and grow up in a safe environment, slowly growing into the king of the galaxy. That way, no one would be able to hold her down and force her to their bidding. She could then freely live the life she wanted.

“Lan’er, Dad loves you. Goodbye!” Ling Xiao said softly. Then, he turned around and charged towards Monarch Fury, who was attempting to drag the 7th Bugle Call into his profound god state’s area of effect.

In the empty void, a gigantic bright and burning phoenix cawed and then ruthlessly crashed into the blue waves.

The red phoenix suddenly began to implode after entering the blue sea. The profound god state energies went out of control. Countless red and blue energies flew out from the explosion and went in all different directions.
