CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

477 The Queen’s Trap

Xiao Hong looked around him, the Realm King’s protective sphere was pulsing brightly, it was the most powerful protective energy he had ever seen and felt, even he, the firebird couldn’t get through, just touching it made his hands burn.

“This, His Majesty’s powerful energy, it is impossible to penetrate, even I won’t able to do it”

“But, we can’t stand still and do nothing” Luo Xiang got up, although the pain was unbearable in his whole body he had to try to get out of there and help Bai Ying.

He gripped his sword hilt tightly, trying to gather the golden energy that had appeared when he attacked Queen Bo Yan, the energy that gave him strength, far beyond what he could imagine, right now, it might be the last hope he had. However, that energy did not appear at all.

“Ekh Ying”

Everybody tried hard to be able to get through the protective sphere, but it was so impossible for them.

Luo Xiang widened his eyes as he saw Bai Ying who was slowly starting to fall unconscious due to the pressure from Queen Bo Yan’s black aura, which trying to break his defences.

“No, Ying Ying! You have to hold on and fight, don’t let her control you!” Luo Xiang exclaimed. Bai Ying turned his head, he clenched his fists trying to stay awake, he really had to stay awake.

Queen Bo Yan was about to approach but Bai Ying managed to ignite white flames from his palm and attacked the Queen, burning half of her face and making her winced loudly in pain.

.....

“Arrgghhh!”

Bai Ying let out another fire, burning the black aura that shackled his body, legs and arms, but he wasn’t strong enough, the shackles seemed to suck his energy out.

“Akh!”

Again Bai Ying didn’t give up, he turned his palms making the ground around him tremble, boulders falling onto the long body of the black snake coiled around him. Queen Bo Yan widened her eyes, emitted black energy from her hand and crushed all the stones before they even near her, but she missed one large rock with a sharp point that pierced her tail.

“Ahhh!”

A loud screeching sound rang out as the blood from the snake gushed upwards, the blood of a pitch-black colour.

Furiously, the Queen pulled the stone-pierced tail and threw it towards Bai Ying’s body, but the self-defence mechanism from the King of Realm was able to withstand the attack, the loud sound of the dragon’s roar could be heard and the pulse sent the snake’s tail far away and bounced against the wall.

“Arrrghhh!” A miserable cry of pain again rang out throughout the great cave.

The Queen’s eyes were big at that Black Tortoise’s pool.

“Old man! Damn it! What are you doing? Do something to shut him down, quickly!” Queen Bo Yan exclaimed loudly.

Luo Xiang’s eyes widened when he saw the black tortoise that had been hiding in the water appeared.

Luo Xiang hit the protective circle with his sword, seeing the black turtle’s mouth wide open releasing a cold wind towards Bai Ying.

“Ying Ying!”

Xiao Hong and Bei Yau as well as Ye Lu also hit the sphere with all they might, they had to come out to help the boy.

“Ah!” Bai Ying groaned, the cold wind trying to pierce through his shield, suppressing him within with all the energy attacking him simultaneously.

“Stop it! Ying Ying, let us go, break off your sphere! Ying Ying!”

Luo Xiang who was already heavily injured did not reduce his strength, hits the sphere with all his remaining strength, his eyes shining golden as did his sword which managed to cut through the protective sphere in a very critical time.

“Sheets!”

Dissolving the protective layer that made everyone manage to get out.

Luo Xiang immediately charged toward Queen Bo Yan who was attacking Bai Ying with her black smoke, Ye Lu threw the chain at Hei Wu’s head, and Xiao Hong threw his fire into the giant’s mouth. Meanwhile, Bei Yau’s sword tried to slash Queen Bo Yan’s body which was coiled around Bai Ying’s body.

“Hiaaa!”

The big Pulse from the Queen’s powerful strength threw them all at once.

Pushing Luo Xiang and Bei Yau’s bodies against the wall where the rocks continued to fall, Bei Yau fell heavily and a large rock crushed his left leg as he was about to get up.

“Ah!” made him stuck there and unable to move.

Luo Xiang wiped the blood that was coming out of his mouth, he almost fell to his knees due to his weaker body, but, he couldn’t give up, Bai Ying’s wistful gaze was directed at him, the young man was getting weaker with all the attacks aimed at him.

“Y-Your Majesty”

“Ying Ying!”

Xiao Hong managed to push Hei Wu’s big body so that he was pushed to the edge, but the cold wind that came out of Hei Wu’s mouth knocked Ye Lu down and made his right hand freeze.

“Ah!”

Hei Wu was about to get close and break it with one hit, but something suddenly hit him very hard.

“Prang!” out of nowhere, a powerful chain attack pushed Hei Wu’s head away.

“Sreeng!”

The shiny Black chain, which was much larger than Ye Lu’s, hit Hei Wu’s head so hard that it made the creature cry out in pain.

“Arrrgghh!”

Xiao Hong approached Ye Lu and warmed his frozen right arm with his red flames.

Ye Lu groaned, but his eyes widened when he saw a figure dressed in very light white cloth descending in front of him.

“S-sister” she was Ye Mu, the young woman was already in an alert position taking out her shiny black chain which was already wrapped around Hei Wu’s head. Her long hair fluttered lightly from the wind with her head lower than her body, attacking stance while holding the ends of the chains tightly in her hands. The girl looked at Ye Lu and Xiao Hong with her sharp eyes.

“What are you waiting for! Quickly attack its head!” cried the young woman.

Without a second thought, Xiao Hong spread his arms wide in a huge circle of fire that grew brighter and brighter, directing it towards Hei Wu. The rush of energy pushed Hei Wu’s head back from its starting position, and the giant lost its balance and hit the wall.

Xiao Hong shouldn’t have done it, he shouldn’t have used his elemental against another, but, it wasn’t Hei Wu, according to Elder Yi, he could have used it to cripple Hei Wu who was under Queen Bo Yan’s witchcraft influence and put the water element back in its place.

Xiao Hong’s red flames shot and managed to partially burn Hei Wu’s face, that’s when Ye Lu and Ye Mu attacked him with their black chains binding the creature away from the middle of the battle.

Ye Lu exerted his maximum internal strength which makes the white flames appeared enveloping the chains, the power of the black chains hurting Hei Wu so badly that he couldn’t break free.

“Arrrggh!”

Meanwhile by Bai Ying’s side.

Queen Bo Yan’s laughter sounded loud as she watched Bai Ying slowly lose consciousness, that’s when her black energy was able to penetrate Bai Ying’s defences and drop him into the sea of ??black energy, floating so lightly.

“Ying Ying!” Crown Prince shout anxiously.

Bai Ying’s clothes fell down to the cave floor, Queen Bo Yan approached and touched every inch of the young man’s face and body, with her long black nail fingers.

“Look at this, this perfect face, how about this, Your Majesty The Crown Prince, if servant, enter into this perfect body, and both of us will become rulers of the world”

Luo Xiang clenched his fists tightly, his eyes red with anger seeing the Queen of the snakes wrapped around Bai Ying’s body.

“God damn it! Let go of Ying Ying!”

Luo Xiang dashed forward to attack, but Queen Bo Yan threw her hand away causing a black wind to blow everything away with her black smoke. Throwing the Crown Prince’s body against a hard wall.

“Ah!”

Luo Xiang didn’t give up, he tried to get closer by stomping his hind legs and pushing him off the wall towards Bai Ying, however, Queen Bo Yan’s black smoke obscured his vision.

“No Ying!” Luo Xiang’s eyes widened at the sight of the pitch-black aura emanating from Queen Bo Yan’s body and into Bai Ying’s body, the snake try to possess him.

“Ying Ying!”

Xiao Hong, Ye Lu and Ye Mu who heard the Crown Prince’s shout turned their heads, the three of them immediately shot toward the Crown Prince, but the strong energy blast from the centre of the room sent everyone flying.

“Busshhh!”

Everyone fell hard, including Hei Wu, who was blown away by the tremendous energy from the centre.

The walls shook violently, stones fell one by one and the ceilings big rocks began to crumble. Xiao Hong threw off the rock that was on top of Bei Yau’s feet and led him to safety.

“Your Honour!” cried Bei Yau, seeing Luo Xiang who didn’t move where he was despite so many rocks falling toward him. Xiao Hong handed Bei Yau into Ye Lu’s hands and approached Luo Xiang, he used all his fire to destroy the rocks that fell towards them.
