Chapter 989 Not Willing to Give In!

The youngster crawled out of the cage. As he walked a few steps forward, he suddenly bit his lip and walked back into the cage. Then, he began to go and wake the other innocent children who hadn’t woken up yet.

Soon after, all these children woke up and along with a few adults. They slowly crawled out and escaped from the destroyed building. They were lucky that their minds weren’t successfully wiped by the elders. They still knew where they were from. Even though some had their minds wiped and forget everything, their cellmates still told them what had happened to them and where they came from.

Although these individuals had escaped the clutches of these villains, they still needed to go through many more dangerous and difficult situations if they wanted to go back home. However, this was their own story and was not related to the story of Ling Lan and the others. It was just that only after decades, these people would think about the two masked domain realm masters who saved them and guess who they were.

At the three locations, Li Lanfeng and Little White had it the easiest. Although Xie Yi and Luo Lang was in somewhat of a difficult situation, they still resolved perfectly in the end. It was only Liu Furong and Zhao Jun who were stuck in a life-or-death crisis.

Zhao Jun ran around the hidden corridor as his life was on the line. His face was pale, with sweat dripping down from his body like raindrops.

If it wasn’t for the fact that there were many hidden corridors, along with the fact that the enemy domain realm master was afraid of going all-out and create too much noise, and accidentally causing the base to be exposed by the people above them. If that wasn’t the case, he would probably have been killed by the domain realm master who was chasing him.

This was the power of domain realm masters. Although he was close to the limit of becoming a domain realm master, it was still the same as a three-old-year fighting an adult when fighting a real domain realm master. He was completely unable to defend himself.

Zhao Jun didn’t know how long he could hold on. He only knew that if he wanted to live, he must run away with all his might, until Liu Furong arrives.

Zhao Jun felt there was a terrifying power creeping behind him. He didn’t even think and somersaulted into corridor on his right.

“Bam!” A terrifying power instantly hit the place he was running towards. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was lucky that a tunnel had appeared beside him. He definitely would have been severely injured from this attack.

Although Zhao Jun luckily got away from the attack, he still felt his back was slashed by something, causing him immense and unbearable pain. However, Zhao Jun didn’t have the time to examine his own back. He just ignored the immense pain and ran through the corridor hurriedly. It was because Zhao Jun knew that the domain realm master would not stop chasing him.

Another terrifying attack came towards him. This time however, Zhao Jun was not as lucky, as there weren’t any other corridors to turn into. Seeing this, Zhao Jun bit his lip and pounced forward.

Without any tunnels to turn towards, Zhao Jun was still sent flying by the shockwave even though he dodged away from the center of the attack. He then rolled on the ground a few meters away from the attack.

“Ugh!” Zhao Jun spat out a mouthful of blood. The attack of the domain realm master still severely injured him even though he suppressed much of it with his Qi-Jin at Great Perfection.

A silhouette appeared in the corridor. It was the silhouette of a 40 to 50 year middle-aged man. It was the domain realm master who kidnapped Liu Aihua and injured Han Xuya.

“Heh, heh, heh…” The man laughed softly. “You’re really good at running, but where can you run to now?”

Zhao Jun tried his best to bear the immense pain from his back and bit his lip as he stood up. He quickly thought in his mind to see how could get away with his life from the clutches of his opponent.

After seeing that his prey was thinking of running away, the domain realm master threw out his fist and a formless attack went straight towards Zhao Jun.

Zhao Jun could only raise his hand to block, but he was once again sent flying away by the force behind the fist.

“Bam!’ Zhao Jun smashed onto the ground face first. The blood from his mouth was gus.h.i.+ng out uncontrollably. In the end, Zhao Jun had become severely injured and lost his ability to move.

“You’re this weak, and you dare to cause trouble in our territory? You really don’t know your place.” As the domain realm master smiled coldly, he slowly walked to the motionless Zhao Jun.

He bent down and held Zhao Jun neck with his right hand. He then lifted him up by the neck.

Zhao Jun’s face instantly turned blood red. His opponent’s fingers were ruthlessly strangling him, causing him to be unable to breathe which instantly made his face go red.

As time went by, Zhao Jun felt he was close to death for the first time.

“Am I actually going to die here?’ Zhao Jun’s mind could only think of this.

Even if he was going to die like this, he still wasn’t willing to give in. He still wanted to follow his Boss through the stars and create more miracles.

Compared to Qi Long, Luo Lang and Han Jijyun who were of military backgrounds, along with Li Lanfeng, Li s.h.i.+yu and Xie Yi who were from elite families, Zhao Jun’s background was the most humble from Lingtian Battle Clan. He was from a common family and did not have any strong connections. It should be said that if Ling Lan had actually left the military, he was probably the only person from Lingtian Battle Clan who could follow Ling Lan without causing any trouble.

Zhao Jun clearly knew about Ling Lan’s situation, that his chances of remaining in the military was not high. Just a Ling Xiao was already enough for the entire Federation. If there was also a Ling Lan, it would only bring about bad tidings for the Ling family.

Zhao Jun had already made his decision to follow his Boss despite the fact that he was still going to have a good future in the military if he stayed there. Neither his comrades, seniors nor General Ling Xiao would treat him differently than Ling Lan’s team members who followed her from the beginning even if Ling Lan left.

However, the factions within the military was set in stone. This made Zhao Jun feel discouraged. Even a general’s son couldn’t escape from becoming pressured by others. How could a commoner like him even hold up? Instead, he should just follow Boss Lan and travel through the stars to create their own legends. He would be much happier and free compared to staying in the military and plot against one another.

“I’m not willing to give in… not willing!” Zhao Jun screamed out in his mind. The future was what Zhao Jun wanted!

Zhao Jun began to fight for his life. He wanted to continue living. However, with his current strength, he had no chance against a domain realm master.

As his neck continued to be strangled for a longer amount of time, Zhao Jun’s struggle became more and more intense. The domain realm master looked coldly towards Zhao Jun who was fruitlessly struggling for his life. He loved seeing his prey struggle before their death, as this would excite him and give him a feeling of accomplishment.

As the oxygen in his body was slowly deprived out from his body, Zhao Jun’s eyes opened wider and wider. The unwillingness to give in and anger in his eyes made the domain realm master, who was used to seeing people die, uncontrollably shudder in terror.

Right as Zhao Jun was about die from suffocation, a strong force of presence exploded from within his body.

The domain realm master instantly understood why he was scared just a few moments ago. He didn’t think that the rumor of breaking through the barrier during a crisis would actually happen right in front of his eyes.

“Don’t even think about it!” The domain realm master roared. He was not going to allow his prey to reserve the tide on him and prey on him instead.

He exerted more force in his right hand. He was rus.h.i.+ng to break Zhao Jun’s neck and kill this young man, who was about to advance into the domain stage, right here and now.

Suddenly, he discovered that his right hand actually couldn’t move at all.

It turns out, unbeknownst to him, his right wrist was being held tight by a large and strong hand.
