There was no need to doubt the importance of the Great Palace Guarding Array. It could be said that the Great Palace Guarding Array was the Sikong family's trump card. It was also their strongest home-ground advantage. There were people constantly maintaining the Great Palace Guarding Array to ensure that it could be activated at any time.
But now, someone actually told him that there was a problem with the Great Palace Guarding Array! How could Sikong Qing not be angry? Fortunately, they were only dealing with Lu Xuan. If there was a problem with the Great Palace Guarding Array when the Nine Eastern Alliance attacked, the Sikong family would suffer heavy casualties!
In the face of Sikong Qing's sudden burst of power, the warrior who came to report couldn't help but kneel on the ground. He trembled as he said, "No, no, no. I don't know what happened, but a part of the Great Palace Guarding Array was suddenly destroyed. It can't operate anymore."
"A bunch of trash! What's the use of you! " Sikong Qing waved his hand and ruthlessly slapped the warrior. The warrior was instantly sent flying dozens of feet away and fainted on the ground. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
"Everyone, surround them. Don't let a single one escape. We must capture Lu Xuan alive!" Sikong Qing roared angrily. After a slight pause, he said with a gloomy face, "Kill him if necessary!"
Long before Sikong Qing gave the order, the Sikong family's warriors spontaneously gave chase. Countless warriors charged at Lu Xuan from all directions. The three hundred or so people were almost twice their number. Not a single one of them wasn't an elite. After all, this was the Sikong family's lair, the place where the Sikong family's most elite warriors gathered.
"Even without the Great Palace Guarding Array, none of you can escape!" Sikong Qing said through gritted teeth. He realized that he had underestimated the Nine Eastern Alliance's strength. They were actually able to destroy the Great Palace Guarding Array without anyone noticing. However, so what if the Great Palace Guarding Array was gone? The Sikong family wasn't a place where they could come and go as they pleased!
"Kill!"
"Charge!"
The moment the warriors from both sides came into contact, the battle turned white-hot. Battle cries rang out incessantly, and the Yuan Power in the entire area became chaotic. Countless martial techniques streaked across the sky. Everyone's nerves were stretched taut, and they didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.
The instant the battle began, several corpses fell from the sky. There were people from the Anying Hall, the Nangong Clan, and the Sikong Clan.
Even though they knew that the main target of the Sikong family was Lu Xuan, at this moment, no one chose to abandon Lu Xuan and escape. Nangong Lie and Nangong Tianyou, the two great experts, tightly protected Lu Xuan on both sides. Song Jianbai led the warriors of the Anying Hall to form a sharp knife, using their bodies to open a bloody path for Lu Xuan. The warriors of the Nangong family protected Lu Xuan on both sides, desperately resisting the endless attacks. At every moment, someone died.
Lu Xuan's eyes almost popped out of their sockets as he watched the fresh lives slipping away before his eyes. He shouted in a hoarse voice, "Why didn't you listen to my orders? Didn't I say earlier that my orders were the main priority? Retreat! "
"Young Lord, our deaths are not to be regretted! We must not let Young Lord fall into the hands of the Sikong Clan! "Song Jianbai said resolutely when he heard the voice.
"We pledge our lives to protect the Young Lord!" The warriors of the Anying Hall shouted in unison.
A tear involuntarily fell from the corner of Lu Xuan's eye as he tightly gripped the Mengchen sword. They were all good brothers! They were all good men, but so many of his good brothers were going to die here because of him, all because of that damned traitor Yi Yong!
A flame of anger burned in the depths of Lu Xuan's heart.
"We've broken out!" Song Jianbai shouted in excitement. After paying the price of who knew how many of his brothers' lives, they had finally broken through the Sikong Clan's encirclement and rushed out of Xumi Palace.
Although the Sikong Clan had many warriors, in the end, they couldn't withstand so many people concentrating on a single point to break through. However, the price of forcefully breaking through was also extremely heavy. The losses of the Anying Hall were at least three times that of the Sikong Clan, and this didn't even include the warriors of the Nangong Clan that had fallen.
"Break through towards the river!" Lu Xuan shouted.
Hearing this, Song Jianbai immediately led the warriors of the Anying Hall to change their direction, rushing towards a man-made river very close to Xumi Palace.
"Roar!"
A deafening roar was heard when Lu Xuan and the others fled to the river. An extremely thick pillar of water shot out from the river, which then turned into countless streams of powerful water that shot at the warriors from the Sikong Clan who were chasing after them.
When the water pillar fell, a giant dragon could be seen standing on the river with its head held high. Its over ten feet long body appeared extremely tall and straight, and its ferocious and ferocious dragon head caused one to shiver in fear. The pursuing Sikong Clan warriors could not help but pause for a moment.
However, at this moment, Lu Xuan and the others had nowhere to run, because on the other side of the river, countless warriors were rushing over. Under the leadership of numerous experts, they had surrounded them. These warriors were the reinforcements that had rushed over from all directions.
According to Lu Xuan's original plan, they would be able to destroy Xumi Palace as much as possible, and then quickly retreat before these warriors arrived. Unfortunately, Yi Yong's betrayal had ruined his plan, and Sikong Qing's ambush had completely delayed them. Now that the Sikong Clan's reinforcements had arrived, they had already lost their best chance to escape.
"Run! Haha, continue to run! " Sikong Qing stepped out from the crowd, staring at Lu Xuan as he sneered. At this moment, he no longer had the leisurely attitude he had before. Yi Yong's sneak attack had failed, and the Palace Protecting Formation had mysteriously stopped working, causing him to be incomparably furious.
"Lu Xuan, I have underestimated you. You were able to destroy my Sikong Clan's Palace Protecting Formation, and you even have the help of such a giant dragon. If I was not prepared, I'm afraid that you would have succeeded. However, do you really think that there is no one in my Sikong Clan? I will give you one last chance to surrender. If you surrender, I promise not to kill you. As long as Ye Wuhen is willing to pay a sufficient price, I can let you go. As for the rest, if you are willing to join my Sikong Clan, I will definitely let bygones be bygones. I, Sikong Qing, am a man of my word, "Sikong Qing said in a deep voice, suppressing the anger in his heart.
His words could be said to be a mixture of truth and falsehood. Firstly, he really did not want to fight recklessly with Lu Xuan. The strength of these 300 people could not be underestimated. Even if he could kill them all, the Sikong Clan would inevitably have to pay a heavy price. Secondly, his words could also play a role in breaking down the opponent's fighting spirit. Knowing that there was a way out, if Lu Xuan still chose to fight recklessly, would these people really have the intention to fight to the death?
"Don't be fooled by him. You have seen what happened to Yi Yong just now. Sikong Qing is just trying to numb us. Even if we give up resisting, we will still not be able to escape death afterward. But if we can protect the Young Lord and break out of the encirclement, the Young Lord will definitely treat our families well! "Song Jianbai wiped the blood off his face and shouted.
"Run? Do you think you can still run? Don't be delusional. I just don't want to make unnecessary sacrifices. If you are stubborn, all of you will have to die! "Sikong Qing said coldly.
"Hahaha, brothers, did you hear that? Sikong Qing is afraid! When we stepped into the Anying Hall, we were already prepared to sacrifice ourselves. Now that we can die on the battlefield instead of being assassinated, it is already the best outcome. Why should we be afraid of a battle? "Song Jianbai laughed out loud.
Seeing Song Jianbai repeatedly motivating the members of the Anying Hall, Sikong Qing finally shifted his cold gaze onto Song Jianbai. He hadn't realized that Song Jianbai possessed such an ability. If he had known, he would have bribed Song Jianbai back then. However, it was useless to say anything now.
