The dozens of people that charged in were all lightly equipped and wielding long swords. It was obvious that they weren't soldiers, but rather, specialized assassins.
Their auras were restrained, and their gazes were sharp. Their cultivations were all above the Martial Master level.
The instant they charged in, they swarmed towards the Southern Summer King. Their target was very clear, and it was obvious that they were here to assassinate the Southern Summer King.
Facing the simultaneous assassination of several Martial Masters, the Southern Summer King stood in his original position, and his expression didn't change. "You overestimate yourselves. You dare to assassinate this king!"
Following the threat of a king, a wave of energy filled with pressure burst out from the Southern Summer King's body and condensed into a treasured sword behind him.
This sword was completely golden, and its surface was engraved with dragon patterns. It emitted a dazzling blue light, and it was like an exquisite work of art.
This was the Southern Summer King's martial soul, the King's Sword.
When the King's Sword appeared, it transformed into a golden light and shot out. It shuttled back and forth in front of the Southern Summer King, forming a crisscrossing sword light.
Before the assassins could even get close to the Southern Summer King, they were dismembered the moment they came into contact with the sword light. Even the swords in their hands were broken.
Nangong Yan, who was watching from the side, was extremely shocked. Dozens of Martial Masters were killed in an instant. Was this her father's strength?
The remaining ten assassins that were lucky enough to survive were instantly scared out of their wits. Just as they were about to turn around and retreat, the vines controlled by Murong Tuohai had already wrapped around them.
Immediately after, a figure quickly dashed out from the corridor, and the spear in his hand swept out like lightning, killing the assassins that were wrapped around by the vines on the spot.
The figure that suddenly appeared was the frontline's vice-commander, Dongfang Zhan.
"I came late to protect you, Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Dongfang Zhan raised his bloody spear and led a few silver-armored soldiers to the front of the Southern Summer King.
"This King is fine. How could these scoundrels injure this King?" The Southern Summer King released his martial soul and waved his hand nonchalantly.
Dongfang Zhan knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists, and said to the Southern Summer King, "In this battle, the enemy has dispatched many experts. Your Majesty, please consider the overall situation of the Southern Summer and retreat to a safe place."
"This King is not that easy to deal with. General Dongfang, don't worry about this King. Hurry up and assist the old general in commanding the army." The Southern Summer King suddenly thought of what Nangong had said to Lin Yun last night when he died for his country. He couldn't help but feel a trace of vigilance towards Dongfang Zhan.
At that moment, Dongfang Zhan suddenly stood up and pounced towards the Southern Summer King. "Be careful!"
A beam of cold light flew in from the window and landed on Dongfang Zhan's back like a laser beam, directly piercing through the golden armor and deeply into his chest. Following that, half of the light pierced out of his chest. It was a spear.
"General!" A few Silver Deputy Generals hurriedly surrounded them and pulled out their swords. They guarded Dongfang Zhan and the Southern Summer King behind them and looked outside the window with vigilance.
"General Dongfang!" The Southern Summer King hurriedly supported Dongfang Zhan. He looked at Dongfang Zhan with a moved expression and a trace of self-blame appeared in his eyes.
Although this spear had appeared very hastily, the Southern Summer King believed that with his reaction speed, he would have been able to dodge it.
Dongfang Zhan, who was also a King Wu expert, naturally knew that the Southern Summer King would be able to dodge it. However, he had unhesitatingly charged forward and blocked the spear for the Southern Summer King. This was enough to prove his loyalty.
The Southern Summer King was feeling very guilty and ashamed. Dongfang Zhan was loyal and devoted to him, and he had even been injured to protect him. Yet, he had doubted him and even felt vigilant towards him.
Fortunately, the spear had hit the right side of Dongfang Zhan's chest and did not injure his heart. Therefore, his life was not in danger.
"Meddlesome fellow!" A dissatisfied voice came from outside the window. Then, a figure flew in from outside the window.
It was a middle-aged man wearing golden battle armor. His battle armor was completely different from the battle armor of the Southern Summer King's State General. On the chest of the battle armor, there was the symbol of the Northern Yan Dynasty, which showed that he was a general of the Northern Yan Dynasty.
This Northern Yan General had a very high nose bridge and a cross-shaped sword scar on his left cheekbone. He had a pair of strange eyes, which gave people a very strange feeling.
His entire eyeball had turned black, and his pupils had turned into a demonic yellow. His gaze was extremely ferocious and filled with a bone-chilling murderous aura. He did not give people the feeling that he was a human, but rather a devil that had crawled out from hell.
If Lin Yun was still conscious, he would have recognized him immediately. This was because he was Xue Rengui, who had fought with Lin Yun many times.
Xue Rengui also saw Lin Yun, who was sitting cross-legged in the corner. However, this time, he was not as frightened as he was when he escaped. Instead, he calmly glanced at Lin Yun, and then his gaze fell on the Southern Summer King. He completely ignored Lin Yun.
"Xue Rengui, so it was you just now …" Dongfang Zhan pulled out the spear in front of him and spat out a mouthful of blood. He looked at Xue Rengui with a ferocious face.
"Are you the most powerful general of the Northern Yan Dynasty, Xue Rengui?" The Southern Summer King looked at Xue Rengui warily. He finally understood why the spear that flew over just now had such a strong destructive power. It turned out that it was from the hands of this man who was at the same level as him.
"Protect His Majesty!" A few Silver Deputy Generals gathered their Primordial Qi and rushed toward Xue Rengui.
Xue Rengui only glanced at them, and they all turned into shadows and flew backward. They directly crashed into the wall and got stuck.
Nangong Yan was completely stunned once again. These Silver Deputy Generals all had the cultivation of a Level Nine Martial Master.
However, they were all defeated in an instant after being glanced at. This was simply unbelievable.
"Yan 'er, don't be afraid. Your father is here." The Southern Summer King said calmly. Then, he activated his Primordial Qi to condense his Martial Soul again, and a golden King's Sword appeared behind him.
"I heard that the Southern Summer King is also one of the top experts in the Southern Summer Kingdom. Today, I can have a taste of your strength!" Xue Rengui moved his mind, and a formless telekinetic force turned into a huge fist that bombarded the Southern Summer King.
Wherever the huge fist passed, even the floor of the fortress was shattered, and a deep ravine was formed.
The Southern Summer King raised his right hand slightly, and his index finger and middle finger were put together. Then, he pointed two fingers upwards.
At that moment, the King's Sword behind him seemed to be attracted by something. It instantly turned into a golden light and slashed forward, cutting the formless telekinetic fist in half.
At the same time that the Southern Summer King attacked, Murong Tuohai also attacked. He quickly controlled the vines and extended them toward Xue Rengui along the ground.
Xue Rengui pulled out the sword from his waist and slashed forward. A formless sword energy formed by telekinetic force instantly shot out and cut all the vines on the ground.
