The ominous-looking man's gaze slowly shifted to Fang Zhengzhi and Ping Yang, who was struggling in Fang Zhengzhi's arms.
One of the beasts that had been crawling beside the ominous-looking man seemed to have sensed something. It opened its eyes abruptly, its cold eyes glimmering with a cold light.
"Roar!"
The gigantic body moved instantly. Its sharp claws crushed the gravel on the ground. It opened its mouth wide and pounced towards Fang Zhengzhi and Ping Yang.
Without any hesitation.
"Your Highness, run!" Just as the beast was about to pounce on Ping Yang, a figure darted out and stood in front of Ping Yang.
It was a commander of the royal guards clad in golden armor.
"Boom!" The fierce beast's sharp claws landed directly on the chest of the commander of the Royal Guards. In an instant, the commander of the Royal Guards was sent flying and rolled on the ground.
A commander of the royal guards was slapped to death.
However, the beasts did not stop. After slapping a commander away, they leaped into the air and pounced towards Ping Yang and Fang Zhengzhi.
"This is …" Ping Yang finally stopped struggling. Her clear eyes looked at the incomparably huge figure above her head, and her small pink mouth opened subconsciously.
Of course, she saw what was happening.
Three beasts were crawling in front of the ominous-looking man.
It was a strange scene.
However, in a moment of desperation, she did not think about it carefully. It was only when the beast was right in front of her that she could clearly feel the brutal aura emanating from the beast and its gigantic body that could completely block the moonlight.
Instinctively, she struggled again and tried to push Fang Zhengzhi away. However, she realized that Fang Zhengzhi had no intention of letting go of her.
Not only did he not let go.
He did not even have the intention of dodging.
He just hugged her helplessly. It was as if he did not see or hear the beast's roar behind him.
"It's over. I'm going to die because of this shameless guy!" Ping Yang looked at the two sharp claws in front of her and felt hopeless.
However, at this moment, a murderous aura as cold as hell rose from behind her. She felt a chill down her spine.
Then …
A blood-red light shone from her back.
In an instant, he appeared in front of her. It was a figure wrapped in a blood-red light. His ink-colored robes fluttered gently in the night wind.
In that figure's hand, there was a red light that resembled a blade. It was crystal clear and as thin as a cicada's wing. However, it was filled with killing intent.
"Puchi!"
A blood-red light flashed, and the huge beast froze in the air. Its cold eyes stared at the figure wrapped in red light in front of it, its eyes wide open.
It was a look of disbelief.
Then, a miserable scream was heard.
"Howl …"
Then, the huge beast fell to the ground. In the air, there were two broken claws. Two arrows of blood splattered from the beast's feet and dripped onto the ground.
This was an extremely fast scene.
From the beast's attack to the flash of red light, everything happened in the blink of an eye. However, the result was very obvious. Another beast fell.
Silence!
Unparalleled silence!
The Palace Guards stared at the figure that appeared in the field, the blood-red light that enveloped the figure, and the huge beast that fell to the ground.
"It's Yan Xiu!"
"He can actually …"
"Could it be that Yan Xiu has really stepped into the Rebirth State?"
Shock, they were really shocked, especially the Dragon Protection Squad and the Royal Guards. They had personally witnessed the strength of these beasts, but now …
Two of its claws were crippled by Yan Xiu!
Yan Xiu?
What kind of state was he in!
"Asura Dao?" Qian Wu's gaze turned cold at this moment. He looked at the indifferent figure standing in front of them. "You are Yan Xiu from the Yan Family of Western Liang?"
Yan Xiu ignored Qian Wu. He did not even look at him. He took another step forward and stood in front of the howling beast.
He clenched his right fist.
The blood-red light flashed once again.
"Boom!"
The punch landed directly on the head of the huge beast. The ground that was already cracked could not withstand the impact at all. Gravel flew everywhere and dust flew everywhere.
The beast's howling stopped abruptly.
Fresh blood flowed out of the beast's mouth, staining the ground.
Another berserk beast, dead!
Qian Wu clenched his fist tightly. As the person in charge of this battle, he had been continuously ignored by Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu.
Not only that, the five beasts that walked out of the Near-Life Gate, in addition to the two that were killed by Emperor Lin Mubai and Chen Feihua, now three beasts had died consecutively. One had to know that he had spent a lot of effort to find these beasts.
One by one, they died in front of him.
How could he continue to tolerate this?
Just as he was about to speak, another voice interrupted him.
"Why are you all still standing there? Are you waiting for me to attack? The Throne Room is gone, and you all still have the cheek to watch the show? Are you all here to watch the show? Hurry up and kill him! "
"…"
All of the Dragon Protection Squad and the Royal Guards shuddered when they heard this voice. This voice belonged to Fang Zhengzhi.
Only Fang Zhengzhi could 'insult' them with such 'righteous words' without any qualms.
And the most important thing was …
After Fang Zhengzhi finished shouting, he was still able to stand on the spot with a righteous look on his face. This level of shamelessness was something that they could never learn.
Even so, they still understood the meaning behind Fang Zhengzhi's words.
As the army responsible for the safety of the Emperor, their primary goal was to protect the Emperor. However, just as Fang Zhengzhi said, the Throne Room was gone. Should they continue to stand there foolishly?
That's right!
The opponent was strong!
There were twenty Rebirth State experts, two ferocious beasts, and a Monster King.
But, so what?
They were the Dragon Protection Squad, the Royal Guards, the elites of the Great Xia Dynasty. As such, how could they be afraid of death? How could they be afraid?
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Almost as soon as Fang Zhengzhi finished speaking, the Dragon Protection Squad and the Royal Guards understood. Even though Fang Zhengzhi's words were crude, the logic behind them was extremely clear.
Protect the Emperor.
Of course they had to protect the Emperor.
But now, the enemy was too strong. So strong that they could not defend the Emperor. As such, they could only use their lives to create a chance for the Emperor to escape.
"Eunuch Wei, bring the Emperor and Her Highness away!" The First Dragon Envoy of the Dragon Protection Squad, Yan Qing, rushed towards Qian Wu and the Bewitching Man without hesitation.
Behind him, a few hundred members of the Dragon Protection Squad also dashed out.
The Royal Guards also moved.
In an instant, they surrounded the twenty men in black and Qian Wu and the rest. Their spears glowed with a cold light as they pierced towards Qian Wu.
"Woosh!"
"Woosh woosh woosh …"
The sound of arrows piercing through the air could be heard.
They were the city guards. When the royal guards rushed out, they did not hesitate to draw their bows. Arrows rained down on the heads of the twenty-odd men in black.
It was a chaotic scene.
And the source of all this chaos was Fang Zhengzhi's righteous words.
The Crown Prince Lin Tianrong's mouth was bleeding. His heart was filled with hatred. He hated himself for falling out with Qian Wu. Yet, the Palace Guards still shot their arrows at him.
"Your Highness, leave now!"
"I am not leaving!" The Crown Prince Lin Tianrong pushed away one of the men in black. He looked at Fang Zhengzhi, who was standing leisurely at a distance. Then, he gritted his teeth. He hated Fang Zhengzhi, but he hated another person even more. The person who put him in such a predicament. "Quick, kill Qian Wu!"
"Yes!" The man in black looked at the expression on the Crown Prince's face and finally nodded.
Following Crown Prince Lin Tianrong's command, the twenty-odd men in black finally split up. One group charged towards Qian Wu, while the other group started fighting amongst themselves.
"Fang Zhengzhi!" Qian Wu looked at the smiling Fang Zhengzhi, who was not far away. He looked at the rain of arrows raining down from above and the figures rushing towards him. His eagle-like eyes flashed with anger.
This guy was indeed as shameless as the rumors said!
He was not afraid of these 'moths', but that did not mean that he liked to be entangled with these 'moths'.
It was Fang Zhengzhi's words that turned the originally clear-cut scene into a chaotic melee.
And as the perpetrator, he was watching the show from the back with a clear conscience.
How could he not be angry?
"King Xieluo!" Qian Wu's hand quickly lit up with the six-colored talisman. At the same time, he shouted at the Devilish Man standing in front of the Near-Life Gate.
"Got it." The Devilish Man's lips moved when he heard Qian Wu's voice. Then, he slowly raised his right hand.
"Buzz!"
The sound of heaven and earth being stirred rang out.
Following that, a ray of emerald green light shone from the man's hand. It instantly spread out like ripples in the water, surging in all directions.
"Slash!"
"Slash!"
"…"
The Dragon Protection Squad and Royal Guards who were rushing towards the Devilish Man froze when they came into contact with the emerald light. Then, they were sliced into two.
"Plop!"
"Plop!"
"…"
One by one, they fell to the ground without any resistance.
But the emerald light did not stop there. It continued to spread in all directions, like the Grim Reaper's scythe, reaping one life after another.
