Chi Hong instinctively turned around, and his heart skipped a beat. As the Lord of the Divine Constabulary who guarded the Northern Lands Five Constabularies, his confidence and courage were unparalleled.
But …
That didn't mean that he was fearless.
After all, confidence and arrogance were two different things. More importantly, wasn't the size of the monster in front of him a little too exaggerated?
Above his head, a gigantic creature appeared out of thin air. It was covered in thick black scales and had two huge, curved golden horns on its head.
A dark green light flowed in his eyes like water.
And under the gigantic creature's gigantic and muscular body, four iron hooves covered in black fur were trampling on his body.
The entire sky was covered by this gigantic figure. The stars and moonlight were all gone. The black shadow enveloped the entrance of the palace.
Chi Hong finally understood what Fang Zhengzhi meant when he said that the one behind would be the first to be beaten.
It was obvious …
The Monster King appeared the moment Fang Zhengzhi leaped over the palace gates. His motive was simple. He wanted to close the distance between Fang Zhengzhi and himself the moment he leaped into the air, and then kill Fang Zhengzhi.
Chi Hong felt a little bitter.
At this moment, he could of course run, because the Monster King's target was Fang Zhengzhi. But, could he really run?
Of course not.
Regardless of whether Fang Zhengzhi would die if he ran, the Near-Life Gate in Fang Zhengzhi's hand was enough for him to not care about Fang Zhengzhi at all costs.
"Brat, remember that you owe me your life!" Chi Hong's legs sank, and then, his body lit up with a dazzling green light.
"Swoosh!"
In the blink of an eye, Chi Hong jumped up from the ground. At the same time, he spread his fingers, and ten rays of green light shot out.
"Boom!"
The ten rays of green light connected with Chi Hong's fingers, and in an instant, they all landed on the Monster King's gigantic body's head.
Then, the ten rays of green light exploded in an instant.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh …"
Countless rays of green light intertwined in the air, forming a huge green net. The Monster King's gigantic body crashed into the green net.
"Kacha!"
The green net shrunk from the impact and was on the verge of breaking.
This was an extremely exaggerated scene. Under the night sky, it caused people to feel a kind of shock that came from the bottom of their hearts.
The city guards guarding outside the palace first saw Fang Zhengzhi leap over the city wall. Then, they saw a black shadow step down from the sky, and finally, it crashed into the huge green net.
Shock, incomparable shock.
"What monster is this?!"
"So powerful!"
"Run! The monster is coming out!"
The city guards swallowed their saliva and scattered in all directions. To them, this level of battle was obviously not something they could control.
"Roar!"
At this moment, a bestial roar came from the Demon King's mouth. Then, the green net was torn apart and the huge body instantly shrunk, turning back into a demonic man wearing a white scholar's robe.
"Oh my god!"
"A humanoid monster. Could it be a Monster King?!"
"It's actually a Daemon King! What's going on? Quick, save me! "
When the city guards who were running away saw this, their expressions changed. They quickly found a place that they thought was hidden and hid.
"You dare to stop me?" King Xieluo ignored the city guards who were hiding in all directions. Instead, he stared at Chi Hong. The dark green light in his eyes was extremely demonic and eerie.
Chi Hong's body had already landed heavily on the ground. A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth and his face looked slightly pale.
Demon King.
What a terrifying existence.
Even a Sage could not fight a Demon King head-on. Furthermore, he was just a Lord of the Divine Constabulary. How could he really stop King Xieluo?
However, at this moment, Chi Hong did not regret it.
Because he was one of the Thirteen Constabularies. He was one of the Thirteen Constabularies that followed the previous Emperor to war. Hence, protecting the palace and the Great Xia Dynasty was a duty that he had to fulfill in his lifetime.
He could use any means necessary in the fight for the throne. He could also kill a hundred people in anger for the sake of his future glory. However, he could not save his own life when the Great Xia Dynasty was at stake.
"I've already stopped him!" Chi Hong's gaze was also fixed on King Xieluo's pair of green eyes. Although his face was pale, his expression did not show any signs of backing down.
"Very good!" King Xieluo nodded. Then, his body moved again. However, he did not pounce on Chi Hong. Instead, he continued to chase after Fang Zhengzhi.
"You're not going to kill me?" Chi Hong looked at King Xieluo who was rushing towards Fang Zhengzhi. He could not react in time. After all, he was already injured.
Furthermore, he had successfully angered King Xieluo.
Not killing …
There was no reason?
Chi Hong could not understand.
Fang Zhengzhi felt as though he had just escaped from death. A Demon King was indeed a Demon King. If not for Chi Hou, he would have been severely injured even if he did not die.
However, why did King Xieluo not stop and fight with Chi Hou?
Fang Zhengzhi looked at King Xieluo who was rushing towards him. He was slightly confused. However, when he saw the three figures behind King Xieluo, he understood.
Yan Xiu, Shan Yu, and King Liqin.
Of course, King Xieluo had the chance to kill Chi Hou. However, once he stopped, he would definitely be held back by Yan Xiu, Shan Yu, and King Liqin.
By then, it would be one against four.
Even if King Xieluo could win, it would definitely take some time.
"He is indeed a highly intelligent Demon King!" Fang Zhengzhi felt bitter. As King Xieluo's only target, he felt a little pressured.
Wasn't it just a show in the palace? Was there a need to chase after him so relentlessly? He did not dig up his ancestral grave. He just snatched the Near-Life Gate.
Without further hesitation.
The only thing he could do now was to run.
…
The night was boiling. The moonlight shone once again, like a thin layer of silver muslin, gently enveloping the historical Flame Capital City.
Countless people shuttled through the streets of Flame Capital City. After all, the commotion at the city gates and the palace was too loud. It was so loud that no one could sleep.
Then …
A figure appeared in the sight of the people walking on the streets.
This was a figure that suddenly sprang out from the palace. He wore a brand new black robe with the word "Imperial" on his chest, showing off his identity.
Coupled with the young face that everyone in Flame Capital City was familiar with, it was not difficult to guess the identity of this figure.
After all, this was a man who had a glorious day.
The teacher of the talents, the youngest Chief Imperial Messenger of the Imperial Academy in the history of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the Chief Examiner of this year's Imperial Examinations, Fang Zhengzhi, Master Fang.
If there was anyone in the Flame Capital City who didn't know about it, then that person would be ignorant.
However, this Master Fang, who was so glorious in the day, presiding over the Theory Examinations, why was he running so pathetically now?
Also, what was that thing in Official Fang's hand?
There was an ancient saying, 'Strength can lift a cauldron'!
Could it be that this was the legendary 'Strength Can Lift a Door'?
Most importantly …
Why was this Master Fang, who was crippled in the battle of the Southern Region, able to run faster than a green-furred rabbit in the mountains while lifting such an exaggerated Ancient Bronze Door!
One question after another appeared in everyone's mind.
Of course, all these questions eventually came together. That was, this Master Fang, who was obviously running for his life, where was he running to?
Confusion, shock, shock …
Countless different expressions appeared on everyone's faces. They wanted to stop this' escaping 'Master Fang and ask him,' Why? '
However, when they saw the white-robed King Xieluo following closely behind him, all their expressions turned into one of fear, a fear that came from the depths of their hearts.
"What kind of monster is that? Why does it have two horns on its head! "
"Demon King! That's the Demon King, a Demon King in human form! "
"Ah? Demon King! "
"Run!"
Countless people who were prepared to open their mouths to ask questions and ask for advice scattered like frightened birds after seeing King Xieluo.
Not a single person stood in front of these two, and not a single person was willing to stand in front of them.
Flame Capital City was huge.
However, when the speed of these two figures was extremely fast, as if they were running for their lives, the huge Flame Capital City was not that big anymore.
Fang Zhengzhi's heart was filled with bitterness. When he saw the 'battlefield' at the gates of Flame Capital City, and the tightly shut gates …
His heart was filled with even more bitterness.
"Open the gates, let me out!" Fang Zhengzhi's voice reverberated in the night sky, filled with boundless sorrow and helplessness.
This kind of voice was obviously not something a youth who was not even eighteen years old could make. This was because this voice was too old. It was as if there were countless cuts in his heart, and every cut was written with solemnity, helplessness, sadness, anger, and so on.
It gave off a feeling of vicissitudes, like a demon.
Of course, there was a demon behind Fang Zhengzhi, and it was a Demon King.
The right path of the human world was vicissitudes.
Fang Zhengzhi had no other way out other than to continue forward.
And when the soldiers at the gates heard Fang Zhengzhi's heart-wrenching cry, they instinctively turned to look behind them.
Then, pairs of eyes that were filled with blood widened.
"Fang Zhengzhi?!" The first person to speak was Su Qing. Because, he was standing at a very high position on the city walls, his clothes flapping in the night wind.
As the most important person behind the scenes of this operation.
He had always maintained a sense of absolute calmness.
Even when facing Marquis Xing Yuanguo of the Stabilization Constabulary and the thousands of Mountain Breaking Army soldiers, he never forgot this point.
But now …
He really could not calm down.
Because, he clearly saw the ancient bronze door in Fang Zhengzhi's hand, and that door was the number one treasure of the Holy Barbarian Empire, the Near-Life Gate.
At this moment, he felt as if his head was struck by lightning.
Numb, and a little dazed.
How did the Near-Life Gate end up in Fang Zhengzhi's hands? And he even brought it to the gates. How could he raise the Near-Life Gate? How could he run so fast …
Just like everyone else who saw this scene, countless questions arose in Su Qing's mind, causing his rapidly spinning brain to actually pause for a moment.
That was because he couldn't understand what was going on at all.
Su Qing was not the only one who could not understand.
All of the Holy Barbarian Empire soldiers beside him also could not understand. All of them looked at Fang Zhengzhi, who was running towards them, and the Near-Life Gate that glowed green under the moonlight …
They were really dumbfounded.
"Quick, stop Fang Zhengzhi!" After a short pause, Su Qing's mind finally issued the only order he could do at this stage, and also the only order he could think of.
He did not know why this was happening, but he knew that the city gates could not be opened, and the Near-Life Gate could not be left in Fang Zhengzhi's hands.
Following Su Qing's order, the Northern Barbarian Army, who were initially defending the city gates, finally reacted. They raised their spears and prepared to attack.
"No, guard the city gates, guard the city gates, don't let him leave the city!"
As a leader who had been on the battlefield for many years, Su Qing knew that changing his orders was a fatal mistake. Because, this would cause the army to be unable to adapt, and it would cause the soldiers to lose trust.
But …
Su Qing gave the order again.
If he was in a daze just a moment ago, then now, he had calmed down. At least, he felt that he had calmed down temporarily.
The reason was simple. He saw the figure in white behind Fang Zhengzhi, as well as the Mountain Breaking Army that was charging towards the city gates.
If, at this moment, he gave the order to attack …
Then, everything would really be ruined.
It could be said that Su Qing had corrected his mistake at the most crucial moment and made amends. However, a mistake was a mistake after all. You couldn't just say that you were wrong after taking off a woman's pants and walk away unscathed.
Su Qing corrected his mistake very quickly.
But Xing Yuanguo still held onto it tightly. Because he had far more battle experience than anyone else, he knew that anything could happen on the battlefield.
For example …
Fang Zhengzhi, who was charging towards him with the Near-Life Gate in his hand.
He was equally shocked and astonished. But this shock and astonishment did not cause him to be in a daze. Instead, he saw an opportunity in his mind.
This had something to do with his current position.
Breaking through the city gates was his goal. Then, in this process, if someone were to charge towards him with the Near-Life Gate in his hand, wouldn't that be a good opportunity for him to break through?
