"The Eagle Guards! It's the Eagle Guards! "
The officials cheered. Lin Muyu's arrival gave them hope of survival.
"Your Majesty."
Lin Muyu did not participate in the battle. Instead, she turned around and bowed to Qin Jin. "I came late. I should have sensed it earlier, but I could not see through Ji Yang and Li Qianxun's thoughts. It is my fault that Deer Garden was attacked."
Qin Jin shook his head with a smile. "No, you came at the right time. You have done a good job!"
Lin Muyu nodded and stood by Qin Jin's side to protect him. He did not make a move. When he approached Deer Cry Park, he had already used his Spirit Pulse Technique to sense the aura fluctuations of the surrounding experts. Within the vicinity of Deer Cry Park, the white crane and the 12,300-year-old dragon serpent's aura were the strongest, followed by Ji Yang. Ji Yang's aura was getting weaker and weaker as the battle wore on, so Lin Muyu had chosen to fight Ji Yang the moment he entered Deer Cry Park. He had even used his strongest killing moves, the Dragon Flame Spiral Break and the Third Star, to cripple Ji Yang's battle strength in one round.
The next few minutes were his time to recover.
…
Wei Chou, Xiahou Sang, and the rest of the Eagle Guards had always been the Imperial Guards outside the capital. They were only responsible for patrolling and gathering information. They did not usually have the chance to protect the Emperor. That was why the opportunity before them was so precious. They fought the Rangers with all their might. Three hundred of them fought to a draw against more than a thousand Rangers.
Not long after, more than a thousand imperial guards guarding the west gate of Deer Cry Garden charged over. With a pincer attack from both sides, the House of Chivalry was instantly defeated. Silver Venerable, Bronze Venerable, and Iron Venerable Wanderers died under the arrows. Even two Golden Venerable Wanderers were killed by Wei Qiu and Xiahou Sang. Ji Yang and Li Qianxun fled, and the imperial guards did not pursue them. Instead, they let the imperial guards pursue them.
"Lin Muyu!"
Qin Jin suddenly raised an eyebrow and said, "Xiao Yin is still in the Southern Court. I wonder how she's doing right now. Feng Jixing is bringing people over right now. You should hurry over as well. Perhaps you'll be able to help Feng Jixing!"
"Ah?!"
Lin Muyu stared blankly for a moment, but didn't say anything. She carried her sword and used the Falling Star Steps to rush to the West Court.
…
"Rumble …"
A violent rumbling sound came from underground. Feng Jixing looked at the movement under his feet and frowned. He said, "The Dragon Serpent has burrowed back into the ground. Where are Her Highness Yin's people?"
"His Highness, you can stay in the side hall's hot spring. We'll stand guard here," said one of the Imperial Army's chiliarchs.
Feng Jixing narrowed his eyes and said, "I wonder how Qin Lei, Chu Huaiying and the rest are doing in their battle against Cang Baihe … Sigh, they came so suddenly this time that we were simply caught off guard …"
The chiliarch smiled. "Lord Commander, there's no need to blame yourself. We've all done our best."
"En."
At this moment, there was a sudden "bang". The ground trembled, and a huge black figure rushed out. It was the Dragon Serpent. It seemed to have received an order from Cang Baihe. The Dragon Serpent came alone to look for Qin Yin. The moment its huge head emerged from the ground, it opened its mouth and bit two Imperial Army cavalrymen to death. Its head shook violently and tore them, along with their horses, into minced meat.
"Clang!"
Feng Jixing unsheathed his sword and shouted, "Bastard, attack with me and kill him!"
The Dragon Serpent seemed to be mocking them. It suddenly raised its head, and a ball of fire appeared on its neck. It was about to attack with a dragon's breath!
Feng Jixing was stunned and shouted, "Be careful to dodge!"
His martial soul was the Purple Electric Flame Wolf, which was focused on attacking. He didn't have a defensive skill like Lin Muyu's green gourd. He held his sword with both hands and suddenly spun it like the wind. With the support of his battle energy, it actually formed a huge light shield. He shouted, "Blade Dance!"
"Hua!"
Scorching flames spewed out and engulfed Feng Jixing's figure. At the same time, more than ten Imperial Army soldiers around him were burned to ashes. The flames burned along the pavilion, and in the blink of an eye, the side hall of the West Court was on fire.
The moment the flames dissipated, Feng Jixing rushed out of the smoke. His face was full of traces of smoke, and his eyes were filled with hatred. The Windcutter Sword turned into a cold light and went straight for the Dragon Serpent's neck. The first style of the Wind Blade — Desert Gale!
"Crack!"
The sword slashed on the scales and left a deep mark, but it didn't hurt the Dragon Serpent.
On the contrary, the dragon serpent's head swayed rapidly, slamming heavily onto Feng Jixing's shoulder, sending him flying back along with his saber. A group of Imperial Guards hurriedly went forward, but they were caught off guard by the dragon serpent's tail swiftly whipping past them. The group of Imperial Guards were still standing there in a daze, but their bodies were already splattered with blood, their upper bodies were all snapped and fell down, actually becoming two halves.
The cruelty of the massacre was unbearable. The maidservants in the side hall were dumbfounded, and Feng Jixing still held his sword and stood together with the Dragon Serpent.
"Rustle, rustle …"
Amidst the rustling sounds, Qin Yin, who had just finished bathing, had already changed into a princess's armor. Her long hair was still wet, and she raised her hand to pick up the long sword beside her. She said to the maidservants, "You guys wait here. I'll go help Commander Feng Jixing."
"No!"
One of the maidservants hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Your Highness is precious, how can you take such a risk? This servant heard that the Dragon Serpent outside is a ten-thousand-year-old spirit beast. Even General Feng Jixing isn't its match. If anything happens to Your Highness, we won't be able to bear the consequences of His Majesty's wrath. I hope that Your Highness will reconsider!"
"Weng, weng …"
God Binding Chains appeared around Qin Yin like guardian spirits, and the maidservants with no cultivation dared to say a word. The God Binding Chains were the martial souls of kings, and they contained the majesty of an emperor. It wasn't something that mortals could look directly at. But the moment Qin Yin rushed out of the side hall with her sword, she saw the Dragon Serpent's tail swaying in the air and drilling into the ground together with its body.
Battle Qi swirled around the long sword in Feng Jixing's hand as he said angrily, "You killed so many of my men, and you still want to leave?!"
With a leap, the courageous Imperial Army commander actually followed the Dragon Serpent into the cave.
"How can this be …"
The beautiful princess instantly felt guilty. She didn't have the courage to jump into the dark cave. She had been afraid of the dark since she was a child, and she didn't even blow out the light when she slept at night!
A series of rumbling sounds came from underground, and the Dragon Serpent's tunnel caused the ground to tremble as if there was an earthquake.
A few minutes later, there was a sudden "bang", and the Dragon Serpent appeared again. It was impressively in the side hall's hot spring pool. As the water splashed, the Dragon Serpent let out a roar and swallowed a maidservant. It chewed in big mouthfuls, and fresh blood flowed to the ground.
"Bastard …"
Qin Yin gritted her teeth and flew over. She didn't wait for the Dragon Serpent to get close, and she directly raised her arm. Battle Qi condensed in the distance, and with a "shua", a golden light burst out, and the God Binding Chains broke out from the ground and bombarded the Dragon Serpent's lower jaw. Immediately, a few large scales flew off, and one could faintly see the Dragon Serpent's scarlet blood dripping down.
Feng Jixing grabbed the Dragon Serpent's tail, and he held it tightly with one hand while the other held the Windcutter Saber. He hacked at the Dragon Serpent's body, and it looked very strange and comical.
"Hiss, hiss …"
The Dragon Serpent's huge body twisted, and it went straight for Qin Yin. It opened its mouth and swallowed her!
Qin Yin hurriedly summoned the God Binding Chains, and with all her might, she summoned six God Binding Chains in front of her chest. However, with a "peng" sound, the Dragon Serpent still broke through them. The blood-red tongue spat out, and it directly wrapped around Qin Yin's arm, pulling her towards its mouth.
"It's over …"
Qin Yin's heart instantly turned to ashes. She waved her sword and slashed, but it was impossible to cut through the extremely tough tongue of the Dragon Serpent. Moreover, the Dragon Serpent's strength was frightening, and it dragged her towards its frightening bloody mouth.
She couldn't help but close her eyes, and tears filled her eyes. She didn't expect that she would still be buried in the Dragon Serpent's mouth after escaping from the Dragon Serpent's poison last time.
Just when Qin Yin was in despair, she suddenly felt a warm feeling under her feet. With a rustling sound, a green gourd vine soared into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it wrapped around Qin Yin's body, trying to pull her back.
"Yu …"
She hurriedly turned her head, and saw Lin Muyu rushing over with the Burning Prairie Sword. The gourd surrounded her, and the Burning Prairie Sword was piercingly cold. She brazenly slashed at the thick and long tongue of the Dragon Serpent!
"Peng!"
It still couldn't be cut. Even Qin Yin's God Binding Chains, known as the number one offensive Martial Spirit, couldn't cut through the tongue. Naturally, Lin Muyu's tenth-grade green gourd couldn't cut through it either.
However, Lin Muyu was anxious, and her eyes turned cold. She opened her mouth and bit the Dragon Serpent's tongue!
"Pu!"
Its teeth were about to break, but it was strange that the tongue could withstand the attack of the God Binding Chains, but it seemed to be unable to withstand Lin Muyu's "sharp teeth". When it bit again, a fishy taste rushed into its throat. It had bitten through the tongue!
"Hiss, hiss …"
The Dragon Serpent was in pain, and hurriedly retracted its tongue. Meanwhile, Feng Jixing had already taken the opportunity to carry the Windcutter to the side of the Dragon Serpent. With a spin of the blade, he shouted, "Hot Sand Gold!"
After three consecutive slashes, the Dragon Serpent flew back, but before it could feel proud, the Dragon Serpent's tail had already mysteriously whipped Feng Jixing's shoulder. With a "kacha" sound, his left arm had already been broken. With a miserable groan, he fell to a corner of the side hall, and his face was deathly pale, "Yu, Highness Yin, be careful …"
"No, the Dragon Serpent is too fast!" Qin Yin said.
Lin Muyu had already moved forward with her sword, and the wall of the gourd protected the front of Qin Yin. As expected, the Dragon Serpent's devouring attack and whipping tail came one after another. With three consecutive bangs, the wall of the Winter Gourd was instantly shattered, and Lin Muyu felt a sweet taste in her throat as she crashed into the wall behind her. She was in a sorry state.
Feng Jixing's broken left arm hung low, and with his right hand holding the blade, he stood up again. His gaze landed on the Dragon Serpent's neck, and suddenly, his eyes lit up. He said, "Yu, one of the scales on its back has been corroded. It must have been corroded by the Imperial Army's acid. I'll hold the Dragon Serpent back, and you think of a way to pin it to the ground so that it can't dig or move again."
Lin Muyu struggled to get up from the ground, and nodded with a disheveled expression.
Not far away, a group of Imperial Army soldiers stood there, but no one dared to go forward. A 10,000-year-old spiritual beast and three Heaven Realm elites. This was not a battle that belonged to them, and if they went forward, they would just be cannon fodder.
