When that familiar tune sounded again, the veins on everyone's forehead bulged.
It would have been fine if it was just unpleasant to listen to, but the sound of the zither always made everyone quiver, and their movements inevitably became flawed.
"Stop her, I'll go!" A man shouted, turned around, and pounced up the mountain. The others immediately filled the gap left by him.
The empress's eyes flashed coldly, "You're courting death!"
Beating up her own people in front of her? If this wasn't courting death, then what was?
The purplish-red lines on her face deepened. Completely ignoring the swords and sabers around her, she turned into a ray of red light and charged at the man.
"Good chance!" The man in front of the empress was delighted. He thrust his sword at the empress with an indomitable momentum. The empress could either dodge or face him head-on. If she dodged, she naturally wouldn't be able to catch up. If she faced him head-on, as long as he could injure her, the chances of winning this battle would be greatly increased.
"Trying to escape?" Shan Rou sneered. The ribbon in her hand was like a snake, coiling around the empress's feet.
"Eat my rod first!" A tall man leaped into the air and pointed the long rod in his hand at the empress like a poisonous dragon.
"Get lost!" The Empress roared. Her hand brushed past the incoming longsword, and a series of metallic clanging sounds rang out. She flicked her fingers seventeen times, and every flick of her hand carried a tremendous force that traveled along the blade of the sword and into the opponent's hand, causing the longsword to be forcefully deflected.
Then, she turned her palm to face the sky, and her jade-white palm forcibly blocked the long rod that was in the air like a poisonous dragon.
However, a bright flash of a saber quietly slashed across the empress's back, causing a stream of blood to spurt out of her body. The blood quickly turned into gas as soon as it splashed into the air.
This was caused by the burning of the empress's essence blood. Once it left her body, she could no longer control it and directly vaporized.
The empress ignored the injury on her back. In a flash, she appeared outside the encirclement. Her toes tapped lightly on the ground twice, and she caught up with the man who was three meters away from him.
"Be careful!" Everyone was shocked. The reason wasn't that the empress broke through the encirclement so easily. They didn't even manage to injure her. It was because there was a ribbon wrapped around her feet, and there was a person on the other end of the ribbon …
Shan Rou was actually dragged out by the empress.
"Let me help you!" A few of them shouted one after another. They grabbed the ribbon that was connected to Shan Rou and the empress while the rest of them pounced toward the empress.
The empress saw that the person in front of her was only three meters away. Just one more step and she would be able to catch him. At this moment, she felt a strong force coming from beneath her feet, causing her to pause.
One end of the ribbon was tied to the empress, while the other end was held in the hands of five or six people. It was like a tug-of-war.
However, there were still ten figures pouncing toward the empress.
The empress was furious. The wrinkles on her face became darker, and her skin started to turn red. She stomped on the ground, and a force that was much greater than before was transmitted through the ribbon. Everyone was caught unprepared, and one by one, they lost their balance and were dragged away.
The rubble under the empress's feet was sent flying. When she scurried away, there was only a huge pit left in her original position.
Using this momentum, she finally caught up with the person in front of her.
That person turned over and threw out dozens of bone needles, followed by six iron awls that were as thick as fingers. The short spear in his hand suddenly turned into a long spear. He shouted, "Break!"
Like a flood dragon, the spear pierced through the air and headed toward the empress.
The empress placed her hands in front of her and allowed the dozens of bone needles to hit her body. She circulated her blood essence, and the bone needles that had just pierced through her skin turned into powder.
Six iron needles landed in the empress's hands in a flash. She turned her hand and threw them at the people chasing behind her. Everyone was shocked and prepared to dodge.
With the strength of the empress and these specially made iron awls, if they hit a person's body, it would create a bowl-sized hole.
Then, they saw that the nearest iron awl was three meters away from them, and it flew past them just like that.
Suddenly, the empress's arm seemed to have no bones as it wrapped around the opponent's long spear. With a twist and a shake, that person immediately lost his grip on the spear handle, and the spear flew straight into the air.
At a speed that was difficult for everyone to see, the empress pointed seven times in a row at the chest of that person.
"What kind of finger is this …" That person was immediately motionless like a clay puppet after being pointed by the empress. He muttered to himself.
"You are already dead!" The empress didn't even look at him. However, before he died, there was one more person that had to be killed first.
She turned around and pounced behind her, but a stone under her feet flew toward Ren Baqian.
The sound of Ren Baqian's erhu not only upset the others, but also made her feel anxious.
This stone went straight for the erhu in Ren Baqian's hand. The strength of the stone was extremely good, and it was just enough to smash the erhu.
However, just as the empress turned around and pounced toward the crowd, the stone hit Ren Baqian's head, who was completely immersed in the music. Ren Baqian only felt his vision go black, and he fell backward …
"Ah!" Qing Yuan and Hong Luan exclaimed softly. They didn't expect the empress to actually kick a stone over and knock Principal Ren out.
However, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief. If the empress didn't make a move, the two of them wouldn't be able to hold it in any longer.
Lin Qiaole was originally in a daze beside Ren Baqian. Seeing that Ren Baqian was lying down, she rested her head on his stomach and adjusted to a comfortable sleeping position.
When Qing Yuan and Hong Luan turned around and saw that one of them had fainted and the other was looking for a comfortable sleeping position, they were almost scared to death. The empress was fighting in front of them. What was Lin Qiaole doing?
The empress turned around and faced the crowd that was surrounding her. She punched the heads of the beasts that pounced at her. With a "pop" sound, the beasts dissipated like smoke.
Every time a beast was defeated, a crack would appear on the chessboard in the hands of the person holding the chessboard.
At this point in time, the cracks on the chessboard were already densely packed. Out of the dozens of beasts that were created previously, only about ten were left on the periphery.
After defeating a few beasts, the empress leaped up and pounced toward Tie Feng, who was behind her. Her five fingers clawed at his head.
"Stop her!" Shan Rou hurriedly shouted.
A paper umbrella appeared just in time between the empress and Tie Feng. It was Chang Tian's doing. When the paper umbrella was opened, it blocked the empress's claw, but a hole was gouged out. Following which, he closed the paper umbrella and used it like a spear or a sword.
The empress didn't pay any attention to him. She blocked the paper umbrella with one hand and continued to grab Tie Feng with the other. Qingyun Sword's sword transformed into a ray of light and slashed at the empress's neck. The ray of light that injured the empress previously appeared again.
"All of you, get lost!" The empress shouted. The word "get lost" seemed to have materialized in her mouth. A huge sound wave surged in all directions. It was like the roar of an ancient beast, causing everyone's heart to skip a beat.
The redness on the surface of the empress's skin became more vivid and the color of the veins became darker. The veins had completely turned purple. Everyone felt as if the purple veins were about to materialize and detach from the empress's body.
The empress's eyes began to turn red. A monstrous, overbearing, ferocious, and sinister aura emanated from her body.
Everyone felt as if they weren't facing a person at this moment. It was no longer that heroic lady in red, but an ancient beast that had been resurrected in front of them.
