The square of the Heaven's Wall City was bustling with noise. It was crowded with people. Everyone was crowding around to watch the beheading this time.
Many people knew what was going on. The execution was actually a show of force to attract the experts of the Martial Faction so that they could capture all of them in one fell swoop.
There were thousands of Imperial Guards lying in ambush in the surroundings. As long as an expert of the Martial Faction came to the execution ground, the thousands of Imperial Guards would immediately pull the trigger of their Army Breaking Crossbows. Even if an expert of the Spirit Devour Realm came, he would not have an easy time.
As time passed, a giant black eagle suddenly appeared in the sky. The black eagle held a giant iron cage in its beak. The person inside the cage was the Rakshasa King, Xuan Qiu.
Dong!
With the sound of a gong, the black hawk let out a long cry. The metal cage directly fell from the sky and heavily smashed onto the plaza, causing the ground to crack. Waves of air rippled out in all directions, causing everyone present to be shocked and fearful.
The person inside the cage was not affected at all. She closed her eyes and sat cross-legged in the iron cage.
"The Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guards has arrived."
After that, an Imperial Guard walked onto the stage and shouted.
As soon as he shouted, a large number of Imperial Guards entered the square and surrounded it.
Shortly after, a huge tiger-lion appeared in everyone's line of sight. Behind it was a large group of imperial guards. A middle-aged man, wearing a commander's robe, sat on the tiger-lion majestically as he slowly entered the plaza's high platform.
This person was Tang Hao, the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guards and a martial artist at the peak of the Spirit Devour Realm.
Needless to say, the Imperial Guards' imposing manner in order to kill Xuan Qiu was truly frightening. There were even quite a few Energy Burst Realm experts guarding the Imperial Guards. Anyone who dared to barge into the plaza would definitely be beheaded.
Furthermore, Tang Hao's strength had risen to the peak of the Spirit Devour Realm with Cao Zhengchun's help. Even some of the Spirit Devour Realm experts of the Martial Faction might not be a match for him.
At this moment, his aura was completely released. He did not restrain it in the slightest, exerting pressure on all the spectators and the people of the Martial Faction who were hiding in the dark.
Tang Hao jumped off the tiger-lion and walked to the center of the stage. He waved his hand and said, "Bring the empire's spy and the Martial Faction's felon to the execution platform."
Whoosh!
The two guards opened the cage and pushed Xuan Qiu out. At this moment, Xuan Qiu's body was relatively clean. However, there was no aura. Her beautiful face was pale. Obviously, her dantian was sealed.
Two Imperial Guards slowly pushed Xuan Qiu onto the execution platform.
"Kneel."
One of the Imperial Guards coldly snorted. Before the execution, one had to kneel on the execution platform.
"If you want to kill me, then kill me. You want me to kneel? Who do you think you are?"
After all, Xuan Qiu was at the Spirit Devour Realm. Even though she had lost all of her strength, her aura was still very imposing. Under her cold shout, the Imperial Guard couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Among the crowd, there were a few men and women dressed in strange clothes. Their faces were filled with rage, and they were about to unleash their weapons.
"Stay calm."
The leader of the group, a boorish man, gestured for his companions not to act rashly.
This group of people weren't from the Martial Faction. They were fugitives who had been released from the Luosha Prison. These fugitives were quite loyal. They hid among the crowd and wanted to hijack the execution platform. Even if they died, they wanted to save Xuan Qiu.
"Xuan Qiu, you're already a dead person. Don't put on that arrogant attitude in front of this commander."
Seeing that Xuan Qiu didn't kneel, Tang Hao waved his hand. A powerful force blasted out and hit Xuan Qiu's legs.
Boom!
Xuan Qiu had lost all of her strength. She was just like an ordinary person. How could she withstand Tang Hao's attack? The force blasted Xuan Qiu's legs and broke them. Xuan Qiu immediately knelt on the ground. Her face showed that she was in pain.
"Little bastard, if you weren't the commander's felon, I would've killed you in the prison."
One of the guards couldn't help but curse when he saw Xuan Qiu finally kneeling on the ground.
"Ma Long, how's the scouting going?"
Tang Hao sat on the high platform and asked a young man while sipping wine.
"Father, we've checked the surroundings. We didn't find anyone from the Martial Faction. Maybe they've hidden themselves. Maybe they've already given up on saving Xuan Qiu."
Tang Malong replied.
"Xuan Qiu is Xuan Ji's younger sister. With Xuan Ji's temperament, how could she just watch her sister be beheaded?"
Tang Hao was puzzled.
"Father, we've already set up an inescapable net. Even if Xuan Ji goes there, she won't be able to return. Now, the Martial Faction is only supported by Xuan Ji. Otherwise, the Martial Faction would've been destroyed by us long ago. The people from the Martial Faction won't let Xuan Ji come to save Xuan Qiu. "
Tang Malong said.
They had set up countless defenses and traps on the plaza. Other than the imperial guards who surrounded the plaza, there were also archers lying in ambush in the surroundings.
"Go!"
Suddenly, an order rang out from the crowd.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Among the crowd, several figures suddenly burst out. They were all holding extraordinary weapons in their hands as they charged towards the execution platform.
The Imperial Guards immediately reacted and took out their weapons. They immediately rushed in with shining steel knives and steel forks in their hands. They aimed at the intruders and surrounded them.
"Interesting. Capture all of them alive."
Tang Hao said calmly.
"Brothers, since we've already come out, even if we have to risk our lives, we must save the Devil King."
The leader of the group shouted loudly after killing an imperial guard with a palm strike.
"Haha, risk your lives? Your lives aren't worth much. "
Tang Hao did not make a move. He was very relaxed as he fed a piece of fresh meat to the lion and tiger.
The strongest of the martial artists who suddenly rushed out were only in the Energy Burst Realm. Rushing over was equivalent to suicide.
Then, Tang Hao waved his arm, and a strong gust of wind swept out. The martial artists who rushed out were instantly thrown off their feet. All of them fell to the ground, and the imperial guards immediately placed their steel knives and spears on their necks.
Seeing that all the rebels had been taken down, Tang Hao stood up and slowly walked in front of them. They looked somewhat familiar, and he had personally captured a few of them before.
"You're all prisoners who escaped from the Devil Prison?"
Tang Hao asked calmly.
"So what if we are? So what if we're not? We're already prisoners on death row. Kill us or torture us, do as you please. "
The leader of the group said.
"Interesting!"
Tang Hao sneered and immediately pulled out the Prized artefact on his back. He swung it at the burly man and blood sprayed out. Then, a wretched cry of pain rang out and a bloody arm was sent flying. The huge tiger pounced on the arm and swallowed it whole.
"Tang Hao, there's no point in killing them. Just let them go."
Seeing this scene, Xuan Qiu also felt sorry for them. She had never thought that the prisoners she had released would actually risk their lives to save her.
"There's still some time before noon. Why don't we play some entertainment?"
As Tang Hao spoke, he ordered the imperial guards, "Chop off all their limbs and feed them to my mount."
As soon as he finished speaking, they felt the ground tremble. They could clearly feel that everyone's weapons were trembling, and the wine in their cups was also beginning to ripple.
"There's a murderous aura!"
A frightening murderous aura swept through the area violently, causing everyone's scalps to explode and goosebumps to rise all over their bodies.
"Could it be that Xuan Ji is here?"
Tang Hao was shocked. He immediately tensed up and looked around. This kind of murderous aura, even an expert at the peak of the Spirit Devour Realm like him felt his hair stand on end.
