Dragon Blood Saint Emperor

The Celestial Pass Thirteen Cities, King Xiangg City!

Three thousand miles outside the city, the plains stretched as far as the eye could see. A vast, dark mass covered the land—the Beastman Army. An air of grim slaughter permeated the void.

”It seems we’ve come at a bad time!” In the distant sky, aboard a silver roc, a youth in purple robes watched the massive army ahead and murmured faintly.

Lan Xinyu replied, ”This must be the Beastman Army besieging the city. They should retreat in a few days.”

”It’s getting late. We need to find a place to rest. Master, I can charge through with you.” The Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc glanced at the sky and took the opportunity to speak.

”Don’t move just yet. Even if we could break through the Beastman legion, we wouldn’t be able to enter King Xiangg City. They might mistake us for enemies and alert the powerhouses within the city.”

Ye Wushuang’s gaze swept over the Beastman Army below. There were about ten thousand of them, overseen by three Rebirth Level Yin Yang Powerhouses. With his strength, Ye Wushuang was confident he could kill them all and clear a path to King Xiangg City.

However, if he entered King Xiangg City at this moment, he would surely be treated as an enemy, drawing out the experts inside. The trouble wouldn’t be worth it.

”Young Master, that group of women and children has arrived.”

At the same time, Lan Xinyu pointed to a crowd of people below heading toward King Xiangg City. This was the group of women and children rescued by Miss Guo. However, it seemed they were unaware of the situation ahead.

”Reporting to the General! We’ve spotted a group of humans behind us, heading for King Xiangg City.” It wasn’t just Ye Wushuang’s party of three who had noticed the women and children; the Beastman Army had as well.

At the very front, a Beastman general with bull horns and clad in Dark Armor furrowed his brow and asked in a cold voice, ”Who are they?”

The Beastman scout replied, ”General, it’s a group of human women and children. Only a few of them are Cultivators, they’re no threat.”

”Women and children!” Upon hearing this, the Beastman general’s blood-red eyes glinted. He gave a bloodthirsty grin and turned to a Beastman general on his left. ”Zorro, take a squad of soldiers and check it out. Bring that group of women and children to me. This general has a great use for them.”

Hearing this, the Beastman general named Zorro led a group of Beastman soldiers and charged toward Guo Yurong’s group.

Guo Yurong and the others hadn’t realized a Beastman Army was attacking the city and had kept walking forward. By the time they came to their senses, the Beastman soldiers had already surrounded them.

”Huddle together! Quickly, huddle together!”

Guo Yurong’s expression changed. She shouted, and the group of women and children shrank together.

”Tell this general who your leader is!” Zorro stared at the group, his bloodlust palpable. The crimson greatsword in his hand hummed, as if sensing its master’s thirst for blood, and radiated a grim killing intent that sent a chill through everyone’s heart.

”Not talking, huh?”

After a brief moment, Zorro gave a grim smile and signaled a soldier. With a RUMBLE, the soldier charged forward, reaching for a small boy.

”Get back!” Instantly, a guard stepped in front of the boy and slashed his sword at the charging Beastman soldier.

Hmph!

Zorro snorted coldly. With a single slash of his sword, he cut the guard down, his body torn in two. It was an incredibly gory sight.

ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!

Seeing this, the other Beastman soldiers roared in excitement.

Without the guard to interfere, the Beastman soldier grabbed the little boy.

”Let him go.”

Guo Yurong also took the opportunity to step forward, preparing to charge the soldier, but Qian Tong blocked her. ”Yurong, are you crazy? There’s no need to throw your life away.”

”Get out of my way!”

Before Qian Tong could finish, Guo Yurong shoved him aside and strode forward. ”I’m the leader. If you want someone, come for me. He’s just a child. Let him go.”

”You’re the leader?” Zorro stared at Guo Yurong.

”That’s right. I am Guo Yurong, the second young miss of King Xiangg’s Mansion in King Xiangg City. I trust my value is greater than his. You can let him go!” Guo Yurong stepped forward.

”The second young miss of King Xiangg’s Mansion. Interesting.”

Zorro laughed, then said to the soldier, ”Kill him and take this young miss from King Xiangg’s Mansion. She’ll be of use to us.”

Upon receiving the order, the Beastman soldier grabbed the boy’s head. A sickle-like weapon flashed out, ready to sever the child’s head.

However, no one noticed that the little boy wasn’t crying. Although fear was plain on his young face, he gritted his teeth and made no sound.

”Bastard!” Guo Yurong hadn’t expected Zorro to refuse to spare the boy. With a furious cry, she charged forward, brandishing a Red Tassel Spear.

BOOM!

Instantly, two powerhouses beside Zorro seized the opportunity and charged toward Guo Yurong.

”This general wants her alive!”

Zorro watched Guo Yurong and laughed. ’If I bring this young miss from King Xiangg’s Mansion to the city walls, there will certainly be an unexpected reward.’

With the two Beastmen blocking her way, Guo Yurong couldn’t save the little boy.

But in that cold instant before death, streaks of golden light suddenly burst from the little boy’s body!

”AHH!”

Abruptly, a bloodcurdling scream erupted from the Beastman’s mouth. The golden light seemed to hold an endless killing power, relentlessly shredding his body, sending flesh and blood flying.

This scene instantly drew everyone’s attention, and all eyes focused on it.

Everyone was stunned. ’That golden light... it’s terrifying!’

’The man from before saved him!’

Seeing this, Guo Yurong’s face lit up with joy. She knew that the youth in purple had previously sent a ray of golden light into the boy’s body. She hadn’t realized it was a protective ward.

She suddenly looked up at the firmament. In the distant sky, a Heaven-Covering Peng Bird hovered. On its back, a figure in purple stood like a god descended from the heavens, watching them.

’It’s him!’

’It’s definitely him!’

Gazing at the purple-robed figure, Guo Yurong was certain it was the same man who had saved them before!

”You killed my Beastman soldier! This lord sentences you to death!”

Zorro was enraged. Right under his nose, a little boy had killed one of his soldiers. He thrust out a hand, reaching for the child, preparing to crush him to vent his fury.

”You dare try to kill someone I’ve chosen to protect?” A calm voice, laced with terrifying pressure, descended from the firmament and shattered Zorro’s attack.

Hearing the voice, the little boy looked up, his gaze fixed on the roc in the sky and the mountain-like figure on its back. His small, grimy fists were clenched tightly.

’I’ve seen him again!’

The little boy stood silently, making a secret vow in his heart. ’If I survive, one day I’ll become strong, too. So strong that I can declare just as domineeringly, ”Who dares to harm the one I protect?”’

Perhaps even Ye Wushuang didn’t know that his two rescues had planted a powerful seed in the little boy’s heart.

”Who is it?”

His attack thwarted, Zorro grew even more furious. A powerful aura of the Yin Yang Realm erupted from him, making Qian Tong and the others tremble violently.

’So powerful!’

Qian Tong stared at Zorro in terror, his heart turning to ice.

Zorro looked up at the sky and saw a purple-robed figure walking through the air toward him, his hands clasped behind his back.

’What a powerful aura!’

Zorro’s gaze sharpened as he watched the newcomer. The man was clearly only at the Spiritual Spring Eighth Layer, yet he gave Zorro a profound sense of threat.

Qian Tong also noticed the disturbance in the sky. He looked up and glared at the purple-robed youth, his face flashing with venomous hatred. ’Damn bastard, why is it you again!’

He retracted his gaze, a sinister light glinting in his eyes. He shouted to Zorro, ”Weren’t you looking for our leader? That’s him! He’s the one who killed over a hundred of your Beastman soldiers to save us! With him here, you won’t be able to touch a single hair on our heads!”

As he spoke, Qian Tong stared at the purple-robed youth with a vengeful smile on his face. ’Facing a Yin Yang Powerhouse, let’s see how you get out of this one!’
