The sky gradually darkened as the group headed east. This was not a plan after a quiet discussion, but a helpless action of being surrounded. The north, west, and south were all blocked by the pursuers, but the east was close to the busy market. It was easy to infiltrate the palace guards, but it was not easy to block them.
“Follow this path and you’ll reach the Wen Manor!” Zhou Yuyan said anxiously.
Obviously, their ident.i.ties had been exposed. The Sorcerer Queen’s maiden home was the most tightly guarded and dangerous place.
Yu Wan said, “The most dangerous place is the safest place. They just searched the Wen Manor. They definitely didn’t expect us to turn back.”
Zhou Yuyan nodded. “That’s true.”
Yu Wan continued, “Besides, Dawa hasn’t been exposed. With him secretly dealing with them, the risk of us hiding in the Wen Manor will be much lower.”
Of course, the most important reason was that the Sorcerer Queen’s guards were chasing after them relentlessly. They could only go to the Wen Manor. They did not know how the situation was on Yan Jiuchao’s side. They hoped that he could guess their plan and meet them at the Wen Manor.
On the other hand, after Yan Jiuchao killed Iron Hand in two moves, the
remaining guards all used their killing moves and fought him fiercely. In the past, there was no need for him to attack. The pressure of the Longevity Technique alone was enough to suppress this group of guards until they could not breathe.
Yan Jiuchao’s internal energy had decreased by nearly half, but even so, the group of guards did not gain any advantage from him. The guards gradually couldn’t take it anymore. Yan Jiuchao took advantage of their carelessness and pulled Old Cui over.
Old Cui, who was finally out of danger, patted his chest in shock. “You scared me to death! You scared me to death…
A long whip hit him, trying to wrap him back up.
Old Cui couldn’t dodge in time and was so frightened that the hair on his body stood on end. No sooner said than done, a slender hand reached over and easily grabbed the whip. Then, he used his internal energy to shake the whip, and the owner of the whip was instantly sent flying, knocking down a large group.
Yan Jiuchao was almost proficient in dealing with this group of palace guards. However, this was the Sorcerer Clan. It was impossible for the Sorcerer Clan to only have such a group of dabblers.
As expected, just as the guards were beaten up, a few very powerful auras flashed over from not far away.
Yan Jiuchao’s expression turned cold. Even Old Cui, who did not know martial arts, felt a murderous aura in the air. He hid behind Yan Jiuchao and stammered, “W-what is that? It’s so terrifying!”
Yan Jiuchao’s eyes moved. “Martial Rakshasa.”
“W-what? Martial Rakshasa?!” Old Cui was stunned.
He had heard of Martial Rakshasa before. Back then, when they entered the
Sorcerer Clan, the experts guarding the city gate were a few Martial Rakshasa. The martial arts of that group of people were even more terrifying than the Blood Rakshasa. If they encountered them, they would almost have no chance of winning.
“You-you can still hold on, right?” Old Cui looked at Yan Jiuchao fearfully.
Yan Jiuchao dealt with the palace guards present in one move and let Old Cui hide behind the courtyard door. He had never fought Martial Rakshasa before, so it was hard to say if he could kill them.
He looked at the darkening sky. In the grayish-blue sky, a full moon was slowly rising. The night of the full moon was in two days, so his current strength had not depleted too badly.
Before the few Martial Rakshasas arrived, their killing moves arrived first. Yan Jiuchao rose into the air and avoided the attack. A powerful internal energy of the Longevity Technique spread out and attacked the few Martial Rakshasas.
After a round of sparring, Yan Jiuchao realized that there were only three of them. Weren’t there four Martial Rakshasas? Where did the other one go?
Yan Jiuchao had an ominous feeling.
His premonition was confirmed. Another Martial Rakshasa followed the movements of the pursuers and caught up to Yu Wan and the others. He blocked Yu Wan and the others’ path on a river street.
A powerful killing intent covered the sky and earth. The commoners who pa.s.sed by were so frightened that they fled in all directions. The shops and vendors also quickly closed their stalls. In the blink of an eye, the prosperous riverside street became empty, leaving only Yu Wan and the others and this Martial Rakshasa.
“It’s a Martial Rakshasa!” Shadow Thirteen frowned.
It would be fine if it was the palace guards, they could at least escape. However, Martial Rakshasa Wu was powerful and they were probably… not his match!
Martial Rakshasa was eight feet tall and had a burly figure. His face was cold and hard, and he was wearing heavy armor. His entire body emitted a powerful pressure. This pressure was different from ordinary experts, and they seemed to have the justice of the heavens.
“Why did we meet a Martial Rakshasa?” Zhou Yuyan was about to cry. It wasn’t easy for them to escape from the courtyard. Just as they were about to escape into the Wen Manor, who knew that they would be stopped by a Martial
Rakshasa?
It was not only a Martial Rakshasa who came. The pursuers also arrived one after another. They were surrounded.
Yu Shaoqing put Yu Wan down, and Shadow Thirteen and Shadow Six also put down the people on their backs. The three of them protected the others behind them and looked warily at the pursuers around them.
Yu Shaoqing said, “Ah Wan, we’ll fight our way out later. You guys take the opportunity to escape.”
Yu Wan shook her head. “That won’t do. You’re not Martial Rakshasa’s match.”
Yu Shaoqing said, “We won’t fight him head-on. Miss Zhou, you know martial arts. I’ll leave Ah Wan and the others to you!”
Zhou Yuyan nodded solemnly. “Master Yu, don’t worry. As long as I’m still alive, I won’t let anyone hurt them! ”
Ye Yang had long been drugged. Zhou Yuyan brought him over and tied him to her back. With her internal energy, it was not a problem to carry a twelve-year-old youth.
Just as the group was about to part ways, something unexpected happened. The Martial Rakshasa released a powerful pressure and suppressed everyone tightly, preventing them from even lifting a finger.
One had to know that after the trip to the Nether Mountain, everyone’s strength had increased by several times. Shadow Thirteen already had strength that was not inferior to the Asura King, but Martial Rakshasa actually suppressed him without any effort.
“So… so uncomfortable…” Shadow Six felt a pain in his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood!
Shadow Thirteen used his sword to support his body, preventing himself from being broken by this pressure.
Yu Shaoqing’s situation was not any better than the two of them. He was best at arranging troops, but in terms of martial arts realm, he was not the number one in the world.
The second to vomit blood was Zhou Yuyang, and she was in a worse situation than Shadow Six. She was carrying Ye Yang on her back. The Martial Rakshasa wanted to save Ye Yang, so an internal energy hit her heart.
Fortunately, she was wearing the ancestral jade token that her father had pa.s.sed down to her. The jade token blocked most of the attacks for her. Otherwise, that attack just now would have killed her.
Zhou Yuyan knelt on the ground weakly.
The Martial Rakshasa walked towards her step by step with a cold expression and killing intent.
The Martial Rakshasa stopped in front of Zhou Yuyan. His internal energy trembled and broke the rope tied to Ye Yang. He picked Ye Yang up and carried him on his left shoulder. Then, he reached out to grab Zhou Jin, who was beside Yu Wan.
Yu Wan pulled Zhou Jin behind her. The Martial Rakshasa was furious and a violent pressure pressed down on Yu Wan. Shadow Thirteen suddenly flew up against his pressure and slashed at his back.
Of course, it didn’t break.
The Martial Rakshasa slowly turned around and sized up Shadow Thirteen. He did not expect a half-sacrificial soldier to be able to break through his pressure. He looked at Shadow Thirteen for a full two seconds before reaching out and waving him away.
Almost at the same time, a white light flashed over and burrowed into his heart when he was not paying attention.
The Martial Rakshasa was stunned. He lowered his head and looked at his heart in disbelief.
The Martial Rakshasa had an indestructible body not only because they could withstand the attacks of all experts and weapons, but also because they could withstand the most powerful Gu worms in the world.
No one could poison a Martial Rakshasa. But this little thing really crawled in?
So it was the Gu Emperor’s body. No wonder it could hurt him. However, it was only a young Gu, far from the realm that could kill him.
The Martial Rakshasa raised his foot and stomped fiercely on the little Gu
Emperor. Yu Wan shot out a silver needle and knocked Little Gu away. The Martial Rakshasa stepped on empty air. He had even stepped on a huge pit on the ground, which showed how strong he was. If it had not dodged just now, Little Gu would have become a pile of meat paste.
Little Gu trembled. After a while, it flashed into Yu Wan’s stomach. Wake up! Wake up! If you don’t wake up, you’ll die!
Yu Wan completely angered the Martial Rakshasa after ruining his good things one after another. The Martial Rakshasa walked towards Yu Wan with a cold expression.
“Ah Wan!” Yu Shaoqing’s expression changed!
“Mrs. Yan!” Mu Qing shouted!
The Martial Rakshasa reached for Yu Wan’s neck. He could break such a little girl’s neck with a light twist. Yu Wan wanted to escape, but she was suppressed by his suddenly increased pressure and could not move.
His hand grabbed Yu Wan’s neck. Just as he was about to break it with force, Yu Wan’s stomach moved.
A powerful Saint King’s pressure poured out like a speeding light wave and collided with the Martial Rakshasa. The Martial Rakshasa did not even have time to react before he let out a tragic cry..
