239 TaoLei
In an instant attacks occurred almost everywhere in YueYang.
In the city of MaYang where all of them came from, many cityâs soldiers were already standing guard at every entrance to the city to fend off the enemies who rush in large numbers. Among the soldiers in the armored city guard was LiManYi who had just become a young soldier in training.
âAttack!â
Commander Liu who was assigned to guard the MaYang cityâs borders mobilized all of his men to advance into the gate, the attack of tall men with a face resembling a wild animal did not stop even though it already ambush into the gate, some civilians that still being evacuated have to run to save themselves as fast as they could.
âAh!â
ManYi wielded his large sword, he was exhausted along with many of his fellow new warriors resisting attacks even to the point of losing their lives, the young man who had only served for a few days did not expect that their first battle would be so great like this. The youth helped his comrades up and backed away as their commander shouted.
âBack off! Build barricades!â cried the centurion who waved his sword high above his head.
The half-demons attacks didnât stop but the soldiers managed to push the high gate and shut it, while the others fought the half-demon who had already entered the city.
âStop them!â cried Commander Liu.
.....
.....
Meanwhile, in the dark cave located in the rock desert outside the border city of MaYang.
âYou guys donât know what youâve doneâ
BaiYing was still in the captivity of TaoLeiâs root, which held him in a standing position against the wall, although the creature continued to suck his blood and weaken him, he persisted. He still has the energy to regenerate which allows him to produce large amounts of blood, but his energy is going to drain out soon, who knows how long this ugly creature will be satisfied to suck his unlimited blood?
YiXing smirked.
âHehe, thatâs our business sweetie, you donât need to bother to think about it. At that time you would only be my sweet and beloved concubine whoâs sitting beside me, heh, you must have forgotten me, but I will never forget those beautiful eyes of yours.â
BaiYing wrinkled his eyes.
âWeâve never met before, how can I know a lecherous person like you?â
YiXing smiled, he stood up from his seat, opened his fan, and stopped at the side of the path where in front of him was the water where the TaoLeiâs huge creature grew bigger and bigger, he still wasnât satisfied with sucking BaiYingâs blood which made some of his rattan roots turn into strong pliable shiny steel.
âHeh, sweet and beautiful child, itâs a shame that our meeting was very short, back then I really wanted to take you home, but, you chose that fat kid instead, who would have thought that the ugly fat boy was now a Crown Prince, the magnificent leader of great YueYang, which, well, too bad, will soon be crushed at TaoLeiâs handsâ
BaiYing was trying to break free from the TaoLei root restraint that was stabbing his arm, and at least he needed to be able to expend his energy and help himself, he couldnât let the Crown Prince enter and face the danger to save him from this terrifying person, but, no matter how hard he tried to let it out he just couldnât do it, instead, it made his chest hurt so much like something was trying to explode from within, and made him hard to breathe.
âHoh hoh hohâ
âDonât think you can run, my sweet child, your efforts will be in vain, I donât want that beautiful body of yours to be shattered, right? This deadly acupoint technic of mine was specially made for you, no matter how hard you try you wonât able break free from itâ
âYou are a monster! What do you want to achieve by creating such a horrible creature like this? He will just swallow you and everyone else indiscriminately! Do you think he will listen to all your commands?â
YiXing smirked.
âHeh, it canât be helped, I hate the Crown Prince and YueYang, as long as I can destroy both of them, I think I have no problem with it, even if it wants to eat me tooâ
BaiYing tried hard to fight, but his body was getting weaker, he losing so much blood and his breath is getting heavier, his vision is blurred, and struggling so hard to keep his eyes open, he might going to die silly at this point, however, he wasnât afraid of it, he was just donât want the Crown Prince would be in great danger because of this.
âHeh Your Majestyâ
âI donât think you can do that Prince Yi!â suddenly, a voice comes from the cave entrance.
YiXing widened his eyes, how anyone could know the existence of this secret cave and moreover to breach in pass-through many formidable guards.
âY-Youâ
The young man swallowed his saliva round, his eyes looked intently at the approaching person with a very elegant style. The young man in majestic clothes, with a thin silk outer robe that waved lightly following each of his steps, the dominant color white shone, the bottom looks a bit heavy because of the accessories that come with it, and the shoes are pure white sparkling with exquisite gold thread embroidery.
Followed by another person behind him who casually knocked down the guards who came in to attack them, a stocky person dressed as a palace guard.
That person was none other than Luo Yan who came with Pangâer his personal bodyguard.
YiXing looked at the man with big eyes as if he was so afraid of him, his feet took a step back as LuoYan approached.
âY-Your Majesty, Second Princeâ
LuoYan stopped not far in front of YiXing, looking at BaiYing who had already dropped his head from exhaustion, his face was pale, blood was constantly being drawn from his thin body, how could he not be weak?
Luo Yan shook his head.
âHeh what a pity, Prince Yi, arenât you going too far with this beautiful concubine? At least leave him for me, Iâve told you didnât I?â
YiXing slightly backed away as LuoYan approached, but the young man clenched his fists tightly.
âSecond Prince, how did you find this place? Who told you, and, how did you get in so easily?â
Luo Yan looked at the large chair at the end of the road, it belonged to the Masked Man who was currently absent, he slowly sat down. Many tall, ugly-looking men who were none other than the Cave guards surrounded LuoYan and Pangâer on alert.
âY-you canât sit there?â
âWhy? Itâs an ugly chair, itâs uncomfortable, for some reason the old man who smells of carrion still wants to sit here, this will only soil my clothes, Pang I told you we should bring the chair here!â
Pangâer scratched his head. The second prince looked at him with a sharp gaze, as usual.
âYour Majesty, how can we bring the chair here?â
âThen I have to sit here? Heh, Mother will complain when I come home with smelly clothes like this, these are.â
YiXing dismissed the guards, he alone, and the presence of TaoLei was enough if that person wanted to attack him.
âI told you, Prince Yi, the ambition of that old stinking carrion to revive your country will only be in vain, my country is too strong for you, even though, you guys make, what is this? This ugly creature, still wonât be able to shake YueYang, you guys are just dreaming, did you never learn anything during your seclusion?â
Prince Yi, LuoYanâs nickname for YiXing who is none other than the third generation of King GuMo, the ruler of the small country of HeiNan which was once also one of the countries conquered by the previous Emperor before his father now. The country was clearly razed to the ground because the practice of the dark magic and martial arts that went against nature made the Emperor restless, so he decided to conquer the country and ordered all his subjects to mingle with YueYang and its surroundings, and practice any dark arts originating from HeiNan. would be annihilated, even including the clan they created in the past, the Demon Valley Clan.
âHeh this is so troublesome, quickly just give concubine Hua to me, and I will leave here no matter what you do, you donât want me to interfere in your business arenât you?â
âSecond Prince, this is tantamount to meddling in my affairs, concubine Hua, Ying will make TaoLei invincible, he can regenerate quickly, can emit fire and have other limitless powers, this country must naturally submit to TaoLeiâs hands, you canât stop himâ
Luoyan pointed to TaoLei, being which in Luoyanâs eyes more like a bunch of spinach with long roots that come out of all parts of his body, there are only two big eyes, and a hole resembles the mouth, every root mucus, and some have been turned into iron bending sparkling which can destroy anything at ease.
Luo Yan held his breath.
âHeh that ugly creature, Iâm not sure you will be able to control it, it will kill you when all efforts to destroy YueYang are successful, then, it will all be in vain, you will gain nothing from itâ
âSecond Prince, donât talk too much, just tell me what do you want? You canât possibly try to stop me, arenât you? You know this will only be a waste.â
