But so what? Was a man who couldn't protect his woman worthy of being called a man?
Qin Hao accelerated toward the place where Xiao Xiu's aura was emitted. He had a crazed look on his face as his illusory dragon body tilted and fell into the forest below.
Qin Hao deactivated the Dragon Control Art. When he and Song Ziyang landed on the ground, they could already see Xiao Xiu standing in front of them.
Xiao Xiu stood at the bottom of a small hill with his right arm raised high. His palm was holding the white veil that Xiao Han had torn from his battle dress.
"Hahaha! It is indeed General Xiao Xiu. I am the first to find him. I, Li Kui, will be the one who will win for the prince!"
At that moment, a burly figure suddenly jumped out of the dense grass and rushed toward Xiao Xiu like a wild bear. Li Kui was overjoyed.
"Idiot, move away!"
Song Ziyang shouted from afar, trying to warn the other party.
Even he could see that Xiao Xiu was abnormal, but Li Kui was blinded by victory and rushed over without any vigilance.
Unfortunately, Song Ziyang's warning came too late.
Before Li Kui could reach Xiao Xiu, killing intent surged from all directions. Dozens of fierce essence energy bolts shot out from all directions and blasted toward Li Kui.
Li Kui was indeed worthy of being Qi Yuan's trusted subordinate. His reaction was not slow at all. In the face of danger, he was not flustered. With a shout, he released his peak level eight Yuan Monarch cultivation and formed a thick defensive barrier around his body.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
A series of explosions rang out as dozens of fierce bolts of light struck the protective shield, shattering it on the spot. Large amounts of blood spurted out from Li Kui's mouth.
Although the defensive barrier was broken, Li Kui blocked all the bolts.
"Who are you?
Come out and die! "
Li Kui was furious. Someone was hiding in the dark and plotting against him. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
However, the moment he said the word 'die' …
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Swoosh! Dozens of sword gleams suddenly descended in front of him. Li Kui felt his vision blur. Then, his vision tilted as his head split into two and fell to his feet.
The sword gleams were too fast, so Li Kui didn't die on the spot.
Thus, when his head fell, he could still see the sword gleams. His body had also split into several pieces.
Then, there was a loud crash!
Li Kui turned into a minced corpse.
The sword gleams that suddenly appeared disappeared as if they had never appeared.
Hiss!
In the distance, Song Zi Yang sucked in a breath of cold air.
A peak level eight Yuan Monarch disappeared in an instant.
Li Kui didn't even have the chance to use his full strength or his trump card.
His reaction was fast enough.
He was still slaughtered like a chicken …
Creak!
It was only at this moment that Song Zi Yang finally realized how terrifying the opponent he was going to face was.
"A Supreme Assassin!"
Qin Hao's heart twitched violently as he clenched his fists.
The ones who really killed Li Kui were a group of well-trained assassins, all of whom were above the Venerable Realm.
"Motherf * cker, why are there only three people?"
"Didn't the spy of the Wu family pat his chest and guarantee that Xiao Yi's daughter, the Crown Prince of Northern Yan, the Prince of Northern Qi, and that little bastard Duan Zijue would all be present?"
"The Wu Family and the Sun Family are f * cking useless!"
Accompanied by angry curses, powerful figures jumped down from the back of the hill, from the nearby bushes, and from the trees one after another, slowly gathering together.
After gathering, there were more than a hundred people.
Every one of them was at least at the Monarch Grade.
Among them, 12 people stood at the front of the group, exuding the aura of a peak Yuan Venerate that made Qin Hao feel a chill down his spine.
In addition, there were strange whooshing sounds in the air from time to time.
These strange whooshing sounds were naturally created by the Supreme Assassins who had killed Li Kui. They deliberately lingered in front of Qin Hao and Song Zi Yang but didn't make a move. They were full of contempt.
"Who are you?
General Xiao Xiu, he … "
Song Zi Yang took a step forward but was quickly stopped by Qin Hao.
"Stop shouting. That bastard Xiao Xiu is already dead!"
Opposite them, an old man stepped forward from the group of 12 peak Yuan Venerates.
The old man's left sleeve was empty. He was actually a person with a broken arm.
Then, the old man's skinny right hand suddenly lifted and a gust of wind swept up Xiao Xiu's body and smashed it in front of Qin Hao and Song Zi Yang.
Qin Hao and Song Zi Yang took a closer look and realized that the unscathed Xiao Xiu had just been an illusion.
A layer of light filtered through Xiao Xiu's body, revealing the wounds all over his body. His armor was shattered, and his body was full of broken blades and swords. His right arm was broken, and his calf had been chopped into several pieces and connected by a thin layer of skin. It was a tragic sight.
It was easy to imagine how miserable Xiao Xiu had been when he had been ambushed.
However, Xiao Xiu's left hand was still tightly clutching the white veil Xiao Han had torn from her battle skirt. The white veil had already been soaked in Xiao Xiu's blood.
Qin Hao's throat felt a little uncomfortable. He could tell that General Xiao Xiu was still concerned about Xiao Han even in death.
Furthermore, based on Xiao Han's daily behavior, it could be seen that she respected General Xiao Xiu very much.
This middle-aged man had to be an extremely important person by Xiao Yi's side.
With a heavy heart, Qin Hao squatted down slightly and took the blood-soaked white veil from Xiao Xiu's palm. He wrapped it around his hand and stood up abruptly. He looked coldly at the other side and said, "A bunch of traitors, lowly stray dogs!"
"What did you say, lad?"
"How dare you!"
"Die!"
The traitors were enraged. Immediately, a level nine Yuan Monarch struck his palm across the air in anger. A swift and fierce stream of light flew out from his palm.
Pa!
Qin Hao didn't even look at it. He swept his hand and sent the stream of light flying hundreds of meters away, causing an earth-shattering explosion.
This tyrannical counterattack left Song Zi Yang dumbstruck.
"Oh, not bad!"
The traitor Yuan Monarch was stunned. He was only a hair's breadth away from the Supremacy level. Although his cultivation wasn't considered strong among his companions, it definitely wasn't weak. It was considered average.
However, Qin Hao was only a level three Yuan Monarch, yet he was able to match up to him.
"Young man, you have good skills. Are you interested in joining Prince Zhenbei and working for the Fifth Prince?
If you nod, Old Man can guarantee that you won't die today! "
The leader of the traitors, the one-armed old man, looked at Qin Hao with admiration. He felt pity for him. It would be a pity to kill him. He was a good seedling worth nurturing. Prince Zhenbei was in need of talents.
"Prince Zhenbei?"
Song Zi Yang's expression turned ugly when he heard this. As the eldest son of the Song family, he wasn't unfamiliar with the name Prince Zhenbei. He should have died on the battlefield.
Could it be …
