Chapter 225: Escaping
Not a word of disagreement. The Prime Minister of the Dragon Kingdom waved her hand, and dozens of cultivators immediately appeared and engaged them in battle.
“I am the princess of the Dragon Kingdom! How dare you make a move on me!”
Seeing them make a move, Long Bing was immediately furious.
However, even after she had stated her identity, these people acted as if they hadn’t heard and were completely unmoved.
“It’s better not to waste your breath. They’re not from this country.”
Xiao Wu noticed the insignia on their clothes. It was the insignia of a mercenary organization. These people were all hired cultivators. They would listen to whoever paid them. It was useless to talk.
Long Bing’s face was grim, and she nodded helplessly. Since she knew that the Prime Minister was the main culprit, the important thing now was to take her down. However, the moment this thought arose, she was stunned by what happened next.
A person silently appeared behind the Prime Minister. These people exuded a terrifying aura. They were all Nascent Soul cultivators.
“So many cultivators! How much money did she spend!”
Su Yan’s face showed surprise. Long Bing’s expression was quite unpleasant.
Hiring cultivators cost money. The more powerful they were, the more spirit stones were needed. The Prime Minister had hired so many people? How was she so rich? Where did her money come from?
Just thinking about it, Long Bing felt a faint pain in her heart.
“Be careful!”
Seeing Long Bing in a daze, Xiao Wu quickly reminded her.
Several Nascent Soul cultivators attacked, and a great battle was unavoidable.
Su Yan had long been prepared for battle. However, with so many people, it was still very strenuous for him. The moment the battle began, he was directly facing several cultivators. These were all Golden Core stage experts. If it weren’t for his numerous magic treasures, he might have been captured from the very beginning.
“Eh, not bad strength.”
No one present paid any attention to Su Yan. Men were all delicate little lambs. This was a consensus among all cultivators in the cultivation world. They hadn’t expected him to be able to fight back and forth with several experts of the same level. It was really unexpected.
However, that was as far as it went.
The Prime Minister had hired a large number of cultivators. Seeing that they couldn’t take down Su Yan for the time being, more people rushed up. They had no martial virtue, no shame in bullying the weak. As cultivators who were paid to do things, it was more accurate to say that they were happy to do so.
Even though Su Yan was very strong, he was a little overwhelmed when facing so many people at the same time.
A sword light flashed, and he dodged it nimbly. A bolt of lightning came, and he dodged again.
But the other party’s attacks were like a tide. It was impossible for him to dodge them all. At this time, he had to use his spiritual energy to resist. But his spiritual energy was limited. With such a rapid consumption, he soon couldn’t hold on.
“Junior Brother, I’ll help you!”
Seeing Su Yan in a perilous situation, Long Bing couldn’t help but want to go up and help.
“Stay put!”
A Nascent Soul stage hired cultivator suddenly released his spiritual energy, and a few sword strikes suppressed Long Bing.
“Damn it!”
Long Bing gritted her silver teeth. Seeing her junior brother in a dangerous situation but unable to rescue him really made her anxious. It seemed that if she wanted to help her junior brother, she had to deal with her first.
At this thought, Long Bing infused her sword with spiritual energy and sent the Nascent Soul female cultivator flying with one strike. Just as she was about to press her advantage, she was entangled by several Golden Core female cultivators.
“She’s very strong! Let’s go together!”
As a true disciple of an immortal sect, the techniques and cultivation methods Long Bing cultivated were very strong, completely on a different level from these rogue cultivators. That’s why she could suppress an expert of the same level. But besides the Nascent Soul female cultivator, there were also several Golden Core female cultivators helping, which made it impossible for her to take down the other party for the time being.
Long Bing was in a stalemate here, and Xiao Wu was not having an easy time either. The Prime Minister was rich and generous and had hired five Nascent Soul female cultivators at once. One of them was fighting with Long Bing, and the remaining four were fighting with Xiao Wu.
Although she had already taken half a step into the Soul Formation stage, she had not broken through yet. Under the entanglement of the four Nascent Soul female cultivators, Xiao Wu was also in a stalemate for a while, with no results.
“The situation is not good now.”
Su Yan looked at the situation on the field, his eyes showing anxiety. And at this moment, several Golden Core female cultivators seized a flaw and suddenly attacked together. Wind, fire, and lightning were mixed together and bombarded over. It was already too late for him to dodge.
“Boom!”
The lightning and flames bombarded the spiritual energy shield. This strike caused Su Yan’s spiritual energy to drop sharply, and his body was subjected to a strong backlash. A trace of bright red blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and he was immediately injured internally.
Ever since he had arrived here, Su Yan had been maintaining an illusion to hide his appearance to avoid trouble. At this moment, his spiritual energy had shrunk greatly, and he could no longer maintain it, revealing his true face underneath.
The beautiful young man was in a white robe, his face a little pale from weakness. The blood at the corner of his mouth made people’s hearts ache. They wished they could hold him in their arms and comfort him.
Seeing this, the female cultivators present were immediately stunned. No matter what they saw, they could maintain a calm heart, and their minds were very firm. But Su Yan’s appearance was too demonic. It was hard not to be amazed at first sight, and their gazes were attracted by him.
The Prime Minister of the Dragon Kingdom’s eyes lit up when she saw Su Yan’s appearance. She had already passed the age of being unable to walk when she saw a handsome man and no longer had a great need for this aspect. But Su Yan’s true appearance had stirred her instinct as a woman. Such a beautiful young man… how could she not collect him?
“Capture him for me! Be careful not to hurt him.”
The employer issued an order, and the female cultivators who were paid to do things of course chose to obey. In this day and age, there were not many men who were both beautiful and capable. They would just have a good time with him.
And so, the pressure Su Yan was facing was greatly reduced. From a perilous situation, it had turned into a flustered one. They did not continue to be ruthless. It was just that this kind of teasing attack made Su Yan very angry.
A sword light came, not to attack his body, but to pierce his clothes. Every time his clothes were damaged, revealing his snow-white skin, these female cultivators would blush, which was really infuriating.
If you’re going to fight, then fight properly. To fight while teasing me… what is this?
A bunch of perverts! Su Yan was so angry he wanted to kill someone!
Su Yan was very angry, but someone was even angrier than him. As the person closest to Su Yan, Xiao Wu was about to explode with anger at this moment.
Su Yan was hers. These hateful female cultivators were actually teasing her junior brother in front of her. It was simply an unforgivable crime.
“Get lost!”
Xiao Wu was furious in her heart. Her spiritual energy erupted, and she cut down the four Nascent Soul cultivators with one sword strike, rushing towards Su Yan.
The Golden Core female cultivators who were watching Su Yan saw her rush over and all raised their swords to block. But because of the realm gap, they were sent flying by Xiao Wu with three punches and two kicks.
“Are you alright?”
Xiao Wu came to Su Yan’s side, held his waist, and asked with concern.
“Do I look alright to you!”
Su Yan’s cheeks were red with anger. His clothes were very damaged. These female cultivators were too hateful. They were clearly no match for him in a one-on-one fight, yet they had forced him into such a pathetic state.
“Uh.”
Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment and quickly came to her senses.
“Wait! I’ll get revenge for you!”
Xiao Wu wanted to teach these Golden Core female cultivators a harsh lesson and let them know that some people could not be provoked. But before she could act, she was grabbed by Su Yan.
“Are you crazy? There are so many of them! We still have some spiritual energy left! Why don’t we just leave?”
Now, they still had a lot of spiritual energy left in their bodies and could barely hold on against the crowd. If they continued to be entangled, the situation would be hard to say.
Xiao Wu came to her senses, tapped the ground with her toes, held Su Yan, and was about to leave. Long Bing followed closely behind. The hired female cultivators wanted to stop them. Xiao Wu infused eighty percent of her spiritual energy into her body and sent them flying with one sword strike.
“Rumble!”
The Prime Minister’s residence was more than half destroyed by this moment. Many houses had collapsed, and more than a dozen female cultivators were knocked down from the sky, spitting out blood.
“You bunch of trash! You actually let them escape!”
Seeing this, the Prime Minister was furious. But besides impotent rage, there was nothing she could do.
On the other side, Su Yan was taken away by Xiao Wu and fled all the way to Long Bing’s residence.
“Are you alright, Junior Brother?”
As soon as they arrived at a safe place, Xiao Wu couldn’t help but ask with concern. At this moment, Su Yan’s face was pale, which made her extremely worried.
“I’m fine. I’m just out of spiritual energy.”
Su Yan waved his hand, stood up from Xiao Wu’s arms, took out a pill and swallowed it. His face immediately became much rosier.
Seeing this, Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief. Su Yan asked, “What do we do now?”
Knowing that the Prime Minister was the mastermind behind everything, should they arrest her now?
Long Bing nodded and said, “We can arrest her now. You go back to the imperial palace and dispatch the guards. There are also many cultivators there. With their help, it shouldn’t be a problem to deal with the Prime Minister. But your body?”
Long Bing looked at him with some worry.
Su Yan said, “I already said there’s no problem. There’s no time to lose. Let’s go quickly.”
Long Bing was also worried that things would change if they delayed, so she didn’t say any more.
On the way to the imperial palace, she was secretly glad. This time, it was really dangerous. She hadn’t expected the Prime Minister to have set a trap beforehand. If it weren’t for Xiao Wu’s high strength, they might have been captured.
But fortunately, the worst had not happened. Because of the Prime Minister’s carelessness, thinking that she had them in the bag, she had instead obtained crucial evidence.
At this thought, Long Bing’s heart relaxed a little. Since the Prime Minister was the mastermind behind the scenes and they already had evidence, then everything would be over once they captured her, right?
Although the Prime Minister had hired many cultivators, the cultivators supported by the Dragon Kingdom were not to be trifled with either.
Thinking this, however, an unexpected event occurred, which completely thwarted her plans.
“Who are you?”
“I am the princess of the Dragon Kingdom! Let me in quickly!”
Hearing Long Bing’s words, the imperial palace guards looked at each other and then directly made a move.
Long Bing was shocked. It was Xiao Wu who was quick. She sent the two of them flying with one sword strike. The commotion here attracted attention, and more people surrounded them, picking up their weapons and wanting to make a move.
“Are you crazy? Don’t you know who I am?”
Long Bing said loudly in anger, but these people acted as if they hadn’t heard.
