Chapter 196: Can’t Give Up One
Muffled groans were heard one after another, but no one screamed. This scene hurt the hearts of many demons hiding in the dark.
"Brother, are we just going to watch helplessly? Why don't you save them? Where's the Lord? Isn't she coming?"
"No, the Lord will not abandon us. They are already on their way, and we can't let the plan go to waste!"
"But, my brother is there, I'm afraid I can't bear it anymore..."
The area was full of people watching the fun, all pointing and talking. Some cursed and beat the monsters, but more people disagreed with Shi Ran's actions, thinking it was too much. These monsters had lived here for a long time and had never done anything evil.
But they dare not come out, and the people can never defeat the officials.
Princess Xiaoliu grabbed Xiaoyao's waist and took her off the crowded street, quickly flying over the rooftops on both sides! The thirty or so secret guards behind her also took off and followed closely behind the two princesses!
"Who is that?"
"It's Princess Haoling! Is she going to rescue the demon tribe? Quick, let's go too!"
"Princess Wang likes General Xiangliu, and the general is also a demon. Princess Wang is here to help the demons!"
On the other side, in the wide square, this is the place where the extremely evil people are punished and executed. It is a place to warn all criminals to think about the consequences before doing bad things.
Now, hundreds of powerless demons were chained, and more than a dozen soldiers, filled with hostility, kept waving long whips, whipping the demons back and forth!
"The incense stick time is almost up. Which one should I kill?"
"It's you!"
Shi Ran raised his chin proudly, like the King of Hell who ruled over all life and death, and gently raised his hand! Pointing at a half-grown child!
A soldier pulled the child's collar flatteringly and dragged him to Shi Ran.
"Sir, would you like me to do it for you? The demon race is inherently lowly, don't get your hands dirty!"
Shi Ran was satisfied with the soldier's understanding and nodded in appreciation, his eyes glancing disdainfully at the child who was glaring at him!
"Pooh!"
A mouthful of thick blood suddenly sprayed onto Shi Ran's face, leaving him stunned for a moment!
"You're looking for death! Beat me until I die!"
A roar echoed through the square. This sound was imbued with spiritual power, allowing it to be heard clearly for miles around! He did this on purpose!
In an attic in the distance, there were a dozen demon slaves who had just come out of the death arena. They were all watching everything with bloodshot eyes, and then they all turned to look at the tiger demon in the lead.
"Brother! He is my brother, I want to save him, please, let me save him!"
"Wait a little longer, if it doesn't work, we will go out and rescue people!"
"I can't wait any longer. He's my only brother. My parents were killed by them. I promised them that I would protect my brother! Now, I have to watch him being beaten to death! I can't do this..."
His heart felt like it was being tightly pulled by countless hands. At this moment, he didn't want to care what the Lord's plan was or how serious the consequences of going out would be. He just wanted to go out and save his only brother!
"Don't stop me, if you don't go, I will go!"
Just as a fight was about to break out over whether to save the child or not, Shi Ran suddenly raised his sword and aimed it at the child's heart, about to stab him! A furious shout spread across the area, and with a powerful aura, he rushed towards the soldiers who were holding their whips high.
"Shi Ran, if you dare to kill any of them, I will make sure your body is not intact!"
Accompanied by more than a dozen screams and the soldiers who surrounded them retreating continuously, the sword in Shi Ran's hand flew out and shot straight into the throat of the soldier who had just tried to please Shi Ran. He stared with disbelief, and the long whip in his hand fell down. He instinctively stepped back and wanted to reach out to draw the sword, but he fell to the ground and died with his eyes open!
Shi Ran turned around in fear for a moment, but once he realized who was coming, he calmly adjusted his sleeves! He turned around calmly and was about to laugh at Xiao Yao for meddling in other people's affairs, but before the corners of his lips could fully rise, he was blasted back in dismay by a strong wind!
"Ah He, how are you? Don't be afraid, we are here. I'm sorry, I'm late!"
"Sister Wang Ji, I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid of death."
Xiaoyao's eyes were red as she looked at Ah He who had happily greeted her when he came to the restaurant to check on her some time ago. Now Ah He was lying here covered in blood. She almost didn't have time to save him!
Xiaoyao took out the pill from the space and gave it to Ah He to eat, and gently persuaded him: "Ah He will be fine, everyone will be fine. Sister said that I would protect you, and sister always keeps her word!"
"Ah He, believe me, I'm so tired, I want to sleep for a while!"
"Okay, everything will be fine when you wake up!"
Looking at the blood all over the ground, Xiao Yao mixed a few drops of her own blood into the pill and fed it to him. Soon, he became the lively and innocent Ah He again.
Hundreds of demons were whipped without crying or shouting. Seeing Ah He about to be beaten to death, they just turned their heads away stubbornly, unable to bear to watch. But when they saw Xiao Yao and Xiao Liu coming over, they shed silent tears like a group of children who had suffered grievances. They knew that the Lord had never given up on them, and the Second Lord had come to save them.
Shi Ran let out a sneer. A dignified Princess Hao Ling, yet she's hanging out with a bunch of lowly demons. Truly unworthy of the stage. After three hundred years of wandering, she's become assimilated to them! Where's the trace of the noble Princess left? Brushing off the dust kicked up by the strong wind, Shi Ran, seeing they didn't dare to hurt him, regained his confidence. With a wave of his hand, he summoned all the soldiers to surround him. He then slowly stepped forward, his chin raised in disdain, and fearlessly questioned loudly:
"Princess Hao Ling, this is our Xiyan territory. How we do things is not your turn to meddle in our affairs! The capture of the demon slaves is the will of His Majesty. It is for the safety of thousands of people. Do you want to rebel?"
Xiaoyao ordered Yinyue to arrange for someone to take good care of Ah He, and then took out ten bottles of elixirs and had them distributed to the injured demons. Then he slowly turned around, his face regaining its composure. Looking at the smug Shi Ran, the corners of his mouth curled up into an intoxicating smile.
Shi Ran looked at Xiao Yao's smile and suddenly became alert. Seeing Xiao Yao ignoring the soldiers around him and slowly approaching him, he stiffened his neck and gritted his teeth, but his voice trembled a little. He didn't understand why. Xiao Yao was obviously a waste without any spiritual power. What was there to be afraid of him!
"You, what do you want to do? I'm just following orders! I'm not afraid of you! If you dare to hurt me, His Majesty will not let you go!"
Xiaoyao walked up to Shi Ran, her smile becoming even more intoxicating. She leaned closer to Shi Ran and asked softly:
"You've forgotten how the Seventh Prince of Yueliang died so quickly? Didn't you see how tragically they died? Huh?"
