Chapter 697 - 697 Creatures

697 Creatures

Luo Xiang and the others readied their weapons. Xiao Hong could feel the strong enemy coming this time, not a human, but, a terrifying creature that had appeared from the ground, even from all over the place.

Xiao Hong gets ready to widen his wings to protect Chen Ming who was beside him. This, might not be a battle for ordinary humans, the ground shakes so deep as if need time to resurface. Chen Ming realized that he swallowed his saliva whole as he felt Xiao Hong’s gaze on him. The Young Prince grips his sword’s hilt tightly.

Shin Mu Lei’s eyes shone. The young man saw something with a glint in his magical eyes.

“That is Pu Kong and others, the underground creature that Empress Yu Yan nurtured with all the negative energy she has, and, that creature will not hesitate even to eat human flesh,” said the young Shaman in a very calm and even tone.

Shin Ya stood in front of the young shaman, even though he was so good at spiritual knowledge, Shin Mu Lei was known to have no martial arts skills, he could only awaken all the protective auras at a certain time. Shin Ya cupped his two palms in front of his chest, rotating in a circle which instantly made everyone in the room except Empress Yu Yan and her men inside the protective circle.

Bai Ying and the Crown Prince were at the front, and they were not alone, like them, Yen Hui and Luo Wang had also already stood where they saw the beasts coming from the front. It was, perhaps according to everyone because the ground shaking was coming from the front, but, when everybody’s eyes were on the front, there was a scream from the soldiers at the very back.

“Ah!”

Generals Lu San and Fu Yi turned their bodies, looking at the countless soldiers who had fallen and drifted far away, their eyes widened as their bodies were torn through the air so easily.

“Akh!” the scream was so loud in horror.

.....

“What’s that?” everyone gets ready with their weapons.

Fu Yi drew his sword and slashed at the long beast that came out of the ground and tore everything within its reach.

Song Ma Yi and Wang Ye Hua were in the back row against a long octopus-like creature with a soft body but spiked skin surface. The tentacles came out of the ground attacking blindly. The soft part grabs the legs and pulls them while the spiked part tore the bodies apart so easily. They come out from all holes in the ground.

There is no time to think about what kind of creature that is, because another one coming from the door leading to the palace in front of Bai Ying, a huge tall creature came in after destroying the great door of Eagle hall.

Loud shrieks, and heavy steps, accompanied by the satisfied laughter of Empress Yu Yan who was still sitting quietly in her chair because the creatures she created would not attack her and her men.

“Hahahaha, oh this is so exciting, it’s been a long time since Pu Kong and the children have not come out and shown their strength. They’re so excited”

The huge rock-like creature smashed through the walls and pillars to get close to Bai Ying and the others.

Although Shin Ya’s protective energy can protect against building ruins, not from ugly creatures resembling large rocks with large heads, two arms, and two legs.

“Master Shin, what are you waiting for, quickly get everyone out of here!” Luo Xiang exclaimed.

Shinya nodded. He turned to Shin Mu Lei, took his hand, and pulled him out with the other hostages.

“Come on, let’s move out!” shout Shin Ya, fast the hostages get up and move in clusters to the door direction.

Elder Yi saw a chance he had been looking for, he stamped his foot and charged at the old lady who was standing near Empress Yu Yan to keep her away from the demonic woman.

“Bad girls, you should be taught a lesson”

Aunt Hu, that woman resisted Elder Yi’s attacks with the crutch that she often held as her weapon of choice. A white light appeared from Elder Yi’s palm almost hitting the old woman. Elder Yi’s movements were beautiful and graceful, but he attacked with such great force that his opponent didn’t realize that she was pushed quite far as the man opened his palm towards her.

“Damn” the old lady held her body with one leg behind her and rubbed her lips to see the face of a handsome white-haired man who seemed to underestimate her strength.

The old lady stamped her foot and attacked.

“Damn it!”

Violent winds swirled towards Elder Yi who dodged easily, his light body made him agile in dodging the attack of the old woman who was one of the elders of the Profound Priest clan who was known for black magic using young men as sacrifices. Even though they were warned not to interfere, they seemed like they couldn’t help but interfere. The arrival of Bai Ying and the others here was fate written from the day they were born. And Elder Yi could no longer restrain himself from punishing those too heinous people who used small children as gratification for their evil desires.

In the back, Fu Yi, along with Song Ma Yi and Wang Ye Hua tried to paralyze the long tentacled creatures that kept popping up from the ground. The three of them led their troops pushing the creature out of the Eagle hall area to the field to let Shin Ya’s entourage and the hostages out of the hall.

“Come on, run towards the palace exit!” shouted Shin Ya arranging everyone out.

Shin Ya was still holding hands with Shin Mu Lei who was frequently looking at Bai Ying and Yen Hui who were fighting at the front. His eyes glowed white looking at Bai Ying’s figure from behind. He widened his eyes in surprise.

“King of Nature”

At the front, Chen Ming, Bei Yau, and Xiao Hong were trying to take down the giant Pu Kong that had already destroyed half of the Eagle hall. Of course, even though Pu Kong’s strength was so great, he was still overwhelmed by everyone’s attacks, especially the red flames from the firebirds that hit his body.

“Xiao Hong attack the eye!” Chen Ming exclaimed. And Xiao Hong listens, he aims the eye and attacks it with his flames, at the same time Bei Yau stamped his foot up on Pu Kong’s head and pierced his eyes with his long sword. It was quite soft, he managed to stab it and it shot back down fast.

Bei Yau’s hands were in pain and trembling because even though the eyes looks soft, the stone rock’s eyeballs were much harder than he expected, luckily his sword wasn’t broken by it.

“Shit, he’s so tough”

“Arrggghhh!” the huge creature screamed, groaning in pain and furious. The giant that resembled a large red boulder kicked its big legs and tried to trample anyone who got in its way. Even swinging his hand smashed the walls and pillars of the hall to pieces.

Chen Ming was fighting with his sword, he looked around the hall where at the front Bai Ying, Luo Xiang, Yen Hui, and Luo Wang would be facing Empress Yu Yan.

Meanwhile, General Lu San and his men were facing the black-clad female bodyguard of Empress Yu Yan, and they were no ordinary people. One woman can face five warriors at once.

“They are very strong”

But General Lu San’s army had been trained even against the most powerful enemy, plus troops from all over the Wah Ye Palace joined forces to undermine Empress Yu Yan’s power. The hall already resembled a battlefield with not little casualties had fallen.

“Attack!” The Priestess clans were also not small in number, lately still kept popping up from inside the palace joining their comrades to attack.

Bai Ying and Yen Hui at the front faced Empress Yu Yan, while Luo Xiang and Luo Wang, both worked hand in hand to block the attack from Pu Kong which also hit them. While the members of the Priestess clan also attacked them.

One of the clan’s higher-ups was like a woman with a half-white and black face who was already standing in front of Luo Xiang holding a weapon above her head, a circular guillotine that he used to cut off a human’s head in one strike.

The woman who was dressed quite openly showing her shoulders to her thin back licked her lips, apparently, she had just enjoyed human blood because some of it still remained at the corner of her lips. She smirked looking at Luo Xiang who was ready to face her with his longsword.

“Hehehe, another delicious meal, I’ll be so good with you my dear, promise that”

Luo Xiang pulled his lips, rolling his eyeballs upwards. He took a deep breath.

“Heh, enough with those disgusting creatures, but why is there such an ugly person in this world?” he complained.
