Zheng Haoyuan’s complexion was pale, and his breathing was rapid as he clung tightly to Zheng Nianru’s hand, completely forgetting to flee.
Zheng Nianru didn’t move, feeling that escaping was useless. So many guards couldn’t even stop one monster, but in her previous life, she had known nothing about this creature. She hadn’t even laid eyes on such monsters, and even hearing about them seed like re exaggerations from others.
However, in this life, Zheng Nianru had no choice but to take seriously this monster she had never cared about before.
What exactly were they? Why did they keep appearing in Nanzheng State, and what was their purpose?
But now, there was no ti for Zheng Nianru to ponder these questions. She grabbed Zheng Haoyuan and rolled directly into the embrace of the Northern ng Savage.
"Go——" Zheng Nianru shouted, and the young man instantly understood what Zheng Nianru was planning to do. He imdiately grabbed the Savage’s arm, and the Savage excitedly lifted Zheng Haoyuan with one arm and Zheng Nianru with the other, speeding forward.
The whooshing sound of the wind was imdiate, and Xue Liu trembled under the table, worried about the Commandery Princess’s safety.
Dozens of guards tangled with the shadow, imdiately slowing its pace. One guard grabbed the shadow’s arm and instantly felt sothing was off. The next mont, he looked down to see the arm he was holding resembled a withered branch, its skin like dry bark wrapped around bones. Before he could react, the shadowy monster suddenly turned its head to look at the guard. The guard, looking up, saw not eyes but a pair of pitch-black orbs. Before the guard could respond, a cloud of black smoke sprayed directly into his face.
The guard stiffened all at once, like a wooden figure, and the next mont, he was flung out by the shadow, falling hard on the ground.
The guards on the ground imdiately went to help, but suddenly, a scream was heard. The guard, frightened, scrambled away, bumping into another body and screaming again in terror.
The Loyal Warriors of Wen Family were disoriented. Lu Hu shouted loudly, barely managing to stabilize the guards on the scene. The remaining guards imdiately surrounded the shadow but no one dared to approach or touch any part of the shadowy monster again.
The Savage carried Zheng Haoyuan and Zheng Nianru swiftly across the courtyard toward the wall, with four or five quick guards catching up to protect behind the Savage.
The shadowy monster, clearly in a hurry, started to rampage in the encircling formation.
With so experience now, the Loyal Warriors of Wen Family no longer t force with force but used their weapons to fend off the shadow’s charges. Thirty-four n trapped the shadow in a semi-circle, like a giant, elastic net.
"Jump up——" When the Savage finally reached the wall, Zheng Nianru seed to see hope. Although the Savage didn’t quite understand what Zheng Haoyuan ant, a nearby guard jumped onto the wall, and Zheng Haoyuan imdiately pointed at that guard.
The Savage leaped up in a bound, and Zheng Nianru sighed in relief. From her recent observations, she felt that although the Loyal Warriors of Wen Family might not be able to defeat a shadowy monster, they could confine it for a while. Their biggest risk was being collateral damage in the hiding place—that way, their deaths would be most unjust.
Just then, a terrifying scream from the shadowy monster was heard again from behind, followed by Lu Hu leading a group of Loyal Warriors of Wen Family. Their formation was like a net with a big hole smashed through it, and the imnse force scattered them in all directions.
And the next mont, the shadow charged directly toward the Savage’s direction.
"Protect His Highness——" Lu Hu, disregarding his own pain, knew that if anything happened to Zheng Haoyuan, none of the Loyal Warriors of Wen Family would survive.
As the shadowy monster charged toward the Savage, Zheng Nianru’s pupils dilated with each fast-approaching mont, forgetting to dodge and knowing that her modest Kung Fu skills were futile at this mont.
The Savage seed to have realized the danger behind him, hesitated slightly as he was about to jump over the wall, and in the next mont, suddenly shifted from supporting to embracing, holding Zheng Nianru and Zheng Haoyuan tightly against his chest. Before Zheng Nianru and Zheng Haoyuan could react, a trendous force almost hurled the Savage and the two of them aloft.
Lu Hu imdiately stopped his charging figure, staring as the Savage curled into a ball and smashed directly against the wall, creating a massive hole; stones and mortar flew out with the Savage.
"Your Highness—"
"Commandery Princess—" Xue Liu, just crawling out, witnessed this scene.
A deathly silence filled the air, everyone’s heart sank to the bottom. The first to regain their senses were the guards closest by, because they noticed, the Savage suddenly moved, slightly extending his hands, allowing Zheng Haoyuan and Zheng Nianru to struggle their heads out of his embrace.
"Protect His Highness—"
"Quick, protect His Highness—" voices ca from all around, instilling confidence in all the Loyal Warriors of the Wen Family.
All the guards instantly rushed toward Zheng Haoyuan, no one noticed that the dark shadow monster was faster than them, charging directly at the Savage.
"Your Highness, run—" Lu Hu realized too late, already too far to sprint, as Zheng Haoyuan, just scrambling out half of his body, was about to pull Zheng Nianru, only to feel a dark shadow plunging down from the sky.
"Monster, et your death—"
"Monster, I’ll fight you to the end." A guard lunged at the dark shadow monster, ready to block the monster with his body. A scene of bodies strewn everywhere could almost be anticipated.
Just at this critical mont, suddenly, a loud and urgent spell echoed above them, the dark shadow monster’s figure staggered in midair, then imdiately turned around, preparing to flee.
"Gu Dao, block its path—" The crowd only saw a blue figure accompanied by a golden light directly blocking the way of the dark shadow.
The Loyal Warriors of the Wen Family on the ground, whether standing, lying, or kneeling, watched this scene in the air.
The dark shadow monster had no intention of fighting, only intent on escaping.
Zong Yunqian sneered coldly, thinking of escaping? Did it justify the hard days he had spent tracking it?
"et your death—" Zong Yuanqian suddenly charged at the dark shadow monster himself, just as everyone was sweating with nervousness, the shadow monster, like a puppet whose life gate had been grabbed, suddenly lost all vitality.
Everyone on the ground was dumbfounded.
"Creak—" The door suddenly opened at this mont, and two people walked in, initially having no mood to observe the scene in the courtyard.
"Where is Zheng Haoyuan?" Prince Duan had just spoken when he noticed sothing awry ahead, instantly turning pale with the Loyal Warriors of the Wen Family on the ground, almost weak at the knees.
