Chapter 253
Hundreds of refugees were hung on the city walls, not only adult beastmen and elderly beastmen, but even a beast cub less than a month old, its fur not yet fully grown.
It had no idea of the fate it was about to face, instinctively emitted pitiful whimpers, drowned out by the screams of fear, curses, and pleas for mercy.
Several members of the rebel army stood beneath the city walls, dressed neatly, elegant yet cruel.
They held guns, as if participating in some interesting gambling game, with cruel smiles on their faces.
A blonde middle-aged beastman generously took out a high-level crystal core as a prize.
This was a brutal shooting game.
Within one minute, whoever killed the most prisoners would win this crystal core!
“Heh heh ~ See that tiny cub over there, this really tests skill, whoever can hit it with one shot will count as two people p>
“No one compete with me, this little runt is mine! I’m going to get this prize today p>
“With you? Whoever gets it first, it’s theirs! My shooting is number one p>
Human lives were just entertainment to them.
The one who proposed the game, the referee, let out a loud laugh.
The next second, an earth blade sliced through the air like the hardest steel blade, cutting through his neck, his laughter abruptly stopped, and a line of blood appeared on his throat.
Thump!
His head, like a ball, rolled off his neck and spun several times on the ground.
His face was frozen in a mad, terrifying smile.
Almost simultaneously, black fog turned into serpents, pierced the chests of the others, biting into their hearts, devouring the crystal cores!
In the blink of an eye, these rebel army members turned into cold corpses.
The serpents, now black fog, melted the bodies into pools of blood, cleaning up the scene.
Nearby, more rebel army members heard the commotion and came to assist, surrounding Shen Tang and Xue Yinzhou.
The two of them fought their way through obstacles, Shen Tang’s killing skills improved significantly along the journey.
She had mostly been protected by beast husbands in the past, and had rarely had the chance to use her Seventh Rank Peak superpower; she initially seemed a bit rusty, but through this experience, she mastered her powers completely!
Facing hundreds of encircling rebel army members, her dark, alluring cat eyes showed no fear, her night-black long hair and blood-stained robe fluttered in the wind, mixed with the stench of blood.
She casually tore off a piece of fabric from her sleeve, tying up her troublesome long hair.
The next moment, she leapt into battle, raising her hand and claiming multiple lives.
The beastmen of the rebel army were momentarily stunned by such a beautiful female, and in that instant, she sent them to hell!
The female was extremely ruthless, her powerful superpowers shocking and terrifying the rebel army!
They adored beautiful, weak females because they posed no threat and could be easily trampled, but a powerful female with superpowers was a dangerous, formidable threat!
This group of rebel army members was instantly angered, drawing their weapons, intending to shoot Shen Tang on the spot!
Shen Tang’s eyes were as cold as ice and snow; this time, she didn’t even need Xue Yinzhou to act. She quickly formed an indestructible earth wall in front of her.
The attacks from their expensive advanced weapons were completely blocked by the earth wall.
Then, countless sharp earth spikes burst from the ground, forming a labyrinth-like trap, enclosing the rebel army within, with no escape.
They were like fish on a chopping board, pierced by earth spikes, letting out mournful screams before falling silent.
After dealing with this group of rebel army members, Shen Tang quickly approached the city wall, pointed her fingers to form earth blades, cutting the ropes and saving the townsfolk.
These townsfolk thought they were doomed, only to be saved unexpectedly, moved to tears by Princess Shen Tang’s brave and fearless figure, they were at a loss for words other than kneeling to express gratitude.
Shen Tang told them to get up quickly and had someone lead this group of townsfolk through the underground tunnel to leave the Imperial City.
Shen Tang, accompanied by Xue Yinzhou, continued to the next war-ravaged area.
Meanwhile, Yun Han was escorting the Emperor, Empress, and the nobles from the banquet to a safe area for shelter.
The Emperor insisted on returning to the Imperial Palace.
As a subject, Yun Han had to obey the Emperor’s orders, reluctantly bringing the Emperor and Empress back to the Imperial Palace, leaving heavy troops there as the last line of defense.
In such chaotic circumstances, the palace guards and Imperial Physicians had long fled.
Shen Xu was severely injured and had not received treatment, his breath growing weaker.
Having grown up together, Yun Han couldn’t bear to see him die, so he suggested to the Emperor to leave the group and take Shen Xu to the hospital.
The hospital doctors surely had fled as well, but there would definitely be plenty of healing medicines left, which could be used to supplement supplies.
The selfish Old Emperor didn’t want a Ninth Rank Beastman to leave, but seeing his son nearing death, felt conflicted and distressed.
Although he wanted to pass the throne to Shen Qingli due to her S-level spiritual power and popular support, internally, the Old Emperor favored this only son, and agreed to let Yun Han take him to the hospital first.
Along the way, Yun Han dealt with many rebel army members.
As he progressed, he found the number of rebel army members decreasing.
Just as he was feeling astonished, he suddenly heard the sounds of battle from farther ahead.
Ahead, there were numerous corpses dressed in rebel army attire.
The corpses piled up like mountains, blood flowed like rivers, clearly indicating fierce battles!
He looked surprised and impressed, thinking that some formidable male beastman had fought heroically ahead, he wanted to go help, but what appeared before him was a slender, elegant silhouette.
Surrounded and attacked by ruthless rebel army members, her figure seemed fragile yet resilient, like a delicate flower easily broken by rain, yet simultaneously like a drawn sword, in the blink of an eye she claimed dozens of heads, breaking through the encirclement.
Yun Han’s pupils shook, suddenly stunned.
How could it be… her p>
Shen Tang was focused on clearing out the rebel army and didn’t notice the two silhouettes suddenly appearing from behind.
With a flick of her finger, her lethal blades spun, claiming heads swiftly like lightning.
A powerful Seventh Rank Beastman punched at her vital point.
The cat beast’s reflexes were exceptionally fast; Shen Tang’s movements were even more agile and sharp than male beastmen, her body incredibly flexible, bending to evade the heavy strike, then seizing the opportunity, her fingers pierced the enemy’s abdomen, crushed the viscera, a fatal blow!
A few enraged rebel army members rushed towards her, she was unfazed, her brow and eyes cold and stern as a killing god, swiftly dealing with this group!
After prolonged combat, she had suffered some injuries, her torn clothes stained with blood, unsure whether it was hers or someone else’s.
The woman’s long hair was tied high, flowing with the wind, valiant and neat. She stood atop a stack of corpses, her exquisite face stained with a hint of blood. Below her, were mountains of corpses and seas of blood, behind her, the sunset was like residual blood.
This scene was indescribably stunning and beautiful! Captivating!
Yun Han held his breath, momentarily mesmerized.
