Chapter 173 Kneel

Mu Chen only felt that Li Jingui's entire body was pressing on her, with her head drooping on her shoulders, motionless.

She immediately dropped her two swords, grabbed Li Jingui and screamed, "Mother, Mother!"

But I couldn't hear any response.

Thinking of Li Jingui's last words, tears immediately streamed down her face. "Why...why on earth...?"

If Li Jingui hadn't pushed her to the ground just now, she would have been the one hit by the spiritual arrow.

Is it just a coincidence, or is it intentional?

No one knows the answer except the deceased Li Jingui, but Mu Chen would rather believe it is the latter.

She helped Li Jingui sit up, turned her head and looked at the circular platform with hatred.

Over there, Liu Dazhong was hiding the bow and arrow in his hand behind his back in panic.

He never thought of killing Li Jingui, so how could he actually kill his mother?

The person he wanted to kill was Mu Chen.

In the story he made up, his sister had already died, so when he saw Mu Chen show up and save Li Jingui, the only thought that came to his mind was to kill her.

As long as Mu Chen is killed, the truth of the story will be impossible to determine, and it will become the truth and be accepted by the world.

But who would have thought that the moment the arrow left the bowstring, Li Jingui actually pushed Mu Chen down. What a fool.

Liu Dazhong hid the bow and arrow behind his back, and suddenly met Mu Chen's hateful gaze, feeling guilty.

He roared in anger, "I want to kill you, the rebellious daughter who murdered her father! You're a jinx, and now, even my mother has been killed by you. Are you satisfied?!"

When Mu Chen heard Liu Dazhong's words, his heart was filled with rage, burning like a prairie fire. How dare this beast say such shameless words? His mother died because of him, and he didn't even have the slightest bit of shame?

She raised her hand to wipe away the tears from her face and picked up Li Jingui.

At this time, the first wave of spiritual arrows had been shot, and the square fell into a brief silence, but from time to time there were still a few suppressed and fearful cries.

The women breathed a sigh of relief, but when they saw Mu Chen's cold expression, they hurriedly retreated and said fearfully, "It's none of our business. It was Liu Dazhong who killed her!"

Mu Chen looked up at them and was about to say something when Zhang Jiuxiao and Yongye's men surrounded them.

Zhang Jiuxiao placed his hand on Mu Chen's shoulder and whispered, "Mu Chen, I understand you must be feeling very sad after losing your mother. But the situation is critical now, and we don't have time to waste. We must break the formation quickly and kill Liu Dazhong, who is at the center of it, or we will all die here."

Mu Chen was stunned for a moment. Her mother had always been instructed by Liu Dazhong to go against Yong Ye. Zhang Jiuxiao must hate her very much.

Even so, she was still willing to come and comfort her, and her heart was deeply moved.

She took a deep breath, suppressed the sadness in her heart, and said, "Okay."

So he walked up to the group of women and handed Li Jingui to them. When they heard that Yong Ye was going to deal with Liu Dazhong, they were secretly glad. Seeing that Mu Chen entrusted Li Jingui to them, they naturally did not dare to refuse.

At this critical moment of life and death, there is no point in dwelling on past disputes and grudges. What is more important is to work together to overcome the current crisis.

The women watched Mu Chen, Zhang Jiuxiao and the others rushing towards the circular platform, their emotions mixed.

Suddenly, someone stepped out and said, "Add me in!" and followed.

"Instead of sitting and waiting to die, we might as well fight with all our might!" Many women who had reached the Qi training stage stood up.

They had already consumed most of their spiritual power when fighting against the arrow formation just now, but now they joined Yongye's team without hesitation.

Before, he followed Li Jingui's lead and supported Liu Dazhong for the sake of immediate benefits. Now that he knew that Liu Dazhong was someone he could not cooperate with, he had no choice but to turn to someone else.

At the same time, the family heads on the circular platform changed their expressions instantly when they saw the people coming to kill them.

Liu Dazhong gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, senior. Even if a powerful Yuanying realm master came, there would be nothing they could do about this four-sided killing formation. With just these people, they definitely can't break through this core of the formation!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved it. Immediately, several brilliant white lights burst out from around the circular platform, carrying a powerful aura, and blasted towards Zhang Jiuxiao and the others.

Zhang Jiuxiao waved the magic sword in his hand, and the sword light turned into a long dragon, crushing the bright white light into pieces.

Mu Chen wielded his two swords, their blades as sharp as lightning, shattering the white light that attacked him. The others also cast spells, engaging the magic circle. For a moment, only the clanging sounds of fighting could be heard, and the battle was fierce.

However, the attack of the formation was continuous, and many family heads were replenishing the energy of the formation. For a while, no one could break it down.

Just at this moment, the sky darkened again. Mu Chen turned his head and saw thousands of spiritual arrows suspended in the air, bowstrings stretched taut, the flashing arrow tips as dense as leeches in a wheat field.

Her scalp went numb and cold sweat broke out on her forehead again. This was the beginning of the second wave of arrows.

Behind him, Liu Dazhong sneered evilly, "My dear sister, hurry up and be buried with mother. She is waiting for you."

Mu Chen was furious. Even if she died, he had to kill Liu Dazhong first!

Just at this moment, a brilliant spiritual light suddenly burst out from the magic circle and hit her body directly.

Mu Chen fell backwards, and the two swords in her hands fell to the ground. She wanted to get up unwillingly, but she felt a sharp pain in her body, which made her unable to move.

Defending against the arrow formation, saving Li Jingui, and fighting against the white light attack from the center of the formation... After a series of fights, the magic power in her body has been exhausted.

Zhang Jiuxiao was also exhausted, and the others also fell to the ground injured.

Turning around and looking at the thousands of spiritual arrows aimed at them in the air, real despair suddenly welled up in their eyes.

Are they really going to die here?

Why do evil people like Liu Dazhong succeed, while they can only be slaughtered forever?

I really can't accept this.

Mu Chen endured the pain and grabbed the handle of the knife that fell to the ground, but he couldn't even swing the knife.

Is there really no way to kill Liu Dazhong? Your Highness, Your Highness, why haven't you appeared yet?

Did he give up on Zhongzhou? Or did he feel that it wasn't worth fighting for them?

Yes, most people here hate the demons, and her mother takes the lead in opposing the demons. She, who has become a demon, will even be shaken by her mother.

Why should we save them when they are so miserable?

Just as he was thinking hopelessly, there was suddenly a loud bang, and the blood-red light shield covering the square suddenly exploded. The sky was full of blood light bursting like fireworks, and a huge and brilliant light bloomed in the air.

Immediately afterwards, the thousands of spiritual arrows in the sky were blown into ashes in this brilliant fireworks display, and the tiny spiritual lights fell like meteors, sprinkling all over everyone.

Everyone was stunned, and Liu Dazhong's eyes widened.

Around the periphery of the magic circle, there appeared thousands of demons wearing armor and holding scimitars. They surrounded the entire square.

Seeing this, the male soldier who had wanted to escape before immediately tried to run away. The magician raised the scimitar in his hand and chopped off the other's head without mercy, and blood splattered on the spot.

The rest of the male soldiers suddenly became weak and collapsed to the ground.

The demon warrior shouted coldly, "His Majesty the Demon Lord has arrived, why don't you kneel down to greet him?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a corpse fell from a great height with a clang and hit the ground in front of the platform.

Liu Dazhong looked at the man's face with his eyes open and suddenly shuddered. This man was the head of the Lin family who was responsible for releasing the arrow formation.

Who killed him?!

Just as he was wondering, a demon with black hair and white horns flew down from the sky. She held a red long sword in her hand and walked slowly towards the platform where he was.

Liu Dazhong suddenly felt creepy. The terrifying aura emanating from this man made him afraid to even look at him directly.

Could this person really be the leader of the demon clan?

But according to the agreement between the immortals and demons, the demons cannot set foot on the human territory unless they want to go to war with the immortals.

But as far as he knew, the demons had only accepted a hundred hostages from the immortals. How could they turn so quickly? Was it because of that law that they had the ambition to annex Zhongzhou?

Liu Dazhong clenched his fists suddenly. He must... he must notify the Jinmen Immortal Palace immediately!

But it was too late.

The white-horned demon raised his hand and waved it lightly, and demonic energy surged out, instantly shattering the brilliant white light protecting the center of the formation.

She climbed the stairs, looked down at Liu Dazhong from above, and said in a cold voice, "Aren't you going to kneel down?"

Liu Dazhong felt a powerful pressure overwhelming him, and he could no longer stand and fell to his knees on the ground.

The other family heads couldn't even resist for a moment. They all knelt on the ground, their bones crackling from the pressure.

The people in the audience saw that with just one sentence from this person, the arrogant governor and the noble families all knelt down before her. They felt relieved but also terrified.

The demons are even more terrifying than Liu Dazhong, and they will definitely kill all of them.

If it was Liu Dazhong, they could still struggle a bit, but if it was this Demon Lord, they couldn't even resist.

Thinking of this, even though they weren't intimidated by the pressure, everyone knelt down in unison. Looking around, except for Yongye and the two thousand magic warriors, everyone else's legs and feet went weak and they knelt on the ground.

Qiu Qianling didn't understand this at all, but he was too lazy to ask anyone to stand up.

"Are you the Lord of Zhongzhou appointed by Xie Yuqing himself?" She looked coldly at Liu Dazhong, who was kneeling and trembling in front of her, and said in a light tone.

Liu Dazhong's heart was pounding, and he said in a trembling voice, "Yes, I am Liu Dazhong. I wonder what brings you here, Demon Lord?"

"Look up." The tone seemed to suddenly become a little colder.

Liu Dazhong didn't dare to resist and raised his head obediently, but he still didn't dare to look directly at Qiu Qianling. His eyes fell on the tip of the knife in her hand, and he was even more frightened.

He felt the other person's gaze wandering over his body, which made him feel even more terrified, as if there was a sword hanging over his head, ready to fall at any moment.

He didn't want to die yet. He hadn't yet secured his position as the ruler of Zhongzhou and had enjoyed everything. He had to find a way to survive.

He hoped that this demon king would be a little afraid of the immortals and not dare to kill him. But then he thought of his father Liu Xiaozhi. Didn't he die just like that?

Just as he was thinking about it, his jaw suddenly turned cold. "So, what did Xie Yuqing see in you that made him choose you as the state leader?"

Liu Dazhong looked down at the tip of the knife against his neck and couldn't help but tremble all over.

His intuition told him that he had to answer carefully, otherwise this demon lord would definitely chop off his head!
