Scarface's eyelids twitched. The man in front of him was the vice-captain of the mercenary group, whose cultivation and prestige were in no way inferior to his own. Because he was somewhat wary of him, he deliberately transferred him away, but he didn't expect him to return at this time.
"Thanks to the Second Leader's timely arrival, this bitch killed many of our brothers. Today we must capture her and give her a good beating!" The mercenaries who were close to the deputy leader cheered.
Although the scarred leader was somewhat displeased with the deputy commander's veiled criticism of his incompetence, this was not the time to lash out. He could only say in a deep voice, "Second-in-command, you've come at the right time. This woman is cunning and has extremely high cultivation. Let's all attack together and not give her any chance."
"Alright, let's see who can capture her first." The effeminate man observed Chu Chuyan while clicking his tongue, "What a beautiful woman, I can't bear to lay a hand on her."
Although he said that, he showed no mercy in his actions, immediately targeting the opponent's vital points.
Scarface snorted and pounced forward, not to be outdone. Having already lost face, he couldn't let his second-in-command subdue the opponent first.
Chu Chuyan was immediately in grave danger. The two men were even more powerful than her, and the other mercenaries also disregarded all the rules of the martial world and attacked her together. They used all sorts of attacks and spells, and she was soon hit several times.
If it weren't for the exquisite skill of the Snowflake Divine Sword and her quick reflexes, she would probably have been dead on the spot long ago.
Despite this, she had already coughed up blood several times, and was like a small boat in a raging sea, which could capsize at any moment.
A hint of despair flashed in her eyes. She never expected to perish in this strange secret realm, and she feared she would never have the chance to see Azu again in this lifetime.
Just then, an angry shout rang out: "Outrageous! In broad daylight, so many grown men are ganging up on a weak woman! Have they no shame?!"
A handsome young man in white flew down from mid-air, holding a fan in his hand, exuding a dashing and debonair air.
Chu Chuyan was taken aback when she saw the person who had arrived: "Prince Lieyang?"
"Oh, it's Miss Chu! How dare these people bully you! This is outrageous!" The flamboyant young man in white was none other than Prince Lieyang.
He had been waiting for the opportunity he had been imagining, and when he saw that Chu Chuyan had almost escaped the encirclement on her own, his heart was in his throat.
Fortunately, a second-in-command came out and stopped her.
Seeing that Chu Chuyan was in dire straits, he still couldn't find the opportunity he had imagined—when she was knocked away, he could fly into the air, catch her, and spin her around. But Protector Sun was urging him anxiously from the side, saying that if they waited any longer, Miss Chu would have no fighting power left, and the situation would become even more uncontrollable.
Left with no other choice, he had to show himself to "rescue" her. To make the rescue even more legendary and serendipitous, he pretended not to recognize Chu Chuyan and that he had just happened to be passing by and doing a good deed. Only when Chu Chuyan revealed his identity did he "wake up from a dream" and recognize her.
At this moment, the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group surrounded Chu Chuyan tightly in the center, and temporarily stopped attacking, instead watching this uninvited guest.
"Where did this flashy guy in white shirt and pants come from?"
"Judging from their tone, they seem to know each other. Is he some kind of prince?"
"Tch, it's not like we haven't kidnapped princes before, or even killed kings."
"This kid is dressed quite expensively, so he must be worth something."
...
Prince Lieyang's eyelids twitched as he listened, and he couldn't help but shout angrily, "You bastards! What kind of heroes are you, ganging up on the few? If you're so capable, send two people out to fight me and Miss Chu one-on-one!"
He couldn't help but feel ingenious about his move. In a desperate situation, the two of them combined their swords, shoulder to shoulder and back to back, to face a powerful enemy. Their feelings for each other must have heated up rapidly.
To everyone's surprise, the mercenary group burst into laughter: "Have you lost your mind? In this world, winning is the only thing that matters. Why would you refuse to fight outnumbered? Who's going to fight you one-on-one?"
Hearing the various taunts around him, Prince Lieyang's face turned ashen: "Fine, I originally wanted to fight you all as an ordinary person, but you forced me. Just because you have more people doesn't mean you're so great."
He clapped his hands and said, "Come out, everyone!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people appeared from all directions, subtly surrounding the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group.
Seeing the slight change in the expressions of the mercenary group, Prince Lieyang felt a surge of pleasure: "You're just relying on having more people, now it's our turn to have more people."
At this moment, the effeminate second-in-command sneered: "If the quality is not good enough, no matter how many there are, they are just a flock of sheep."
As soon as he finished speaking, he moved like a ghost, his figure swiftly darting around. Almost instantly, Prince Lieyang's men screamed in agony, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people had fallen into pools of blood, each with a large hole in their chest and their heart ripped out.
The second-in-command's hands turned into claws, long and sharp, covered with bloody hearts.
Suddenly, his mouth grew huge, and he swallowed all the hearts in his hand in one gulp, followed by a chilling chewing sound.
With a swallowing sound, the second-in-command revealed a satisfied expression: "Ah, how delicious a fresh heart is."
Prince Lieyang and his side involuntarily took a step back. Was this guy a monster? He was too manly.
The members of the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group grinned maliciously. They were all seasoned veterans and didn't need any reminders. Their tacit understanding allowed them to seize the moment when the enemy's morale was broken and pounce on them.
Soon, they brandished their weapons, reaping wave after wave of lives.
